NovelEnglishChapter 466
Imperial Consort Fang’s pupils shrank and her lips turned pale. For a moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and the next moment, she felt that she was being put on fire.
Her throat felt even drier, and it took several attempts before she could make a sound. “Your Majesty, this consort is your mother consort.”
A consort was also a mother! If the emperor was unfilial, was he not afraid of the world questioning him?
“Yongle is Wang Yu’s elder sister!” The emperor said this word for word. Wang Yu and Imperial Consort Fang did not care about blood relatives in the slightest and yet they wanted to put a high hat on him.

Imperial Consort Fang was leaning her body against the wall while breathing heavily.
“Hoo… hoo…”
The air coming out of her mouth and nose was so hot that dense sweat seeped from her forehead and body, almost soaking her clothes.
She knew in her heart that it would be difficult for her to escape tonight, and this was making her afraid, but even so, she could not help but desperately defend herself. “It wasn’t Wang Yu who did it, it was Dong Ping…it was those people below who were negligent of Yongle.”
Negligent?! The emperor sneered and curled his lips.
If it were not for Wang Yu’s acquiescence and attitude, who would be so bold as to dare insult or bully a noble princess like this!
Imperial Consort Fang’s words were nothing more than an attempt to salvage the situation. She thought that he would endure them all his life and tolerate them!!
The emperor looked at Imperial Consort Fang with a cold expression and his pupils darkened as he nodded and chillingly said. “Yes, Yongle’s death was not because of seventh imperial brother.”
“And this is not my doing either. I did not order you to be killed, nor did I order anyone to set this palace on fire.”
“It was your good grandson who ordered the fire, who arranged this ‘self-immolation’.”
“Imperial Consort, just enjoy the filial piety of your son and your grandson.”

Almost the entire east-side hall was ablaze, with a raging fire staining a large area of the sky to red, and the flames were about to reach the main entrance of the hall.
Gu Zezhi immediately closed the window again and said his first words since arriving at Tai’an Palace, “Your Majesty, we can leave.”
Gu Zezhi did not even glance at Imperial Consort Fang as if she did not exist at all.
The emperor then stood up, casually dusting off his sapphire blue robe, and when his gaze met Gu Zhi, there was more than a little warmth as he said, “Zezhi, let’s go.”
Someone had set a fire here, and as the emperor, he should not have come in person; however, the emperor hated Wang Yu and Imperial Consort Fang so much that he wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he came.
The emperor left the palace incognito with Gu Zezhi and did not bring anyone else with him, to avoid being discovered by Gu Xi’s people and prevent his plans from failing.
At this moment, in the vast Tai’an Palace, apart from the emperor and Gu Zezhi, there was no one else. These palace members have long been secretly subdued by Gu Zezhi.
