The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

The Emperor Tianqi, who was originally angry, suddenly turned his anger into joy. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and his eyes became kind when he looked at Gu Lingyue.

It seems that this is God's will, this girl is really destined to be with Shang'er.

He was still pondering in his mind how to deal with them, but now that his son had woken up because of the wedding, he decided to let them off the hook.

But even if the bride exchange was not done intentionally by the people in the Gu Mansion, it was still Gu Shuo's fault. Not to mention whether it was intentional or not, everyone knew it.

The people in his ancient mansion were so bold that they dared to disobey his orders. Even if he was not punished, he still had to be punished.

Otherwise, if everyone disobeys him by making mistakes in the future, how can he continue to be the emperor?

So, Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly and looked at Gu Shuo with a stern look in his eyes, "Gu Shuo!"

"Your humble servant is here." Gu Shuo said quickly with his head lowered.

After listening to Gu Lingyue's words, he roughly guessed what had happened.

He didn't expect that Liu was so bold as to disobey the emperor's order.

But at this time he could only pretend that he knew nothing. Just like what his daughter Yue'er said, it was the negligence of the servants that caused the two sisters to get on the wrong sedan chair. Otherwise, his Gu Mansion could not afford the crime of disobeying the emperor's order.

However, his daughter, who had always been willful and reckless, actually understood the priorities today, which made him very relieved.

"As the prime minister of a country, you actually allowed such a big mistake to occur in the harem. What crime should you be punished for?" Emperor Tianqi asked in a cold voice.

As the emperor of a country, his majesty cannot be challenged by others.

"It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and can't manage my backyard well." Gu Shuo kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"You also know that you are incompetent?" The Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly, his words hinting at something more. "Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. As the Prime Minister of Tianqi, you can't even manage your own harem, how can you help me govern the entire court?"

"I acknowledge my guilt." Gu Shuo prostrated himself on the ground with his head lowered, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Although he was the prime minister of a country, his mother had the final say in all matters in the mansion.

He was a student from a poor family and his father passed away early. It was his mother who raised him with great difficulty and paid for his studies. This is what enabled him to achieve what he has today. Therefore, he is very filial to his mother and listens to her.

There were always a lot of troubles in the mansion, but he always turned a blind eye to them, including his mother's request to make Liu a co-wife and to take back his wife's housekeeping power. He knew that his wife was wronged, but he had no choice. He couldn't disobey his mother, so this caused the couple to become estranged, and in the end...

Thinking of this, Gu Shuo felt very upset.

Those things were all their own private affairs behind closed doors, but he never dared to imagine that this time, Liu would be so bold as to disobey the order. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor and it was a matter of losing her head. Fortunately, this time his Yue'er was smart and did not make a fuss. As for Prince Xing, he thought Yan'er had already made arrangements, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can't even manage your own harem properly, causing such a ridiculous thing to happen. You should be punished even more severely..." He looked at Gu Lingyue, "But considering that you have been diligent in your position for so many years and raised such a smart daughter like Miss Gu, I will give you a lighter sentence.

Prime Minister Gu Shuo, your rank will be demoted to four, and your salary will be fined for one year. Starting tomorrow, you will take up your post at the Ministry of Rites."

Gu Shuo was stunned when he heard this. The emperor said that considering that he had been diligent in his duties over the years, he would give him a lighter sentence. He could understand that, after all, this matter was a big deal, but what did it have to do with his Yue'er?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the emperor was originally very angry, but after Eunuch Gao came in and said something to the emperor, the emperor suddenly changed his attitude.

Is it...

What Eunuch Gao said is related to Yue'er?

Thinking of this, Gu Shuo looked up and secretly glanced at Emperor Tianqi.

He found that the emperor was looking at his daughter with complicated eyes.

It seems that this matter is really related to my daughter. Although I don’t know what it is, it is definitely not a bad thing.

So, Gu Shuo felt relieved, cursed Liu a thousand times in his heart, and kowtowed to Emperor Tianqi to express his gratitude.

No matter what, my life is saved now, and I can deal with the rest later.

"Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order."

Gu Lingyue curled her lips when she heard this.

I never thought the Emperor's leniency in sending the Prime Minister to his residence was due to her involvement. And was this Conghui really referring to her? The original owner was a well-known idiot in the capital, wasn't she?!

Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Shuo again and waved his hand, "You can leave first."

Gu Shuo glanced at Gu Lingyue who was kneeling there, and knowing that Emperor Tianqi would not make things difficult for her, he said goodbye and left.

After Gu Shuo left, Emperor Tianqi asked Gu Lingyue to stand up as well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Gu Lingyue got up, she couldn't help but rub her knees with her hands.

It seems that I need to start exercising as soon as possible. My body looks fine, but I can’t bear it after kneeling for a while.

Seeing this, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Master, give Yue a seat."

"Yes."

Gao Ming moved a chair over, and Gu Lingyue was a little flattered.

