Ling Zhenfei said, "That's right, I've just thought of this. When the time comes, let your brother release an announcement saying the Emperor position is being passed to Gu Feng, not overthrown. This way, Gu Feng saves face, and doesn't your family save even more face."
"At that time, ask Gu Feng for a place, not a too large piece of land, just enough for a town, and let your brother continue as the local emperor."
Mao Xuejing was slightly surprised: "Will this work? If it really does, that would be an excellent result."
"If I say it will work, it will. As long as your brother doesn't take action, I'll talk to Gu Feng about it."
Mao Xuejing felt touched, speaking tenderly: "I think the smartest decision I ever made was choosing to marry you."
"Don't speak so formally, we're still family."
The two hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei finally felt relieved.
