Speaking of this Yang Wan from her previous life.
She was born into a prestigious family and was the prime minister of the Yang family for three generations. Yang Wan's grandfather was an elder of the three dynasties. Her father was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the imperial court and held real power.
Gu Yan was already the regent King. IF HE DID NOT USURP POWER, marrying a princess with such a prominent background was just icing on the cake for him.
However, until now, Xia Ling still did not understand why Gu Yan wanted to marry Yang Wan. Could it be that he had fallen in love with her?
This was not feasible!
In the beginning, Xia Ling had started all over again. She used Gu Yan to make a comeback and gain Gu Yan's favor.
Gu Yan was very good to her, and there were no other women around him. If she could be the only one in the backyard, why would Xia Ling not like a good man like Gu Yan?
If she could figure out why Gu Yan wanted to marry Yang Wan, then she would nip all the prospects in the bud... ...
Xia Ling boasted that she was not inferior to any woman, but a man's heart was like a needle in the ocean.
If Gu Yan was obsessed with taking concubines, then Xia Ling would never stay.
After being reborn, she was much more open-minded. She was willing to stay in the regent King's mansion for Gu Yan, but if gu Yan let other women in, Xia Ling also wanted to get out of the mansion, see the world, and live a different life.

In the same year, the end of the year was approaching.
Xia Kingdom fell under the Iron Cavalry of the Zhou Kingdom. The princes and nobles of Xia Kingdom were all pulled into the Zhou Kingdom in prison wagons.
The Zhou Kingdom had just paid their tribute, and the other side had beaten up Xia Kingdom. It might sound immoral, but it was Xia yu who had sent a secret guard to assassinate Gu Yan first.
If you are unkind, then naturally I am unkind.
Xia Ling sat in the teahouse by the window and looked out.
The faces that were once high and mighty in her memory had now become prisoners.
In both her lifetimes, Xia Ling had been waiting for this day!
Look at the leader, Emperor Xia, and his successor. They used to be very powerful people, but now they were being pulled at the front by the prisoner carriage, and they were being criticized and discussed.
Even if Emperor Xia was her father on the prisoner carriage, looking at Emperor Xia's wretched appearance, Xia Ling could only feel joy and no sympathy.
Perhaps it was because she had been looking forward to it and thought that he was innocent. Even if she was biased and loved her stepdaughter, he had doted on her before.
However, before she died, she knew that everything she did was done in the future, and her father had acquiesced.
The expectations she had for her father had vanished.
Xia Ling felt a sense of joy when she saw Emperor Xia. However, there was more joy than sadness, as if she was a stranger.
She no longer loved or hated him, so he was dispensable to her.

Gu Yan sat opposite Xia Ling.
In the teahouse, Gu Yan had a rare moment of free time.
He wore a black robe that Xia Ling had personally made for him.
Although only the embroidery on the cuffs of the robe was done by Xia Ling, Xia Ling did not hesitate to take the credit for sewing the robe herself.
The man's slender fingers caressed the teacup as he watched the woman sitting by the window.
The person parading on the street below was her closest relative.
If she begged him for mercy, he would consider... ... Giving these people a complete corpse ...
Would she open her mouth?
Gu Yan put down the teacup. The sound of the teacup being placed on the table was slightly louder.
Xia Ling looked over.
"This king can unconditionally agree to a request of yours, " Gu Yan said indifferently.
Seeing that she had served him so well and that he quite liked her, it was not a big deal to give her a gift.
"really? " Xia Ling looked at him.
Her eyes flashed slightly. There seemed to be a flowing light in her eyes that Gu Yan could not understand.
Gu Yan curled her lips and did not speak.
With his status, he did not need to say it a second time. As long as he, Gu Yan, said it, Xia Ling would be the first to question him.
"Okay, then I will take it seriously! " Xia Ling smiled, her eyes curved.
The way her eyes lit up, Gu Yan frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.
Xia Ling: "then I hope that I am the only one in the Royal Highness' backyard who only pampers me. Will the Royal Highness agree? "
"IMPUDENT! " Gu Yan's face instantly darkened.
Such a request was very impudent.
To say such a thing as a beloved concubine, it was obvious that he had spoiled her too much and spoiled her too much.
"Why are you being impudent? The Royal Highness clearly likes me and doesn't need any marriage to consolidate his position. Why do you still want to marry another woman? " Xia Ling was not moved by his anger and continued to ask with a curved lips.
"Xia Ling, pay attention to your identity! "
Xia Ling continued to smile. "My identity... ... What identity do I have ? I was once a princess, then a dancer, and then your beloved concubine "... identity is just a matter of where you are, and you get what you want "... what identity do I have, isn't it all because of your Highness'reward?"
Gu Yan was shocked by Xia Ling's outrageous remarks.
He had always followed his heart and never adhered to the rules.
However, Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed to let him make a promise that Xia Ling was the only one in the backyard.
"Your Highness, you asked me to make a wish. Then I made the promise. If Your Highness goes back on his words, I can't do anything about it. If that's the case, then just take it that everything I said is just a passing cloud, gone with the wind. "
Xia Ling stopped smiling and looked outside again.
The teahouse where she and Gu Yan were staying was the place where the prison carriage had to pass. After a period of noise, the prison carriage from Xia country had already been escorted over and sent to the heavenly prison to await punishment.
The people who had harmed her in her previous life.
Emperor Xia, his successors, and those nobles, all of them were present.
However, Xia Ling saw Xia Yu just now, but she did not see Xia Li.
That man who looked gentle and Tsinghua University, did he have a keen sense of smell and escape when a disaster was imminent?
Did Gu Yan let this prison cart parade through the streets just to force Xia Li out?
Xia Ling let her thoughts wander and thought a lot.
When the commotion had dispersed and Gu Yan was about to return to the manor, she stood up with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
She followed Gu Yan around, the princes were long and the princes were short, sweet and tender.
That unpleasant conversation was thus put to rest.
On the surface, it was calm and peaceful again.

Xia Ling knew that the regent Prince's Manor had originally arranged a banquet at the end of the year.
This banquet was organized by her and Li Yu together.
The banquet had been organized perfectly, and they had even invited the nobles of the capital. It was very obvious that they were interested in each other.
Therefore, Xia Ling could not wait any longer.
Returning to the regent King's mansion, Xia Ling packed some things and brought some silver notes that were easy to sell.
Everything was prepared in two ways. If Gu Yan really wanted to marry a princess consort, then she would have to do something about it.
Xia Ling definitely could not stay in this mansion any longer. She could not guarantee that she would not do anything to poison Gu Yan if she were to see Gu Yan kissing other people's women.
*
She had prepared everything discreetly.
On the other side, Gu Yan was still acting as usual on the surface. He was already seriously considering Xia Ling's words in his heart.
