Chapter 137: Gossips in the Capital
An Er’s resistance was futile and he retreated with a broken expression.
Ever since he had kidnapped the princess consort, An Si had been sent to the Villains’ Valley.
As the name implied, there were villains everywhere and they needed to be dealt with every day. He had even mocked him the last time but he did not expect retribution to come so quickly.
Gu An’s eyes were still darting around the rabbit’s body. Gu Ruoyun asked, “You want to go too?”
Gu An hurriedly shook her head. What was she going to do?
She immediately indicated that she was going back. Gu Ruoyun stopped her and asked her to check on Su Yan.
Gu An came to Su Yan’s bed. A trace of pain flashed across her eyes. She looked at her again and asked in surprise, “How long has it been since the princess consort passed away?”
Gu Ruoyun replied, “Half a month.”
Gu An replied, “That shouldn’t be. The princess consort doesn’t have any signs of a dead person.”
Not only that, she was no different from a living person.
Other than the low temperature, her face was ruddy and her muscles were full. She did not look like a dead person at all.
Gu Ruoyun asked, “That means that her body won’t rot, right?”
Gu An nodded, “It seems so now, but we can’t rule out the possibility of it in the future.”
Gu Ruoyun muttered to himself, “Now, you should study the method to prevent the corpse from rotting. If there’s anything wrong with her body, deal with it as soon as possible.”
Gu An was shocked by his words. Could it be that the Royal Highness did not intend to bury the princess consort?
After Gu Ruoyun had asked him to leave, he looked at Su Yan’s body and thought of what Master Xuanfeng had said. He did not think that there would be any problems, but it was better to be prepared.
He asked someone to suppress the news of Su Yan’s death and only said that she was unconscious.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire. At first, it was said that Princess Consort Guang Pingwang had rushed to the battlefield to save the Royal Highness and had died defending the Royal Highness from an arrow. Later, it was said that Princess Consort was not dead but only unconscious.
Later, it was unknown who said that PrincessConsort Guang Pingwang had passed away. However, the Royal Highness did not want to believe the truth. He found someone to seal Princess Consort Guang Pingwang’s body and pretended to be unconscious.
In any case, whether it was true or not, everyone was praising the love of the Guang Pingwang couple.
Another piece of news came from the capital. The Emperor had passed away.
This news came suddenly. The Emperor, who had not gone to court for a few days, had suddenly passed away. This could not help but make people suspect that someone had done it.
The first prince took the Emperor’s imperial edict to abdicate the throne, and everyone was in an uproar.
The crown prince suddenly took out the evidence of the first prince’s rebellion and tripped him. Just as he was about to inherit the throne, the remaining princes, led by the third prince, really rebelled.
After testing the waters and making sure that Guang Pingwang would not interfere in the coup, everyone’s actions became more and more drastic.
The entire imperial palace was in chaos, and only the cold palace was quiet.
The seventh prince once again set his gaze on the rabbit that had grown up quite a bit. He ground his teeth, but still did not eat her.
Ever since Su Yan had gone to the border, no one had come to deliver food to him.
He had returned to the time when he had gone to steal food, but he had always kept this rabbit.
The expression in his eyes became deeper.
Su Yan was in the Guang Residence, eating, drinking, and having fun. She was never tired of it.
An Yi looked at the rabbit running around in the courtyard and sighed every time.
But when he thought of the end of An Er, he did not dare to say anything more.
An Si, who had successfully come ashore, treated the rabbit, Su Yan, quite well. If it were not for her, he did not know how long he would have to stay in that d*mned place.
The coup in the imperial palace had finally been pacified and the crown prince had succeeded to the throne. The remaining princes were either dead or injured.
Gu Ruoyun had to attend the crown prince’s coronation ceremony.
An Yi looked at the rabbit in his hand and was already numb to it.
After a series of tedious procedures, Gu Ruoyun finally appeared in the main hall when the crown prince had ascended to the throne.
However, no one dared to say anything against him.
Su Yan, who was so happy that she did not want to go back, only remembered this little fellow when she saw Nalan Cui with his head lowered in a small corner.
