She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor-Chapter 225: Delivering the Palace

The last two sentences were deliberately spoken by the Elder Princess to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Another point was that she intentionally let Pei Changying know that she had found the real grandmother.

Only if Pei Changying believed this would he stop trying to use this tactic to threaten her.

Only in this way would the real grandmother be safe!

Sure enough, after hearing the Elder Princess's words, the morale of the army behind her greatly improved.

On the imperial court's side, they were caught off guard, and in comparison, their morale appeared even lower.

No matter how well Pei Changying tried to hide it, the Elder Princess noticed the flash of shock and panic in his eyes, which meant that Pei Changying didn't know the real grandmother had also come to ancient times.

Pei Changying knew this wasn't the time to lose his temper, so he could only insist that this was Gu Sang's grandmother.

"Pei Weiqi, stop spreading lies and deceiving people, this is Gu Sang's real grandmother."

"Not only did you personally shoot and kill Gu Sang's grandmother, but now you're also slandering this one as fake!"

"If Gu Sang knew about this, she would hate you to death!"

Hearing these words, the Elder Princess laughed scornfully.

She coldly smiled without fear: "Pei Changying, the friendship between Gu Sang and me is something that a disloyal, selfish person like you could never understand."

"She trusts me, and she has already entrusted the entire battlefield to me to handle!"

"She has already taken her grandmother back!"

"Stop trying to sow discord here!"

With that, the Elder Princess gave the order to attack the city.

This time, she had specifically ordered people to bring hand grenades.

She rarely used gunpowder in battles, as its destructive power was too great, and the imperial soldiers were also Central Plains soldiers. She didn't want to reduce the military strength of the Central Plains too severely.

But yesterday, when she saw that Pei Changying was also in South City, the Elder Princess wanted to blow up this beast on the spot.

As soon as the Elder Princess finished speaking, hundreds of hand grenades were thrown at the city walls by the throwers.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Protect the Emperor!" the commander shouted.

Pei Changying immediately turned pale with fright, and without even time to utter threats, he ran downstairs to hide.

With the hand grenades paving the way, a breach was quickly blasted in the city gate.

General Qin led the army into the city.

"Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!" General Qin shouted as he charged forward.

By this time, the civilians in the city had already hidden in their homes, tightly closing their doors and windows!

After entering the city, the Elder Princess ordered a ban on the use of gunpowder, fearing innocent civilians might be caught in the crossfire.

Pei Changying was escorted to a carriage by soldiers. As he was about to board, his legs gave way, and he almost couldn't step up.

Once he finally got into the carriage, the guard immediately drove off, taking Pei Changying towards the Imperial Palace.

It wasn't until he sat in the carriage that Pei Changying realized his legs were still weak and his hands were still shaking.

Those things were too terrifying!

Only after personally experiencing the hand grenades did Pei Changying realize just how horrifying they were!

The thunderous boom almost deafened him.

With one grenade, several people standing close together were blown away, their bloody appearance still haunting Pei Changying.

It was too frightening!

Such things from the future appearing here were like doomsday weapons!

Thinking about how Gu Sang didn't tell him how to make these godly weapons, he felt extremely angry, and his resentment towards Gu Sang grew even stronger.

As Pei Changying was fleeing towards the Imperial Palace...

-

In the capital, at the Li Family's Private Residence.

After receiving her daughter's secret letter, Madam Li planned to have the merchant convoy escort Grandma Gu out of the city early in the morning.

However, unexpectedly, her husband, who usually didn't care about these trivial matters, extraordinarily asked about who her daughter had brought back from the palace, and even mentioned accompanying Madam Li to visit the private residence.

Madam Li didn't think much of it, and she was also curious about why her daughter would take such a big risk to bring someone back from the palace.

What was this person's relationship with her daughter?

Was it worth her daughter taking such a risk to help her escape the palace?

When the couple arrived at the private residence and saw that the person their daughter had risked her life to secretly bring out of the palace was just an old lady, they were both bewildered.

Were there such old palace maids in the palace?

Lord Li stared at the old lady in front of him, suddenly lost in thought.

"Whom did you serve before?" Lord Li asked casually.

Consort Li had anticipated that someone might ask questions, so she had already told Grandma Gu how to answer.

However, she overlooked one detail.

That is, the concept of hierarchy was ingrained in their bones, with every move representing humility. Grandma Gu, coming from the future, even if she tried to imitate, without living in ancient times for several years or even more than a decade, would seem out of place in some subtle differences.

Lord Li noticed these anomalies, and thinking about the connections they had worked so hard to establish, yet their daughter used them to send an old lady out of the city, it was very unusual.

With just a little thought, Lord Li immediately realized a possibility: the person in front of him was Gu Sang's grandmother!

Looking at the unexpected fortune before him, Lord Li's heart began to race with excitement!

If he handed over Gu Sang's grandmother to the Emperor, he would regain the Emperor's trust, and perhaps the Emperor would be so pleased that he might even restore his daughter's position as a consort!

Perhaps it was Lord Li's intense gaze that made Grandma Gu feel wary.

She wanted to escape, but there were at least a dozen strong men loading and unloading goods in the private residence. How could she flee?

Even if she managed to escape at the cost of her life, this was the capital!

This was the Emperor's territory; escaping would still mean death.

Realizing this, Grandma Gu could only resign herself to fate. She could only discreetly take a gamble.

She was betting that the Li family were kind people!

However, Grandma Gu bet wrong!

After guessing her identity, Lord Li immediately had her tied up.

"You are Gu Sang's grandmother, aren't you?"

Grandma Gu remained silent.

Lord Li, however, laughed heartily: "Grandma Gu, please don't blame me. It's just that Imperial Consort Gu has been missing you for a long time. I'm merely sending you to see her."

Grandma Gu stared at Lord Li with contempt, feeling that Consort Li didn't deserve such a father who disregarded his daughter's life.

If it were her, and she learned that Sang Sang was being tortured to the point of preferring death, she would definitely grab a knife and go fight that person to the death.

Not turn a blind eye to it, focusing solely on pleasing that person, waiting for him to mercifully release her daughter.

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a father." freёweɓnovel.com

Hearing these words, Lord Li didn't get angry. Instead, he said:

"I'm thinking of my daughter's best interests. She made a mistake and caused big trouble."

"Fortunately, the Emperor didn't consider implicating the family, only lowering her rank."

"Once I deliver you to the Emperor, he'll be pleased and will re-appoint her. She'll once again be a prominent consort in the palace."

"An outsider like you couldn't understand my good intentions."

"Pah!" Grandma Gu spat, the saliva landing on the face of Lord Li, who was earnestly making excuses for himself.
