"The lowly body of a lowly official can't afford this title!" Pei Anlin smiled sarcastically, and stepped forward with his head held high, with several soldiers closely following behind him.
Several people blocked the gate tightly, Chu Yunyi only brought a few confidantes, they were like a few weak chickens in front of Pei Anlin, unable to break through Pei Anlin's defense line at all.
Chu Yunyi's face was ashen. No matter how deep the city was, no matter how well-bred he was, he couldn't calm down in such a situation.
Over the years, he has always kept low in front of the Eldest Princess, and turned a blind eye to a fiancée like Gu Ning who has such a bad record, in order to marry Gu Ning into the family, so as to get the army in the hands of the Eldest Princess.
If he can't complete the task this time, not only his interests will be damaged, but even the emperor... may not be able to please him!
"I know that my uncle loves Ning'er and has been wronged, but..." Chu Yunyi's voice suddenly sank, "The woman in the room and I are indeed innocent!"
"Ning'er trusts me and will never listen to other people's slander! Please let me go in and explain clearly to Ning'er myself!"
Pei Anlin smiled back in anger, his face was as dark as ink: "Are you threatening me?"
He pressed on every step of the way, staring at Chu Yunyi coldly: "Since you know that Ning'er has a deep love for you, you shouldn't mess with women! You don't know Gu Qingqiu in the capital, and you have Hua Niang in Jiangnan." Come here, do you take our Pei family seriously?"
The veins in Chu Yunyi's clenched hands were exposed. As a prince, when had he ever been wronged like this.
But soon, he calmed down again.
"Uncle, if you are thinking of Ning'er, you shouldn't stop me from seeing her. You love Ning'er so much, and you definitely don't want to see her sad."
Chu Yunyi's look of thinking for Gu Ning made Pei Anlin feel furious.
“你真以为宁儿非你不嫁?”裴安临气得一张脸黑红交加,紧握的拳头咯咯作响,仿佛下一刻就要一拳揍上楚云逸的脸。
Chu Yunyi's face remained unchanged, and his confidantes quickly gathered around him.
"General Pei, the one standing in front of you is His Royal Highness Duan Wang!" One of them threatened, "If you go one step further, you will offend the royal family..."
"Don't back down!" Chu Yunyi sternly stopped, "How can you be disrespectful to uncle?"
Pei Anlin smiled inexplicably: "His Highness Prince Duan is so majestic! Our Pei family really can't climb a tree like yours!"
Chu Yunyi was anxious and was about to speak when he saw a person walking down the stairs slowly.
"Ning'er!" Chu Yunyi's eyes lit up, taking advantage of Pei Anlin's unpreparedness, he strode through this layer of defense and walked up to Gu Ning.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ning snorted coldly, and shook off his hand: "A savage and willful woman like me is not worthy of His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunyi didn't take it seriously.
Everything he was worried about just now disappeared after seeing Gu Ning. He was sure that Gu Ning loved him deeply and never wanted to cancel his engagement with him.
Even if Pei Anlin and the eldest princess obstructed her, she would never agree with their decision.
Gu Ning raised his eyes to look at him with a half-smile, the sarcasm in his eyes was particularly obvious.
Chu Yunyi was startled, when he wanted to investigate carefully, what he saw were Gu Ning's still clear eyes.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said softly: "Ning'er, don't get angry with me, I can explain to you clearly about that woman."
"Really?" Gu Ning crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Chu Yunyi fiercely, "She said that she has known you for more than ten years, and the jade pendant she gave me is also your personal possession! Witness The physical evidence is all there, how do you explain it?"
Chu Yunyi's handsome face was covered with a layer of cloud. He slapped the handrail of the stairs heavily, and the handrail shattered.
His face was full of anger: "I didn't expect that when I was soft-hearted for a while, I would leave such a big hidden danger. She almost drove us apart!"
"Ning'er, she is a woman I rescued 12 years ago when I was on a southern patrol with my father." Chu Yunyi frowned and said, "I was a teenager at that time. Someone gave her a large sum of money and settled her in Yangzhou, and there has been no contact since then."
"Then why did she find Jiang Ning again?" Gu Ning sneered with his arms crossed, "Could it be that saving people is false, but raising a foreign room is true?"
"Ning'er!" Chu Yunyi quickly interrupted her, his eyes were firm, and his tone was even more solemn, "Don't you believe me? I was only nine years old at the time, not to mention, besides you, there is no one else beside me." woman."
The coldness on Gu Ning's face melted away, which made Chu Yunyi feel relieved.
He held Gu Ning's hands in vain, and his every move was extremely gentle.
"She got the news that I came to Jiangning from nowhere, and blocked me when I got off the boat yesterday, and said a bunch of inexplicable things. I saw that she was pitiful, so I gave her another sum of money. He actually took the jade pendant that was close to me at that time! Not only that, but he even found you!" Chu Yunyi expressed regret, "I should have saved her if I had known her vicious heart!"
