It was not just her cousin. All those who attended the banquet were captured by Gu Yan and imprisoned for treason.
Three days later, the Yang family was brought to the entrance of the market and executed.
...
A hundred year old aristocratic family like the Yang family was a huge force in the imperial court. Gu Yan killed the entire Yang family and almost destroyed half of the imperial court.
Even so, with Gu Yan's personality, no one in the world could stop him!
In the dream, in reality.
Yang Wan looked at her cousin, who was dressed in a bridal robe. She staggered and finished the ceremony with her cousin while the matchmaker shouted, and was sent to the bridal chamber.
...
Her cousin was a little mediocre, but the Yin Stallion was as cold as Gu Yan. She could not accept it just because she thought highly of herself.
Yang Wan married in Jiang Huai. Two years later, she heard the news of Gu Yan and Xia Ling's wedding in the capital.
The woman who used to be a pet concubine became the regent princess in the eyes of thousands of people.
When Yang Wan heard the news, she looked down at her pregnant belly and did not find it strange.
She was probably resigned to her fate. She touched her belly and did not feel too jealous.
Gu Yan was still Gu Yan, but not every woman could become Xia ling.
*
When she heard that Yang Wan had married into the Yang family, Xia Ling was surprised. She secretly observed the Yang family and did not find any traces of a reincarnated person like her. Only then did she come back to her senses and attributed everything to the effect of her rebirth.
She had been reborn. Because of her rebirth, Xia Ling had earned a large sum of money from Xia Li. Xia Yu had lost his mind and tried to find someone to assassinate her. However, Gu Yan had stopped her. Instead, Gu Yan had found an excuse to destroy Xia Kingdom... ...
Everything was different.
Gu Yan was no longer the Gu Yan she used to be.
She was sincere to him and he had repaid her sincerity.
She had made a request, hoping that he would not marry a princess consort. He did not agree to it, but he had secretly given up on the plan to marry a virtuous princess consort and take charge of the regent prince's mansion.
Gu Yan did not speak much, but Gu Yan had always used actions instead of words.
Xia Ling was not virtuous and magnanimous, but her grace and calmness were unparalleled in the entire capital.
If she did not follow Gu Yan, the entire capital would probably be filled with her admirers. However, Xia Ling's eccentric personality made it so that no one dared to marry her.
Xia Ling's ruthlessness was on par with Xia Ling's magnificence.
On the surface, she did not admit it, but behind her back, everyone knew that Xia Ling was born in Xia Kingdom, the eldest princess who was rumored to have disappeared.
However, when Xia Kingdom's people became prisoners and were sent to the capital of Zhou Kingdom... Many people saw Xia Ling.
She was drinking tea with Gu Yan in the teahouse.
Some people said that Gu Yan doted on Xia Ling very much. He promised her a condition that he would agree to whatever she asked.
It was obvious that he wanted Xia Ling to save her parents. However, Xia Ling did not hesitate to leave the condition to herself. She asked Gu Yan not to marry a princess for the rest of his life.
If such a cold-blooded woman treated her parents this way, the others would not be sincere.
Speaking of which, Xia Ling, who had a vicious heart but unparalleled beauty, was a perfect match for Gu Yan, who used tricks at every turn and had an unpredictable temperament.
If it was someone else. It would be impossible for them to subdue such extreme personalities.
*
Autumn, the wedding day.
Gu Yan wanted to support Xia Ling, but he was rejected by all the civil and military officials.
The court was kneeling on the ground. All the officials wanted to directly describe Xia Ling as an unfaithful and unfilial vixen who would bring disaster to the country.
Gu Yan had been the regent king for a long time, and it was rare for him to have a cold face.
Resign!
He turned around and brought Xia Ling out of the capital. All the civil and military officials, including the emperor, were thrown aside by him.
Xia Ling followed Gu Yan with a smile. The two of them toured the mountains and rivers, enjoying themselves.
