CHAPTER 1129: CHAPTER 1123: LET ME TELL YOU SOME GOOD NEWS

Jin Zijin, once back, immediately told Gu Youyou about what happened today.

Gu Youyou was incredibly surprised. She knew King Jin had taken an interest in Searcy, but hadn’t all gone quiet thereafter? She thought King Jin’s interest was merely momentary, so why was it mentioned again now?

Gu Youyou narrowed her eyes and also guessed that it was the Empress who told Madam Lu about Searcy. Perhaps, the Empress knows everything about Searcy’s past by now?

Fortunately, everyone from the Ghost Doctor Family has perished, and after so many years, even if she knows Searcy belongs to the Ghost Doctor Family, she has no proof, so there’s no worry about her troubling Searcy because of her identity.

The problem now is that the Empress wants to arrange a marriage between Searcy and King Jin.

As an Empress, if she’s determined to make Searcy a concubine for King Jin, even the Emperor might not be able to dismiss her without giving offense.

Gu Youyou’s expression grew grim, and she asked, "What did the Lu Family say?"

After all, Searcy is a young lady of the Lu Family.

Since ancient times, marriage decisions of the children have always been determined by the commands of the parents and the arrangements of matchmakers. If the Lu Family agrees, then everything is really over.

Jin Zijin said, "Madam Lu does not acknowledge that Searcy is part of the Lu Family, insisting that Searcy has severed ties with them."

Gu Youyou sighed in relief; Madam Lu’s response was clever.

Of course, Madam Lu simply didn’t want to be involved with Searcy, but this also indirectly helped Searcy.

"That’s good. As long as the Lu Family hasn’t agreed, then there’s still room for maneuver." Gu Youyou looked at Jin Zijin and said, "Then we have to get Searcy married off before the Empress issues her command."

Jin Zijin nodded and said, "That’s what I was thinking too, but you have to talk to her about it. She’s quirky and listens to you more than anyone else."

Gu Youyou laughed and said, "I know. Searcy is indeed a bit peculiar, and not many people in the residence like her, even the maids and guards are afraid of her, but she’s quite smart when she uses her wits correctly."

Gu Youyou had decided to keep her around initially because she recognized her talents.

The more they interacted, the more pleased she became with her.

She is loyal and indeed had helped Gu Youyou a lot.

That King Jin, with Searcy’s disposition, wouldn’t appeal to him at all; if Searcy really ended up in the Prince Jin Residence, King Jin would certainly end up with no descendents.

With the noble intention of ’saving a life is greater than building a seven-storied pagoda,’ Gu Youyou decided to properly handle this matter.

She found Searcy in the stable, and by this time, it was already late. Searcy had built a strong bond with the horses.

"Searcy, how’s your research on horses coming along?" Gu Youyou teased, leaning against a pillar.

Searcy glanced indifferently at Gu Youyou’s belly and said, "It’s getting dark, and you’re here at the stable with a big belly; what are you doing?"

Gu Youyou laughed, "I got some insider news and rushed to share the good news with you."

"Good news?" Searcy looked puzzled at Gu Youyou and felt that it certainly wasn’t anything good.

At that moment, Gui Yunxi emerged from behind a tall horse, holding a basket, and smilingly asked, "Crown Princess, what good news does Searcy have?"

Once everyone was present, Gu Youyou slowly said, "Today, during the victory feast, the Empress mentioned you, Searcy. She proposed marriage on behalf of your father, suggesting you become a concubine for King Jin. Isn’t that a joyous occasion for your entire life?"

Listening to this news, Searcy nearly choked.

Hearing this, Gui Yunxi’s face turned pale, and the basket in her hand clattered to the ground, then she anxiously looked towards Gu Youyou.
