The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending-Chapter 428

Chapter 428

Looking at this beautiful pair, Fang Hanjun’s eyes softened with shallow ripple.

She knew that Qin Jiu had been secretly exchanged with her nanny’s daughter from childhood. As a daughter of a marquis, she grew up in a humble and shabby house and suffered humiliation; if she was an ordinary person, she might have inner demons, but Qin Jiu was so open-minded.

The existence of Qin Jiu gave Fang Hanjun hope as if telling her that even if she was bitten by a wolf in the first ten years or so of her life, that was nothing. The rest of her life was still long and there may have been more sunshine!

Fang Hanjun hooked her lips, her eyes calm.

She took another sip of tea before she added in a low voice, “This matter …… don’t tell grandma about it yet.”

When she was in Yuzhou, she felt resentment in her heart, but more than that, she resented the late emperor and hated Wang Yu even more than her father.

She knew that, over the years, the emperor had never given up on taking them away. Not only had he secretly sent people to rescue them up in Yuzhou several times, he even suggested to Wang Yu that as long as they let the mother and daughter return to the capital, he would also let the imperial consort go to Yuzhou, but Wang Yu refused.

At that time, her mother was already devasted, and after watching the soldier die for them, she did not want to implicate those people anymore. For the emperor, Yuzhou was already beyond his reach, and, without her mother’s cooperation, not to mention, they were tightly controlled so they could never be rescued.

She later learned that the emperor had become seriously ill because of her mother’s death, and that the empress dowager was too old to be stimulated again.

Gu Zezhi responded and added, “This matter cannot be hidden from the Empress Dowager.”

Although there were not many people present earlier, and even if their mouths were sealed, there might be people hiding in the dark corners.

“…… ” How could Fang Hanjun not know this. She could only lower her gaze and pick up the teacup again.

At this time, the palace servant, who had gone to get the hand stove, returned and reminded. “County King, third Miss Qin, the banquet is about to begin.”

Fang Hanjun was still observing her filial piety so she could not participate in such a lively banquet. She said, “I’ll enjoy the plums here for a while longer, the two of you go and enjoy the banquet.”

Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu went back to the Shouning Palace.

Qin Jiu, with one hand holding the hand stove while the other holding Gu Zezhi’s warm hand could not help but say. “Brother, what exactly does Wang Yu want?”

Gu Zezhi hit the nail on the head when he said, “Stir up the water to muddle through.”

Qin Jiu blinked, feeling as if a thunderstruck crossed her heart, and spoke. “Wang Yu wants to rebel?”

Thinking again of Wang Yu in the novel, Qin Jiu’s expression became extremely subtle.

Gu Zezhi just smiled and said nothing.

Gu Zezhi suddenly changed his words, “Gu Chenzhi intended to have Duan Rou’s cousin come to the capital.”

Qin Jiu subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

The two happened to arrive outside the Shouning Palace.

Qin Jiu immediately realized the relationship between Wang Yu and the emperor.

Turns out that it was not about luck with women ah!

Once the cousin of Wang Yu marries Gu Zezhi, would the emperor still trust Gu Zezhi as much as he does now?

This was probably Gu Chenzhi’s intention, he wanted to cut off Gu Zezhi’s future, he wanted Gu Zezhi to return to the Western border, and wanted Gu Zezhi to bow down to him.

Gu Zezhi pulled Qin Jiu and continue walking forward, “Wang Yu is a smart man, of course, he knows this and knows that Gu Chenzhi is playing tricks with him, but this is good for him.”

“Wang Yu wants the emperor to think that the Duan Wang fu is showing favor to Wang Yu, forcing the emperor to take action against Duan Wang, either to ignore or question Duan Wang, to use this to push the Duan Wang fu to King Yu’s side.”

Qin Jiu: “….”

Qin Jiu understood.

Wang Yu and Gu Chenzhi were ambitious and had their agendas, so they do not mind playing mind games with each other.

And Gu Zezhi was their bargaining chip in this game.

Regardless of the result, Wang Yu and Gu Chenzhi would not suffer any loss; at most, they would simply lose a piece of chess.

“Pathetic.” Qin Jiu looked at Gu Zezhi sympathetically and shoved the hand stove to Gu Zezhi, “Warm your hands.”

After Qin Jiu sent out the stove, she regretted it immediately.

So cold.

She silently counted from one to three and then stared at him coquettishly, trying to get her hand stove back.

Gu Zezhi bent his head to look at her and reached out to scratch her nose, “Your sympathy is too short!”

His face was getting closer, and his beautiful phoenix eyes reflected her small face, as his warm breath sprayed onto her face, making her breathing slightly rapid.

As he approached, his shadow had enveloped her.

Qin Jiu did not dare to move a muscle as her heart was beating faster and for a moment she thought he would kiss her, but he finally stopped and raised his hand to straighten her cloak as he said with a smile. “Go inside.”

He said in a low, inaudible voice, “Fifty days to go.”

Qin Jiu could not help but laugh, and let him shove the hand stove into her hand again.

The two of them continued to walk forward again, and when they were about to enter the hall, Qin Jiu suddenly thought of something and whispered to his ear, “Qin Xin is pregnant, The imperial physician said that it should be a month.”

Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows.

Seeing that he was unaware of the situation, Qin Jiu told him about what happened just now when Qin Xin fainted and then called the Imperial Physician.

Qin Jiu crooked her little face and added in a small voice, “I’m getting the impression that Second Prince and Qin Xin are very strange ……”

She frowned slightly and looked at Gu Zezhi again with a burning gaze, saying,”Last time when the Second Prince was injured, the doctor who looked at him died. This injury is not right! Have you already guessed it ah……”
