The deceased were already dead. The most important thing was to help his son.

The crown prince supported Gu Sikong into the front hall. Right now, the hall had already been converted into a spirit hall, and in the middle of the hall was a brand-new coffin, with a white banner standing upright.

Nan Gong Ye Xuan took the handkerchief that the servant handed to him and wiped off the rain on his body. Looking around, he saw a few servant girls kneeling in the hall crying, but they did not see Zhang Ge's figure.

Gu Changge had a deep relationship with her brother Gu Yinfeng. How could she endure such a thing?

But Gu Sikong was already too sad to ask, so he went to the spirit hall to burn incense in the name of his old friend, and then waved his hand to draw a couplet, and then left.

After exiting the mourning hall, Nan Gong Ye Xuan pulled a crying servant boy and asked: There was a sneak attack last night, was your young miss hurt?

In reply to the crown prince, the young miss only suffered some superficial wounds. More importantly, the young miss had already been frightened to the point of losing her looks.

As the young servant spoke, he began to wail again. He felt even more heartbroken than if his wife had died.

Nan Gong Ye Xuan patted his shoulder to signal him not to be overly upset: Where is your young miss, bring me to see her.

This... The attendant was a little hesitant. How could outsiders go to the young mistress' room?

I'm here. A cold voice came from the side. Nan Gong Ye Xuan turned his head and met Gu Changge's black eyes.

She was dressed in a white dress as she stood on the porch. Her black hair was as black as ink as it draped over her shoulders. The torrential rain splattered on her body, making her look like a tottering pear flower in the rain.

Pale, fragile, standing against the wind.

A pair of big hands embraced Chang Ge over. Bai Ze looked at Nangong Ye Xuan warily. They were both men, how could he not see through this person's playfulness?

Nan Gong Ye Xuan cupped his fists and greeted Bai Ze and Chang Ge using the rules of the martial arts world.

I heard in the palace that my father ordered me to come to offer my condolences.

Chang Ge nodded. His expression was too calm, a calmness beyond imagination, as if the one who died was just an insignificant person, neither angry nor happy, neither sad nor painful.

Bai Ze kissed her hair and said softly: "You're still injured, go rest in your room first."

I'm going to see my brother. After she finished speaking, she walked towards the mourning hall. Bai Ze's tall and big figure followed her.

Chang Ge stood in front of the coffin for a long time, his fingers caressing the coffin for a while, before he turned to look at Nan Gong Ye Xuan who was at the door. When the latter saw him looking at his, he immediately turned his attention back, afraid that he would miss a glimpse of her.

One after another, people came to pay their respects, and the Gu Mansion removed the lintel at the entrance to show that they could enter the mansion to offer their condolences, regardless of whether they were of high status or low status.

When there were more people, she would inevitably have to say a few words to Chang Ge. She seemed to be afraid of the stage, but also didn't want to chat with these people. After that, she followed Bai Ze into the inner hall. On the other hand, Nan Gong Ye Xuan felt that the look in Chang Ge's eyes before he left allowed him to follow along and enter the inner hall as well.

Gu Changge sat on the stool, and looked ahead in a daze. Bai Ze stood by her side, vigilantly staring at Nan Gong Ye Xuan: "What are you doing here?

Nan Gong Ye Xuan ignored him and went forward to squat in front of Chang Ge. Staring at her eyes, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, because he saw that those eyes were no longer pure.

The Crown Prince said, "I won't let those people go …"

Chang Ge sneered, "Do you really think that we were ambushed?"

Nan Gong Ye Xuan had a bad feeling about this: Who is it?

Her long eyelashes flickered, and a tear fell on her knee.

How is this possible?

but very quickly, he seemed to have understood once more: Could it be because of the Haoyue Peak from last time, that they couldn't as well …

There was mockery in Chang Ge's words, "Why can't I, why can't I, what can't they do? If you want to say that I am a demon, then I am a demon. I can kill whoever I want to."

Bai Ze also mocked, "As long as you call it proper and upright, it's better if you don't call it imposing and upright, and instead don't call it imposing and arrogant. Wouldn't it be better to call it a beast instead?"

Nan Gong Ye Xuan did not say anything, quietly squatted in front of Chang Ge, and felt guilty.

When he was at the Haoyue Peak, he was the first one to help Zhang Ge. She was killed in the capital, and he did not manage to help her.

But when he looked at those clear and cold eyes, he didn't have the courage.

Do you still want to marry me to become your Crown Princess?

The calm question stirred up ripples on the two people's faces. Bai Ze grabbed her shoulders and shouted angrily: Stinking girl, did your brain get destroyed?

However, Nan Gong Ye Xuan was ecstatic, he nodded his head impatiently: I wish you to live a glorious life, and live together until the end of your life.

Alright, I'll promise you that. But before that, I'll make you destroy all your Immortal Cultivation Sect in the mortal world!

She looked at him as she spoke, and saw that his expression had changed from one of delight to embarrassment, and then to reluctance, and a little reproach for her little temper.

If you can't do it, then I will do it! I will make them all accompany my brother in death!

Even the calmest sentence that came out of Gu Changge's mouth could not help but make people shiver. Nangong Ye Xuan wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.

I am the current dynasty's crown prince, the future Emperor, and am in charge of all living things in the mortal world. How can I destroy Immortal Cultivation Sect?

With these words, he was able to make his stand clear. Between a river and a beautiful woman, this person was still considered to be wise.

Gu Changge continued: You once said that you would fulfill a wish of mine, but now that I have such a wish, it's not that you can't do it, but rather, you're unwilling to do it.

She was right, so other than feeling ashamed, Nangong Ye Xuan did not want to refute her.

However, Bai Ze said: "You heard it, whatever that girl said about marrying you was just scaring you, she is trying to make you give up, and since you can't give her what she wants, then don't think too much!"

Nan Gong Ye Xuan was speechless, he knew what was going on even without him saying.

He did not know how he had left the Gu household. He only knew that after Gu Yinfeng's death, three days had passed in the heavy rain in the capital. During these three days, the people who went to pay their respects to the Prime Minister had practically stepped on the doorstep of the Residence of Prime Minister.

They even heard that the woman who was betrothed to Gu Yinfeng had accompanied him to his grave after coming into contact with the coffin to mourn.

Recently, Gu Yinfeng had been the most talked about in the streets of the capital, as well as that pure and noble daughter who had been buried as a daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

Gu Yinfeng seemed to have some sort of power. His death had brought along not only the smiles on his family's face, but also the laughter and jubilation of the entire capital.

In those inns and restaurants, the teahouses and theaters were all tainted with a kind of grief. If it wasn't for the fact that they were under the Emperor, it was likely that they would have all closed their businesses.
