Chapter 236 Gu Anxian Is Heartbroken

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"Let him come in." Emperor Zhaocheng said with an angry look on his face, "Come in and take his daughter back and discipline him well!"

Prime Minister Gu stood outside and heard the emperor's angry voice. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly entered the palace to salute: "Old minister, see you, your emperor. Long live my emperor!"

"Prime Minister!" Emperor Zhaocheng's voice was cold, "I have agreed to let Prince Yu's Palace divorce your daughter Gu Anxian. You, the Prime Minister, will not have to go to court starting tomorrow. I order you to suspend your duties at home for three months and educate your daughter before you come back. "

Prime Minister Gu's expression changed greatly, he raised his head and begged: "Your Majesty, An Xian's marriage was personally granted by the Emperor. How can you just break off the marriage? Your Majesty, please—"

Emperor Zhaocheng interrupted him coldly: "Your daughter is noble and disdainful of the marriage given by my emperor. She disrespects her parents-in-law and does not serve her husband. Even the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess did not pay attention to the tea served today. I It’s really an eye-opener!”

Prime Minister Gu turned his head and looked at his daughter who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word. His voice was deep and angry: "An Xian, what is going on?"

Gu Anxian lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Prime Minister Gu has a high position, and the direct daughter of the Gu family naturally has eyes higher than her head. How can an ordinary person get into her eyes?" Jiang Yi smiled casually, "Yan Li is the Princess of Nanyang personally named by the Emperor of the Mu Kingdom. She is the principal son of our Jin Kingdom. Isn’t the golden branches and jade leaves of the Eight Classics more than worthy of your Ninth Prince? Miss Gu is unwilling to even call her Ninth Emperor. Is it because she doesn’t want to admit Yan Li’s identity or her own identity?”

The words were obviously without any anger, but they made Prime Minister Gu shudder, and naturally he quickly understood the whole story.

He looked cold and angry as he stared at Gu Anxian: "Anxian, please apologize to the emperor and serve tea to the ninth princess!"

He could hardly believe that his daughter, who had always been well-educated, gentle and noble, would become so unreasonable.

Is she crazy?

He is the prime minister, so he is certainly powerful.

But above the prime minister, there is also the emperor who can decide their life and death, and the ninth prince who holds military power.

The Gu family has not yet reached the point of being in power. If you are disrespectful in front of the emperor, your family will be confiscated and exterminated!

Things that don’t know whether to live or die!

Gu Anxian straightened up slightly and turned to look at Yan Li...oh, not at Yan Li.

Her eyes fell on Mu Cang's face that made her think about it day and night, and she couldn't help the emotion in her eyes.

Her elegant and refined face was pale and gloomy, looking so heart-wrenching... Ruo Mucang was a compassionate person, Ruo Mucang was a romantic and sentimental person, Ruo Mucang had an untimely pity.

At this time, they might even say something to comfort her, at least not giving her any wishful thinking.

However, the Ninth Prince, the God of War of the Mu Kingdom, has always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Except for the woman who has already lived in his heart for a long time, he will never take another look at other women, let alone feel pity and distress.

He held the tea cup and looked so dignified and calm while drinking tea with his eyes closed, so indifferent and irrelevant, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.

He didn't care what would happen to Gu Anxian, he didn't care if she was divorced or punished, or where she would go from here.

Even if Emperor Zhaocheng ordered her to be dragged out and beheaded now, Mu Cang would not frown and say something wrong.

Gu Anxian's heart felt like needles pricking her heart.

She has been in love with Mu Cang since she was a girl, until now.

She thought that in the vast Kyoto, she was the only one worthy of this noble and god-like man.

She was of noble birth and well-educated. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was knowledgeable and sensible, and had a gentle temperament. Everything she said and did met the standards of a lady.

But for him, she took the initiative to let go of her pride and reserve. She even knew that he had a cold temperament and was not good at women, so she took the initiative to ask her father to send someone to arrange marriage.

But he rejected her.

He rejected her without mercy.

Gu Anxian felt disappointed, but she was willing to wait until the day he saw her heal.

In the end, she became someone else's husband.

How could she be willing to swallow this breath?

"An Xian." Prime Minister Gu's voice was deep, "You will not be allowed to be presumptuous in front of the Emperor. If you make a wrong decision today, think about your mother and elder brother, they will be killed by you!"

The cold and threatening words brought Gu Anxian back from his meditation.

She lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness in them.

She did it on purpose today.

She fought for a chance in front of him at the cost of life and death just to let him see that she could become an enemy of everyone for him.

But he was indifferent, from beginning to end.

Gu Anxian was heartbroken.

She turned around and slowly leaned down to kowtow: "Gu, the daughter-in-law of Prince Yu, has been reckless today and has violated the rules of conduct before the emperor. I beg the emperor to punish her!"

Everyone fell silent.

Princess Yu and Mu Wenxuan looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.

This bitch is really sick!

The emperor had just allowed them to divorce his wife, and now she considers herself the daughter-in-law of Prince Yu. Isn't this mean?

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Gu apologized, "I am guilty and I am willing to be punished by the Emperor! I also ask the Emperor to give An Xian a chance to let the couple resolve these matters themselves."

Princess Yu squeezed the handkerchief tightly and began to make plans secretly.

Gu Anxian has lost the face of Prince Yu's Mansion today. Logically speaking, he can't have this daughter-in-law anymore, so he should divorce her and go home, and never set foot in Prince Yu's Mansion again!

But now the food and drink expenses of Prince Yu's Mansion are directed at Gu Anxian.

Which is more important, face or livelihood?

Princess Yu kept hesitating in her heart.

If Wenxuan could change, Prince Yu's Mansion wouldn't really be so tight on money. It's just that this damn kid spends money recklessly outside every day, causing the palace to be unable to make ends meet.

If Gu Anxian is divorced, she will take all her dowry back, and they will be in a tight spot again?

"Princess Yu." Emperor Zhaocheng's voice sounded, "What do you think?"

Princess Yu came back to her senses, looked at Emperor Zhaocheng, and then at Prime Minister Gu.

Face is important, but Prime Minister Gu holds real power, and it will not benefit them at all to break up with him.

Besides, Gu Anxian herself bowed her head.

She did such a shameful thing today, and Wenxuan will definitely teach her a lesson when she returns.

Princess Yu bowed her head respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will make the decision."

Emperor Zhaocheng showed annoyance on his face: "In that case, take your daughter-in-law back and discipline her properly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Yu accepted the order, "I know that I am embarrassed about what happened today. I really can't stay here any longer, so I will take my leave."

Emperor Zhaocheng waved his hand.

The Yu family took their daughter-in-law away, and Gu Anxian didn't say anything again, as if she silently accepted her fate.

As for serving tea.

Mu Cang and Yan Li didn't want to drink her cup of tea.

She dared to defend her ridiculous pride and self-esteem in front of so many people and even the emperor, so she would naturally get the lesson she deserved.

"Prime Minister Gu has failed to teach his daughter well, so he will be suspended from his post for three months and fined for half a year." Emperor Zhaocheng said coldly, "I hope the Prime Minister will take care of himself."
