Gao Qi the looked at the rest suspiciously, trying to see if he can find the being that placed his daughter on a very tight spot! What if Gao Lan Mei will be involved in a political plot?!Finally getting back his senses, "Royal Father, it was a mistake!" Chen Yun Ming stated. "This is a trap that was set against me!" He stated as he kneeled to beg to his father. They are not prepared yet!
Chen Yun Ming does not know who betrayed him but he will find out. He then tried to look at Gao Lan Mei to seek help. "Miss Gao, please tell my father that I never spoke that!" For him, if Gao Lan Mei would not acknowledge he can always claim that his voice was just copied!
"Mei"er speak up! What is the meaning of this!" Gao Qi asked Gao Lan Mei before the emperor did.
With a wrinkled brow, "Father, the second prince just drop by to bring food. That"s all. I do not want to marry him. Then he spoke like he plans to take the throne... " Gao Lan Mei stated.
"Your Highness please believe me! I know nothing about this!" She shrieks to the emperor.
Emperor Chen Xizhun does not have any problem believing Gao Lan Mei so he nodded.
Then he laughed aloud, "Deacon Ma my children are old enough! And one of my sons wants to challenge me for the throne, care to facilitate??" The emperor asked the Deacon casually but his eye can clearly see his disdain and anger.
"Of course. Not now though, I need to clean your previous mess." Deacon Ma uttered, pointing at Li Huan on the ground.
With a smirk, "Of course. Guards, throw Chen Yung Ming to the dungeon, he will stay there until the day of the royal match for the throne!" The emperor exclaimed with indifference as he looked down at Chen Yung Ming.
Unlike Empress Ming who is too noisy when being dragged, Chen Yung Ming, on the other hand, is silent, however, he is glaring at Gao Lan Mei with all hostility he can muster at this time.
"Hmmm. That was interesting." Sung Zhi Ruo commented knowingly. "Miss Gao I want you to have this..." She whispered raising a red pendant with Sung family engraved on it.
"This is a pendant from the Sung Family. We are staying at the Gu family right now. I like you. If you want we can be friends." Sung Zhi Ruo said softly.
"I will think about it." Gao Lan Mei stated, then realizing that when Ms. Sung started talking to her, no one else bothered even from the other families. She then looked at the woman intently, trying to read her intention.
"What do you mean you will think about it? It should be your honor to be friends with our Young Miss!" Elder Gu exclaimed.
"I do not know you yet." Gao Lan Mei stated, ignoring Elder Gu. "You can take this back." She started giving back the pendant that Sung Zhi Ruo have provided.
Instead of being offended, Sung Zhi Ruo just smiled and refused to receive the pendant, "You have a point. Just keep this, for now, you will never know it will come in handy in the future."
"We just met today so it"s understandable. Let me visit you sometime so we can get further acquainted. When you are available." Sung Zhi Ruo said giving Gao Lan Mei a warm smile.
"Till next time then." Sung Zhi Ruo stated, "Elder Gu, let"s go!" she turned around to leave the arena.
They already served their purpose as an audience, so there is really no need to further stay. That also goes for the other from the Immortal Domain that served as an audience.
Then Gao Qi uttered to the Emperor, "Your Highness, my daughter proved her innocence. We would like to request to leave soon so she can rest."
