A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came here.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Another eunuch in her forties hurried over, breaking the subtle atmosphere, and reminded respectfully, "It's almost time, it's time to get on the seat."

Chu Yi smiled slightly, still holding Gu Yanfei's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go."

Gu Yanfei adjusted his mood in a very short time and has recovered as usual at this moment.

She also smiled, then greeted Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and others.

"Please follow me to Huagai Hall." The eunuch in green walked in front with a smile.

Not only here, but other people in the palace were also walking towards the Huagai Hall in the center of the palace, like hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

They gradually met other acquaintances, and they couldn't help but talk about the emperor's oral words, sometimes talking about Zeng Ya, sometimes talking about Li Zhaodi, sometimes talking about Li Yun's life experience, and sometimes talking about King Kang.

Almost everyone knows that Gu Yun'an has declared his name "Li Yun'an".

For those from the aristocratic families, this news was like a muffled thunder falling from the air, buzzing their ears.

For hundreds of years, these high-ranking families have the most bloodline.

Ever since, aristocratic families have been married to aristocratic families, and it is a last resort to marrying their daughter to these upstarts in the court.

Now King Kang actually wants to marry a daughter of a slave and a family to have a son.

This is already challenging the bottom line of these aristocratic families.

Before the banquet began, Chu You was stopped by Shoufu Xiao, Wang Kangyin and others in a pavilion outside the Huagai Hall. These people took turns to persuade Chu You to come.

"Prince, you must not get a marriage with Li Yun'an!"

"Prince, with Li Yun's background, how will the mother be in the world in the future and how will the public be convinced!"

"Prince, your mother's family is the Yuan clan of Yangzhou. It lasts for three hundred years. I don't know how many officials and noble bloodliness have appeared in the clan. But Li Yun's bloodline is too humble!"

"The child born to the family is also a child. Li Yun'ao is a child. In the future, she and the prince will give birth to Lin'er. This child also has the bloodline of a slave, as if he can inherit the great throne?"

"Prince, you can't just ignore the overall situation for just Li Yun'an!"

Xiao Shoufu and other officials from the aristocratic families spoke out in both soft and hard ways.

Taizu was born in a wild country, and it was no longer their wish that their aristocratic family would bend their knees to Taizu.

Will they still have to bow to a child in the future?

Just thinking about it, these aristocratic families felt heartbroken and their tone became tougher, almost coercive.

But no matter who persuaded him, Chu You didn't say anything. He turned around and begged the emperor at the Hundred Flowers Banquet to marry him and Li Yunhao as soon as possible.

Xiao Shoufu and others were extremely disappointed. King Kang was stubborn and insisted on marrying a family and having a son as the official concubine, which ruined the ranks and inferiors and defiled the bloodline of the aristocratic family.

But before they could object in public, the emperor responded readily.

So, when he returned to Beijing that day, Chu You did not return to the royal palace, so he rushed to the imperial prison in the Northern Fushi Office to pick up the people.

The Gu family was all locked up in prison. When Gu Yunhao saw Chu You, Gu Yunhao was surprised, while Gu Jian and others were surprised, as if they had seen a savior.

"Prince!"

"Prince, are you here to save us?"

In the cell, Gu Jian, Wang, Gu Xiao and others shouted excitedly one after another, and the Gu family looked at Chu You with hope.

However, Chu You didn't even give a look to the Gu family, and walked straight to Gu Yun'er and said, "Lao'er, I'm here to pick you up."

A basin of cold water was poured on Gu Jian and others in one sentence, and the flames in their eyes became dark.

The Jinyiwei immediately opened the lock and opened the door of the cell.

"Prince..." Gu Yunhao shouted emotionally, a hazy water vapor appeared in his eyes, which was so moving.

She looked thinner than when she met last time, with a haggard face, and no longer had the lust of her former spirit.

The black and blue hair was tied with only the simplest one. There was no jewelry at all, the hair was slightly messy, and the bright red dress was a little wrinkled, but it was still clean.

"Lao'er." Chu You's hot eyes lingered on Gu Yun's beautiful little face, and he wanted to engrave her in his heart.

At the moment when he saw her, his heart that he had nowhere to rest these days finally had a place to go, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

As long as Lao'er is fine, it is worth it for him to pay any price.

Chu You eagerly grabbed Gu Yun's fair little hand and held it tightly, "Let's go."

Gu Yun'an also looked at Chu You in a daze.

He also lost weight and was haggard.

He must have suffered for her.

