Chapter 160
As soon as these words came out, even Gu Hengyu looked up.

Yan Qingan took a deep breath, calmed down and said: "In the letter, the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom sincerely admitted his mistake first, and expressed his gratitude to Yan Zhao."

"Thank you for keeping his only daughter."

"I am willing to take back Chen'er in exchange for three cities, and posthumously designate Princess Yuning as Empress Xiaode."

"Furthermore, Xiliang Yanzhao has a long-lasting friendship for a hundred years, and the trade market is free and open."

After finishing speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent, and even Xie Chen was touched.

You know, the last time Nan He Linguang talked about the trade market, it was attractive enough.

The emperor of Xiliang Kingdom will give three cities this time, just to admit her back.

These kinds of behaviors are not only Liang Ding's sincerity, but also the meaning of rectifying the names of Princess Yuning and Xie Chen.
Just for these vested interests, the common people can't say anything anymore.

Without spending a single soldier, not only got three cities, but also a hundred years of stability.

Yan Zhao and Xi Liang were bound by blood, and Nan Chu didn't dare to do anything after that.

This matter was solved so easily because of the intervention of the Emperor Xiliang.

Although the emperor knew that Liang Ding would not do anything that would harm Yuning's reputation, he did not expect that he would be so strong. Isn't he afraid that the people of Xiliang will resist?

But it doesn't matter what they think, the final decision rests with Xie Chen.

"Chen'er, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor looked at Xie Chen and asked hesitantly.

From his point of view, he would naturally agree to Liang Ding's conditions.

But Xie Chen is different. Although Liang Ding is her father, she has never met him. Whether she recognizes this relationship depends on what Xie Chen thinks.

"Now, is there a better way than this?" Xie Chen asked rationally, with no expression on his face.

After the whole incident, Xie Chen and Princess Yuning were the most hurt. But Yuning is dead, and Xie Chen has to bear all the infamy.

The emperor stepped forward, wanting to hold Xie Chen: "Chen'er..."

"Uncle, I'm a little tired, I'm going to step back first." Xie Chen took a step back and said with a salute.

The emperor wanted to say something more, but was dragged away by the queen.

The queen looked at Xie Chen and sighed, then turned to Gu Hengyu and said, "Take Chen'er to rest."

Gu Hengyu lowered his head and answered yes, and walked out with a calm Xie Chen.

Yan Qing'an looked at the two from behind, not knowing how to feel.

He is also worried about Xie Chen, but he has no position to show his concern.

Along the way, Xie Chen didn't make a sound, and Gu Hengyu followed her without asking.

When we got to Shifang Hall, we closed the door.

Xie Chen couldn't hold back anymore, the calm expression on his face disappeared, and he started crying while hugging Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu has seen Xie Chen who is crying silently, and she has also seen her fragile and fragile appearance.

But it was the first time he saw Xie Chen who broke down and cried like now.

Her crying was like an invisible hand grabbing Gu Hengyu's heart.

Gu Hengyu patted Xie Chen on the back, no amount of words and heartache could be expressed, so he could only comfort him silently in this way.

As long as Xie Chen cried, Gu Hengyu comforted him with this gesture for a long time.

It wasn't until her voice became hoarse and she could no longer cry that the hall became quiet, only the sound of each other's breathing.

Xie Chen's eyes were red and swollen from too many tears, like two walnuts.

Gu Hengyu couldn't bear the pain in his heart, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her: "It's okay, I'll be by your side no matter what happens."

Xie Chen couldn't make a sound out of his throat, and could only shed tears silently.

She had no mother since childhood, longing for her father's love.

But what he saw was that all of Prime Minister Xie's father's love was not given to Xie Wan, and he never gave her any of it.

Going forward, she can pretend that she doesn't care, but she will cry silently late at night, wondering if it's because she is not worth it and doesn't deserve it.

Now, when she thought she would let go after everything, she found out that her father was a man she had never seen before.

No matter how much the Emperor Xiliang valued her in the letter, to her, he was a person who abandoned herself and her mother.

She didn't know how to face it and how to solve it.

"Don't be afraid, you just need to make your inner choice, and leave the rest to me." Gu Hengyu's eyes were full of distress for Xie Chen.

Xie Chen nodded in Gu Hengyu's arms, and the hands around Gu Hengyu's waist became tighter.

Because Xie Chen's mood was too unstable today, Gu Hengyu watched Xie Chen fall asleep on the bed before getting up and leaving.

On the second day, before Gu Hengyu rushed to the palace to meet Xie Chen, Gao Kun was brought in front of him.

Gu Hengyu was thinking about Xie Chen's state, and had no time to care about Gao Kun, and was about to send someone to send Gao Kun to the emperor.

"Master Gu, I don't know how to thank her, but she likes the big gift I gave her?"

At this point, Gao Kun still looked at Gu Hengyu with a smile as if he was not afraid of death.

It's okay not to mention this, but when Gu Hengyu mentioned it, he walked up to Gao Kun and grabbed his neck.

"Do you really think I won't kill you?" Gu Hengyu's eyes turned cold, and he exerted force on his hands.

Gao Kun's face turned red because he couldn't breathe for a long time, but Zhizhi stared at Gu Hengyu firmly.

For some reason, Gu Hengyu suddenly let go of his hand and threw Gao Kun on the ground.

"You want to die in my hands so easily, and you don't want to face the emperor?"

"How can I do what you want?"

If Gao Kun died in his hands today, it would only free him.

But if he was allowed to watch the emperor confront each other and recall his own experience before he died, this would make Gao Kun most sad.

"Bringing him before the emperor, life or death is up to the emperor to decide."

Gu Hengyu looked at the person below and said calmly, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter.

As soon as the voice fell, he got up and entered the palace.

When Xie Chen woke up, his eyes were sore and his voice was too hoarse to speak.

She got up, didn't ask Yinhuan and the others to come in to serve, she went to the table and poured a glass of water by herself.

The water slid down his throat as painful as swallowing a blade, Xie Chen frowned.

Putting down the cup, Xie Chen heard a knock on the door.

"Chen'er, are you awake?"

It's Gu Hengyu.

Xie Chen walked over and opened the door for Gu Hengyu.

I saw Gu Hengyu holding two paper bags in his hand, which contained the breakfast from Xie Chen's favorite shop.

"You..." Xie Chen wanted to ask Gu Hengyu when he got up to buy it, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.

Gu Hengyu was stunned when he heard that, thinking of Xie Chen crying in his arms yesterday, his face showed distress.

"It's okay, you can rest and eat something first." Gu Hengyu said first because he was afraid that Xie Chen would think of yesterday's sadness again.

Xie Chen nodded, not at all like yesterday when he lost control of his emotions, and sat down at the table.
