Zi Yue sensed something was wrong and wanted to let go. But how could Gu Qiu Yan give her that chance! "Splash! Splash!" Two sounds of different heights could be heard as they fell into the water.
Almost as soon as he entered the water, Gu Qiu Yan seemed to have become a completely different person. The whip coiled around his hand like a nimble fish. In a matter of moments, he had tied up Princess Zi Yue, and holding onto the end of the whip, he pulled her into the deep water.
'Stupid girl, did you think that just because you whipped her, you're just going to let it pass? '
A group of servants of different heights shouted for help from the shore. Gu Qiu Yan completely ignored them. Even Qing Feng who was on the shore was sweating profusely as he sent his subordinates to report this matter.
Although Prince said that he didn't need to care about her life and death, he couldn't really pinpoint it! Secretly, he felt that the Prince probably didn't want this woman to play him out like that either.
When the guards came, they would set the boat into the water and search for someone.
Gu Qiu Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, fainting on the spot. Of course, she did not forget to untie the rope on Zi Yue's body before this.
When the guards brought the two on board, the news had already spread to the inner and outer court. Kaiser and Empress even brought people over in a hurry. Seeing his precious daughter turned into this, the Kaiser became so angry!
He then looked at Gu Qiu Yan who was also lying down beside him, and a look of contemplation swept past her eyes. This woman actually had the ability to make Zi Yue become like this, is she really an idiot?
Princess Zi Yue's life or death was uncertain, so those servants naturally did not dare to lie. Saying all that had happened, within his words, he would naturally push all the blame onto Gu Qiu Yan. Since she was just a fool, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything.
The Kaiser was furious: Royal Consort Feng is suspected of plotting to murder Princess Zi Yue, someone send her to prison!
"Your Majesty, please wait!" From the start, the Queen who had been silent the entire time spoke, "This girl is Palace of the Phoenix's mistress after all. Now that the life and death of Phoenix King is unknown, if we throw her into prison, wouldn't that end Palace of the Phoenix's life? I'm afraid that the old official in the imperial court would be disappointed by what the emperor has done. "
In all these years, there were very few times that the empress would go against him, but every time she went against him, it was always because of the Palace of the Phoenix.
He paused, "Even as a Royal Consort Feng, you must not waste your life."
The empress bowed deeply to him. "Your majesty! The truth of the matter had yet to be investigated. What if this group of servants were to plot against him? Zi Yue and Royal Consort Feng are both masters, how can their fates be dictated by the words of a few servants? "
"Empress …"
"Your Majesty, please observe carefully."
The empress looked like she didn't want to say much, but in the end, the emperor actually compromised. When they saw this point, a different feeling arose in their hearts.
All these years, everyone had been saying that the empress was favored by the Six Palaces. This wasn't unreasonable. Judging from his current reaction, it was likely that those people in the palace who were ready to make a move would once again have to pay attention to this matter.
"Someone come!" Take these crafty servants away and deal with them. " The empress's few words brought an end to this matter.
In this way, the Emperor actually acquiesced. He had only instructed someone to bring Princess Zi Yue down there and serve his properly while he sent his back to Palace of the Phoenix.
