The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Gao Yang was already in a state of collapse after her princess status was abolished. After hearing Yun Mujiu's words, she became even more furious. However, Yun Mujiu did not give Princess Gao Yang a chance to speak.

She let go of Ye Xiaohan's hand and walked a few steps to the kneeling Gao Yang. She gently patted Gao Yang's shoulder and looked down at him and said, "Gao Yang, don't be impatient. Let me tell you slowly."

How could Gao Yang not be anxious and speak? She opened her eyes wide, but when she struggled to speak, she found that her mouth could not move.

Yun Mujiu withdrew her hand from Gao Yang's shoulder and walked back to Ye Xiaohan's side. She had just used acupressure to "appease" Gao Yang. After all, she didn't want to waste time and energy listening to Gao Yang's nonsense.

The Emperor had never imagined Gao Yang had such a farcical past, and was also surprised. Thinking of Yun Mujiu's "crime of deceiving the emperor," his expression darkened even more. It was he who had issued the imperial decree granting Gao Yang and Cao Hanmo their marriage. Now some were saying it was a "marriage fraud," "deceiving the emperor," and "indiscriminate killing of innocent people." How could he, the Emperor, save his dignity?

Thinking of this, the emperor felt uneasy, even the cool blue and white porcelain cup in his hands felt scalding. He had originally thought that all his plans for today had failed, and at most he would have abandoned Gao Yang and his group, but he had never expected that he would be trapped even deeper.

Among the guests, there was no one who was not surprised.

In fact, most people didn't know there was such a reason behind Gao Yang and Cao Hanmo's marriage. They used to think that the two were in love, or that Gao Yang forced Cao Hanmo to marry, or that Gao Yang had some leverage over the Cao family, or that the Cao family needed Gao Yang's help in the officialdom, which led to the marriage of convenience...

They had never known that there was true love between them. They had no idea that Cao Hanmo's love for Gao Yang was out of gratitude for saving his life, and they had no idea that Cao Hanmo had been deceived and fell in love with the wrong person.

What they didn't know was that the reason Cao Hanmo agreed to marry Gao Yang was because he thought Gao Yang was pretending to be Cao Hanmo's savior.

Are you supposed to be able to hear these royal secrets? Under normal circumstances, hearing these secrets would result in beheading.

But when everyone turned around and saw the Night King and his wife looking calm and composed, they breathed a sigh of relief. The Night King and his wife had revealed so many important things, and they were just spectators listening. What difference did it make?

What's more, they couldn't help but feel that with the Night King and the Night Princess around, they inexplicably felt a sense of security in their hearts. The couple would definitely take revenge, but they didn't provoke this couple, so how could they be held accountable!

Yun Mujiu didn't know what everyone was thinking. She just acted as a lobbyist. Based on the information she and Ye Xiaohan had investigated, she explained the whole story about Gao Yang and Prince Consort Cao to Haolian Di and the others from beginning to end.

When Cao Hanmo was eight years old, he was kidnapped by horse thieves when he went out one day and was in danger for a while.

At that time, the Cao family was considered a well-known figure in the capital, but their status was not high enough to make thieves afraid to provoke them.

Once Cao Hanmo is alone, those thieves who want to kidnap rich young men will definitely not miss this opportunity.

Quickly, the horse thieves took Cao Hanmo out of the capital and ran to the deep mountains in the suburbs.

While the horse bandits were resting, Cao Hanmo, who was pretending to be sick, found an opportunity to escape and fled frantically through the mountains and forests.

When he lost his way, had little strength left, and was worried that the bandits behind him would catch up with him at any time.

He met a carriage on a small official road. Just before he fainted, he heard the clear, fairy-like voice of a little girl in the carriage.

"Mom, let's save that little brother. He must be in great trouble."

Because of the severe trauma, Cao Hanmo's mind was confused for a while and he could not remember anything from the moment he was rescued.

He only remembered that when he woke up again, he was already in Cao's house, surrounded by relatives and friends.

He vaguely told the story of how he was rescued, and the Cao family only found him sleeping at the door of Cao's house at dawn. He had no contact with the person who rescued him, and had no understanding of that benefactor at all.

Cao Hanmo only knew that it was a little girl who spoke out and saved him.

He searched for many years but couldn't find the little girl.

Soon, in his twenties, Cao Hanmo emerged in the capital with his talent and won the favor of many young ladies, but he had no intention of being moved.

Until one day, he met a beautiful woman on the streets of Beijing, who took the initiative to come forward and greet him.

Later, he learned that the gorgeous woman was Princess Gaoyang. However, for unknown reasons, the young princess had already lost three of her consorts. Even so, countless men still wanted to marry into her family.

Cao Hanmo was different from others. He had no grand ambitions for promotion or wealth, and maintained the talent that a scholar always had.

He politely declined Princess Gaoyang's advances several times, and was determined not to give Princess Gaoyang the opportunity to misunderstand that he was interested in him.

He originally thought that this would be enough to dispel Princess Gaoyang's thoughts on him, but unexpectedly, a turning point came one day.

Princess Gaoyang had Cao Hanmo found and excitedly revealed that she was the one who had saved him. She and her mother had left the palace to pray at a temple outside when they happened to run into the fugitive Cao Hanmo. Unable to bear the loss, she begged her mother to save Cao Hanmo.

They returned to the capital in a carriage and asked the doctor accompanying the group to treat Cao Hanmo on the way. Later, they heard that a family in the capital was looking for a missing little boy, and the information about the missing boy matched Cao Hanmo's situation.

Princess Gaoyang's mother was afraid that Gaoyang would be reluctant to part with the little boy as her playmate, so she did not tell Princess Gaoyang about Cao Hanmo's identity and secretly sent Cao Hanmo away without telling Princess Gaoyang.

Why couldn’t Princess Gaoyang find Cao Hanmo later?

It was because at a palace banquet not long after, Princess Gaoyang's father was assassinated in order to save Emperor Haolian. Princess Gaoyang's mother was too heartbroken to accompany her husband.

This is why Princess Gaoyang was so beloved by Emperor Haolian, because her father sacrificed his life to save him. Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that her father and mother died, and the people around her mother were buried with them. Princess Gaoyang was even less able to find the person she was obsessed with, Cao Hanmo.

Princess Gaoyang said that when she met Cao Hanmo by chance, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, and in the process of getting to know Cao Hanmo, she wanted to get to know him better. After careful investigation, she accidentally discovered that Cao Hanmo was the person she was looking for!

Why was Cao Hanmo previously unsuccessful? This was also related to the closed-door management of the Cao residence. After Cao Hanmo's return from his disappearance, the Cao family was extremely cautious, not daring to release the news that he had been rescued by kind-hearted individuals. They also diligently concealed Cao Hanmo's presence in the capital, fearing he would be kidnapped again. Consequently, Princess Gaoyang had no chance to locate Cao Hanmo.

Now I finally found it, it can be said to be fate.

But is it really "fate" or "conspiracy"?
