Chapter 407 Did he profit or did I?

"Hiss..."

Just as Xiao Ye was inwardly lamenting the loss, the horse let out another long and painful neigh, and then, as if it had identified its enemy, charged toward Gao Junning once again.

"It's insane! The horse has really gone mad!"

"Everyone, protect the young master! The horse is going to kill someone!"

"Young master, be careful!"

......

The scene was chaotic. Gao Junning saw with horror that Ma was running towards him with bloodshot eyes. He was terrified and quickly got up and ran away.

However, he couldn't resist the mad horse. Just a short while after he stood up, he was kicked away by the horse's front hoof.

"puff!"

"Young Master!"

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and at that moment the horse neighed happily, as if it had avenged itself.

At this moment, a large group of guards with swords rushed to the palace gate and shot several arrows at the horse from a distance, finally subduing the mad horse.

"Hey, that's more like it."

Xiao Ye, drawn back by the sight of this final outcome, left satisfied.

"What exactly happened?"

After returning to the palace, Su Liluo asked Xiao Ye what had happened.

"It's nothing. I just taught that kid a lesson. He shouldn't be going to the palace again anytime soon."

"?"

Su Lilu looked puzzled, and then Xiao Ye told her in detail what had happened at the palace gate.

at the same time.

Gao Junning was sent back to the Regent's Palace unconscious. After being diagnosed by the imperial physician, he was found to have survived, but his internal organs were damaged and he would not recover for at least one or two months.

"Who did this? Investigate this thoroughly!"

Gao Changhong was furious and immediately ordered his men to investigate.

His eldest son was in a terrible state of despair, which was giving him a headache, and now his second son had encountered such a thing. How could he not be irritable and furious?

However, after a day of investigation, no results were found, and everything appeared normal.

In the end, Gao Changhong could only punish the stable workers by beating them up and then kicking them all out, replacing them with a new batch of stable workers.

"Have you found all the women we asked you to look for?"

After dealing with Gao Junning's troubles, Gao Changhong thought of Gao Yuanbin again and asked his subordinates about the results of their search for a woman who resembled Chu Yan.

"Your Highness, we've found a few that look similar. Why don't you take a look?"

The butler beside him spoke cautiously.

Because the people of the Northern Desert and the people of the Great Liang Dynasty differ in temperament, physique and appearance, it is not easy to find a woman in the Northern Desert who resembles Chu Yan.

Chu Yan is a woman from the Great Liang Dynasty. She is petite and delicate with beautiful and delicate features, while the women from the Northern Desert are taller with more prominent noses and a slightly exotic look.

The housekeeper and his colleagues searched for a long time before finding a few people who resembled Chu Yan.

Gao Changhong frowned slightly as he looked at the woman standing in front of him.

Some of them had similar builds but different faces, while others had similar faces but were taller.

Finally, after looking around, he managed to find a woman who resembled Chu Yan by about 60%.

"Alright, that's her. Let's send her to the eldest young master's room to try her out first, and dress her up like Miss Chu usually does!"

Gao Changhong rubbed his forehead and gave an irritated order.

*

After being fussed over by the servants, the woman was dressed in the light yellow embroidered lotus-patterned dress that Chu Yan usually wore, with her hair styled in a single long braid and adorned with a jade butterfly hairpin. Her makeup was fresh and elegant.

From a distance, after all this fuss, she looked more like Chu Yan than six parts.

"Oh dear, when I first came in, I really thought it was Miss Chu who had come back to life! She looks just like her, and with this makeover, she looks even more like her. If the young master is in a good mood and favors you later, don't forget about us, Miss!"

An old woman pushed open the door and came in. When she saw the woman, her face lit up with excitement.

"Thank you for your kind words, Granny. May I go see the young master now? What kind of person is he?"

The woman lowered her head shyly, then asked bashfully.

She was originally just the daughter of a tea merchant outside the city, but when she was suddenly summoned by the regent's men, she was extremely uneasy.

Later, she learned that the reason the manor had summoned her was to comfort him, because she resembled the manor's beloved.

She saw that the regent was middle-aged and handsome, and thought that the regent's son must be quite good as well.

She's still a virgin, and she doesn't want to serve an ugly man!

"Don't worry, the young master is very handsome. Serving him is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes. But whether you can win his favor depends on your abilities. Our young master is quite the ladies' man!"

"A romantic?"

The woman asked in confusion.

How devoted can one be?

Throughout history, haven't men always had multiple wives and concubines? Are there really men who are truly passionate lovers?

Even her tea merchant father had several concubines in his backyard. At most, he would favor one concubine more, but he was far from being a romantic.

Therefore, the woman was quite curious about this.

The old nanny sighed enviously, "Yes, ever since Miss Chu died, the young master has been like a lost soul, going to her room every day to remember her, and never glancing at other women."

"Yeah?"

A hint of resentment flashed in the woman's eyes.

She's now quite interested in this young master and wants to see what kind of man he is.

She has always felt that she is good-looking and that many men around her like her, so she is quite confident in herself.

Soon, the old nanny led the woman to Gao Yuanbin's courtyard.

"Young Master, the Prince has ordered me to deliver an acquaintance to you."

The old nanny first respectfully knocked on Gao Yuanbin's door and then shouted from outside.

acquaintance?

Gao Yuanbin, who was reading a book inside the room, frowned upon hearing this. What on earth was Gao Changhong up to?

Out of curiosity, he took a sip from the wine jug on the table, then, clutching the jug, pretended to be drunk and staggered to the door.

Squeak.

The door suddenly opened.

When the woman saw Gao Yuanbin's handsome and stern face and tall, slender figure, her face flushed red instantly.

That's so cool!

She had never seen such a handsome man before!

Today, she's the one who's getting a good deal—he's the one who's profiting, and she's the one who's getting a good deal!

Moreover, he is the son of the regent. If I become his woman, wouldn't I be rising to a higher social status?

The woman was thrilled by this thought and secretly resolved to use all her skills to win the man's favor today.

"This is... Yan'er?"

As the woman screamed inwardly, Gao Yuanbin also noticed her at a glance.

The woman's attire was so familiar that he recognized her at a glance and quickly realized that Gao Changhong was trying to find a body double for him.

That's why he deliberately called out Yan'er's name.
