Chapter 858: Chapter 682: The Imperial Family’s Trump Card
In Gu Changsheng’s dictionary of life, there is no such word as fear!
Upon hearing this, Prince Liang’s face looked a bit displeased, but his body acted truthfully, ducking even further behind the battlements.
“Prince Liang, if you can grant me a smile, I will give you immortality, spare your life, and if you offer up all your possessions, I can cure your syphilis. What do you think?” Gu Changsheng narrowed her smiling eyes, descending from midair gracefully like a startled swan, landing on her steadfast steed, speaking with a good mood.
Hearing Gu Changsheng say she’d spare his life, Prince Liang was immediately delighted, but upon hearing her latter words, Prince Liang began to grit his teeth.
To have, to have said in front of so many people, that she suffered from syphilis!
How could he continue being a Prince in the future?
Although Emperor Zhoulin had also bluntly reprimanded him for contracting such a vile disease in the court, wasn’t that within the confines of the court? Wasn’t the knowledge limited to the civil and military officials in the court? Those officials weren’t complete fools; who would dare recklessly gossip about him, a Prince holding true power, in such a delicate situation?
“You! It was you who did this, Gu Changsheng, I will not let you off!” A flash of insight crossed his mind, and Prince Liang stood up disregarding all else from behind the battlements, pointing at Gu Changsheng, furiously declaring.
This woman! This woman’s smile was too evil!
He had long suspected that his syphilis was an underhanded scheme by Gu Changsheng, and now it seemed to further confirm this suspicion.
“And what if it is? I want you to live worse than death, who dares ensure your good living?” Atop the high horse, Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, “But don’t feel aggrieved, comparatively, you’re still alive, aren’t you? After all, have you not indulged in pleasures before?”
The onlookers, from these few words, could vaguely piece together the gist, and were utterly shocked by Gu Changsheng’s words.
Indulged in pleasures? Could it not be what they were thinking?
Probably, it should be… otherwise, how could Prince Liang have contracted syphilis? That kind of disease is contracted during indulgences, right…
The onlookers suddenly understood tacitly…
“You! You!” Prince Liang trembled like a sieve, stumbling a few times, almost fainting from rage.
Gu Changsheng lifted her head, glanced disdainfully at him, dismissively waved her hand, “Never mind, since you’re unwilling to spend all your wealth to buy life, I won’t force you, step back!”
This manner, as if Prince Liang was her subordinate.
Shouting and demanding at her whim.
“Who do you think you are? This is Great Zhou, not your Southern Country!” Prince Liang roared angrily, face red and neck bulging.
“If it were my Southern Country, could you still stand here talking back to me?” Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, with disdain, “Step back, with your wits, you’re definitely not someone who can grasp the Capital City’s situation, call out the person behind you to respond, if he can also earn a smile from me, I’ll spare his life as well!”
The onlookers laughed immediately upon hearing this.
With just such a light sentence, it brought Prince Liang complete contempt, not even a match, not intellectually sufficient.
Not only that, even the mastermind controlling the Capital City’s storm, merely would come up to respond.
The ability to earn a smile held immeasurable disdain!
So domineering, so strong, so arrogant!
Now, whether the mastermind comes out or not, this person, still unknown to everyone, already lost a three-part momentum!
Prince Liang staggered, unfortunately, really fainted from anger.
On the battlements, chaos erupted in an instant.
Gu Changsheng looked at the chaotic scene above, slightly frowning, “Forget it, I’m too lazy to wait for that mastermind to show up, things will become clear in the future.”
She had to relent as she already sensed a certain person’s presence approaching, and from a hundred miles away, came the grand aura of Gu insects.
The evildoer was coming over, and her ceremonial army was also approaching.
Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, once again leapt up, shouted towards the Capital City, voice empowered with inner strength, reverberating through the entire Capital City, “Foster Father, your daughter is here, don’t worry, your daughter will come to see you shortly!”
“Emperor Zhoulin, let bygones be bygones, my betrothal ceremony with the evildoer, you promised me glory, today, I come to the Capital, the Southern Country’s royal ceremonial entourage will arrive soon, if you are free, come to the city gate to welcome me into the city!”
This statement, Gu Changsheng spoke without a tinge of guilt.
Even if she felt a bit unwilling herself, but after all, she was a queen of the Southern Country, a queen of a nation, moreover, her realm was more than twice the size of Great Zhou, she had no problem, but the honor of the Southern Country could not be tarnished, otherwise, how would the old ministers of the Southern Country feel?
