"Miss, we're here."

"En!"

It was said that the empress dowager and the emperor had been unwilling to part with Princess Anping too far away in the past. The emperor had even personally decided on the location of the estate so that it would be convenient for Princess Anping to return to the palace. However, who would've thought that things would go against their wishes …

"Hiss …" With the support of her wife, Gu Qingyi parted the curtain and was about to get out of the carriage. It was unknown whether that woman was truly careless or if she was doing it on purpose, but the moment Gu Qingyi's feet touched the ground, before she could even stand properly, that woman suddenly released her grip.

Fortunately, Gu Yinian had dismounted long ago and supported her in time.

Even so, Gu Qingyi still felt a stinging pain on her feet.

"Be careful." Gu Yinian let go of her and, at the same time, warned her with an expressionless face without even looking at her, "Inside the inner palace, be careful in everything. If something goes wrong, even I will have to protect you."

"En!" Resisting the pain in her ankle with great difficulty, Gu Qingyi lowered her head and lightly nodded. She looked just like an unhappy child who had just been reprimanded. In fact, she was trying to hide the killing intent in her eyes, was actually killing intent … This was the first time a murderous intent rose in her heart …

Because all these years, even Feng Yue was in the hands of the entire Duke Gu Palace, and she had just come back, there was not a single person by her side who could be of use.

Normally, she would look for mama or Lil 'Ye. Lil' Ye was the mama's granddaughter. If both of them were not here, she would rather do it herself than fake her. It was just that because he was going to the palace today, he couldn't possibly not have a single person by his side. These people had even been beaten by the mama; she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Even without asking, he knew that this had something to do with Lian Feng Yue.

Just now, she clearly felt that the mama had ruthlessly pushed her away the moment she let go. If it weren't for her father's timely support, she probably wouldn't have been as simple as gently twisting her foot.

He really didn't succeed in one move, then another. He really didn't expect them to not want him to enter the palace.

However …

Since they didn't want him to enter the palace, then he must enter.

"Daddy, it's getting late. Let's go." Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingyi pursed her lips and a bright smile appeared on her face. She raised her small head and looked at Gu Yan Nian innocently, "I'm afraid Grandmother and Uncle are waiting for me."

"You …" Gu Yan Nian swept a glance at Gu Qingyi, and was about to say something. In the end, he lightly sighed, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes: "Un, let's go! It's not good to fail. "

"En!" Gu Qingyi endured the pain with a bright smile on her face, pretending that nothing had happened as she walked forward step by step. However, with every step she took, her feet would feel pain like they were being pricked by needles.

It seemed like he really had been sprained, but luckily, he didn't hurt his bones.

Smile, be sure to keep smiling.

Gritting her teeth, Gu Qingyi kept telling herself in her heart that if they wanted to see her cry, she had to laugh. Furthermore, she had to laugh very happily.

"Slow down, it doesn't matter."

When his gaze fell on the small, upright figure, Gu Yan Nian quickly took two steps forward and held onto Gu Qingyi's small hand, exhorting her in a voice that only the two of them could hear. He then raised his voice: "This is your first time in the palace, following father and making a mistake."

"En!"

Her large hands were warm, and as she held her own hands, she had nearly lost half of her weight. Her steps were light as she nodded her head vigorously, trying her best not to let her tears fall.
