If! If she also lived in modern times...

Is it possible that I can't compete with so many other women for Pei Changying? Is it possible that we can be together forever...

Compared to the yearning and envy of the concubines in the deep palace, the ministers in the hall on the other side had sullen faces and said nothing.

Especially the men led by Pei Changying felt unprecedentedly provoked.

"Shut up!"

Pei Changying's face was filled with rage: "Gu Sang, stop spreading lies and misleading the people!"

"It's people like you who lead women astray, disregarding all propriety, righteousness, and shame!"

"What about freedom of marriage? What about parents not being able to forcibly interfere with their children's freedom? To say such things is treasonous, disloyal and unfilial."

"The blood that flows in your body belongs to your parents. Your life was given by your parents. You must repay them with your life."

As soon as these words were spoken.

There was struggle in the eyes of those wavering palace maids.

Parents! Filial piety! It was a huge mountain that weighed on everyone in ancient times!

After hearing this, Gu Sang retorted, "Only truth and justice can make people sober. If my words weren't correct, how could they make you reflect on yourself?!"

"My parents raised me when I was young, and I will take care of them when they are old. This is filial piety."

"Filial piety is not about blindly following others, nor is it about abandoning happiness and freedom, fulfilling your parents' wishes, and putting yourself at the expense of others!"

"Besides, our parents here are not like yours, who claim to love their daughters but actually force them to marry the rich and powerful as concubines."

"True love is about fulfillment, not coercion, and certainly not demanding! Only incompetent people rely on their daughters marrying off to change their fate."

boom--

What a shocking statement.

Are they crazy? Are they possessed by demons? Why would a few words shake the faith they've held for more than a decade or two?

They actually thought Gu Sang was right...

Love is fulfillment.

It’s not about forcing daughters to marry the powerful, nor is it about forcing them to marry someone they don’t love!

For a moment, those ministers who had married their daughters to powerful families all lowered their eyes with averted eyes, and they were so angry that they couldn't even find the words to refute.

“Report!!!”

It was at this moment!

A hurried voice came running in from outside the hall.

Before the person arrived, a voice was heard: "Your Majesty, hurry up."

Everyone was attracted by the sound.

The arrogant Pei Changying took the memorial handed to him and took a look at it. He must have seen some report that made him extremely unhappy, and his eyes were full of hostility.

"The drought has only just ended, and now you're telling me there's a plague. Why didn't you execute them and cremate their bodies when the first outbreaks occurred?"

"We have to wait until the plague spreads before reporting it!"

"Ministry of Personnel, immediately issue my decree; all officials who knew about the incident but failed to act will be imprisoned."

The prime minister reacted.

He immediately stood up and spoke in the officials' favor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Now we should deal with the plague first."

"After the flood, livestock and corpses were everywhere, and the people had nowhere to stay. They were in a state of panic. This situation cannot be easily suppressed."

"In my opinion...it would be better to let them redeem themselves from their crimes and summon all the doctors in the world to deal with the plague."

Plague?!

This news reached Gu Sang's ears very well.

Although she is not a saint, she needs merit to save grandma and bring her home.

If we can save the people of every city, it will be a great merit!

Thinking of this, Gu Sang hurriedly asked, "What are the symptoms of the disease?"

“How many days is the infection period?”

"Pei Changying, you can try the epidemic prescription I told you before and see if it works. If you can't figure it out, tell me the symptoms of the patient and I'll ask the doctor."

"By the way, you must pay attention to the quarantine. The water in the several villages near the plague cannot be used anymore. It must be boiled—"

But!

Gu Sang hadn't finished her words of advice.

Pei Changying interrupted him coldly: "There's no need for a seducer like you to worry about this. I have a city full of civil and military officials, so I'll naturally find a way."

"I won't use your recipes!"

Pei Changying spoke word by word and said that he did not know how to use modern prescriptions.

Judging from the Imperial Concubine's sullen expression, I'm afraid the modern medicine is very effective...

Half of the ministers in the court were extremely anxious.

They all knelt down before Pei Changying and pleaded with him, "Your Majesty, I have seen the people in your world and they have rosy complexions. They must be free of disease and pain."

"Your Majesty, please prioritize the lives of the people. If the prescription given by the Imperial Concubine is useful, please immediately send someone to the disaster relief department with the prescription to cure the plague."

"Yes, Your Majesty, time waits for no one, hurry..."

Pei Changying: "Shut up!"

This extremely noble emperor, relying on his power, flatly refused, his face gloomy and uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No one is allowed to use Gu Sang's prescription!"

"I don't believe that we must use the medicine from her world to control the plague!"

"Gu Sang, if you really want to save those people, you should take the initiative to come back and admit your mistake. Otherwise, the people of the world will lose their lives because of your willfulness!"

When these words fell, the whole world seemed to be quiet...

The worry and anxiety on Gu Sang's face suddenly disappeared.

She stared at the distinguished face reflected on the screen with horror, disbelief, and disgust deep in her bones.

What is Pei Changying talking about?

Not allowed to use?

He had a prescription to treat the people but he didn't use it. Instead, he angrily shouted at her to go back and admit her mistake. Only after he calmed down, would he use modern prescriptions to treat the people?

And...what else, should I blame it on her willfulness?

This disgusting behavior is as ridiculous as the words used by some men in the news who abused children and posted them online, then scolded the children's mothers for running away.

Using someone else's life to force her to go back and admit her mistake?

"Heh." Gu Sang sneered at Pei Changying. She had previously thought that he was cruel and ruthless, but now it seems that she was wrong. He is simply not a human being.

She looked at Pei Changying with an extremely disgusted look and shook her head: "It's ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!"

"Pei Changying, it wasn't until today that I realized what kind of person you are. You've truly broken my understanding of you and my bottom line time and time again."

"Are you worthy of being the ruler of this country?"

"A selfish person like you is worthy of being honored as the emperor?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you anything anymore. I just think you're incredibly disgusting! This country and these people will perish sooner or later if they fall into your hands!"

Snap——

Gu Sang turned off the live broadcast with a cold heart.

An hour ago, she thought Pei Changying was just selfish and conceited.

But she didn't expect that Pei Changying didn't even care about the lives of the people and used this to threaten her to go back and admit her mistake?

Such a stupid emperor!

What are you still keeping it for?!
