Seeing this, Cuiwei wisely walked away to keep watch for the two of them.
Shen Yu lowered her eyes and spoke first: "Young Master Liu, what brings you here?"
"I heard that the Emperor has imprisoned the Gao family and Liu Yao'er in the Imperial Prison, but Consort Gao escaped. I fear that Consort Gao will give birth to a prince and gain the Emperor's favor, allowing the Gao family to rise again."
Shen Yu suddenly looked at Liu Yu and asked urgently, "Is Consort Gao pregnant?"
"That's right. According to Imperial Physician Wen, she is already three months pregnant. It is precisely because she is six months pregnant that the Emperor insisted on protecting Consort Gao despite the opposition of the court officials."
"If it can be proven that the Gao family are descendants of Japanese pirates, the Emperor will surely execute everyone in the Gao family, and will not spare Consort Gao alone. Unfortunately... the witness that Young Master Liu found a few days ago has already been burned to death."
Liu Yu shook his head; the old man was not dead. He knew the Gao family wielded immense power and had spies all around them. So, he hid the old man and brought him to the capital.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, tears welled up in her eyes once more as she whispered, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Liu. I will never forget it."
"Yu Lang only wants to hear Yu Yu's honest opinion: if the revenge for her father's murder is achieved, would Yu Yu be willing to marry me?"
