Du Changming quickly walked up to Marquis Changping and picked him up.
Marquis Changping took a long time to raise his head. Blood was flowing down from his forehead, which looked extremely terrifying.
"I was truly confident at the time and never imagined so many unexpected events would occur. Your Highness, please trust me again. I will definitely bring Gu Yunni to your side and make her the consort of the Seventh Prince!"
"Okay, okay!" Du Changming laughed in anger, threw the Marquis of Changping to the ground again, sat in his seat, and watched the people below crawling on the ground.
"Then tell me, what's your next move? As long as it's reliable, I won't bother you. If you dare to fool around again, don't blame me for taking your life!"
"Yes." Marquis Changping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his life was saved, everything was possible.
"How about we replace the bridal sedan when they get married? Send Mingxue to the prince's residence, so you can plant a spy there. And send Gu Yunni to your residence, so you can make the matter a done deal."
This was the solution he had just come up with after racking his brains in an extremely dangerous situation.
It's not perfect, but at least it's a good idea.
He looked at Du Changming nervously, not knowing whether he would agree.
"This..." Du Changming frowned and lowered his head to think.
"Alright, then let's do as you say. You go and make the arrangements. If you need manpower, I can lend you some. This plan must succeed, not fail."
Marquis Changping felt relieved and sat on the ground for a long time to relax.
Du Changming lowered his posture and helped the man up personally.
"My Lord, please don't be angry with me. I was just too anxious and forced you. This isn't just my problem. It's also deeply connected to your mansion. My Lord, you have to think it through."
Marquis Changping held his breath and tried hard to force a smile.
Even though Du Changming was confusing right and wrong like this, he could only deal with it with a smile.
"You see, your mansion has been in decline since leaving Gu Yunni. Troubles have been endless. You've even been deprived of the right to attend court. If you don't obtain the Phoenix Heart and Phoenix Blood, I'm afraid the mansion will fall."
Du Changming spoke eloquently, trying to persuade Marquis Changping.
He is not a brainless person. He wants others to do things for him. Threats are one aspect, and treatment is another.
"And your son, how is his health lately? Has he started coughing up blood and fainting? Even if you don't consider the Marquis's Mansion, you should consider your son. This gamble is worth it, right?"
Du Changming stared at Marquis Changping with eyes like a poisonous snake.
He shuddered and nodded quickly, "Yes! Your Highness is right. The Marquisate is not doing well right now and cannot do without Gu Yunni. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Marquisate would decline."
"You're welcome, my Lord. You and I have known each other for a long time, and you are my only confidant. Naturally, I think of you in everything. There is no turning back for us."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries politely, but neither of them spoke the truth. They were all speaking lies, but no one dared to expose them.
Du Changming's emotions became increasingly unstable. If someone said something unpleasant, he would probably lose his life.
"You don't have to think I'm threatening you. Go home and think about it carefully. If anything I said is wrong, you can come and confront me."
The two talked for a long time, and Du Changming's patience was finally exhausted, so he asked to drive Changping Hou away.
Marquis Changping also breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the mansion impatiently. He refused to stop no matter how many times he got stuck along the way.
Du Changming is like a devil. If he stays for one more second, he might lose his life.
Marquis Changping originally wanted to take the carriage and go back home directly, but he saw his housekeeper running over crying and howling, and threw himself beside the carriage with tears streaming down his face.
"My Lord, please go back to the mansion and take a look! The eldest young master is not well. He coughed up a bowl of blood again today and is now unconscious. The doctor said that if he is not treated, he may not be able to recover!"
"What?" Marquis Changping was shocked and stood beside the carriage, without moving.
He never expected that his son couldn't even wait for a few days.
"How could the young master suddenly develop such serious symptoms! Didn't I have the doctor stay by his side all the time and give him medicine every day? How did he take care of him? Are those people useless?!"
The housekeeper's crying was not suppressed, and the Marquis of Changping became angry when he realized what was happening.
This is his only child. If something really happens to him, he will have no one to succeed him.
So why is he struggling so hard now?
"The doctor said it was a sudden onset of symptoms. His condition was fine a few years ago, but it worsened this year, plummeting from its peak to its lowest point. The doctor said if we don't find a solution, there's nothing he can do. The young master's condition deteriorated so quickly, and he wasn't prepared."
The housekeeper wiped away his tears and honestly repeated what the doctor said.
Marquis Changping lost his balance on the carriage and nearly fell off.
He naturally knew why his son's condition worsened so quickly. It was because Gu Yunni suddenly left the Marquis' Mansion!
He didn't take Gu Yunni seriously before, but now he knows how capable she is.
"My Lord, you must hold on! Madam and Miss have fainted from crying in the mansion. Please think of a solution quickly. What should I do? How can I save the young master?"
Seeing that Marquis Changping's face was pale and he was about to faint, the housekeeper was frightened and hurried forward to support him.
He is just a housekeeper. If all the responsibilities fall on him, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
"I will go back to the mansion first and see for myself what the situation is."
"yes."
Marquis Changping leaned on the steward's hand and took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.
The coachman did not dare to delay any longer and immediately whipped his horse back to the marquis's mansion.
What happened to Marquis Changping outside the Seventh Prince's Mansion had already reached Du Changming, and he had a sly smile on his face.
"You've done a great job. This old stubborn guy has been reluctant to help and always procrastinates on everything. He should be pushed. Otherwise, I don't know when he can accomplish what I want!"
"Thank you for the praise, Master. I will do my best to complete whatever you want."
Du Changming thought of an important question and looked at him, "Are you ruthless this time? Can his son's life be saved? At least keep him hanging for a while, otherwise he will have no choice but to give up."
"Master, rest assured, the amount I gave was only a small amount. Although I don't know why the eldest young master of the Marquisate fell ill so quickly, he can still survive."
The man nodded with a puzzled expression on his face. He could only say that the young master was in very poor health.
"Well, his son's body has long been hollowed out. He should have died years ago. If Gu Yunni hadn't been living in the mansion, he would have died long ago. You don't have to think too much."
Du Changming nodded and waved his hand to let people leave.
As long as this is done, he will be one step closer to the throne.
