"What kind of attitude is this! I am your father, and your marriage is naturally my responsibility to worry about and decide!"

Gao Changhong was finally angered by Gao Yuanbin's cold attitude, especially when he saw that Gao Yuanbin was looking at him with a warning look. The anger that had been simmering in his heart for several days was ignited at once.

All the painstaking planning and consideration I've put into him has only earned me his cold and indifferent attitude.

If it weren't for the fact that this son was born to Ruan Ruan, would he treat him so well?

He admitted that when Gao Yuanbin was young, he was busy with politics and his wings were not yet strong enough, so he lacked care for him.

Furthermore, because he still needed to rely on the Regent's wife at that time, he ignored all the bullying and mistreatment she gave to Gao Yuanbin.

But once he truly gained power, didn't he still think about handing over everything to him to inherit?

So no matter what the Regent's wife and Gao Junning do now, I have never thought of making Gao Junning the heir apparent.

"Suit yourself, I won't be showing up that day anyway."

Gao Yuanbin showed no concern or fear whatsoever for Gao Changhong's anger. After uttering those indifferent words, he turned and left his room.

Since he won't leave, then I'll leave myself.

He had absolutely no feelings for his father, who was willing to give up everything for his own ambition.

Or perhaps he had already given up on his father when he witnessed his mother being forced away and himself being poisoned by the regent's wife during his childhood, and when his father chose to do nothing.

As Gao Changhong watched Gao Yuanbin's retreating figure shake off his gaze, he felt so angry that his head was practically steaming.

He strode out after him, but once outside, he saw Gao Yuanbin walking gently into the side room of the courtyard.

Then, Chu Yan greeted him with a beaming smile.

Gao Changhong's eyes narrowed as he watched this loving scene. Could it be that he was unwilling to marry because of this woman?

After all, given this woman's status, it was impossible for him to let her become Gao Yuanbin's legal wife; allowing her to be a concubine was already an extraordinary favor.

The wife he wanted to marry his son had to be the daughter of a noble and important official from the Northern Desert, someone who could help Gao Yuanbin in the future.

Is this the reason why Go Won-bin would rather not marry?

For a moment, Gao Changhong's thoughts became complicated.

He stood there for a while, and only turned and left after the two closed the door.

*

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Changhong's men have been searching the imperial city for so long, but they still haven't found a single trace of Xiao Ye and his group.

Even Che Yi's hiding place was searched by the guards, but nothing was found.

The city gates could not remain a place where only people could enter and not leave forever, so on the seventh day, the security of the imperial city was temporarily relaxed.

The city gates are open, and passage is permitted as normal.

However, Gao Changhong secretly gathered a large number of troops and also secretly notified the troops in other parts of the Northern Desert to move towards the capital, just in case Xiao Ye attacked the city.

Seeing that Gao Changhong had relaxed his guard, Su Liluo and his group began their operation.

After several days of discussion, Xiao Ye felt that the only way to deal with Gao Changhong without starting a war and harming the people of Beimo was to remove him from his current position.

But he is the Regent of the Northern Desert, second only to the emperor, and it is naturally impossible for a few outsiders to do so.

Therefore, at this moment, Su Liluo remembered the Northern Desert Emperor whom she had met with Gao Junning in the palace.

They decided to infiltrate the palace, persuade the Northern Desert Emperor, and help him regain power in the Northern Desert in order to control Gao Changhong.

"Fuyuan, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water, cough cough..."

The Imperial Palace.

The pale-faced Emperor of the Northern Desert propped himself up and called out towards the door.

A moment later, a glass of clear water was handed to him from behind. He reached out to take it and was about to drink it when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

These are not cups from their royal palace!

Then, he suddenly looked up and saw four unfamiliar faces standing behind him.

"You guys---mmm..."

He was about to shout for help when his mouth was suddenly covered. He looked at the four unfamiliar men and women in front of him with terrified eyes, wondering who they were.

"Don't be afraid, don't worry, we're not here to harm you, we're here to save you! I know you've been poisoned, and the Regent can't possibly cure you. If you don't save yourself, you won't live for more than six months!"

Su Liluo looked at the Emperor of Beimo seriously and said clearly.

The Emperor of the Northern Desert still looked wary when he heard this.

Even if the other party knows these things, so what?

In this northern desert, most of the power now falls into the hands of the regent, while he himself is already terminally ill and has no energy to even review memorials every day. What else can he do?

And who exactly are these people, and what gives them the audacity to claim they can save me?

"If you don't believe that we'll die anyway, and you believe that even if we lose, the worst that can happen is death, why don't you give it a try? We're all going to die anyway."

Xiao Ye saw the suspicion in the Northern Desert Emperor's eyes and said coldly.

His words stunned the Emperor of the Northern Desert, as if they had struck a nerve.

yes!

No matter what, the worst that could happen is death, so why not consider giving it a try?

As a result, the struggle and refusal in his eyes gradually faded.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Su Liluo slowly let Zhu Feng release her hand.

They don't look the same as before. Zhu Yue can also disguise herself, so she disguised Xiao Ye and Su Liluo, which is why the Emperor didn't recognize Su Liluo.

"Who exactly are you people? Why do you want to help me? Or do you want to use me for something? If this will harm the people of the Northern Desert, then I will absolutely not agree to it."

After calming down, the Emperor asked warily.

Although he wanted to deal with Gao Changhong, he absolutely could not let the country fall into turmoil; otherwise, he would rather the Northern Desert fall completely into the hands of the Regent.

Upon hearing this, Su Lilu couldn't help but think that the emperor was not bad, at least he knew how to put the people first.

"Don't worry, we're only helping you because we share a common enemy. Our goal is simply to save two people."

"who?"

"The eldest son of the Regent of the Northern Desert and a woman by his side."

"What?"

Upon hearing Su Liluo's words, the Emperor of the Northern Desert couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

He couldn't understand why they wanted to save the regent's son.

The regent's son is a son whom the regent values ​​highly; why would they need to rescue him?

"You heard right, he is the eldest son of the Regent of the Northern Desert. We need to use your power to gradually weaken the Regent's power and then take away the person we want."

Su Liluo calmly reiterated it once again.
