Synopsis:
After her rebellion failed, the grand princess had her martial arts abolished and was confined to her estate to await execution.
The Grand Tutor gazed at the grand princess before him, who was sipping fine wine, resting her feet on warm jade, and savoring freshly presented lychees. He didn’t know what to say.
“Your Highness, are you planning to slaughter the emperor’s prized Ferghana horse today, or steal one of the palace gates?”
Shang Wanyue smiled faintly. “I want the Fifth Prince of the Southern Kingdom to help me escape.”
The Grand Tutor said, “Have you forgotten how you asked him to come propose, then robbed him?”
Shang Wanyue said, “…He’s broad-minded.”
Broad-minded Gu Baining appeared in Shang Wanyue’s room that very night. Overjoyed, Shang Wanyue burst into tears and asked, “Fifth Prince, can you take all my male companions out with me too?”
