Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 349 Gu Jinxiao Knows the Truth (14 Reward Value Plus)

The emperor had already investigated everything about the Wu family.

Wu Yaozu was the only son of a fifth-rank official. If he wanted to advance himself, even if he did not take the imperial examination, with the protection and support of the Wu family, his career would be much smoother than that of students from poor families.

But Wu Yaozu is uneducated and a real playboy. All he thinks about all the time is how to take advantage of his six sisters and use nepotism.

How could the emperor look down upon such a person?

At this moment, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Wu Changzai with a bit of disappointment.

Even Li Changde shook his head secretly.

A great opportunity has come to her doorstep. As long as Concubine Wu can seize it, even if she cannot catch the emperor's eye, she can still improve her status in the harem!

I didn't expect that she was so confused.

Although Nangong Xuanyu disliked Wu Yaozu, he was a man of few words. He looked down at Wu Changzai who was kneeling below him and asked for the last time, "Are you sure you want to use this opportunity on your brother?"

Tan'er was almost crying, but there was nothing she could do.

Wu Changzai's voice was weak, but her tone was firm: "I only have this one brother. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!"

The Wu family was demoted, causing Yaozu to live a hard life now. She was already sorry for Yaozu. If she doesn't make plans for Yaozu anymore, what will happen to his future life?

The emperor said coldly: "Pass on my decree and order Wu Yaozu to serve as a supervisor in the Guanglu Temple."

Although the Supervisor of Guanglu Temple was only a minor official of the eighth rank, Yaozu had finally officially entered the officialdom!

Wu Changzai kowtowed and said, "I, your concubine, thank your majesty for your grace on behalf of my ancestors!"

Li Changde looked at Wu Changzai's departing back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this might be the last time she would see His Majesty.

Your Majesty will not like women who are confused, and even less will he like those who only care about their natal family’s interests after entering the palace.

Wu Changzai is considered useless.

Not long after she left, Gu Jinxiao, who was tall and graceful with clear eyes and eyebrows, entered the imperial study to discuss matters with the emperor.

the other side.

Wu Changzai also understood that the emperor had given her this opportunity, but she used it to seek an official position for Yaozu. She was afraid that she would never be favored again in the future.

Anyway, she was out of favor to begin with, and now she was just maintaining the status quo. Wu Chang didn't feel too disappointed.

No matter what, she has done her best to plan for Yaozu. After Yaozu knows this news, he should not be angry with her anymore, right?

Perhaps because his mood was too complicated, Wu Changzai did not rush back to Luoying Pavilion, but wandered aimlessly in the Imperial Garden.

Tan Er followed for a long time. When they walked around behind a rockery, she finally couldn't help but burst out: "My lady, why did you say that in the imperial study just now?!"

"Although His Majesty has not made a fuss about you, it is obvious that he must be disgusted with you in his heart. Is it really worth it for you to do this?!"

At this point, Tan'er burst into tears!

Wu Changzai sighed, looking helpless and aggrieved: "I also know that I missed the hard-earned promotion opportunity. But I only have one brother, Yaozu, and my father can no longer count on me. If I don't think about Yaozu anymore, who else will plan for him?"

Tan Er wiped away her tears fiercely: "When Concubine Rou came to you and wanted you to unite with the Wu family to expose the noble lady's teaching class, I thought our good days were finally coming!"

"I didn't expect that after all the suffering you've endured in the palace, you still haven't made any progress. You never think about yourself, and you only think about the young master!"

Tan Er had served her since she was a child, and followed her from the Wu family into the harem. Wu Changzai had only this close person around her, and even though Tan Er's attitude was disrespectful, Wu Changzai did not argue with her, but just comforted her in a gentle voice.

In the end, the conflict between the master and servant was not resolved, and they returned to Luoying Pavilion with helplessness.

But he didn't see a figure as cool and elegant as pine and cypress standing on the other side of the rockery.

Gu Jinxiao had just finished discussing matters with the emperor in the imperial study and was about to leave the palace when she heard the voice of a palace concubine in the imperial garden.

Eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does, and he was about to leave when he heard them mention the noble lady's teaching class.

He already had some doubts in his mind about the fact that the noble lady's teaching class was suddenly exposed, so he stopped unconsciously.

I didn't expect the truth to be like this. The person who really exposed the noble lady's teaching class was not the Wu family, but Concubine Rou.

Smart people often don't need too much verbal communication to guess the purpose of everything the other person does.

After a quick thought, Gu Jinxiao understood why Concubine Rou did not openly participate in this matter.

He once saw with his own eyes that Concubine Rou ordered someone to slap Madam Lu for being disrespectful to her. At that time, he knew that Concubine Rou's weak and harmless appearance in front of His Majesty was all pretend.

In fact, she will never be polite to anyone who has offended her.

Today, he learned about Concubine Rou’s unique side.

She lives deep in the harem, but is able to stir up trouble in the court from behind the scenes.

He is intelligent and strategic. At a young age, he is more patient than many old foxes in the officialdom. He knows when not to show off and never reveals his methods in front of others.

There are so many factions in the court. If Concubine Rou were a man, she would definitely become a strong rival to many important officials.

Such a smart woman can only be trapped in the harem, what a pity...

Gu Jinxiao felt regretful, but also had mixed feelings...

In the past, he didn't know that the daughter of the Imperial College's Chancellor was a fake, so he had no interest in that girl.

But marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. The Gu family can marry the girl to the Imperial College Supervisor without his consent.

If he made a big fuss, he could have stopped it. But the world is lenient to men but harsh to women. If he did that, the girl's reputation would be ruined and she would not be able to survive.

Gu Jinxiao has devoted himself to the country and has no intention of starting a family. If the Gu family and the Imperial College Supervisor insist on doing this, he cannot bear to let an innocent woman die. The only thing he can do is not to step into the girl's yard and let someone feed her with good food and drink for the rest of her life.

But he never thought that the innocent woman he thought was innocent was not innocent. In the end, she and the family of the Imperial College Supervisor were punished by law.

Gu Jinxiao had suspected before that the news of the noble lady's teaching class was revealed before the Gu family got engaged to the fake noble lady. Was it a coincidence? Or did someone already know the truth and let the Gu family avoid this pit?

At this moment, a subtle feeling arose in Gu Jinxiao's heart...

Is it Concubine Rou...repaying him the favor from last time?

But...if he hadn't heard the conversation between Concubine Wu and the palace maid today, he would never know that the person who really helped him was Concubine Rou.

She never thought of letting him know about this, all she wanted was to have a clear conscience.

Concubine Rou is a true gentleman!
