Chapter 669: The Emperor's Meal, Exclusively for Me
Jian Ying was startled and hurried to stop him.
"Your Highness, please think twice. Your Highness, please be careful!"
The more Gu Yihe thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed the table and put down his chopsticks in anger.
"He is being unreasonable, why should I think twice?"
It is common for the master to be rude, but Jian Ying does not find it commonplace. Every time she hears or sees it, she is still nervous.
"The emperor is high above and listens to his subordinates. He is the most holy and wise. Even a word from him is a reward of jade, and even a thing is a great favor. Your Highness should not make a fuss about the four words 'making trouble without reason'."
Gu Yihe was furious and completely uncontrollable.
"He is obsessed with his own family and hates his outsiders. Is he wise? Is he worthy of being an emperor?"
"If I feel dissatisfied, I will speak out. Even if he is here, I will speak out."
Jian Ying advised with a chuckle.
"Your Highness, please calm down and stop talking nonsense."
"It's all my fault for being speechless and talking nonsense. I will correct it right away."
"Prince Di Jin has absolutely no ill intentions. I pray that Your Highness will be reasonable and discerning."
Gu Yihe ignored his manners and roared like thunder.
"How can I be rational and see clearly when I have deceived others like this?"
"If you offend him, this princess will have plenty of places to go."
"Humph, what about the secrets of the Tongshitai? They are all fake. Even my second brother is in collusion with them to lie to me. How can this be possible?"
Jian Ying kept persuading.
"Your Highness, this is wrong, this servant..."
Gu Yihe shouted and interrupted her.
"Jian Ying, think carefully, who is your master? Who grew up with you and is as close as a sister to you?"
"If you dare to refute me again, I will be rude to you!"
Jian Ying had no choice but to lower her voice and agree.
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Your Highness is absolutely right. Prince Di Jin is just being unreasonable."
Gu Yihe forced herself to calm down.
"If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have been so angry."
"I am not like a certain emperor who is narrow-minded and intolerant."
Jian Ying comforted and flattered.
"Your Highness is magnanimous and generous. I admire you very much."
She changed the subject and approach to appease her master.
"Although King Di Jin is hateful, please think about it, Your Highness. How can Princess Yuexi be xenophobic? She especially cherishes the affection of Emperor Yue. She is the most trustworthy among us. She will never tolerate us."
Gu Yihe's pent-up anger suddenly dissipated.
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Seeing the results, Jian Ying was secretly happy.
"In that case, if Your Highness encounters difficulties, why not seek help from her?"
Gu Yihe’s reply was unexpected.
"No help."
"Her strategy is not as good as mine. Is it appropriate for me to ask her for help?"
"If King Di Jin really wants to test me, I will take her with me and leave together."
"She treats me well, and my Second Brother cherishes her. If things are not going well for Prince Dijin and his subjects, I will definitely not leave her alone."
Jian Ying was secretly happy and left, feeling helpless.
"Abandon together? Not really."
"Prince Dijin, it's just a little bit of testing, why can't Your Highness tolerate it? Returning to the emperor's side, isn't that more of a test?"
Gu Yihe's arguments are eloquent, his words are strict and his meaning is correct.
"My beloved uncle claims to be righteous and has won everyone's praise, but his actions are contrary to his words. I certainly cannot tolerate this."
"Father, at least you are more sincere than him."
There was a hint of timidity in Jian Ying's eyes.
"Your Highness is determined not to seek help?"
"How about you think about it again?"
Gu Yihe was as bold as a lion and did not flinch at all.
"I have made up my mind. I must eat the imperial meal."
"Ran, don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I won't drag you down."
Jian Ying calmed herself down and put away all her cowardice.
"Your Highness has made up his mind, and I have no fear. You and I, master and servant, will face danger together, and we will face it together."
Gu Yihe smiled knowingly and picked up the chopsticks again.
"I appreciate your kindness."
