"An Ning is the Empress, the embodiment of virtue for the world! As long as the Emperor stands, no one can touch her!" Xie Ruotong couldn't understand Gu Xingchuan's reasoning. "Now that the only threat to An Ning, the Bai Family, has also been defeated by the Emperor, what more do you need to do to protect An Ning's safety! Gu Xingchuan, everything you're doing now is unnecessary!"
"Certainly not." Compared to Xie Ruotong's agitation, Gu Xingchuan appeared exceptionally calm. "Ruotong, we've been friends for so many years. You should know best what An Ning truly wants!"
Xie Ruotong gazed fixedly at Gu Xingchuan.
"What she desires is freedom. But the Emperor won't give it to her," Gu Xingchuan enunciated each word clearly.
Upon hearing Gu Xingchuan's words, An Ning's heart trembled slightly.
So was Gu Xingchuan really rebelling against Xiao Jinxing just to grant her absolute freedom?!
She lightly bit her lip, trying to remain calm.
