Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Zhicheng sighed, saying, Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This old servant is powerless and cant control this unfilial daughter. Everything is at Your Majestys discretion.

This implied that he wouldnt interfere with Gu Qingluans fate.

Without Royal Prince Lan supporting Gu Qingluan, Emperor Xuanzong would have easily pa.s.sed judgment, but now he was uncertain about how to proceed. He furrowed his brows and turned to inquire about the Crown Princes opinion.

The Crown Prince had been responsible for hosting Royal Prince Lan initially, so he should understand him best.

Qi Tianyou couldnt help but bitterly smile inwardly.

If he could discipline Miss Gu, he wouldnt have needed to cover up the truth about the Fifth Princes death for her.

Unfortunately, secrets dont stay hidden forever.

The commotion at the Fifth Princes residence had attracted too much attention. If Duke Dingbeis household investigated even a little, they would uncover the true culprit.

Qi Tianyou glanced at Gu Qingluan and then fixed his gaze on Duke Dingbei and his son. He began, Duke Dingbei, theres something you may not know. On the day, that person whom my fifth brother has taken

Before he could finish, Gu Qingluan interrupted, On the day my son was taken by Qi Tianyu, he stumbled upon a secret chamber. Do you know what Qi Tianyue did in that chamber?

She had a hunch about what the Crown Prince was about to reveal.

He likely intended to use Yuan Xi and his fathers ident.i.ties to intimidate these people.

However, she didnt want that.

Yuan Xi and his father had concealed their ident.i.ties when they arrived in Chengyuan, and they must have had their reasons. She didnt want them to be forced to reveal their true selves because of her.

Moreover, considering yesterdays ambush on Feng Tianlan in the black market, she could only imagine how many powerful forces were after him.

She didnt know if they were targeting him because he was Royal Prince Lan, but if they were, revealing Feng Tianlans ident.i.ty would put him and Yuan Xi in grave danger.

Qi Tianyou glanced at Gu Qingluan and chose not to continue.

No matter what he did, its not a reason for you to kill him! Li Miao Wu angrily declared.

Gu Qingluan smiled.

Is that so?

Her beautiful eyes glimmered with a deeper meaning as she fixed her gaze on Duke Dingbeis face. They say Duke Dingbei has earned great merits for Chengyuan, being a great hero of this country. But if news were to spread that your grandson forcibly imprisoned dozens of innocent women, would your reputation still stand?

Nonsense! Li Miao Wu exclaimed loudly, his eyes glaring fiercely at Gu Qingluan. Youve already killed the Fifth Prince, and now youre trying to slander him further. How can you be so heartless!

Duke Dingbeis expression darkened, and he stared intensely at her.

Gu Qingluan smiled serenely. General Li, stay calm. Your intense reaction makes me wonder if you knew something all along.

The Fifth Prince is my nephew; how can 1 remain indifferent when hes falsely accused by this murderer? Li Miao Wus gaze flickered for a moment, and he spoke with righteousness.

Gu Qingluan chuckled. Oh, well, a prince holds a high and influential position. Even if he keeps a few women, its nothing extraordinary. General Li, 1 suspect your agitation isnt really about that. Instead, its She let her eyes spin playfully as her words hung in the air, relis.h.i.+ng the tension in his expression.

Shut up, you venomous woman! Today, 1 will seek justice for the Fifth Prince!

Li Miao Wu feared that Gu Qingluan would reveal the unspeakable secret and rushed to cover her mouth.

Not far off, Gu Zhicheng promptly stepped aside, wearing a sly smile on his face.

What a fool. Didnt he know Gu Qingluans level of cultivation? He dared to charge at her, practically seeking his own death.

Gu Qingluan tsked and looked at the charging Li Miao Wu. She casually raised her hand and gave a light wave.

Smack!

With a mere palm strike through the air, Li Miao Wu was sent flying.

On the rooftop, Gu Xiaonans eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, Mother is formidable!

Feng Yuanxi nodded in agreement.

Mother was truly incredible.

Duke Dingbei couldnt contain himself and stood up in anger.

Qi Tianyous brow twitched.

This

Did General Li lack common sense? He actually a.s.saulted a Saint in this place.

Emperor Xuanzongs throat tightened, and he grabbed the armrest of his dragon throne. Outrageous! You should know what place this is! How dare you resort to violence here!

Gu Qingluan lowered her hand, turned to face Emperor Xuanzong, and innocently said, Your Majesty, please calm down. General Li seems to have been overwhelmed by grief and temporarily lost his composure in front of the royal presence. To help him realize the gravity of the situation, 1 had no choice but to wake him up.
