Although Princess Yuanyuan did not expect Gu Xijiu to scream to attract a crowd, she had turned things in her favor in public and had more reasons to kill her now! She could use these witnesses to defend herself if Di Fuyi found out about it.
It was her priority to get rid of Gu Xijiu as quickly as possible. "Take her down!" Her servants were just waiting for her instruction. They shouted and rushed over once they heard it!
Gu Xijiu's eyes narrowed. Abruptly, she pulled little Xie Zhi and swiftly moved about a hundred feet from her previous location.
Princess Yuanyuan was shocked and thought she was going to escape. Fortunately, she managed to locate her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Xijiu had not attracted such a crowd, Princess Yuanyuan could have used the safety of the child to threaten her; but in the eyes of the public, she did not want to destroy her reputation by holding a child as a hostage. Hence, she had to scrap that plan.
