Gongzi An's rhetorical question instantly woke me up.
That's right. Even though there were some strange things in our previous interactions, couldn't I feel how he treated me? If he really wanted to deal with me, why would he let me go? Why did I deny all the time we spent together just because of someone else's words?
Thinking of this, I suddenly saw the light. Thinking of his current situation, I couldn't help but worry about him. He protected me and let me leave, but what about himself?
"Prince Chen is in danger!" I realized this and moved my body. I almost fell off the tree branch. Gongzi An quickly grabbed me. The corner of his mouth slightly hooked up and he said, "Little Princess, what do you want to do?"
I said, "I want to go back and save him. I also want to hear him tell me in person."
Hearing this, Gongzi An laughed. He said, "My little princess, I've never seen anyone who can calm down so quickly in a chaotic situation. You remind me of Emperor Yong."
I said, "We don't have much time. Can you help me?" After all, I couldn't leave Yu Chi Chen alone with this misunderstanding. I thought that even if the truth was really as Yue Ze said, I had to hear it from Yu Chi Chen's own mouth.
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Gongzi An couldn't help saying, "You trust me so much that I can get the two of you out safely. What if I want to harm Prince Chen?"
I then analyzed it for him. "Since Gongzi An has appeared, he should have noticed something strange a long time ago. What Gongzi An wants to plot now is probably not as simple as me or Prince Chen. It should be something more far - reaching."
Gongzi An's eyes moved, and he burst into laughter instantly. "Princess Xihe is calm and wise. Prince Chen is so lucky to meet you."
I immediately said, "No, no, Gongzi An, you misunderstood me. Actually, I'm not calm at all. I just don't want to think of everything as very bad. Or I hope even more that I can prove it's false myself."
"It's already very rare." Gongzi An looked at me appreciatively. "But if I really want to take you back, I have to press several acupoints on you. Otherwise, your breath will be unstable, and it's easy for that guy in the flowery clothes to find you. I wonder if you can accept this?"
Although he was asking me, I knew I had no choice. When I met Gongzi An, if he wanted to harm me, I couldn't escape anyway. It's better to try to trust him. Maybe there will be a turning point.
I said, "I can accept it. But if I can't move, I'll be a burden to you."
Gongzi An said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, little princess. I will surely protect you well." Then he reached out and pressed several acupoints on me. Then he used his light - body skill to take me back to the ground.
The feeling of weightlessness in my body still made me a little scared, but there were some more important beliefs in my heart. I thought that no matter what, I must hear him say it with my own ears.
When Gongzi An and I returned to the place where Yu Chi Chen had sent me away, both Yu Chi Chen and the man in the flowery clothes were gone. The forest there was in a complete mess. There were some minions lying on the ground. I didn't know if they were unconscious or not. There was also a lot of blood on the ground. It was obvious that there had been a fierce fight. I was even more worried about Yu Chi Chen's safety.
Gongzi An looked around and followed the traces on the ground. He said, "They went that way."
I looked at the traces of the fight on the ground and murmured, "I shouldn't have left him alone."
Gongzi An said, "No, on the contrary, only when you left could he have no worries."
I looked at Gongzi An and said, "Sure enough, we can't just look at the surface of things. Yu Chi Chen was so hostile to you, but you always speak up for him."
Hearing this, Gongzi An laughed mysteriously. "Little princess, remember, the fact that I always speak up for him now may also be just a facade."
I didn't know what to say. I just let Gongzi An continue to take me forward.
We went to a dense forest in front. Finally, we felt some movement ahead. Gongzi An motioned for me to be quiet and then took me forward carefully. His light - body skill was really good. Even with a person on his back, he could approach silently.
We got closer and closer. Finally, we stopped at a place where we could hear the voices. Faintly, through the trees and grass, I seemed to see several figures. One of them was the fair - faced man in the flowery clothes who looked like an empty shell before, and the other was Yue Ze holding a sword.
The two of them were chattering in the language of the Northern Cold. Suddenly, Yu Chi Chen's voice also came out. He was also speaking the language of the Northern Cold, but obviously, they were arguing. I couldn't help holding my breath.
"Do you want me to translate?" Gongzi An's voice suddenly appeared in my mind. I looked at Gongzi An in surprise. Gongzi An just smiled at me. His lips didn't move, and another voice came into my mind. "Are you very surprised?"
I then confirmed that Gongzi An really knew the technique of transmitting sound into the mind! But this technique, even my mother had only heard of it but never seen it. But Gongzi An, who was very low - key in the Northern Cold, actually knew it. How high could his internal strength be? He didn't look very old. Why did he have such strong strength? No wonder Yu Chi Chen was so wary of him.
While I was still sighing here, they chattered a few more sentences over there. I quickly nodded, and Gongzi An's voice came into my mind.
"Yu Chi Chen, you'd better think clearly. If a man wants to achieve great things, he can't be soft - hearted. I've already told you the pros and cons. If you insist on not taking action, we'll have to do it for you!" After the man in the flowery clothes chattered, Gongzi An's voice came into my mind, translating this sentence into the language of the Great Yong. I couldn't help admiring Gongzi An extremely. I could tell from the voice that it was Yu Chi Chen who spoke next.
"Humph, you said you were going to help me, but actually you just wanted to use me. Now that we've fallen out, there's nothing more to say."
Then it was Yue Ze's turn. "Prince Chen, in the current situation, the arrow is already on the string and has to be shot. Ao Qing's father is already ready in the Red Desert City. Tonight is a good opportunity."
Yu Chi Chen was furious. "I never said we should take action today. It's okay that you discussed it privately, but you even dared to touch the distinguished guests from the Great Yong. Are you crazy?"
Yue Ze said, "Prince Chen, don't forget your own background. Your father died a tragic death back then. Emperor Yong also had a hand in it. If Emperor Yong hadn't given the order, how could Empress Feiyu have dared to stab the eldest prince to death? Emperor Yong is your father - killing enemy! If the eldest prince hadn't died back then, how could the Northern Cold be under the Great Yong now, bowing to be a vassal king? The current King of the Northern Cold is a disgrace to our Northern Cold. The eldest prince's accident must have something to do with him. This throne should have belonged to you. Only you can lead the Northern Cold back to glory! What are you still hesitating about? Killing Emperor Yong's son is to make Emperor Yong pay the price for what he did back then. At the same time, it will force the King and Queen of the Northern Cold to break off diplomatic relations with the Great Yong and restore the original status of the Northern Cold! I know the King and Queen of the Northern Cold have raised you, and you also said that you just need them to abdicate and won't hurt their lives, but Emperor Yong's son must be killed!"
