The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1679 - 815 Midnight
Chapter 1679: 815 Midnight
The eastern sky is about to brighten, the morning dawn is slightly revealed.
The Little Princess woke up. Unlike adults, she still wanted to linger a bit upon waking. The Little Princess adorably sat up and slid down from the bed.
Eh?
Where is this place?
"Nanny?"
She walked out barefoot.
Looking at the unfamiliar corridor and courtyard, she was completely bewildered.
Before she could cry out in fear, Xiaojiu finished his morning training and came over.
"Xiaoxue?"
The Little Princess turned around adorably: "Xiaojiu?"
Xiaojiu ran over with a tap-tap-tap sound.
Seeing her familiar little friend, the Little Princess instantly forgot about her fear.
The two little beans stood face to face, their small arms flapping behind them like two excited little chicks.
"Xiaoxue!"
"Xiaojiu!"
"Xiaoxue!"
"Xiaojiu!"
The courtyard was filled with their chirping voices, and the grandma slumped in her chair, looking lifeless.
When going back, make sure not to take that little chatterbox essence with us, or she’ll drive me crazy.
...
Gu Chengfeng slept till the afternoon.
He had instructed earlier, ensuring no one disturbed him.
His behavior might seem a bit out of character, considering the Crown Prince always appeared very diligent, often working early and late, never indulging in sleeping late.
But even though it was peculiar, no one would guess the Crown Prince had been replaced.
After waking up, Gu Chengfeng went to the Crown Prince’s study room and rummaged around, hoping to find evidence of a conspiracy between the Crown Prince and the Han Family, or between the Han Family and the Hans scheming rebellion, but found little.
The Hans hadn’t even informed the Crown Prince about changing the sovereign, likely wanting his hands to remain clean, but her son had long become tainted; from the moment he ordered the assassination of Xiao Hen, he was already a malicious person.
Only the Han Family deceived herself, believing her son remained innocent even after committing murder.
She was a pathetic woman.
Despite having remarkable intelligence, she always stumbled over her husband and son.
Gu Chengfeng tutted and said, "Call you stupid, yet you come up with so many tricks; call you smart, yet you’re blind to the sovereign and the Crown Prince."
Gu Chengfeng didn’t realize then that the grandma and Gu Jiao had unconsciously raised his expectations of women in this era.
They were born into a culture that instilled respect for men, requiring obedience to their husbands, and after their husband’s death, submission to their sons. For the Hans to target the sovereign itself was already a violation of her lifelong teachings.
"Cluck-cluck-cluck—"
On the windowsill, Xiaojiu fiercely flapped his wings against the window, signaling Gu Chengfeng to take action!
Such a fierce little commander.
Gu Chengfeng pouted, changed into dry clothes, and looked in the bronze mirror.
The reason he could talk so much without revealing himself was because Gu Jiao had given him not just a mask but an entire head covering.
Making his face look bruised and swollen was to prevent facial expressions from appearing fake.
The downside was it was too stuffy.
Forget it, for the great endeavor, I’ll endure it!
Gu Chengfeng chose two Jin Yi Wei to accompany him into the palace and two eunuchs. Jin Yi Wei could only stop at the outer court, but eunuchs could be brought into the Imperial Harem.
He took a carriage to the Imperial Palace and passed by a pastry shop where he selected pastries with the two eunuchs for "his father".
When the three emerged from the pastry shop, the two eunuchs had already been replaced.
Regarding the plan for restoring order, it wasn’t about making it overly complicated or grandiose to demonstrate their capabilities. Sometimes, achieving the greatest victory with the least cost is true wisdom.
Though "the Crown Prince" had a bruised face, his general appearance, voice, token, eunuchs, and Jin Yi Wei from the Crown Prince’s mansion made no one suspicious of his authenticity.
The fake sovereign was attending court.
"Should we head to the Imperial Harem?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
The sovereign disguised as an eunuch calmly replied, "After court, he will go to the Zhonghe Hall."
Gu Chengfeng: "Oh."
Then we can’t go to the Imperial Harem.
Such a pity, I wanted to appreciate the magnificent scenery of Dayan’s Imperial Harem.
A pair of palace maids passed by from a distance.
Gu Jiao firmly pressed the sovereign’s head down: "Can you act more like a eunuch!"
She, on the other hand, was quite bold.
The nearly strangled sovereign: "..."
I suspect you’re doing it on purpose and have solid evidence!
The three entered Zhonghe Hall.
The steward of Zhonghe Hall was still Li Sande.
They weren’t sure if Li Sande had been bribed by the Hans, so they were all cautious.
"You may leave now." Gu Chengfeng said.
