"Your Majesty! This is indeed why I came here."
Consort Li suffered a miscarriage, which weakened her body and led to a deficiency of both qi and blood.
Now, I have a prescription that can cure Consort Li's heart ailment.
Your Majesty must not harm innocent people because of the Imperial Advisor's reckless words.
The idea of using heart blood to cure heart disease is utter nonsense.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Li Zhiyan's eyes, and he tightly gripped the advice that the Imperial Advisor had just sent.
Suppressing his intense emotions, he slowly walked towards Gu Qianluo, his body trembling as he asked,
"Oh? How did Luo'er know the contents of the Imperial Advisor's advice?"
Furthermore, how did you come to know about Consort Li's miscarriage?
Gu Qianluo's eyes flickered, and her heart sank as she looked into Li Zhiyan's sinister gaze.
Could it be that her memory is faulty?
She clearly remembered that at this time in her previous life, the Imperial Advisor had already publicly presented his advice in court.
The search for a miracle doctor is nothing more than a superficial act.
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, Li Zhiyan revealed a sly smile and asked in a deep voice,
"Could it be that Luo'er, like me, is a reborn person?"
Gu Qianluo's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up into his sinister eyes.
Or, we could just tell him the truth today.
"You're right, I am indeed a reborn person."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan's mind went blank for a moment, deep sorrow welled up in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice,
"So, a year ago, you deliberately chose to marry Chen Jinheng?"
Gu Qianlu paused, met Li Zhiyan's bloodshot eyes directly, and answered firmly.
"Yes! I did this only to prevent the tragedy of my previous life from repeating itself."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, as if pierced by needles.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were already brimming with tears, and he gave a bitter laugh in a sorrowful voice.
"So, you've been hiding from me all along."
"Yes!" She nodded emphatically.
"If that's the case, then what brings you here today?"
What are you here for? Hehe, she's here to make a deal with Li Zhiyan.
"I have a prescription to cure Chu Li, as long as the Emperor agrees to summon Chen Jinheng back to the capital."
I will then give you the prescription.
Upon hearing this, a sinister and cold glint flashed in Li Zhiyan's eyes.
His expression was cold, his eyes bloodshot, and he quickly stepped forward to grab Gu Qianluo's hands, angrily warning her.
So that's why you came to see me!
"What a pity! Scouts report that he has been in frequent contact with bandits from the cold frontier, and is suspected of treason."
Gu Qianluo's breath hitched, her mind went blank for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she retorted sharply,
"You're talking nonsense! Chen Jinheng isn't that kind of person."
"Luo'er, believe it or not, you will never see him again!"
A cold glint flashed across Gu Qianluo's eyes as she angrily retorted, "Li Zhiyan, what do you want to do?"
"Ha! What are you going to do? You'll find out soon enough!"
Gu Qianluo's pupils contracted slightly, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
"Guards! Chen Jinheng is suspected of treason and collusion with the enemy. The Wu'an Marquis's residence has been sealed off and the Embroidered Uniform Guards have been dispatched to guard it in rotation."
No one may enter or leave without my permission.
"Li Zhiyan, you have sent people to seal off the Marquis's residence before any evidence has been found."
Aren't you afraid the world will say you've indiscriminately killed loyal generals and are incompetent and foolish?
Li Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh wildly, "Hahaha! Luo'er, do you think I'm afraid?"
"Li Zhiyan, you are despicable and shameless!"
"I would do anything to get you."
"What do you want from me to let them go?" Gu Qianlu frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"Luo'er, as long as you become my empress, I will let them go."
After the coronation ceremony concludes in a month, I will summon Chen Jinheng back to the capital and lift the ban on the Marquis of Wu'an's residence.
"I will treat your son with Chen Jinheng as my own and appoint him as Crown Prince."
Gu Qianluo's gaze was intense, and a slight smile played on her lips as she said self-deprecatingly, "It seems I still can't escape it."
“You are a smart man. From today onwards, you will reside temporarily in Kunning Palace.”
Watching Li Zhiyan's departing figure, a murderous glint flashed in Gu Qianluo's eyes as she silently plotted a grand palace drama.
One month later
Ten years after Emperor Dai Viet ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Empress upon her for the first time.
Inside Chongming Hall, guards clad in armor and wielding long swords stood guard both inside and outside the palace.
Inside Kunning Palace, Gu Qianluo, wearing a phoenix crown inlaid with pearls from the East China Sea, blue and rubies, and a bright red wedding dress embroidered with phoenixes and golden and silver threads, waited quietly in her bedchamber.
At this moment, only Zhuying, a maidservant, remained by his side.
"Bamboo Shadow, is your master ready?"
"Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready. Please wait a little longer, the Marquis should still be on his way."
A cold glint flashed in Gu Qianluo's eyes. "Li Zhiyan, you provoked me first."
When the auspicious hour arrived, Gu Qianluo, supported by the master of ceremonies, walked towards Chongming Hall.
Li Zhiyan watched her gradually approach him, and eagerly raised his hand, speaking softly.
"Luo'er, from now on, I will cherish you for the rest of my life and take you to enjoy all the honors and glory in the world."
Gu Qianlu raised her head slightly, and the mechanism in her sleeve activated. Just as she was about to reach out to Li Zhiyan's vital points, suddenly, streaks of cold, sharp sword light pierced the sky and shot straight toward the two of them.
Gu Qianluo's heart skipped a beat; this was not part of her and Chen Jinheng's plan.
"Guards! Go and see who dares to disturb my joyous occasion!"
"Reporting to the Emperor! It's Prince Qi! Prince Qi has led a rebellion!"
"King Qi has murdered the emperor and seized power! Guards! Encircle and capture King Qi with all your might!"
