Chapter 966 Thank you, Jinglang
Yan Yu and his subordinates looked for various suspicious points and questioned Gu Yihe again and again.
On one side is loyalty, on the other side is love, Gao Jing was torn and at a loss.
Gu Yihe fought alone and was never discouraged.
For two hours, she argued with the crowd, defending herself vigorously and leaving them speechless. However, she still did not gain any trust from them.
In the end, her mind collapsed, she became furious and mad, pointing her spear at Yan Yu.
"If it weren't for Princess Yuexi, I wouldn't be willing to assist you!"
"What is the Yan clan's kingdom? What is the wise and enlightened Emperor Yan? It's ridiculous!"
"You are a man who seeks fame and reputation. Your virtue is unworthy of your position. If the world is handed over to you, it will be destroyed in an instant!"
Gao Ji's eyes were wide open and his words were stern.
"How could you not know that this is a crime of great disrespect?"
"Your Highness, the Sixth Princess, please be careful with your words."
Gao Jing stood in front of He'er, facing the prince, and knelt heavily on his knees.
"He'er couldn't stand the slander and accusations, so she got angry. It's understandable. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
"I am willing to take the blame for her, but I ask for your permission, Your Majesty."
Gu Yihe reached out and helped him up.
"Jinglang, you don't have to kneel to him."
"Since you dare to say these words, I am ready to go."
"Your Majesty, Emperor Jin, may punish your subjects according to the law. I will never admit my injustice until my death!"
Considering the little sister's feelings and remembering Emperor Yue's kindness, Yan Yu didn't care and just waved his hand gently.
"This king has no intention of punishing you, so please go."
Gu Yihe bowed his head.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Seeing her getting up to leave, Gao Jing quickly caught up with her.
"Hello, wait a minute."
Gao Ji was startled and shouted hurriedly.
"Jing'er, stop!"
Gao Jing turned a deaf ear and insisted on going with him.
Gao Ji raised his voice.
"Gao Jing, your father orders you to stop!"
Gao Jing stopped and turned around.
Gao Ji thought he had successfully called his son back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Jing behaved in a dignified manner and performed the ceremony with great respect.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After the ceremony, Gao Jing followed without any hesitation.
The situation was unexpected and Gao Ji was shocked.
"Gao Jing! Jing'er..."
Gu Yihe and Gao Jing both walked out of Prince Dijin's mansion and got on the carriage.
Gao Jing thought about it and asked.
"Do you want to go back to the emperor?"
He spoke softly, expressing his intentions.
"The Gao family has assisted Emperor Yan for hundreds of years. I will never allow you to ruin the family's reputation just for your own selfish interests."
"You have been misunderstood and plotted against. You have no choice but to return to the emperor's service. I have no objection and I understand your feelings."
"But I will not change my mind."
"I will withdraw from the court, hide among the people, and not get involved in any party's affairs."
Gu Yihe felt helpless after hearing this.
"Do you still believe that this was a plot by my father's ministers to kidnap Princess Yuexi and sow discord in order to lure me back?"
Gao Jing's eyes were filled with confusion.
"They all say so, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Didn't you also say that Young Master Ning is indeed a minister of the Emperor, and not loyal to Prince Li?"
Gu Yihe tried hard to explain.
"Ning Cangmo has indeed surrendered to my father."
"It is very likely that he is the one who kidnapped Princess Yuexi."
"But this doesn't prove that this plan was done by my father."
"I have to say that Father has taken action, but so has my eldest brother."
"Oh, the strategy is a bit complicated. I've explained it many times, but you just don't understand."
"In short, it is the people of the Great Emperor who are using Ning Cangmo to achieve their own goals; conversely, Ning Cangmo also feels that he is using the Great Emperor to achieve his own goals."
"Do you understand?"
Gao Jing's pupils were spinning with anxiety.
"Uh...uh..."
Gu Yihe's patience was exhausted.
"You only know how to practice martial arts all day long, and you don't know anything about strategy."
"You grew up together with Lord Lin and claimed to be as close as brothers. Why don't you learn from him? You are so conceited and arrogant!"
Gao Jing took the blame on himself.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Gu Yihe softened her heart and took the initiative to hold his hand.
"I'm angry, don't take my words seriously."
Gao Jing's mouth curled up sweetly.
"Yeah, I understand. Don't take it seriously."
Gu Yihe gradually regained her patience and continued to explain the situation.
"My father treats me without any affection."
"I have announced to the public that I will follow my uncle and father and I will never be able to go back."
"If the plot to sow discord was set up by my father, the purpose is self-evident, it is only to take my life."
"My grandfather and his people are still planning something for my father. If he uses this plan to get rid of me, even if he can avenge his hatred, the price is too high. In theory, my father will not do this."
"So I guess this is a plan by my eldest brother."
Gao Jing was shocked.
"According to you, you want to go to King Li?"
He turned to be distressed.
"He's elusive, where can we find him?"
"Although we learned from Master Ning that Prince Li was in Shuying County, the officials of the Supervisory Office have searched Shuying County from top to bottom and have not found any trace of him."
"Many people have searched for it but to no avail. There are only two of us. Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
Gu Yihe has a graceful appearance.
"If the separation is successful, my eldest brother will have a way to lead me to his residence."
Gao Jing spoke affectionately and expressed his true feelings.
"Are you really going to join King Li?"
"Since you can't go back to the emperor's side, why don't we just live in seclusion and lead a civilian life, isn't that good?"
Gu Yihe analyzed and answered his doubts in detail.
"If I return to my father's service, he will take the Sioux into consideration and will not rashly attack me. If I return to the people, my father can send people to track us down and kill us quietly."
"We have lost the protection of the Emperor's uncle. This is a great opportunity for the Emperor. He will definitely stop at nothing to eradicate the problem."
"Under all heaven, the king's land belongs to him. Father holds great power. There is no place for us, whether among the common people or in the mountains and forests."
Gao Jing pondered for a moment and made a quick decision.
"Prince Li is your elder brother. I can understand why you are going to him to protect yourself."
"I have made my mind clear and will never change it. I hope you can understand me."
"From now on, wherever you are, I will be there. Unless you drive me away, we will never be separated."
Gu Yihe stretched out her arms and hugged him.
"Thank you, Jinglang."
She tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
"In fact, I don't want to change my mind. It's not because I'm loyal to Emperor Yan, but I just want to live up to Princess Yuexi's kindness."
"I surrendered to my eldest brother because I had no other choice, and I wanted to go deep into the enemy camp and find a chance to rescue the princess."
"I believe that with the princess's eloquence and persuasion, we will surely have hope of returning to the service of the emperor's uncle."
Gao Jing responded with a hug, full of tenderness.
"Well, let me help you."
Gu Yihe punched his chest neither too hard nor too lightly.
"What can you accomplish? You'll only cause more trouble."
"When the time comes, you will be exposed, causing the plan to fail, and I will fail to rescue you again."
"This is about Princess Yuexi, so don't take it lightly. Let's choose an inn, you stay there, and I'll go rescue the princess alone."
Gao Jing was reluctant to leave and hugged her even tighter.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After settling Gao Jing down and taking care of everything to ensure his safety, Gu Yihe returned to the Su Mansion.
On the way, she received a secret letter from Gu Yuanqiong. Following the instructions in the letter, she went to Danbo Ya's house step by step.
