The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Gu Liaohe's tone was gentle and sincere. Ning Ziqing listened silently, feeling a little shaken in her heart.

She understood that what Gu Liaohe said made sense, and at the same time, she also knew that the relationship between herself and Huo Yunjue was very awkward.

After listening to Gu Liaohe's advice, Ning Ziqing felt quite conflicted. She fell into deep thought. Finally, she expressed her gratitude to Gu Liaohe: "Thank you Gu Shaoqing for your advice. I will seriously consider it."

She smiled slightly. Although her expression was gentle, she was a little hesitant in her heart. After seeing Gu Liaohe leave, she sighed softly, thinking a lot.

She couldn't help but think of every moment she spent with Huo Yunjue, the warmth and support he gave her, and the deep love he gave her.

Ning Ziqing lowered her head, a little confused. She didn't know how to choose.

In the evening, news came from the palace that Emperor Yao had listened to Huo Yunjue's advice and asked a number of witnesses to verify the matter.

But he did not make an immediate decision, but began to think about weighing the pros and cons and trying to find the most appropriate solution.

Because this matter is related to the interests of all parties including the Duke of Qi and Princess Jiarou.

As the elder of the two dynasties and the founding hero of the country, Duke Guo of Qi was highly respected and trusted by officials.

Finally, Emperor Yao took a deep breath, not only to punish Princess Jiarou, but also to consider the overall situation.It really made him feel a little embarrassed, so he decided to put the matter aside for the time being and discuss it later.

He told everyone: "I will discuss this matter with the courtiers tomorrow morning and make the most appropriate decision based on the actual situation."

Then everyone was dismissed, and everyone expressed their understanding and respect after hearing the words.

Huo Yunjue sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that this matter would not be solved easily.

He did not want to punish Princess Jiarou because of his personal feelings, but because he wanted to seek justice for Ning Ziqing and everyone else, he felt that this matter must be dealt with seriously.

He only hoped that Emperor Yao could judge fairly and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

He also understands Emperor Yao's difficulties. If this incident is not handled properly, it may cause backlash and dissatisfaction from both the government and the public.

After all, the Duke of Qi's current power in the court cannot be easily shaken.

He thought for a long time and finally decided to leave the matter to Emperor Yao and the court. No matter what the final result was, he happily accepted it.

It was night, Huo Yunjue put on his night clothes and led a few soldiers to quietly lurk around several high-ranking mansions, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

Not long after, I heard screams of pain coming from deep in the alley.

When the Jinwu Guards arrived quickly, they saw a young man lying on the ground, beaten beyond recognition, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was covered in blood.

They carefully searched the scene and found that the ground had been cleared, leaving no obvious traces or clues.

The lieutenant general of Jinwu Guard couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that the opponent was well prepared.

In Xiyuan of Ninghou Mansion, Ning Ziqing went to bed early. Huo Yunjue climbed over the wall easily. As soon as he walked to the door of Ningzi Qingfang, he saw Yinxiang standing at the door, as if he had known it for a long time. He will come and wait there on purpose.

"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you are here." Yinxiang saluted him, "The young lady has already gone to bed. She asked the servant to tell you. She doesn't want to see you tonight, please go back, Your Highness."

Huo Yunjue frowned, thinking that Ning Ziqing had quite a temper and was still angry with him. He ignored Yinxiang's obstruction and insisted on going in. He and Yinxiang were in a stalemate at the door.

Yinxiang stretched out her hands to block the door and refused to let him in. Huo Yunjue looked displeased and was about to scold her when he heard Ning Ziqing's voice coming from the room.

"Yinxiang, please come in, Your Highness the Fourth Prince!"

"Miss!" Yinxiang still wanted to stop her.

"You can't stop him!" Ning Ziqing took a deep breath, her expression a little complicated.

"Your Highness, please come in." Yinxiang had no choice but to open the door and let Huo Yunjue in, then closed the door while she guarded the door.

"Qingqing, are you still angry with me?" After entering, Huo Yunjue went straight to her bed, but Ning Ziqing stopped him coldly.

"Your Highness, don't come over, just stand there." Huo Yunjue couldn't help but be startled and looked at Ning Ziqing, who was covered by the bed curtain, with a dark light in his eyes.

"Are you going to pretend to be unfamiliar with me again?" Huo Yunjue's face darkened.

Ning Ziqing didn't answer his words, just sat silently on the bed, looking at the figure in the darkness.

"Qingqing, I know I shouldn't be angry with you today." Huo Yunjue apologized to her, "I just want to know your past. Even if you only tell me a few words, don't let me make random guesses." Huo Yunjue said in a tone of voice. Slightly, with a little expectation, he stared at Ning Ziqing in the bed curtain.

When Ning Ziqing heard this, her heart fluctuated.

She had been trying her best to hide her past and didn't want to tell him too much because she wasn't sure whether Huo Yunjue could understand and accept it.

If you tell him everything about the relationship between you and the second prince in your past life, will he still accept you?Ning Ziqing began to hesitate.

After a brief silence, she finally spoke slowly: "Your Highness, I need some time to think."

"Let's not meet for now. I'll tell you after I think about it."

Ning Ziqing's expression was invisible in the darkness. Huo Yunjue's eyes flashed with disappointment after hearing her words. He stared blankly at the beautiful figure in the bed curtain, his voice a little hoarse:

"You still don't want to tell me the truth? Are you deliberately finding an excuse to deal with me!" Huo Yunjue chuckled. He couldn't understand: Is it so difficult for Ning Ziqing to tell the truth?Or she never cared about her own feelings.

"You don't believe me?" Ning Ziqing heard the disappointment in his voice and felt a little uneasy. "I didn't hide anything from you on purpose. I just need time to think about how to speak to you." Ning Ziqing tightened her grip. He bit his lower lip, breathing quickly and uneasily.

"Do you think I should believe you?" Huo Yunjue's tone began to become a little cold.

"Ning Ziqing, from the moment you planned to enter the harem, to the time you deliberately led me to investigate the second prince's smuggling of refined iron, to the time you roped in Wei Zhaoyi to help you frame Concubine Yue, and then to the time you threatened Tan Tang to help you deceive His Majesty, you did everything carefully. , just to dispel the second prince’s idea of ​​accepting you as his concubine?”

When Ning Ziqing heard this, she began to panic.She didn't expect that Huo Yunjue had seen through her actions.

"You told me that you and he have a mortal feud. You hated him and that's why you agreed to cooperate with me to deal with him. No matter whether you are sincere to me or just want to use me, I just want you to tell me one thing. What exactly are you doing? Why do you hate him?" A trace of sadness and pain flashed across Huo Yunjue's eyes, and there was some anger in his voice.

Ning Ziqing was a little depressed by his repeated questioning, and her face turned slightly pale. However, she could not face the fear and pain deep in her heart about the past. She grabbed the quilt with both hands and tried to control her emotions.

"Huo Yunjue, you believe me." She tried to calm down his anger, "I never thought of using you, it's just because my past is too complicated and I need time to process it."

"Okay, I'll give you time. I only want to ask you one thing today." Huo Yunjue's tone became more cold and stiff, as if he was trying to cover up his inner loss and doubts.

"Have you ever admired the second prince? I want to hear the truth!" He stared at the blurry figure in the bed curtain, as if he wanted to see the answer deep in the other person's heart through the darkness.
