Jiang Ning suddenly lost her spirit.
How could she go meet her uncle?
The old Emperor and the dog Crown Prince would not let her go out.
"Gucheng, can you help me see my uncle?" she asked.
"No."
"Why not? If you're with me, you must obey my orders!" Jiang Ning said.
Gucheng slightly furrowed his eyebrows, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "I am here to protect you, Miss. Your safety is more important than anything else."
"Including disobeying my orders?"
After another long pause, Gucheng said word by word, "Yes. If your orders endanger your safety, I will refuse."
"You say no to this and that."
Jiang Ning paced back and forth in front of him with her hands behind her back, then suddenly stopped and looked at him, "Gucheng, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why do you speak so slowly?"
"..."
Gucheng did not answer.
And fell silent again.
For questions that don't necessarily need an answer, he can always pretend not to hear.
