Chapter 332 is practically banditry

After hearing these words, Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but laugh.

She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.

The old man frowned.

"Lingzhi, what do you think of what Grandpa said?"

"Your Majesty, these bandits from who-knows-where dared to come here. Just have them arrested and interrogated under torture."

Gu Lingzhi didn't even bother to glance at the old man.

Having finally figured out the reason, Gu Lingzhi now wished she could execute the old man on the spot. How dare he make such a request? Even if she did have some kind of heirloom from Qiuling, would she hand it over?

Only a fool would do that.

This person came here and shamelessly said such things, which truly broadened Gu Lingzhi's horizons.

"Lingzhi, do you think I came here unprepared to say such things to you?"

He waved his hand lightly, and a moment later, someone pushed a person out from behind.

When Gu Lingzhi saw Chun'er, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes were filled with tears.

Good, very good. They actually know how to use her people to threaten her. This is a very common method used by them.

"That maid was very stubborn and refused to reveal your secret, so I had to deal with all four of them before I could barely find out a little bit."

What do you know?

Gu Lingzhi was slightly taken aback.

"Hand over the blueprints for the Thunderclap Bomb. That belongs to Qiu Ling; you have no right to possess it now."

A deafening thunderbolt?

bomb?

Gu Lingzhi understood. It seemed that what Chun'er and the others were talking about were things that she had already made public, but they had just disguised them as her secrets.

This person is convinced that she has some treasure, so even if they really don't know anything, the other party will not let them go.

My heart was trembling slightly.

She had come to regard the four maids as her own people after spending that time with them.

Gu Lingzhi's face turned ashen with anger, and even Mo Jiuxiao was clearly furious.

The soldiers around him all had bloodshot eyes.

The situation instantly became tense.

Chun'er was covered in wounds, and her lips were bitten raw. She looked up at Gu Lingzhi with a slightly excited expression, her voice hoarse.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... Chun'er has found you! Chun'er was... was the first among the sisters to see you. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets..."

Gu Lingzhi's lips twitched slightly.

"You can't die."

Chun'er seemed to have heard her words, but her eyes revealed a resolute determination.

"It was our failure to take good care of the Princess that led to her disappearance for so many years. Chun'er feels deeply sorry for the Prince and the Princess. To be able to see her again today is enough to make me die without regrets, so..."

She paused, and blood suddenly welled up in the corner of her mouth.

"Chun'er is tired..."

Gu Lingzhi wanted to rush over to save the person, but was stopped by the old man's men.

Gu Lingzhi hissed in a low voice, "She's dying, can't you see?"

"So, you've agreed to give the things to Grandpa?"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes were bloodshot, her pupils were bloodshot, and as she looked at the increasing amount of blood at the corner of Chun'er's mouth, she gritted her teeth and said, "Once I save people, you can have whatever you want!"

After she said that, the person who was blocking her finally let Gu Lingzhi pass alone.

Gu Lingzhi hugged Chun'er tightly, her eyes filled with worry, but as soon as she touched Chun'er's wrist, Gu Lingzhi's eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

This girl...

"Your Majesty... don't be sad, Chun'er... Chun'er isn't in pain..."

She uttered the last word, her voice trembling, a faint smile playing on her lips, a far cry from the lively spirit she once possessed.

In the blink of an eye, her face lost its original radiance, leaving only a grayish-white color.

Gu Lingzhi's fingers trembled slightly as she supported Chun'er and closed her eyes.

She kept her head down and remained silent, but everyone could tell that Gu Lingzhi was truly angry.

An unprecedented level of anger.

She didn't care about many things, yet she watched helplessly as someone destroyed one of them. Gu Lingzhi wished she could tear that old man to pieces.

Chun'er's body was covered in wounds, and there were even signs of abuse. Every time she looked at her, her heart ached a little more.

Those marks made her regretful and guilty.

No wonder the people Mo Jiuxiao sent out couldn't find the four maids for so long; it turns out they had been in the old man's hands all along.

That old man had designs on the people around her. If An'er and Xing'er hadn't been lucky enough to escape, she really couldn't imagine what terrible things might have happened.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, I didn't expect this one to die like this."

Gu Lingzhi's lips were tightly pressed together, and her hands were clenched tightly in her palms.

She picked up the emaciated Chun'er with all her might and handed her to the nanny beside her: "Let Chun'er rest for a while."

The old woman was stunned. Looking at the corpse in her arms, her face turned pale.

However, she still obeyed orders and carried Chun'er out.

"Where are Xia'er, Qiu'er, and Dong'er? I need to see them safe, otherwise I absolutely will not give you what you want!"

"I should be in control now. If you really care about those maids, give us the things immediately and arrange for the troops to retreat. Otherwise, you won't see them again!"

Gu Lingzhi felt a chill in her heart.

Mo Jiuxiao strode up to Gu Lingzhi, his voice filled with deep meaning: "Lingzhi, the more you care about them, the less likely they are to come back alive."

Gu Lingzhi understood this principle perfectly well.

If the old man gets even the slightest opportunity, he will definitely take full advantage of it.

Even in the end, Dong'er and the others will end up like Chun'er.

"Lingzhi, the most important thing now is to avenge them, not to still hope that they can come back."

Although Mo Jiuxiao's words sounded somewhat cold-blooded and ruthless, Gu Lingzhi truly had no choice.

"Jiuxiao, I..."

Gu Lingzhi couldn't do that.

I cannot decide someone else's life or death.

Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, the pain making her feel suffocated.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is right. If you release them now, their deaths will be insignificant."

"Capture them first, tear them to pieces, and avenge them!"

A chorus of sounds surrounded me.

Everything was influencing Gu Lingzhi's decision.

Gu Lingzhi closed her eyes, but still shook her head.

“I can’t do that. If we sacrifice others to achieve our goals, how desperate must those sacrificed be?”

Her eyes were clear and bright: "If you were captured by someone else, would you just willingly die if I didn't come to your rescue?"

This is a difficult matter to handle.
