The troublemaker shook his furry body.
Uh, His Majesty seems very angry.
only--
"You certainly didn't give him face, but you flattered him to death!"
Huoshui plucked up the courage to say something "fair".
"Too flattering?"
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Oh wow, this little idiot has become smart.
Huoshui: ...Of course.
It is no longer the idiot it used to be, but the first intelligent assistant of His Majesty.
After following His Majesty for so many years, I have been influenced by him and have developed some intelligence.
"Isn't that just flattery?"
Huoshui thought of his Majesty's various actions and couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Chen Duan.
"You are so 'sensible', a model of a good wife."
"It's just an engagement, and you haven't even officially become the Princess of Liang, yet you've already spent so much of your family fortune on providing food and wages for the Prince of Liang, giving him the sacred horse shoe, a weapon used by the army, and even concocting a miracle just for him!"
Huoshui pointed his fingers and listed all the actions of his majesty.
"You are completely devoted to Chen Duan, completely unreserved, like a love-struck person."
"Who are you? You are a daughter of the distinguished Wujun Gu family, gifted with intelligence and beauty!"
Such a beautiful woman with noble birth, extremely intelligent and stunning beauty, is devoted to others like a lovesick little woman. She is a typical example of "giving away money". Which man can bear it?
"Chen Duan is just a remarried man from a commoner family, not even from a poor family. Yet, he can make the girl from the Gu family so 'admired'. After so long, how can he not lose himself?"
Chen Duan had long been flattered by His Majesty to the point of being complacent and carried away by his own pride, and had completely forgotten his own name.
"So, he believes that you are deeply loyal to him and your love is unwavering!"
"Even if he lets you down, as long as there's a 'forced' reason, you'll understand!"
"After all, you are his good wife, who is most aware of the overall situation and takes the overall situation into consideration."
As he spoke, Huoshui began to feel some sympathy for Chen Duan.
"From the very beginning, Chen Duan fell into your gentle trap!"
Gu Qingcheng sneered, "A trap? What did I do to him? Am I wrong for being so sincere to him?"
Troublemaker: ...
Uh, I was so excited that I forgot about my Majesty's temper.
It quickly shut up and shook its head frantically: That's right! Your Majesty, how could you be wrong!
However, being right is the scariest thing.
Your Majesty has calculated people's hearts to the extreme.
Her sincere devotion flattered Chen Duan so much that he was dizzy and lost his basic judgment.
Now, the "backlash" is coming.
Chen Duan actually regarded His Majesty as a love-brained person who would disregard dignity and give up everything for love.
"Let me voluntarily give up my position as empress so that he can marry Wang's daughter? So as to consolidate his throne?"
Gu Qingcheng placed the letter on the table and said coldly, "I knew he would expand his harem for profit, but I didn't expect he would be so ruthless."
Demote your wife to a concubine?
Haha, who does he think he is?
Emperor Guangwu?
"Unfortunately, even if he is Emperor Guangwu, I am not Yin Lihua."
"He also said that in his heart, I will always be his wife——"
Pure bullshit!
If you love her, marry her with three matchmakers and six betrothals, and let her stand by your side with full legitimacy.
The wife in your heart?
Who can see it?
Will the law and rituals recognize it?
When you need proof, how do you prove it? Dig out your heart?
The most important thing is that Gu Qing is not a poor woman from a fallen family. She has the huge Gu family behind her.
She herself can provide Chen Duan with a steady supply of food, silver, and more assistance.
In short, she still has enough value!
However, Chen Duan still had this idea - to make Wang's daughter the queen, just to win the support of old families such as Wang and Xie.
Of course, the 30,000 troops under Wang's command also played a crucial role.
However, compared with Gu Qing, Wang's advantage is not that great.
However, Chen Duan still promised the throne to Wang.
The reason is simple. He is too "confident" in Gu Qing and firmly believes that this silly woman will endure and give in for him!
Huoshui: ...That's why I said he was overpraised.
They have all lost their basic judgment.
Her Majesty is not some infatuated woman, but a flower queen who treats men as tools!
The most amazing thing is that your majesty's plan can be called an open conspiracy.
She really gave her heart to him. Not only Chen Duan, but also Zhou Shao and other confidants of Chen Duan knew it very well.
Therefore, if His Majesty fell out with Chen Duan, everyone would understand—
The daughter of the Gu family is sincere and genuine. Even if you, Chen Duan, don't cherish her, you can't trample on her like this.
Let the daughter of the dignified Gu family be your concubine?
You have such a big face!
Even if the daughter of the Gu family is crazy about love, her family, her relatives, and even her pride in being a daughter of the Gu family cannot allow her to do such a shameful thing.
Even if you are the emperor, you can't humiliate people like this.
These days, aristocratic families are indeed gradually declining, but the Gu family is still one of the top aristocratic families in Jiankang.
No daughter of the Gu family, even if she was born out of wedlock, could be allowed to be a concubine.
Not to mention she is a legitimate daughter.
Moreover, everyone in the world knows that the reason Chen Duan and Gu got engaged was not because they were attracted by beauty, but because of the alliance of interests between the two families.
The Gu family has the entire Lingnan as a "dowry", if they still can't get the position of queen -
Tsk tsk, the daughter of the Gu family and the entire Gu family will become the laughing stock of the world!
