Chapter 447: Calling the Imperial Aunt
Yan Yu left the throne quietly, her starry eyes slightly drooping, expressing her deep sorrow and grief, and her pity and helplessness, which was vivid and incisive.
"Based on his one-sided statement alone, you are questioning me. Is it true or not?"
"Then how do you view the wrongs he has done to you?"
"On the night of the fire in Prince Chen's Mansion, who was it that cried and told me that you would never trust him again?"
"You and I are almost invincible when we work together. Who promised me that I would not doubt you, brother, because you are so kind and loyal to me?"
Ning Yunxi felt so deeply guilty that she could hardly breathe.
"me……"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Nianting left his seat, walked to Ning Yunxi, and urgently advised her.
"Xi'er, don't listen to his nonsense. Just think carefully about why he doesn't dare to answer your question directly. Isn't he guilty?"
Yan Yu acted innocent, but he was able to control his emotions freely. He glanced at Gu Nianting and exchanged sharp words with him in a righteous manner.
"Gu Nianting, are you reasonable?"
"When has this king ever spoken nonsense?"
"Behind your seemingly glorious marriage, she emptied your savings, gave you the betrothal gifts, and the dowry. Even the money needed for the wedding banquet was borrowed from her, and she never paid it back!"
"Besides that, there are countless cases of harsh treatment after marriage."
"One by one, have I wronged you?"
"How dare you come to my palace and accuse me of something?"
"Even if I act this way, so what? Compared to your bad deeds, my kindness and favor are a hundred times better than yours."
The past was still fresh in Ning Yunxi's mind, and she suddenly understood.
"Brother, what you said is very true."
The situation took a sudden turn and Gu Nianting was caught off guard.
"Xier?"
Ning Yunxi's expression immediately turned cold.
"The two of us have long since separated. Your Highness, please respect yourself and be careful with your address."
Gu Nianting suppressed all emotions, spoke softly and patiently.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
"It was indeed my fault that you were the only one to bear the expenses of our marriage, but listen to my explanation. This was all Mother's intention. She intended to replenish the treasury, and I was at most an accomplice."
"It is not my intention to be treated badly after marriage. I have already explained it before. I have a hidden reason."
Hearing this again, Ning Yunxi asked curiously.
"What's the secret?"
Gu Nianting still found it difficult to speak.
"This……"
"With an outsider present, it is inconvenient to say too much. Please come back with me and I will tell you in private, okay?"
If you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it. Ning Yunxi stopped asking and returned to the plan.
"At this point, you still have no remorse and want to deceive me."
Gu Nianting was filled with sorrow and was unable to defend himself.
"I told you the truth and I didn't lie to you. The one who really lied to you was the Emperor's uncle."
Ning Yunxi's attitude was resolute and unwavering.
"You hurt me like that, and you still have an unclear relationship with Ning Wanshan. I will never trust you again!"
Gu Nianting explained tirelessly.
"I……"
Yan Yu glanced at him sideways and interrupted him impatiently.
"Okay, shut up. I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense."
He smiled leisurely, returned to the throne triumphantly, and waved towards Ning Yunxi.
"Little sister, come here."
Ning Yunxi walked over obediently and sat beside him.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Yan Yu held her in his arms, his breath charming, and gently stroked her earlobe.
"You just suspected me without any reason, and I was deeply hurt. Do you think you can get rid of me with just a simple apology?"
Ning Yunxi asked delicately.
"Then what compensation do you want?"
Yan Yu's starry eyes were fixed on her without moving a moment, and her hands were soft and, unknowingly, they touched her belt.
"You know what I want."
"Stay with me tonight."
Gu Nianting took two steps forward, wanting to stop him, but then realized his humble status and stepped back.
"Xier!"
Yan Yu was frustrated and angry.
"I ordered you to shut up. Don't you have ears?"
Xie Mao resolutely stood on Gu Nianting's side and advised him earnestly.
"Princess, don't believe in those ulterior motives."
"Your Highness Prince Chen is kindhearted, so it is the right thing to do to follow him back to the palace. Since he said that he has something to hide, there must be a reason. I beg you, Princess, to trust him again?"
Ning Yunxi lay quietly in Yan Yu's arms, ignoring everything.
Yan Yu's eyes were filled with coldness and arrogance as she looked at him disdainfully.
"Xie Mao, what do you mean?"
Indignant that his loving mother had been taken advantage of, Xie Mao clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
"Your Majesty, if you are unkind first, then don't blame me for being unjust."
Yan Yu's face darkened completely.
"Everyone in the world is a subject of the Yan clan. How dare you betray them?"
Xie Mao felt at ease and did not answer, but instead made stern demands.
"There is no point in saying more. Please, my lord, let the princess go."
Yan Yu let go with confidence, knowing victory was in his grasp.
"If I let her go, will she be willing to go with you?"
Ning Yunxi took the initiative to hug Yan Yu tightly, not wanting to leave. She looked at him infatuatedly, smiling sweetly, looking like an innocent woman who had been deeply deceived by the man.
"Thank you, sir. Don't be impulsive. Although my brother has taken advantage of me, he has a righteous heart. He is doing it for the people of the world."
Xie Mao was helpless and spoke with deep sincerity.
"Princess, you are confused."
"Could it be that the princess can only see the handsome face of Prince Di Jin and completely ignore what he did?"
Ning Yunxi insisted on his own opinion.
"The one who turned a blind eye was obviously you."
"When faced with great events, one should give up one's own family. This is the ancient wisdom. Hasn't Lord Xie read it?"
Xie Mao frowned in displeasure.
"It's a distortion, it's a fabrication, I've never read it."
Ning Yunxi glanced at him with disdain.
"Yes, I did make it up."
"But, according to the ancient righteousness, a loyal minister should not serve two masters. Sir Xie, you are not unfamiliar with this, right?"
Xie Mao's eyes were frozen and cold as ice.
"The princess is a very eloquent person. I am no match for her."
"Since you insist, I won't say anything more."
Gu Nianting persisted and tried to persuade.
"Xier..."
Ning Yunxi was furious.
"Did I tell His Royal Highness Prince Chen to be careful about how he addresses you?"
Yan Yu smiled playfully.
"We should really be careful about how we address people."
"Ting'er, you should respectfully address me as the Imperial Aunt."
Gu Nianting's eyes were bloodshot and he was almost furious.
"you!"
Yan Yu was arrogant and prone to being domineering.
"You dare to disobey my words?"
Gu Nianting lowered his eyebrows in respect.
"I dare not."
Yan Yu's smile became more and more arrogant.
"Then just scream."
It seemed as if there was a cold wind and rain that soaked his whole body, making him unable to raise his head or straighten his back. Gu Nianting was full of grievance and spoke respectfully.
"Royal Aunt."
Ning Yunxi pursed her lips in disdain, sneering and mocking.
"Well, good nephew."
Gu Nianting's fighting spirit grew stronger.
It turns out that the emperor's uncle's methods of dealing with women are so clever that even Xier was fooled by him.
This kind of person obviously plays with countless women, and is extremely dirty.
Xi'er Baishui's character is pure and flawless, how could she allow this person to play with her at will?
When I seize power over the Eight Terraces and take advantage of all the political opportunities, I will start a rebellion to rescue Xier and get her out of this miserable situation!
Yan Yu was very satisfied and waved her sleeves.
"see a visitor out."
Gu Nianting and Xie Mao said goodbye and left together.
Yan Yu returned to her normal expression and couldn't wait to ask.
"I pretended to be a playboy, how was the effect, how was my acting?"
