Chapter 62: Wrath

Gu Qingcheng ran a few steps again and shouted, "Your Highness, why do you say such words and hurt my feelings?"

"You should know that I have always been thinking about Your Highness!"

"You are thinking of me?"

Huo Yuchen looked as if he had heard some incredible joke, his face full of sarcasm.

"Master Gu and Miss Gu, haven't they always placed their bets wherever there's profit?"

"For the past three years, I have been in poor health. Didn't Grand Tutor Gu choose a wise leader long ago and join Prince Duan's army?"

"I heard that my health has improved and I have new ideas and goals?"

"That's not necessary."

"I wasn't interested in you before, and I won't be interested in you in the future."

"Miss Gu, please stay away from me."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Gu Qingcheng's face was covered with tears, she was sobbing softly, her eyes were slightly red, her body was shaking slightly, and she looked like she had suffered a huge blow.

She becomes more and more charming and attractive.

"Your Highness, my grandfather was your former teacher. How could you slander and belittle him so unreasonably?"

"My grandfather was a giant in the literary world. He dedicated his life to teaching and educating people. He had many students all over the world and was diligent and untiring..."

"He has a noble character, like a pine or cypress, evergreen all year round."

"As for talent, he is like a shining star, dazzling and eye-catching, and is admired, praised and respected by the world."

"He has many retainers and talented people, and his retainers are spread all over every corner of the Great Qin court..."

Huo Yuchen's face showed a hint of anger, and he interrupted Gu Qingcheng before she finished speaking.

He said coldly, "You mean, your grandfather played an important role in the court, and the Qin Dynasty is about to be controlled by your Gu family, right?"

This is simply outrageous!

Gu Qingcheng didn't dare to respond.

She was so scared that she even forgot to cry and looked at Huo Yuchen in disbelief.

She didn't understand why Huo Yuchen misinterpreted her meaning?

Why do you say such cruel and heartless words?

She really doesn't understand!

Huo Yuchen glanced at her coldly and said, "Don't chase me anymore, otherwise I wouldn't mind going to Prince Duan's palace and telling him what you did today."

"If Prince Duan knew that you said your heart was with me, would he be furious and treat you like a piece of trash from now on?"

"you......"

"Are you really that heartless? You'll regret it!"

"In consideration of your grandfather's kindness in teaching me, I will not argue with you today."

"Otherwise, based on your reckless remarks, I can tear the Gu family apart and trample them until they have no chance of recovery!"

"I'm letting you go today, as a token of my gratitude for your kindness in the past."

"Don't use that little favor as an excuse anymore, otherwise, you should think carefully..."

After saying that, Huo Yuchen left.

Leaving behind Gu Qingcheng with a look of loss.

She was extremely sad and upset.

She and the prince grew up together and always thought that their love was deep and could go further.

However, the prince was in poor health and was not favored by Emperor Wu of Qin.

Her grandfather saw this very clearly.

As early as three years ago, my grandfather had wavered in his thoughts and switched to Prince Duan's camp, hoping to gain the merit of following the emperor and have the Gu family produce a queen, so that the Gu family could rise to a higher level...

Under her grandfather's persuasion, she also hid the romantic thoughts in her heart.

Only then did he turn his attention to Prince Duan.

However, when she heard today that the prince was much better, her heart began to beat again and she rushed over immediately.

One reason is to find out the truth.

The second is that she still has fantasies about Huo Yuchen.

However, I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Not only did the relationship fail to be repaired, but it became completely rifty.

Thinking of this, she felt depressed to death and had to go home dejectedly.

*****

Prince Chang and Prince Duan had just returned to Prince Chang's palace together.

Then I saw two people kneeling in the courtyard of the temple, shaking like sieves.

Even in this still somewhat chilly February, they were sweating profusely.

Intense fear and despair invaded every nerve of theirs.

When they saw Prince Chang and Prince Duan coming over, their bodies tensed up and they trembled even more violently.

Prince Chang asked the steward beside him, "What's going on?"

The housekeeper slowly approached, put a hand over his ear, and whispered softly, "Wei Zixing and his men are missing. They were discovered by the person who delivered food to the cave in the middle of the night yesterday."

"They always felt that Wei Zixing couldn't escape, after all, he was tied up with such thick chains."

"But who knew that someone could be so capable as to rescue the person without anyone noticing."

"But they also feel it's very strange. No one knows about that cave. Who could have found it so accurately?"

"They thought that even if someone broke into the cave, they wouldn't be able to rescue the people. After all, that thick chain was specially made and ordinary people couldn't open it."

"But when they discovered the severed chains, they underestimated others' abilities. They didn't expect someone could actually open the chains and rescue the person."

"Not only are the people missing, but all the gold, silver and jewelry inside are gone too."

"They carefully searched the area where the gold, silver and jewelry were placed several times and found no signs of dragging or moving the boxes."

"Those things seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and I couldn't find them anywhere."

"Last night, they sent people to search the cave and the surrounding jungle thoroughly over and over again under cover of darkness, but they found nothing."

"They both came this morning, and the prince happened to be out at that time."

"They have been kneeling here for over an hour!"

After hearing the reports, Prince Chang was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists, walked up to the two kneeling men, flew towards one of them, and kicked him hard.

The kick was delivered with enough force to send the man flying more than ten meters away. He drew a parabola and fell heavily to the ground.

The man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, was seriously injured, and fainted.

The other middle-aged man was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, I am willing to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence. Please spare my life!"

Prince Chang's eyes were red as he stared at the middle-aged man and cursed, "I'm going to kill you with one blow, but it's too easy for you..."

"Do you know that you have ruined my great plan?"

"I'll give you three days to find the man. Release all the men and search the dense forest. I must find him alive or dead..."

The man rested his head on the ground and said sincerely, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do everything I can to find him..."
