Chapter 187: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (The End)

Wen Wan had heard Gu Xi say that General Chen and several other generals were Gu Xi's men. Gu Xi's performance had directly won over the other generals to his support.

The reason the emperor is still alive is that he cannot die for the time being.

However, the palace was already filled with his men, waiting for his order to change dynasties in Mingzhou.

As expected, Gu Xi ultimately rebelled.

Under the guise of returning to the capital in triumph, he secretly amassed troops. As Gu Xi had predicted, the emperor's first act was to seize his military power, and he even attributed the death of his princess to an accident, a hypocrisy that made one want to vomit.

Gu Xi pretended to be calmed down and held a funeral for his princess, staying at home and not going out.

A few days later, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, and the crown prince directly rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate. All of this was within Gu Xi's expectations. One thing led to another, and Gu Xi quickly took control of the entire palace under the pretext of "purging the court of corrupt officials." After a bloody purge, the crown prince was killed, and the emperor was forced to abdicate.

Thus, Gu Xi became the new emperor as expected by the people.

Chu Huang was posthumously honored as Empress Duanjing.

Chu Sisi, being a henchman of the Crown Prince and having secretly poisoned the Emperor, was quickly imprisoned. The Prime Minister's mansion, which had been thriving, was also dealt with swiftly, with Prime Minister Chu Feng and his entire family exiled.

After everything calmed down, Gu Xi quickly dispatched troops to pursue Qin Prefecture and swiftly destroyed it the following year. Within three years, he destroyed the other two prefectures, making Qin Prefecture the most powerful of the nine prefectures.

He then spent another ten years gradually conquering the remaining four continents, eventually unifying the nine provinces, changing the country's name to Xi, and beginning his journey to become the greatest emperor in history.

In the third year of his reign, Wen Wan became Empress. Although she had no children, Gu Xi still kept his promise to her. She was the only woman in the harem. Later, he adopted a boy from the imperial clan and raised him. At the age of sixty, he abdicated in favor of the child and then took Wen Wan to travel across the great rivers and mountains of the Nine Provinces.

The emperor and empress became a legendary couple.

Extra·

Chu Sisi's jade pendant was confiscated when she was imprisoned. Originally, she was quite happy that Chu Huang was burned to death. She originally planned to kill the old emperor with the crown prince, who promised her the position of empress.

She never expected that Gu Xi would disrupt things at the last moment.

The Crown Prince died, and all his supporters were quickly brought under control. The situation was settled in an instant, so fast that she, or many others, didn't even have time to react before it was over.

Prime Minister Chu Feng was killed, and the others in the Prime Minister's mansion were sentenced to exile. Her mother, Chen Xin, hanged herself when Chu Feng was killed, and her younger brother lost both his mother and her, and it is unknown what will become of him.

"I need to see the Emperor. I have a very important secret to tell you," Chu Sisi said to the jailer.

The news quickly reached Gu Xi's ears. At that moment, Gu Xi was reading the memorials, while Wen Wan was playing with the female lead's jade pendant. It looked like an ordinary jade pendant, but it actually contained a lot of secrets.

She went in several times. Originally, only the female lead who had recognized her master could enter, and no one else could. But Wen Wan had a system, which was unreliable most of the time, but quite reliable for a small part of the time.

"I won't see you," Gu Xi said.

"I'll see you," Wen Wan said.

Gu Xi: "..."

"What do you want to see her for?"

"Husband, aren't you curious about her secret? I'm very curious, so let's go and listen." Although the two are not yet married, Wen Wan would call out like this whenever she needed something from Gu Xi. If she did, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Gu Xi would send someone to pluck them down for her.

In the end, Gu Xi still took Wen Wan to the prison and saw the disheveled female lead.

What secret do you want to tell me?

Looking at Gu Xi, who was dressed in imperial robes, Chu Sisi suddenly asked, "If I had married you in place of Chu Huang, would the ending have been different?" Although Chu Huang also died, she at least gained Gu Xi's favor and the status of Empress.

Wen Wan also stared at Gu Xi curiously.

Gu Xi sneered, "No, you'll die even sooner."

Wen Wan: As expected of you.

These words must have infuriated Chu Sisi. Chu Sisi was indeed quite upset. "Why does Chu Huang have the upper hand? Aside from being born into a better family, what else does she have that I don't?"

Wen Wan suddenly spoke up, "She's prettier than you too."

Chu Sisi looked at the strange woman beside her and asked, "Who are you?"

"Why should I tell you if I'm not going to?"

Chu Sisi: "..."

Gu Xi reached out and tugged at Wen Wan, his tone indulgent, "Stop fooling around." Then he turned to look at Chu Sisi, his eyes turning cold, "What exactly do you want to say? I'm very busy and don't have time to waste here with you."

"If the Emperor promises me to spare my brother, I will tell him."

"Fine, go ahead and say it." Wen Wan interrupted again. Chu Sisi had thought Gu Xi would be angry, but he wasn't. She was shocked. "Aren't you the one who loves my sister Chu Huang the most? Who is this woman? How can you face her?"

Wen Wan held Gu Xi's hand, "Yeah, do you love me or her?"

Gu Xi: "..."

Aren't we all the same person? Why are you so jealous?

“Ah Yuan, stop fooling around.”

Chu Sisi suddenly felt that Chu Huang was also unfortunate. She thought she was Gu Xi's true love, but she had only been dead for a short time, and Gu Xi already had another woman by his side. Suddenly, she felt happy.

“The jade pendant I often wear has a space inside. All the medicines I used to refine came from there, but only I can enter. If Your Majesty agrees to release my brother, I am willing to give everything inside to Your Majesty.”

Is this the jade pendant?

Chu Sisi looked at the jade pendant in Wen Wan's hand and tried to snatch it, saying, "This is it."

Wen Wan: "You said there's a spatial elixir inside this jade pendant, then take it. I want to see it."

When Chu Sisi received the jade pendant, she couldn't help but think: Heaven had given her such a great opportunity, so why did she still fail and end up living a miserable life with no good ending? Heaven is truly unfair.

Chu Si wanted to enter the Spirit Spring Space as before, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't get in.

Chu Sisi was shocked. "This is impossible! Why can't I get in? How is this possible?"

He bit his finger again and dripped blood onto the jade pendant, but it was still no use.

"Why haven't you gone in yet? You've really gone crazy from all the excitement. This jade pendant is just a jade pendant. How could it possibly fit a person as big as you, and all those spiritual herbs, right?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible..."

Chu Sisi has gone mad.

He held onto that jade pendant every day, chanting about some kind of space, and remained imprisoned until the day he died.

As for the female lead's younger brother, he suffered a serious illness due to the shock and lost his memory. He was later adopted by Liu Qiyu. Wen Wan never expected that Liu Qiyu, who disliked Chen Xin so much, would adopt her son.

Liu Qiyu was greatly traumatized by her daughter's death, but she eventually pulled through and lived a relatively happy life in her later years, even finding a partner. In the original story, Liu Qiyu's ending can be considered a happy one.

Xiao Taozi eventually married Wang Yaozu, who, along with the Heaven and Earth nightclub, truly became the richest man in the world, successfully replacing Ye Nanfeng and fulfilling his initial promise.

Wang Yaozu was initially quite sad, after all, all of this was given to him by the princess. Unfortunately, the princess passed away before she could see the day when Heaven on Earth would successfully spread throughout the land. However, one day, he received a mysterious customer.

When the customer left, he left behind a design sketch. The familiar scribbles and style made Wang Yaozu burst into laughter. Later, he learned the customer's identity, but this huge secret would be buried in his heart forever.
