This sentence was simply too obvious. Gu Tianqing's palms were sweating under her sleeves, but she still looked calm and collected.
Rong Yan felt guilty, "Eighth Brother, you must be joking. How can I be compared to you? You are one of the four princes in the capital city, and you are very famous … "
You don't have to be so humble. Ever since you were found to have a rare golden spiritual root last year, you are no longer the same as before. You are finally proud. "Rong Che chuckled.
Gu Xijiu sneered as she listened to Rong Yan's self-defense.
Her fiancé was the son of one of the concubines of the current Emperor. The concubine was not favored, and Rong Yan was found to have a weak water spiritual root when he was three years old. He was not destined to have a bright future, and the Emperor did not like him either. Both of them did not have a good life in the palace.
Later on, the Emperor arranged for Gu Xijiu from the Gu family to be his daughter-in-law, but he did not specify which son she would marry. When Gu Xijiu was three years old and was found to have no spiritual root, none of the concubines of the Emperor wanted to arrange the marriage for their sons. When the Emperor tried to test them, they tried to refuse. The Emperor did not want to break his promise to the Gu family, so he was a little angry. Rong Yan's mother was considerate and wanted to share the burden of the Emperor. She offered her son and arranged the marriage for Rong Yan.
Since they had helped the Emperor to share his burden, the Emperor felt indebted to them and finally treated them better. The mother and son's lives were much better.
Rong Yan and his mother had their own plan. Rong Yan was only slightly better than a useless person, and he would not be able to marry a good family in the future. Although Gu Xijiu was ugly and useless, she was the daughter of the general, and it was not a bad idea for them to marry the general. Moreover, the men of the Feixing Kingdom could have a lot of wives and concubines, and after he married Gu Xijiu, he could marry other beautiful women as his concubines.
Rong Yan's mother did not expect that Rong Yan had a hidden spiritual root, and it only appeared when he was 15 years old. Moreover, it was a rare golden spiritual root! Therefore, Rong Yan was not a useless person, but a genius. He was one of the best among the princes!
Rong Yan became a phoenix, and he became the favorite of many girls in the capital city, including Gu Tianqing...
Naturally, Rong Yan and his mother started to be dissatisfied with Gu Xijiu and tried to break off the engagement.
Unfortunately, the old emperor had always been a man of his word and would never allow them to go back on their words. Hence, they came up with such a bad idea to harm Gu Xijiu.
When Rong Yan was not successful, he treated Gu Xijiu well. He would visit Gu Xijiu a few times a year and even brought her out to play. That was why the original Gu Xijiu's heart was completely tied to him. She regarded him as the only sunshine in her life. Who would have thought that he would plot against her? That was why he was easily fooled and lost his life.
Gu Xijiu leaned against the pillar and looked at Rong Che. Today, the Eighth Prince, who seemed to be gentle but was actually arrogant, had been speaking up for her. What was he planning?
Sense of justice?
That shouldn't be the case. According to the rumors, the Eighth Prince's character was evil and cold-blooded. He seemed to be gentle and courteous to any woman, but in fact, he was cold and heartless.
