As long as Rong’cr was fine, any price he paid was worth it.
Chu You anxiously pulled Gu Yunrong’s fair little hand out and held it tightly. “Let’s go.”
Gu Yunrong also looked at Chu You in a daze.
He had also lost weight and looked haggard.
It must have been hard on him because of her.
Gu Yunrong had many questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Chu You, but when she thought that this wasn’t the right place, she finally shut her mouth.
“Your Highness, you have to save us. We’re innocent. Madam Lei wronged us.” Gu Jian, who was in the next room, quickly pulled himself together from his dispirited state. He told himself in his heart that since Kang w.a.n.g could save Gu Yunrong, he definitely had a way to save them.
“That’s right, we were wronged.” Gu Xiao grabbed the wooden fence of the cell tightly and shouted at Chu You with red eyes. His voice was hoa.r.s.e, as if it had been tempered by sand and rocks.
“Girl, tell His Highness well that he has to save us…” Madam w.a.n.g shouted excitedly, her tears falling like rain.
Her hair was messy, and her eyes were in a panic. She was so panicked that she couldn’t control herself. She really couldn’t stay in this d.a.m.n place anymore. The past 10 days had been like an endless nightmare to her.
However, no matter how they shouted, Chu You didn’t say a word, as if he didn’t hear them.
Gu Yunrong composed herself and instructed Gu Jian in the cell next door gently, “Father, take good care of Grandma…”
“Are you leaving or not?” The Embroidered Uniform Guards rudely interrupted Gu Yunrong. Even when facing the dignified Kang w.a.n.g, they still had an imposing aura.
Gu Yunrong frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Chu You. The dim light cast a shadow on his face, making his facial features look deep and cold.
But his large palm was so hot as he held her hand tightly, and his temperature was terrifyingly high. He only said two words, “Let’s go.”
He held Gu Yunrong’s thin hand forcefully and gently as they walked out.
When the Embroidered Uniform Guards carrying lanterns left with Chu You and Gu Yunrong, the light also disappeared into the distance. The surroundings became darker and darker, and darkness swallowed them bit by bit.
The darkness brought uneasiness, fear, and anxiety.
Looking at Chu You’s departing figure, Gu Jian suddenly felt that the other party would never look back, and his heart skipped a beat.
He swallowed his saliva and looked at Old Madam Gu in the cell opposite with sweat all over his face. He said anxiously, “Mother, what if…”
If even Kang w.a.n.g couldn’t save the Gu family, what should they do?
Would their entire family be beheaded or exiled 3,000 miles away?
Old Madam Gu looked more than ten years older, and her temples were covered in silver hair.
She clenched the prayer bead bracelet in her hand hard, as if she was comforting her son, but also herself. She said in a low voice, “The second girl is a child with a conscience. If Kang w.a.n.g can save her, she will also let Kang w.a.n.g save us.”
When Gu Jian, Madam w.a.n.g, and the others heard that, hope ignited in their dark and gray eyes.
She kept telling herself: Thats right, Gu Yunrong will definitely let Kang w.a.n.g save us. We are her family. If the dignified Princess Consort Kangs entire family is punished, how would she live it down? How would Kang w.a.n.g live it down!
This was already the last straw that supported them.
As the light faded, the prison became pitch-black again. It was silent, and only low sobs sounded.
Gu Yunrong followed Chu You out of the prison in silence and left the North Town Bureau. When she got into the carriage of the prince’s residence, she still felt that it was unreal.
The carriage slowly moved forward, and the sound of the wheels echoed around. There was only Chu You and Gu Yunrong in the carriage.
Chu You hugged Gu Yunrong tightly in her arms and let her head snuggle against his chest.
The two of them were like travelers who had walked alone for a long time and finally met each other when they were exhausted. They warmed up and snuggled up to each other.
After the carriage turned the corner, it swayed slightly.
“Your Highness, is the Emperor willing to let me go?” Gu Yunrong looked up from his arms. Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling. Her hand subconsciously grabbed his shirt.
Even if she didn’t ask, she understood in her heart that Kang w.a.n.g must have paid a huge price to let her out of the imperial prison.
She was touched, but at the same time, her heart ached for his sacrifice for her.
Chu You lowered his head slightly and gently kissed the top of her head. His hot breath blew on her ear, and his iron arm shackled her even harder in his arms. That empty heart felt warm and filled again..
