Chapter 141 Love Becomes Hate

"I and the Grand Master have been master and disciple, so the price is negotiable. Just twenty thousand taels of silver! I will immediately dispatch fifty Black Cloud Guards to search for him, and we will do our utmost!"

When I heard that they were going to send fifty Black Cloud Guards to look for someone, they asked for twenty thousand taels of silver. This was simply an exorbitant price, and they were taking advantage of the opportunity to rip me off!

But when he saw Huo Yuchen's indifferent expression, Grand Tutor Gu swallowed back the words he wanted to say to plead for mercy.

He was a little hesitant.

Huo Yuchen lowered his voice and whispered to Grand Tutor Gu, "If Miss Gu is missing for too long, and her reputation is ruined or her innocence is taken away, then the Grand Tutor's Mansion will suffer more than it gains!"

"The position of the principal consort of Prince Chang's palace, which the teacher has been planning for a long time, is about to be handed over to someone else!"

When Grand Tutor Gu heard Huo Yuchen reveal the conspiracy of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, his face was still horrified.

He has been chasing fame and fortune all his life, scheming and calculating, letting his granddaughter bounce back and forth among several princes. After choosing and choosing, he finally chose Prince Chang. How could he be willing to lose the position of Prince Chang's principal wife like this?

His old face was very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "I hope Your Highness will keep his promise and help me find my daughter as soon as possible."

"I will do my best!"

Emperor Wu of Qin, who was sitting on the top, saw the two of them talking back and forth, and quietly decided the matter, completely treating him, the emperor, as unnecessary air, and felt very unhappy.

He deliberately asked, "Chen'er, why are you talking about money all the time now? Are you still short of money? I remember that you were not so stingy before."

Huo Yuchen said coldly, "Your Majesty, you don't know that you gave me a bride to marry for good luck. Although it didn't make me much better, it's better than before."

"I am very grateful to her and always give her more pocket money. Lin Pianran likes gold, silver and other vulgar things the most, so I want to satisfy her."

He said this not to use Lin Pianran as an excuse, but because he was deeply impressed by the money-loving expression and bright eyes that Lin Pianran had every time she saw something valuable.

"I did this to please the Crown Princess!"

Huo Yuchen looked at Emperor Wu of Qin again, "I remember that after your father granted Prince Chang a marriage, he also gave him a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. I always forget to remind you that you need to prepare some for the Crown Princess as well, so as not to show favoritism."

Emperor Wu of Qin did not expect that he would be punished for asking casually, so he had no choice but to give Huo Yuchen two large boxes of jewelry and let him take them back.

Huo Yuchen returned to Lin Pianran's carriage and saw the little girl sitting by the fire.

The little girl's cheeks were baked red, like red apples, attracting people to take a bite.

Although they were at the back of the team and had not encountered any accidents, they did not dare to fall asleep. Everyone stayed vigilantly beside the carriage.

Seeing Huo Yuchen coming back, Lin Pianran greeted him happily.

Huo Yuchen pulled Lin Pianran up, walked to a nearby place, and talked to her alone.

"Is there anything the emperor wants you to do?" Lin Pianran couldn't help but speak first.

"Gu Qingcheng was kidnapped. The Grand Tutor came to the Emperor crying and wanted me to help find her. I offered 20,000 taels of silver for each assistance. For the sake of the silver, I had no choice but to agree."

"Also, I asked the Emperor for two boxes of jewels and put them in your carriage."

Lin Pianran nodded happily, then asked, "How do we find Gu Qingcheng?"

"No need to look for her, I already know where she is."

"what is going on?"

Huo Yuchen looked at the white sky in front of him, smiled gently, hugged Lin Pianran in his arms, and began to tell the story softly.

"I once told you that Grand Tutor Gu's earliest target was me. Because I was the Crown Prince, I was the legitimate heir, my mother's family was powerful, and I was the Queen's legitimate son. I was the future heir to the throne, and the throne belonged to me. However, as the poison worsened, my body became increasingly weak."

"Grand Tutor Gu believes that I am not favored and in poor health, so I am not fit for important tasks."

"So he turned his attention to Prince Duan. He chose Prince Duan first because he and Prince Chang had the same father and mother, and he had the advantage of being older. Theoretically, if the throne was to be passed on, Prince Duan would be given priority anyway."

"So, Grand Tutor Gu had Gu Qingcheng deliberately try to get close to and please Prince Duan. Prince Duan has been truly devoted to Gu Qingcheng for so many years, and has gone to great lengths to treat her well."

"Although my father treats Prince Chang well, he is also good to Prince Duan. Over the years, various rewards have been sent to Prince Duan's mansion like water."

"Gu Qingcheng once told Prince Duan that she liked jewelry, luxurious fabrics, and beautiful treasures."

"After hearing this, Prince Duan practically emptied his private vault of treasures in order to please Gu Qingcheng. From then on, every time the emperor gave him a reward, he ordered it to be delivered directly to the Grand Tutor's residence."

"It can be said that Prince Duan is also sincere to Gu Qingcheng. He is simply kind to her with his whole heart."

"However, ever since he was injured last time, Gu Qingcheng not only didn't show any concern for him, she didn't even go to visit him. Instead, she turned around and offered herself to Prince Chang, climbing into his bed. Since then, she has been inseparable from Prince Chang, and they are always together."

"This incident dealt a huge blow to Prince Duan, and it made his temperament even more gloomy."

"His parents' partiality and the double betrayal by his younger brother and the woman he loved deeply tormented him deeply."

"He has recently stopped competing with other princes for the throne, and has even given up his desire for the position of Crown Prince."

"He's been silent the entire time, and he seems indifferent to other things, like he's neither alive nor dead."

"In fact, he is only thinking about one thing right now, which is to keep an eye on Gu Qingcheng and look for opportunities to take revenge on her."

"Gu Qingcheng didn't even think about it. How could the prince of the Heavenly Family be allowed to be chosen and toyed with by her?"

"Look, retribution has arrived so quickly."

"My Black Cloud Guards have already discovered the clues to this matter."

"It's just that I don't want to get involved in this kind of trivial matter, so I just let them do whatever they want."

"I didn't expect that this time, Prince Duan directly ordered his men to abduct Gu Qingcheng. Now she's hanging on the cliff in front of us, feeling the cold wind!"

After listening to this, Lin Pianran couldn't help but sigh, "A man who has been heartbroken is extreme and perverted, scary and gloomy..."

"This is a typical case of love turning into hate!"

Huo Yuchen held Lin Pianran in his arms and stroked her fluffy hair lovingly.

"Anyway, Prince Duan isn't provoking us right now. Let him do whatever he wants. We can just watch the show."

"In two hours, when Gu Qingcheng is almost frozen, we will go and take her down, and we will get the 20,000 taels of silver."

"The rest has nothing to do with us. They should resolve their grievances and hatreds among themselves."

Lin Pianran smiled and replied, "Okay, let's just make money and not worry about their love and hatred! It's nonsense."
