"Why should I?" Gu Jingyao asked.

"Impersonating a prince's consort is a capital offense." Ling Xiao stepped forward, pinched Gu Jingyao's lower jaw and said: "Ping Marquis Mansion also needs to give this duke an explanation."

"Ling Xiao!" Gu Jingyao shouted in anger. However, she was still controlled by others, so her vicious gaze was unable to threaten Ling Xiao.

"You seem to like This King's name a lot, Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis!" Ling Xiao squinted his eyes.

There were only a handful of people in this world who dared to call Ling Xiao by his name, but Gu Jingyao had called him several times in the past few days with hatred in her voice.

"Same here." Gu Jingyao took a deep breath to quell her anger and sneered, "Your highness, if you want to explain, then I'll grant you your wish." As a woman, for a relationship that does not belong to me, I have sacrificed too much to even lose myself. "From now on, I, Gu Jingyao, want to live for myself. I will no longer be an appendage of the Prince, both physically and mentally."

Ling Xiao examined Gu Jingyao for a while and confirmed that there was no emotion in her eyes. Then, he frowned slightly. He felt relaxed but also a bit uncomfortable at the same time.

"If you can think through it, this is the best. When the appropriate time comes, This King can release you, but... "

"Really?" Gu Jingyao was overjoyed. Before she finished listening to Ling Xiao, she interrupted him.

"This King isn't done yet." Ling Xiao said.

"I knew you weren't so kind. Speak up." Gu Jingyao snorted coldly. There was still some expectation in her eyes.

"Before that, you must do a good job for Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis in front of others. Don't embarrass me. In the estate, everything is handed over to Yaoyi. You can't use your status as an imperial concubine and elder sister to suppress her. " Ling Xiao said solemnly.

"First, I'll try my best. But the second point conflicts with the first, so I can't agree to that. " Gu Jingyao thought for a moment before shaking her head.

"Why?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Firstly, if we really let Yaoyi take control of the situation, would the king ensure that no one from the outside would hear about it? At that time, not only will I lose face, my Ping Marquis Mansion will also be charged with being unworthy of my goddaughter. How will my sisters and nieces find a good marriage?

Secondly, your highness isn't afraid of others saying that you disrespected the Emperor for bestowing the marriage, aren't you afraid that others will say that Yaoyi was wrong?

Thirdly, regardless of these two points, if I don't have the authority to control the prince's estate, the people below will not respect this wangfei. "When I was outside, I wanted to put on Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis's airs. I'm afraid no one would be able to help me." Gu Jingyao analyzed.

Ling Xiao was speechless. He didn't think about this, or rather, he didn't want to think about these trivial things.

Seeing that Ling Xiao was thinking about it, Gu Jingyao continued, "I can guarantee that even though I will continue to be in charge of giving feedback, I will not interfere no matter what you want to do to Yaoyi.

If it's inconvenient for your highness to step in, you can use my name to take care of Yaoyi. This will also avoid those rumors. Furthermore, I will not interfere in Yaoyi's matters, nor will I ask for your highness to do your duty as a husband. I just request that you give me the respect that I deserve. "

"This King will consider your conditions carefully." Ling Xiao said.

"Your Highness is wrong, this is not my condition, but the result that Your Highness wants." Gu Jingyao took the test and made herself as comfortable as possible as she continued:

"My condition is that, no matter how the situation may develop in the future, I will not accept the repudiation of my wife, but will only agree to and depart from her. Also, you can't affect the Ping Marquis Mansion, as this unfilial daughter of mine has already caused damage to the reputation of the Ping Marquis Mansion once, so there can never be a second time. "

"This is a bit difficult." Ling Xiao frowned.

It was difficult for the royal family to divorce his wife, let alone He Li. This was unprecedented.

"Things are artificial, and I will strive to create opportunities like this." Gu Jingyao smiled confidently.

As long as she had the same goal as Ling Xiao, it would be much easier for her to deal with things in the future.

She took the opportunity to say, "I also have two conditions, and that is that when I fulfill the conditions put forward by the prince, I would like to request that the prince give me enough freedom and not interfere in my actions."

Ling Xiao looked at Gu Jingyao but didn't reply.

Lv Hee brought back the liquor but didn't know how to use it.

On the day Gu Jingyao was injured, Lv Hee had also washed her with strong alcohol.

However, at that time, the injuries on Gu Jingyao's body were not as severe as they were now.

"For This King." Ling Xiao stretched out his palm and ordered, "Prepare a clean cloth and gold medicine."

"Yes." Lv Hee couldn't bear to stand there and watch, so she could only grit her teeth and retreat.

"Are you sure you can stand it?" Ling Xiao asked as he opened the wine jar.

"Come." Gu Jingyao grabbed the brocade handkerchief from the headboard and stuffed it into her mouth, so as not to bite her tongue from excessive pain.

Seeing that Gu Jingyao had closed her eyes and made her preparations, Ling Xiao did not have any intention of showing mercy to her.

He lifted the wine jar and poured it on Gu Jingyao's back, letting the wine pour on her bloody back while it dripped onto the bed …

Under the washing of the strong liquor, the pain from the already burning wounds quickly doubled.

Gu Jingyao was in so much pain that her delicate body tensed up. Tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes. She gritted her teeth so hard that they made gurgling sounds. She was only missing a mouthful of silver teeth.

After cleaning her back, Gu Jingyao's head tilted to the side and she fell into a coma. She could no longer bear the excruciating pain.

Ling Xiao originally thought that Gu Jingyao would cry from the pain, but he didn't expect her to be able to endure until the end.

Due to Gu Jingyao's endurance, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes that he didn't notice. Even the injured soldiers would let out howls.

After Lv Hee came back, she looked at Gu Jingyao's red and swollen back and covered her mouth in pain and cried.

After his master got married to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, he did not have a day of good days, and now he was beaten to such a state.

When he was in the Ping Marquis Mansion, when had he ever suffered such grievances?

However, Lv Hee only dared to think like this in her heart. She absolutely did not dare to say it out loud, much less cry out on Gu Jingyao's behalf.

After all, this was not their home, so no one could decide for Gu Jingyao.

Seeing that there was no way for Lv Hee to do anything else, Ling Xiao took the bottle and applied the medicine for Gu Jingyao.

Although it was called applying medicine, it was actually sprinkling an entire bottle of powder on Gu Jingyao's back.

The area of the injury was too big. The small bottle of medicinal powder was quickly dyed red by the blood mixed with wine.

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Seeing Ling Xiao carry Gu Jingyao, Lv Hee went forward to stop him in fright.

"Go soft collapse." Ling Xiao replied with three words. He didn't want Lv Hee to wake the unconscious Gu Jingyao up.

With such a severe injury, it would be better for him to sleep, lest he suffer a heart-wrenching pain.

Lv Hee glanced at the bed and understood what Ling Xiao meant. She quickly said, "This servant will go and make the bed soft now."

Ling Xiao hugged Gu Jingyao who was lying on the ground. His arms would naturally touch her soft and tender body, causing him to be a little dazed.

However, when Ling Xiao looked down at the wound on Gu Jingyao's back, the manly impulse disappeared.

After putting Gu Jingyao down, Ling Xiao was ready to leave. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Gu Jingyao. He said in a deep voice, "Deal."

"What did the prince say?" Lv Hee raised her head and asked.
