Gu Xi tightly clenched her delicate fists behind her skirt. In her previous life, her real father had been framed by this woman in front of her.

After her rebirth, she finally did not have a repeat of her past. However, she still had to be on high alert at all times, not allowing herself to relax even a bit.

Because the wrong step would cause him to fall into the abyss.

A trace of craftiness flashed across Yan Yan's eyes as she said, "Actually, I could tell from the very beginning that the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice had been poisoned. I saw him break down the door and kick Li Qi."

"After all, I'm just a commoner. Naturally, I'm afraid that the people from the Shang Shu Manor will suppress me. Since you guys asked, I can't hide it anymore. However, this matter really has nothing to do with my daughter."

What he said was the same as it was normal for humans. Furthermore, his words sounded very pitiful.

Gu Xi couldn't help sneering inwardly. As expected of someone with skills, she was able to come up with a good countermeasure in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, the one she had to face was Gu Xi.

"This girl is so dishonest."

This voice suddenly rang out in the absolutely silent atmosphere, causing the spectators, who originally had sympathy for Yan Shuang, to suddenly come to their senses. Who wouldn't tell a lie?

The person who spoke was Gu Xi. Who could not tell?

Her clear eyes quietly looked at Han Junyao, who was standing beside her and watching coldly from the sidelines. After a few days of interaction, the tacit understanding between the two had increased by many times. With just a glance, they could understand each other.

With a wave of his hand, several dark guards appeared around him.

Somehow, Yan Shuang's heart was beating very fast. He tried his best to calm himself down, and bravely met the eyes of those hidden guards. They were all chosen after countless life and death experiences and devil training.

Yan Shuang's eyes were naturally more terrifying than others'. With just one glance, Yan Shuang was like a deflated ball as he confessed, "I have no reason to hide anything now. He was indeed injured by me."

When these words were spoken, the surrounding people all looked at the unflustered woman standing in the center with admiration. She didn't seem that old, but she was actually quite quick-witted.

"This little girl likes to drink tea. Young master might have fallen for me, which is why you have come to the Jadeite Fragrance Pavilion to order me over and over again. As time went on, feelings were born. In the past, the young master had personally promised to spend a large amount of money to redeem me to be his concubine. But I've been looking forward to it for so long, and I've even turned down the offer for him, and what's the result? Results... Instead, he hooked up with a new girl who had just entered the building. The entire Fragrant Jade Restaurant knows that I was the one they wanted to marry, and now that they have made me lose face, there is no place for me to stay anymore, so why should I not hate them? "

Yan Shuang looked at the pair of beautiful eyes in front of him and continued speaking with tears in his eyes.

"I've finally fallen in love with a person, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I hated him because of my love, hated his flowery heart, and hated him for being so heartless! So I asked him to come to the Fragrant Jade Restaurant... The rest of the matters do not need me to explain, as you all should understand by now. "

A sorrowful love seemed to appear one by one in front of him. Yan Shuang spoke with tears in her eyes. There were many girls who were trapped by her love that also had tears in their eyes.

Only Gu Xi's mouth twitched. She didn't expect this guy to be so crafty. In the blink of an eye, he had created such a sad and beautiful love story. It was truly admirable.

However, her heart was focused on harming others, so she couldn't be blamed for being heartless.

At this point, Gu Xi didn't have any evidence to prove that what Yan Shuang said was false. The only witness was currently unconscious.

"Alright, this matter ends here. Everything was caused by her. It has nothing to do with Gu Changqing."

He explained the entire process in a simple and clear manner. No one could refute the toughness of his tone, and what he said was the truth. He ordered his subordinates to go and take care of the matter before moving close to Gu Xi's side in an attempt to pull her away.

However, there was one person who was faster than him. It was Gu Changqing. He frowned and asked, "Forgive me for asking, but what is the relationship between the two of you?"

Gu Changqing had seen the tacit understanding between the two of them, and he was even more confused. How could his daughter have any relationship with this King Yan?

Han Junyao did not want to answer Gu Changqing's question, as far as he was concerned, there was no need at all.

The oppressive atmosphere gradually spread out in the air. Gu Xi flashed a bright smile and quickly tried to smooth things over. She definitely couldn't let her father know that she was staying in the Prince's Mansion for no reason at all.

Besides, Han Junyao's authority was too great. With his father's current abilities, he could only use an egg to hit a rock.

Gu Xi intimately wrapped her arms around her father's firm arms and said, "The two of us are just ordinary friends. When I was studying outside, I met him by chance, so we became good friends and stayed at the prince's mansion for the time being."

At this moment, Gu Xi couldn't help admiring herself for being able to come up with such an excuse. She was on par with Yan Shuang.

Gu Changqing's brows were still tightly knitted. In the Zhou Dynasty, the King of Yan's status was definitely above everyone else, and they were only concubines, so they couldn't get too close.

"It's not good to be at home in the prince's mansion. Go home."

In reality, Gu Changqing was worried about Gu Xi. In his heart, he felt that the closer she got to the Yan King, the greater the danger. She shouldn't have to endure so much darkness.

Gu Xi also clearly understood her father's intentions. She subconsciously turned her gaze towards the silent man beside her and secretly gulped.

As expected, he was very smart. How could he not understand the meaning behind those words? His expression clearly darkened as if a storm was brewing.

It would be a lie if he said he wasn't afraid. He was more worried about his father than the fact that in his previous life, his father had escaped the murder and Han Junyao had been secretly taken advantage of. This was definitely not good for his father.

He hurriedly said, "After I finish learning, I'll return home. Daughter absolutely cannot give up halfway. You were the one who taught me this before."

As soon as he finished speaking, his slender white wrist was forcefully grabbed by a large force. Han Junyao turned around and left with Gu Xi. From start to finish, he hadn't even looked at Gu Changqing.

All of this was within his expectations. After all, his status was simply incomparable to his. Thus, he did not feel that it was strange at all that he would have such a reaction.

However, as Gu Changqing watched the two of them gradually disappear into the distance, the worry in his eyes could be seen without a doubt. The Yan Emperor was someone who no one could fathom. Being with him was truly terrifying.

Although his family was not the direct descendant, he still wished for his family to live in peace. As long as they lived a normal and happy life, it was fine. But now, it seemed that it would never happen …

Furthermore, Gu Xi had been dragged along the way. Furthermore, the strength of the Yan King wasn't something an ordinary person could match. She didn't even have the chance to turn back.

It was almost impossible to keep up with his fast footsteps. Gu Xi had been forcefully dragged along by him! Originally, he could dispel his father's worry, but now that he had stirred up such a commotion, it made his father even more worried.

After they walked for a distance, Gu Xi's forehead was covered in sweat. She abruptly flung away her large hand and stayed where she was, preparing to rest for a while.

The tender sensation in his hand vanished in an instant. Han Junyao's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, which condensed into ice. His expression was extremely unsightly as he turned to look at her.
