Considering all the kindness Gufeng had shown her, how could Jiang Ning let him get hurt?
Let alone, she knew that Li Hongyuan was just threatening her, simply to vent his anger.
He had no real interest in randomly castrating people.
Li Hongyuan was somewhat speechless, "Just how dangerous is this palace really? Why do you insist on keeping this androgynous creature by your side? Isn't one Gucheng enough?"
"Gucheng is leaving."
Jiang Ning said, glancing back, but didn't see Gucheng's figure.
He would not appear unnecessarily when he was certain she was safe.
"Where is Gucheng going?" asked Li Hongyuan.
"After all, he is my uncle's servant. My uncle is a military man, he must have someone to protect him." Jiang Ning explained, "Because of the last incident, Gufeng is not welcomed by my uncle, so I simply took him in. Li Hongyuan, I misspoke earlier, please don't be angry."
She pleaded softly.
