She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

Chapter 228

Upon hearing the report about Grandma Gu, a shock went through Pei Changying's heart: "Are modern people...all so mentally strong?"

"She is not refusing food, silent and calm."

True enough, like grandmother, like granddaughter, they both remain calm in face of adversity!

Pei Changying hasn't forgotten, when Gu Sang was captured and held in a cellar, in such a dangerous place, she could keep her composure, observe her surroundings, and look for opportunities to escape.

And Gu Sang's grandmother acted similarly, neither creating a fuss nor rejecting medical treatment.

This anomaly left Pei Changying restless, hardly eating or sleeping.

At midnight, Zhou Qichen led a special forces squad to sneak back into South City, with General Qin personally selecting elite soldiers to wait for their signal outside the city.

Because of her worry, the Elder Princess also joined the special forces squad, sneaking into the city in an attempt to rescue Grandma Gu.

South City was vast, and everyone had to act separately.

The Elder Princess took a risk and infiltrated Pei Changying's mansion with the intention of using the night as her cover.

Two maids were approaching from the front garden, and the Elder Princess immediately hid in the darkness.

"That old lady has a pretty good temper. I thought she would give me a hard time when I brought in the meals. I was prepared for a beating."

"But she didn't get angry or scold me, nothing was thrown at me, she even ate all the food."

"Yes, the old lady seems to have a kind heart, she wouldn't trouble us servants."

"Sigh... I finally understand, people living in the future are really different, they are so nice." Said the other maid.

As the maids drifted further away, Elder Princess emerged from the shadows and quickly followed them.

This mission...

Elder Princess did not come prepared for the worst, but specifically to confront the worst outcome.

The timely arrival of these two people here clearly showed Pei Changying's premeditation. The Elder Princess immediately followed one of the maids, knocked her unconscious.

"Where is the old lady brought here today staying? Take me to her!" The Elder Princess pressed a dagger to the maid's waist, the blade gleaming coldly.

The maid was too scared to scream.

"I will take you there, please don't kill me."

The Elder Princess followed this reluctant guide.

They had a smooth journey to the room where Grandma Gu was detained. A hint of mockery flashed through the Elder Princess's mind - such an obvious plot was certainly Pei Changying’s doing!

But what a shame...

She was there to deliver a head that day.

There was no more poker to play!

How could she easily take Grandma Gu away without risking her own life!

The Elder Princess cleared her mind, knocked the maid out, and slowly entered the room.

"Grandma Gu."

There were no lights on in the room, and through the moonlight from outside, you could vaguely see someone sleeping on the bed.

The Elder Princess walked over quickly, reaching out to touch Grandma Gu.

Ah!

The Elder Princess looked surprised!

Just as she reached out to touch Grandma Gu's shoulder, she suddenly felt a prick in her hand, and her strength began to drain rapidly.

Oh no!

She’d fallen right into the trap!

The Elder Princess immediately turned to run, but it was already too late!

"March! March! March!"

The soldiers surrounded the entire room, leaving no room for escape.

Guarded by his attendants, Pei Changying stood by the door of the room, mockingly replying to the Elder Princess, "Pei Weiqi! How you truly value loyalty and sentiment!"

"Desiring to rescue Madame Gu Sang, hmm, you all took advantage of the loophole last night and saw through the decoy."

"Do you think I will make the same mistake again? Allowing you to rescue her tonight?"

"It is my ignorance that underestimated you, the continuous victories made me arrogant!"

The Elder Princess leaned against the carved bed rail, all her strength gone. She could only tightly clutch the railing behind her to prevent her from falling.

Her eyes were downcast, her thoughts unknown.

"I've always said, I am the true son chosen by Heaven, even Heaven would stand by my side!"

"Arrest her!" Pei Changying proudly proclaimed his victory, ordering his soldiers to seize the Elder Princess.

At the same time, the military ambush within the city commences its operation.

Upon discovering the ambush, Zhou Qichen and his party swiftly retreated.

Pei Changying, fearing delays which may lead to problems, realized it was no longer safe for Nuangongzhu and Gu Sang to remain in South City.

Crazy Zhou Qichen would undoubtedly assault South City like a madman.

Hence, after capturing the Elder Princess, Pei Changying returned to the palace overnight.

Upon his return to the palace, Pei Changying's informant quickly reported Consort Li's actions.

Learning that Consort Li had secretly sent out Madame Gu Sang behind his back, Pei Changying let out cold, contemptuous laughter. It was laden with irony and disdain.

Gu Sang, Gu Sang.

You are truly favored by fortune!

All these women are helping you?

Coldly, Pei Changying articulated six chilling words.

"Consort Li, commit suicide!"

The eunuch brought poisoned wine to Xuyang Palace.

Imperiously, the eunuch proclaimed, "Consort Li, His Majesty is kind and orders you to end your life. Please express your gratitude."

Consort Li had no knowledge of Madame Gu Sang being handed over to the Emperor by her family. She had been constantly locked up in Xuyang Palace and was completely oblivious to the outside world.

Wasn’t His Majesty supposed to torture her mother forever?

Why would he suddenly let her go?

Could it be....no, it couldn't be. After all, that was her maternal tribe, her own biological father, how could they harm her this way?

Under the eunuch’s scrutinizing gaze, Consort Li knew she had no choice.

She had to kneel in humiliation, expressing gratitude with ten thousand reluctances.

"This servant...thanks His Majesty for his great mercy. Long live, long live, forever long live His Majesty!"

She still had parents, she still had her tribe, all she could do was to thank him!

Thankful that His Majesty had not annihilated her entire family!

While holding the poisoned wine, Consort Li murmured to herself, closing her eyes, "Madame, you must get out, you must find Miss Gu Sang."

"What a pity, I won't be able to witness with my own eyes the dethroning of Pei Changying. I hope everything goes well for you."

"What I would give to be reincarnated in a future life."

But alas.

One shouldn't be too greedy.

Consort Li let out a bitter, desolate smile, draining the cup.

Seeing that Consort Li had finished the poisoned wine, the eunuch left.

The effects of the poison were exceptionally violent. Consort Li felt as if her organs were being wrenched in pain, as though someone was twisting her guts.

Then, as if being cut by a knife piece by piece, and then feeling like ants gnawing all over her body.

Consort Li rolled on the ground in agony, tears mixed with blood streaming down her face.

"Bang!"

A sudden noise rang out.

What sound?

Looking at the figure suddenly appearing in front of her, Consort Li widened her eyes. She forced them open, thinking she was hallucinating from the pain.

"Gu Sang?"

"Hehe.......pfft......the last thing I see before I die is you? Do I long to be like you so much?"

"I really know how to dream, such a beautiful dream....."

Only when she was embraced by a warm body, did Consort Li manage to regain some sanity through the pain.

It's her!

It's Gu Sang!

Did she really come back?!
