The fake pregnancy was exposed, and Gu Changxiao was predictably furious, punishing me to reflect in seclusion for a month.
His rage was expected, but I have no regrets.
At this time, news came from the borderland that the previously fierce battle between the court and the Dzungars has unexpectedly turned into a gradual retreat of the Dzungar forces.
Gu Changxiao also began to take my words more seriously, and his gaze softened a lot when looking at me.
But I know that there is still a rift between him and the emperor, and he must seek revenge.
Next month is the Longevity Festival, and I have been anxious at home for several days, unable to find a breakthrough.
According to the plot of the book, Gu Changxiao completely fell out with the emperor on the day of the Longevity Festival.
When I feel bored, I can only come to the garden to relax, looking at my reflection in the water and feeling that I look quite charming in this ancient costume.
Ancient costume, ancient times, yes, I am now in ancient times!
Ancient people were the most superstitious!
I bought several large baskets of live fish from the market, following the instructions in the textbook. I wrote notes in advance and stuffed them into the fish, then released the fish into different rivers to let them swim around. Judging by the time, the emperor's birthday Longevity Festival is next month, so doing this now is just right.
Every day after that, I prayed hard, praying that my prescription could help Gu Changxiao smoothly.
On the day of the Longevity Festival, I dressed up and followed Gu Changxiao into the palace in a very high-profile manner to celebrate his birthday.
【 Crown Princess,"Are you really going? You might be wronged if you go. It's better to pretend to be sick and rest at home."】
【"It's not a solution to keep hiding like this. As the ugly daughter-in-law, I still have to meet my in-laws."】
【I'm just worried that you'll be insulted for no reason.】
【Don't worry, I can handle it.】
Apart from the prince and officials paying respects to the emperor, there are also many foreign envoys, each holding rare treasures to present to the emperor.
The treasure I have prepared will surely make the emperor "pleased and satisfied".

[Your humble servant respectfully wishes His Majesty a long and prosperous reign. Your servant has chanced upon a godfish and has come to present it to His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will graciously accept it.]
"I, as a humble servant, have also obtained a precious fish and wish to present it to the Emperor."
"The treasure that I present to the Emperor is also a godfish."
The ministers started discussing animatedly, and it turned out that nine out of ten treasures offered were fish. This was because inside the fish's stomachs, there were notes that read: "For the King, in our prosperous dynasty, Changxiao."
The ministers have all submitted memorials saying that this is the mandate of the gods. They believe that in order to prosper, the prince must be made king.
I admit that half of these memorial-submitting ministers have received bribes.
Sister, after all, used to be in the entertainment industry. I'm very familiar with these tactics of getting up close and personal and manipulating public opinion.
Gu Changxiao Seeing these, you must be surprised. How about it, my husband, are you surprised?
"Are you trying to force me to abdicate?"
"We dare not."
"Only because it is the will of heaven, we dare not disobey. We also consider the state and the people, and moreover, the Crown Prince is indeed extraordinary. We hope Your Majesty will think twice.
In my eyes, this is just a small trick of a group of people. I'm afraid someone is impatient and eager to take over!"
"Your child does not dare, but your child does indeed have a question to ask Your Majesty."
"Ask."
"May I ask, what is the emperor to Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is like the heavens. Everything Your Majesty says is the truth, everything Your Majesty does is right. Your Majesty is the sovereign!"
"Then may I ask, can someone who kills the wife and children be called 'Your Majesty'? Or can someone who kills their own grandchildren be called 'Your Majesty'?"
"My two elder brothers, as well as my child, all died under your suspicion. Can someone like this be called 'Your Majesty'?"
"You are not worthy to be a ruler, nor are you worthy to be a father. How dare you claim to be the Son of Heaven!"
"Outrageous!"
The emperor's furious anger frightened all the civil and military officials in the court, and there was not a sound in the hall except for breathing.
"If you look down on my actions, then I will have you guard the border and protect our country's territory!"
"Bring someone here, strip off his fine clothes, and immediately send him to the border, along with this troublemaker."
"I dare anyone to touch her!"
In the blink of an eye, I and Gu Changxiao were surrounded by dozens of guards.
Gu Changxiao slowly drew the short knife from his waist and continued to protect me behind him.
"Last time you said, as long as I said I love you, you would leave me?"
"Yeah, why are you saying this? You wouldn't be thinking..."
"I can't leave you again."
" Xia Xiaoling, listen carefully, if you leave this time, don't come back."
【Please don't say it.】
【Take care of yourself, goodbye, Xiao Ling.】
I love you.
