Qi Heng recognized Qiu Yan at a glance.

If she hadn't blocked the city gate, he would have escaped that day.

Seeing Qiu Yan and Gu Qian standing shoulder to shoulder, he concealed the hatred in his heart, and smiled faintly.

"I knew it! Whose young master could be so handsome? Turns out, he's a beauty."

Qiu Yan, whose identity has been exposed, appears calm on the surface, but is inwardly furious.

Does the Crown Prince of Northern Qi want his sister to have a ghost marriage with Gu Qian?

Gu Qian stepped forward and stood in front of Qiu Yan, blocking Qi Heng's view.

"Even if Qi Yuan were still alive, let alone dead, this general would still never marry her."

"Gu Qian, don't go too far."

If someone dies, what's wrong with giving them a proper status?

As long as I don't say anything, my father won't know about this.

At that time, the dowry will be provided in full.

Gu Qian sneered, "He Lin, you've certainly thought things through."

"A dowry? Qi Heng, do you think I, Gu Qian, am as stupid and ignorant as you? Your father's intentions are crystal clear."

"Gu Qian!"

Qi Heng's veins bulged.

His father had already abandoned him, and he, despite being so humble, was still rejected.

He softened his voice and moved closer to Gu Qian.

"If you agree to marry my younger sister, I will be your brother-in-law from now on."

"If you lend me a hand and help me become the ruler of Northern Qi, I am willing to lead all the officials of Northern Qi to bow down and submit to Dongjin, and from then on, I will willingly become a vassal state of Dongjin."

Qi Heng did this simply because he wanted to live a good life.

He didn't care about being careless.

His father had already given up on him, so naturally he had to find a way out for himself.

He believed that Qi Yuan's death wouldn't affect Gu Qian's affections for other women.

This deal couldn't be better for Gu Qian.

Qiu Yan didn't speak, she just smiled and looked at Gu Qian.

It has to be said that He Lin's plan was truly ingenious.

This saves a lot of trouble.

Her most ordinary smile sent a chill down Gu Qian's spine.

"Qi Heng, who gave you the audacity to do this?"

Qi Heng took a deep breath.

"My sister is a princess, otherwise, why would you take her as a concubine?"

Gu Qian: "If you dare to say another word, believe me, I'll make sure you never speak again for the rest of your life."

Qi Heng was furious. "Gu Qian, this is His Majesty's order."

He has already humbled himself so much.

“It was my idea.” At this moment, He Lin, who had returned, approached again.

His Majesty's arrival instantly silenced the surroundings.

Gu Qian remained blocking Qiu Yan's way. This man—didn't he just leave? Why is he back again?

He Lin glanced at Gu Qian, and finally his gaze fell on Qiu Yan behind him. She looked familiar, but he didn't recognize her.

Qiu Yan lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, trying her best to make herself invisible.

Qi Heng smiled smugly at Gu Qian, then looked at Qiu Yan with a smile.

"Gu Qian, you insist on refusing to marry my imperial sister, could it be because of her..."

Before Qi Heng could finish speaking, Gu Qian suddenly punched him in the face.

"Gu Qian!" Qi Heng gritted his teeth, his face contorted in pain.

Before they could catch their breath,

Another punch.

Gu Qian acted swiftly, and in an instant, Qi Heng was completely unrecognizable.

Qiu Yan: Well done!

He Lin: Why can't he understand what Qi Heng is saying? Also, Gu Qian's temper is getting worse and worse.

Suddenly, at the same moment, with a whoosh, a dagger flew out and shot towards Qi Heng.
