Chunyu replied honestly: "Recently, in order to avoid suspicion, Mr. Xie has not been to Pei's residence for a long time. The eldest princess will not ask Mr. Xie for ordinary things, and even if she wants to enter the palace to see you, she will not let Mr. Xie The adults did it for them."

For a while, Gu Ning fell silent.

Even though Xie Yan has high martial arts skills and profound internal strength, it is not an easy task to come and go freely in the imperial city. He took such a big risk to enter the palace because he was worried about his own safety. Over time, she kept alienating Xie Yan many times...

Her eyes were dim, and she lowered her head after a while, Chunyu couldn't see her expression clearly, but could only vaguely perceive her depression at this moment.

"Is he still kneeling in the yard now?"

Hearing Gu Ning's muffled words, Chunyu nodded subconsciously.

The next moment, Chunyu saw the figure in front of him running out like flying.

Oops!

Seeing this, Chunyu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly chased after her: "County Master, the Eldest Princess is angry now, it's useless for you to persuade her, it can only add fuel to the flames."

But Gu Ning knew well that the eldest princess was angry not only because Xie Yan entered the palace to visit her, but more importantly...she might find that she and Xie Yan had already...

Once thinking of this, Gu Ning quickened his pace again.

Chunyu's chatter was all left behind by her, and she only thought about saving Xie Yan from danger.

The eldest princess's courtyard has always been quiet, and no one has dared to make any noise in the past few days. The servants who came out of the corridor cautiously lowered their heads, only daring to look at the man kneeling in the courtyard from the corner of their eyes.

Xie Yan was dressed in an official uniform, holding an official hat and knelt on the ground.

Even kneeling on the ground, his back was straight. The bright red official uniform and black cloak set off his face like a crown jade, handsome and extraordinary.

The eldest princess sat in the hall and took a sip of tea leisurely.

Beside her, Nanny Gui whispered: "Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain, Mr. Xie has been kneeling for almost two hours, how about..."

"Not even a quarter of an hour less." The Eldest Princess said in a cold tone, "Gui Nanny, go there and watch. When the stick of incense burns out, let Master Xie go."

"Yes." Nanny Gui replied in a low voice, not daring to speak for Xie Yan anymore.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

"Let me in!"

"You dare to stop me?"

The clear and melodious female voice was full of anger, and the maid outside the door apologized again and again, but was pushed in.

When the eldest princess heard this movement, she frowned: "Ning'er! Stop messing around!"

Gu Ning lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped over the threshold aggressively, but she turned off the fire when she met the eldest princess' eyes: "Grandma, I just have something to ask of you."

Her tone weakened, with a pleading tone.

However, the Eldest Princess, who has always been responsive to Gu Ning, was uncharacteristic today. She slapped the table heavily, and said in a cold tone: "What? You want to intercede for him?"

Gu Ning glanced at the princess's face, and obediently said: "I just think it's unfair for you to do this."

"Xie Yan was also worried about my safety, so he entered the palace to visit me." Gu Ning said weakly, "You can't punish him for this matter, can you?"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled coldly: "In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"

Gu Ning secretly said in his heart that it was over. Hearing the meaning of the eldest princess's words, it was clearly because of a deeper reason, but when he thought about what he and Xie Yan had done in recent days, it seemed that there was only one thing...

When she was thinking about the countermeasures carefully, the Eldest Princess snorted coldly, interrupting all her thoughts: "If you step back now, I can still let you go, otherwise, once I pursue it, you will also run away." but!"

As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, Gu Ning made a "plop" and knelt heavily on the ground paved with bluestone slabs.

She pursed her lips and did not speak, but expressed her position with actions.

The eldest princess laughed back in anger: "Okay! You actually contradicted me for a man! I thought you had changed!"

"Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of the minister!" Xie Yan lost his usual composure, and with a big hand, he blocked Gu Ning behind him, "If the princess wants to punish, the minister will never complain!"

"Princess, the incense has been burned out." Nanny Gui reminded in a low voice.

The Eldest Princess put down her teacup, and said to Xie Yan coldly: "The time of two hours is up, you can go back."

Xie Yan still knelt on the ground, blocking Gu Ning behind him tightly: "I know that I have made a big mistake, and if I want to be beaten or punished, I will obey the princess' orders."

"Okay!" The Eldest Princess smiled coldly, "Since you are looking for death, I will help you!"

"Gui Momo, go and fetch the whip!" She said in a cold tone, "I want to see how long you can last!"

Gu Ning's pupils constricted, and he immediately thought of Princess Dachang's superb whip technique. With that whip, even Xie Yan couldn't last long.

What's more, Xie Yan must have been whipped by the Eldest Princess. Last time for Jin Huan and his group, his injuries were not healed!

