"Yes, since you entered the palace, we have not seen each other again. Now that I see you are doing so well, I'm relieved," Zhou Qichen said with a gratified smile.

The person he could never let go of in this life was Gu Sang, who resided in the palace.

When he learned that Gu Sang had died deep within the palace, he nearly went insane!

If not for his rationality telling him to stay calm, he truly wished to wield his sword and charge into the palace, demanding of Pei Changying why he had failed to uphold his promise to treat Gu Sang as a treasure!

Seeming to think of something, Zhou Qichen urgently advised, "Sang Sang, please don't believe Pei Changying's words anymore, okay?"

"Initially, he promised you a lifelong companionship, but he failed to keep that promise. He also failed to grant you the concubine position he promised. You sacrificed so much for him......"

"Yet he treated you this way, forgetting grace and being disloyal."

"He seemed obsessively in love with you and seldom visited other women's chambers."

"But that's not love at all. That's just being possessive and unwilling to let go."

"So Sang Sang, you must not return!"

Gu Sang felt warmth in her heart and smiled naturally, "Do I look like a fool to you? This world is so good to me, why would I go back and suffer?"

"Besides, who would be foolish enough to give up their freedom for a man?"

"But you, now that the Zhou Family has lost its military power and you have a good relationship with me, Pei Changying must be giving you a hard time, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qichen shook his head with a bitter smile.

He told Gu Sang everything Pei Changying had done in secret over the years.

Sidelining loyal generals.

Being paranoid and suspicious.

Increasing taxes.

Only caring about his own power and not the life or death of the common people.

Even before Gu Sang entered the palace, he had secretly ordered that all women were forbidden from hiring tutors! They were only allowed to study the Three Obediences and Four Virtues!

He declared that reading books would make them wild-hearted, like Gu Sang, who did not know her place!

The more she heard, the colder Gu Sang's eyes became.

From Zhou Qichen's account, she could sense his great dissatisfaction with the Emperor.

After Zhou Qichen finished his accusatory words, Gu Sang took a deep breath and stared sternly at him, asking one sentence, "Brother Qichen, are you willing to trust me one more time?"

"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Qichen felt a thought flash through his mind, his heart racing.

Three seconds later.

Gu Sang uttered a soul-shaking sentence, "Back then, I had to help Pei Changying ascend the throne in order to return home."

"The Zhou Family originally did not support any prince."

"You helped me by standing behind Pei Changying without hesitation."

"But does he still deserve the throne now?"

"Qichen, let's replace him with someone else. I think the Elder Princess is more suitable for this position!"

The Elder Princess!!!
