Chapter 308 Father, please go and save my brother!

"You want to imprison me? No way! I am the son of the Regent of the Northern Desert. What right do you have to arrest me?"

Gao Junning was so angry that his face contorted when he heard that he was going to be arrested.

At this moment, Gao Yufei, who was still standing in the crowd, also looked terrified and angry.

Didn't my brother say he brought her to see the Crown Princess suffer retribution?

Why was the Crown Princess unharmed, while he himself ended up in prison?

No matter what, my brother is a distinguished guest of Daliang. How could they treat him like this?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she couldn't help but run to the center of the hall and roar: "How dare you! I am the princess of Beimo. Today I am here, let's see who dares to touch my brother!"

"You want to condemn my brother based on the words of a lowly woman? That's utterly unreasonable! And Your Highness, are you really not taking revenge on my brother for personal reasons?"

After speaking, Gao Yufei looked at Xiao Ye with a resentful gaze.

She was the most beautiful princess in the Northern Desert. Countless men had tried to win her over but failed, yet he had fallen for her at first sight. It was his good fortune to have her.

But this man seemed blind to her true feelings, indifferent to her sincerity, and allowed his crown princess to harm her.

Now that his brother is merely retaliating normally, is he really going to kill his brother for the sake of the Crown Princess?

Xiao Ye glanced at Gao Yufei with a cold gaze, then looked indifferently at Lord Fang.

He sneered, "Indeed, Young Master Gao has always wanted to separate me and the Crown Princess. His use of such methods to settle personal scores is a criminal justification."

"You...you're talking nonsense! I'm saying you're settling a personal score!"

Gao Yufei was so angry that her face turned red.

Xiao Ye ignored her and had her thrown out.

Although Gao Junning struggled for a while, he was eventually arrested and thrown into jail.

After dealing with them, Fang Da turned his attention to Yi Lan.

In his eyes, this was just an ordinary person, nothing to worry about, and everything was naturally handled according to the law.

Therefore, he immediately announced his decision to execute Yilan.

Yi Lan's pupils only contracted slightly, but she didn't make a scene like Gao Junning.

She knew she had no background in the eyes of these people, and no matter what she said, it wouldn't change her decision.

But she still wanted to know when she would be executed and whether her master would be able to save her in time.

So, after a moment of stunned silence, she feigned fear and asked in a trembling voice, "My...my lord, when...when do you intend to execute me?"

After a moment's thought, Lord Fang said solemnly, "According to the law, once all the procedures are completed, it will be fine in three days. If you have relatives, they can come to see you one last time."

Three days?

That should be enough.

Upon hearing this, Yi Lan's expression relaxed almost imperceptibly for a moment, which was completely captured by Su Liluo on the other side.

After leaving the government office, Su Liluo quietly told Xiao Ye, "Husband, have someone keep a close eye on Yi Lan. I don't think she'll die so easily. The people behind her will probably make a move."

Gao Yufei ran back to the Regent's Palace, sobbing.

Just then, Gao Changhong returned home exhausted.

"Father! Father! Please go and save my brother!"

When Gao Yufei was still about a hundred meters away from the gate, she saw Gao Changhong's back and started to cry loudly.

"Feifei, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this? What happened to Junning?"

Gao Changhong looked completely bewildered.

"Your Highness, your return is just in time. Today, the Crown Prince of Daliang disregarded our objections and came to search the mansion. He even found something and took it with him."

Before Gao Yufei could reach Gao Changhong, the butler anxiously came out from inside.

The reason Xiao Ye's men were able to find things in the Regent's Palace so easily today was because Gao Changhong was not in the palace, which allowed his men to break in smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Changhong frowned deeply, and a look of anger immediately appeared on his face.

"Why is the Crown Prince of Liang searching my residence? Is he really that arrogant?!"

"Father, they've arrested my brother and thrown him in jail. A female physician named Yilan identified him. The Crown Prince came to the palace to search for evidence that wicked woman had hidden!"

Gao Yufei said anxiously.

Upon hearing that Gao Junning had been arrested, Gao Changhong was greatly alarmed.

It seems his son has failed!

He thought he had done a great job and would succeed, but in the end he still lost to someone else!

"I will go to the palace now to find the Emperor of Liang!"

After realizing what was happening, Gao Changhong turned back from stepping into the mansion and headed towards the palace instead.

At this time, Emperor Wenjian also learned that the mastermind behind the murder was Gao Junning. Since he was the son of the regent of the Northern Desert, this matter concerned both countries, so in the afternoon he gathered his court officials in the Golden Palace to discuss the matter.

When Gao Changhong entered the palace, he was directly invited to the Golden Palace by the eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, my son has surely been wronged. I beg you to release him immediately!"

As soon as Gao Changhong entered the main hall, he solemnly bowed to Emperor Wenjian and said...

Emperor Wenjian looked at Gao Changhong with difficulty, "Regent, there is a lot of evidence and witnesses to this matter, so I'm afraid it can't be faked. I was just discussing with my court officials how to deal with your son, and you've come at the right time."

"What witnesses and evidence? It's all fabricated! Your Majesty, you can't just believe that woman's one-sided story. Maybe she was sent by someone to frame my son."

"I am a native of the Northern Desert. Such an act of poisoning the people of Liang would damage the relations between our two countries. Since we came to visit your esteemed nation with sincere intentions, how could we possibly commit such a crime in your country!"

Gao Changhong's face darkened, and his tone was filled with rage.

Emperor Wenjian frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with Gao Changhong's attitude.

So, he glanced at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye stepped forward and said, “Regent, everyone can understand your deep love for your son, but because of your sister’s matter, Young Master Gao has repeatedly tried to separate me and the Crown Princess.”

When all else failed, he devised this treacherous plan to eliminate the Crown Princess and then force me to marry the Princess. Everything has a cause and effect. Now that the truth has been revealed, he naturally owes the people of Liang an explanation.

"You're talking nonsense! My son is not such a fool. Although my daughter was interested in you before, we gave up after you refused. It's not like what you're saying at all."

Gao Changhong retorted confidently.

He absolutely could not admit that Gao Junning had murdered the people of Daliang. He didn't even know if his eldest son was alive or dead, and he barely counted that he only had this one son.

If Gao Junning dies, wouldn't I be left without an heir?
