"Pa!" Gao Guojun raised his hand and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.

This scene deeply stimulated Gao Yuzhe. Anger and dissatisfaction made him jump up immediately. He rushed towards Gao Guojun, shouting loudly: "Don't hit my mother!"

Fists rained down on Gao Guojun, causing him to scream in pain.

Zhan Yan quickly said, "Lord Gao, I'm here to save you!"

However, not only did he take sides, he even attacked Gao Guojun out of the blue.

In just a few moments, Gao Guojun was beaten black and blue, with not a single piece of good flesh left on his body.

Queen Gao cried and tried to stop Gao Yuzhe: "Stop hitting him. He is your father. If you beat him to death, who will you rely on in your life?"

Gao Yuzhe was panting heavily, staring with a pair of bloodshot eyes and said, "Let him die. From now on, the entire Gaoyou Kingdom will be mine. I can do whatever I want!"

When Gao Guojun heard this, he immediately fainted.

He really regretted it at this moment. He shouldn't have brought this ungrateful person to Sheng Dynasty. He had completely lost face.

Xiao Ling ordered his men to send the family back to the inn, and the farce came to a temporary end.

Zhan Yan did not break his promise and immediately ordered people to go to the government to clear Wang Jianye's name.

However, when he wanted to return to the dilapidated temple to pick up his sister, he was told that she had already been taken away.

He immediately understood that it must be Queen Gao and her son.

He didn't dare to provoke them, so he could only abandon her and run away.

However, he didn't run far before he was caught by Gao Youguo's secret guards, and he was brought back to Gao Yuzhe.

He said ruthlessly, "You traitor, how dare you turn the tables and harm me and my mother? I will beat you to pieces today!"

Wang Jianye cried and begged: "I was forced to do this. It was Zhan Yan who threatened me!"

Gao Yuzhe turned a deaf ear and just whipped Wang Jianye until he was covered in blood.

About half an hour later, the man was beaten to death.

He complained dissatisfiedly: "He really can't take a beating. It's only been a short while and he's already dead? Are you pretending?"

The subordinate stepped forward and sniffed his breath and said, "Your Highness, he is indeed dead. What should we do?"

Gao Yuzhe pondered, "Does he still have any skin left on him? Isn't the Lantern Festival coming soon? Go find a craftsman to make a beautiful lantern. I want to give it to the young lady of the Zhan Yihou Mansion as an apology!"

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately took the knife and removed the skin.

Gao Yuzhe walked out of the woodshed and headed towards the yard where Queen Gao was recuperating.

He heard the sound of a medicine bowl being smashed inside the house, and he couldn't help but frown.

He opened the curtain and met the High Queen's fiery eyes.

He asked with concern: "Mother, who are you angry with again?"

Queen Gao burst into tears. She cried, "Zhe'er, does your father dislike us? I've been sick for so long, and he hasn't come to see me. What on earth does he want?"

Gao Yuzhe soothed him gently, "Don't overthink it. He's probably a little busy. I haven't seen him in the past few days!"

Queen Gao said anxiously, "Zhe'er, I'm a little worried. He's never been like this before. Go ask someone and find out where he's gone!"

Gao Yuzhe nodded: "Okay, I'll call his entourage over and ask him!"

Soon, Gao Guojun's entourage came to the mother and son.

Gao Yuzhe was the first to ask, "Tell me, Queen Mother, what has my father been busy with recently?"

"This!" The attendant looked embarrassed.

Queen Gao winked at Gao Yuzhe, and he immediately kicked his attendant to the ground and said, "What's the matter? Is he going to hide what my father did from me and my mother?"

The attendant was kicked so hard that his whole body was shaking violently. He replied tremblingly: "I dare not. The king has been trying to please Princess Youyi of the Sheng Dynasty recently. He wants to form a marriage alliance with the Sheng Dynasty!"

Gao Yuzhe's expression softened considerably. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Mother, did you hear that? Father is busy trying to please Princess Youyi. She and I are about the same age, so he must want me to marry her and strengthen our Gaoyou Kingdom!"

Queen Gao also breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her eyes and pondered, "Your father has finally agreed to pave the way for you. I met Princess Youyi at a banquet before. She is dignified and generous, and she is easy to handle. She is also the elder sister of the new emperor, so he will definitely prepare a very rich dowry for her!"

Gao Yuzhe suddenly became interested. He had to go and ask his father about the progress.

The attendant saw that the mother and son had made a wrong guess, but in order to save his own life, he did not dare to expose them and just left anxiously.

At this time, at Marquis Zhan Yi's residence, Princess Youyi was complaining to Lin Yiwan, "Aunt Wan, why hasn't that Prince Gao just gotten out of our Sheng Dynasty? He's really going too far. He keeps bumping into me in the palace every day. I can tell he's harboring inappropriate thoughts!"

Lin Yiwan has been treating Ye Li's injuries these days and has not paid much attention to Youyi's affairs. Unexpectedly, she was entangled by Gao Guojun.

She frowned and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"

Youyi replied, "He just said that there's a beautiful sight in the sea very close to Jiaodong Island where the sun and moon are level with the sea, and there's also an extremely beautiful island, and he wants me to go see it!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and thought, "He might want to form an alliance with our Sheng Dynasty, but his son's character is so bad that he is definitely not someone I can entrust my life to!"

Princess Youyi hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt, can you let me stay in your house for a few days? I'm worried that he will come to bother me again. It's really annoying!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Okay, just stay here, little Miaomiao will kiss you anyway!"

When she heard that Princess Youyi was going to stay, Little Meow Meow was so happy that she wanted to sleep in the same bed with Princess Youyi.

At this time, Lord Gao did not know that Princess Youyi had already moved into the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi. When he went to the palace again, he did not meet her.

He couldn't help but ask, and found out that she had left the palace and gone to the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi.

He returned to the post station with a frown on his face, and happened to meet Queen Gao who came to ask him, "I heard you were planning to marry into the Sheng Dynasty?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Prince Gao's face. Before he could speak, he heard Queen Gao say, "You did the right thing this time. Our Zhe'er is now of marriageable age, and Princess Youyi is indeed a perfect match!"

Gao Guojun was stunned, then said vaguely: "Yes, but it's not even started yet, so don't spread the news yet!"

Queen Gao glared at him and said, "What's the big deal? Our son is also precious. Are you afraid that Princess Youyi will look down on him?"

Gao Guojun felt that she was a little too confident. As Gao Yuzhe's character, didn't he, as his father, know it?

However, on the surface, he said: "Sheng Dynasty is now very powerful. Although the new emperor is young, with Prince Li as the emperor, I am afraid they will attach great importance to Princess Youyi's marriage!"
