"So annoying!"
Prince Xinhai grabbed a cloth and shoved it into Gufeng's mouth.
Gufeng lay on the ground, his eyes wide open, making muffled noises.
Overjoyed, Prince Xinhai went to Jiang Ning, gazing at her with a besotted expression, his voice trembling slightly, "Princess Consort, do you really agree to obey me?"
"Well, as long as you don't hurt Gufeng."
"Of course not. As long as you're with me, I will grant you anything, even give you the entire Silla!"
"Then let him go first." Jiang Ning jerked her chin towards Gufeng.
Gufeng, with eyes full of fury, desperately shook his head at Jiang Ning.
Prince Xinhai contemplated for a moment and then shook his head, "No, I can't let him go now. After all, I don't know whether the Princess Consort is truly with me or just for making use of me."
"Alright." Jiang Ning showed nonchalance. "Then wait until you're satisfied and then let Gufeng go."
"No problem with that."
Prince Xinhai looked at her.
