Chapter 198 The Emperor Bestows Marriage Upon the Ninth Prince and Gu Yiwen
Everyone in the Zhao family was imprisoned. As expected, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yuzhe were beheaded, and the rest were exiled.
Gu Gaoyuan of the Gu family was beheaded, and the rest were exiled.
Now, she lives alone in the Gu family, with only a few servants. She has not yet moved out of the Gu residence.
She achieved her current outcome by betraying all her relatives in order to save herself.
Her mother and her half-brother were both exiled because of her.
However, Gu Yilan didn't feel much psychological burden.
Even if she doesn't report it, it's still possible to find out, so she might as well report it! At least she'll be fine!
Fortunately, she still has money to rely on.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart.
Looking down, he saw a blood-dripping dagger protruding from his heart.
Someone stabbed her in the heart from behind.
Her face was deathly pale, and her whole body was convulsing.
Her body fell uncontrollably to the ground, and she was turned over so that she could see the person who stabbed her.
It was a man.
The man looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, I realized that he was a servant of the Zhao family and a trusted confidant of the master.
The man glared at Gu Yilan with hatred: "If it weren't for you, Master wouldn't be in this predicament, and the Zhao family wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Gu Yilan's pupils became unfocused, she felt cold all over her body, and gradually lost consciousness.
Gu Yilan died just like that.
When Gu Yiwen learned of Gu Yilan's death, he felt neither grief nor joy.
She thought she would be happy if Gu Yilan died one day, but she wasn't.
The entire Gu family collapsed. She wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
She was just glad that Gu Gaoyuan had severed ties with her before, otherwise she would have been implicated as well.
-----------------
Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
Xiao Yuqi knelt before the emperor, his expression solemn and serious.
"You said you want to marry Gu Gaoyuan's daughter, Gu Yiwen, as your principal wife?" the emperor said.
"The disgraced subject Gu Gaoyuan has severed ties with Yiwen. Now, Yiwen has recognized the Marquis of Dingbei as her adoptive father. Her maternal grandfather is Lin Chuan, who was just appointed Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies by you. Lord Lin dotes on him."
The emperor frowned.
Even so, she still felt that her son's background was not good enough for him.
Although she was separated from her husband, she was still the daughter of a disgraced official.
Xiao Yuqi looked a little nervous: "By the way, she also has a very special relationship with Qin Wanying. She was also lost when she was a child, and she and Qin Wanying lived in the same Beitianfang neighborhood. They were very close when they were young. She is Qin Wanying's best friend."
The emperor raised his eyelids slightly.
"Since you like her, then marry her," the Emperor said.
Xiao Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wanying still has a lot of influence!
The Emperor thought to himself, "Even the Ninth Prince's marriage is settled."
When will the Crown Prince finally marry Qin Wanying?! It's driving me crazy with anticipation!
-----------------
cell.
Gu Gaoyuan sat in his cell, his hair disheveled.
He knew he was about to die because Gu Yilan had reported him.
I feel my life has become somewhat absurd, because my daughter's marriage has ruined the entire family.
If he could turn back time, he wouldn't have allowed his daughter to be married off in a different marriage.
No, if things went a little further back, he wouldn't send gifts to Zhao Sheng.
It would be best if it could be done a little earlier, and if he treated Gu Yiwen better...
He also gathered some information while in the prison cell.
He knew Gu Yilan was dead.
He felt no sadness; he only felt it was her retribution.
Who told her to report him?
I also heard that Gu Yiwen and the Ninth Prince are engaged, and the Ninth Prince is going to marry Gu Yiwen as his principal wife.
He was extremely surprised, thinking that the Ninth Prince could at most marry her as a concubine, but he never expected that she would be his wife!
He asked to see Gu Yiwen.
Now that Gu Yiwen has married the Ninth Prince, saving his life as her father shouldn't be too difficult!
However, no one was willing to pass on a message to him.
The fact that the daughter doesn't even come to see her father, who is about to die, speaks volumes.
The officials from the Dali Temple all shook their heads. This Gu Gaoyuan had severed ties with his promising daughter, but his biased daughter had caused his death.
You brought this on yourself!
Xue looked lifeless in her prison cell.
Upon learning that her daughter had reported the Gu family, Madam Xue could not believe her ears.
The daughter he raised with such care and devotion turned out to betray him for the greater good.
When she heard that her daughter had died, she cried again.
Upon hearing that Gu Yiwen was to marry the Ninth Prince as his principal wife, she was surprised but no longer able to feel jealous.
When she first entered the Gu family, Lin was the principal wife, and she was the secondary wife.
She always tried to outdo Lin in every way.
After Lin died, she hoped that her daughter could surpass Lin's daughter.
As a result, she became a prisoner, harmed by her daughter, who then died.
Lin's daughter, however, became an imperial concubine.
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Xue's lips.
-----------------
Qin Wanying was in her room at the Crown Prince's residence, taking stock of what she had learned from this incident.
She not only saved her best friend's life, but also facilitated her marriage to the Ninth Prince.
Zhao Sheng was a confidant of the Empress Dowager and was eliminated. The bribery list also implicated some minor officials, who were all brought down along with him.
Gu Yiwen's maternal grandfather, Lin Chuan, was originally a loyal minister, but now he has been given an important position and replaced Zhao Sheng.
The Empress Dowager's faction suffered heavy losses.
Having repeatedly thwarted their plans, I doubt the Empress Dowager and the War King will let this go easily.
Qin Wanying guessed that they were about to take action again.
She always travels with many bodyguards, and her hidden weapons are always with her.
However, the Empress Dowager's actions were not necessarily directed at her, and she also reminded her family members to be careful.
Although I weakened the protagonist's aura a bit, I still couldn't see the Empress Dowager's actions and couldn't prevent them in advance.
We can only deal with whatever comes our way.
-----------------
Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager's face turned ashen, and a sense of powerlessness rose within her.
She didn't know how many times she had failed in her confrontation.
At this time, Chen Ling Shuang requested an audience.
Since Chen Ling Shuang's father had sided with the Empress Dowager, Chen Ling Shuang had also made several appearances in front of the Empress Dowager.
Chen Ling Shuang was quite attentive to the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager allowed her to enter the palace to see her and even discuss some intimate matters with her.
Chen Ling Shuang said to the Empress Dowager, "I have a plan to deal with Qin Wan Ying."
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up.
She looked at Chen Ling Shuang with disbelief.
"Your Majesty, Qin Wanying is currently surrounded by numerous shadow guards, making assassination very difficult. Perhaps..."
Chen Ling Shuang lowered her voice and spoke a few words to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Ling Shuang and said, "You go and handle this matter. If you do it well, I will reward you, your father's family, and your fiancé will also receive rewards."
Chen Ling Shuang smiled deeply: "This subject will certainly not fail in her mission."
-----------------
Two days later, the Duchess of England held her birthday banquet.
He hosted a banquet for many officials and their families.
The Crown Prince and Qin Wanying were both on the invitation list.
Although the Duke of England's daughter is not very good, she is an upright person and would not have any scheming intentions.
However, the Crown Prince was not at ease with Qin Wanying attending the birthday banquet.
Qu Wanyi, the daughter of the Duke of Ying, may harbor resentment towards Qin Wanying and be looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
Because many of the War King's men would also attend the birthday banquet, Yan Danyang and Marquis Zhong'an would both bring their families.
Xiao Jiye was worried that these people would cause trouble at the birthday banquet, since they didn't usually have many opportunities to interact with Qin Wanying.
