Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

"How can I help the princess?"

Gu Yao held An Jinshu's hand, her eyes were red and bloodshot, pitiful and terrifying, her voice was mixed with panic and confusion.

"Can you help me beg my father not to betroth me to that man? I really have no choice. Even though I cry at home every day and shed tears of blood, my father is determined to marry me. I don’t know what to do if I’m betrothed.”

An Jinshu didn't know how to comfort her to make her feel better. She was a woman in a boudoir with no rank and no power. How could she help her?

She wanted to help her, but she had no choice at the moment.

She went to seek help from Prince Duan?

How can a father who can sell his children for money listen to good advice?

But looking at Gu Yao's mood at this time, An Jinshu couldn't bear to refuse her. She had already seen the look of death on Gu Yao's face, and was afraid that the other party had exhausted all her methods to no avail before begging her.

She didn't know what kind of existence she was in Gu Yao's heart, and she didn't know why the other party felt that he could help her get out of the predicament, but one thing An Jinshu knew for sure was that she couldn't refuse Gu Yao.

She couldn't bear it and couldn't. She didn't want the meeting with her today to be the last time in her life, so An Jinshu thought for a long time and then softly replied to her: "Let me think about it."

An Jinshu didn't reject her, but he didn't agree immediately. Gu Yao was only thirteen years old now. Even after exchanging Geng Tie, she still had to wait until she was old enough to get married. There was still such a long time, so An Jinshu would not be in a hurry. This kind of thing must be carefully considered.

Seeing that An Jinshu did not reject her, Gu Yao immediately cried and smiled, crying with joy: "I knew you would help me..." Gu Yao cried even harder: "Only you are willing Help me. In fact, I have been blaming myself for so many days. I didn't firmly defend you in Wuqi Pavilion. I always wanted to come to your door and apologize to you, but my father put me under house arrest and wouldn't let me leave the house. I climbed over the wall and tried to steal. When I ran out, he beat me..."

As she spoke, Gu Yao rolled up the sleeves on her arms. As soon as the gauze was removed, shocking whip marks were revealed. The whip marks on the woman's delicate and fair skin were like thick ink staining rice paper, which could not be recovered.

An Jinshu's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart was filled with unbearable anger. How could Prince Duan bear such a heavy blow!

"You've been so haggard these days... no wonder you're so haggard." An Jinshu pulled her arm sadly and covered it with her, only to feel a bulge.

As a woman, An Jinshu felt the same way. She couldn't imagine what Gu Yao had gone through these days. A good girl was tortured like this. The person who tortured her so far was her respected father. She was afraid of the harm to her body and mind. I can't let it go for the rest of my life.

The last bit of blame towards Gu Yao was gone. An Jinshu felt sorry for her but also had some doubts: "Why did I suddenly choose a marriage for you? Although two thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, for your family it should be It’s not worth mentioning.”

A prince shouldn't be so poor, right?

But An Jinshu had forgotten that as an idle prince in name only, these two thousand taels of gold were a huge windfall for Prince Duan, not to mention selling a daughter who was about to get married for this. He can abandon other children without hesitation.

Gu Yao curled her lips sadly: "It's all just an illusion. Everything that can be seen by outsiders is for the sake of the palace's dignity."

She didn't need to say more. An Jinshu had already understood the meaning of her smile and words. She let go of her hand and hugged her gently: "There are so many unsatisfactory things in life. Compared with these mixed things, Keep the rocks on your feet and move forward, you will see the beautiful scenery of Qingchuan lakes and snow-capped mountains. Compared with those beautiful things and beautiful scenery, looking back, those bad things are nothing."

Gu Yao froze, then raised her hand and slowly pushed An Jinshu away. There were tears in her eyes, but the smile on her lips was not sad: "You are right, I shouldn't be like this for such a trivial matter." I'm so depressed that I haven't seen the beautiful mountains and rivers, nor have I stayed with my beloved, so I can't give up."

An Jinshu saw that the lifeless look in her eyes was gradually fading, and felt a little relieved: "Wipe your tears and follow me back to the dining room. It seems that you haven't eaten well recently and your face has become thinner."

Such relaxed words made Gu Yao's nerves, which had been tense for so many days, finally relax. She smiled and nodded heavily.

When the two were about to leave, Gu Yao suddenly stopped. Before An Jinshu could ask her, she took out a brocade box from somewhere. The brocade box was small and exquisite, covered with fine fabrics and embroidered with the royal plate pattern. Gu Yao awkwardly handed the brocade box to An Jinshu, her eyes wandering as she said, "This is my apology gift to you. I hope you won't dislike it."

An Jinshu took the brocade box in surprise and looked at Gu Yao curiously: "What is it?"

Gu Yao was unwilling to tell her: "You will know after you open it and take a look."

So mysterious? An Jinshu opened the brocade box out of curiosity, and her eyes instantly showed surprise.

A handkerchief made of fine snow and embroidered with several magnolia flowers lay quietly in the brocade box, exuding a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers.

"You gave me a handkerchief?" An Jinshu looked at Gu Yao in surprise: "You want to..."

"Yes!" Gu Yao nodded firmly: "I want to become a close friend of Yanyan and you!"

An Jinshu lowered her head and glanced at the handkerchief in the brocade box again. The magnolia flowers on the handkerchief were lifelike, with lush branches and leaves, and were extremely elegant. She suddenly laughed out loud: "Did you embroider them?"

Gu Yao's cheeks turned red, she bit her lip and turned away: "Yeah"

After receiving the reply, An Jinshu smiled and took out the fragrant handkerchief, turned it over and over in front of his eyes, and then stared at Gu Yao with suspicion: "You are not trying to trick me with this just to get me to help you."

"This, I really embroidered it myself. Although I asked you for help, I have absolutely no other thoughts about this veil." Gu Yao explained hastily, fearing that An Jinshu would misunderstand her.

An Jinshu deliberately let out a long oh, and then moved forward mischievously: "But why do I think you didn't just give me this veil to apologize? You couldn't...do it for me?" Brother."

Gu Yao's face suddenly turned red. She really didn't know that An Jinshu could talk so well. She lowered her head and twisted her sleeves: "No, don't talk nonsense."

Looking at her coquettish look, An Jinshu sneered, "This is better, it's better than the lifeless look just now."

"That's all, for the sake of your hard work, I'll just accept it. But I have to declare in advance that I'm not a good embroiderer. Don't expect me to give you back an embroidery of the same quality."

Gu Yao was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, she looked at An Jinshu and smiled: "As long as it's Yanyan, I can give it to you."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the sound of the girl's silver bell-like laughter filled the space, and followed the bird that spread its wings and flew into the sky.
