King Lang thought Peng Mu's suggestion was excellent, and sent someone to bring Gu Yingxue along as well.
At this moment, Gu Yingxue was locked in a room. She was no longer tied up, but several people were guarding outside, so she had no chance to escape.
She ate a large meal amidst a table full of delicious food, her mood still low. She needed to eat her fill to have the strength to escape. How long would it take her to get out of Lange Palace?
Before she could figure it out, someone came to call her.
"Brother, where are you taking me?" Gu Yingxue was quite cooperative.
She was afraid of hardship, fatigue, and pain, so she basically didn't make any futile struggles and cooperated when necessary.
"The King summons you," the guard who accompanied her said, pursing his lips.
To be honest, he felt that this girl didn't seem like someone who had been kidnapped at all, but rather like someone who was visiting someone's home.
"Oh, is there something you need?" Gu Yingxue asked again.
"Stop talking nonsense! You'll find out when we get there," the guard said menacingly.
Gu Yingxue pouted and said, "Fine, I won't ask."
She stood with her hands behind her back, following beside the guard, looking around.
The palace walls are alright, they're a bit shorter than the walls of the Forbidden City, but the scenery inside isn't great.
Hey, there's water over there. Is it flowing out of the palace?
If I secretly swim with the current at night, will I be able to swim out of the palace?
She remembered that ever since Xiaoyu sent Xie Nanfeng back with a message, Xie Nanfeng and the others had been waiting for Xiaoyu at the shop, and her second uncle hadn't assigned them any other tasks.
Their conversation seemed to have started with buying and selling cloth. After she swam out, would she be able to save her life if she ran to Xie Nanfeng?
Gu Yingxue was lost in thought the whole way, and soon she arrived at the main hall.
It was her first time meeting Peng Mu, and the naive girl thought he was quite handsome. Unfortunately, she realized he was a pervert.
As for King Lang, well, he's of royal blood, so how could he be bad-looking? He's quite old, but he looks very energetic. Unfortunately, he's also a pervert.
"Why aren't you kneeling before the King?" a eunuch behind King Lange shrieked.
Gu Yingxue: "..."
Well, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
She knelt down.
Both Lange and Peng Mu were stunned by her kneeling without hesitation.
Gu Yingxue sighed inwardly. I'm not stupid. Don't I understand the principle that when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head?
I can't beat you guys anyway, so a wise person knows when to yield!
King Lang sneered, "I never imagined that the Peng family's granddaughter would be so spineless. Truly, without blood ties, one cannot inherit the backbone passed down from the Peng family!"
Gu Yingxue chuckled: "Hehe."
King Lang was like punching cotton.
Peng Mu said, "Gu Yingxue, do you know what Gu Niannian created at the beginning of the year? If you tell us honestly, I can save your life."
Gu Yingxue shook her head: "How could I possibly know? I don't know anything about this, and I wasn't involved in it at all."
Peng Mu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yingxue by the neck: "You really don't know?"
Gu Yingxue looked panicked and scared, waving her hands around. "I've already cooperated so much, and you still dare to hit me?"
Don't give me a chance to escape, or I'll definitely kill you!
Peng Mu watched as her face turned blue and purple before letting go of her: "You really don't know?"
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough..." Gu Yingxue coughed several times before recovering. "I really don't know. I usually do business with the Gu sisters and learn accounting. I'm very lazy to begin with, and Sister Niannian's work is dangerous. How could she possibly take me under her wing!"
