"Kill me?"
Xihe tilted his head, and the next second he whipped him: "You bastard, who gave you the courage to say that?"
With a snap, the clothes on Gu Ye’s shoulders were torn in an instant.
There were exclamations all around.
Gu Ye's face turned gloomy. He turned his head to look at his shoulder that was oozing blood, then slowly stood up and approached Xihe step by step.
The palace maid turned pale with fear and pulled Xihe: "Princess, Princess..."
Xihe was not afraid at all, and raised her chin:
"What? Gu Ye, do you still want to take action? Look carefully where this is? The Imperial Study!"
"Your grandfather has to kneel down obediently when he gets here. Do you still want to rebel?"
Gu Ye smiled immediately, raising the corner of his mouth: "So what if I rebel?"
As long as he wanted, he could destroy the world with just a flick of his finger! He was indeed too kind, allowing these foolish people to ride roughshod over him!
Xihe glared at him and pointed at him: "Okay, I knew you, Gu Jia, had bad intentions!"
"Someone come! There's an assassin!"
With a clatter, the Royal Guards in the distance immediately ran over, swords raised, looking around nervously: "Princess, where is the assassin?"
Xihe pointed at Gu Ye: "That's him! He wants to rebel!"
Imperial Guards: “…”
Xi He immediately glared at him, "Why don't you believe it? Jinsuo and Yinsuo, tell me, did Gu Ye just admit that he wanted to rebel?"
The maid stuttered, not daring to look at Gu Ye: "Gu, General Gu did say so..."
Xihe immediately glared at the Imperial Guards:
"Did you hear that? This is the imperial study, just a few steps away from my father."
"If anything happens to my father, how many of you will lose your heads? Hurry and arrest them!"
When the Royal Guards heard this, although they hesitated, they still stepped forward and surrounded Gu Ye.
Gu Ye was so angry that he laughed: "Fang Jinrong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more vicious."
"Not as good as you!"
Xi He immediately retorted, "The Protector of the Country is such a patriotic hero, yet he actually gave birth to a thing like you. Not only did you kick me in the foot, but you even dared to say 'rebellion' in public today! Gu Ye, you are simply lawless!"
"What! He kicked you into the water?"
A voice of shock and anger came from behind.
Xihe turned around and saw the emperor walking towards them quickly with a group of ministers, with anger on their faces, obviously having heard what had just been said.
Xihe threw away his whip and ran over aggrievedly, "Father, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Gu Ye not only mocked and insulted me many times, but that day in Yuan Mansion, he also kicked me into the water. The water was so cold. If it weren't for Master Yuan, I would never see you again. Woo woo woo."
Tears fell down her face and she cried miserably.
The ministers around immediately started talking.
The emperor was furious and looked at Gu Ye: "Gu Ye, you are so bold! I handed the prince to you, and this is how you treat her?"
"Sun De, go and invite the Duke of Protectorate!"
Patting Xihe, he coaxed softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, father will definitely take care of you!"
Xihe nodded with sobs.
The original owner was the daughter of the late Empress. The late Empress and His Majesty had been a young couple, deeply in love since their time in the Imperial Palace. However, as fate would have it, a cold took her life. The Emperor, well aware of the treacherous nature of the harem, feared his daughter would fall victim to a murderous attack, so he personally raised her in his care.
Raised with great difficulty, the feelings between us are naturally different from those of others.
In the entire palace, the concubines, princes and princesses, and even the crown prince, all had a lower status than Princess Jinrong.
Hearing that his beloved daughter had been kicked into the water on such a cold spring day, one can imagine the shock and anger in the emperor's heart!
Thinking of the day when his daughter was brought back, and how she was dead or alive, he wanted to kill Gu Ye. However, he remembered his identity, so the emperor glanced at Gu Ye and led everyone back to the imperial study.
About an incense stick's time later, the Duke of Protectorate arrived in a hurry, sweating profusely.
He first glanced at his grandson, then saw Gu Ye kneeling on the ground with a purple scar on his shoulder. He immediately flew into a rage, but this was the imperial palace, so he could only suppress his anger and kneel down: "Your Majesty, this old minister pays homage." He paused and looked at Xi He: "Princess, has Ye'er displeased you again?"
Wow, in an instant, Xihe was labeled as arrogant and domineering.
Xi He laughed angrily: "The Duke of Protectorate is quite self-aware!"
The Duke of Huguo sighed, his old face sincere, "It's all because I didn't teach him well. I'm sorry you've been wronged. When I get back, I'll definitely teach him a lesson and make him reflect on his mistakes!"
Xihe supported his chin, very curious: "Oh, then how are you going to punish him?"
The ministers had already left. The only people in the hall now, besides the palace maids and eunuchs, were the father and daughter behind the dragon table, and the grandfather and grandson kneeling in the center. Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, and a spring breeze blew. The emperor lowered his eyes, sipping his tea, and made no move to stop Xihe.
The Duke of Huguo was taken aback, as if he had not expected Xihe to ask further questions.
However, he quickly reacted: "I will be punished by running ten laps of the racecourse with a sandbag on my back, and then being whipped thirty times! I will also be punished by copying a book ten times. Princess, are you satisfied?"
Xihe shook his head: "He wants my life, Duke, what do you think?"
The Duke Protector of the Country felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Xi He stood up and walked over slowly: "Before the marriage was granted, Gu Ye was repeatedly disrespectful to me. After the marriage was granted, not only did he not restrain himself, he also dared to get involved with other young ladies. At the Yuan family banquet, he even kicked me off..."
"He still said 'So what if I rebel' today?"
He lowered his head and looked into the eyes of the Duke of Protectorate: "Duke, do you think so too? Rebel and become emperor?"
The Duke of Huguo's pupils shrank, and he immediately shouted angrily: "Princess, be careful with your words!"
"Duke Protector of the Country, I think you should be careful with your words!"
The finest Longjing tea splashed onto the Duke of Huguo's robe. The emperor's face was gloomy. "I'm not dead yet. Who gave you the courage to yell at my princess?"
The Duke of Huguo's face trembled and he kowtowed: "I dare not!"
Xihe said "Oh" and told the purpose of today: "Don't dare? Then show some sincerity."
"Heh," Gu Ye curled the corner of his lips sarcastically. He knew that the father and daughter did not simply want to punish him. They clearly had ulterior motives and wanted the tiger talisman!
The Duke of Huguo also reacted and couldn't help squinting his eyes: "Princess, what did you say?"
Xihe smiled. The warm spring sun shone in through the window, illuminating her face. Her skin was as white as jade, without a single pore visible. "Since the Duke of Protectorate has no intention of rebelling, he must not be afraid of handing over the Tiger Tally, right? I haven't seen it yet, but I've been curious for a long time... By the way."
"Gu Ye, what are you doing here today? Are you planning to marry me soon?"
She blinked her bright big eyes, innocent and simple.
The Duke of Huguo's face darkened, his chest heaving heavily. He supported himself on his knees and tried to stand up, but Gu Ye grabbed him and said, "Okay, I agree."
