My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Qiu Ning didn't dare to gamble. Before he shouted the last word, he hurriedly gestured to the people in Mingyue Villa. Then, he saw everyone retreat and stand a hundred meters away.

"I have already asked them to come here. Your Highness, should you also follow your promise and release the Sixth Prince first?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, King Yong directly changed his mind.

"What a joke! If I let him go, who will let me go?"

"It's worth it to be able to drag a few people down with me before I die..."

However, before he could finish his words, something unexpected happened at the scene.

There was a "pop" sound.

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh suddenly rang out.

Everyone quickly looked away. It turned out that a sharp arrow had flown from nowhere and pierced King Yong's back, with the arrow almost one-third of the way in. This showed that the archer had great strength.

At this time, everyone saw that Gu Li had secretly arrived at the scene at some point, riding on a tall horse with the longbow in his hand fully drawn.

Who is the person shooting the arrow? The answer is self-evident.

"General Gu, General Gu is here."

"Great, we are saved!"

Someone in the crowd started cheering, and then cheers came one after another.

When everyone saw Gu Li, it was like they saw a savior.

On this side, after being shot by an arrow, King Yong staggered and almost fell.

Dense pain began to spread from the back.

However, before he could react, Gu Li's guards had already opened the city wall, and Gu Li rushed up with several people.

In the blink of an eye, a sword was placed across King Yong's neck.

"Give up, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Prince Yong closed his eyes in despair.

……

Once the rebels were eliminated, a bloody storm soon broke out in the court. The emperor, Gu Li and others had already secretly obtained evidence against the officials who had been bribed by Prince Yong, and took this opportunity to eradicate his forces.

The most surprising person is none other than Guo Yian.

Previously, he was punished to the western suburbs camp because of several crimes committed by Prime Minister Guo. However, this time when Prince Yong rebelled, he had the merit of saving the emperor. The emperor no longer pursued the past affairs of the Guo family and wanted to reward him according to his merits.

Finally, he asked to guard the border.

Finally, five days later, he set off for the border on his horse and he never returned to the capital again in his life.

As for the family of the rebel Prince Yong, Murong Zhi, the princess consort, was sentenced to asceticism at the Huguo Temple. Qiu Yao, implicated for bearing Prince Yong's bloodline, was imprisoned in the Criminal Court. The emperor, mindful of his son's youth, demoted him to a commoner and transferred him to the orphanage in the capital, where he was cared for by a dedicated guardian.

A month later, the queen was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace for framing the concubines and their children.

Not long after, the prince fell off his horse during a horse-riding and archery competition, breaking his leg and becoming disabled for life.

The Queen was shocked to hear the tragic news and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. She murmured, "It seems that His Majesty knew about this all along."

Not long after, the queen died of illness in the cold palace. Before she died, the emperor went to see her. The palace servants didn't know what they talked about in there. They only heard the queen's despairing self-deprecation and words like "You knew it a long time ago."

Not long after the emperor left, the queen died.

A year later, Imperial Concubine Wan Rongyue ascended the throne, and the Sixth Prince was named Crown Prince for his outstanding performance.

Everything was settled, and soon the day of the marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion arrived.

The Empress issued a decree for this wedding, which was organized by the Ministry of Rites. The Empress even left the palace in person to attend the ceremony at the Prime Minister's residence. The wedding was exceptionally grand and luxurious. Qiu Ning's dowry alone weighed a full 108 pieces. It was truly the envy of others.

That night, the guests at the banquet gradually dispersed, and Gu Li, with a slightly drunken step, soon arrived at the bridal chamber.

The big red wedding candles swayed in the night breeze, and the light and shadows swayed on the wall, as if adding a bit of charm to the atmosphere of this new night.

He raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. The room was filled with rich incense, which was Qiu Ning's favorite smell. Now the room was full of fragrance, but it made his heart inexplicably tighten.

Qiu Ning, dressed in a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, sat upright by the bed. Her delicate body trembled slightly at the sound. Gu Li slowly approached, the candlelight illuminating his angular face. His eyes, a mixture of intoxication and affection, were like a pool of melting spring water.

"Madam," he called softly, his voice a little hoarse from drunkenness.

He stretched out his hand to lift the veil directly. At this time, Yueya coughed lightly and reminded him, "Sir, this veil needs to be weighed with a scale, which means satisfaction."

After this reminder, Gu Li remembered that there was such a link and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Next, he picked up the scale bar beside him and lifted the veil. Qiu Ning's lotus-like face soon appeared before him, causing his breath to pause for a moment.

Yueya on the side couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of her mouth and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Qiu Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of her eyes.

Afterwards, the two drank the wedding wine, and Yueya and the others smiled and left. The room was filled with fragrance, and only the two newlyweds remained.

Gu Li looked at Qiu Ning with a pair of affectionate eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, and said slowly: "Madam, I finally married you!"
