The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 518

Chapter 518

Facing Yuan Minggangs sharp knife-like eyes, Lord Chengen pretended to be calm as he asked him. Commander Yuan, you have so much courage for you to dare and make these people attack me!

This is new evidence that I have obtained and yet you are forcefully seizing it! Lord Chengen held his neck high and met Yuan Minggangs eyes, looking imposing on the outside but already quivering on the inside.

If there is such evidence, it is better for Lord Chengen to go to the emperor and talk about it. Yuan Minggang shook the account book in his hand with a half-smile. I am also acting according to the order.

His last sentence appears to be profound.

Lord Chengen: .

Lord Chengens eyes were constantly changing from bright to dark, as his heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was not right.

Yuan Minggang made another gesture and ordered, Take the Second Prince with you!

Thus, two more royal guards approached Gu Jing with a sneer and said, Your Highness, the Second Prince, do not let us harm Your Highness. Please let us escort you!

Gu Jing held himself and did not retreat but his mind was in chaos.

Lord Chengens face turned pale, at this point, he also figured it out and silently said three words to Gu Jing. Weve been tricked!

Gu Jing: !!!

Okay, Ill go with you to meet the Imperial Father. Gu Jing shook his sleeves and walked out of the elegant seat first, his heart far from showing the calmness he showed.

There was a lot of commotion outside the private room; the tea patrons either hurriedly paid their bills and left, or looked around curiously. Even outside the restaurant, many passersby gather to watch.

Gu Jing and Lord Chengen were escorted onto the carriage.

The carriage, escorted by a group of royal guards, drove towards the palace. Along the way, everyone avoided it for fear of hindering an official business. So, the usual journey, which required two sticks of incense, took only one stick of incense to arrive.

Gu Jing and Lord Chengen were escorted by Yuan Minggang and several imperial guards to the Imperial Library, where not only the emperor was present, but also several cabinet ministers, Gu Zezhi, and several important officials. They had been waiting for them for a long time.

Everyones gaze fell on Gu Jing and Lord Chengen, with different expressions, most of them carrying a condescending pity.

Gu Zezhi stood leisurely as he glanced at the two of them lightly. In his warm and gentle expressions, as usual, no one could even tell what he was thinking.

Your Majesty, Lord Chengen and His Highness the Second Prince have arrived. The first person to speak out was Yuan Minggang.

At the same time, Gu Jing and Lord Chengen bowed to the emperor awkwardly.

However, the emperor behind the table did not let two of them raise their heads, as his sharp gaze was directed at Lord Chengen, his eyes as deep as the boundless sea.

Lord Chengen had long felt something was wrong, the way everyone was looking at them including the emperor, confirmed his guess, and this made his heart gradually sink.

He preemptively said, Your Majesty, I have found new evidence about Lord Weis collusion with Wang Yu. I was about to present it to the Emperor, but it was just taken away by Commander Yuan. He did not give up and tried to fight death.

Gu Zezhis lips slightly curled up as he looked out the window.
