The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 11: Lao Ding, Watch Out, How I Killed Him (Two in One)

When Gu Fangchen was caught off guard and saw Gu Yuye's gaunt and cold face, she was really shocked.

On the one hand, Gu Yuye came suddenly, and he was already in a state of high tension.

It's like watching a horror movie and concentrating on admiring the heroine's big breasts, and suddenly encountering a jumpscare.

It's hard not to shudder.

On the other hand, and most importantly, this is an instinctive reaction in this body's memory.

——In the original body’s heart, Gu Yuye was a complete shadow.

When Gu Fangchen was still able to practice, he was unwilling to give up and worked hard.

It was because every time Gu Fangchen was assassinated, Gu Yuye never said a word of comfort after returning home. He just looked at him with a cold and disappointed look, then dealt with the matter and left.

Gu Fangchen felt again and again that he was not strong enough and that was why he disappointed his father.

He was obsessed with gaining the approval of his "father".

Although the results were minimal, especially compared to Gu Lianxian, it seemed like a drop in the bucket.

But he really tried hard.

However, after his Dantian was destroyed, all of Gu Fangchen's efforts became a joke.

What was destroyed was not only his Dantian, but also his mentality.

The confinement room in the palace was prepared only for Gu Fangchen, and its structure was very simple.

There are only walls on all four sides, completely soundproof and no light.

Whenever Gu Fangchen made a mistake, he would be locked up and forced to kneel facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

One level lasts for three days.

To Gu Fangchen now, this is a torture specially prepared to destroy a person's will.

But in the original body's view, this was actually his father's tolerance.

Not hitting or scolding, isn’t that very light?

But since when, whenever he thought of Gu Yuye, he would tremble with fear and subconsciously become afraid.

He thought it was his weakness and became increasingly self-loathing.

Little did they know that this was Gu Yuye's method and purpose.

……

Gu Yuye stood there with his hands behind his back, looking down at the idiot in front of him whom he had created.

When he noticed Gu Fangchen's trembling, he felt extremely satisfied.

On the battlefield, Gu Yuye is a military saint, known as the "inner demon", and is feared by everyone.

As we all know, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

To the enemy, Gu Yuye is their inner demon that they cannot escape. He can always fool them around easily like a ghost, making them lose their weapons and flee in disarray without realizing it.

And when he used these psychological tactics on this "son" one by one, the effect remained the same.

He had perfectly achieved the target he wanted to create.

And he made sure that when he wanted to completely eliminate a stain, he only had to wave his hand, like "dusting off a speck of dust."

Gu Fangchen.

From the moment this name was chosen, a tragedy was doomed.

Gu Yuye looked at Gu Fangchen and said coldly:
"You evil creature, you have colluded with the Demon Cult, usurping their power and passing yourself off as the real thing. You still refuse to repent! Come here and kneel down!"

His voice was not loud, but when it reached Gu Fangchen's ears, it was like a thunderclap, causing his internal organs to vibrate.

Gu Yuye snorted coldly.

The pressure from a third-grade cultivator came crashing down.

Gu Fangchen suddenly felt an invisible force pressing on his neck and shoulders, trying to force him to his knees!
His eyes went dark and he groaned. The injuries he had already suffered from the counterattack effect of the Huilan Formation were immediately affected.

"I knew it, Gu Yuye absolutely wanted to silence me!"

Gu Fangchen was secretly shocked.

Although the fake prince in the game died at the beginning, it can be seen from the various fragmented clues in the game that his death is definitely related to Gu Yuye and his son.

He could even conclude that the original body did not commit suicide.

From the moment the father and son recognized each other, he, the fake, had no value. On the contrary, because of Ning Caiyong's feelings for him, he became a time bomb.

Gu Yuye is a man who plans a hundred steps ahead, overbearing and domineering, and acts arbitrarily.

What I hate most in life is unstable factors that are out of my control.

When they met, he wanted to use the information of Gu Fangchen's "deliberate deception" to intimidate Ning Caiyong, and kill Gu Fangchen directly before she could react.

Gu Yuye is going to kill him!

Gu Fangchen tried to resist the force, but the more he tried to straighten his body, the stronger the force coming from the void became.

"Creak, creak -"

He could clearly hear his flesh and bones gradually becoming unable to bear the enormous weight, and the internal tissues were breaking.

It is conceivable that if this continues, he will be like a balloon filled with water under a hydraulic press.

It exploded with a bang, turning into a pool of rotten meat.

Ning Caiyong was immediately distressed when he saw the young man stagger and bleed from all seven orifices. He subconsciously wanted to go over and catch him.

