Failed to Conquer, Returned to Modern Times; The Tyrant Repents and Begs for Reunion

After failing to conquer the emperor, the system punished me by making me broadcast modern life to ancient people.

The man I personally helped ascend the throne became furious when he saw me ...

Chapter 237 Counterattack

"It's just that the Prime Minister said there is a problem that needs to be solved by you."

"The palace is heavily guarded, and it's very difficult to send someone in. I want you to come up with a legitimate solution."

Gu Sang nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way."

With modern makeup techniques, it is not difficult to make the person look 80% or 90% similar.

But the difficulty lies in how to conceal it.

Pei Changying deceived him with a fake grandmother, so Gu Sang used the fake grandmother to kill him back!

In the evening, Gu Sang told this matter to Grandma Gu, who sighed softly.

"Sangsang, if possible, can you save her? I've noticed recently that with Pei Changying's personality, he probably won't tolerate being deceived by outsiders."

"Even if she volunteered, I still feel bad."

Gu Sang nodded and said knowingly, "Grandma, don't worry, I will think of a way out."

"The most important thing now is that you leave here. Only when you are safe can I arrange the next things. I came here just to get Pei Changying off the throne!"

Grandma Gu sighed and stopped talking.

Precisely because Grandma Gu knew this, she was unwilling to lag behind.

Suddenly.

Grandma Gu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Sangsang, have you ever live-streamed our modern wedding ceremony?"

"No, grandma, what did you think of?" Gu Sang replied.

"Then when the emperor comes tomorrow, tell him that our modern wedding ceremony requires the invitation of fifty happily married couples to offer their blessings."

"This is a good omen, hoping that the newlyweds can grow old together and love each other as much as they did."

Gu Sang was feeling sad about how to send the old man in when he suddenly heard his grandmother's idea.

Gu Sanglian thought about it for a while and felt that there was a chance: "Okay, that's a good idea."

"But grandma, you can bring it up. He knows I won't agree to it."

Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to various meanings.

For example, anniversary gifts, marriages that require horoscopes, etc.

The sudden request does not seem out of place in this era.

The next day.

When Pei Changying came again, Grandma Gu brought up the etiquette of later generations.

Pei Changying thought doubtfully for a while, and when he saw Gu Sang's frosty face and Grandma Gu's helpless expression, he nodded in agreement.

As long as Gu Sang is willing to marry him, he will try his best to satisfy any request Gu Sang makes.

As long as they are carefully investigated, there is absolutely no way that Gu Sang and Grandma Gu could escape from the palace.

Pei Changying announced this during the court session and ordered the ministers to find fifty loving couples for him within ten days.

Pei Changying was suspicious by nature, so naturally he was unwilling to entrust the important task of checking identities to these civil and military ministers.

His eyes glanced forward and fixed on the Prime Minister.

He could no longer tell who in the court was loyal and who was on the princess' side.

Now he only trusts the prime minister who is dedicated to giving him advice and maintaining peace in the country.

Only the prime minister was always loyal to him.

"Prime Minister, you must thoroughly investigate the identities of these fifty loving, elderly couples!"

"Don't let any suspicious people into the palace!"

"I only trust you!"

The Prime Minister stepped forward and replied calmly, "I obey your command!"

Time flies, and ten days are soon up.

Under the leadership of the prime minister, fifty pairs of elderly couples from the public entered the palace, then entered the room and gave Gu Sang their wedding blessings.

Watching these people entering and leaving Xuyang Palace freely, Pei Changying's brows twitched, as if he had overlooked something.

His intuition told him that something must be wrong.

However, when he wanted to step in and stare at Gu Sang, the prime minister stopped Pei Changying.

"Your Majesty, this is a custom of blessing and cannot be interrupted."

"Please return to your bedroom. As the groom, you will also receive their blessings later."

Pei Changying sized up the Prime Minister's expression and patted him on the shoulder solemnly, "Prime Minister, please help me keep a close eye on him!"

"Don't give bad guys an opportunity to take advantage."

The Prime Minister replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will stay here with you every step of the way."

Only after hearing the prime minister's assurance did Pei Changying leave with peace of mind.

After Gu Sang and Pei Changying accepted the blessings of fifty couples respectively, and then the prime minister personally checked everyone's identity, the prime minister led his people out of the palace.

That sense of uneasiness had been lingering in Pei Changying's heart. Feeling uneasy, Pei Changying personally ran to Xuyang Palace to confirm that Gu Sang and Grandma Gu were there, and only then did he leave with peace of mind.

The next day, the aunt from the imperial kitchen brought a message to Gu Sang.

"Grandma Gu has been sent out of the capital and met the eldest princess on the way."

"The Princess has ordered General Zhou to personally escort Grandma to the army's encampment."

"The princess has brought along a group of assassins. With the help of the prime minister, they have already entered the capital and are ready to come to the palace to rescue us at any time."

Hearing that his grandmother had been taken away by Zhou Qichen, Gu Sang felt completely relieved.

Once grandma leaves, she can move freely!

Gu Sang even thought about taking out his weapon and killing Pei Changying.

If Pei Changying was killed directly, she would probably be killed by the guards and would have no chance to leave the palace and reunite with her grandmother. It's not worth it!

She wouldn't be so stupid as to trade one life for another.

"You let them wait first. This time we must find an opportunity to make sure Pei Changying can never get up again!"

Gu Sang asked the aunt from the imperial kitchen to pass on the message.

In the plan of Gu Sang and the Prime Minister, they had intended to take advantage of Pei Changying's wedding to have the princess lead troops to rescue him, and with the help of the Prime Minister, they would join forces from both inside and outside.

Gu Sang quickly used the electromagnetic cannon to threaten Pei Changying to withdraw his defense, allowing the princess's army to enter the capital and quickly surround the palace.

But what Gu Sang didn't expect was that on the eve of the wedding, she actually met Gu Qingrou.

Gu Qingrou disguised herself as a palace maid and came to give her the queen's wedding dress: "Your Majesty, the wedding dress is here."

Gu Sang was sitting in front of the dressing table thinking about tomorrow's actions, and rehearsing it several times in his mind to make sure there were no loopholes.

Gu Qingrou saw that Gu Sang was distracted, so she tiptoed behind Gu Sang, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she took out a dagger and wanted to stab Gu Sang to death.

Gu Sang!

Really back!

But she clearly said that she would never come back!

Why are you still competing with me!

“Wow—”

It happened in the blink of an eye, before Gu Qingrou's knife touched Gu Sang's shoulder.

Gu Sang quickly came to his senses, grabbed with his right hand and pulled forward. Gu Qingrou's body hit the dressing table uncontrollably, and she was in so much pain that she almost cried.

Gu Sang took away the dagger and pressed it against Gu Qingrou's neck.

"Is it you?"

When he saw Gu Qingrou's face, Gu Sang showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and kicked her away.

Gu Qingrou fell to the ground.

She rubbed her shoulders, as if she had foreseen this outcome, and said with a wry smile, "Gu Sang, long time no see."
