"You are truly worthy of being me. I am the legitimate daughter, yet you try to outdo me in every way."
"Even when you were unconscious, I couldn't get close to you."
"You are such a selfish person, no wonder you can still hang out with other men without any guilt after leaving the emperor and returning to the afterlife."
Gu Sang gazed at Gu Qingrou condescendingly.
really.
She did not find the courage to die together with him in Gu Qingrou's eyes. This time, Gu Qingrou had other intentions.
Gu Sang said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"You risked coming here, didn't you just want to kill me?"
Gu Sang believed that although Gu Qingrou was too love-sick, she was not so stupid as to think that she could kill Gu Sang easily.
Gu Qingrou touched her wedding dress, a nostalgic expression on her face.
She has also worn this wedding dress!
This should belong to her.
Gu Qingrou suddenly laughed miserably. She stared into Gu Sang's eyes and finally revealed her purpose: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you. You are still the same as before."
"I really can't kill you, and I don't intend to kill you. After all, the living can never win against the dead."
"Gu Sang, I won't allow Pei Changying to have another wife besides me."
"He can only be mine."
"Go ahead, I'll replace you."
Gu Sang was simply stunned.
This, this is a big pie falling from the sky and hitting her?
Could such a good thing happen?
For such a big matter, Gu Sang didn't dare to easily believe Gu Qingrou's few words.
Is it because of Gu Qingrou’s possessiveness and love-brain?
Gu Sang took a deep breath, allowing herself to calm down and analyze the situation. She asked rationally, "What's the reason? Why are you willing to replace me?"
Gu Qingrou's eyes flashed with resentment, as if she was swearing to protect something that belonged to her: "Because this position of Queen is mine! He promised me!"
"I bought this with my daughter's blood. No one can take it away from me."
Having said that, Gu Qingrou laughed at herself.
He tilted his head and stared at Gu Sang and spoke slowly:
"Actually, I don't want to help you, but only if you escape far away and return to your own world, will the emperor belong to me completely and completely."
"I know you don't believe me. I'm here with the help of Madam Li."
"You may not know Madam Li, but you must know Concubine Li. She is Concubine Li's mother."
"Mrs. Li asked me to tell you that she regrets not helping her daughter send Grandma Gu out of the capital."
"She thought that as long as she obeyed Lord Li and handed the person over to the emperor, she could save her daughter from suffering."
“It wasn’t until she got the news of her daughter’s death that she felt so much regret, so now she wants to make amends.”
"I want to complete what my daughter failed to do before she died."
Gu Sang's mind was severely shaken.
She thought of the scene of Concubine Li lying in her arms and dying. This woman had always been a quiet and obedient person in the harem.
She had no close relationship with him and they had never even exchanged a few words.
But she paid the price for helping herself, and her mother was also indirectly helping her by trying her best to help her daughter fulfill the regrets she had in her lifetime.
Gu Sang felt that he owed too much to Concubine Li.
She had no choice but to kowtow and admit her mistake in front of Pei Changying's grave so that Concubine Li could rest in peace.
This is the only thing Gu Sang can do for Concubine Li.
"good!"
"Gu Qingrou, I want to remind you that Pei Changying is a tyrannical and capricious person. If he finds out that you are here to replace me, you know what the consequences will be."
Although Gu Sang agreed immediately, he still had to remind Gu Qingrou.
Gu Qingrou's expression was firm, with a faint smile on her face.
She raised her head and forced back her tears: "I believe he won't kill me."
"I have always believed that he still has me in his heart. He was sincere in those vows he made to me."
"Even if he really gets angry and kills me, I'm willing to do that."
"He's the one I've chosen for my whole life. If he doesn't love me anymore, then I'm as good as dead."
"I would rather die at his hands."
Hearing Gu Qingrou's words, Gu Sang was speechless and couldn't say anything.
It’s confirmed, I’m suffering from severe love brain, there’s no cure!
Since Gu Qingrou had already anticipated the outcome, Gu Sang said no more. She looked at Gu Qingrou deeply and said:
"Okay, I hope it will be as you wish. Pei Changying will be kind to you."
Time was running out, so Gu Sang and Gu Qingrou exchanged clothes with each other. After leaving Xuyang Palace, they were met by palace servants bribed by Madam Li.
Under the financial management of Madam Li and the secret protection of the Prime Minister.
Gu Sang finally left the palace smoothly.
A carriage was parked on the street across the street from the palace.
After Gu Sang got on the carriage, the driver immediately drove the carriage towards the gate of the capital.
Gu Sang felt bad looking at the lady in front of him who was wearing plain clothes and had a round face, but now her face had become so thin that it was sunken after the sudden misfortune.
Gu Sang opened his mouth and a hoarse voice came out from his throat: "Thank you."
Mrs. Li looked at Gu Sang with her dim eyes, a faint smile on her lips.
"Don't thank me. I just completed what my daughter didn't finish."
"I think she should be able to rest in peace now."
Gu Sang shook her head: "Madam Li, when I came, Concubine Li was already deeply poisoned. I couldn't save her."
"She told me that she hated Pei Changying."
"She wants to see Pei Changying lose everything."
"I think her last wish will come true tomorrow."
"Madam Li, could you please tell me where Concubine Li is buried? I promised her before she died that I would take Pei Changying to her grave to kowtow and admit my mistakes."
Mrs. Li's body was shaking, and tears were falling like pearls from a broken string.
"She has always been a submissive person, never resisting. I didn't even know she hated the Emperor so much."
"I think she must have been tortured day and night, wanting to die countless times to find relief. That's why she wanted to see the emperor dethrone until her death."
"It's my incompetence as a mother that I didn't even know what kind of life she was leading in the harem."
"Miss Gu, is there anything I can help you with?"
"As long as it's my daughter's last wish, I will help her fulfill it even if it costs me everything."
"This is the only thing I can do for her."
Gu Sang subconsciously wanted to reach into her pocket to get a tissue, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't have any tissues with her.
She had to comfort him:
"Mrs. Li, now is not the time to cry."
"I'm going to rush to where the army is stationed to arrange everything later."
"Please go to the Prime Minister's residence and ask to see him alone. After you see him, please let him know that I am safe."
Mrs. Li took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. She looked at Gu Sang in surprise.
then.
Madam Li looked towards the palace and asked, "You even managed to convince the Prime Minister?"
"Hehehe... Pei Changying's life has come to an end."
