She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

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.

As long as Gu Sang would marry him, he would try his best to fulfill any request she made.

With careful inspection, there was no way Gu Sang and Grandma Gu could escape the palace.

During the court session, Pei Changying announced this and ordered his ministers to find fifty loving elderly couples within ten days.

Pei Changying, being suspicious by nature, naturally wouldn't entrust the important task of verifying identities to these civil and military officials.

His gaze swept forward, settling on the Prime Minister.

Among all the court officials, he could no longer discern who was loyal and who belonged to the Elder Princess's faction.

Now he only trusted the Prime Minister, who had always advised him on governing the country and stabilizing the realm.

Only the Prime Minister remained truly loyal to him.

"Prime Minister, you must investigate the identities of these fifty loving elderly couples thoroughly!"

"We absolutely cannot allow any suspicious individuals to enter the palace!"

"I trust only you!"

The Prime Minister stepped forward and replied respectfully, "I obey Your Majesty's command!"

Time flew by, and ten days passed quickly.

Led by the Prime Minister, fifty elderly couples found from among the common people entered the palace, then into the room, to offer their wedding blessings to Gu Sang.

Watching these people freely enter and exit Xuyang Palace, Pei Changying's brow twitched, as if he had overlooked something.

His instincts told him that something wasn't right about this situation.

However, when he wanted to step in and keep an eye on Gu Sang, the Prime Minister stopped him.

"Your Majesty, this is a blessing custom that cannot be interrupted."

"Please return to your chambers. Later, you'll also receive their blessings as the groom."

Pei Changying scrutinized the Prime Minister's expression, then solemnly patted his shoulder, "Prime Minister, you must keep a close watch for me!"

"Don't let any ill-intentioned person take advantage of the situation."

The Prime Minister respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will guard this place without leaving a single step."

Hearing the Prime Minister's promise, Pei Changying left with peace of mind.

After Gu Sang and Pei Changying separately received blessings from the fifty couples, and after the Prime Minister personally checked everyone's identity, he led the people out of the palace.

That thread of unease lingered in Pei Changying's heart. Being worried, he personally ran to Xuyang Palace to confirm, and only after seeing both Gu Sang and Grandma Gu there did he leave reassured.

The next day, the imperial kitchen aunt brought Gu Sang a message.

"Grandma Gu has been sent out of the capital and met the Elder Princess on the way."

"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."