She really didn't understand why someone who was shouting for war just now would now give her a seat, which made her have to be cautious.

However, as long as she has a place to sit, she won't let herself be wronged.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

After thanking him, she sat down confidently.

When Emperor Tianqi saw Gu Lingyue again, she looked calm and composed, not frightened or trembling like other girls, and his opinion of her became better.

"Girl Yue, I'm sorry that you've been wronged in this matter, but now that things have come to this, what are you going to do?" Emperor Tianqi looked like he was very easy to talk to.

Gu Lingyue couldn't guess what the Emperor Tianqi meant. However, she still stood up and said, "Everything is up to the Emperor."

She thought that since she had married Gongji, she was still the princess consort of Prince Jing after all, and Emperor Tianqi would not marry her off to anyone else.

His son couldn't afford to lose face, and he couldn't afford to lose face either.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi smiled brightly, "Then I will marry you to Prince Jing and make you the Princess of Jing. What do you think?"

In fact, if he wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Gu family to his Shang'er, he didn't need to ask for her consent at all, but after what happened yesterday, he still wanted to hear Gu Lingyue's opinion.

"Your Majesty is willing." Gu Lingyue originally planned to be Prince Jing's wife for the time being, so she didn't hesitate and said it directly.

"Good! Good!" Emperor Tianqi said "good" twice in a row. "I will have Gao Ming deliver the imperial decree granting the marriage to Prince Jing's mansion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Gu Lingyue did not kneel this time, but just bowed, and Emperor Tianqi did not care.

"Hahaha~" Emperor Tianqi laughed loudly, and then said: "Reward Princess Jing with ten thousand taels of gold, a pair of jade ruyi, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a number of precious jewels..."

He simply changed the name, and the emperor was very pleased.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Lingyue didn't expect that she would get so many treasures just by agreeing to marry a living dead.

How could she know that Emperor Tianqi rewarded her with so many things because she had brought Long Shang back to life.

The more Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Lingyue, the more he liked her. So he asked, "Princess Jing, if there is anything else you want, please tell me."

Hearing this, Gu Lingyue's eyes turned and she immediately asked, "Anything is fine?"

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "If you want my kingdom, I will definitely not agree to it."

This sentence seems like a joke, but only Emperor Tianqi knows it.

Prince Jing is now awake, and Gu Lingyue's maternal grandparents hold military power, and his father used to be the prime minister. He is using this method to warn them so that they won't have any inappropriate thoughts in the future.

Gu Lingyue sighed inwardly. This is the tragedy of a monarchical society.

However, she still said calmly, "I dare not. I just want the emperor to promise me one thing."

"Oh? Tell me what's the matter." Emperor Tianqi asked with satisfaction when he saw that she was sensible and did not ask for exorbitant prices.

"Your Majesty, I haven't thought of anything yet. Could you please keep this condition for now and discuss it later?"

If the original owner's mother is willing, if Gu Shuo disagrees, she is prepared to use this condition to help her divorce.

So I have to ask her mother first before I can tell Emperor Tianqi.

What she didn't expect was that her mother didn't use this condition, but in the end she was allowed to use it.

Emperor Tianqi said happily, "Alright, but you can't call me Emperor anymore. You have to call me Father."

"Yes, father." Gu Lingyue followed suit and called out cheerfully.

Emperor Tianqi nodded in satisfaction, "Haven't you gone to offer tea to your mother and grandmother yet?"

"not yet."

"Go quickly, don't keep them waiting."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gao Ming who was standing beside him and said, "Send Shang'er's wife out."

"Yes."

Gu Lingyue followed Gao Ming out of the imperial study and happened to meet Long Jun and Gu Youyan walking towards them, with Xinghua following behind them.

After saying goodbye to Gao Ming, Gu Lingyue walked forward with Yun Jin. When she passed Gu Youyan and Long Jun, Gu Youyan glanced at Long Jun beside her. Her eyes turned away, she stopped, and called out to Gu Lingyue with an apologetic look, "Sister..."

Gu Youyan's eyes were red, and she lowered her voice as if she had suffered a great injustice, "I apologize to you for what happened yesterday. It was all my fault. But who would have thought that we sisters would get into the wrong sedan chair? Maybe this is God's will. Please forgive me."

Looking at her pretentious appearance, Gu Lingyue felt sick.

She saw Long Jun looking at her unkindly, and immediately understood something. Then she glanced at Gao Ming behind her and whispered meaningfully, "Sister, please stop talking like that. I'm not an unreasonable person. If you had told me directly that you and the prince were in love and had already decided to spend your lives together, I wouldn't be the kind of person who wouldn't help you.

But you swindled something on the wedding day, not only making people laugh, but most importantly, you disobeyed the emperor's order. If the emperor knew about it..."

Having said that, seeing Gu Youyan's changed expression, Gu Lingyue sneered, "Now look what has happened! Not only is the Prime Minister's Mansion almost destroyed in your hands, but if the Emperor hadn't been merciful and only demoted my father's official rank, you would have committed a serious crime."

