Chapter 566: Chapter 419 A Plan to Shoot Multiple Eagles with One Arrow

Compared to the trauma Lord Yuan Bao suffered in his heart, getting hit by a chestnut was virtually negligible!

Only with comparison comes balance, and at this moment, Si Xi and Guoguo felt balanced!

Gu Changsheng glanced at the two, seeing their frustrated little faces, and his mood instantly improved a lot.

Building his happiness upon Yuan Bao and Si Xi’s unhappiness, Gu Changsheng was adept and never failed!

”All right, I won’t tease you two any more,” Gu Changsheng waved his hand and looked at Yuan Bao, ”Why are you following me instead of taking care of your master’s mess? Playing the sycophant?”

At those words, Yuan Bao suddenly recalled the important matters and quickly spoke up, ”Lady Changsheng, you released Sima Changhao and even made such a deal with him. What are you thinking? Do you actually want Huo Shuixian to marry into Southern Chen as the Crown Princess? Weren’t you going to kill her?”

”Crown Princess?” Gu Changsheng’s eyes flickered with icy coldness as he spoke sternly, ”She wishes!”

”She sent the Futu Demoness to injure everyone around me, nearly taking Tan Nv’s life. Why would I let her become the Crown Princess of Southern Chen?” Gu Changsheng sneered, speaking with a gloomy face, ”In this world, death is not the most terrifying thing; the most terrifying is a life worse than death! And I will make Huo Shuixian pay such a price for what she has done!”

”Ah?” At these words, Yuan Bao shivered instinctively and asked.

Lady Changsheng’s grudge against Huo Shuixian was truly deep!

Look at this intention to make someone live a life worse than death; it is indeed a bit frightening!

”My lady, didn’t you say you wanted Sima Changhao to marry Huo Shuixian and then generously hand her over to him?” Yuan Bao asked with a puzzled face, ”I heard it right, you did say that.”

Si Xi also nodded hurriedly on the side, ”Yes, my lady, that’s what you said.”

At this, Gu Changsheng smiled beautifully, ”Yes, that’s what I said, but I said it in front of Sima Liancheng!”

After Gu Changsheng said this, he turned to look at Yuan Bao and Si Xi, and sure enough, both were scratching their heads in confusion.

”You really are hopeless! Look how foolish you are!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but rub his forehead in frustration and resignedly began to explain, ”Sima Liancheng has been enduring in silence all these years for what? Isn’t it for the Imperial Throne of Southern Chen? Struggles for succession within the Imperial Family are common; do you think Southern Chen would be an exception?”

”Huo Shuixian brought the Phoenix Rite Omen, bearing the title of Mandated Noble Lady. If Sima Changhao could marry her, it would certainly be icing on the cake, making his position as Crown Prince even more unshakable!”

”Sima Liancheng is cunning; how could he not foresee this? Sima Changhao holds him dearly, but he harbors a heart of a wolf, and this fraternal strife will likely start with Huo Shuixian!”

”Ah! My lady means Sima Liancheng won’t let Huo Shuixian marry Sima Changhao?” Yuan Bao exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, slapping his forehead loudly.

Gu Changsheng gave him a look and leisurely asked, ”If you were Sima Liancheng, would you let Sima Changhao marry Huo Shuixian, have the Lihuan Gu cured, and gain a Heavenly Destined Girl to boost his power?”

”Of course not!” Yuan Bao immediately replied resolutely.

”I think so too!” Si Xi agreed.

Gu Changsheng smiled, ”Right! Sima Liancheng definitely won’t sit back and watch Sima Changhao win the beauty! So whose misfortune it turns out to be, remains to be seen!”

Moreover, Huo Shuixian, with her cultivation and Gu insects, had already been drained dry. Even if Southern Chen got Huo Shuixian, for Sima Changhao to cure his Lihuan Gu would require a long wait!

A cunning light flickered through Gu Changsheng’s eyes; no one could wrong her and get away with it completely!

Not even the Crown Prince of Southern Chen!

”My lady, you are truly ingenious! What a clever strategy to hit multiple targets with one arrow, drawing Huo Shuixian to Southern Chen, making Southern Chen a target for all, and causing sibling rivalry between Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng over this beauty; it looks like Huo Shuixian will eventually solidify her role as a disaster. No matter whom she ends up with among these brothers, her days in Southern Chen won’t be easy!” Though Yuan Bao was somewhat slow-witted, a little hint could get his mind working, and realizing the reasons, he couldn’t help but give a big thumbs up, repeatedly praising, ”With such strategies, my lady, not being a politician or general is truly burying your talents!”

”Yes, yes! My lady, you are incredible! Such a brilliant plan, only you could come up with!” Si Xi also hurriedly followed with praise, his starry eyes shining brightly, showing immense admiration for his lady!

Gu Changsheng gave them a look and shook her head, ”Don’t be too optimistic. Both Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng are foxes; neither is foolish. Even if they agreed to marry Huo Shuixian away, they would surely try everything to strip her of her Heavenly Destined Girl status!”

