Chapter 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: “....”

Imperial Consort Fang was leaning her body against the wall while breathing heavily.

“Hoo... hoo...”

As he said this, Gu Zezhi casually pushed open a window, looked in the direction of the east side hall, and assessed the intensity of the fire.

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.
