The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 471

Gu Xi’s eyes looked complex as neither happiness nor anger was reflected on his face.

What he needed now was to wait for his grandmother and them to enter Yuzhou territory before he could be completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, County Princess Duan Rou was still talking. “Third Brother, now that the emperor has ‘killed’ our grandmother for his vendetta, Father will have sufficient reason to send his troops here.”

She said, with a proud smile on her face.

In her opinion, the emperor was weak, timid, and useless; he was just relying on his status as the legitimate eldest son, and thus, it would be easier to conquer the capital.

Moreover, with both talent and ability, her father, Wang Yu was sure to become a famous ruler throughout history.

At this time, Gu Xi turned around to ask County Princess Duan Rou. “Is grandmother not here yet?”

The cart that Imperial Consort Fang was hiding in was usually used to deliver vegetables to the Jiuqi Garden and was under the jurisdiction of the Inner Court Department. Once it left the Jiuqi Garden, it could not come here directly, or it would be too obvious.

The cart must first return to the capital according to its daily route and then replace it with another cart, although this would be a tedious journey it was necessary to hide their traces.

Only then did County Princess Duan Rou remember why she came to Gu Xi just now, smiling. “Third brother, I was just about to tell you that the cart had arrived. To avoid being noticed it came out of the south city gate and circled around before coming here to meet with us.”

“I just ordered someone to wake grandmother up first and feed her sishen soup, your antiperspirant medicine is too strong. Grandmother until now in an unconscious state…”

“Grandmother still hasn’t woken up?” Gu Xi interrupted County Princess Duan Rou, his heart thumping, “Quickly take me to see grandmother.”

Gu Xi had a vague premonition.

County Princess Duan Rou smiled and said, “Third brother, don’t worry grandmother’s breathing is stable, she was just still unconscious.”

County Princess Duan Rou quickly led Gu Xi to her tent.

At this time, several maidservants crowded into the tent. Some of them wiped the face of the person on the bed with a damp cloth towel, some had just brought a soup, and some were standing with their heads down, waiting.

Seeing their masters coming in, the maidservants quickly stepped aside, and Gu Xi took the lead walking to the bed in two or three steps. When he looked at a person on the bed, his expression suddenly changed.

“This is not her.” Gu Xi muttered, his face turning pale.

County Princess Duan Rou had yet to react, as she quickly walked to Gu Xi’s side and looked at the person on the bed. Upon seeing the person, her expression immediately changed, and said in a trembling voice. “She…she’s not grandmother!”

Just now, when the vegetable cart arrived, because it was too smelly, County Princess Duan Rou only glanced at the hidden compartment from a distance away, and did not realize something was wrong. It was not until then that she realized something was wrong.

The unconscious woman lying on the bed was not an Imperial Consort Fang but a substitute woman specially arranged by her father to die.

This martyr was chosen by Wang Yu several years ago because she was very similar in appearance and body shape to Imperial Consort Fang.