For a moment, Gu Ning felt a lot of uneasiness. She put aside all the worries in her heart, crossed the Xie Yan, trotted to the Eldest Princess, and then knelt at the Eldest Princess' feet.

"I seduced him!" Gu Ning's eyes were full of tears, "Grandma, you should punish me with alcohol! He doesn't know anything!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in this yard dropped to freezing point.

The eldest princess stared at Gu Ning, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Gu Ning, do you know what you are talking about?"

Gu Ning lowered his head, and repeated in a low voice but firmly: "I seduced Xie Yan, this matter has nothing to do with Xie Yan."

"You!" The eldest princess was extremely angry, and her raised palm was about to fall on Gu Ning's face.

Just then, someone grabbed her wrist.

Xie Yan appeared by her side at some point, and stopped her from slapping Gu Ning: "Princess, it's the minister's fault, and has nothing to do with the county lord. She just speaks freely to protect the minister."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yan knelt down and protected Gu Ning behind him.

"Okay!" The eldest princess couldn't restrain the anger in her heart, she said "good" again and again, but her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Gu Ning and Xie Yan.

"Gu Ning, what did I teach you before?" The Eldest Princess gritted her teeth, "Men are untrustworthy, so don't easily hand yourself over to a man! Isn't Chu Yunyi's lessons learned enough for you to be vigilant?"

She was angry and anxious, after saying this, she covered her chest and panted heavily, when Gu Ning saw it, she immediately went to help her, but she swung her away vigorously.

"Kneel here for me! Reflect on yourself!" The eldest princess said sharply, "Until you have reflected clearly, you kneel here, and you are not allowed to leave for a moment!"

After all, the Eldest Princess walked into the inner room with the support of Nanny Gui.

Gu Ning knelt on the ground dejectedly, staring at the gap between the bluestone slabs. She said something she shouldn't have said just now in a hurry. It's no wonder that the eldest princess was so angry.

Inside the room, the Eldest Princess' tone was very impatient. Seeing Nanny Gui who was about to leave on tiptoe, she said in a serious tone, "Nurse Gui, don't you even listen to me?"

"This old slave doesn't dare." Nanny Gui quickly waved her hand.

Just looking at the sky outside, she persuaded softly: "Princess, it's gloomy outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain soon, the county magistrate's health is not very good, you can't let me The county magistrate is kneeling in the heavy rain, right?"

"The old slave thought, why not let the county master come and kneel down in the corridor."

"Isn't she going to fight against me?" The Eldest Princess sneered, "Then let her kneel in the rain!"

The Eldest Princess gritted her teeth and spoke, obviously very angry.

Nanny Gui sighed softly: "Princess, Master Xie was also raised by you. You know his nature best. If he marries the county magistrate, don't you feel relieved?"

"Besides, haven't you been optimistic about the two of them before?"

"It's one thing to be optimistic, but they...that's another thing!" The eldest princess blushed with anger and slapped the table, "Do I want to just watch Ning'er accompany him on an adventure? Thank you Yan The road to go is close to death! Ning'er is held in my hands, how can she endure this hardship?"

When Nanny Gui heard the words, she immediately fell silent.

That road is full of thorns and abysses, if you are not careful, you will be doomed!

The eldest princess is afraid of falling in the palm of her hand to Gu Ning, and afraid of melting in her mouth. How could she bear to let Gu Ning suffer like this?

The room became silent, the Eldest Princess rubbed her brows, and it took her a while to say a word: "Okay, let her kneel for half an hour first, and as for the thank you banquet, drive him out of the house immediately!"

Nanny Gui nodded cautiously, lowered her footsteps, and walked out in small steps.

At this time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the dark sky was illuminated by lightning from time to time. After a few breaths, as the rumbling thunder sounded, Gu Ning closed his eyes and waited for the heavy rain to come.

However, as the rain fell, Gu Ning still did not feel the raindrops.

She raised her head subconsciously, and what she saw was pitch black, and when she looked again, it turned out that it was Xie Yan who lifted the cloak and put it on top of her head, protecting her from the pouring rain.

The sound of the rain was like the sound of a pipa, Gu Ning was not wet at all, she couldn't see Xie Yan's face, only the white knuckles of Xie Yan's fingers holding the corner of the cloak.

"don’t worry."

Xie Yan's voice seemed to come from far away, a little blurred in the sound of rain, but Gu Ning could hear the firmness in his words.

The two of them knelt and stood, Xie Yan's body was already wet by the rain, but under his cloak, there was a world of its own.

"I'm here." Xie Yan's voice sounded again.

Gu Ning's eyes were slightly moist, those emotions that she had ignored, the emotions that she had left behind surged up at this moment.

She tugged on Xie Yan's official robe, and said in a low voice: "Xie Yan, I will also accompany you."

No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, no matter what dangers, no matter whether her mission can be completed...

She will accompany Xie Yan until the end of time.
