Chapter 675 Kaixiao Persuasion
Gao Jing felt completely baffled.
“Well, is that the point?”
"Please forgive my rudeness. He'er has already joined the prince's army and is one of us. How can the prince treat her so indifferently?"
Yan Yu was also puzzled.
"Why are you angry when the king treats her so indifferently?"
"Falling in love after just one date? That's not possible."
Gao Jing roared furiously.
"Please, my Lord, use polite words!"
Lin Mu persuaded.
"How can a loyal general and good minister offend his superior? Lord Gao, please calm down."
Gao Jing lowered his head, his anger evident in his words.
"Wei Chen is guilty."
Lin Mu thought carefully and then spoke frankly.
"Please forgive us for our misconduct. Lord Gao has secretly admired the Sixth Princess for many years, so he cannot tolerate any disrespectful words."
Yan Yu suddenly became clear.
"I see."
"No wonder she schemed against Gao Jing. She didn't need to use her brain, and her calculations were always accurate. I thought that Gao Jing took the bait because he cared about the relationship between cousins."
Lin Mu's eyes were warm and his words were gentle.
"They are not blood relatives, so how can there be kinship?"
"Love is deep and lasting. Lord Gao has always been particularly concerned about the Sixth Princess."
Yan Yu was puzzled.
"This isn't a bad thing, why are you hiding it from me?"
Lin Mu elaborated.
"Before, the Sixth Princess was an enemy after all, and Lord Gao had always wanted to let go of the 'bad fate' and forget about her. Therefore, he kept it a secret from everyone and said nothing."
"I was fortunate enough to overhear their private conversation, and was able to guess what was on Lord Gao's mind. Then, Lord Gao saw that he could no longer conceal his feelings, so he opened up to me."
"We agreed not to let anyone else know. Unexpectedly, Princess Yuexi found out at some point."
"Princess Yuexi, you are indeed very smart."
Yan Yu's starry eyes showed a sense of pride.
"Little sister, you are smart and clever."
"By the way, I have something important to tell you, which is my little sister's life experience..."
A few days ago, when Lin Mu entered the secret room of the palace and saw Fang Renshu's portrait, he had guessed the mystery of Ning Yunxi's life experience. Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard it today.
In front of the prince, Lin Mu restrained his talents and was not ostentatious. He responded respectfully, as if he was the one who heard it now.
Having grown up together, Yan Yu knew a lot about him. Seeing his humility, Yan Yu immediately understood what he meant.
It seems that this guy had anticipated this.
He is so talented at such a young age, which is really enviable.
Why don’t I have such a cool golden finger?
Alas, it was a wasted trip. The only golden finger is my own medical laboratory.
After the conversation, Lin Mu took his leave and went to Jinlanju to ask Princess Yuexi for help.
Ning Yunxi agreed readily upon hearing this.
She first sent a message to the maid, asking her to release Tong Zhenzhi from the battle, letting her know that she had been defeated and leave Prince Di Jin's mansion; then, she hurried to the guest room.
Gu Yihe was unhappy and still sulking.
Ning Yunxi smiled calmly and sat beside her.
"Your Highness, who are you angry with? Why don't you tell me and I will try to relieve you."
Gu Yihe glanced at her.
"You're asking me about what the princess arranged?"
Ning Yunxi poured a cup of tea and offered it to her.
"As expected, this clumsy plan cannot be hidden from Your Highness at all."
"Your Highness is so talented that I cannot even begin to compare to him."
Gu Yihe took the teacup, took a sip, and swallowed the bitterness.
"Even I myself don't know when I fell in love with him. I fantasize that I am devoted to Lord Lin."
"How can you tell who I really love?"
Ning Yunxi answered.
"Your Highness is so profound that I cannot fathom what he is. I have witnessed some things with my own eyes and have been able to infer this by chance."
Gu Yihe was confused.
"Witnessed, what?"
