Chao Yunxuan is a person of destiny, and Gu Zhiyi's prediction of her face is beyond her reach. She is not interested in Chao Yunxuan's whereabouts, and after sending away the curious Du Ziheng, she begins to ponder another matter that haunts her.
Gu Zhiyi only wanted to be a bystander in her life, staying away from the disputes of love, hate and hatred of others. However, her current identity has become her original sin.
She didn't take those difficulties seriously, because she always had a way to easily resolve them. But there was one thing that made her feel very unhappy.
Those distinguished nobles would often demand people to bow and kneel, and some even tried to humiliate her by requiring her to kneel for a long time, which made her extremely unhappy.
She could kneel down to worship the heaven and earth, the king, her family and her master, but what was the Eighth Sage King? He was nothing but a hypocrite and a love-brained person.
In her previous life, she helped Ji Yinli to be invincible. After Ji Yinli gained power, his status was far higher than that of the love-brained Eighth Sage King. As a princess of a different surname and a first-rank imperial lady, she enjoyed the privilege of not having to perform formalities for anyone other than the emperor and empress.
If one day she really had to kneel down before this hypocrite, she would probably feel so sick that she would want to vomit.
As a disciple of Tianji Sect, she would never surrender.
She was determined not to kneel down to this hypocrite, so in this era, the only way to get rid of the shackles of frequent kneeling was to improve her own status and make herself equal to the other party.
Gu Zhiyi stroked his chin and suddenly remembered that next month was the emperor’s birthday.
In her previous life, although she was not in the capital, she clearly remembered a major event that happened in the capital: on the day of the birthday banquet, an assassin suddenly appeared.
She also knew that Chao Yunxuan was rewarded for her heroic rescue of the emperor, and the emperor made an exception and appointed her as the female Jingji Guard, giving her the important position of inspector of the Jingji Guard.
In the court, although this inspector was only a figurehead, he actually did what he wanted. He would take up the post when he felt like it, and when he didn't feel like it, he could spend his days leisurely at home and still receive his salary.
A hundred years ago, the Princess Protector of the Nation bravely set a precedent for women to enter officialdom. Since then, generations of female officials have worked tirelessly to increase the number of female faces in the court. However, so far, no woman has ever been involved in the ranks of the Imperial Guards, let alone received such an undeserved honor.
Although many people have discussed this phenomenon, no one who wants to follow in his footsteps has succeeded. This is because who has the courage and merit to exchange their life for glory?
Indeed, Chao Yunxuan blocked the assassin's fatal blow to the emperor with her own body. At that thrilling moment, her body became the emperor's shield. The emperor was deeply moved. Regardless of the jealousy of the harem and the objections of the courtiers, he resolutely gave Chao Yunxuan this unique honor and power. This position of supervisor was an official position tailored by the emperor for Chao Yunxuan. Before this, it was unprecedented. Its status was second only to the commander of the Jingji Guard, so the original deputy commander of the Jingji Guard had to be demoted to the third in command.
As a result, the couple's attitude towards Chao Yunxuan changed significantly. Although the past grudges were deep and difficult to resolve, they did not completely oppose Chao Yunxuan and Xie Xun's marriage. It was not until Xie Xun won the right to run an independent business through his own efforts that the old couple had to compromise and no longer hinder their love.
Gu Zhiyi had no interest in using her body to protect the emperor from disaster. She remembered clearly that the assassins were like bloodthirsty wolves, and once their daggers were exposed, they would reveal their ferocious fangs. Their target was the emperor, as well as all the dignitaries in the capital and their families. Fortunately, the emperor and the dignitaries had reliable guards and reacted quickly, but many innocent people still died because they were not able to react in time. If this disaster could be eliminated from the beginning, then those innocent lives would not have been lost.
With such a great achievement, the emperor should grant her a noble first-class imperial decree, right? She did not ask for much, she did not need the heavy salary, nor did she crave for real power, she only wanted a symbolic title.
As for whether she had taken away the credit from Chao Yunxuan, Gu Zhiyi didn't care. Since Chao Yunxuan could openly take away other people's merits and disturb her peaceful life from time to time, she naturally wouldn't have any psychological burden. She was determined to get this imperial edict.
At this moment, Gu Zhiping was also thinking deeply about the various doubts about the assassin in her heart.
In her memories of her previous life, she personally experienced the assassination attempt on the emperor.
Unfortunately, she was too far away from the emperor at that time. Even if she had found an excuse to sit next to the emperor, she lacked enough courage and martial arts to use her flesh and blood to block the fatal blow for the emperor.
Instead, that despicable Chao Yunxuan took advantage and stole the honor of saving the emperor!
Although Chao Yunxuan is no longer her emotional rival in this life, the grudges accumulated in previous lives will not disappear with the passage of time.
She hated Gu Zhiyi, who had deprived her of ten years of precious time, and she bore an even greater grudge against Chao Yunxuan, who had made her the target of public criticism in her previous life and ultimately led to her death!
She was determined to take credit for saving the emperor no matter what!
She was deeply confused, not knowing what had happened in this life. A long time had passed, but Ji Yinli still hadn't cleared out the many concubines in her backyard. What's worse, two of the women had become pregnant before her, and Ji Yinli even allowed those women to bully her.
What hurt her the most was that Ji Yinli showed no signs of making a name for himself or establishing a career!
Even when she reminded him that he should do something, he responded with a blank look, as if it was absurd for her to let a well-known good-for-nothing playboy like him go to the battlefield.
In addition, her mother-in-law is also a weird existence. Ji Yinli's possessiveness is incredibly strong, and she even interferes in their sexual life.
However, when Gu Zhiyi got married, the situation in her previous life was completely different from this!
Since she couldn't rely on Ji Yinli for the time being, she decided to rely on herself.
She had already planned that once the plan was accomplished, she would not only receive ten thousand taels of gold, but also a gold medal to demonstrate her dignity and majesty.
She wanted to see who else dared to act arrogantly in front of her.
Whether it was Gu Zhiyi, Chao Yunxuan, or those women who became pregnant earlier than the mistress, she would eliminate them one by one!
Leave no one behind!
At the same time, Chao Yunxuan also had the same idea.
As a time traveler, she still remembers the rescue scene vividly.
After all, this was a major turning point in the life of Xie Xun's ruthless ex-wife.
Before rescuing the emperor, although Xie Xun doted on her and Duke Ningguo and his wife also took good care of her, she was always a laughing stock in the capital because she was not valued by the Yu family.
However, after saving the emperor, the dignitaries in the capital all looked at her with new eyes because of her status as "the emperor's savior", and even praised her and Xie Xun as a perfect match.
It was just a lucky break.
The credit for saving the emperor?
She was determined to win.
