The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
Chapter 513

Chapter 513

Gu Jing’s whole body tensed up as he tightly squeezed the wine cup in his hand and the pupils in his eyes were like a bottomless abyss, and even the air within this elegant private room was grim.

Anyway, he now has nothing; his only request was the throne.

Once he became one, he would reign over the world.

By then, what does he want that he could not have!?

At that time, those who had once wronged him would all kneel humbly at his feet and beg for mercy!

“Grandfather, you will help me, won’t you?” Gu Jing’s eyes lit up with a brilliant expression, and his whole body exuded a pressing determination as if seeing the day he ascended to the throne.

“…” Lord Chengen’s eyes darkened, and of course, he was also anxious. He also wanted to help Gu Jing ascend to the throne.

After all, the emperor was about to decree the Sixth Prince as the Crown Prince, and if he missed this time, Gu Jing would have had no chance at the throne, and then all the effort he had invested in Gu Jing over the years would have been in vain!

Lord Chengen rubbed his brow and said, in a deep voice, “Second Prince, you also know the emperor’s temperament. He cannot depose the empress and punish the Wei family just because of these few letters.”

Not to mention ……

Lord Chengen tilted his head, drank the contents of his cup in a single gulp, and concealed the unspoken words.

Thinking that if they forced the emperor to abolish the empress, it was not enough for them to have just a few courtiers. However, because of Gu Jing’s successive defeats before, many courtiers resembled wallflowers and began to wait and see. Now there were not many people that Lord Chengen could use.

Lord Chengen sighed and helplessly said. “Now, we can only take one step at a time.” Do their best and follow their fate. At this point, Lord Chengen felt that the possibility of this matter being possible was less than 30%.

Gu Jing’s eyes flickered, and he took a red lacquer wooden carved flower box from beside him. He opened the box and said, “Grandfather, if there aren’t enough letters, how about adding an account book?”

Lord Chengen widened his eyes slightly and looked at the blue ledger in the box, his heart racing, as he said. “The ledger? Second Prince, where did you get the ledger?”

Gu Jing curled her lips and pushed the box containing the account book to Lord Chengen, calmly saying, “This was brought by Tang Fengchun yesterday, so I specially arranged for Grandfather to meet here today.”

“As long as Wei Xiushi’s accusation of colluding with Wang Yu is confirmed, even the emperor can no longer shield the empress.”

“Isn’t Minister Feng a member of grandfather? Why not let him take this evidence and hit a pillar in the Jinluan Palace?”

“Grandfather, since we are already whitewashing, then we can just push harder.”

Gu Jing’s gaze was fixed on Lord Chengen like that of a wild beast, staring at its prey. His words not only urged Lord Chengen to pressure the emperor but also forced Lord Chengen.

Lord Chengen was still looking at the account book. Under his seemingly calm eyes, many emotions flashed, including hesitation, struggle, weighing pros and cons, and contemplation.