Hearing Gu Lingyue's words, Gu Youyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the emperor would demote her father's official position. She thought that Prince Xing agreed to take the blame on her, and her father would at most be fined some salary. But now that her father was demoted, she thought she would definitely be the one to be punished.

Moreover, if Eunuch Gao heard that she and Prince Xing had secretly communicated with each other before they got married, and told the emperor about it, she would really be charged with disobeying the emperor's order.

Although I know that this bitch will not make a big deal out of this, after all, she is also the daughter of the Gu family. If the Gu family is guilty, she will not be in any good situation. But I am afraid that she will get angry and yell.

The more she thought about it, the more upset Gu Youyan became. She shouldn't have spoken so rashly to this bitch.

Looking at Gu Lingyue who looked at her with a calm expression, her face flushed with anger, but she couldn't lose her temper at this moment. In the end, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry..."

Gu Lingyue saw that there was anger in Gu Youyan's eyes at first, but she managed to hold it back in the end. She couldn't help but admire her.

But she had been pretending to be innocent. She was a little annoyed and couldn't help but say, "If you really feel sorry for me, how about we switch back?"

Gu Youyan: ...

"How can this be possible? I..." She looked at Long Jun beside her, her face flushed with shame, "The prince and I have already entered the bridal chamber, how can I marry Prince Jing?"

"Then just shut up. Why are you pretending in front of me? Do you think I should thank you for stealing my marriage?" Gu Lingyue said sarcastically.

"Sister, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..." Gu Youyan said with tears in her eyes, cursing Gu Lingyue a thousand times in her heart.

If the place wasn't wrong and Prince Xing wasn't by her side, how could she allow herself to be humiliated like this by this bitch.

Gu Lingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Please call me Princess Jing from now on."

She listened to her sisters calling her on her left and right affectionately, but she felt a chill in her heart as she was calculating herself.

Gu Youyan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Gu Lingyue in surprise, "You...what do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says! Don't you understand?" Gu Lingyue said indifferently.

"My mother only gave birth to me and my brother, but she didn't have another daughter. Please don't yell at me."

Gu Youyan's face turned pale. She tugged tightly at the embroidered handkerchief in her sleeve with her hands, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. With a hurt expression on her face, she looked at Gu Lingyue in disbelief, her eyes full of tears.

This bitch...

This bitch...

I am obviously my father's biological daughter. Why can she be my father's daughter openly, while I can only be an adopted daughter brought up by my mother?

Long Jun felt extremely distressed when he saw Gu Youyan like this. He angrily shouted in a low voice, "Gu Lingyue, don't be shameless. Yan'er has already apologized to you, what else do you want.

It was my decision not to marry you, and it has nothing to do with Yan'er. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me, don't target Yan'er, or I will not forgive you."

Yun Jin was very angry when she heard Long Ao say this about Gu Lingyue, but now she was at the door of the imperial study, and she was afraid that if she went forward, it would cause trouble for her princess. However, she thought that Prince Xing would not dare to take action here, he was just talking vent.

She wrote down the words that Prince Xing used to scold her princess, and when she got home she told her prince to deal with this ignorant guy.

When Gu Lingyue heard what Long Jun said, he snorted in his heart. Gu Youyan came to help him because she couldn't win the argument. Did she think she was easy to bully?

Gu Lingyue then showed a hurt expression on her face and complained loudly, "Seventh Brother, you...how can you speak like that? Although the Emperor had previously granted me marriage to you, I have let it go after you said yesterday that you and Concubine Gu had already had your wedding night.

Besides, now that I'm your Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law, it's even more impossible for me to be angry about what happened yesterday. But you're humiliating me like this now. Is it because your Fourth Imperial Brother hasn't woken up yet that you're so reckless and disrespectful of me, your Imperial Sister-in-law?"

As she spoke, she wiped away her non-existent tears with her sleeve and glanced in the direction of the imperial study. Her threatening gesture was obvious.

"You..." Long Jun was so angry that he couldn't speak.

How could there be such a shameless person in the world? Didn't she just say she wanted to exchange it back? Now she's denying it?

"Don't call me that. I'm Prince Jing's Consort, you should call me Fourth Emperor's Sister-in-law.

If you continue to disrespect your brother and sister-in-law, I will go in and tell my father that you are disrespectful to your elders." Gu Lingyue said in a low voice with disdain.

Seeing that they had no upper hand here, Gu Youyan regretted calling out to this bitch.

Long Jun wanted to say something more, but they were not far from the entrance of the imperial study. Gu Youyan was afraid that if she angered Gu Lingyue, she would end up in a desperate situation. She quickly tugged at Long Jun's sleeve and said to Gu Lingyue with a hurt expression, "I was rude just now. Please rest assured, Princess Jing, I will remember your instructions."

Gu Lingyue snorted coldly, "It's best to remember." After that, she glanced at the apricot blossoms behind them and left with Yunjin.
