Chapter 172 When he goes crazy, even his own father is afraid
"There's no need to be so polite, County Magistrate Gao. Please take a seat." Prince Huaiyang strode to the main seat and sat down.
County Magistrate Gao sat beside Concubine Gao trembling with fear.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue for him!
How is the prince going to deal with his daughter?
If the matter gets out of hand, it will definitely be reported to the emperor. Although the prince will not get any benefits, his son may also be implicated because of this matter!
This is a lose-lose situation.
Your Majesty wouldn't go this far, would he?
"Gao Yun, do you have anything else to say?" The prince asked Concubine Gao directly.
"Your Highness, I have something to say." Concubine Gao stood up and stared at the prince. "I want to ask you, have you ever thought about us, mother and son, in your heart for so many years!"
"You are my concubine, and Xiao Jincheng is my son. Tell me, do I have you in my heart? As long as they are my concubines and illegitimate sons in the harem, they are my responsibility!"
"Responsibility? Haha! What a responsibility!" Concubine Gao suddenly laughed sarcastically, "I don't believe a word your Highness said! Your Highness only has the princess and the prince in his heart, so how could he ever think of anyone else? Even my son's name was picked up from something Xiao Yan'an didn't want!"
When the princess heard this, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Didn't you insist on using the name Xiao Jincheng?" Prince Huaiyang asked back.
"Jincheng, what a good name, why can't my son use it? How is he inferior to Xiao Yan'an! For so many years, you ignored him and didn't value him. No matter what he did, you turned a blind eye! As his father, you just gave him a name!"
"If I really treated him as you said, I would not have given him this name! Instead, it made you and your son have thoughts that you shouldn't have! I originally thought that he would have a bright future! I never thought that the bright future you called was to seize the throne! How can you be so confident when you have such a rebellious thought?"
"In order to achieve your goal, you use all means possible, not only killing innocent lives, but also assassinating people! Gao Yun, you are extremely vicious!"
Faced with the rebuke from Prince Huaiyang, Concubine Gao showed no remorse.
Because, when she was willing to enter the palace to be a concubine, she had the intention of replacing the princess!
Later, the princess's methods made it impossible for her to do anything.
She only placed her hopes on her son.
For so many years, he had been keeping a low profile, watching Xiao Yan'an become more and more useless and less and less capable of being reused, but then Ji Chuhe showed up!
How could she not kick away this stumbling block that was blocking her way!
She only regretted that she was not as skilled as others and fell into Ji Chuhe's hands!
"I think you have no remorse at all!" Prince Huaiyang was full of disappointment.
"Your Highness, what crime are you sentencing me to? Murder, assassination, which one is not a capital crime?" After saying this, Concubine Gao revealed a hint of an arrogant smile.
Prince Huaiyang didn't expect that she would be so arrogant!
"My father is the governor of a city! My brother is the upstart in front of the emperor! Prince, what about you? You have lived cautiously for so many years, do you dare to start a war? Do you dare to gamble with the lives of your princess and your prince? If you offend the emperor and make him suspicious, it will bring disaster to your entire family. Hahaha."
Xiao Yan'an couldn't sit still anymore, and just when he was about to get up, Ji Chuhe grabbed his sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Concubine Gao's laughter was still echoing in the room.
County Magistrate Gao was sweating profusely on his back.
This crazy woman, she's going to drag everyone down with her!
"Your Highness!" County Magistrate Gao knelt down in fear. "Your Highness, please understand. There is one thing I have not told you the truth. In fact, Gao Yun's biological mother has some hidden brain disease. Concubine Gao also has the same brain disease as her mother. Once this disease breaks out, it is like going insane and losing all reason."
"The prince and princess must know what Concubine Gao was like in the past. She has only recently become crazy and is now completely different from before! This is all due to her illness."
Prince Huaiyang said nothing, his face looking terribly gloomy.
"Your Highness, I know that even madness cannot cover up the crime she committed! However, this matter is indeed not suitable for publicity. It is not good for the Prince's Mansion and the Gao Mansion! I am loyal to Your Highness and have no second thoughts! Those assassins, no, they are secret guards, have no other use except to protect the safety of the people in my mansion! Your Highness can investigate thoroughly. They have never done anything else that violates the law!"
"Your Highness, I am guilty! I failed to discipline my subordinates. They followed Gao Yun's orders and did something that was against the will of heaven and earth, and I was unaware of it! I am willing to accept your punishment!"
After County Magistrate Gao finished speaking, he knocked his head heavily to the ground.
"I'm not sick!" Concubine Gao shouted.
If she was sick, she would never be able to think of a response strategy that would put the future of the Gao family and the rise and fall of the palace on the scale!
As long as the prince touches her, the balance will definitely be broken!
Want her to die? Then everyone should be buried with her!
Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe looked at him, then turned to look at Prince Huaiyang and the Queen.
It seemed that it was not yet time for her to give it a push, so she decided to wait and see.
"County Magistrate Gao." Prince Huaiyang called out.
"I'm here!" County Magistrate Gao replied in a sonorous and powerful voice without even raising his head, as if he was ready to be punished.
"You said Gao Yun was insane. I'm sure you love your daughter so much that you want to take her back to the Gao Mansion to take care of her. Besides, you have taken care of her mother before, so you have more experience." Prince Huaiyang's tone softened a little.
County Magistrate Gao looked up in disbelief.
Is the prince really not going to pursue the matter?
Is this, is there room for easing?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am very good at taking care of the lunatics!" County Magistrate Gao immediately expressed his opinion.
"This vicious woman, I will sever all ties with her. Today, I will write a letter of divorce. From now on, she is no longer a concubine in the palace. County Magistrate Gao, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand! I understand! Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take good care of my daughter and will never let her cause any trouble again!"
Gao Yun was a little confused.
How could this be the result?
She was divorced?
Do you want to send her back to her parents' home?
"I won't go back to the Gao family!"
County Magistrate Gao had no right to make the decision for her, this was already the best outcome!
He stood up and hit Gao Yun hard on the neck.
Gao Yun was about to go crazy, but suddenly her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
"Your Majesty, I will take her back to the Gao Mansion right away."
"Keep him well!" Prince Huaiyang gave another instruction.
"Yes!" County Magistrate Gao dragged Concubine Gao away with great effort.
Prince Huaiyang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he waved his hand, and immediately two servants came forward to help.
Xiao Yan'an knew that this might be the final result.
But he felt that things shouldn't be like this.
But it's the only way.
"Princess, you go back first. I'll go to Xiao Jincheng's yard and have a chat with him." After saying this, Prince Huaiyang sighed.
"Okay." The princess nodded in agreement and turned to look at Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, "He'er, An'er, you should go down and rest as well."
"Yes." The two answered in unison.
After leaving the front hall, the two walked towards the Liuhua Palace.
"Madam, this result is not satisfactory. It was because of your cleverness that you escaped, but you were unable to hold Concubine Gao accountable." Xiao Yan'an's tone was tinged with disappointment.
"Sir, in this world, how can you get what you want? So, there is no need to be obsessed with many things."
Xiao Yanan seemed to be thinking about something.
He wanted to comfort her, fearing that she would feel aggrieved, but he didn't expect that she would counsel him instead.
Whatever, she is always calmer than him.
"Sir, now that the matter has been settled, Xu Gui will only die, but what about Concubine Xu?"
These words made Xiao Yan'an's face change drastically.
