The eldest prince's face had turned livid. He looked at General Gu and asked angrily, "Gu Hepeng, I am the current emperor. Which emperor do you want to see?"
After he finished speaking, the eldest prince shouted: "Come here, throw all these deserters into prison and execute them in three days."
Xiao Ling'er noticed that as soon as General Gu said this, the expressions of all the officials in the hall changed.
Several of the officials seemed to want to stand up and plead for mercy, but a soft voice spoke first.
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding here. I don't think General Gu knows..."
The person who spoke was the beautiful woman sitting next to the eldest prince. Xiao Ling'er noticed her when she entered the hall. When the woman saw Gu Yunxiao, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, she was interrupted by the Grand Prince before she could finish her words. The Grand Prince was very unhappy and ordered:
"Come here, Concubine Lan is not feeling well, take her downstairs to rest."
"No, I'm not sick, Your Majesty. I'm not sick. I won't talk nonsense again." Concubine Lan pleaded with a pale face.
"Take her away!" The eldest prince was still hard-hearted towards such a beautiful woman.
When Concubine Lan was taken away, she looked at Gu Yunxiao reluctantly several times.
Ren Yanran, who was standing by, also noticed it and frowned slightly.
With the previous experience of this imperial concubine as a warning, no one in the hall dared to stand up and plead for mercy.
Xiao Ling'er and the other three were quickly taken to jail. Of course, they were able to be taken to jail so smoothly because of their cooperation.
In the prison, Xiao Ling'er and the other three did not communicate with each other. They just sat quietly on the ground with their backs against the wall.
It was not until dinner time that the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
"Squeak." The prison door was opened, and a strange tall woman appeared in the prison.
Xiao Ling'er and the other three looked at the woman at the same time. She was very beautiful, but her beauty was different from that of Xiao Ling'er and Ren Yanran.
She has a high nose bridge, big eyes, and a somewhat Western look.
The woman walked directly to Gu Yunxiao and asked with concern: "Brother Xiao, are you okay? Are you hungry? I brought you some food."
The woman spoke to herself as she took out a bag of pastries from her sleeve. It seemed that there was only Gu Yunxiao in her eyes at this moment, and her eyes were full of love.
The woman's voice was exactly the same as He Yunfan's. Gu Yunxiao suddenly stood up, knocked the cake away, and angrily asked, "You, who are you?"
"Haha, who am I? I am He Yunfan, who grew up with you, and I am also Senatia, the fourth princess of Cangbian Kingdom.
Brother Xiao, you can call me the Fourth Princess, or you can call me Senna." The woman seemed to be oblivious to Gu Yunxiao's unpleasant expression and answered happily.
Gu Yunxiao took a step back in shock, and stammered in disbelief, "Impossible... That's impossible..."
"Brother Xiao, let me tell you, the young master of the He family actually died ten years ago."
It seems that He Yunfan, no, the Fourth Princess is not going to pretend at all. She doesn't seem to take Xiao Ling'er and others seriously at all.
"You, did you kill him?" The person asking the question was General Gu. He had an ugly expression on his face and a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Senna took a few steps back, then rolled her eyes and quickly threw a talisman at General Gu.
After realizing that General Gu was standing there unable to move, he replied arrogantly: "Well, I killed him. Only by killing him can I take his place."
She was very arrogant at the moment and had no intention of maintaining a gentle image in front of Gu Yunxiao.
