The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 517

Although Gu Jing did not know why Lord Chengen suddenly asked this question, he still answered truthfully, “I saw that Imperial Grandmother was in a good mood at first, but then, for some reason, she suddenly took offense to Mother Consort and chastised her and punished her by kneeling outside the temple for an hour.”

Lord Chengen: “……”

Lord Chengen’s expressions became increasingly grave, and a possibility surfaced in his mind: Could it be that the one who died in Tai’an Palace was the real Imperial Consort Fang?

If this was the case, Lord Chengen suddenly felt that the account book in his hand was a bit hot.

“Grandfather…” Gu Jing felt that Lord Chengen’s face was a bit off and wanted to ask a question, but right at this moment, messy and hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside, and it seemed that a group of people were running this way.

The chamberlain guarding the door let out a nervous whisper, “Your Highness ……”

The sound ended abruptly, followed by a “bang” sound, and the door of the elegant private room was rudely kicked open from the outside.

Outside the door of the private room, Commander Yuan Minggang, the Head Royal Guard, appeared outside the room with a few royal guards, each with a dignified and imposing face.

Gu Jing and Lord Chengen’s faces changed equally, almost standing up at the same time. Lord Chengen’s bulging belly accidentally hit the table, causing wine glass to roll off the table and shatter on the floor.

The liquor and broken porcelain splattered everywhere, creating a mess.

However, Lord Chengen no longer cared about these details and was uncertain. How could the Royal Guards come here?!

Yuan Minggang walked in with a smile on his face, casually arched his hand at Lord Chengen, and said in a cold voice, “Lord Chengen, the emperor has summoned Lord Chengen into the palace for a visit.”

Lord Chengen immediately felt that the account book in his hand seemed to be wrapped in a hot charcoal.

“Commander Yuan, this lord was drinking wine and is not well groomed, it is not appropriate to enter the palace to meet the emperor.” Lord Chengen tried to find an excuse to shrug it off. “Why don’t you let me go back to my home to finish my sobering-up soup and change my clothes before entering the palace.”

How could Yuan Minggang be fooled by Lord Chengen’s few words, he doesn’t even bother to talk nonsense with the other party, casually lifting his hand and making a gesture, “Take him away!”

“Lord Chengen, I have offended you!” The two royal guards immediately approached the person and were not polite at all. They not only took the person but also took the account book from Lord Chengen’s hands and presented it to Yuan Minggang.
