Gu Wanqing sighed and asked, "Is the prince going to accept Gu Xi?"

Rong He narrowed his eyes slightly, "No."

"Then Shuchen cannot send his sister to the palace as a slave." Gu Wanqing said with a lower head, and although his tone was firm, he was respectful.

Rong He's eyes were cold, "I am the prince, I can't tolerate you saying no."

This is his rare overbearing order.

Gu Wanqing said helplessly: "Gu Xi is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, a good citizen, and she is not a cheap family, and can be traded at will. Even His Royal Highness, if you want the palace maids to enter the palace, you should pass the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, rather than breaking into the minister's residence and bringing people away directly."

Rong He stared at Gu Wanqing's neither humble nor arrogant face, his voice was exhausted, "Is it true that the prince of this palace really has no power in your heart?"

Gu Wanqing's voice reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, you must be tired during this period."

"I said that I will take Gu Xi away today!"

Rong He sang loudly, suddenly pulled out the sword of the guard next to him and pointed it at Gu Wanqing.

The people around him were all stunned.

At the gate of the general's mansion, in full view of everyone, will the prince openly chop people?

Gu Wanqing looked at the knife on her neck with her eyes slanted, and the direction of the blade did not face her.

The prince did not draw his sword seriously, nor would he cut it down, she knew.

But what I don’t know is how the prince is so in contrast with the past?

The first time we met in the garden, Rong He smiled like the spring breeze and was as gentle as jade. Compared to the cold eyes now, it seemed that after the vicissitudes of life, there was no light at all.

Rong He's voice is like frost, "Gu Wanqing, I don't want to hurt you, please give Gu Xi to me. I don't want to see anyone hurt again because of me."

"My sister, I won't be hurt again."

"Do you know that a girl is destroyed and she will be a walking corpse for the rest of her life. If you keep her by your side, you are worried, it is better to keep her by my side."

Gu Wanqing's eyebrows tightened, "I can't agree. Your Highness, are you--"

hiss--

The sound of the sword cutting through.

Gu Wanqing's hair was cut off, like dandelions flying in the air in spring.

A small wound was cut from her side face, and blood slowly oozed out.

The eunuchs and palace maids around him knelt down and shouted, "Prince Prince, please calm down!"

Although he knew that General Wan Qing was unlikely to fight back, His Highness openly hurt someone and injured a female general with the highest martial arts skills in Yan'an City, which is also a dangerous move with future troubles.

If these two people really fight, the prince has no chance of winning.

Gu Wanqing raised her hand and pointed the wound. Qingqingqianqian. The prince didn't want to hurt her.

"Your Highness, this is not good. Things like swords should not be directed towards friends, right?" she advised patiently.

Even though I only met him a few times, Gu Wanqing knew that Rong He was a gentle and good person.

Good people will not suddenly become violent, they must have difficulties.

Rong He's eyes were clearly moved, but they were quickly disappeared.

"I don't want to say it again."

When the knife in his hand wanted to exert force again, two white shadows suddenly appeared flying through the sky and landed beside Gu Wanqing and Rong He respectively.

"Your Highness!"

"Wanqing!"

Bai Jue hugged Gu Wanqing and took two steps back, vigilantly setting a distance with Rong He.

Gu Wanqing looked up in surprise, and Bai Jue was looking at Rong He with some hostility. His side face was still a little haggard, his eyes were slightly red, and the symptoms were probably not completely cured.

Bai Ling knocked off the knife in Rong He's hand and the blade fell to the ground.

He grabbed Rong He's arm with great strength.

Rong He wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible but couldn't, so he simply gave up and let him catch it.

"Why are you here?" He was not asking, he spoke coldly.

Bai Ling frowned, and for the first time he saw the alienation in the eyes of Yan He.

"Brother is worried about Your Highness. When he heard that Your Highness's carriage had left the palace today, he hurried over and took a look. Fortunately, he came."

Bai Jue answered for Bai Ling.

Rong He lowered his eyes and avoided Bai Ling's gaze, "If you come in time or not, I will take Gu Xi away and return to the palace with me."

Bai Ling and Bai Jue looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the prince rushed over and was not targeting Gu Wanqing, but Gu Xi.

Bai Ling knew Rong He very well. He had little stubborn temper, but it was imperative to come here after leaving the palace.

"General Wanqing, the Crown Prince must do this. Let Miss Gu Xi return to the palace with the Crown Prince. Bai Ling promised that Gu Xi would not be hurt." Bai Ling said to Gu Wanqing.

Gu Wanqing wanted to take a step forward and was determined not to agree to this strange request.

But Bai Jue grabbed her shoulder with both hands and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, leave it to your brother. It's not the best way to stay in a stalemate with the prince now."

The hot temperature in his palm seemed to soothe her emotions, and the anxiety and worries just now disappeared.

It took a long time before Gu Wanqing was willing to compromise, "Please wait for the prince, and I will pick up my sister."

...

In the general's mansion.

Gu Xi was shocked when he heard this.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince wants me to be taken into the palace?"

Gu Wanqing helped her lower her head to pack up her things in the house, "Sister will take good care of herself when she enters the palace this time."

She didn't say much about anything else.

No matter how Gu Xi asked the reason, Gu Wanqing kept silent.

After packing up her things, she led Gu Xi to the door of the mansion.

There is still a distance from Gu Xi's residence to the mansion. The two of them walked in the garden one by one and the other. Gu Xi followed behind, looking at the back of Gu Wanqing who was silent.

"What kind of person is Your Highness...?" Gu Xi asked softly.

Gu Wanqing's pace slowed down, "He is a good person, but he will definitely not be able to rely on his sister. I also hope that my sister will understand this. When your highness calms down, I will take her back home again."

Her tone was like a packaged robot, just without emotional retelling.

Only when Gu Wanqing is extremely cautious can he speak in this tone.

She didn't doubt Gu Xi now, but she was unconsciously like this when facing Gu Xi's bottomless eyes. She didn't want Gu Xi to notice anything from her words.

Gu Xi looked embarrassed and worried, just like his previous expression, "He treated me as a pitiful person, so he wanted to take me into the palace. He did not dislike me. I am no longer a complete person. If Your Highness needs me, I should be willing to serve him as a cow or a horse."

Gu Wanqing smiled and sorted out the broken hair in her ears for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was dressed simply, with only two beads on her head.

She used to love wearing this, but during this period, this simple outfit always made her look very haggard.

Gu Wanqing has been busy with the case and has not seen Gu Xi for a few times during this period.
