Chapter 288 Waiting for the Lonely One to Destroy the Northern Desert

"You dare to keep such a big matter from me!"

hall.

Gao Changhong was furious when he learned that his daughter had poisoned the people in his household and run off with a nobody.

“Father, I saw that you were already irritable and upset lately, and I didn’t want to worry you any more, so I decided to handle it myself first.”

Gao Junning said with a wronged expression.

At this time, Gao Changhong had already interrogated the people in the mansion severely and learned about Gao Yufei's poisoning.

"You solved it? Is this how you solved it? You went to cast a curse on the Crown Prince and even managed to do it wrong. What use is a useless son like you to me!"

"Father, I know I was wrong. I will definitely find my sister!"

When Gao Junning saw Gao Changhong looking at him with disappointment, he quickly knelt down and made a promise.

"Tell me this man's information, and I will send people to find him!"

Gao Changhong was disappointed with Gao Junning's abilities, so he directly inquired and planned to have his own bodyguards take action.

If we wait for Gao Junning's people to go looking for them, they might already have made it a fait accompli.

Of course, the deed was already done, but he didn't know it yet. He still thought Gao Yufei had just run off with someone else temporarily.

Helpless, Gao Junning had no choice but to tell Gao Changhong all the information he knew.

Soon, Gao Changhong's men brought Gao Yufei and the man back in half a day.

"Waaah, Father, please release Zhang Lang!"

With her hands and feet bound, Gao Yufei knelt on the ground and shouted at Gao Changhong with bloodshot eyes.

"Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang, you call such a nobody a man so affectionately!"

Gao Changhong gave his daughter a look of disappointment and frustration, then kicked the man hard.

"Ah! He's bleeding! He's bleeding! Father, you're so cruel!"

Gao Yufei saw the man suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face was filled with worry.

"Sister, wake up! This man has no status and no martial arts skills. What do you see in him? Aren't you going to marry the Crown Prince of Liang?"

"Wake up! Your brother will help you find a way. I'll definitely make sure you marry the Crown Prince of Liang!"

At this point, Gao Junning couldn't stand it any longer and went over to persuade him.

However, Gao Yufei was already completely controlled by the Gu worms and was confused for a moment when she heard the words "Crown Prince of Liang". She still refused to listen to advice.

Left with no other choice, Gao Junning had to knock Gao Yufei unconscious again.

This time, he personally guarded her, and after a few more days, someone who could remove the curse arrived and saved Gao Yufei.

However, after regaining consciousness, Gao Yufei learned that she had fallen in love with a servant and recalled that she had given herself to him. She was so heartbroken that she fainted again.

"That's actually letting them off easy!"

The Crown Prince's Residence.

Su Liluo recounted to Xiao Ye what she knew about Gao Yufei being poisoned by Gu, and Xiao Ye coldly replied.

If Su Liluo hadn't stopped him, he probably would have taught them an even bigger lesson.

However, Su Liluo felt that, out of respect for the Regent, now was not the time to fall out with them.

However, they still added fuel to the fire.

Soon, news spread throughout the capital of Liang that Gao Yufei had fallen in love with a servant and that they had eloped, only to be caught and brought back by the Regent.

For this reason, Emperor Wenjian even summoned the regent to the palace to inquire.

"Your Highness, who is the princess in your heart? If she likes him very much, I can make it happen and bestow upon him a famous duke or marquis title, so as not to disgrace the princess's status."

Emperor Wenjian asked Gao Changhong in a friendly tone.

He thought that Gao Yufei had taken a liking to this man from Daliang, but the Regent felt that the man's status was too low, so he forcibly separated them, which is why the Regent and the others have been in a bad mood recently.

Emperor Wenjian thought that if he could help elevate the man's status and make things happen, he might even be able to persuade the Regent to give him the Snow Lotus.

Little did Gao Changhong know that his face darkened even more after hearing Emperor Wenjian's words.

"Your Majesty, there's no need."

"Why? Does the Regent feel that the status of a duke or marquis is not enough? If he wishes to be granted the title of a prince of a different surname, it is not impossible, but..."

Emperor Wenjian did not understand the regent's displeasure, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the status of a duke or marquis.

As he spoke, he glanced tentatively at the Regent, trying to suggest that he might offer the Snow Lotus in exchange for the title of Prince.

Unexpectedly, the Regent could not bear it any longer and said in a deep voice, "I have said it is not necessary. My daughter will not marry that man! I can only appreciate the Emperor's good intentions."

this......

Emperor Wenjian's expression darkened upon seeing the regent's demeanor.

"But the princess's reputation is now... Does Your Highness really not want to reconsider?"

"I said it's not necessary, and that means it. If my daughter is to marry, she should marry the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, can you grant this marriage?"

Gao Changhong grew increasingly annoyed as he listened, so he had no choice but to ask directly.

"Marrying the Crown Prince? That's probably not an option."

Emperor Wenjian's face also darkened. With Gao Yufei's reputation in such a state, how could she still marry the Crown Prince?

Isn't that an insult to their royal family?

A woman who eloped with another man in Daliang is not worthy of even the Crown Prince, let alone the Prince of Chu or the Prince of Xiao.

Emperor Wenjian had no choice but to abandon his idea.

Gao Changhong left the palace with a grim expression.

As they were leaving the palace, they ran into Xiao Ye and Su Liluo, who were on their way to visit the Empress.

The three of them bumped into each other as they got on and off the carriage.

Gao Changhong looked at Su Liluo with a dangerous gaze, his expression slightly complicated.

After a moment, she sneered, "The Crown Princess is truly capable. If she can marry into my Northern Desert in the future, she will surely be able to carve out a bloody path for herself there!"

Marrying into the Northern Desert?

Before Su Lilu could react, Xiao Ye's eyes flashed with murderous intent upon hearing these words.

He glanced at Gao Changhong with a sinister look in his eyes, "If my Crown Princess ever goes to the Northern Desert, it will surely be after I have destroyed the Northern Desert, and then I will take her to see the spoils of war."

"Ha, Your Highness, you certainly have a big mouth!"

Gao Changhong looked up and glanced at Xiao Ye again, his eyes showing not only anger at his words but also a hint of admiration.

He had to admit that he admired Xiao Ye's domineering aura and ambition.

Unfortunately, he didn't think much of his daughter, so she wasn't his son-in-law.

Then they can only become enemies.

Furthermore, this Crown Princess looks so much like Ruan Ruan; he must be trying to make up for the regrets between him and Ruan Ruan through her.

If you won't spend your life with me, then your child with someone else will naturally be with my child.

He's just so obsessed.

Only in this way could he find some solace for the painful love he suffered back then.
