The Tyrant Father's Pampered Daughter

478 Father and Daughter Conspire to Scam Others!

Another two days passed, and a hazy drizzle started to fall in the early autumn.

Gu Yihan had nightmares for two consecutive days.

Without exception, in his dreams, Gu Nuo’er was captured and eaten by a massive demon fox!

Moreover, in his dream, Gu Nuo’er was crying and asking Gu Yihan for help.

!!

She held her small hand that had been bitten by the demon fox and cried until tears streamed down her face. She shouted, “Father, Baby Nuo is in pain!”

This made Gu Yihan’s heart almost shatter.

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he had to confirm if the child who was sleeping soundly beside him was still around.

Gu Nuo’er was his life. Gu Yihan didn’t want anything to happen to her!

Gu Yihan felt that it must be a warning from the heavens.

He recalled that not long ago, his good daughter had accidentally stepped into the cave where the demon fox was sealed.

Moreover, she even brought back a fox fur scarf!

What if the demon fox didn’t die and bullied his daughter?

Therefore, on an early morning with endless drizzle, Gu Yihan summoned the Directorate of Astronomy, which was in charge of observing astrology.

“Dear subjects, I’ve been having nightmares for days. In my dream, the princess was bullied by a demon fox. Do you have a way to resolve my troubles?”

The officials from the Directorate of Astronomy looked at each other and felt troubled.

Nightmares were common, but when it came to the emperor, it was terrible.

Especially since it was related to the little princess!

Everyone knew that the emperor treasured the little princess.

If they didn’t resolve this matter well, they might even lose their heads.

Everyone thought hard but couldn’t come up with a good solution.

At this moment, a low-ranking official from the Directorate of Astronomy who had been silent all this while said, “Recently, a group of wandering monks has come to the capital. I heard that they’re very good at dealing with such demons and monsters. If Your Majesty is willing, you can summon them to the palace.”

However, the higher-ranking officials in the Bureau of Public Affairs objected.

“If we’re looking for monks, we have our Taishi Monastery. There are many eminent monks there. Why should we go and beg those wild cultivators from the countryside?”

The low-ranking official lowered his head and said firmly, “Those wandering monks are definitely better at dealing with nightmares.”

Gu Yihan pondered for a moment and raised his eyebrows. “What’s your name?”

The young official quickly reported, “This subject is Fan Qing.”

Gu Yihan nodded thoughtfully.

In the end, he thought for a moment and said, “I’ll order you to make arrangements for this matter and allow this group of people to enter the palace. However, if you don’t do it well, you’ll have to pay with your head.”

Fan Qing cupped his hands and accepted the order.

Therefore, the next day, a group of well-dressed eminent monks were brought into the palace.

Although they had yet to see Gu Nuo’er, Monk Guangxuan, who seemed to be the most experienced among them, had already concluded that Gu Nuo’er was being pestered by a demon fox.

He also said the solution to resolving this.

That was to send Gu Nuo’er to the distant Heavenly Mountain in the north for three years.

She mustn’t meet her family for the next three years.

The reason was that demon foxes were afraid of the cold!

By placing the little princess on Heavenly Mountain to raise her, not long later, the demon fox would escape on its own.

When Gu Yihan heard this, he only narrowed his eyes and didn’t object or agree.

Instead, he let Guangxuan and the other wandering monks stay in one of the palace halls.

That night, Gu Yihan and Gu Nuo’er quietly closed the door and whispered to each other.

The next day, Gu Yihan expressed that he was in a difficult position.

“The eminent monk said that if we don’t send Nuo’er to Heavenly Mountain, that demon fox will pester her until she’s 18 years old! It will also affect her marriage and health! However, Nuo’er is my daughter. I can’t bear to let her go. My beloved subjects, do you have any ideas?”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

However, Ye Siming frowned and reprimanded coldly, “This is nonsense!”
