The female supporting role in Quick Wear fell in love at first sight again

Chapter 176 Eldest Princess 13

Murong Fu had to admit that what Li Qingshu said made some sense. The Murong family was now the only dominant family, and Gao Yang had long been dissatisfied with this, but he had no one he could trust.

But as soon as Gao Yan gets married, he will delegate power, and the first thing he will do is to take action against the Murong family.

Although Gao Yang was a tyrant, the emperor would not allow others to sleep soundly on his bed.

The more Murong Fu thought about it, the more horrified he felt. Li Qingshu, a spy for the second prince, actually knew so much about the affairs of the court. This man was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Who are you?"

Li Qingshu took a few steps back, and his originally gentle and elegant face immediately became cold and ruthless. His eyes, which were as gentle as water, now looked cold and distant.

"General, you're joking. I'm sure you already know Qingshu's identity. It's pointless for you to doubt my identity. Qingshu will take his leave."

A-Bi worked quickly and had finished Taoyao's makeup in less than an hour.

When Tao Yao arrived, the front hall was already crowded with people. Gao Yang was sitting on the dragon throne, and two maids were feeding him wine, not with their hands, but with other parts of their bodies.

Tao Yao could see these eye-catching scenes every time she came to the front hall. She was immune to it. If Gao Yang didn't destroy the country, who would? He was addicted to wine and sex all day long, and these things were on his mind every day.

When Gao Yang saw her coming, he immediately waved his hand and asked the two maids to leave. He still had principles, although they were relatively low and only applied to Gao Yan.

"My son, come and sit next to your father. How did you suddenly come to your senses? I reminded you several times before, but you didn't want to choose a son-in-law. When you sent someone to inform me last night, I thought you were playing tricks on me again."

Tao Yao naturally didn't really want to choose a son-in-law. She just wanted to choose an ally for herself. Originally, she wanted to use Murong Fu, but Murong Fu would most likely not form an alliance with her. Murong Fu was too autocratic and overbearing. He would never allow anyone to share power with him.

"Father, I am already nineteen years old. Ordinary women would marry after reaching the age of 15. I am already an old maid. I am just thinking about finding a good husband to help you share your worries and solve your problems."

Gao Yang touched her hair and looked at her with both heartache and love. His Yan'er had really grown up and now she would think about him.

"Yan'er, father doesn't like you to put yourself in a difficult position. You are the apple of his eye. If you don't like it, don't force yourself. Father doesn't intend to use you as a tool to fight for power. Father promised the Queen that he would let you be a carefree princess."

Taoyao was moved by Gao Yang's words, even though Gao Yang was a tyrant who deserved to be punished by everyone.

But he was really good to Gao Yan and respected her ideas. Even though Gao Yan was in the royal family, Gao Yang never thought of sending her out as a pawn. Such a good father was really rare.

The palace maid stepped forward and whispered something to Gao Yang, and Gao Yang's expression suddenly changed.

Tao Yao asked curiously, "What's wrong with Father? Is there something wrong?"

Gao Yang threw everything on the table to the ground. "How dare you! Who on earth dares to be so presumptuous?"

Gao Yang suddenly broke down, "My son, there's a fire in Fengju Palace where your mother lives. Your mother's belongings are kept there."

Tao Yao never thought that someone would be so bold as to burn down Fengju Palace. That was the residence of Gao Yan's biological mother. Gao Yang usually only allowed palace servants to clean it and did not allow anyone to destroy anything inside.

And how could it be such a coincidence that she was choosing a son-in-law today and Fengju Palace was burned down.

While Tao Yao was thinking, Murong Fu arrived in front of the hall with a group of soldiers. All of them were covered in black, with their hands and faces covered in black ash.

Murong Fu knelt on the ground and reported to Gao Yang who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, we have done our best, but the fire in Fengju Palace is truly bizarre. When we arrived, the palace had been burned to the ground."

The location of Fengju Palace is also very mysterious. It is not in the middle of the palace, but outside the palace. There is a plum forest there, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom at this time. Gao Yan's biological mother hated the endless palace fighting in the palace.

Gao Yang felt sorry for her, so he ordered people to build the Fengju Palace outside the palace and planted ten acres of plum forest in front of it. It must be said that Gao Yang's favor for this woman was unprecedented and unparalleled. He doted on her for ten whole years and never took a concubine through selection.

She even almost dismissed the harem for the sake of this man's happiness, but love did not last long. Perhaps the emperor's favor took away her life and caused her to die early.

If this person were alive, Gao Yang would not be so foolish. Tao Yao was also very curious about Gao Yan's mother. What kind of woman could make Gao Yang love her so deeply?

Gao Yang now has an empty harem. Although he indulges in wine and women every day, this is the only solace for his empty and lonely heart.

"Who is this person, Murong Fu? I order you to thoroughly investigate this matter. I will cut this person into pieces to relieve my hatred."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."

Gao Yang was filled with grief and pain, and Tao Yao knew that the banquet could not be held today.

But she didn't want to rush into it, "Father."

Gao Yang looked at her deeply, as if trying to find the presence of that person from her eyes and eyebrows.

"My son, I'm so sorry to your mother. If I hadn't been so stubborn back then, she wouldn't have died. I was the one who harmed her. All these years, I've been afraid your mother wouldn't forgive me. In my dreams at midnight, I always dream of her strolling in the plum forest under a heavy snowfall, holding your hand."

Tao Yao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know whether this sad feeling belonged to her or Gao Yan. Perhaps Gao Yan was thinking about her just like Gao Yang.

"Father, let me accompany you to visit Mother. She may miss us."

Tao Yao held Gao Yang's arm and they looked at the endless plum forest in front of them. The plum blossoms in the forest were in full bloom, and the snow bent the plum trees. In the depths of the forest stood a palace.

The palace was burned down to only a few pieces of wood. Gao Yang looked at everything with red eyes.

Suddenly, a male voice as clear and cold as jade came from behind.

"Father, Sister."

Tao Yao turned around and saw the man in green clothes. He was so thin that he was just a bag of bones. His face was pale and he looked so weak that a gust of wind could blow him down.

This is Gao Yan’s younger brother, Gao Jian. Gao Jian was born weak. Gao Yang was afraid that he would not grow up, so he gave him the name Jian, hoping that he could grow up safely.

Gao Jian was in poor health and seldom went out. Even Gao Yan had only seen him a few times. He had been like a transparent person in the palace over the years. Although Gao Yang doted on him very much, he gave Gao Yan everything she deserved.

When Gao Yang saw him, his expression was dull, even cold. Tao Yao was very puzzled. Gao Yang shouldn't treat Gao Jian like this.