”The Female Star of the Occupation Room clashes with Hook Chen, whoever holds the Female Star holds the realm!” Gu Changsheng looked up at the sky and muttered to herself, ”Yuan Bao, in truth, I am the real Ying Zhao of the Female Star, right?”

At this, Yuan Bao, visibly shocked, looked at her uncertainly and stammered, ”Lady... Lady Changsheng, you... you knew?”

Gu Changsheng’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, ”I really didn’t want to know! I just wanted to live my days quietly, away from all these vexing matters!”

But contrary to her wishes, she invariably got entangled with that damn fate!

”When I first met Shang Xie, he told me he had glimpsed the heavenly secrets and foreseen the Female Star before he came to Jushuang City to see me! The evildoer went to great lengths, pretending and deceiving, falling in and out of love, all just to make Huo Shuixian the Heavenly Destined Girl to take the bullet for me, right?” Gu Changsheng looked at Yuan Bao and softly asked.

Lord Yuan Bao was stunned upon hearing this, and indeed, with Lady Changsheng’s astuteness, she could not be deceived for long!

”Since my lady has already guessed, please understand the deep intentions of my master in this matter of great importance. The royal families of the Four Kingdoms have all been alerted, and now the armies of Three Kingdoms are stationed outside Liuzhou City, with their massive forces pressing at the border. And it is all because of you!” Lord Yuan Bao slowly knelt down and spoke solemnly, ”Although my lady devised a strategy that made the Crown Prince of Southern Chen focus on Huo Shuixian, the other two kingdoms will not give up easily! They were already suspicious, and now they would rather wrongly kill than let you go!”

Gu Changsheng heard this and a touch of worry appeared on his face, ”Indeed, they will not stop at anything!”

”All of these troubles... they all started because of me...”

At that moment, Gu Changsheng truly did not know why he had come to this world!

When she had arrived, Shang Xie had sensed something, and now, there was also the Female Star of the Occupation Room!

As a child, she always heard her grandfather say that her deceased parents would become stars in the sky to accompany her. At that time, young and naive, she actually believed it!

As she grew up, she learned that the moon and stars were merely planets, nothing special, and even disdained her own ignorance. However, now, she suddenly found herself entangled with the starry heavens!

Could it all truly be a heavenly mandate?

She genuinely was uninterested in any conquest or domineering ambitions!

What she sought was always very little...

Now, because of her, the armies of Three Kingdoms were pressing against Great Zhou. If things truly got out of hand, wouldn’t she be the cause of chaos and misery across the land?

At this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that her coming to this world was nothing but trouble!

Although she trusted no prophecies of heaven, all the people of the Four Kingdoms fervently believed them!

Seeing the worry on her face, Lord Yuan Bao quickly knelt and moved closer to comfort her, ”Lady Changsheng, do not worry, everything is in master’s control! He will not allow anyone to harm you!”

”But what about the common people of Great Zhou? Is he really going to let Three Kingdoms invade Zhou because of me? With the war igniting, and people suffering, is he really doing this all for me?” Gu Changsheng murmured absentmindedly.

”No! Absolutely not! Lady Changsheng, rest assured, my master has extraordinary talents and has already thought of countermeasures. He will not give Three Kingdoms a chance to invade Great Zhou! No civilians will die because of you in the war...” Lord Yuan Bao explained hurriedly, but his face could not help but darken.

No civilians would die in the war, but soldiers would...

Gu Changsheng heard this and shook his head. Only at this point did she realize, the only person she could truly rely on was Zhou Mu! Only Zhou Mu!

The man like a Divine Residence! Always like a mountain beside her, indulging and accommodating everything about her!

With him around, what did she have to fear?

Even if it was through mountains of daggers and seas of fire, the two of them could tackle it together!

Being exiled to this primitive ancient era wasn’t her choice. What heavenly mandate, what Female Star of the Occupation Room — why should she bear it?

With that thought, Gu Changsheng was relieved!

She would not change herself for any so-called damn heavenly mandate, nor would she despair because of it!

She wanted to stand with Zhou Mu, to defy the Three Kingdoms together!

Let’s see in the end, who wins and who loses!

Gu Changsheng, coming back to her senses and seeing the two people kneeling on the ground, couldn’t help but touch her forehead, ”Alright, stop kneeling. Your lady just conned Sima Changhao out of ten thousand taels of Silver today, the whole residence should celebrate, Si Xi, quickly, tell Xiao Leizi to add more dishes!”

Lord Yuan Bao and Si Xi, ”...”

Did Lady Changsheng change her mind a bit too quickly?

”L... Lady Changsheng, are you alright?” Lord Yuan Bao regained his composure, swallowed nervously, and asked cautiously.

Could it be that she was too shocked upon accepting that she is the Heavenly Destined Girl?

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng glared and slapped Lord Yuan Bao’s round forehead, ”I’m fine! What could be wrong with me? If the sky falls, the evildoer will bear it, finding a useful man is such a relief, what do I have to fear?!”
