The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1049 - 1049 506 Domineering Jiaojiao (One More)

?Chapter 1049: 506 Domineering Jiaojiao (One More) Chapter 1049: 506 Domineering Jiaojiao (One More) As these words were spoken, the old Marquis could almost imagine Gu Changqing’s reaction; it was so heart-wrenching that he simply turned his face away.

The truth cannot be hidden forever, yet when the moment truly arrived, the turmoil and struggle were still immense.

Gu Changqing was completely petrified, and the whole room fell into a deathly silence.

The old Marquis felt that he should say something, but he was not very good at making small talk, especially not at offering comfort.

Besides, comforting a stranger is one thing, but for someone like him, comforting a loved one always felt a bit awkward.

In fact, the scheme, or rather the trap, had been laid since before Empress Dowager Jing entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Jing was a loyalist of the former dynasty. Her encounter with the old Marquis, which resulted in her being saved from bandits by him, later turned out to be a premeditated conspiracy.

If the affections of one individual can be manipulated, then why not the marriage alliances of a whole family?

Empress Dowager Jing or Miss Ling, they were both remnants of the former dynasty planted in Zhan Country. The difference was that Empress Dowager Jing entered the palace, while Miss Ling did not.

But not entering the palace didn’t mean Miss Ling could not play a significant role.

The old Marquis personally founded the Gu Family Army, and if Miss Ling’s son could become the young master of the Gu Family Army, wouldn’t that mean the remnants of the former dynasty controlled Zhan Country’s most formidable military force?

The old Marquis felt guilty deep down, for he had failed to notice the alliance between Gu Chong and Miss Ling. If he had known Miss Ling was a spy of the former dynasty, he would have never agreed to this union.
