Chapter 237: Revenge

Chapter 237

"However, the Prime Minister said there's an issue that needs your solution."

"The palace guards are too strict. It's difficult to smuggle someone in. He wants you to come up with a legitimate way."

Gu Sang nodded, "Alright, I'll figure something out."

With modern makeup techniques, achieving an 80-90% resemblance wasn't difficult.

The challenge was how to deceive them.

If Pei Changying could trick her with a fake grandmother, Gu Sang would counter-attack with her own fake grandmother!

That evening, Gu Sang discussed this with Grandma Gu, who sighed deeply.

"Sang Sang, if possible, could you save her? I've observed Pei Changying's character lately. He likely won't tolerate outsiders deceiving him."

"Even if she's willing, I still feel uneasy about it."

Gu Sang nodded, saying confidently, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll plan an escape route."

"The most important thing now is for you to leave here. Only when you're safe can I arrange the next steps. I came here to knock Pei Changying off the throne!"

Grandma Gu sighed, not pressing further.

It was precisely because Grandma Gu understood that she didn't want to be a burden.

Suddenly.

Grandma Gu seemed to think of something and said, "Sang Sang, have you ever livestreamed our modern wedding ceremony?"

"No, Grandma. What did you think of?" Gu Sang replied.

"Then tomorrow when the emperor comes, tell him that in our modern wedding ceremony, we need to invite fifty happily married elderly couples to give their blessings."

"It's a good omen, symbolizing that the newlyweds will grow old together in love, just like these couples."

Gu Sang, who had been worrying about how to smuggle the old lady in, suddenly lit up upon hearing her grandmother's idea.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Sang felt there was a chance: "Alright, that's a good explanation."

"But Grandma, you should suggest it. He knows I wouldn't agree to it."

Since ancient times, people have valued various symbolic meanings.

Such as anniversary gifts, matching birth charts for marriage, and so on.

Suddenly proposing such a requirement wouldn't seem out of place for this era.

The next day.

When Pei Changying came again, Grandma Gu brought up the future era's etiquette.

Pei Changying pondered suspiciously for a while, but upon seeing Gu Sang's ice-cold expression and Grandma Gu's helpless look, he nodded in agreement.

"The Elder Princess has ordered General Zhou to personally escort Grandma to where the army is stationed."

"The Elder Princess brought death squads, and with the Prime Minister's help, they've already entered the capital, waiting to enter the palace for rescue at any time."

Hearing that her grandmother had been taken away by Zhou Qichen, Gu Sang finally felt completely at ease.

With Grandma gone, she could act freely!

Gu Sang even considered taking out her weapon and finishing off Pei Changying right away.

If she killed Pei Changying directly, she would likely be killed by the guards, with no chance to leave the palace and reunite with her grandmother. It wasn't worth it!

She wasn't foolish enough to trade one life for another.

"Tell them to wait. This time, we must find an opportunity to make sure Pei Changying can never rise again!"

Gu Sang instructed the imperial kitchen aunt to pass on the message.

In Gu Sang and the Prime Minister's plan, they had intended to use Pei Changying's wedding as an opportunity for the Elder Princess to lead troops in a rescue, combined with the Prime Minister's cooperation from within.

Gu Sang would then quickly use an electromagnetic gun to threaten Pei Changying into withdrawing his defenses, allowing the Elder Princess's army to fully enter the capital and swiftly surround the palace.

But what Gu Sang didn't anticipate was that on the eve of the wedding, she would encounter Gu Qingrou.

Gu Qingrou, disguised as a palace maid, came to deliver the Empress's wedding dress: "Your Highness, the wedding dress has arrived."

Gu Sang was sitting at her dressing table, contemplating tomorrow's actions, rehearsing the plan several times in her mind to prevent any loopholes.

Seeing Gu Sang lost in thought, Gu Qingrou tiptoed behind her, a flash of mockery in her eyes as she pulled out a dagger, intending to stab Gu Sang.

Gu Sang!

She really came back!

But she had said she would never return!

Why does she still have to compete with me!

"Whoosh—"

In a split second, before Gu Qingrou's knife could touch Gu Sang's shoulder.

Gu Sang quickly snapped back to reality, her right hand grabbing and pulling forward. Gu Qingrou's body involuntarily crashed into the dressing table, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes.

The dagger was disarmed by Gu Sang and pressed against Gu Qingrou's throat.

"It's you?"

Upon seeing Gu Qingrou's face, Gu Sang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she immediately kicked her away.

Gu Qingrou fell sitting on the ground.

She rubbed her shoulder, seeming to have anticipated this outcome, and laughed bitterly, "Gu Sang, long time no see."
