Rather than continuing to support the tyrannical and ruthless Gongyang Jieying, which was not only thankless but also faced the risk of having her entire family executed or her entire clan exterminated, it would be better to… turn to King Luo and support the new princess. That way, when Gongyang Jiezhen ascended to a high position, she could still claim the credit of following the phoenix…

At the same time, in the Lengyue Kingdom’s palace, Dongguo Chuxiong, dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes, was about to enter the Emperor Gongyang Yingyi’s bedroom, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Lord Dongguo, the emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to enter without being summoned."

"You..." Looking at the guard with an indifferent face, the anxious Dongguo Chuxiong was extremely angry, but helpless.

He requested to see the emperor several times, but was stopped every time. For the sake of his daughter, Dongguo Chuxiong had no choice but to shout at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, please save Jiezhen! She is now in the hands of the people of Laifeng State. If you don't save her, she will probably be executed!"

Dongguo Chuxiong's cry was extremely shrill and heartbreaking. However, from beginning to end, he never mentioned the name Gongyang Yuheng.

Inside the bedroom, Gongyang Yingyi, who was already annoyed by the noise, finally lost her patience. She strode out of the hall and kicked Dongguo Chuxiong in the chest.

"shut up!"

"I have my own ideas on how to act. Why would a mere maid like you interfere?"

Gongyang Yingyi's face was filled with anger, and her words carried the pressure and aura of a superior who could not be challenged.

Looking at the emperor in front of him whose heart was as cold and ruthless as stone, Dongguo Chuxiong felt as if his heart was instantly blown by a biting cold wind, and he was completely chilled.

Dongguo Chuxiong took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the grief and disappointment in his heart. After bowing to Gongyang Yingyi, he saw him slowly stand up from the ground, his body trembling slightly as he walked away.

However, just as Dongguo Chuxiong turned his back to Gongyang Yingyi, his originally gentle eyes instantly became extremely cold and filled with endless chillness.

Gongyang Yingyi, Gongyang Yingyi, we are both daughters, why are you so cruel and heartless to Jiezhen?

Well, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust...
