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

Chapter 4 Leaving the Palace
Ning Caiyong felt so distressed that his originally stiff body gradually relaxed.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the back of the child she had raised for nineteen years.

Ever since Gu Fangchen's Dantian was destroyed at the age of twelve, his character has become increasingly naughty and violent, and his behavior has become increasingly erratic. Over the years, she has often been upset and sad, and has felt uncontrollable disappointment in him.

She came from a noble and upright family, and had a gentle and kind personality. How could she not have any resentment towards such a terrible and dissolute son?
Ning Caiyong also tried to dissuade his son, but all he got was Gu Fangchen's boredom and indifference.

In the past two years, the relationship between mother and son has been drifting apart.

Even if you feel guilty, there will be a day when you will be consumed by such endless evil deeds.

The moment he learned that Gu Yuye and the new number one scholar had recognized each other in the court, Ning Caiyong found it difficult to judge whether he felt a flash of relief in his heart.
However, Gu Fangchen showed weakness, dependence and trust at this moment.

Ning Caiyong felt as if she was back in the year when Gu Fangchen was twelve years old. She saw the little boy lying on the ground covered in blood, with a huge bloody hole in his abdomen that almost cut him in half.

The blood that kept flowing out turned into an overwhelming surge of guilt.

She is a mother, how could she abandon her child?

Even if he wasn't her biological child, he was still the one she raised with her own hands! Could this nineteen-year relationship be fake?

If she had even the slightest thought of this, she would be incompetent.

Ning Caiyong said softly with shame:
"Don't be afraid, Chen'er, Mom is here. Mom will take you away and will never let anyone hurt you again!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fangchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is just a gamer, not a professional actor. When he acts in front of the people who are most familiar with his original self, they will probably be able to tell that something is wrong at a glance.

That's why I just took the initiative.

One is to use the misalignment of the hug to cover up the flaws in the expression.

The second is to arouse Ning Caiyong's guilt, so that she is overwhelmed by emotions and unable to think carefully.

However, when Gu Fangchen opened his mouth just now, he felt a complex emotion surging in his heart, and his nose felt sore.

It can be said to be an expression of true feelings.

It was as if the original body's emotions had also merged with the memories.

This made him feel a lot more at ease. After all, there are concepts of spirits in this world. If he was "resurrected from a dead body", there would most likely be sequelae.

There is also a chance that it will be seen through and become a hidden danger.

The current situation should be the best.

……

Gu Fangchen stood up with the help of Ning Caiyong.

As soon as he stood up, he couldn't help but bend over and spit out a mouthful of blood again.

Ning Caiyong's face turned pale and he said quickly:
"Chen'er!"

The old woman who had been watching from the side took two steps forward and took Gu Fangchen's pulse.

Gu Fangchen immediately felt a very strong and cold spiritual power entering his body, suppressing the burning sensation in his heart.

After a slight sensation, the old woman whispered:
"Miss, don't worry. The prince is fine. The flower-picking seal has not loosened. It's just that due to the external impact, his blood and qi surged temporarily, causing the toxins in his heart to become agitated."

"It will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Ning Caiyong stretched out his slender jade hand without any disdain, wiped the blood from Gu Fangchen's lips, and murmured:
"Grandma Cui, how can I not worry?"

She had just received the news, and these people in the palace dared to pretend to obey her and secretly harm her Chen'er.

If in the future...

How can Chen'er gain a foothold in this palace?

Gu Fangchen was not as calm as Granny Cui. Upon hearing this, he immediately covered his chest and howled with a pale face:

"Mom, I don't want to die! Am I going to be poisoned?"

Ning Caiyong hurried to comfort her, but Gu Fangchen looked even more upset with a sad face.

"I feel so bad! It's like there's a fire burning inside me!"

"I knew that Gu Yuye's own son had returned and wanted me to give up my position to him. He wanted me to die!"

He rolled up his sleeves and showed them to Ning Caiyong, saying with conviction:
"Mother, this poison thread must have gotten deeper!"

