"The Queen Mother, the Emperor is here."

"Let him go back. I don't want to see him."

The Queen Mother lay weakly on the bed with an unhappy look on her face.

But what the Queen Mother said did not work.

After the emperor came in, he looked at the queen and concubines.

"You guys step back, I have something to say to my mother."

After hearing the emperor's words, the empress and other concubines did not dare to stay and immediately bowed and retreated.

"Mother, I sent Eunuch Hai to visit my sister at her residence. She has already woken up. I have summoned all the ministers to the palace, and I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter. I will definitely send someone to find the whereabouts of my brother-in-law and nephews..."

The Empress Dowager, who had been ignoring the Emperor, looked at the Emperor after hearing this.

"You must find out the truth and find them. I want to see my grandchildren alive..."

"My son, I obey."

With the Emperor's assurance, the Empress Dowager looked noticeably better.

When Gu Zhao woke up, he heard the maid's report.

"Miss, the Qin Marquis's Mansion has sent a gift for the bride price. In addition to a pair of wild geese, there are other gifts..."

Send the betrothal gift here today?

"However, the Madam claimed to be ill and did not accept these things. The old Madam is now dealing with this matter with the Second Madam."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao hummed.

Gu Zhushi and Gu Rong will continue to make trouble if they fail to achieve their goal.

She had long expected that the marriage gift would not be accepted.

The next step, matching the horoscopes, is the most important thing.

In the previous life, Gu Rong and the son of Qin Hou had no compatible horoscopes. Why were all these things different in this life?

Just as Gu Zhao was recalling what had happened before, Cuihua came to report again.

"The old lady gave your horoscope to the Qinhou Mansion."

In the main courtyard, Gu Zhushi and Gu Rong knew that Old Madam Gu and Second Madam Gu had accepted the betrothal gift. Gu Zhushi's face became even uglier.

Her face was still burning with pain, but Gu Zhao was about to match his horoscope with the Prince of Qin.

"Mother, please think of a way to have someone ruin the horoscope match between Gu Zhao and the Prince of Qin. As long as their horoscopes don't match, then Gu Zhao won't be able to marry the Prince of Qin."

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Gu Zhu nodded.

Gu Zhu decided to send someone to tell her eldest brother and ask him to help her contact the Taoist priest.

Gu Zhu called Nanny Zhu over, gave her some instructions, and then let her go back to the Zhu family.

Gu Zhao soon learned of Gu Zhu's actions.

Gu Zhu wanted to destroy her and Qin Chen's fate, and Qin Chen would probably ask the monks in the royal temple for help. Gu Zhu was destined to be disappointed.

Gu Zhao thought of Gu Rong again.

Gu Rong would occasionally attack her. Gu Rong was still too idle, so she had to keep him busy.

Soon, Gu Rong learned about the news from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. After knowing that Qin Ye had married Duan Zhen, he rested in Duan Zhen's room for three consecutive days.

Gu Rong was so angry that he smashed another set of tea sets.

"Brother Ye actually lied to me. It must be that vixen Duan Zhen who seduced Brother Ye." Gu Rong cursed Duan Zhen loudly in the house.

If her face hadn't recovered yet, she would definitely go to the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and humiliate Duan Zhen.

"Bring me a mirror."

Gu Rong called the maid.

The maid brought a mirror and looked at the copper mirror. There was a copper coin-sized scar on her face, and several scars left by blisters. Although they were about to heal, Gu Zhen still felt disgusted.

Everything was fine at the beginning, how come things turned out like this in just half a month?
