Back in time, when Xia Yu ordered the assassination of Xia Ling at all costs, Xia Ling stayed in the regent King's mansion. She was well-behaved and did not go anywhere.
There had been too many people staring at her recently.
Xia Ling did not want to meet anyone, be it those who had made a name for herself at the four kingdoms banquet or those who had posted posts about her with some kind of intention to see her.
Making a name for herself was just to let gu Yan see her excellence.
Now that she was in the limelight, Xia Ling was not willing to go anywhere. No one could do anything to her even if she stayed in the regent King's mansion.
She was so honest. Coincidentally, Xia Yu's secret guards were lurking around the regent king's mansion. They waited for many days, but Xia Ling still did not leave the mansion.
The entire capital was under Gu Yan's control. On the second day when the secret guards were keeping an eye on the regent king's mansion, Gu Yan had already received a report.
Sensing that there were some unusual movements in the mansion, Gu Yan ordered people to keep an eye on these people, preparing to purge the regent king's mansion.
However, he hid it from Xia Ling. Xia Ling knew nothing about it and was almost poisoned to death in the regent King's mansion.
Hu Ping had long had dealings with Xia Kingdom and was sent to the manor. He was also filled with resentment towards Xia Ling.
As for Hu Guang, he was the steward of the regent King's Manor. Because of Xia Ling's matter, he was no longer placed in an important position in the manor. The keys in his hands were gradually transferred into Xia Ling's hands.
Hu Ping received Xia Yu's order and was about to make a move when Hu Guang took action on his behalf.
They poisoned the food that was sent to Xia Ling in the kitchen.
This poison was able to seal the throat. If Ying Chun had not tried it with a silver hairpin, Xia Ling would have almost drunk it.
Xia Kingdom's secret guards cooperated with Hu Guang's wave of attacks and quietly hid in the regent king's Manor.
The regent King's mansion, which appeared to be calm and peaceful, had swallowed the lives of countless secret guard assassins in the past few years.
If Gu Yan's mansion was so easy to enter, why had gu yan lived for so many years and stayed in a position below this one person?
Hu Guang's betrayal made Gu Yan furious.
With a cold face, he dealt with the Hu family and then brought the captured Hu Ping to attack the Xia Kingdom.

October of the same year.
There was a great drought in the Xia Kingdom, and there was no harvest for the autumn harvest.
The Zhou Kingdom's army marched south and attacked the capital of the Xia Kingdom in less than a month. They captured the emperor of the Xia Kingdom alive in the Imperial Palace.
The Poor Emperor of Xia was still shouting when he was captured. Madam Xia was his daughter, and he was Gu Yan's father-in-law.
Father-in-law Which family's relatives left according to the status of a beloved concubine?
Everyone in the capital of Zhou knew that although Madam Xia was born in Shang Le Workshop and was a dancer chosen from the common people, she was a city-toppling dancer with a cheerful temperament. She was also an outstanding figure in the capital.
Would such a woman give up being a good princess and become a dancer?
The general who had gone on the expedition did not believe it at all. He directly found someone to poison the emperor's throat, so as to prevent him from shouting randomly and dragging down Madam Xia's reputation.

Xia Ling knew that Gu Yan had sent troops to Xia Kingdom.
She did not have any objections to this. In fact, she was looking forward to it.
In her previous life, Xia Kingdom had lasted much longer than this one. With her around, three to four years after the banquet of the four kingdoms, Zhou Kingdom annexed the other three kingdoms before finally making a move against Xia Kingdom.
She thought that she was in control of the situation. She wanted to take revenge for the humiliation she had suffered when Xia Yu and she were sent to the capital.
However, she was one step behind. Later on, she and Xia Yu joined forces with the dark chess. Using the name of the Yang family, they directly rushed into her courtyard and poisoned her to death!
Yes, in the plot, GU YAN would consider marrying a concubine.