Ning Caiyong saw it clearly. Since the Flower-Picking Seal set by Master Juehui had not loosened, this poison would definitely not cause any trouble.

But Gu Fangchen looked at her eagerly.

She knew the situation clearly and felt helpless.

This child must want to make a fuss again to prove that his position in his mother's heart has not changed.

In the past, Gu Fangchen was always unreasonable and whatever he did was evil and harmful to the world. His mischief only hurt the relationship between mother and son.

But tonight was different, he was really being murdered. At least on the surface it was true.

Ning Caiyong felt that it was normal for Gu Fangchen to seek a sense of security.

She thought for a moment and said softly:

"In that case, mother will take you to the residence of the Minister of War to find Monk Shenxiu. He is a true disciple of the Galan Temple, has a profound understanding of Buddhism, and is also quite knowledgeable in the art of medicine."

"I heard that he once cured a king of a Western country of a strange poison. I think he might have some ideas."

Gu Fangchen shook his head firmly and said:
"No! Mom, those bald donkeys can only preach big principles, but they can't cure any diseases at all!"

His eyes flickered and he whispered:
"Mother, I heard that Princess Prajna of the Tara Sect secretly visited the Heavenly Emperor and is now in the White Horse Temple outside the city."

Ning Caiyong was stunned. Princess Prajna had secretly arrived in heaven?
She doesn’t know, why would Chen’er know?

Gu Fangchen continued to talk to himself:

"Is there any medical skill in this world that can compare to the magical powers of Tara's attendant Xiyin?"

Ning Caiyong was speechless.

This is indeed true, but it is a pity that the Tara sect will not take action for a prince.

What's more...it's still fake now.

"it is good."

Ning Caiyong gently touched Gu Fangchen's hair.

"Mom will take you there."

It’s better to stay out of the spotlight first.

……

As Ning Caiyong helped Gu Fangchen out of the door, he looked at the priest who had set up the ban before and shook his head.

She ordered:

"There is no room for hypocrites in the palace. You have accepted the punishment and can leave on your own."

The worshipper knelt on the ground, his face ashen.

The princess was kind-hearted and spared his life.

But if this act of betrayal were to get out, how would he be able to make a living?
Without the protection of the palace, his former enemies would surely come to bite him like flies vying for his blood.

Knowing that he could not escape death, he racked his brains but could not figure out why the restrictions he had set suddenly changed!
He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Gu Fangchen with a vicious look in his eyes.

"You should..."

Before the offering was finished, Granny Cui suddenly appeared and picked up his head.

Only the body was left falling forward.

Ning Caiyong turned his head reluctantly and sighed softly.

She took Gu Fangchen's hand, ordered someone to find the eldest princess to handle the funeral, and then walked out of the palace.

……

Silence soon returned to Xiefang Courtyard, with only the servants cleaning up the bloodstains in an orderly manner.

And in Gu Fangchen's messy bedroom.

A woman in plain clothes, who looked seven points like Ning Caiyong, but more graceful and charming, was walking lightly, her eyes slowly sweeping over all the furnishings in the room.

There was a clear light in her eyes and her expression was cold and disgusted, as if even being in Gu Fangchen's bedroom was a great humiliation.

It was Gu Fangchen’s original sister, the eldest princess of the royal palace - Gu Youren.

She is a teacher at Yaoshan Academy. Although she is young, she is already a Shinto master in Dianxue Realm and is famous throughout the world.

He was praised by saints as "the elegance of the ages is still here, and his talent occupies three hundred states."

Gu Youren's gaze suddenly paused.

She stretched out her hand and all the pearl powder scattered on the ground floated up.

The blood on it had dried, staining the pearl powder brown.

Gu Youren's mind moved, and a trace of light blue light flashed away and returned to dim.

Powder fell down.

Her eyebrows jumped and she murmured softly:
"The fourth-grade Huilan Formation... When did a formation master arrive in Huangtian City?"
