Shen Nanxiao's words made the relaxed look on Ye Shengxuan's face disappear in an instant.
His hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, as if he was struggling.
After a while, he said: "I'll send it to the master eight hundred miles away to see what she says."
"That's too late!"
Shen Nanxiao's face turned pale, "Let me ask you, how many days has it been since this crime was punished?"
"Today happens to be the sixth day."
Hearing this, Shen Nanxiao staggered back and said, "You must let me go immediately, otherwise, she will definitely die."
Ye Shengxuan looked at Shen Nanxiao in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "Then how do I know if you will go back and kill her?"
"I won't!"
"Haha!" Ye Shengxuan sneered, clearly not believing her, "She lied to you to this point, and then kept you under house arrest in Liangzhou for a long time. I don't believe you are any kind of saint, and you don't have any resentment at all."
Shen Nanxiao wanted to say something else, but Ye Shengxuan interrupted her directly.
"From the day we followed her on this road, we have put life and death aside. If we fail this time, it will be because of his Gu family's endless energy, and it is our fate."
"As far as I know, Xiangguo doesn't have any great friendship with her. She deserves to be rescued like this. I will lead the Ming Yu army to support her."
After finishing his words, Ye Shengxuan turned around to leave, but was stopped by Shen Nanxiao again.
"Do you want to see people dying of hunger and rivers of blood flowing everywhere?"
"The army under the Regent is no weaker than the Underworld Army. The worst result will be that both sides will suffer losses."
Ye Shengxuan looked sideways slightly, unmoved at all.
"If the Gu family could secure the throne, wouldn't it be possible without bloodshed and sacrifice?"
Ye Shengxuan snorted lightly and ordered: "Keep an eye on Shen Nanxiao, and the rest of you will order troops to follow me."
…
Ye Shengxuan left in a hurry, but at this moment, Dayin was already surrounded like an iron barrel.
The people brought by Gu Liuming surrounded the palace without any explanation, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
He took off his armor and weapons alone and resolutely walked into Zhaode Hall.
As soon as he entered, the door of the palace was quickly closed.
He looked around the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Tingfang, who was sitting at the desk. Next to him was Yin Luzhu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Gu Liuming's eyes flickered between the two of them for a moment, and then he knelt down.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"Uncle, there is no need to be polite."
Gu Liuming stood up. He looked around the palace again, but didn't see anything wrong. Then he asked, "Is everything okay, Your Majesty?"
Gu Tingfang's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. He felt the sharp dagger pressed against his waist behind him. If he said the wrong word, the dagger would quickly pierce his body.
So, he coughed lightly and said, "Everything is fine. I'm sorry, uncle."
Gu Tingfang's words set off alarm bells in Gu Liuming's heart. His nephew had never been a polite person.
If he really had nothing to do and saw himself leading troops to surround the imperial city, he would definitely be furious and would not be so calm.
The string in his mind suddenly connected, and he quickly pulled out the dagger from his boot and threw it at Yin Luzhu.
The latter turned around and dodged, and at this moment, Gu Tingfang finally escaped from her control.
Gu Liuming stared at Yin Luzhu, his eyes almost splitting, "You are indeed the one causing trouble! How dare a mere woman do such a treasonous thing."
