MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 602 Guo Xiangyan

 “Where are the people? Get out of here!”

His temper was getting worse day by day, and he stared at the door with evil eyes, not knowing who would be the first unlucky person, but the person who came in was Guo Shilang in military uniform.

 When he saw him, the emperor suppressed the bad breath in his heart.

“I didn’t summon you today, what are you doing here?”

Guo Silang is also his cousin, but since he was promoted to the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Division, he has become more and more separated from him. Normally, Guo Silang would never enter the palace unless ordered to do so, so why is he doing this today? What does it look like?

Sitting on the couch, the emperor looked at ease.

He had no idea that the weather outside had changed a long time ago. He thought that Guo Silang wanted to sue him for something, so he had already set up his posture. His condescending expression made Guo Silang really disgusted, so he didn't talk nonsense with him anymore and just went straight to it. He spoke.

“I’ve been the emperor for seven years, but I wonder if my cousin thinks it’s really satisfying?”

 The emperor narrowed his eyes, feeling unhappy when he looked at him.

“You are so impudent, don’t rely on your little blood relationship with the Guo family to show off in front of me. Do you think I am reluctant to attack you?”

"Reluctant to part with me? How can Your Majesty be reluctant to part with my insignificant cousin? My grandfather and aunt can be kicked away by you, so who am I?"

"You are self-aware, but it's a pity that my grandfather didn't understand this, so he ended up being a dead end. It's no wonder that I am not allowed to sleep soundly under the imperial authority."

At this point, Guo Silang had nothing to say.

　　Taking out a letter from home, he read it out.

“My grandfather died of illness half a month ago in Jinling City. My grandmother also went there because of the friendship we had for so many years. The Guo family is grieving the loss of their elders, so they sent a letter asking us to go back to attend the funeral. Cousin, do you know about this?”

 The emperor was not impressed.

How could the Guo family's family letter be as fast as the royal news? So of course he knew about it a few days ago, but he kept it secret because he didn't want the matter to have too big an impact.

For him, there is not much difference between his grandfather's death and his life. Those who were involved with the Guo family have been mostly dealt with by Xing Xiang and Dingpinghou, and the only remaining one is the troublesome Gu Shaoyu.

However, these few years have also eroded a lot of his military strength, so the emperor believes that in at least five years, all the past glory will be in the past, and he will be the only powerful power in this dynasty.

So, after coughing twice, he looked at Guo Silang with a very calm expression.

"My maternal grandparents are old. Passing away safely is also a happy mourning. Therefore, I decided to posthumously make him a first-class protector of the country. This title can be inherited. There are not many in the Guo family who can support the family. I will look at you. Very good, so when Shiro goes back this time, he should have a good discussion with your uncles and brothers about who should be recommended to sit in this seat!"

He is a first-class protector of the country and has a good reputation.

It's a pity that Guo Silang can still see such an obvious alienation plan.

It is nothing more than using this high-ranking official and generous salary to share the food of their Guo family. If some of the Guo family have their thoughts on this prince, they will naturally know how to please the emperor. When the time comes, the Guo family will not need external intervention, but they will be in chaos internally. It's become a pot of porridge.

Thinking of this, Guo Silang completely lost any ties of family affection to his cousin, so he wiped the tears in his eyes and said his last true words to the ruthless emperor in front of him.

"His Majesty the Emperor likes to calculate people's hearts so much. You must know that if you do evil, you will be killed! My poor aunt has been buried in this palace all her life, otherwise she shouldn't live like this!" After all, this Guo Silang He left the palace without looking back.

After he left, a few palace servants walked in tremblingly at the palace door, but they were all minor palace servants, but they did not see Eunuch Liu, who followed the emperor every day.

“This is so outrageous! Is it his turn to teach me a lesson? The Guo boy is so rude, I don’t know if he was instigated behind his back!”

　　At this point, even if it is not, it must be.

As for this candidate, Gu Shaoyu is naturally the most suitable. Anyway, he is naturally proud, so it is not surprising that he has such an idea. Maybe he plans to win over the Guo family and give him a show of strength!

　　With a cold snort, the emperor shouted outside.

“Go and call Marquis Dingping to me.”

The palace man was trembling and didn't know how to answer. The emperor became more and more dissatisfied and yelled at him.

 “Are you deaf?”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..., the Imperial Guards have just... surrounded the palace, saying that no one is allowed to enter or exit without permission!"

 When he heard this, the emperor was so shocked that he almost thought he was hallucinating.

how can that be possible?

　　The people from the Praetorian Guards have always been his confidants, how could they do this?

Is it possible that someone inside was instigated and intended to do evil to him?

Then how did Guo Silang come in just now!

A series of questions ran through his mind. At this moment, his whole body was sweating, and he began to panic.

He could be regarded as fighting his way out of the thorny road, but at that time, Wen had Prime Minister Guo, and Wu had Gu Shaoyu. Among the counselors, Mr. Wen was the one who made the final decision. Many dangers were dealt to him by these people before they even came to him. Resolved one by one.

Therefore, he always felt that the only opponents for the throne of the emperor were his fourth brother and the others, but he did not know that if these people had not blocked him from the front, left and right, his road to the throne would have been ten times and a hundred times more difficult.

"No, no, I've made a lot of plans over the years. How could I be trapped by the Imperial Guards so easily? No, come here, come here, bring Eunuch Liu and the Imperial Concubine to me. Find it! Find it!"

He was furious, but it was no use.

If they could be found, they would have been found long ago, but now, it is not clear where these people are, how can they be found?

In the palace, it became quiet in a silent manner.

From the outside, there seems to be nothing wrong, but only those who are inside know that this is like the process of being swallowed by a giant snake, which is long and desperate.

 Outside the imperial city, the Xing family.

When Prime Minister Xing saw Gu Shaoyu, he was really surprised. He already had countless thoughts in his mind, but he still had to pretend to be calm and speak.

“General Gu, if I remember correctly, there was no order from the court to call you back to the capital. Why are you here?”

"Isn't Prime Minister Xing always boasting that he is unparalleled in intelligence? It shouldn't be difficult to guess that Shao Yu will be here!"

Xing Xiang’s hands behind his back were clenched into fists.

His face is slightly pale. If others are standing here, it can only mean one thing. Sui'an City and even the Imperial City have been controlled.
