"What truth?" Xiao Lan asked evasively.

"Then let's just watch him get beaten to death." Gu Qianyue's cold voice came.

Xiao Lan knew Qianqian was very smart, but she didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. Or maybe Qianqian already knew it, but just didn't bother to ask before. This time in the capital, so it was full of dangers, so Qianqian wanted to ask clearly.

"Let me tell you." Xiao Lan said after hesitating for a long time.

After I woke up, I got another bit of data. It showed that as long as I asked you to do more good deeds, you could accumulate merits, and then I could get a lot of energy and even transform. I thought it wouldn't have any effect on your money, so I asked you to keep saving strangers.

"Weren't you doing good deeds before?" Gu Qianyue said with a frown.

"Although giving out porridge can accumulate energy, it's too slow." Xiao Lan muttered softly.

Gu Qianyue understood that it began to be greedy for this world and did not want to be just cold data anymore.

"I understand. Where is the eldest princess's secret passage?" Gu Qianyue said.

"Qianqian, are you angry?" Xiaolan asked.

But Gu Qianyue didn't answer, so Xiao Lan went to investigate the eldest princess's secret passage.

Afterwards, Gu Qianyue followed Xiao Lan's real-time monitoring and arrived at the eldest princess's secret passage without any obstruction.

Hanging on the wall are various parts of the human body. Going further in, there are exquisite human heads soaked in special water. Each one of them looks good, but they were brutally killed and tortured, and were soaked here with their eyes open after dying.

"They are so miserable?" Xiao Lan said.

Gu Qianyue walked around calmly, took out kerosene from the space and sprinkled it all over the basement.

Xiao Lan looked at Qian Qian's movements and knew that she must have remembered what she was like in the laboratory in her previous life.

"You must keep an eye on the old man's location. It will be convenient to find him later." Gu Qianyue ordered.

Afterwards, Gu Qianyue walked outside and sprinkled kerosene all over the Rejoice Palace inside and out, determined to burn the entire palace down.

At this time, no one reacted and everyone was drowsy.

There was also the dying Old Man Zhang. Finally, the father-in-law saw that he was almost dying and really didn't want to kill anyone, so he took his men away and left Old Man Zhang lying on the ground.

Gu Qianyue turned over and entered the eldest princess's bedroom again, knocked the eldest princess and the man on the bed unconscious, and knocked the candlestick to the ground. Instantly, flames broke out, and the flames spread along the direction where Gu Qianyue poured the oil, and the entire Rejoice Palace was surrounded by fire.

The guards were all awakened and called for help to put out the fire and rescue people.

Gu Qianyue fed the spiritual water to Old Man Zhang, then carried him away with one hand.

When the eldest princess was rescued, she was naked and seen by everyone. Everyone knew that the eldest princess was having fun.

The prince was confined to the Eastern Palace, and his daughter's naked body was seen by the imperial guards.

The queen was angry and annoyed, and broke many things in the palace.

The emperor was quite worried when he heard about the fire in the eldest princess' palace just after he reviewed the memorials. Unexpectedly, he heard after a while that it was because the eldest princess played too much and knocked over the candlestick. So he smashed the cup with the dragon painted on it.

He was so angry that he was shaking. Finally, the eunuch asked the imperial physician to come and calm the emperor down.

When they got outside the palace, Gu Qianyue left Old Man Zhang to the secret guards.

"Master, who is this?" asked the secret guard.

Gu Qianyue didn't answer but just asked him to follow her, and then they arrived at the backyard of Prince Ming's Mansion.

Mu Feng sensed an intruder and quickly used his Qinggong to chase after him. Unexpectedly, it was Gu Qianyue, so he bowed and said, "I wonder what Miss Gu San is doing visiting Prince Ming's Mansion so late at night?"

"It's you! Go and tell your master that you're here to discuss business. If you miss this chance, you'll never have another chance." Gu Qianyue said with a smile.

Mu Feng stood in his original position without moving, and just ordered the secret guard to call.

"Prince, are you asleep?" asked the secret guard.

Before Mu Huo could speak, Jiang Yubai's voice came, "What's the matter?"

The secret guard bowed and said, "Master Mu Feng asked me to tell you that Miss Gu San came to visit you late at night, and she brought a scarred man with her. She said she wanted to discuss business with you, the prince."

When Jiang Yubai heard that Gu Qianyue was coming to visit, and brought the old man with her, he asked Mu Huo to come in and help her dress, and then hurried to the pavilion of Prince Ming's Mansion.

