King Jue was somewhat surprised that she could be so calm and act with such composure.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then smiled slightly. "I've heard that my nephew's wife is all talk and no action." He tapped his head with his finger as he said this. "Seeing her today, I realize how misleading those rumors are. My nephew's wife is not only beautiful, but also exceptionally clever. My good nephew is truly blessed."
Wen Nongnong was not happy at all after hearing what he said.
Is he praising her? He's clearly insulting her.
However, she was not angry. Instead, she said, "Rumors are never credible. Before meeting Uncle Jue, I thought he was a fierce, cruel, and ugly man. But after meeting him today, I realize that the rumors are really unbelievable. Uncle Jue is clearly a handsome man, and he is gentle and approachable."
King Jue was taken aback, but quickly realized that she was repeating what he had said earlier to mock him.
Instead of getting angry, he laughed, "You little girl, you're quite amusing. It's fate that we met here today. How about it, are you interested in taking a stroll around my Juezhou?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was startled. Just as he was about to speak, his little imperial aunt said eloquently, "Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle Jue, but Juezhou is quite a distance from here, and my lord does not allow me to go too far. I must return to the capital before sunset."
Upon hearing this, the Prince sighed with some regret, "That's a real pity." After saying that, he stood up and glanced at Gu Yi, "Good nephew, you should carefully consider what I said to you today."
Gu Yi frowned. "I'll say it again, Prince Jue, don't waste your time on me."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jue paused slightly, narrowed his eyes, and then smiled.
While Wen Nongnong was still trying to guess what kind of riddle the two were playing, a sudden gust of wind swept over.
Startled, she instinctively rolled backward to avoid the attack.
King Jue's attack missed, and he glanced at the agile Wen Nong Nong with surprise. Then, a look of interest appeared on his face. "Niece-in-law, you have truly impressed me. However, it is a real pity that someone as good as you is paired with Gu Linchao." With that, he flashed and suddenly reached out to grab Wen Nong Nong's neck.
Gu Yi was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Please, Prince Jue, do not make things difficult for my royal aunt. If even a hair on her head is harmed, my royal uncle will certainly not let this go. Prince Jue, please think it over."
"Oh, are you telling me that this little girl is very important to Gu Linchao?" Upon hearing this, the King of Jue became even more interested in Wen Nongnong. "I really want to see what Gu Linchao looks like when he loses his composure." With that, he suddenly flicked a burst of energy from his fingertip, directly striking Wen Nongnong's pressure point, and then tore off the jade pendant from her neck and threw it to Gu Yi.
"Tell Gu Linchao that if he wants his little princess back, he should go to Juezhou alone. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that his beloved little princess won't lose a single hair or be missing an arm or a leg."
Gu Yi took the jade pendant, but when he looked at it again, both King Jue and Wen Nongnong were gone.
He clutched the jade pendant and hurriedly chased after her to the door.
However, by the time he arrived, the group had already vanished.
Gu Yi's heart sank, and he immediately gave the order, "Seal off the city gates and intercept the Jue King at all costs."
"Yes." The guard accepted the order and left.
However, by the time Gu Yi and his men arrived at the city gate, they were too late; the Prince Jue and Wen Nong Nong had already disappeared.
