Chapter 1211: Chapter 1205: Was it you who did it?

She said, “She went to find Gu Youyou, and it was Gu Youyou who helped her escape.”

Yes, if they put it that way, they would believe it.

King Jin listened in silence, witnessing the Empress’s obviously rapidly aging face, and ultimately could not bear to say more. He nodded gently, indicating his agreent.

Upon learning that Lin Qianqing had run away in the middle of the night, the Ducal Residence was thrown into a rage. While sending people out to search, he rushed to the Crown Prince Residence to accuse Gu Youyou of wrongdoing.

Gu Youyou herself was utterly baffled. Just as she received the news, people from the Ducal Residence were already at her door.

Now, she had been frad by the Empress and King Jin, who had directly tossed her into the hot seat.

“This old servant pays respect to the Crown Prince and his wife!”

“You may dispense with formalities, Ducal Protector. What brings you to my residence today?”

The Ducal Protector glanced at Gu Youyou and snorted coldly, “Old n like don’t visit without a reason. Today, I’ve co to the Crown Prince Residence to ask Her Highness a question.”

Gu Youyou smiled faintly and said, “Venerable Ducal Protector, you have lived to a ripe old age, no easy feat. Out of respect for an elder, if you have any questions, please ask, and I will certainly answer.”

“Very well!” The Ducal Protector snorted coldly, “The wife of King Jin visited you a few days ago, did she not?”

“Yes, she did!” Gu Youyou did not deny it, saying, “She was poisoned, after all. She had been visiting frequently lately. This is no secret.”

“So, you helped her leave Beijing?” The Ducal Protector had long lost his teeth due to his age. When others get angry, they gnash their teeth, but with no teeth, his anger only caused his face to wrinkle into a bundle, which looked sowhat comical.

Gu Youyou kept a forced smile and replied in surprise, “Ducal Protector, what do you an by that? Why would I want her to leave Beijing?”

Even if she had been the one to send her away, he had no reasons to accuse her, and besides, she hadn’t done it at all.

At the sa ti, Gu Youyou was also genuinely puzzled. She had always known that Lin Qianqing didn’t want to stay in Prince Jin Residence, and given a reason or an opportunity, she would definitely run.

But the fact that she had really run away without any sign was truly astounding to her.

“Why? You and I both know the reason, so why pretend to be clueless?” the Ducal Protector said vehently.

But this ti he had truly wronged Gu Youyou; she really didn’t know why.

Jin Zijin glanced at Gu Youyou and said nonchalantly to the Ducal Protector, “Please stick to the matter at hand, Ducal Protector. We don’t have ti to entertain your riddles. If you are here to cause trouble, I believe you’ve co to the wrong place.”

Everyone in the royal court feared him; even the Emperor showed him a certain degree of deference. But that did not an Jin Zijin feared him.

Jin Zijin did not show him the slightest respect. He was allowed into the residence rely to see what he really wanted.

“You…” The Ducal Protector, unable to contain his anger and elderly as he was, his eyesight failing, could not discern the expressions of Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin. Yet, listening to their tone, he perceived nothing but disdain for himself.

For how many years had he grown accustod to others looking up to him? When had anyone ever spoken to him this way?

Even Zhang Cheng, who had so recent disagreents with him, dared to argue a few points, but never dared to speak to him in such a manner and tone.

This made him feel extrely uncomfortable.

“Fine… you won’t admit it, will you? Then just watch capture her and bring her back, and please do not interfere,” he said resolutely.

Jin Zijin snorted coldly, “That is your business, what does it have to do with ?”
