The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

506 Domineering Jiaojiao (One More)

As these words were spoken, the old Marquis could almost imagine Gu Changqing's reaction; it was so heart-wrenching that he simply turned his face away.

The truth cannot be hidden forever, yet when the moment truly arrived, the turmoil and struggle were still immense.

Gu Changqing was completely petrified, and the whole room fell into a deathly silence.

The old Marquis felt that he should say something, but he was not very good at making small talk, especially not at offering comfort.

Besides, comforting a stranger is one thing, but for someone like him, comforting a loved one always felt a bit awkward.

In fact, the scheme, or rather the trap, had been laid since before Empress Dowager Jing entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Jing was a loyalist of the former dynasty. Her encounter with the old Marquis, which resulted in her being saved from bandits by him, later turned out to be a premeditated conspiracy.
