"stand up, " Gu Yan said.
Xia Ling stood up and staggered again.
As she staggered, Gu Yan remembered that she had been kneeling outside his study for two hours, and his brows unconsciously furrowed again.
"Your Highness, manager Hu requests to see you, " Li Yu suddenly announced from outside.
It was such a coincidence that Gu Yan had just asked Li Yu to bring Xia Ling in, and Hu Guang could not sit still?
"Let him in. " Gu Yan glanced at Xia Ling.
Xia Ling's expression immediately changed. Her face was Pale and frightened, and she looked like she was on the verge of collapse as she stood in the study.
"What are you afraid of? Go behind the screen. " Gu Yan looked at her. He was really afraid that she would faint if she could not stand.
After all, she was the princess of Xia country. How could she be so timid?
"Yes. " Xia Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the screen of the Majestic Eagle in the study and walked over before Hu Guang came in.
There was a chair behind the screen.
"Sit there and listen. " Gu Yan's voice came from outside the screen.
Xia Ling was not a fool. She did not hold back at all when Gu Yan said so.
She was really kneeling for the sake of suffering. Now, her knees were really hurting too.
With her ice-like skin and jade-like skin, kneeling like this would not cause any serious injuries, but her knees would definitely be bruised and bruised, which was especially frightening.
Sitting behind the screen, no one could see her.
Xia Ling lowered her face, and the softness on her face dissipated, leaving only a cold and calm calmness.

"Your Highness! " Hu Guang entered the study and knelt in front of Gu Yan.
"My son, Yundu, I beg your Highness to atone for your sins! "
"Oh? " Gu Yan lifted her eyes and glanced at Hu Guang.
He sat behind the desk, his expression still indifferent.
However, Hu Guang did not dare to act rashly with such a calm expression. He did not even dare to raise his head. He only dared to use his face in front of Gu Yan for so many years to make a shameful request.
"I beg the Royal Highness to let my son live. He... He is so rebellious that he actually had an affair with that Xia Ji. He even jumped into the pond beside the rockery to prove his true feelings... "
"That Xia Ji... ". ... This old servant knows that she is the Royal Highness'new favorite. However, this old servant has followed the Royal Highness for half of my life. I don't ask for anything else but the Royal Highness ".. "seeing that I have worked so hard for the regent Prince's residence for so many years, give me some face and marry this Xia Ji to my son. "
Behind the screen, the corners of Xia Ling's lips curled up, and the coldness in her eyes grew more and more intense.
This Hu Guang was really a good dog!
He avoided how Hu Ping colluded with Bai Cui, how she framed him, and how she pushed Hu Ping into the water. Instead, he chose to talk about how Hu Ping fell into the water and had an affair with her.
She did not believe that with Hu Guang's eyes and ears, how could he not know that she had been kneeling outside the study for two hours?
It was only because Gu Yan had summoned her into the study, afraid that Gu Yan would blame Hu Ping for her, that she had come to ask for Hu Ping's hand in marriage.
With Hu Guang's lifetime of hard work and dignity in the regent Prince's residence, if Gu Yan had the intention not to punish Hu Ping, she might have followed Hu Guang's wishes and married her to Hu Ping?
Her Gaze looked through the screen in the direction of Gu Yan.
Xia Ling was waiting for Gu Yan to do something.
In her heart, she felt that she was special to Gu Yan, but perhaps this feeling was an illusion?
At this juncture, she was a dancer with a complicated background. She had just entered the Gu residence not long ago, and she had not been pampered for long.
Such a scandal had happened in the mansion. Would he really investigate the truth for her, punish Hu Ping, and return her innocence?
For some reason, there was silence in the study room.
Xia Ling could not see Gu Yan, and Hu Guang did not dare to raise his head.
Unconsciously, the power of silence made Hu Guang's robe drenched in sweat from his back.
