088 When things are done, you always have to show a little commitment
The old man had only been away from home for three days, but everything that should have happened happened. No matter how capable the old man was, he could not change it...
"Qiancheng, why?" The old man didn't believe that Qiancheng didn't understand the power of it.
Did she take the Gu family into consideration when she did this?
"Grandpa, I said I was doing it for the good of the Gu family, do you believe it?" Gu Qiancheng looked calm and did not take the old man's anger into consideration.
She never tries to be quick and has already thought of a way out before taking action.
Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't want much...
"How can you believe me?" Prince Zhao's family made a fool of themselves, and their Gu family looks good again?
"Grandfather..." Gu Qiancheng sighed faintly: "Grandpa, how long do you think Prince Chu's affairs can be kept secret?"
"This..." The old man really couldn't answer for a moment. It's impossible to hide this kind of thing for a lifetime. Unless Qin Yunchu's illness never asks a doctor, people will know it as soon as he asks a doctor.
"If I were a grandfather, I would go to Prince Zhao's Mansion at this time." He took the lead. As for whether he was justified or not, after all... this is not important at all.
"Why are you going to Prince Zhao's Mansion?" The old man understood vaguely, but he still felt that Gu Qiancheng was too selfish and there was no need for the Gu family to take action in this matter.
"Of course I'm going to ask why you concealed the news about Prince Chu's illness? At the same time, I'm seeking justice for Qianxue." Look, she is so friendly and loving to her sister, she is like the White Lotus of the Holy Virgin.
"What good does this do to our Gu family?" The old man's eyes darkened, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Gu Qiancheng didn't care what the old man thought, and said to himself: "Although there are no benefits, there are no disadvantages either. However, if you have to deal with it properly, Qianxue's position as concubine will definitely not be lost, and maybe the crown prince will also become the concubine."
Based on Qin Yunchu's illness, I'm afraid no family would be willing to marry their daughter to him. Even if they want to use their daughter to get rich, it still depends on whether they have the fate.
"With Crown Prince Chu looking like this, can he still hold on to his position as Crown Prince?" The old man narrowed his eyes, feeling increasingly impatient.
Even a loser is worthy of his dealings.
Gu Qiancheng smiled mysteriously: "Grandpa, what do you think will happen if our Gu family tries to protect the Crown Prince Chu at this time and let him secure his position as Crown Prince?"
What will happen?
Of course, Prince Chu is very grateful to their Gu family, but...
"What can you do to keep the throne of Prince Chu?" The old man didn't notice. He was led away by Qian Cheng again, and he forgot to ask Qian Cheng why he provoked this matter.
"Grandfather, you think too highly of me. There is nothing I can do. The one who has the solution is King Qin. King Qin and the Prince of Chu have a close brotherly relationship, but there are some things that it is not convenient for him to come forward and we, the Gu family, need to come forward."
Gu Qiancheng lowered her head and kept her voice low, but her words made the old man startled: If it was King Qin, then everything would make sense.
King Zhou, King Zhao, and King Rong have recently formed a group to deal with Qin Jiyan. If King Rong spreads this news, then these three people will definitely form a group, and King Qin will benefit from it.
"Heroes are born in youth." The old man couldn't help but praise that he was so proud at such a young age, with a smile on his face, but then he thought it was wrong.
"Since it is King Qin's wish, why don't you discuss it with your grandfather in advance?" He would never refuse anything that was beneficial to the Gu family.
Gu Qiancheng showed a wry smile: "My granddaughter originally wanted to wait for her grandfather to come back before making a decision, but... Madam brought people to snatch my dowry. I was afraid that if I couldn't keep it, King Qin would be dissatisfied, so I had to tell Qianxue's story out of desperation."
"Really?" The old man obviously didn't believe it.
Gu Qiancheng stood up and knelt down straight: "Qiancheng is reckless, please punish me grandpa."
The old man didn't say anything, but stared at Gu Qiancheng...
