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.

When Gu Mingyan walked to the entrance of the Shengan City, she saw a sheet of white, and upon entering the capital city, she saw that every household had a white banner hanging at their doorstep, and all of them were dressed in silk. Even the city guards were wearing white robes over their armor.

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

As they walked and stopped, Gu Mingyan couldn't help but ask a passerby, "Excuse me, why is everyone here 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 glanced at Gu Mingyan, who was wearing a wide black robe and had messy hair. He then tore off a piece of white cloth from her clothes and handed it over.

"Seventh Prince met an assassin while healing himself, unfortunately he died. The emperor ordered the entire country to be in mourning. Little girl, you should hurry home and change clothes. If you get caught by those officials, you'll be sent to jail."

"Sigh …" The passerby then looked at Gu Mingyan, whose clothes clearly did not fit her. He sighed, shook his head, and left while mumbling, "The heavens are jealous of such a talent."

??? As expected … The royal family's power was great. Even if a son died, everyone had to wear mourning.

Looking at the white scenery and the people walking in a hurry, Gu Mingyan suddenly felt depressed. Was she really going to live in ancient times for a lifetime?

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 Eldest Miss Gu Mingyan and Seventh Prince Xiao Qiran, and for all the families in the city, red cloth was hung around."

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

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

Wasn't that Seventh Prince, Xiao Qiran, the Prince of Death that was just passing by?

F * ck, was she engaged by someone else?

Looking at the yellow paper and black words on the yellow list, Gu Mingyan felt like cursing her mother.

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. Don't go to the funeral with me. Even if I am dead, don't go to the wedding with any ghosts. Who knows what kind of nonsense 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 around and looked at the leader coldly.

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."

Under Gu Mingyan's gaze, the official couldn't help but shiver. After a long time, he impatiently waved his hand and led his men back.

Gu Mingyan casually pulled someone over to ask for Prime Minister's Mansion's location, 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 her heart as she walked over. She then heard the commanding voice of the woman dressed in gold and silver standing in front of 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 stunned for a moment before recalling that the King Jing was that unlucky bastard 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 and walked over to call out softly, "Er Niang, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, the grieving woman raised her head and saw Gu Mingyan standing at the door laughing eerily. Her face was terrifyingly white as she fell to the ground with a "Mother!".

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