As soon as she ordered them to leave, Gao Qin and Gu Fanzhi did not dare to stay any longer and left obediently.
"Your Highness, I'll send someone to handle it right away," Gao Qin said.
Gu Fanzhi noticed his expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Your Highness, there are so many women in the world. When you become the king, you can have any beauty you want. Why are you obsessed with her? Her existence is an obstacle to your progress." Gao Qin said earnestly.
"No, it's different. No matter how many women there are, they are all her."
How can those women compare with Pianran?
He had already given up on staying with her forever, so he couldn't order her to be killed.
"Your Highness, you have only met her once. Just this one meeting has caused you heavy losses. Her existence is a disaster for Your Highness." Gao Qin kept persuading.
"Stop talking. I will never let you kill her. This prince can promise that I will never meet her again, and I will never have anything to do with her again."
Gu Fanzhi understood Gao Qin's character and added another sentence.
"If I could kill someone who follows me and treats me like my own, I wouldn't hesitate. So, when I ascend the throne, how will the people below view me?"
Gao Qin's heart trembled, and he realized the importance of Gu Pianran's life and death.
If someone makes a big fuss about this matter, it will definitely make people feel uneasy.
"It was my fault for not being considerate enough."
After Gao Qin left, Gu Fanzhi summoned Yan Jing, the leader of the secret guards.
"I'll leave her affairs to you. Remember, I want her to be well and nothing can happen to her. If anything happens to her, you'll be held responsible."
"yes."
After Yan Jing left the study, he met Gao Qin on the road.
As soon as I saw him, I knew he was waiting for me here on purpose.
"Commander Yan, are you interested in a drink?"
Yan Jing smiled and said, "Okay."
In a secluded teahouse, two people sat opposite each other.
"Brother Gao, just tell me what you want to say." Yan Jing asked straight to the point.
"Since Commander Yan said so, I won't hide it. Did His Highness send you to protect that woman?" Gao Qin asked.
Yan Jing's face turned stern, "Brother Gao, you've crossed the line."
"I'm sorry, but this matter is of great importance. I have no choice but to do this. That woman must die. Only with her death can His Highness accomplish his great cause. I need your assistance in this matter. Without your consent, we cannot do it at all."
"No. She can't die." Commander Yan flatly refused.
"Commander Yan, Brother Yan, this matter truly concerns His Highness's great cause. I cannot reveal the specifics, but I can swear on the lives of all my family members that everything I have just said is true, and was done with His Highness in mind."
He continued, "I know you're worried that His Highness will blame you for your incompetence. I've already considered this for my brother. We just need to create an accident and let her die. Even if His Highness is sad, he won't say anything. At most, he'll say a few words to Brother Yan afterwards."
Yan Jing's attitude wavered a little and he began to hesitate.
Gao Qin continued to persuade him, "If it succeeds, Your Highness will reach the summit. Then we will be great heroes. We will bring honor to our family and become important officials. What does a few harsh words now mean?"
After Gao Qin's constant persuasion, Yan Jing finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay. I promise you. But the plan must ensure that there will be no accidents."
"Of course." Gao Qin said with a smile.
