The Heavenly Chu Capital — — Shengan, human and earth spirit.

It was said that when Emperor Taizu opened the country's capital, the peony flowers that were supposed to bloom in the fourth and fifth months of Shengan were actually blooming one month earlier.

At that time, after the heavy rain in Shengan City, two golden dragons appeared in the sky.

Emperor Taizu was overjoyed and set the Shengan as the capital of Chu.

Entering the city, he saw that every household had a white banner hanging at their doorstep, making it so that all the people in the city were dressed in silk clothing. Even the city guards were wearing white robes over their armor.

Could it be that old man, the emperor, had died?

After walking and stopping for a while, Gu Mingyan finally could not hold back anymore. He stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, why is it that everyone here is wearing plain clothes?"

He almost couldn't hold it in and asked if the emperor had passed away. However, he was afraid of being captured as an enemy spy, so he could only ask in a more obscure manner.

The passerby who was pulled by Gu Mingyan looked at Gu Mingyan who was wearing a wide black robe and had messy hair. He tore off a piece of white cloth from his body and handed it over.

"The Seventh Prince met with an assassin while recovering from his injuries and died unluckily. The Emperor ordered a great mourning for the entire country. Little girl, you should quickly return home to change your clothes. If you get caught by those officials, you will be sent to jail."

"Sigh …" Then, he looked at Gu Mingyan whose clothes were obviously not fitting, the passerby sighed and left while shaking his head, while muttering to himself, "The heavens are jealous of such a talent."

Looking at the white eyes and the people walking in a hurry, Gu Mingyan was suddenly depressed. Was she really going to live in the ancient times for her entire life?

People have no freedom of speech, men are inferior to women, the imperial power of the system under life?

Before she could recover from her depressed mood, she saw a group of soldiers walking over from the other side. They were holding some papers in their hands and pasted them on the wall behind her.

"His Majesty ordered for the marriage of Young Miss Gu Mingyan to be held at Seventh Prince, and for all the families in the city to wear red cloth."

Betrothal? Young Miss Prime Minister's Mansion? Gu Mingyan?

This string of news almost made Gu Mingyan have indigestion. The Big Miss Prime Minister's Mansion that they were talking about couldn't be her, right?

Isn't that Seventh Prince Xiao Qiran the Ghost Prince from the street just now?

F * ck, was she engaged by someone else?

Looking at the black and yellow paper on the Yellow Ranking, Gu Mingyan wanted to curse out loud.

What sympathy for her? What feeling that she would be lonely in the Underworld?

What kind of bullshit logic was this?

What had she come here for? Not only did she lack human rights, even being a ghost wouldn't let her have a peaceful life. She also needed to find a ghost to warm her bed.

"You wish! My grandma isn't dead yet, you don't need to accompany me in death! Even if I were to die, don't go and get married into some sort of ghost. Who knows what kind of mess that Seventh Prince is?"

The somewhat indignant "Hua La" instantly tore down the Emperor Board, tore it into pieces, and stomped on it a few times to vent its anger.

The Yellow Ranking had been torn apart. This was a huge taboo.

The official who had just returned from posting the royal record looked at the broken pieces of paper on the floor and rushed over with a shout, "How dare you make things difficult for the people! How dare you tear the royal record apart?"

Gu Mingyan turned and coldly looked at the leader of the officials.

The official was also stunned for a moment. How could she be such a silly little girl? He looked at her wide clothes and messy hair and thought that she was a beggar that came out of nowhere.

"Scram. Seeing that you're still young, I won't bother with you."

Being stared at by Gu Mingyan, the official in charge couldn't help but shiver. After a long while, he impatiently waved his hand and brought his men to return and report.

Gu Mingyan casually pulled someone over to ask for the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion, thanked them, and then walked in the direction they came from.

When they arrived at the street where the Gu Residence was, they saw a group of people hanging red lanterns at the door. The door was filled with red paper horses and paper people.

These foolish people really wanted her to die early.

Gu Mingyan sneered in his heart as he walked over. He then heard the commanding voice of the woman dressed in gold and silver who was standing at the door.

"Go to the storehouse and take some red silk to hang on the door. Take more lanterns as well. This is a joyous occasion between Eldest Miss and Prince Jing. Don't neglect it."

King Jing?

Gu Mingyan was startled, then remembered that the Jing King was that unlucky Seventh Prince.

"Our young mistress has had a hard time. She grew up on the outside since she was young, and now she's finally back. Who would've thought …"

After saying that, the woman took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes. However, she was unable to conceal the smile on her face.

She was truly a merciful cat crying at the same time.

Gu Mingyan sneered, walked over and gently called out, "Second Mother, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, the woman who was crying sorrowfully raised her head and saw Gu Mingyan, who was smiling sinisterly at the door with a frighteningly pale face, sitting down on the ground with a loud "Mother!".

"You … You... Is it a human or a ghost? "