Gu Yunhao had many questions in his heart and wanted to ask Chu You, but he thought that this was not a suitable place, so he shut up after all.

"Prince, you must save us. We are innocent. It was Lei who wronged us." Gu Jian in the next door quickly cheered up from his depressedness and told himself in his heart that since King Kang could save Gu Yunhao out, there must be a way to save them.

"Yes, we were wronged." Gu Xiao grabbed the wooden fence of the cell tightly and shouted at Chu You with red eyes, his voice as hoarse as if it had been sharpened by sand and gravel.

"Second girl, tell the prince well and you must save us..." Wang shouted excitedly, tears falling from the rain.

Her hair was scattered, her eyes were panicked, and she couldn't help herself. She really couldn't stay in this ghost place anymore. The past ten days were like an endless nightmare for her.

However, no matter how they called, Chu You didn't say a word and suddenly realized that he had never heard of it.

Gu Yun'an calmed down and softly explained to Gu Jian in the next cell: "Father, take good care of grandmother..."

"Are you going to leave?" Jinyiwei interrupted Gu Yunhao's words rudely. Even when facing the dignified King Kang, he was still imposing.

Gu Yun'an frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Chu You. The dim light cast a shadow on his face, making his facial features look deep and cold.

But his big palm was so hot that he held her hand tightly. His body temperature was so high that he only said two words: "Let's go."

He took Gu Yun's thin hand strongly and gentlely and walked out.

When the Jinyiwei, who was carrying the lantern, left with Chu You and Gu Yunhao, the lights also disappeared, and the surroundings became darker and darker, and the darkness swallowed them little by little.

Darkness brings uneasiness, fear and anxiety.

Looking at Chu You's back as he was gradually moving away, Gu Jian suddenly felt that the other party would never look back, and his heart was pounding and out of control.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at Old Lady Gu in the cell opposite with sweat, and said in panic: "Mother, what if..."

What if even King Kang can’t save the Gu family, what should they do?

Will their whole family beheaded or exiled for three thousand miles?

Old Mrs. Gu looked like she was aged in her teens, and her temples were covered with silver threads.

She held the Buddhist beads in her hand hard, as if comforting her son, and as if comforting herself, and said in a deep voice: "Er Yatou is a conscientious child. If King Kang can save her, she will also let King Kang save us."

When Gu Jian, Wang and others heard this, hope ignited in their dark and gray eyes.

He repeatedly told himself: That's right, Gu Yunhao will definitely ask King Kang to save them, they are her family members. Princess Kang, if the whole family is punished, what is her face? What is King Kang's face!

This is the last straw that supports them.

The lights went away, and the prison became dark again, silent, with only low sobs sounding as if nothing had happened.

Gu Yun'an followed Chu You silently and left the Zhao Prison, left the Beizhen Fusi until she got on the carriage of the royal palace. She still felt a little unreal.

The carriage slowly moved forward, and the sound of wheels echoed around, and there were only Chu You and Gu Yun'an in the carriage.

Chu You held Gu Yun'an tightly in her arms and let her head snuggle against her chest.

The two of them are like travelers who have been walking alone for a long time. When they are exhausted, they finally meet each other, keep warm and snuggle with each other.

After the carriage turned around, the carriage shook slightly.

"Prince, will the emperor let me go?" Gu Yun'an raised his head from his arms, his eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of tremolo in his voice, and one hand subconsciously grabbed his clothes.

Even if she didn't ask, she knew in her heart that King Kang would have paid a huge price for her to be out of the imperial prison.

She was both moved and felt sorry for his efforts for her.

Chu You bowed his head slightly and kissed her gently. The scorching breath blew on her ears. The iron arm shackled her into his arms even harder. The empty heart felt warm again and filled again.

"Your, don't worry about anything, our wedding date will be three days later."

"You will be Princess Kang."

"No one will laugh at you."

His last sentence was very light, almost whispering, almost swearing.

Gu Yun'an was confused when he heard this, and was puzzled by what Chu You meant.

However, she quickly understood.

Chu You did not send her back to Gu's house in Luwei Hutong, but sent her to the door of a small house in Tongluo Hutong in the west of the city.

There are neither plaques nor lanterns in this house, nor do you know which family it is.

The carriage quietly stopped at the door of the house for nearly a cup of tea, and the door behind the carriage was pushed open from inside.

Gu Yunhao had a new big red cloak on her body. She was personally helped off the carriage by Chu You. She described her as if she was in a state of dismay and almost sprained her ankle when she landed on the ground.

Fortunately, Chu You supported her in time.