"Chen'er!"

However, as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Gu Yuandao.

Gu Yuandao said sternly:

"Mother! Don't you understand? Three years ago, he had already been in contact with the Demon Cult. Not only does he know what happened back then, he is also very likely an insider of the Demon Cult!"

However, the beautiful woman stopped, took a deep breath, and whispered:

"I know."

"what?"

Gu Yuandao was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

Ning Caiyong looked at the handsome young man in front of him.

At first sight, she knew that this was her biological child whom she had carried for ten months.

In terms of appearance, demeanor, and achievements, Gu Yuandao is more like the prince of the royal palace and can be described as flawless.

But seeing Gu Fangchen's pain, and thinking back to that time when the little child was holding her hand and saying that it was in so much pain...

She couldn't bear it.

Ning Caiyong repeated:

"I know about this matter, and I have always known it. Chen'er has not colluded with the Demon Cult. I can testify to this."

The Princess of Zhenbei, who had been weak and docile all her life, looked at Gu Yuye calmly, lifted the hem of her skirt, walked around Gu Yuandao, turned around and stood in front of the two of them.

She said word by word:
"If the prince is here for this matter, then please go back."

Gu Yuye was silent for a moment, and then his hard brows relaxed slightly.

"Since the princess has spoken..."

The huge pressure in the air suddenly disappeared.

Gu Fangchen breathed a sigh of relief like a drowning man who had just reached the shore. However, he was choked by the sweet and fishy taste that surged up his throat and started coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ning Caiyong quickly turned around and patted him gently on the back.

"Mom, I'm fine..."

Gu Fangchen grinned and raised his hand to touch his ears and eyes.

Sure enough, I felt blood on my hand.

Gu Fangchen sighed.

Before meeting Gu Yuye, he wondered whether he should temporarily stay out of the spotlight and pretend to be nice to him.

After all, this is a third-rank powerful person with great power in the court.

In any case, it is not a wise decision to confront him head-on when he has not even started to develop.

But now, he felt it was no longer necessary.

Gu Yuye wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Gu Yuye.

What else is there to say?

"spit!"

Gu Fangchen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Touching his heart, he felt the anger and unwillingness of another soul.

The position of Crown Prince had always been reserved for his own biological son. However, the consequences of inheriting the title fell on an outsider like him, and in the end, he even had to make things worse for the original owner.

The poison entered the blood and destroyed the dantian, leaving him with no power to resist. What a good calculation!

Why?

Gu Fangchen looked at Gu Yuye and said softly with a playful look:
"I guess you already have a soul-searching spell in your hand, just waiting for my mother's attention to be diverted so that you can slap me on the forehead and find the answer you want directly from my messed-up brain, right?"

Gu Yuye's right hand suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank imperceptibly.

How can it be?

"Gu Yuye, you're really easy to guess!"

There was no smile in Gu Fangchen's eyes as she looked at him with a smile.

"Two-faced, fickle, cunning, vicious, and sinister, how can you be called a saint?"

Before Gu Yuye could speak, Gu Yuandao got anxious and shouted coldly:

"Shut up! How can a villain like you, who has done so many evil things, have the right to turn the tables?!"

"Father was only doing this for the sake of the country and the people. He wanted to ensure that the Demon Cult wouldn't use some disloyal people to destabilize the Wei Dynasty. Even though his methods were a bit rough, it was because of his upright character and his eagerness to protect the country."

"On the contrary, if you truly have a clear conscience, you should allow your father to search your soul and verify it."

"Father is a great Third-Rank Great Sage. How could a single soul-searching technique possibly harm your soul in the slightest? You're clearly feeling guilty, aren't you?"

God is so fucking honest!

If those who died at Gu Yuye's hands heard this, they would probably laugh themselves to death...

I have to say it, he is worthy of being the top scholar, his tongue is so damned sharp, he can say both the positive and negative sides of the words!
He is worthy of being the one who is in charge of speaking in the later period of the protagonist group. When encountering some difficult characters, send him out to lobby, and nine out of ten times he can get through directly.

He quickly passed the blame back to Gu Fangchen.

Unfortunately, Gu Fangchen didn't intend to reason with him.

Gu Fangchen shook his head and said in surprise:
"If I remember correctly, today should be the first time you and your son meet, right?"

"How come our Great Wei's top scholar always calls me father so easily?"

"Is it because you didn't have a father to raise you before that you are so eager to fulfill your filial duty?"

Just kidding, I honed my keyboard skills by arguing with people on forums every day.

The key is to kill with one strike.

