The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 472

On their trip from Yuzhuo to the capital, they were very careful not to let this substitute show her face in front of other accompanying people besides the siblings who knew her appearance to ensure that the plan was foolproof.

The servants in the tent looked at each other confused. If this person was not an Imperial Consort Fang, who could it be?

“Third brother.” County Princess Duan Rou tugged Gu Xi’s sleeves, her mind confused. “Why is the substitute here?”

They arranged for a few close confidants around their grandmother, who would put her into the hidden compartment of the cart and then take her out of the palace. The lives of the family members of these confidants were in the hands of their father; therefore, they would never betray Wang Yu.

Gu Xi’s eyes looked sinister and said nothing.

That’s right, logically speaking, this substitute should die in Jiuqi Garden instead of his grandmother.

If the substitute was here, what about his grandmother?

Not good!

Gu Xi’s expression even turned uglier, and could not help but think about it.

He took a step back before turning around and shouted. “Someone, ask the captain of the guard to bring the two men who just returned from the Jiuqi Garden.”

One of the guards guarding the outside of the tent immediately accepted the order, and in a short while called the captain guard, and the two black-clothed guards over. Gu Xi went out of the tent to meet them, and asked sternly, “Is there someone in Tai’an Palace?”

The two black-clothed guards glanced at each other, thinking that Gu Xi was questioning whether their errands had been completed. One of them nodded his head with certainty and replied, “Third Master, we poked a hole in the window paper, and after taking a look inside the main hall through the firelight, we were able to see that the ‘Imperial Consort’ had collapsed on the ground. “

He vaguely said, meaning they were sure that the fake imperial consort in the palace had already burned herself and died.

Gu Xi: “…”

Gu Xi’s complexion became even paler and felt his heart throbbing violently, leaving him speechless.

He was filled with extremely complex emotions, whether it was resentment, frustration, regret, or fear.

County Princess Duan Rou also came out of the tent and asked, “Third Brother, what’s going on?”

The two guards in black looked at Gu Xi’s complexion, and from what they saw, they could guess that something was wrong, which made them uneasy.

Gu Xi took a deep breath before he violently heaved a breath to calm himself a little and then said with great difficulty. “We’ve been tricked by the emperor.”

“The emperor must have known that we were going to switch grandmother, so he secretly switched them back.”

“Now…the person being burned to death in the palace…is grandmother!”

Gu Xi spoke slowly as if saying these words had exhausted his strength. His eyes were red and looked ferocious, looking like evil spirits crawling out of hell; the noble and elegant young master was nowhere to be seen.

He still could not believe that he was being plotted like this, and that he had been targeted for a long time without him realizing.

When the two guards in black heard this, they were so frightened that they sweated profusely as they lowered their heads even lower. If this was the case, then doesn’t this also mean that they burned the imperial consort with their own hands?

County Princess Duan Rou: “!!!”

Anger surged on County Princess Duan Rou’s pretty face, and with the gritted teeth she said. “Too despicable! Underhanded, shameless, and ruthless!”

After cursing, County Princess Duan Rou was flustered, as she asked. “Third Brother, then what should we do now?”
