I'd heard long ago that the imperial family had a crazy streak in their genes, but I never imagined it would be this extreme. Cooperating with Baishan for the sake of a throne, Gu Luobing stormed out in a huff.
Looking at the palaces under reconstruction around him, although he knew that the Empress was threatening him to some extent and talking nonsense, trying to use her words to warn Lu Yulan, he thought that the other party was simply crazy to have such an intention.
Gu Chen was worried and followed after them; after all, it concerned the future wife of the eldest son.
"Minister Gu, how is it?"
"Don't ask me, go back and ask your eldest son."
Such a big matter, she's on the battlefield every day, and all she can think about is killing insects, which is understandable. She doesn't believe that Lu Yuanhong would be completely unaware of something concerning Lu Yulan. He must be joking.
No wonder she had mentioned their marriage so many times, both of them acting strangely; they had been keeping it from her.
She's so angry!
Does she look childish? She went straight to the room that Gu Chen had arranged for Lu Yulan.
I'm going to find out the truth.
But to her surprise, Su Guo was already waiting for her at the door. "You knew everything?"
"Come in first."
Su Guo poured Gu Luobing a glass of juice, thought for a moment, and then began to speak, "Actually, when Principal Gu came to me, I wasn't really keen on it. You know my personality; I don't really like doing big things."
"Growing flowers and plants, and cooking are fine, but governing a country, especially one spanning several star systems, is something I'm actually quite afraid of..."
Seeing that Su Guo was completely frank from the start, Gu Luobing's anger subsided a bit. "Then why did you agree in the end?"
"Because of Ebony, because of Xiao Bao, because of my exile, there is nothing I can do but quietly wait for the outcome and leave it to fate. Because of my friends, I can't save them every time they are in danger."
"So, I regret it. I want rights so that at least I can protect them and protect myself."
"We're all members of the royal family. I just want a fair chance to compete. Why can't I have that?"
Su Guo clenched her fist. Yes, why not? Back then, she only wanted an opportunity, instead of having her path predetermined based on her talent. For the sake of the Su Empire, she was willing to die young.
She was unwilling to accept it, so she lied and set a trap, but she never expected that she would lose to her sister in the end.
The victor is king, the loser is villain. She's willing to accept defeat, and things are still the same now, so why can't she?
Looking at Lu Yulan now, Gu Luobing felt that the other person was completely unfamiliar, but she also felt a faint sense of panic in her heart. Perhaps this was the real her.
"Little Lan'er, being an emperor is not as simple as you imagine. You have nothing now. Do you know that with just one word from His Majesty, you could be dead!"
Su Guo chuckled and took Gu Luobing's hand. "I know you'll help me, right? If I lose, not only me, but also the Skeleton Leader and Chu Rui behind me won't have a good outcome."
“They didn’t have a good life because of my mother. I hope they can have a good outcome. I want to give them a good outcome.”
It has to be said that Su Guo is very good at understanding people's hearts, especially since Gu Luobing is not a ruthless person. These days, Su Guo has been able to let her come into contact with Skull and Xiao Wu, so naturally some feelings have developed between them.
She couldn't bear to watch them die!
“But, Xiao Lan’er, becoming empress isn’t the only way! We can…”