"I will enjoy the imperial meal alone; the rest is up to you."
At the same time, Tong Zhenzhi asked to see the mansion, and the servant reported it to Jinlanju as soon as possible.
After Gu Yihe informed Ning Yunxi of the secret order, she was already prepared. Upon hearing the news, she agreed to meet him and sent a spy to secretly observe the girl's every move.
Soon, Qiu Bi received the intelligence and reported it to her master.
"The girl secretly took the jade plate made in accordance with the emperor's regulations and went to the guest kitchen without leaving any trace. I don't know why."
Ning Yunxi asked in detail.
"I don't know what to do, or have you not taken any action yet?"
Qiu Bi replied.
"Hidden in the kitchen, no action yet, no idea what he is trying to do."
Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and figured out the whole plan.
"This virgin lady, who is not very smart in her actions, can come up with such a clever plan."
"Maybe there is someone behind the scenes giving advice."
Qiu Bi was confused.
"My subordinate is stupid. What's her plan of hiding in the kitchen?"
Ning Yunxi spoke eloquently, describing the other party's strategy.
"She is carrying an object of love, and wants to borrow the Sixth Princess's hand..."
After hearing this, Qiu Bi was shocked and commented from the heart.
"It's really a good idea."
She harbored personal grudges and made assumptions.
"The person behind the virgin girl has a very deep plan, which is beyond estimation."
"In my humble opinion, this must have been done by the Sixth Princess. She pretended to trust the princess, but in fact, she didn't believe in the relationship with the Fourth Brother at all."
"He surrendered on the surface, but in reality he was pretending to surrender. Princess, please think carefully about this."
Ning Yunxi looked slightly serious, yet gentle.
"Don't ruin the overall situation for your brother because of your own selfishness."
Qiu Bi lowered her head and brows.
"Yes, I made a mistake."
Ning Yunxi pondered anxiously, trying to figure out the other party's plan carefully.
"Prince Li is hiding near Shengjing and will be back soon. With his extraordinary scheming, it is not difficult for him to think of using the virgin girl's background to set up a trap and make her unknowingly become their informant."
Qiu Bi's eyes lit up.
"The princess is so amazing that she can even understand Prince Li's thoughts."
Ning Yunxi realized it later and felt ashamed.
"You are right. I am not that powerful. I should not have guessed Prince Li's plan."
"Just now, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"This strategy may be someone else's."
Hearing that there was a misunderstanding, Qiu Bi hurried to explain.
"This is not what I meant."
"I admire the princess's wisdom and talent. I sincerely admire her."
Ning Yunxi smiled faintly in response.
"I know you are sincere, but what you said also makes sense."
"I have seen through this man's plan. His talent and strategy should be on par with mine. He is just ordinary, not a master."
Qiu Bi insisted on praising.
"That man is indeed ordinary, but the princess is extraordinary."
Ning Yunxi thought carefully and Xingyi gave instructions.
"In a moment, go and ask for help from the guard, Lord Gao. Tell him that someone is plotting to murder the Sixth Princess, and ask him to protect her."
"If the jade dish is not touched and Lord Gao is gone, it will be a good opportunity to be a witness, so as to prevent the Sixth Princess from misunderstanding that we have ulterior motives. But if the jade dish is not there... I am at a loss as to what to do, so let him improvise."
"Remember, I let Master Gao go alone, on the pretext that I didn't want to see her because of my rival's incompatibility."
Qiu Bi curled her lips.
"She wants 'Brother Mu'. The princess secretly arranged for my brother to go there. When she wakes up, she will be furious."
Ning Yunxi corrected.
"Mr. Gao is definitely not a person with bad intentions."
Qiu Bi understood the meaning on her own.
"My cousin naturally despises her."
"Princess, why not arrange for a handsome anchor to go there? Maybe she will be satisfied."
The clouds in Ningyunxi are vast and beautiful.
"Just do as you are told. I know what to do."