Qian Cheng had a plan in mind, and he was no worse than a man. Why would he be so impatient? But the old man also thought that although Qian Cheng was smart, he was self-taught by books. Without anyone to teach him, his actions would inevitably be imprudent.
Just look at Qiancheng's performance in the Xitang. There were many paths to choose from at that time, but Qiancheng chose the path of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. This shows that although Qiancheng is smart, he still has some shortcomings.
That’s all, I’ll just teach you more in the future.
"Get up, let's forget about this matter. Don't act impulsively in the future." The old man was not willing to punish Gu Qiancheng after all. Gu Qiancheng's face turned red and he responded in a low voice, feeling quite embarrassed.
Seeing Qian Cheng blushing with embarrassment, the old man couldn't help but feel happy, and joked: "I usually see you doing everything well, like a young man, but it's rare to see you showing off your little daughter's coquettishness."
"Grandpa, please stop teasing me. My recklessness caused a lot of trouble for my grandfather, and I almost feel ashamed to see others." Gu Qiancheng was depressed, as if she regretted her reckless behavior, but only she knew the truth...
…
Blushing means shyness? Sorry?
Are you kidding me? Any girl can make herself blush by just lowering her head and holding her breath...
After successfully dealing with the old man and plotting against Gu Guogong, Gu Qiancheng was in a good mood.
No matter how beautifully done the things Gu Guogong did, it was impossible to leave no trace at all. Besides, to make King Zhao dislike Gu Guogong, it didn't require any hard evidence, just some specious rumors.
What a coincidence!
When the Gu family sent their mother-in-law to see Qianxue, news spread that Prince Chu had contracted a heart disease. Would King Zhao believe it if there was no connection between the two?
As for protecting Qin Yunchu’s position as the heir apparent?
This was decided by Gu Qiancheng after careful consideration, and it is currently the most beneficial choice for her.
As far as she knew, Qin Yunchu's younger brothers were not good at saving money. Qin Yunchu had a good fortune and was the eldest son of Prince Zhao's palace. Only then did Prince Zhao ask him to be the crown prince. In terms of talent, Qin Yunchu couldn't compete with his younger brothers.
Compare……
It is better to have an unclear heir like Qin Yunchu in Prince Zhao's palace than to have a shrewd and capable heir. She does not want to be retaliated by King Zhao.
You must know that the reason why Qin Yunchu is today has something to do with the Gu Mansion. Qin Yunchu never went to Huajieliuxiang before. After being frightened once in the Gu Mansion, he was a little bad at that, so he started to look for flowers and fell into this romantic disease.
If Qin Yunchu was deposed because of this, King Zhao and Princess Zhao would definitely resent the Gu family, and even resent her.
People are so weird sometimes. Even if she didn't do anything, King Zhao and the others would think, if she hadn't been so tough at the wedding, wouldn't what happened next happen?
Without what happened next, Qin Yunchu would not have been so frightened that he would not have stayed in the brothel and even contracted a heart disease.
Not to mention, she had appeared in Chunyi Tower before. Even if she went there afterwards, there was no guarantee that King Zhao and Princess Zhao would not think too much about it.
Although this was only a possibility, Gu Qiancheng did not dare to take the risk. Although Hualiu disease was difficult to cure, Qin Yunchu's status and the careful treatment of the imperial physician would not necessarily lead to his death within more than ten years.
Rather than leaving an enemy who cannot be beaten to death, it is better to let that enemy owe you a favor.
Gu Qiancheng believed that after this incident, the beautiful love between Qin Yunchu and Qianxue would be vulnerable.
As for her?
The benefits are even greater. Not only can she gain the gratitude of Princess Zhao and make King Zhao look at her differently, but it can also make her stand firmer in the Gu family and make the old man trust her more...
As long as a person is alive, even if he plans for himself and steps on Qin Yunchu to ascend to the throne, Gu Qiancheng will not feel any pressure at all!
