"It's too early for you to think like that. We don't know what Father is thinking. What we should do now is to please Father."
Gao Junning glanced at Gao Yufei and said.
He didn't like to think about things that hadn't happened yet; right now, winning his father's favor was the most important thing to him.
Although he was nominally his father's legitimate son and had received the best education and upbringing since childhood, he could actually sense that his father valued the son born to that woman more.
Otherwise, the King wouldn't have persisted in searching for him for so long, and even after they left Daliang, he would have arranged for people to continue searching there.
Su Liluo heard their words clearly and learned from them that there were only one or two Lingzhi mushrooms left, which should be in the palace.
Although she and Xiao Ye had signed some kind of contract with the Regent, which allowed them to ask him for things, given the Regent's despicable act of kidnapping her, it was clear he would deny everything.
The Northern Desert Imperial Palace is not so easy to enter. I've been with them for several days now anyway, so why not take this opportunity to sneak into the Northern Desert Imperial Palace and make a fortune?
Anyway, she has her own space, so she's not worried about not being able to take all those good things with her.
After careful consideration, coupled with her hatred for Gao Changhong and his group for kidnapping her, Su Liluo immediately felt that this was a good decision.
Go and empty the Northern Desert royal family!
However, in that case, I can't remove the Gu now, otherwise the person carrying the mother Gu will notice.
After some deliberation, Su Liluo decided to suppress the Gu poison with medicine first.
Fortunately, the poison they cast on me was just a mind-controlling spell to make me obedient; they probably just wanted me to follow their orders.
As for who the mother Gu is, she currently guesses it's either the Regent or Gao Junning, definitely not Gao Yufei, otherwise she would have already used the Gu poison to control herself.
He could temporarily suppress the poison with medicine to avoid the Regent's control, and then escape once he got what he wanted.

Da Liang.
In the past few days, Yi Lan and the others have tried every means to reveal to the Crown Prince that Su Liluo may have been taken away by Gao Junning, but they did not know that all their efforts were in vain, because Xiao Ye had already guessed it after failing to find anything at the Xiao Prince's Mansion.
However, the regent and his entourage have already left the capital, making it very difficult for him to find them now.
At the same time, he could not spread the news of the Crown Princess's disappearance, lest someone with ulterior motives spread rumors and damage Su Liluo's reputation. Therefore, these days, Xiao Ye has been announcing to the public that Su Liluo is seriously ill and no longer sees guests.
Chu Yan naturally heard the news as well, and immediately became extremely worried. She took Che Yi and went to the Crown Prince's residence to see Su Liluo.
"Your Highness, what illness does the Crown Princess have? She's such a skilled doctor, can't she cure herself?"
Chu Yan asked Xiao Ye with concern.
Xiao Ye knew that she was a friend that Su Liluo trusted, so he didn't intend to hide it from her. Besides, Su Zhen also arrived at this time.
So he told them the truth as well.
"Actually, Luo'er isn't sick; she's disappeared. But I'm saying this to the public to protect her reputation."
"Missing? Where did she go? What happened?"
"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
Chu Yan and Su Zhen both looked at Xiao Ye in astonishment.
"I have investigated and found out that it was the Regent of the Northern Desert who kidnapped Luo'er. They must hold a grudge against me, which is why they took such a great risk to abduct Luo'er!"
"Rest assured, I have already sent men to the Northern Desert to rescue Luo'er. I am also seeking a reason to request permission from Father to attack the Northern Desert!"
Xiao Ye's eyes betrayed his heartache and anger; when he mentioned Bei Mo, he wished he could grind him to dust.
He clenched his fists, his gaze resolute. This time, he was determined to teach Gao Changhong and his gang a lesson!
"What? You're saying the Regent kidnapped the Crown Princess?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhen's expression became incredibly complex.
He couldn't help but wonder if the reason the Regent had kidnapped the Crown Princess was because of Jiang Ruan.
He wouldn't want to use the Crown Princess as a substitute for Jiang Ruan, would he?
That's his...
How could he do this!
No, such a thing must never happen.
"Your Highness, I also wish to go to the Northern Desert with you!"
Su Zhen looked at Xiao Ye anxiously; he could no longer allow the Crown Princess to be in danger.
Jiang Ruan had saved his life years ago, and he couldn't abandon her daughter.
“Father-in-law, if I go, you may not be able to go. The Emperor will not allow all the excellent generals of Liang to go to the Northern Desert. The capital of Liang still needs you to guard it.”
Xiao Ye looked at Su Zhen with a troubled expression.
Of all the warriors in the entire Liang Dynasty, besides himself, Su Zhen is the most skilled fighter. One of them must stay behind to defend the city.
Protecting the main beam.
"this......"
Worry and confusion appeared in Su Zhen's eyes.
He knew Xiao Ye was right, but he was still worried.
"Lord Su, don't worry, I will go with His Highness the Crown Prince. I am from the Northern Desert, so I am somewhat familiar with that place."
At this moment, Che Yi suddenly stood up and spoke.
After he heard that Su Liluo had been kidnapped by the Regent, he decided to return to the Northern Desert to protect her.
Others may not know, but he knows very well that the real danger to the Crown Princess in the Northern Desert is not the Regent, but rather the Regent's wife.
If the Crown Princess went there, he was really worried that the Regent's Consort would treat her in the same vicious ways she had treated him.
After all, this was his only remaining family member.
"Alright, but I still need my father's order before I can lead the troops out of the city. I will give you a large number of men, and you can set off now."
When Xiao Ye heard Che Yi say that he was from the Northern Desert, he felt a little excited.
He had always felt that Che Yi was not simple, and now it seemed that he probably had a certain status or power in the Northern Desert.
If they could get his help, things would be much easier for them.
He was already feeling extremely uneasy about not being able to set off to rescue people immediately, so he decided on the spot to let Che Yi and the others go first.
"good!"
Che Yi did not refuse.
Su Zhen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Your Highness, I would like to write a letter and have this young master deliver it to the Regent. Is that alright?"
Write a letter to the Regent?
Xiao Ye was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. What did Su Zhen want to write to the Regent?
Does he still have a relationship with the Regent?
“Your Highness, please don’t misunderstand. I have no relationship with the Regent. It’s just that the Crown Princess’s mother knew the Regent back then. I think that perhaps the Regent will spare her from harm because of her mother.”
Seeing the misunderstanding in Xiao Ye's eyes, Su Zhen immediately offered an explanation.
