At that time, the original owner of the body had died, and the Wen family only had one adopted daughter, Wen Ruyi. She was already highly regarded by the old lady of the Wen family. After the original owner of the body died, as the only daughter of the Wen family, she was naturally valued even more.
When Empress Dowager Guo heard about Gu Heng's decision, she did not object at all, but instead strongly supported it.
After all, the Wen family is a century-old clan with deep roots and great prestige in the court. If Gu Heng marries Wen Ruyi, it will only bring him benefits.
Soon after, Wen Ruyi, as the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, married into the palace in a grand ceremony and became Gu Heng's empress.
And so began the tragedy of the Wen family.
All along, Wen Ruyi had only used the Wen family as a stepping stone to achieve her goals.
As the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, she smoothly became empress, but she showed no gratitude whatsoever. In order to enhance her reputation as a virtuous empress, she even had people fabricate charges to frame the Wen family.
The Wen family, a century-old clan, was destroyed in a single day, but she became a virtuous empress who put righteousness before family, and was even recorded in the history books by the imperial censor.
The original book tells the story of the heroine's inspirational comeback and eventual rise to become a wise empress. The whole book is very enjoyable to read. In addition, the Wen family is just a stepping stone for the heroine to become empress. The Wen family is not described in much detail, and their sacrifice is taken for granted.
...
Wen Nongnong leaned against the car wall to rest, the plot of the original book flashing through her mind.
When she read the book before, she didn't find it unreasonable because the plot was just to serve the male and female protagonists. But now that she has become a member of the Wen family, she feels that this setting is really illogical.
Why should the Wen family be sacrificed just to make Wen Ruyi successful?
Fortunately, Wen Ruyi has now been sent away and will not be able to run into Gu Heng again. As long as the two do not meet, the subsequent events should not happen.
"Miss, we've arrived at the Prince's Mansion." Green's cheerful voice pulled her back to reality.
Wen Nongnong composed herself, regained her composure, and, supported by Lü Qiao's hand, got off the carriage.
Looking at the magnificent mansion before her, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Although Gu Linchao didn't like her, he wouldn't make things difficult for her. Living with the title of Regent's Consort didn't seem so bad.
With a powerful maternal family like the Wen family as her backing, and a husband like Gu Linchao, and with Wen Ruyi's matter temporarily resolved, she seemed to be able to truly rest easy...
She lifted her skirt, stepped up the stairs, and thought to herself.
But as she walked, she suddenly stopped.
"Miss?" Green Fairy followed behind her, somewhat puzzled when she suddenly stopped.
Wen Nongnong came to her senses. "It's okay, let's go." But a complicated feeling arose in her heart.
Because she suddenly remembered that Gu Linchao's ending was also not good.
Throughout history, those whose achievements overshadow their rulers have never had a good ending.
Gu Linchao, as the regent of Daye, devoted himself to assisting the emperor and creating a prosperous era. However, Gu Heng always harbored suspicion towards him, so later, he poisoned him with a cup of poisoned wine.
That was much later, near the end of the book.
She had just sighed inwardly when she looked up and saw Gu Linchao walking towards her.
She paused for a moment, then curtsied to him, "Is Your Highness going out?"
"Hmm," Gu Linchao responded indifferently.
Wen Nongnong nodded and said nothing more, but when she looked at him now, a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes.
No matter how much power Gu Linchao wielded, or how many merits he made for the great cause, what good was it? In the end, wasn't he still killed by a cup of poisoned wine?
It's really not worth it!
She shook her head and couldn't help but sigh.