Gu Yuandao had never seen such a personal attack before. His face flushed red and he pointed angrily:

"you!"

Gu Fangchen shook his head, turned to Ning Caiyong and said with a smile:
"Mom, look, he's anxious."

Ning Caiyong: “…”

The princess covered her mouth and coughed twice, then pulled Gu Fangchen, signaling him not to go too far.

At the same time, because of Gu Fangchen's words, a faint question mark appeared in her mind.

Yes, it should be the first time we meet.

Why does it seem like there is no rift between this father and son?

Blood ties might explain it... but I always feel like something is odd.

Gu Yuandao's chest heaved, and he flung his sleeves, his eyes blazing with fire: "Me!"

He was really anxious.

Having not seen his biological mother for so many years, he naturally longed to achieve success one day so that his mother would look upon him differently.

But in the end, not only did his own mother sided with this fake guy, but he was also humiliated like this in front of her, and he had no way to refute it.

Gu Yuye raised his hand and stopped Gu Yuandao.

He calmly looked at his "son" in front of him whose face was covered in blood, his eyes like an opaque abyss, making it impossible to understand.

No matter how you look at Gu Fangchen in front of you, he is still that useless waste.

But Gu Yuye suddenly felt a strong sense of disharmony in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Shouldn't.

It shouldn't be like this.

Why isn't he afraid?
Not only did he not look afraid, he even looked... fearless.

Gu Yuye was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"who are you?"

When these words were spoken, Ning Caiyong and Gu Yuandao were both stunned.

Gu Fangchen's heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled:
"Why, the prince doesn't recognize me as his son, but he doesn't even recognize me?"

"Then let me introduce myself to you again. My name is Gu Fangchen."

No lie...

Gu Yuye's eyes became even deeper.

Gu Fangchen wiped the blood off his face, but found that it couldn't be wiped clean, so he simply gave up.

He walked forward and stood in front of the Gu family father and son.

After looking around, he picked up a branch from the ground and pointed it directly at Gu Yuye.

Gu Fangchen let out the breath he had been holding in his heart and said directly:

"Gu Yuye, even though everyone thinks I'm taking advantage of the Zhenbei Palace's reputation to do whatever I want, and that the Zhenbei Palace is doing me a favor, you should also know that I never owe you anything."

"There is no such thing as water without roots or fruit without causes in this world."

Ning Caiyong stared at his son's back in a daze. He suddenly felt a little strange, but also a sense of certainty arose spontaneously.

This is still Gu Fangchen, nothing has changed.

Even the vague sense of disharmony that had been present since Gu Fangchen was brought out disappeared instantly.

Gu Fangchen also felt that the vague feeling of depression in his heart since the time travel completely disappeared.

He seemed to feel something—

This is probably the original body's unwillingness.

Gu Fangchen smiled inwardly. It seemed that he had also realized what he wanted to do...

Gu Yuandao sneered beside him:

"If you don't owe the palace anything, who else would you owe it to? If it weren't for you, your father would have lived a flawless life, yet why would he be branded as a 'bad parent' and impeached all day long?"

"If it weren't for you..."

Gu Fangchen ignored his chatter and continued to talk to himself:

"Similarly, I don't like people owing me anything. You almost killed me twice today, so let's count it as two and a half times."

"so……"

"Old Ding, watch carefully, this is how I kill him."

Before Gu Fangchen finished speaking, Gu Yuye had already keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Lao Ding, who is that?
Gu Fangchen's ridiculous branch seemed like a child's willful joke, without any killing power, but at this moment, he felt an extreme sign of danger!

Everyone present was puzzled: who was he going to kill?
The next second, they knew.

Gu Yuye's pupils constricted, and he reacted in an instant and raised his hand.

This time, he didn't hold anything back.

As long as he takes action, Gu Fangchen will definitely die.

However, without any warning, the next second, his expression froze and his eyes lost their luster.

The mountain-like figure of the King of Zhenbei collapsed and turned into dust.

Floating in the air.

Gu Fangchen lightly drew the branch in his hand, and [Life and Death] was activated.

……

Inside the White Horse Temple.

In the backyard of the temple, in a quiet courtyard.

The night breeze was blowing gently, and in the pool in the center of the patio, a pool of dark purple lotus flowers quietly opened, emitting bursts of charming fragrance.

Layers of fluttering snow-white gauze curtains block out the view from outside.

The abbot of the White Horse Temple was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, his forehead pressed against the ground.

A lazy female voice sounded from behind the gauze curtain, with an interested tone.

"You mean, before I arrived today, there was someone who knew I was coming?"
