Since ancient times, emperors had always been suspicious. Even if the current Emperor was an oddball, he would die one day.
If he died and his son succeeded to the throne, he would not be as easy to talk to.
The Gu family was a little special because of Grandpa Gu's identity. Moreover, there were so many transmigrators in the Gu family. Who knew what kind of people would be in the position of the Gu family in the future?
If they were alive, it would still be fine. But if they were not around, what would happen to their descendants?
Cai Xiaolian didn't want her descendants to be remembered by others.
In fact, Gu shouxin had rebelled. If he were to abdicate the Emperor and take over the throne, then their family would have a guarantee of survival.
However, this would inevitably lead to brothers killing each other. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne had been through the blood of countless people.
