After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Everything was under Xie Shuheng's control, so he wasn't anxious at all; he had even planned out what to do next.

The only one who's feeling bad right now is Gu Wanqing.

Now these Turks have seized on her treasonous act, and they are all utterly repulsive, their appearances even more so. They actually intend to manipulate her.

She sat in her magnificent palace, but felt only coldness around her.

Even after Gu Wanzhi died, there wasn't a single person to talk to.

"Get out, all of you. I want to be alone."

She really needed some peace and quiet; her mind was a mess, and she had no idea what these Turks meant.

The palace maid whom Gu Wanqing trusted most also died.

She grabbed one at random: "You, go ask the Turks if they have time to see me alone!"

"But if the Emperor sees this... he'll probably misunderstand," the palace maid warned.

The main reason is that the palace maid went to see Xie Shuheng earlier by swaggering through the secret passage. This is because the emperor trusts Gu Wanqing too much, and the generals around her also know that the people around Gu Wanqing are all opportunistic.

Therefore, no one disagreed.

Now, Gu Wanqing can't possibly learn to keep a low profile right away.

"No need. I climbed to where I am today so that the people around me can do whatever they want without any problems, whether it's me or anyone else."

Gu Wanqing said, "This power is ours to use as we please. So do you. If you want to beat someone up or deal with others, feel free to use my power. I've always only wanted one thing: for all of you to be at my service!"

When he said this, the palace maids and eunuchs were clearly excited.

It's truly rare to find such a sentence.

They all knelt down and said, "We swear to serve the Imperial Concubine to the death."

Hehe, Gu Wanqing felt that she had done nothing wrong. She was just using the emperor's favor to scheme for herself. What was wrong with that?

Since we can't get in touch with Xie Shuheng, we'll have to rely on ourselves.

She believed she could survive by starting anew and adapting to changing circumstances, no matter the environment, because that was her unique ability.

After sending someone to deliver the message

Gu Wanqing waited anxiously in her palace.

Soon, the maid came running over, looking travel-worn: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine."

"Those Turks said that you should take good care of Princess Jinxiu."

"I don't want Princess Jinxiu to make any mistakes."

“If this isn’t what they want to see, you will be held responsible.”

Gu Wanqing nodded, wondering what was so special about a veiled princess she had never met. These Turks were really strange.

He quickly addressed the people in the palace, saying, "From now on, you must tell everyone in the palace that no one is allowed to bully the people in the Empress Dowager's palace. At least until the banquet tomorrow night, nothing can go wrong."

“Isn’t it true that the Turkic prince wants to speak with Princess Jinxiu alone? I’ll have Jiang Zhiyun prepare a room for him, preferably with a surprise.”

"Yes, let Jiang Zhiyun present it to him herself."

As she spoke, Gu Wanqing muttered to herself and ran over to find Jiang Zhiyun, telling her about the matter very seriously.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Zhiyun found it hilarious: "Me, prepare a room? Offer yourself to him?"

Do you know what kind of idiotic talk you're spouting?

Jiang Zhiyun is strong, which makes her much better at dealing with a pampered imperial concubine like Gu Wanqing.

Jiang Zhiyun didn't hold back at all, grabbing Gu Wanqing by the collar: "You're really crazy. I can't possibly serve him in this palace."

As she said this, Gu Wanqing said, "If you don't agree, then we're all doomed."

"You are a Noble Consort, and Xie Lin is the Emperor. How can you have no backbone at all? Now you expect me to protect your country with my body? How ridiculous!"

Jiang Zhiyun said this, but she actually felt it was a good opportunity.

I've been researching escape routes from the palace for the past few days and have figured out a secret passage that leads from the Cold Palace; it's very well hidden.

That path was one that she and Deng Chan had carefully explored, and it wasn't unreasonable to try walking it for the first time.

Then we'll set up the place of service there, where only she and the so-called Turkic prince will be. We'll kill the Turkic prince first, and then Jiang Zhiyun will escape through the secret passage.

Even if she couldn't leave the palace, she could go to other places to hide and still make contact with Xie Shuheng's undercover agents. Jiang Zhiyun didn't think she would lose in these situations.

"Fine, you're all like this, so I won't say anything more." Jiang Zhiyun said, exasperated.

"Gu Wanzhi is dead. I am just an ordinary imperial concubine. If I do not obey the emperor, I will also die. Lady Jiang, do not blame me for taking action against you now. Even if I do not take action, it will be someone else."

“I’ve come to tell you that at least I can guarantee your safety. Your safety and the safety of Cining Palace are all under my protection.”

Jiang Zhiyun sneered: "If it weren't for you, there would be no danger. The Imperial Concubine's power is much greater than I thought."

"You prepare the house and try to please him. By the way, I need to ask you to do me a favor later."

"I won't help,"

"No, I'll kill you if you don't help me." Gu Wanqing was very angry. "This isn't difficult. When he falls asleep, look for letters on him and see if there are any. Give them to me."

If Gu Wanqing says this now, then it definitely isn't a letter to the Emperor.

It wasn't a matter of relations between countries; it was that Gu Wanqing had something on the hands of the Turkic prince.

Jiang Zhiyun found it rather interesting; this Turkic prince was quite shrewd.

However, Jiang Zhiyun pretended to be stupid: "What kind of letter is it? You need to tell me its specific appearance and what it says."

"Otherwise, how am I supposed to find it? What if it's just an empty one, deliberately designed to scare us? We'd both be doomed. The way you're saying this, there's definitely something wrong with you alone. So don't even think about distancing yourselves."

Gu Wanqing stomped her foot in exasperation.

She said angrily, "This matter is very complicated. It concerns the letters between me and Xie Shuheng."

Jiang Zhiyun: ?

"You and my husband are having an affair?"

Although she didn't seem to care on the surface, she was already angry inside.

Gu Wanqing said, "We are in a chaotic world now. What husband? Husband and wife don't exist. Whoever has the ability will get whatever kind of husband they want."

"You're going to marry someone else anyway, so give up on that idea. I'll take care of your husband from now on."

"..."

If they weren't currently under the thief's roof, Jiang Zhiyun would have loved to smash her with a hammer.

This woman is shameless.

Only someone utterly shameless could say something like that.

However... she saw things very clearly; Xie Lin was unreliable, so she needed to find the strongest backer.
