Chapter 536 - The Lady With the Zhusha Between Her Brows (1/2)

Under the current circumstances, no one cared if Gu Nansheng was willing to marry or not. The only one who would ever ask could only be Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan looked at Gu Nansheng who had been forced to become less of a prick. Although she was no longer snobbish and arrogant, she still had some pride, albeit less domineering. It was not difficult to imagine that many things had happened in Beiqi Palace over the past half a year.

“I heard there is a new Princess Yun in Beiqi Nation,” Feng Tianlan said, trying to sound her out.

Gu Nansheng gently sniggered, “They said she was abandoned outside the palace years ago but they brought her back home half a year ago. Father Emperor truly dotes on her and gives her all his love and attention.”

On the other hand, although she used to be a very beloved princess, Gu Nansheng was no longer in her father’s favor and could only be used for an arranged marriage for political purposes.

Feng Tianlan did not know what to say. She knew that being treated like a worthless pawn by one’s father was bitterly disappointing.

“Actually, it’s fine for him to dote on her, since he owes her that much, but…” Gu Nansheng clenched her fists in uncontrollable hatred. “What right does she have to snatch away the position and the love enjoyed by my mother, the Empress? Are the status of Royal Concubine and First Princess not enough?”

If not for her marriage, her mother would have been stripped of her titles and she would be in a far worse state than she was in at this moment.

“Feng Tianlan, I have never felt so helpless before, but now there is nothing I can do.” She could only offer herself in a political marriage to save herself and her mother.

Feng Tianlan watched as Gu Nancheng drank tea as if it was wine, pretending to get drunk. She poured out all the bitterness in her heart. She only needed to vent her emotions.

Gu Nansheng had endured months of being wronged and feeling helpless. At this moment, she felt that Feng Tianlan was someone she could trust and could not help but voice out all her troubles. She really needed a listening ear, if not, she might go insane and become reckless.

After saying more things in bits and pieces, Gu Nansheng raised her head and gently laughed. “Great-grandmaster, accompany me back to the palace and together we can go and visit that Beiqi Princess Yun who is considered the number one beauty. I would like to see if she could still be considered the number one beauty when she stands before you.”
