Chapter 472

On their trip from Yuzhuo to the capital, they were very careful not to let this substitute show her face in front of other accompanying people besides the siblings who knew her appearance to ensure that the plan was foolproof.

The servants in the tent looked at each other confused. If this person was not an Imperial Consort Fang, who could it be?

“Third brother.” County Princess Duan Rou tugged Gu Xi’s sleeves, her mind confused. “Why is the substitute here?”

They arranged for a few close confidants around their grandmother, who would put her into the hidden compartment of the cart and then take her out of the palace. The lives of the family members of these confidants were in the hands of their father; therefore, they would never betray Wang Yu.

Gu Xi’s eyes looked sinister and said nothing.

That’s right, logically speaking, this substitute should die in Jiuqi Garden instead of his grandmother.

If the substitute was here, what about his grandmother?

Not good!

Gu Xi took a deep breath before he violently heaved a breath to calm himself a little and then said with great difficulty. “We’ve been tricked by the emperor.”

“The emperor must have known that we were going to switch grandmother, so he secretly switched them back.”

“Now...the person being burned to death in the palace...is grandmother!”

Gu Xi spoke slowly as if saying these words had exhausted his strength. His eyes were red and looked ferocious, looking like evil spirits crawling out of hell; the noble and elegant young master was nowhere to be seen.

He still could not believe that he was being plotted like this, and that he had been targeted for a long time without him realizing.

When the two guards in black heard this, they were so frightened that they sweated profusely as they lowered their heads even lower. If this was the case, then doesn’t this also mean that they burned the imperial consort with their own hands?

County Princess Duan Rou: “!!!”

Anger surged on County Princess Duan Rou’s pretty face, and with the gritted teeth she said. “Too despicable! Underhanded, shameless, and ruthless!”

After cursing, County Princess Duan Rou was flustered, as she asked. “Third Brother, then what should we do now?”