I saw Gu Qianyue sitting on a stone bench next to the pavilion, with her chin in her hand, her eyes motionless, and no one knew what she was looking at.

"Qianqian, Jiang Yubai is here." Xiaolan reminded.

Gu Qianyue looked at the man who was rushing over and raised her hand to block what he was about to say.

Then he pointed at the person in the secret guard's hand and said, "The person you want to save is here."

Jiang Yubai followed Gu Qianyue's hand and saw the old man.

Then he ran forward, but was stopped by the secret guard with a knife, and Mu Feng also drew his sword.

Jiang Yubai turned around and looked at Gu Qianyue and said, "How much silver do you want?"

"You are not allowed to reveal my identity?" He then told the secret guard to release the person and left.

The secret guard wanted to throw the man out, but Jiang Yubai said with a trembling voice: "Don't throw him out, he can't bear it, I'll pick him up."

"My master asked me to tell you that he was found in the Grand Princess's Palace. Remember to change his identity." The secret guard said this and left.

Jiang Yubai held his grandfather in his arms and shouted to Mu Huo, "Call the doctor quickly. No, call Jiang Weizhou."

When Zhang Shiying heard that her father had been brought back, she also rushed to Jiang Yubai's dormitory. Her eyes instantly turned red and she trembled as she held her father's hand and said, "Father, I am an unfilial daughter. You must hold on."

Jiang Yubai was urging Yang Weizhou to come.

Yang Weizhou was being carried by Mu Feng as he ran here. His whole body was in disarray in the wind and he didn't know where he was.

Seeing that his eyes were blank, Jiang Yubai kicked him and said, "Wake up quickly and save people."

Yang Weizhou was kicked and screamed with grimace in his teeth, and was then pulled in front of his grandfather by Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai helped his mother to make room, and at this time King Ming also came.

"Grandfather, you're not feeling well, why don't you take a good rest?" Jiang Yubai said.

"It's okay. How's Lao Zhang?" Ming Wangdao said.

"Still taking the pulse." Jiang Yubai asked Mu Huo to move a chair for his mother and grandfather to sit on.

Yang Weizhou shook his head and sighed while feeling Jiang Yubai's pulse. Jiang Yubai said speechlessly, "What's going on? Just tell me."

He looked at his wife and then at King Ming and said, "He has suffered too much damage and has many hidden injuries. He can only recover slowly. As for how long he can live, it depends on fate."

Both the mother and grandfather breathed a sigh of relief, and were then rushed to the outer room by Yang Weizhou, as he needed to help the old man bandage his wounds.

After bandaging the wound, Yang Weizhou said tiredly, "I'll stay here tonight. He'll be fine once his fever goes away."

Then he looked at Jiang Yubai and said, "Did this old man take some magic medicine before?"

Jiang Yubai looked at him in confusion, and his wife asked nervously, "Does my father have any other questions?"

"No, Madam, don't be nervous." Yang Weizhou comforted. "I was just saying that the old man was so badly injured and no one bandaged his wounds, so he would have bled to death. But I don't know what he ate, but it saved his life and healed his internal injuries."

"This?" The lady was a little confused and looked at Jiang Yubai.

"Yubai, who is that?" asked the King Ming.

Jiang Yubai nodded, and the lady then remembered who it was.

Yang Weizhou was so anxious that he jumped up and down and said, "No, who are you talking about, Jiang Yubai?"

"Okay, go to the warehouse tomorrow and pick whatever you want." Jiang Yubai pushed away Yang Weizhou's big face that was leaning towards him and said.

The next day, at noon, the officials returned to their homes, and with them came the imperial edict.

Tufu's Mansion!

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The daughter of Grand Tutor He, He is eloquent, graceful, kind, honest, and of outstanding character and appearance. The Empress and I are very pleased to hear this.

To thank His Majesty for the gift, the Grand Tutor also ordered his servants to give silver to the eunuch.

At this time, the Taifu Mansion was full of joy, and they ordered their servants to give porridge to the people, saying that it was to thank His Majesty.

As for the Gu Mansion.

Everyone in the Gu family, big and small, knelt in the hall, even Gu Meng was wearing a veil. Only Gu Qianyue bowed and waited for the eunuch to read the imperial edict.

When the eunuch saw that they were all kneeling, he read out the imperial edict.

The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that having heard that Gu Meng is virtuous, gentle, honest, and of outstanding character and appearance and is still waiting to be married, he hereby betroths her to the Crown Prince as his concubine, and chooses an auspicious day for the wedding.
