Chapter 160 Surprisingly
Gu Mingtang and his family left, and Lin Xiaoxiao's screams of childbirth echoed behind them, making Gu Linglong shudder.
[Tsk, harming others and harming oneself. Even the black mudfish's son is dead, so this one is just another strange stillborn.]
[The black loach wanted his son to parasitize Lin Xiaoxiao's womb, so he used a secret method from the beginning. When his son died, the fetus inside also died.]
Gu Yu'an and the others felt a chill and unconsciously quickened their pace.
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to use the child to get rid of the fake emperor, but the fake emperor used the child to allow his son to possess her body. Sigh...
[Lin Xiaoxiao will definitely use the system's strategy to win back the favor of those who imprisoned her or escape. Sigh, how should I warn my father and the others?]
Gu Mingtang and Gu Yu'an exchanged a glance, both understanding the situation.
More than half a month has passed since Gu Minghai and Lin Xiaoxiao's affair was discovered.
The fake medicine incident has been investigated and found to be the mastermind behind it. The officials who took the fake medicine anonymously petitioned for Gu Minghai to be executed immediately.
In the gloomy prison cell, Gu Minghai sat on the ground covered with withered grass, while Gu Chenshi in the next room wept uncontrollably.
"My son, how did you get in?"
"What am I going to do now that you're in here? That heartless Gu Mingtang won't save you, even though you're his brother!"
"I didn't intend to kill my brother."
Madam Gu's crying stopped abruptly: "Mingtang, Mingtang, did you come to save me and your brother?"
Gu Minghai also looked up at Gu Mingtang. He didn't believe Gu Mingtang would save him, but he still pleaded, "The child in Lin Meiren's womb is innocent. Please, elder brother, protect him."
"His Majesty ordered my men to dispose of the child. I thought you would like to see him, so I brought him here."
Gu Minghai's heart sank. What did "handle" mean? Execute him or send him away secretly?
It must have been sent out secretly, right?
He glanced hopefully at the basket in the servant's hand, even just a glimpse would be enough.
He pulled back the white cloth, but was so frightened that he took dozens of steps back, his voice trembling: "What...what...what kind of monster is this?"
"This is the child Lin Xiaoxiao gave birth to."
Gu Minghai shook his head frantically: "Impossible, impossible, how could this child be like this?"
Gu Mingtang scoffed, "How could it not be like that? Do you think this child is yours?"
Gu Minghai choked. The child was completely black, with a pointed mouth and a monkey-like mouth, and only had one leg. It was clear that the child could not have been born to a normal person.
Considering the prime minister's shaman and the strange things the shaman said about the emperor, it's clear that the child isn't his.
Not his.
It belonged to the emperor; Lin Xiaoxiao was lying to him.
At this point, the excuse that he exposed him to the emperor in order to protect their children seemed especially ridiculous.
"Ha ha ha ha"
Gu Minghai burst into laughter, but then he started crying: "Wrong, wrong, all wrong!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Madam Gu, who was standing nearby, roughly understood what was going on: "Son, I told you long ago that it was a vixen, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, it's all that vixen's fault you came in here."
"Lin Xiaoxiao is shameless. She ruined me and my son..."
Having achieved his goal, Gu Mingtang didn't want to watch the two of them act crazy, so he automatically blocked their voices.
"Mingtang, Mingtang, Mother knows she was wrong, please save Mother!"
"I'd even be willing to save your brother..."
"Son, please stop laughing, it scares me..."
Chu Yuan did not attend court for half a month.
The court was abuzz with discussion, and the second prince announced his illness and refused to leave the palace.
"This is a perfect time."
Lin Xiaoxiao, confined to the cold palace, sighed, "If I don't leave now, when will I ever get another chance?"
In the past two weeks, with the help of the system, she had already won over everyone in the Cold Palace and obtained the information she wanted.
As dusk fell, Lin Xiaoxiao changed into a palace maid's outfit and quietly slipped out of the back door of the Cold Palace.
"You got it without any effort? Tsk, you think a cold palace can confine me?"
She later learned that the little stool from her palace had gone to Consort Ning's palace. Only the palace he went to was the best.
She left, but Consort Ning rose quickly. Even a fool would think that this little stool was the one who betrayed her; Consort Ning was Chu Jingyan's birth mother.
She had no grudge against Chu Jingyan, but Chu Jingyan was on good terms with Gu Yu'an, so it must be one of Gu Yu'an's people.
Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and vowed, "I'll make your Gu family pay once I leave the palace."
"Who are you going to make look bad?"
Su Xiuran's clear voice rang out.
"You...why are you here?"
After Ning Pin was promoted to Ning Fei, she frequently summoned Su Xiu Ran to the palace.
Every time Su Xiuran enters the palace, she makes a point of circling around here to prevent her from escaping. Although the Sixth Prince said that someone would be assigned to guard her, she was still worried.
Su Xiuran bowed to Consort Ning: "Your Majesty, this humble woman does not know what crime a deposed consort commits by fleeing?"
"To be executed by caning according to the law"
Lin Xiaoxiao's face paled for a moment.
Chunhe's eyes darted around: "Your Majesty, she's stealing things too! Look at her bundle; there's nothing good in the Cold Palace."
"I didn't steal it, these are my things."
Consort Ning gave a signal, and two maids stepped forward to pull Lin Xiaoxiao's bundle.
"This is mine, you can't take it from me."
You can't steal it.
Granny: "Give it to me."
During the struggle, the contents of the bundle fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
Chunhe's eyes widened: "Why are all of these my wife's jewelry?"
Gu Linglong instantly snapped back to reality. [Oh my god, could it be… no way, no way!]
Su Xiuran: "Your Majesty, may I speak with her alone?"
"it is good"
Su Xiuran was curious as to why she was so good to Lin Xiaoxiao, yet still tried to harm the Gu family.
I have something I want to ask you.
Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned pale: "Speak."
"Why...why harm the Gu family?"
Lin Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "People die for wealth, birds die for food."
"But……"
While Lin Xiaoxiao was talking to the madam, Chunhe had to take all the things over, otherwise she would have to sell them for a lot of money if she escaped.
Suddenly—she saw a small cloth bag. Could it be silver?
She opened the small cloth bag, her eyes widening in surprise; inside were the lady's fingernails.
She remembered clearly that a dark red cardamom tint with fresh flowers printed on it was popular in the capital.
Chunhe excitedly said she wanted to make one for her wife too, but her skills were really too poor, and the little flower she put on was crooked and difficult to bloom.
The lady was so unhappy that she even cut off her nails. How could she not remember the ugly nails she had done?
Chunhe was somewhat alarmed. Why was Lin Xiaoxiao keeping the lady's fingernails?
"Is Lin Xiaoxiao a pervert? Why is she keeping my wife's fingernails like that?"
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly tried to snatch the small bag from Chunhe's hand.
"No, it's not hers."
"How could I not remember the ugly manicure I did?"
Lin Xiaoxiao panicked instantly and cautiously glanced at Su Xiuran.
Upon witnessing this scene, a bold idea popped into Chunhe's mind.
She covered her mouth in horror and pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao: "You...you actually...you actually had improper thoughts about our lady?"
