Gu Lingyi didn't realize until his death in his previous life that the Gu family had never been the prince's confidants, but that he had already prepared to abandon them.
The father and brother raised military rations for the prince, delivered secret messages, and took responsibility for the crime. In the end, what was waiting for him was not the East Palace's rescue, but a copy of the imperial edict from the family. The whole family was exiled, his mother died of illness, his brother's legs were broken, and Gu Lingyi also died on the snowy post road.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back to the night before her house was ransacked.
Everyone in the mansion is still waiting for the prince's reply. His father still believes in the benevolence of the prince, and his brother is preparing to carry a fake military newspaper for the prince. However, Gu Lingyi burned the secret letter in the East Palace and broke into Dali Temple at night with real evidence.
Everyone thought she was crazy.
Only Xie Wujiu, the minister of Dali Temple, asked her after reading the evidence: "Do you know that if you hand over this thing, the Gu family will never be able to return to the East Palace?"
Gu Lingyi replied: "What I want is that I can't get it back."
In this life, she will no longer be the prince's sword, nor will she wait for anyone to save her. She wanted to protect the Gu family first, and then overturn the old case; first cut off the wings of the prince, and then personally send down the prince who was sitting high in the East Palace and full of benevolence and righteousness.
The court is like a chess game, everyone holds the pieces.
But in this game, Gu Lingyi wanted to be the chess player instead of the chess piece.
