"With the eldest princess here, your history will never repeat the history of our time and space!"
"The person sitting on the high platform should not be judged by gender. What does it matter whether he is a man or a woman? Shouldn't the position be based on strength?" Gu Sang stared at the prime minister quietly.
This gave the prime minister, whose heart was almost suffocated by sadness, a little more breathing space and shame.
Maybe.
It’s time to change the thinking that has been around for thousands of years.
How could the future generations' strength, peace, equality, and coexistence be comparable to their own? Perhaps it's time for a change...
A hint of determination suddenly flashed in the prime minister's eyes.
He looked up, his eyes no longer conflicted. "Forget it! You're right. I believe you for once!"
"Good! I knew you could tell right from wrong."
"Master Prime Minister, I would like to ask you to help me investigate where my grandmother is being held captive by Pei Changying!"
"Pei Changying doesn't know that I've come here yet, so I'd like you to keep it a secret for me. And, by the way, provide me with a place to stay."
Listening to Gu Sang's request, the prime minister nodded. Indecision was not his style.
Since he has decided to save the fate of the country and has stood on the side of the eldest princess and Gu Sang, he will naturally do his best to help.
"The princess has escaped, and the city will be under strict scrutiny soon."
"I'll just have to ask you to live in the study."
If there was a guest in his house at this time, it would arouse the suspicion of his enemy officials in the court.
As for Gu Sang’s identity, naturally, only he should know it, and even the servants should keep it secret.
Faced with this arrangement, Gu Sang had no objection, as long as there was a place to live.
"Okay, thank you very much!"
The Prime Minister waved his hand and sighed, "I simply don't want my country to experience such humiliation. Even though such a thing may happen a hundred years from now, whenever I think about it now, my heart becomes heavy as a mountain."
"What's more, I do envy the power and survival methods of the future generations."
After saying this, the prime minister walked out of the study, ordered the servants not to enter the study, and immediately went to the palace to help inquire about the news of Grandma Gu's imprisonment.
And the palace at this time.
Grandma Gu was imprisoned in the palace where Concubine Li previously lived. After Pei Changying finished his government affairs, he would take time to chat with Grandma Gu.
In the face of Pei Changying's flattery, Grandma Gu simply ignored him with a cold face.
After Pei Changying left the court, he asked the eunuch to send two night-shining pearls to Grandma Gu. In order to get closer to her, he, who was so high and mighty! Yes, the emperor, who was so high and mighty, did not even call himself "Zhen".
This change in address was what Pei Changying considered to be the most humble form of flattery.
"Grandma Gu, this night-shining pearl is a tribute this year, and it's of excellent quality."
"This night-shining pearl is big and round, and it can emit a faint light at night, brighter than a candle."
Grandma Gu looked back and saw that it was indeed very big, as big as a goose egg.
"Not interested. The light in my house is much brighter than the night pearl."
Pei Changying: "......"
"Well, Grandma Gu, this can't be compared to an electric light. It's said that wearing it for a long time can also beautify and nourish the skin."
"I'll have someone help you break these two pearls into—"
Grandma Gu interrupted again: "If you want beauty and skin care, it's even simpler. Just get a hyaluronic acid injection and do some skin stretching. The effect will be even better than this."
Pei Changying's mouth twitched. Even though he wanted to refute, he couldn't find a reason.
He really wanted to say that this thing was a tribute, and only less than ten were produced a year, and it was so big and round that it was even more scarce.
But Pei Changying knew that Grandma Gu would definitely say, is this thing as scarce as missiles?
Good, good, good!
Grandma Gu didn't even look at any of the good things he brought out.
Pei Changying had no choice but to play the emotional card with Grandma Gu and began to tell her about his meeting and interaction with Gu Sang.
Grandma Gu did not interrupt Pei Changying. She really wanted to know what Gu Sang had experienced in ancient times.
A person who has received modern education and values freedom and equality must have been tortured to live in ancient times.
After all, Grandma Gu has felt the torture and oppression of this era in the past few days.
"Grandma Gu, ah, I was just angry with Gu Sang at that time. I just wanted to see her admit her mistake to me."
"I felt she was out of tune with this era. Her inherent pride and sobriety were truly inappropriate, so I thought about changing her. Later, I finally understood the reason."
"It turns out that Gu Sang's personality is so distinct here because she is not from this world."
"When I found out everything, it was too late. Gu Sang had already gone back."
"I've been begging her for so long. I hope she can give me a chance to reform."
"Even saints make mistakes, let alone me. I'm just too afraid of losing her, so I want to change her."
Listening to Pei Changying's defense of himself, which was full of loopholes, Grandma Gu saw through it but did not say anything.
What?
Still pretending to chase his wife to the crematorium?
Pooh!
Grandma Gu sneered and said, "People are just mean. They always regret what they have lost, but they can't forget what they can't get."
"Now that it has happened, what's the point of you being affectionate?"
When Grandma Gu saw Pei Changying's pleading eyes, she felt nothing at all.
Then, as if remembering something, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he said expressionlessly, "In our later generations, men and women are equal, and men can only marry one wife. Did you know that?"
"Men in later generations must respect their wives. The best responsibility to one's wife is loyalty!"
Pei Changying had already witnessed so many live broadcasts in the future. After hearing what Grandma Gu said, Pei Changying did not hesitate at all.
He agreed immediately, his eyes full of affection and sincerity: "As long as Gu Sang can come back, I promise her that we will be together for the rest of our lives!"
"I also learned from the future generations. I only have one wife, Gu Sang, in this life."
"I am willing to dismiss all the concubines in the harem for her."
Grandma Gu gave Pei Changying a complicated look.
Then, a look of joy appeared in Grandma Gu's eyes, and she said three good words in a row.
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Grandma thought... Concubine Li, finally no one will be trapped in the palace like you.
You can finally escape from the palace.
Grandma Gu knew that Concubine Li dreamed of leaving the palace. She wanted freedom. Now that Plague City could serve as a shield for women, she was qualified to pursue freedom.
As long as Concubine Li dares to take the first step and go to the plague city, she will be able to live a good life.
Grandma Gu was happy in her heart that Concubine Li was able to leave the palace, but she didn't know that Concubine Li had already drunk the poisoned wine and died.
Pei Changying also misunderstood Grandma Gu's thoughts. He thought his words touched her.
Therefore, Pei Changying immediately issued an imperial decree, announcing that all the concubines in the harem would be sent to become nuns.
Suddenly, the entire harem was filled with crying.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I do not want to be a nun."
"Your Majesty, I want to continue serving you..."
