PFC Chapter 984: Thank you uncle for your concern
Chapter 984: Thank you uncle for your concern
Fang Zhixuan, Zhou Zixi and Miao Si conspired together to create a false impression in Shengjing, pretending that Gu Yuanqiong's plan had been a complete victory.
Several spies searched in various places and confirmed it without a doubt. They came back one after another and reported the results to Gu Yuanqiong.
With frequent good news and great achievements, Gu Yuanqiong was overjoyed and ordered all his subordinates to immediately follow him back to the capital, seize the throne, and rule the world.
The crowd came in a mighty procession, taking a shortcut and entering Shengjing from the west gate.
He wanted to reap the benefits while being a fisherman, but when he saw the emperor's carriage parked not far away, Gu Yuanqiong realized that his plan had failed.
The brocade robe was as dark as the night, and the silver and gold threads outlined the emperor's majesty. Yan Yu walked down from the carriage slowly, facing Prince Li and his group, smiling without uttering a word.
Forced by his status as Lord Yan, even though Gu Yuanqiong was unwilling, he had no choice but to lead his men to get off the carriage quickly and follow etiquette.
"I wish you the best of health, uncle."
"Welcome King Dijin to live forever."
Among the crowd, only Ning Yunxi did not bow. She stood out among them, wearing a white dress, which set off her graceful figure and made her look particularly dazzling.
Gazing at the little sister, Yan Yu smiled from the bottom of her heart. She first helped everyone up, and then waved to her.
"All the ministers are exempted from the courtesy."
"Little sister, come here."
Ning Yunxi responded and left happily.
"Brother."
Everyone thanked him and stood up.
Before Gu Yuanqiong could stand still, he saw Ning Yunxi jumping for joy and running towards Yan Yu.
The scene of her quickly passing him and running towards Yan Yu kept appearing in his mind.
Suddenly, it seemed as if I saw my second brother and third sister, who were also like this, wholeheartedly following Yan Yu and cruelly abandoning him.
Gu Yuanqiong was deeply shocked and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She must have been forced by the imperial power, like him, to follow the rules.
Or, due to the family mission, she had to obey King Dijin.
Right, that is it.
There is no true love in the imperial family; Xi'er is definitely not the kind of person who tries to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Therefore, there is only the courtesy between the two of them, that is, the emperor and his subject, and no other affection.
Yan Yu asked softly.
"Are you okay?"
Ning Yunxi shook her head.
"Don't worry, brother. I'm fine."
She leaned close to his ear and whispered a request, asking her brother to help save the Sixth Princess and the Fourth Sister.
Following the little sister's suggestion, Yan Yu resumed her polite smile and walked leisurely in front of King Li.
"My dear nephew, you are back from your trip. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Gu Yuanqiong lowered his eyebrows in respect.
"Thanks to the great blessing of your uncle, everything goes well for me, your nephew."
Yan Yu is a kind person.
"As long as it goes well."
"Now that I know you are safe and sound, I can finally put my worries to rest."
Gu Yuanqiong smiled slightly.
"Thank you, uncle, for your concern."
Yan Yu glanced and looked down at the Sixth Princess.
"My dear nephew He'er, why are you here?"
"Are you here to welcome nephew Qiong'er back to the capital as well?"
"Why are you among all the nobles? Could it be that you are going out of the city to welcome him?"
"Alas, compared to you, I seem to lack sincerity."
"You were going to go out of the city to meet him, why didn't you tell me earlier? I should go with you, lest my nephew Qiong'er think too much and mistakenly think that I was not serious."
After hearing his words, Gu Yihe understood that the previous misunderstanding had been resolved, and she was secretly happy.
Gu Yuanqiong silently moved half a step and stood in front of his third sister.
"How dare I trouble the uncle to come out of the city to welcome you? I feel ashamed and terrified to accept this."
Yan Yu acted like an uncle and nephew with deep affection.
"You're welcome, nephew."
"I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many years, so I am going to greet you in person to express my longing for you."
Gu Yuanqiong bowed.
"I am flattered by your favor from my uncle."
Yan Yu turned his head, pretending to be accidental, and saw Mi Yao.
"Oh?"
