301 Cared for Her More Than a Princess (1/2)

”Just let it be, Jiu, let’s not recall those old stories, as they’ve already passed. After six months, you’ll need to practice kungfu nicely to go through that Dark Forest. Shall I help you get a master? I know of a good kungfu master in the city, I can invite him…”

”No!” Gu Xijiu chimed in, ”I know my kungfu ability and I also know how to practice it. So, I don’t have to trouble you, general. Please go back.”

Gu Xietian had no choice but to go back.

When he got back to his yard, he recalled that he actually wanted to talk about something else but had forgotten after being scolded.

He actually wanted to ask for Gu Xijiu’s favor to intercede with the emperor for the sake of Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing.

After all, Gu Xijiu was no longer the same. The emperor valued her very much and cared for her more than a princess by gifting her many things; he even called her into the palace to ask about her recent progress and the like.

From the degree of favor from the emperor, she probably could even convince the emperor to be more lenient with Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing in prison.

As Rong Yan was a prince, the son of the emperor, His Majesty would try to exempt him from death.

Nonetheless, Gu Tianqing was just a daughter of the general. After such incident, perhaps the emperor would think that she was the person who trapped his son, Rong Yan, hence, making her a scapegoat in the case of Count Le Hua, to provide an explanation for Duke Lu…

These days, Gu Xietian had been working to save his daughter but to no avail. Hopelessly, he thought of Gu Xijiu…

He could not contain himself and decided to go back to Gu Xijiu’s yard.
