Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043

Zheng Tianwu was annoyed, but he did not show any emotion on his face.

“Your Highness, please calm down. I apologize to you on Gong’er’s behalf. No matter what Gong’er did, he is still young and insensible. Could you please forgive him this time?” Zheng Tianwu smiled brightly.

“I am one year younger than him, you want me to forgive him because he is young and ignorant? Marquis Zheng, you have actually thought that Young Marquis Zheng is younger than me!

“Yiyi, let’s go, don’t be bothered about him.” You Lan sneered sarcastically.

Gu Yiyi turned her head sideways to glance at Zheng Tianwu, her lips curved into a disdainful sneer.

Seeing the disdain in her eyes, Zheng Tianwu exploded with anger. He narrowed his eyes that were full of murderous intent.

“This lady must be the Her Highness’s new playmate that the guard has mentioned. Pfft! She is nothing. She looks stunning but both her strength and talent are inferior. The young princess is a lady. Hence, this lady’s stunning face is useless. All I want to know is why the young princess turned her back on Gong’er.”

After leaving together with You Lan, Gu Yiyi did not go back to her chamber. Instead, she took a stroll in the back garden. She had never felt so constrained before this. This palace was like a cage and she was like a canary that was not capable of getting out of the cage.

“Maiden Gu.” Gu Yiyi’s face darkened. Someone blocked Gu Yiyi’s way. She looked up at the man who stood before her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘How does this fellow know my name?’

“What?” Gu Yiyi asked indignantly.

“Maiden Gu, Her Highness, Princess You Lan is still young and gullible. Hence, I must give you some advice—the sower of discord will face calamity.” Zheng Tianwu forced a smile.

Stunned, Gu Yiyi did not get Zheng Tianwu. He had actually said that Gu Yiyi was the sower of discord? What had she done?

Well, did Zheng Tianwu mean that Gu Yiyi had sown discord between the eldest prince and You Lan? All she wanted was to leave the palace. She had never done anything to both of them.

“You...what do you mean?”

“Maiden Gu knows it very well. I have no idea what my son—Zheng Gong has done to offend you so much so that you want to separate Gong’er and You Lan.” Zheng Tianwu’s smile faded slightly.

“Zheng Gong? Who is that?” Dumbfounded, Gu Yiyi had not regained her senses.

Hearing this, Zheng Tianwu could no longer hold back his anger.

“Maiden Gu, there is no one in Tianyue Kingdom who does not know who my son is. This is such a witless lie. Don’t you ever think that you could do whatever you want with the eldest prince behind my back! You can never be the eldest princess consort. You would only be an insignificant concubine. After some time, he will get bored of you. Do you really want to go against me now? Have you ever thought of your future?”

Gu Yiyi stared at Zheng Tianwu, disdain trickling out of her eyes as empathy took its place.

‘It turns out that Zheng Tianwu has a screw loose.’ Gu Yiyi would not blame him for the things that he had done as her father told her not to reason with a fool.

Naturally, if Gu Shi knew what Gu Yiyi was thinking right now, he would have cried his heart out—what Gu Shi said did not fit in the current situation.

Gu Yiyi merely heaved a sigh and shook her head. Then, she turned to walk past Zheng Tianwu.

“Maiden Gu, I will give you a piece of Grade-5 spirit herb, please stay away from Her Highness, Princess You Lan.” Zheng Tianwu reached out in an attempt to stop Gu Yiyi.
