Gao Manor
Gao Qi is glaring at Gao Shen who is walking anxiously in front of him. "Stop. You are not helping at all." He finally snapped at his brother that is more worried than him.
They are currently in his room with Mu Hongqi, there nephew thinking of ways to deal with the family's current predicant.
"Father and Li Mao are with her." Gao Qi stated seriously. Even though his face is not showing any emotion, it does not an that is really the case. The emperor forbade him to interfere as a minister.
A day before, the Ming family's current master had requested the audience to the Emperor accusing Wei Jiayi of killing his daughter because of Gao Lan i's request.
As a father, he was furious so he imdiately stood up defend his daughter, which earns the Emperor's displeasure. Since he is a minister, it is expected that his decision will be fair regardless of who is involved.
Yes, he should be fair, but before he beca a minister, he is a father first! Gao Qi will not listen to anyone who slanders his daughter with sothing that just impossible!
For Gao Qi, if serving the empire will remove his chance or capability to defend his daughter or family, might as well forget about it.
The sad part though, if he lost his position as minister, and Wei Jiayi changed his mind of marrying Gao Lan i, then he needs to depend on his father Gao Tsu's connection to continue protecting the Gao household.
It is not entirely a bad thing but his pride as a father, husband and a man will be affected.
A mont later, while the Emperor is still thinking things through, Concubine Li arrived as well directly accusing his daughter of sorcery, with a claim of cursing to get Chen Yun Ming to marry Gao Lan i.
Though magic is part of cultivation, sorcery on any Domain is not acceptable as it involves dark magic that makes use of evil curses and rituals.
Gao Lan i using sorcery is another despicable accusation that he cannot accept. Probably if sorcery is sothing his daughter is really capable of, he will be the first one to encourage her to cast immortal maggots to the concubine who had caused scars on Gao Lan i's face.
At that ti, he was silent because he does not have evidence to prove that Li Hua is really involved to it. Now the petty concubine has guts to accuse of Gao Lan i of sothing that she can never do!
The accusation from the Ming family and second prince concubine though are without evidence, it does not an though that there is no way for them to find faults on Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan i.
"Master!" Gao Chu shriek after arriving at Gao Qi's courtyard while she tries to catch her breath, "The young miss is summoned to the palace!" she added frantically still breathless from running.
Though she was not able to confirm it herself, Gao Chu imdiately decided that went back to the Gao Manor as soon as the news reached her ears.
"What?!" Gao Shen exclaid, give it to his father to be useless. How can Gao Lan i go to the palace if Gao Tsu is supposed to be with her?
Gao Qi stood up, his feast clenching due to frustration as he went out of the Gao Manor to see his family in the palace. Gao Shen, Gao Chu, and even Xiao Jun followed him.
So of the protectors from Zicuy Regi also ca along with them. Even Mu Hongqi, Gao Lan i's cousin joined as well.
If the emperor ever tried to choose sides and unfairly issued a degree to Gao Lan i, he will forget all the hard work that he did for the empire. He will never serve an unjust emperor!
