Chapter 404 She was still quite happy.

The father and son met eyes, and he saw the genuine killing intent in Gao Yuanbin's eyes.

That's right!

At the moment he was about to strike downwards with his sword, Gao Yuanbin's killing intent was genuine!

At that moment, he thought of the grievances his mother had suffered in front of this woman, how she had framed his mother, and how she had hurt him!

Those repeated humiliations and the scenes of being framed kept replaying in his mind.

Now that Yan'er is 'dead,' he is taking this opportunity to go mad. Isn't this also a good chance for revenge?

If he really went mad and killed Mo Hanyu, he thought, so what if Gao Changhong was angry?

He finally had a suitable reason to go crazy.

But now Gao Changhong is actually standing in front of this wicked woman. Is he trying to stop her from taking revenge?

hehe!

In the end, he still protected this wicked woman!

This realization infuriated and disgusted Gao Yuanbin, and even his gaze towards Gao Changhong was filled with murderous intent. However, he also understood that he could not commit patricide.

So, after confronting Gao Changhong for half an hour, he gradually released the force in his hands.

He took a few steps back in dejection.

"Are you crazy? She's your legal mother! What are you doing?"

Gao Changhong gasped for breath a few times, then cursed at Gao Yuanbin.

"Yan'er is dead! Dead..."

Gao Yuanbin lowered his head, looking heartbroken from a distance. His voice was broken and trembling, making it clear to anyone who saw him that he had suffered a shock.

Gao Changhong then softened his tone, "A woman is dead, so what? Why are you going crazy over your stepmother? You say she killed this woman, do you have any evidence?"

Although he also believed that Mo Hanyu was responsible, Mo Hanyu was, after all, his nominal princess. If Gao Yuanbin were to kill her, it would be a scandal for the Regent's Palace.

He naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"Evidence? She tried to poison Yan'er last time. Besides her, who else in the entire palace would want Yan'er dead!"

Gao Yuanbin roared out a heart-wrenching cry.

Indeed, now everyone thinks that, apart from Mo Hanyu, no one wants Chu Yan to die more than her.

But at this moment, Mo Hanyu, who was lying on the ground with blood still flowing from her body, really felt wronged.

She was suffering inside!

She wanted Chu Yan dead, but this time it really wasn't her who did it!

However, she was still quite happy to see Chu Yan die.

If this woman dies, will this unfilial son collapse and become despondent?

"Mother!"

Just as Mo Hanyu was feeling happy, Gao Yufei's shrill scream suddenly came from the courtyard gate.

She looked up and saw Gao Yufei and Gao Junning standing there in a daze.

Gao Yufei ran to her side crying, looking at the bloodstains on her body with fear in her eyes.

After a long pause, he finally snapped, "Where's the doctor? Why haven't you called a doctor? My mother is dying! Go and fetch a doctor right now!"

Mo Hanyu's wounds were bandaged, and she lay weakly on the bed while Gao Changhong and the others stood in the room.

Gao Yuanbin still had a cold expression, but the weapon in his hand had long been taken away by Gao Changhong's men.

"Yuan Bin, you haven't even caught the person yet, how can you so rashly assume that the Princess did it?"

After calming down, Gao Changhong spoke to him earnestly again.

He had just inquired with the servants and learned that Gao Yuanbin had taken Chu Yan hunting today when they encountered assassins. Chu Yan was shot in the heart and died while shielding him from an arrow, but the assassins were not caught.

Although Gao Changhong also felt that Mo Hanyu was the one who did it, he still had to outwardly defend her.

"That's right! You falsely accused my mother without any evidence and even injured her like this. It's outrageous! That Miss Chu deserved to die. Why didn't she stay in the palace and insist on going out!"

Who does she think she is? Is she worth my mother's trouble in dealing with? You all shouldn't overestimate yourselves!

Gao Yufei spoke up in defense of the Regent's wife.

She had long disliked Chu Yan, and now that her mother had suffered an undeserved calamity because of her, how could she not be angry?

As a result, he started to speak without thinking.

But before she could finish speaking, Gao Yuanbin grabbed her chin and slapped her several times across the face.

"Mmm..."

Gao Yuanbin hit him very hard, and his mouth was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Gao Yufei's face was swollen like a pig's head, and she couldn't speak. All she could do was hold back her tears of resentment.

Then she looked at Gao Changhong with a wronged expression and sobbed, wanting Gao Changhong to make a decision for her.

But Gao Changhong didn't help her; he just said coldly, "Feifei, you need to watch your words!"

He knew his son was heartbroken and naturally wouldn't blame him anymore, especially since Gao Yufei had indeed spoken harshly first.

Seeing her daughter being beaten and herself being wronged, Mo Hanyu felt extremely aggrieved.

So, without any restraint, she yelled at Gao Yuanbin again, "You madman! I've said I didn't do it, what are you still doing?"

To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, she met Gao Yuanbin's death stare, which made him tremble.

"Brother! Calm down. This might really be a misunderstanding. I'll go down and help investigate Miss Chu's matter. The most important thing right now is to bury Miss Chu. She's already dead, and if her body is left like this, I'm afraid..."

At this moment, seeing that the conflict was about to escalate again, Gao Junning quickly stepped in front of Gao Yuanbin.

In fact, like Gao Changhong, he also felt that his mother was most likely responsible for this, which is why he spoke so kindly to Gao Yuanbin.

Upon hearing Gao Junning's reminder, Gao Yuanbin remembered what he needed to do next.

So he stopped arguing with them and left the house dejectedly.

Once outside, he picked up Chu Yan's 'corpse' and walked away without a word.

Gao Changhong didn't chase after him. He knew he must be burying someone. He just had someone follow him quietly, afraid that he might do something rash.

Gao Yuanbin took Chu Yan to a grove of blooming flowers in the suburbs, dug a pit himself, prepared a coffin, and buried Chu Yan.

After a good cry, he slowly returned to the Regent's Palace.

Upon returning to the palace, he locked himself in his room, ordered a large amount of wine, and forbade the servants from entering.

Everyone in the palace thought he was heartbroken and drowning his sorrows in alcohol, but no one knew that in the dead of night, he changed into a night outfit and went back to the place where he had buried Chu Yan during the day.

"Yan'er?"

After Gao Yuanbin dug up the grave, he opened the coffin, fed Chu Yan an antidote, and then gently called her name.

"Che Yi, have I arrived at the palace?"

A moment later, Chu Yan slowly opened her eyes.