"When did a beautiful woman appear by my nephew's side?"
Anticipating his evil intentions, Gu Yuanqiong immediately spoke out, intending to protect Yao'er.
"Please introduce her to me, nephew Rong Chen. She is..."
Yan Yu raised her voice, speaking louder than Prince Li, and gave an order to Mi Yao.
"Look up, my king, let me see."
Mi Yao responded respectfully, lowered her eyes, and raised her head cautiously.
"Yes."
Gu Yuanqiong spoke again.
"Uncle Emperor..."
Yan Yu turned a deaf ear and made his request directly.
"Very beautiful, I like it."
"My dear nephew, are you willing to give it up?"
There was a hint of coldness in Gu Yuanqiong's eyes.
"Is the uncle giving the order in the name of Yu's will, or is he asking in the name of a relative?"
Yan Yu was complacent and analyzed the meaning.
"My dear nephew, if you say so, you are willing to give it up."
"Thank you very much."
Seeing his arbitrary and tyrannical behavior, Gu Yuanqiong was furious.
Yan Yu didn't pay much attention to Prince Li and turned to ask Yu Mi Yao.
"What's your name?"
Facing her savior for the first time, Mi Yao was so nervous that her hands couldn't stop shaking.
"Reporting to the prince, my name is Mi Yao."
Yan Yu smiled and praised generously.
"You are beautiful and your name is nice. From now on, you will follow me."
Mi Yao bowed respectfully.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Yao'er was teased and mocked by the thieves in public. Gu Yuanqiong had murderous intentions hidden and was burning with anger.
Yan Yu gave a quick order to rescue the Sixth Princess.
"My dear nephew He'er, please come back with me. I have something to tell you."
Gu Yihe was beautiful and graceful.
"Your Majesty obeys your order."
Yan Yu ordered.
"Go back home."
Gu Yuanqiong and others knelt down and saluted.
"Farewell, uncle."
"Farewell, Prince Dijin."
As this was the case, Gu Yuanqiong returned in defeat, and the rest of the group, frustrated and dejected, went to Prince Li's mansion.
After entering the main hall, Zhuo Minlan spoke anxiously without waiting to sit down.
"My junior sister has fallen into the hands of King Dijin, what should we do?"
She was so worried that she forgot the rules and complained loudly.
"Just now, in front of everyone, we were not allowed to speak without the permission of King Dijin. Your Highness had the opportunity to save Little Junior Sister, but why did he stand by and watch?"
"It's fine if you just stood by and watched, but you actually had the mood to save Miss Mi when our junior sister was in trouble."
"Miss Mi is no longer a virgin. It's no big deal if she is tortured a little after accompanying King Di Jin for a few days. But Junior Sister is a noble girl. If she falls into the tiger's mouth, she will be in danger!"
"Who should be saved and who should not be saved? Why do you need me to teach you? How can Your Majesty not distinguish between the primary and the secondary?"
After waiting quietly for her to finish speaking, Ji Feiyan pretended to scold her.
"Second Junior Sister, shut up and sit down."
She turned to the prince and apologized on his behalf.
"My inferior sister is rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The big plan failed, and the situation was worse than before. Gu Yuanqiong couldn't afford to lose the help of Beizhaotai, so he gave face and spoke humbly.
"Master Ji, your words are too serious."
"Master Zhuo is absolutely right. I was not in the right way in this matter. Please forgive me."
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty is too modest. I dare not do that."
Ji Feiyan acted in a sympathetic and fair manner.
"Sixth Princess, Lady Mi, and Junior Sister, no matter who is in trouble, we cannot sit idly by."
"From a fool's point of view, this is a difficult problem that cannot be solved without wisdom."
Gu Yuanqiong forced a smile.
"This king has experienced many defeats and is in a state of confusion. I would like to ask you all, do you have any good ideas?"
With his permission, the people of Beizhaotai started the discussion.
Gu Yuanqiong listened carefully, responded appropriately, and remained humble.
After listening to all the suggestions, they were all ways to save Xier. Gu Yuanqiong's patience gradually ran out and he became more and more frustrated.
After a lot of effort, they finished their discussion and left. Gu Yuanqiong, exhausted, walked towards the bedroom.
