At this point, there is nothing more to be said.
Jiang Ning replied with a word of agreement and then turned to Gucheng, saying, “Gucheng, you must immediately take the princess to the city gates to meet the Prince of Wutong.”
Gucheng paused briefly before speaking quickly and fluently, “Seventh Miss, with my current abilities, to escape the Brocade Guards, I can only take two people at most.”
The little girl bawled, terrified as she clung onto Princess Ling’an, “Mother, do not abandon Rongrong! Rongrong is scared!”
In the blink of an eye, this pampered and spoiled little girl had lost both her father and brother.
All she had left was Ling’an, her stepmother, to rely on.
It was clear that Ling’an had treated both her children very well after their marriage, and the little girl was very dependent on her.
This had somewhat changed Jiang Ning’s impression of Princess Ling’an.
She had thought Ling’an would dislike the two children, leading to a chaotic married life.
Unexpectedly, Ling’an led a blissful married life, cohabitating harmoniously with her stepchildren, and sharing an especially harmonious relationship with Liu Lang.
Seeing her break down in tears, Jiang Ning believed that Ling’an was satisfied with her marriage.
Such a pity.
With the Emperor’s demise and the upheaval in the Imperial Court, she, being in the midst of it all, could hardly save herself.
Princess Ling’an held the little girl, lifted her tear-swollen eyes, and croaked out, “The people outside could break in at any time. I’m taking her with me.”
“I can only take either Seventh Miss or two others.”
“She’s just a child. She isn’t heavy!”
“This is not a matter of weight.” Gucheng replied flatly, “I am just one person. Please understand.”
“If you don’t take her, I won’t go anywhere!” Princess Ling’an clung to Rongrong and sank into her chair, her expression vacant, “Liu Lang is dead. I don’t want to live.”
Taohua cried out, “Princess, aren’t you concerned about the child in your belly?”
Ling’an scoffed coldly, “If I can’t even take care of myself, how can I care for an unborn child?”
Taohua was left speechless.
“In that case,” Jiang Ning turned to Gucheng, “you first escort Princess Ling’an and this young girl away, ensure they reach the Prince of Wutong, then come back for me.”
“No.”
Gucheng rejected without hesitation.
Choking back her resentment, Jiang Ning berated, “Gucheng, stop being so stubborn. Do you realize what time it is? Your commanding general is currently engaged in battle with the Prince of Wutong. Surely, you don’t want your commander and colleagues to get hurt?”
Gucheng calmly responded, “However, I must first guarantee Seventh Miss’s safety.”
“As long as I stay in the room without running outside, those Brocade Guards temporarily won’t get in. You can make a quick round trip. Don’t you have confidence in your own agility?” Jiang Ning stomped her foot anxiously, “Gucheng, in this life-or-death crisis, prioritize the bigger picture. I’m begging you!”
Gucheng was silent for a moment before saying to Princess Ling’an, “Let’s go.”
Princess Ling’an immediately took Rongrong by the hand and followed him outside.
Gucheng, holding onto them, leapt onto the roof. He glanced back at Jiang Ning before swiftly darting away.
The Brocade Guards outside quickly noticed them and called out as they gave chase.
Jiang Ning let out a quiet sigh.
She trusted Gucheng.
Since Gucheng said he could do it, then he definitely could.
However, she had deceived Gucheng.
When she had advised Gucheng to go first, she had said that the Brocade Guards outside would not come in temporarily. This was under normal circumstances, but now that he had left with the two people and had been spotted by the Brocade Guards, they would certainly not sit by idly.
They would enter to conduct a search very soon.
As expected, screams and shrieks from the maids and servants had begun to sound from the front yard.
