Chapter 843: To Kill Someone, One Must First Destroy Their Will

Even if Gu Yihan didn’t want his daughter to hear him shouting and shouting,

However, the child still heard it.

Gu Nuo’er quickly waved her small hand. “Father, wait!”

She curled her finger, indicating for Gu Yihan to lower his head.

Gu Yihan pressed his ear close to her.

The child said softly, “Father, killing him just like that is really letting this baddie off too easily.”

Gu Yihan immediately raised his eyebrows. The cunningness of the Gu Family lingered in the father and daughter’s somewhat similar eyes again.

“What does Nuo’er want?”

Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft as she said in a low voice, “Nuo’er wants to seek justice for Imperial Grandmother. Therefore, the n*ked prince has to live to see how Grand Consort Yu is exposed.

“Father, why don’t you strip his authority as a prince this time and punish him by grounding him in Zhuyou Palace? Then, let Grand Consort Yu go to the

Buddhist temple to copy sutras and recite them a hundred times for Imperial Grandmother!”

The child said softly, “Grand Chancellor Uncle Ye said that to kill someone, one must first destroy their will before the other party can die completely.

“In the past, Grand Consort Yu bullied Imperial Grandmother. Now, if she wants her son to live, she has to copy sutras for Imperial Grandmother!

“As for when the sentence will be handed down, Father doesn’t have to be in a hurry. When Nuo’er gathers the evidence from back then, there will naturally be a chance to bring this family of baddies to justice!”

Gu Yihan was stunned at first.

His daughter was only six years old.

Why would she think of clearing the former Empress’s name?

However, the child had always had her own ideas.

Gu Yihan saw that her black eyes were flickering with a bright luster, her eyelashes were long, and she looked very obedient.

He immediately nodded.

Gu Yihan looked up at Prince Guang, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.

He had long cried until his face was distorted and he kept kowtowing.

Prince Guang shouted, “Imperial Brother, I was blinded and casually picked up this key. I thought that the little princess had thrown it away, but I didn’t know that it was fake!”

Gu Nuo’er pouted and snorted.

At this point, he was still trying to find excuses.

Gu Yihan’s voice was cold. “You still want to lie? If I go to interrogate the people around you now, do you believe that I’ll definitely find traces of this fake? At that time, there’ll be irrefutable evidence. Do you still dare to say anything more?”

He hit Prince Guang’s guilty conscience.

Gu Yihan was right.

Grand Consort Yu arranged for a little palace maid to forge this private treasury key.

The palace servants in the palace’s library knew the books they had borrowed before.

The craftsman in charge of forging the key outside the palace knew the blueprint.

If Gu Yihan wanted to investigate, there were traces everywhere that couldn’t be hidden!

At this moment, Prince Guang was really regretful.

He shouldn’t have listened to his mother’s bewitchment.

She said that His Majesty would definitely reward him for taking out the key to the private treasury in front of all the officials.

It would also cause the image of the little princess to plummet in the hearts of the officials.

Look at the situation now!

It was simply him who had been slapped in the face!

This time, he was really too careless.

There was no turning back after the arrow was fired. An irreparable mistake had been caused.

Gu Yihan frowned and said in disgust, “On account that we were once brothers,

I can choose not to sentence you to death.

“However, even if you can escape death, you can’t escape punishment! Someone, pass down my decree. Today, Prince Guang intends to frame and slander the princess. He even secretly imitated the key to the private treasury. His crime is doubled!

“From today onwards, his position as a prince will be stripped and his fief will be taken back. His son can no longer be called a prince heir. His daughter can no longer be called a commandery princess!”

Prince Guang’s eyes widened. “Imperial Brother… Imperial Brother! I know my mistake.”

However, his bitter pleas were useless.

Gu Yihan smiled coldly. “I’m already being exceptionally lenient by still keeping the position of Grand Consort Yu. Men! Drag him out and ground him in

Zhuyou Palace. He can’t leave without being summoned..”