Gu Ning sneered in his heart, Chu Yunyi was coaxing himself into being a fool!Finding a reason is full of loopholes!
Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Duan Wang has always been known for his ruthless methods. He is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others. Anyone who can take advantage of him is as tall as a grave.
Can he be soft on someone he hasn't seen for more than ten years?Really ridiculous!
But at this moment, Gu Ning wanted to cooperate with his performance.
With the emperor who wanted to take away the eldest princess's military power, only when Chu Yunyi made a mistake in front of everyone could she break off the engagement logically.
All her actions now are just to make Chu Yunyi mess up and expose loopholes.
Gu Ning bit the bullet, hiding the coldness on his face a lot.
In Chu Yunyi's view, this was a sign of her being persuaded.
"Everything is said by His Royal Highness Duan." Pei Anlin said sadly, "In my opinion, it is more credible to let that woman go downstairs to confront His Highness Duan face to face."
Chu Yunyi heard the words, not only did not stop him, but nodded repeatedly: "What uncle said is very true, Qianhua, hurry up and bring that woman down!"
Among the confidantes around him, a short man came out and quickly responded: "Yes!"
The terrain on the fifth floor is enough to have a panoramic view of most of Jiangning City.
However, such a bustling scene made Xu Qingqing feel anxious.
Just halfway through the conversation, Gu Ning sent someone to capture her, but the person she arranged failed to send the news.
Trapped in this private room, news from the outside world can't be sent here, and she can't pass the news out. It's like being on an isolated island, and Gu Ning can make decisions.
Is her plan about to fail?
She clenched her hands tightly and was about to get up when a silver light flashed, and the cold sword lay across her neck.
The chill emanating from the sword made Xu Qingqing sit up straight.
Seeing her falling into such a field, Fei Yun couldn't help weeping.
"Why are you crying?" Chunyu said coolly, "My county lord is very kind-hearted, and now I'm keeping you here because I just want to ask you a few words."
It was the first time for Xu Qingqing to fall into such a passive situation. She possessed martial arts, but she couldn't show it. She could only swallow her anger and say, "Is the county lord afraid?"
Chunyu glanced at her, and said pitifully, "My county lord is not afraid of heaven and earth, so how could he be afraid of you, a little oiran?"
"Besides..." Chunyu dragged her voice, pointing out something, "As the county lord, crushing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Before Chunyu could open the door, the door was pushed open vigorously.
After seeing Chunyu, Qianhua's thin face quickly changed into a smile: "Miss Chunyu, the county magistrate ordered me to take this woman down!"
Chunyu was about to release him, but when he thought of Gu Ning's instructions, he immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "I can't hand him over to you just because of your words, what if you kill someone and silence him?"
Qian Hua explained with a smile: "The Qiyun Tower is guarded by generals inside and out. Even if the small ones have three heads and six arms, they can't break through these defenses and come to the fifth floor. Don't worry."
"That's true." Chunyu nodded, put away the sword, and pushed Xu Qingqing out forcefully.
When seeing Qianhua, Xu Qingqing burst into joy in her heart.
As soon as the door was closed, she couldn't wait to ask: "Did His Highness ask you to save me?"
"Miss Qingqing, you have caused the master a lot of trouble this time!" Qianhua's face was gloomy, and as he moved forward, he instructed, "You will go along with whatever the master says later, and you must not provoke any more anger." The county head!"
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing's face turned cold, and she immediately stood where she was, refusing to take a step forward.
Seeing this, Qianhua said "Ouch" and persuaded: "Don't be stubborn! Your Highness has absolutely no love for the county lord! Why do you have to worry about it? You know, today you came to the county lord, almost It ruined His Highness' plan!"
"If there is no love between men and women, why did Your Highness come to Jiangning from Yangzhou?" Xu Qingqing's words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth.
He treats Gu Ning with his heart, this is what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his own ears, and finally conveyed it to himself!
Now he wants to break with himself again for Gu Ning!
Thinking of this, the sour water in Xu Qingqing's heart burst out.
The pain when hearing those news is less than one ten-thousandth of what it is now!
"For a while, my subordinates can't explain it clearly, but don't worry, when His Highness gets out of this matter, he will definitely explain it to you!" Qian Hua persuaded, "But you must stop making trouble! The county lord really broke off the engagement with His Highness, so His Highness's plans for these years have all been in vain!"
Qianhua persuaded her so earnestly that her voice almost became hoarse.
Seeing that he was about to reach the first floor, he hurriedly said: "You will suffer some grievances later, and you will accept what His Highness says, and you must not provoke the county magistrate again!"
Xu Qingqing's eyes were bewildered, and in her ears were the woman's tender complaints and the gentle voice of the man.
The man's voice was all too familiar to her!
Several people blocked the gate tightly, Chu Yunyi only brought a few confidantes, they were like a few weak chickens in front of Pei Anlin, unable to break through Pei Anlin's defense line at all.
Chu Yunyi's face was ashen. No matter how deep the city was, no matter how well-bred he was, he couldn't calm down in such a situation.
