The scumbag broke off the engagement, and the daughter of the genius doctor turned around and marrie

After the eunuch read out the imperial edict and left with his men, Gu Xian'er started crying.

"Grandma, Dad and Mom, I don't want to marry King Xiaoyao."

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly issue such an imperial decree.

The old lady and the people in the first house all looked pale.

Gu Xianer is an outstanding woman carefully cultivated by the Gu family.

When getting married, one should marry a man from a powerful and influential family, and of course it would be best if one could marry into the royal family.

Only by marrying well can you bring honor to the family.

However, King Xiaoyao is an exception.

A sickly man without real power will not even have children in the future, so there is no future for him if he marries her.

Not only Gu Xian'er was unwilling, but everyone in the big house was unwilling.

"What should we do?" The eldest lady was so anxious that she was about to cry.

How could she let the daughter she had carefully raised for sixteen years serve a sickly man who didn't have much time left to live?

While they were sighing and trying to find a solution here, Xiao Ziming had already returned to the mansion.

study.

He sat upright at his desk.

Holding the bullet in his hand.

"Gu Lingshuang..." He murmured the name softly.

What an interesting woman.

Growing up in a large mansion, he unexpectedly learned medical skills without any guidance and could also use weapons with great lethality.

Who is she?

Thinking of what she did to Xiao Xinghan today, the smile in his eyes deepened.

At this moment, there was a knock on the study door.

"Master, I have something important to report to you."

"Enter."

Zhufeng pushed the door open with a happy look on his face.

"Master, the spy at Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has sent a message that His Majesty has granted you a marriage with the daughter of the Gu family."

Xiao Ziming: "......"

My brother is really quick.

He thought that the person who saved him was Gu Xianer, so he did not reject his brother's proposal.

I never thought that when I saw her today, I found out that the woman that night was not Gu Xianer, but Gu Lingshuang.

Zhu Feng saw that Xiao Ziming remained silent for a long time, so he looked up at him and found that there was not much expression on his master's face.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or unhappy.

"master?"

Xiao Ziming came back to his senses.

"Go and keep an eye on the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion yourself."

Zhufeng didn't understand why he made such an arrangement, but he didn't say anything.

After he left, Xiao Ziming's eyes became deep.

He had just met Gu Xianer today and he could tell that she was not a peaceful person.

He is physically weak and incapable of sexual intercourse. This is something known to everyone in the entire Holy Kyoto. Gu Xian'er would never be willing to marry him.

Pingyang Marquis Gu Nanqiao, although pedantic, is quite ambitious, but he does not have the ability to match his ambition.

If such a person wants to take the Marquisate to a higher level, the only thing he can think of is to curry favor with the powerful, and the best way is marriage.

It was clear enough at the coming-of-age ceremony that the person Gu Xian'er loved was his nephew Xiao Xinghan.

Similarly, Xiao Xinghan was also quite interested in Gu Xianer.

He was very curious about how the Marquisate would avoid having Gu Xianer marry him.

It was obvious that Xiao Ziming could make the emperor withdraw the imperial edict with just one sentence, but he refused to do so. He was really in a bad mood.

An hour later, Zhufeng came back angrily.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ziming raised his eyebrows.

"Have you found out?"

Zhu Fengqi's eyes turned red.

"Master, the Gu family is too bold and presumptuous. They actually want to disobey the imperial decree. Not only do they disobey the imperial decree, but they also... want to play tricks on you. This is simply despicable."

"Oh?" Xiao Ziming drank his tea without any sense of urgency: "Tell me about it."

Zhufeng was speechless when he saw his master so relaxed and at ease.

Master, it’s so late and you still have the leisure to drink tea.

Do you know that the people in the Gu family are planning to use Gu Lingshuang to replace Gu Xianer and marry you?

Zhufeng recounted in detail what he had seen.

Time goes back to an hour ago.

Gu Xian'er cried and wailed and refused to marry Xiao Ziming.

"If I were to marry that sickly person, I would rather die. I want to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Although Xiao Xinghan had just been diagnosed by the doctor as being born with eunuch disease, Gu Xianer didn't believe it.

Because she and Xiao Xinghan had already been secretly in love, the two of them had already kissed each other behind her back.

Although she hadn't reached the last step yet, the feeling of the Third Prince's thing pressing against her was real.

She had experienced it all herself, so she was very sure that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was not a eunuch. It must have been that bitch Gu Lingshuang who colluded with the doctor to frame His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

The purpose is to make all women stay away from His Royal Highness the Third Prince. When the time comes, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince cannot marry a wife, he can only marry Gu Lingshuang.

Humph! I didn't expect that after being strangled to death once, Gu Lingshuang's mind would be much clearer than before.

But she saw through it at a glance. No matter what, she was going to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Gu Xianer told her family about her guess.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Xian'er is right. What does that little girl Gu Lingshuang know about medicine? She is just making it up. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is so heroic and extraordinary. Xian'er must marry him." Gu Qingye said fiercely.

Gu Qingfeng frowned: "But His Majesty has already granted Xian'er marriage to King Xiaoyao, what should we do now?"

In an instant, the air became silent.

The eldest lady rolled her eyes and suddenly they lit up.

She quickly unfolded the imperial edict and then laughed.

"Mother, my daughter is going to marry a sickly man soon, and you are still in the mood to laugh?"

"My dear daughter, it's not you who is going to marry the sickly man, but Gu Lingshuang."

"Madam, what do you mean?" Gu Nanqiao asked in confusion.

The eldest lady pointed at the imperial edict and said, "Look, the imperial edict only said that the legitimate daughter of the Gu family would marry Prince Xiaoyao, but it didn't say which legitimate daughter of the Gu family."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, and then smiles appeared on their faces.

Yes.

It is true that Xian'er is a legitimate daughter, but Gu Lingshuang is also a legitimate daughter, except that she is the legitimate daughter of the second wife.

"Gu Lingshuang has already been divorced by the Third Prince, so she can naturally marry Prince Xiaoyao."

"But mother, what if Gu Lingshuang is unwilling to marry in place of me? Besides, my second uncle is still at home, so this may not be possible." Gu Xian'er said worriedly.

The calculation in the eldest lady's eyes became more and more profound.

“Look at this date.”

Everyone's eyes were on the imperial edict.

Perhaps in order to have double happiness, the emperor set the wedding date for Gu Xian'er and Xiao Ziming on the first day of August, which is next month.

Gu Lingshuang and Xiao Xinghan's original wedding date was August 1st next month.

Everyone looked at each other and understood what the eldest lady meant.

What she meant was that since Gu Xian'er and Gu Lingshuang were getting married on the same day, then they could exchange brides on the wedding day. Anyway, they were covered with veils and Gu Xian'er could marry Xiao Xinghan and Gu Lingshuang could marry Xiao Ziming. Even if they were discovered when entering the bridal chamber, it was a done deal and the bride could not be changed.