"I had no idea that I admired him, and I never expressed it, nor did I know how to show it."
"How do you know that?"
Ning Yunxi spoke to her frankly as if they were having a heart-to-heart talk.
"In this life, you are indeed non-expressive, but this was not the case in your previous life."
"I have experienced many rebirths and have experienced many vicissitudes of life. I am fortunate to have witnessed the elegance of Your Highness in several lives."
"In the first life, you and I were enemies. For the sake of the king's interests, I planned to kill you."
"Your Highness knows that my strategy is not as good as yours. It is extremely difficult to eliminate the trouble forever. In a head-on confrontation, I have defeated you several times. Unexpectedly, one of my plans went wrong and the guard Gao was killed. He is in danger."
"You were distracted trying to save him, so you couldn't help but miss me. The result is predictable. You saved him, but you couldn't save yourself."
"You and I were not familiar with each other in our previous lives. To me, this is a trivial matter, not worth remembering. Slowly, I forgot about it."
"Until a while ago, when I talked about the past life with Qiu Bi and analyzed the love in Lord Lin's heart, I suddenly remembered that in your past life, it seemed that you died for Lord Gao. Lord Gao also never forgot about you and always held a grudge against me."
"After pondering this, I came to the conclusion."
Listening to her narration, Gu Yihe seemed to see the past life, and felt a little emotional.
"He is brave but not wise, and has been laughed at since he was a child. I don't want to admit that I love stupid people, so I always deceive myself."
"The three of us often played together, and outsiders all said that Lord Lin and I were a perfect match. So I said that I was in love with him, and as I said that, I deceived myself."
Ning Yunxi spoke softly and caringly.
"It's not easy to go through life, but I finally understand what I love, and I should cherish it. Why should I quarrel with you?"
During the conversation, Gu Yihe developed a deep understanding of her and began to treat her as a close friend, with whom she became intimately acquainted.
"What he said was too much. I'll imitate it for you..."
She imitated Gao Jing's expression vividly, and her retelling of his words was clear to the ears without any exaggeration.
After she finished speaking, she looked angry and frustrated.
"Listen to me, what are you talking about? Even if I have the capacity to embrace the universe, it's hard not to be angry."
Ning Yunxi stared in astonishment, unable to believe what she heard.
"He really said that?"
Gu Yihe's poems are full of vigor and vitality.
"Yes, that's exactly what he said."
Ning Yunxi affirmed it.
“It’s a bit excessive indeed.”
Gu Yihe corrected angrily.
“Too much!”
"From ancient times to the present, no man or woman has ever spoken like him."
“He’s not even human.”
Ning Yunxi was unable to utter any radical words for a moment, so she picked out words with similar meanings to express her own opinions.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true."
"Mr. Gao's words are ill-considered and extremely inappropriate."
"If it were me, I would find it hard to accept."
Gu Yihe raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction.
"Heroes see the same thing."
Ning Yunxi is free from worries.
"But continuing this cold war is not a solution."
"How does Your Highness intend to resolve this conflict?"
Gu Yihe's voice is sonorous and powerful.
"Wait for him to apologize."
Ning Yunxi asked a question.
"Your Highness just recounted it. Lord Gao apologized, didn't he?"
Gu Yihe was stunned.
"Uh... yes... but..."
Ning Yunxi continued her words.
"But your highness, you still can't forgive me?"
Gu Yihe frowned.
"I felt uncomfortable, like I was in a knot. I couldn't get over it. I felt that he was not sincere enough."
"I asked him to leave, and he really left. Even if I tried to keep him, he didn't feel my reluctance at all."
Ning Yunxi continued to ask questions.
"Your Highness said, 'I have something to say, I have a lot to say', 'Are you in such a hurry to leave? You have to rush me to speak quickly', these two sentences really show reluctance, but Lord Gao may not understand."
"Since you want to keep me, Your Highness, why can't you just say it directly?"
