The seventh princess was so angry that she blushed and raised her hand to make a move, but Gu Zhao grabbed her wrist.
"Don't act like a princess in front of me. This general is a first-class general. How dare you, a sinner, commit such a crime!" After saying that, he threw her to the ground.
The seventh princess was thrown to the ground. Listening to Gu Zhao's words, she felt very humiliated and felt extremely sour.
She just fell in love with Gu Zhao, was she wrong?
Why would he do this to himself?
The seventh princess really didn't understand. She thought that Gu Zhao was resentful that she was too proud when she first met him, humiliated him, and made him hold a grudge.
Didn't she make up for it?
Still can't satisfy him?
The seventh princess closed her eyes and didn't want to think about it anymore. She didn't get what she asked for, so she didn't ask anymore. She raised her eyes and looked at him, "Take me to see the emperor brother!"
Gu Zhao withdrew his gaze coldly and said to the people around him, "Go and send a message. If the emperor summons you, you can bring him in."
The seventh princess frowned when she heard this. Why are she still procrastinating? Gu Zhao is really difficult to deal with.
She stood up immediately, "I told you to take me in!"
Gu Zhao ignored it. His duty was to guard the gate and not allow any danger to approach. As for the seventh princess, he was unwilling to interact with her for a moment longer.
The person who went in to communicate came out and said, "General, the emperor asked his subordinates to bring the princess in for questioning."
Gu Zhao hummed and motioned for someone to take her inside.
The seventh princess gritted her teeth and looked carefully at Helian Yucheng's original position. He was gone. He must have gone into action.
If Gu Zhao doesn't leave, this matter will be difficult to handle.
The seventh princess looked at Gu Zhao and stepped forward again. This act of intimacy made Gu Zhao frown. He took two steps back, and then she took two steps closer. Her frantic testing of his bottom line made Gu Zhao lose all his patience.
Gu Zhao was forced to retreat to the corner of the room. Finally, he raised his hand and strangled her neck. "That's enough. If you go crazy again, believe it or not, I will really kill you."
"How dare you? Even if I am demoted, I am still of royal blood. If you really want to kill me, you general, don't do it either." The seventh princess said proudly.
Even if she expected that he would not be willing to give up this high position, she dared to test him so wildly.
How can a person of humble origin be willing to return to the quagmire once he flies to a branch?
Gu Zhao is indeed reluctant to give up his high position, but his pursuit of a high position is not entirely due to his love of power.
When he first took part in the competition, he had no merit other than martial arts and wanted to find a job just to make ends meet.
If the Seventh Princess hadn't taken a liking to him, he wouldn't have obeyed, and things would have gotten ugly, and he wouldn't have been sent to the city gate as a guard by the late emperor.
But in fact, he is not that sad. At least he has a job in the capital and can support his family.
But even so, the seventh princess would humiliate herself many times.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was chosen to serve as a royal servant. At that time, he had no intention of getting a high position.
But he was made things difficult by the princess, and was rescued by the empress. Later he learned that the empress was the one he had been looking for when he was young. There were too many regrets in the world, and he knew it was irreversible.
Seeing how hard she was struggling to survive in the harem, he had the willpower to perform meritorious service, gain power, control the military power, and prepare for a rainy day. When she needed him in the future, he could be her confidence.
Although Gu Zhao knew that she might not know his feelings, let alone be grateful, he did not regret it.
If she hadn't saved him in the first place, his life would have ended at the age of sixteen.
The Seventh Princess tried to destroy his belief, so his eyes suddenly burst with anger and he tightened his strength.
The seventh princess's breathing was blocked in an instant, and she slapped his hand hard, but he never let go, but tightened it more and more. The seventh princess couldn't breathe, struggled hard, and began to be afraid.
The men next to Gu Zhao quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "General, the Emperor is waiting to be summoned. Don't be impulsive."
Gu Zhao had a cold face, and threw the seventh princess away indifferently, watching her cough violently and gasp for air.
"This time is just a warning. Let me tell you, don't provoke me again in the future. You are no longer the aloof princess, and I am no longer a servant you can humiliate at will." Gu Zhao said coldly.
After not seeing each other for a while, the seventh princess saw a strong intimidation in Gu Zhao. He was really not the stubborn and bully little servant who knelt in front of her.
"Bring it in." Gu Zhao said coldly.
The seventh princess shrank and did not dare to reply.
She was just that close to actually dying.
Gu Zhao would really kill her.
The emperor was sitting on the throne at the moment, watching the princess being brought up. Her face was filled with tears and there was still a trace of fear. Seeing the emperor, she quickly knelt down and straightened her body.
"Brother Emperor, I know Jianing was wrong. Please forgive Jianing. I don't ask for the restoration of the title of princess. I just ask the emperor not to let Jianing stay in the imperial mausoleum."
The emperor half-squinted his eyes and looked at his sister.
When she was dragged out before, she refused to give in and even blamed herself for going too far.
It seems that she has learned to compromise after suffering a lot in the imperial mausoleum.
"If you sincerely regret, you can send a letter to the emperor in the imperial mausoleum. Why did you flee? And why are you here?" The emperor looked at her coldly.
"I wrote, but those slaves bullied me. They didn't allow me to deliver the letter, so I fled here regardless of the charges. Brother Emperor, please take it from the fact that we grew up together and that I saved you once. For your sake, don’t let me go back. My mother-in-law is getting old, and I just want to stay with her and fulfill my filial piety, and I will never do it again.”
The Seventh Princess spoke sincerely, naturally because she was frightened by Gu Zhao just now. If she hadn't been pinched by Gu Zhao just now, she might not have been able to perform so sincerely.
The emperor looked at her carefully, thinking about her pleading in his heart.
It's not impossible to let her go, but it's just too much that she colluded with the remnants of the vassal country to assassinate her.
"Brother, I really know I was wrong." The seventh princess sobbed again.
"For the sake of brother-sister love, I will forgive you once, but from now on, you can only serve Concubine Chen as a commoner. In this way, I can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person. If you do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless. "The emperor said at the end with a slight warning.
The seventh princess looked overjoyed after hearing this.
As long as the crime is pardoned, everything is fine.
However, at this time, Jin Xin walked to another window and saw a sneaky figure downstairs, hiding between the walls, trying to get closer.
But this restaurant is protected and basically no one can come in, but the security behind it is not that strict.
Jin Xin saw this figure with just a casual glance. She frowned and looked up and down, then quickly stepped back.
The figure of this man resembled that of the Tartar.
"Caihong, go tell General Gu and ask him to come up." Jin Xin whispered.
The city has been completely surrounded and there is no way to get out. This person who stayed in the city for so long must be looking for an opportunity to escape.
If he dared to hijack him once, he would definitely want to do it a second time.
