Chapter 1054: Mu Qingyin was Wounded IThe eldest prince"s face was cold. The sword in his hand was already pointing at You Lan and his eyes were filled with anger.
He did not care about Zheng Tianwu who was standing behind him when he spoke coldly. “You Lan, today no matter what your relations.h.i.+p with me is, you have done wrong. You will need to pay the price!”
You Lan"s heart trembled, but still stubbornly lifted her head and looked at the eldest prince without a shred of fear.
“Marquis Zheng…” the eldest prince"s lips lifted into a cold smile. “I agree to your request. Later, I will seek for Father Emperor to propose for You Lan to marry into the Zheng Marquis" Manor.”
Father Emperor had already intended to get rid of this Zheng Marquis" Manor. If You Lan were to marry into that family, her ending would definitely be tragic.
Therefore, why not agree with Zheng Tianwu?
As to whether Father Emperor would be willing or not…
Once the rice was cooked, for the sake of the imperial family"s dignity, Father Emperor would have to abandon You Lan.
“Come, bring You Lan away and lock her up!”
“Yes, Eldest Prince.”
In Tian Yue Kingdom, the eldest prince always hid the truth from the ma.s.ses and was incredibly powerful. Therefore, when compared to him, this princess You Lan was obviously insignificant.
She did not resist and also understood that resisting was pointless. She slowly stood up, her eyes scanning the eldest prince"s figure with sarcasm before following the guards.
Slowly disappearing into the night.
Zheng Tianwu"s eyes looked sinister. He looked in the direction in which You Lan had left and looked at the tightly shut secret room, eyes glinting darkly.
In the secret pa.s.sage.
Gu Yiyi"s fist slammed hard onto the wall. Her knuckles covered in blood as tears streamed down her face. Remorse and sadness filled her.
In the end, she got tired and lay down on the floor, crying until she could hardly breathe. After crying for some time, she slowly picked herself up and wiped the tears off of her face, turned around, and walked toward the end of the secret pa.s.sage.
The secret pa.s.sage led to a forest outside the palace. Originally it was dark, but the moment she stepped out, numerous torches lit up, encompa.s.sing the whole night sky.
Walking in front of her was a man whose hands were behind his back. He grinned and looked down at Gu Yiyi when she appeared.
“Young Lady Gu, where do you think you are going?”
Gu Yiyi"s heart sank as she clenched her fists tightly. “Zheng Tianwu!”
He already knew about the secret pa.s.sage beforehand and was already waiting for her here!
“Young Lady Gu, you have just Princess You Lan in trouble and now you want to leave?” Zheng Tianwu laughed loudly, his laughter sounded gloomy. “O, that"s right. The Eldest Prince is still looking for you everywhere. Young Lady Gu, why don"t you follow me back?”
Gu Yiyi"s eyes sank. “Dream on!”
She needed to leave this place!
Only by leaving this place would she have any hope!
“Hahaha, actually, Young Lady Gu is overthinking. How could I possibly bring you back to Eldest Prince? If you were to return to his side, how would I have a chance to kill you?
“I will never forget how you have insulted me in the palace that day!”
“Back then, we were in the palace. So, I could not touch you. Now, we are outside the palace. Even if you died, n.o.body would know!”
Zheng Tianwu raised his hand high and slowly brought it back down.
Seeing Zheng Tianwu"s gesture of order, his guards from the Marquis" Manor who were behind him took out their weapons. In an instant, everyone was facing Gu Yiyi.
Facing the people before her, Gu Yiyi was no longer afraid. She released her clenched fists and laughed a little.
