Gu Wan Ning felt that the situation was far from simple, and her reluctance only grew. She exchanged a glance with the people behind her, and they quickly surrounded her.
Shi Zi Mo was instantly enraged; he lifted his foot and kicked one of the people opposite him. "Heavens, we’re going against the decree! Let’s see what you can do!"
Without needing to think, Shi Zi Mo could tell from their demeanor that this was undoubtedly a scheme concocted by Consort An and Pei Zhi Rui.
Gu Wan Ning resisted entering the palace, knowing that if the higher-ups blamed her, it would lead to dire consequences. She waved her hand, signaling for them to forcibly take Gu Wan Ning away.
Furious, Shi Zi Mo immediately engaged in a fight, taking down several people within a mere incense stick's time, leaving them unable to rise.
Seeing that Shi Zi Mo was a tough opponent, those delivering the decree hurriedly retreated. Shi Zi Mo kicked one of them hard, sending him flying a good distance away.
Under Gu Wan Ning's direction, the guards temporarily detained everyone in the estate, waiting for news from the Jing Wangfu.
In less than half an hour, Yin Sha appeared before Gu Wan Ning and Shi Zi Mo. "Miss, Pei Zhi Rui has rebelled. The Princess has instructed you to stay in the estate and not go anywhere."
They secured the gates of the Duke Zhongyuan's residence and decided to remain inside while she handled the remaining matters.
Gu Wan Ning hadn’t expected Pei Zhi Rui to lose his patience completely and choose this moment to stage a coup. They needed to suppress these people first before dealing with them later.
With her vision just barely functional, Gu Wan Ning efficiently instructed the guards in the estate. Since Gu Qing Ning returned, all the guards had been reorganized by her; those who remained were loyal followers.
The guards forcefully pushed down those delivering the decree. Pei Zhi Rui truly did not know when to quit!
Shi Zi Mo cursed in his heart at Emperor Jing for having such an ungrateful son. He thought that as long as he rebelled, success was guaranteed, without considering any escape routes.
After receiving a letter from Pei Zhi Jing, Gu Qing Ning immediately began arranging to handle everything.
Little did she expect that Pei Zhi Rui would lose all patience and abandon even the matter of marriage proposals, boldly poisoning Emperor Jing and forcing him to write a decree of abdication along with an edict for appointing an heir.
In the palace, in the imperial study.
Emperor Jing looked at Pei Zhi Rui, who had already been captured, and reproached him sorrowfully: "Wretched child!"
He had even unhesitatingly agreed to Gu Wan Ning's marriage proposal for him. Yet he remained unsatisfied, constantly clinging to this position without letting go.
The thought that he had actually conspired with the capital's guards to force him to publicly write a letter of abdication filled Emperor Jing with a rage so intense that he felt like he could strangle him.
Hahaha.
Pei Zhirui's eyes were bloodshot as he laughed loudly.
"Father, am I the unworthy son? I am just as much your son as Pei Zhiqing. Why is it that you can only see him and not me? Why?!"
As soon as his words fell, a series of coughs echoed through the grand hall, each one more urgent than the last, yet no one dared to step forward. Only Zhou was busy helping him catch his breath.
"I work hard on my studies, yet you don’t even glance at my efforts. You say I am the eldest son, which is expected, but you don’t even offer a simple word of praise. Meanwhile, the Ninth Brother merely coughs once, and no matter how far away you are, you rush to check on him."
Thus, I am jealous of him—jealous to the point of madness. Yet he is so resilient; despite being poisoned so deeply, he still hasn’t died.
Emperor Jing stared blankly at the twisted figure of Pei Zhirui, shaking his head.
"We are brothers; why must we harm each other so hastily? I have only you two sons left. He is weak, so naturally, I must care for him more. This is not a reason for rebellion."
Emperor Jing did not believe he was at fault; he pushed all blame onto Pei Zhirui.
Hahaha.
Hearing such words felt incredibly ironic to Pei Zhirui.
Emperor Jing refused to look at him any longer and ordered for him to be taken away.
