The wooden box fell to the ground and rolled around Gu Daiyan's feet.
Gu Zixian panicked as he helped Madam Gu yell for a doctor. The group of people hurriedly turned around, but only Gu Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Gu Danyan, as if he wanted to kill her.
Gu Danyan's gaze also turned cold. He only picked up the wooden box and placed it on the table.
"Your daughter was wrong. That bright yellow talisman wasn't beside your mother's grave, but inside the Soul Suppressing Residence."
Gu Liuyan's voice was soft, but an afterimage appeared in front of her. She subconsciously raised her hand, barely blocking Gu Cheng's palm. She had also used the martial arts she had learned, increasing her strength.
"Your mother was killed by you and your aunt all those years ago. That so-called bright yellow talisman paper was used to suppress my mother's soul. The late emperor gave the Soul Suppressing Residence an order, but in reality, he wanted your mother to die there, buried in the Shadow Mountain, and not take your and the late emperor's lives."
He took a step forward, his peach blossom eyes filled with a cold light, "Speaking of which, your mother was sent to a courtyard by you, causing the late emperor to pass away. Now that the Soul Suppressing Residence has collapsed and the coffin has been stolen, who does father think is next?"
"Where did you learn all this …"
Gu Cheng had only finished speaking when he saw Gu Daiyan's face darken. He was shocked in his heart: "You lied to me!"
His heart was dead.
Gu Liuyan was just guessing. He said those words ambiguously just to trick Ye Zichen into saying them.
She didn't think that she would be able to guess correctly, but she had to continue acting if she wanted to know the truth. "I lied to you? My mother told me about this. When I went to Grandfather's tombstone, she appeared in front of me dressed in white, saying that you had hurt her back then! "
Gu Cheng's expression changed again as he immediately put his hands down.
Gu Zixian hugged Madam Gu and looked at them with his eyes wide open.
He took the bait.
"This rusty blade was gifted to you by mother before she left. Now that she has returned it to me, father, do you know what it means?" Gu Danyan smiled gently.
Gu Cheng's face darkened as he dismissed all the servants by his side.
"Zhi Wu, bring your mother back to her room." Gu Cheng's face darkened.
"Father, just what is …"
"Get lost!" Gu Cheng shot a glance at her, Gu Zixian had never seen his father reveal such a terrifying expression before. He swallowed his saliva, while Lan Lan hurriedly ordered his men to bring the two of them back.
The father and daughter pair were left with the huge hall.
After everyone had left, Gu Cheng slowly sat down, "Why is Yun Shuang still alive?"
"She didn't die in the first place." Gu Danyan stood on the spot and put his fists back into his sleeves. He maintained his smile and said, "She is doing very well now, but she still hates you."
"No wonder she wanted to retrieve her coffin …" Gu Cheng sneered coldly, his eyes red as he looked at Gu Danyan, "You're the daughter that I raised all by myself. Don't tell me you believe that I, your father, killed her back then?"
Gu Danyan was silent.
At that time, your mother was known as Navy Tide's number one beauty. She was proficient in all sorts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was even proficient in medicine. Not to mention how many people were attracted by her beauty at that time, while she did not enter the palace, but stayed by my side. Gu Cheng asked.
"I've never seen her before." Gu Danyan shook his head.
The late emperor did not believe that, so he allowed her to enter the palace to play the zither. Unexpectedly, her nature had changed, and the palace had gone astray. Many people died, so the late emperor sent her out of the palace. As Gu Cheng said this, he shook his head, "It's a pity that the young Second Prince saw her at first glance, then went to see her after he had left school. When he returned and was taught a lesson by mufei many times, the concubine would blow the wind in the late emperor's ears, completely denying your mother permission to enter the palace and even giving him the title of 'Fiend Star'."
Where did the Fiend Star come from, where did the calamity come from? It was all because of the schemes of humans.
"Then why is she with you?" Gu Daiyan asked.
"Naturally, because of her looks, I bumped into her on the street and secretly fell in love with her, then ended up marrying his." Naturally, because of her looks, I bumped into her on the street, secretly fell in love with her, so I secretly fell in love with her and finally returned with the beauty. At this point, Gu Cheng actually choked up a bit.
"And then?"
Your mother had a prideful temper and could not rub away the sand in her eyes. She took advantage of the time when I was out on a tour to find her lover. I was furious at the time, and those concubines were all ignorant, so she spread the news. As he finished speaking, Gu Cheng lightly covered his eyes.
"That's why the late emperor knew about this. He believed even more that this woman was a fox demon. She was a disaster at first, and now she has the nature of a water poplar …" Gu Danyan subconsciously answered.
"At that time, the late emperor wanted to grant her death. Since I didn't agree, I sent her to the Soul Suppressing Residence so that he could be at ease."
"Then this rusty blade …"
"It was when we were getting married. I swore to her that I would use this blade to cut open my palm as a sign of piety and then give it to her. She buried the blade by the pond in the courtyard and when she left, she would dig it out and give it to me …" As Gu Cheng spoke to here, his tears felt like they were about to fall, "Indeed, it was I who carried her."
"Then why did you kill her with Aunt?" Gu Liuyan's voice rose a lot.
At this moment, Gu Cheng also directly stood up, angrily shouting, "Isn't it because your mother had harmed the child in your aunt's womb? Your aunt's family sued the late emperor, and thus bestowed the White Silk Poison Wine upon me. I was able to block the emperor's orders once, but I couldn't stop it for the second time."
Gu Danyan was completely silent this time.
She could no longer tell whether this matter was real or fake. Only when her fingernails touched her heart did she wake up a little and continue to ask, "Then what is my mother's favorite thing when she was alive …"
"Of course it's to make medicine. She's the same as you, she likes to practice medicine and save people." Gu Cheng's voice gradually died down, as if he was reminiscing something.
Gu Danyan also sat down slowly and asked about his mother's past preferences and habits.
Only when both of them had calmed down did Gu Cheng ask her, "Your mother …" "Where is it now?"
"She didn't tell me. She only said that she was living a good life. It seems like she was in some small village." Gu Liuyan said softly and emphasized the words' small village '.
Gu Cheng lowered his eyes, "It's good that she's doing well. Back then, I let down your mother."
"If these things weren't done by my mother, then who was the culprit behind this?" Gu Daiyan asked him.
Gu Cheng paused in his movements, "I'll investigate this matter properly. Don't spread the news that your mother is still alive, lest it cause trouble."
"I know." Gu Daiyan nodded, but he felt something strange in his heart.
