At least Gu Youyi is not that important.

Otherwise, the Gu family would not have left her behind when they fled the Northern Dynasty.

Even if Gu Youyi is already married, if the Gu family really cares about her, they will take her away even if they have to lie or kidnap her.

However, the Gu family did not do so. They even used Gu Youyi to deceive the entire Northern Dynasty, allowing the Gu family to disappear overnight!

If it’s not for Gu Youyi, then what is it for Gu Sanniang?

Do you think that Yuwen Heng is a hero of his generation and that you feel a sense of mutual admiration for him?

What a joke! This isn't some legendary story written by some pedantic intellectual from the lower class.

Yuwen Heng himself would not do such a stupid thing.

Gu Sanniang, although she is a woman, she is definitely not a woman with a soft heart!

Not to mention anything else, just the "fireworks show" she created is enough to prove her cruelty!

Yuwen Heng closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to recall the tragic scenes he had just seen on the river.

Whether Gu Sanniang let him go or not, he would not be grateful.

From now on, he and Chen Duan are enemies forever.

Huoshui: ...You are not sick, right? Shouldn't he hold a grudge against Your Majesty?

Gu Qingcheng said: This is the benefit of 'secular prejudice'. In a patriarchal society, women are dependent on men.

A woman obeys her husband at home and after marriage. If a woman gets into trouble, people will habitually blame her "guardian".

Troublemaker: ...

Well, it seemed to understand a little bit the profound meaning of what His Majesty said, "Marrying Chen Duan will also benefit me."

Indeed, with Chen Duan blocking the way in front, Your Majesty can develop in a low-key and subtle way.

"Major General, this is bad, the young lady is missing!"

The guards could not hear the idle chatter of Gu Qingcheng and Huoshui, they were more concerned about their lord.

As the young lady happened to be mentioned, the guards subconsciously looked around and exclaimed, "Young General, did something happen to the young lady?"

The young lady can't swim either.

The key point is that she is a pampered lady, and once she falls into the water, she has no ability to save herself.

"……Don't worry!"

Yuwen Heng was not too anxious.

First of all, Yuwen Heng did not have such deep feelings for Gu Youyi.

And as a superior, he would not abandon thousands of troops and turn around to save others for a woman.

Secondly, Yuwen Heng chose to believe Gu Qingcheng.

They are all daughters of the Gu family. As long as Gu Youyi waits alive for the troops on the other side of the river, Gu Sanniang will not ignore her.

If she couldn't hold on until the "reinforcements" arrived, it would be Gu Youyi's fate.

Yuwen Heng had no choice but to sigh.

Compared to Gu Youyi, Yuwen Heng was more worried about his advisers and confidants.

"By the way, have you seen these gentlemen?"

Yuwen Heng was in a hurry to escape and really didn't pay attention to other people.

At this moment, feeling a little safer and reminded, Yuwen Heng finally had the mind to pay attention to these things.

"...Except for Sima Jiang and Mr. Liu, the other gentlemen are still here!"

The guards went to search the large army behind and hurried back to report.

"Jiang Sima? Jiang Chi!"

For some reason, Yuwen Heng suddenly had a bad feeling.

In fact, he couldn't be sure whether Jiang Chi died in the river, escaped during the chaos, or was captured by the enemy.

However, Yuwen Heng could never help recalling that day in the commander's tent when Jiang Chi said in front of everyone that he had "nowhere to escape."

"Jiang Chi, I hope this is just my imagination."

Otherwise, he would never let Jiang Chi go, oh no, it was the man behind all this - Chen Duan!

…

A-choo!

A-choo!

Gu Youyi sneezed several times in succession.

Who is thinking about her?

Ah Heng?

right!

It must be Ah Heng!

If he finds out that she is missing, he will definitely be worried and will try every possible way to find her and save her.

"Have a bowl of ginger water."

Gu Qingcheng slowly walked to the temporary military camp on the other side of the river, saw Gu Youyi slumped on the ground, and said softly.

All in all, Gu Qingcheng hadn't seen this cousin for eight or nine years.

My memory of my cousin has become really vague.

I just vaguely remember that she was a pretty girl with average intelligence.

In her previous life, Gu Youyi relied on the Gu family to marry Bu Liuhu, one of the eight nobles of the Northern Dynasty.

Bu Liuhu is also one of the Eight Pillars of the State, commanding a large number of troops, and is the target of Yuwen Heng's efforts to win over.

The eldest son of the Bu Liuhu family married Gu Youyi, which was also an alliance of interests between the two families.

Afterwards, Gu Qingcheng assisted Yuwen Heng in unifying the world and ascending the throne. Bu Liuhu, as a relative, was also given important positions.

If Gu Youyi hadn't done anything stupid, she could have lived a life of wealth and glory.

What a pity, Gu Youyi had a good hand but played it badly.

"She's clearly the blood cousin of me, the Empress (Heavenly Queen), yet she still managed to cause unrest in the harem. Not only did she allow Bu Liuhu to get a concubine, but she also allowed that concubine to take charge of the household."

"A noble lady of the Gu family, with a family home and a dowry, yet still lives such a miserable life. Gu Youyi is the first of her kind."

Gu Qingcheng thought of some things from her previous life and couldn't help shaking her head.

If Gu Youyi is really domineering, she can use her power to bully others.

After all, she has the Gu family behind her, and even if the Gu family has lost their patience with Gu Youyi, they will still support Gu Youyi for the sake of the word "Gu".

But she became one of the most jealous and vicious women in the capital, and she still allowed her husband to have a concubine and gave birth to several illegitimate sons and daughters.
