After leaving the Prime Minister's Estate, Gu Danyan's face no longer showed any expression.
She followed the thin curtain of rain as she walked out of the city. She walked leisurely to the Soul Suppressing House at the foot of the mountain. The mansion was already more than half collapsed, but she still stepped into it regardless of the mud.
Finally, he stopped in a house that was half collapsed but completely empty.
"It seems that mother doesn't like to practice medicine to save people." She squatted on the floor and only dug up a piece of wood. It was empty inside, but there were no bugs in this small hidden compartment. There was only hard, dark soil.
Only the places where the poison plants were kept for a long time would have no insects coming in.
Gu Pingyan sneered. He found quite a few things in the empty house, such as the remnant pages of the book, the barren land, and the poison roots buried under the soil.
People who weren't proficient in pharmacology wouldn't be able to clean up these traces.
She let her hands be covered in dirt as she squatted under the eaves in a daze.
Gu Cheng was still lying to himself, which made sense. If Gu Cheng really did like Yun Wan, he should be asking her how she was, why he was there, and why he hadn't asked if she was all right. He had only wanted to give his a peace of mind pill, hoping that she would be all right.
"When your mother was alive, the thing she loved the most was poison." That familiar voice came from the roof, and the white-clothed person holding the bone fan floated down in front of her.
"Why are you still following me?" Gu Danyan glared at him.
"Of course I have to watch you when you come out alone." The man in white chuckled and continued, "Your mother didn't inherit any medical skills, but she inherited the Yun family's poison skills. Many people bought poison from her in the past, but she didn't sell them."
"Who exactly are you? "How do you know so clearly?"
"I'm a vengeful spirit. I'm here to avenge your mother." The man in white no longer had a smile on his face as he continued in a low voice, "You're so smart, I don't even need to tell you about the past. All you need to know is that Gu Cheng is a villain."
"Then why did the child in Aunt's womb disappear? Was it really not my mother who poisoned him? " Gu Liuyan slowly stood up: "Besides, I have never heard of my grandfather talking about my mother."
"That's because your aunt had a stillborn child in her womb, so it's just a blame to your mother!" Furthermore, your mother was highly regarded by everyone in the Yun Family. They only agree that your mother is a member of the Yun Family, but they don't like her. Even the poison on that iron bell was applied by her in accordance to the ancient medicine formula. " The man in white smiled. "Besides, your mother is not a demure and virtuous person. She is very intelligent."
Just as Gu Liuyan was about to ask another question, the man in white's expression changed and he disappeared.
Gu Liuyan rushed out of the eaves, but missed.
As for the other black shadow, it landed firmly by her side. It was the secret guard by Duan Chengxuan's side who did not move an inch away from her.
"Your highness misses Princess Consort and has specially ordered your subordinate to deliver a letter." The guard knelt in the muddy water and respectfully handed the letter to her. He then ordered, "Your subordinate will send someone to retrieve an umbrella for Your Highness. Your Highness, please wait a moment."
"There's no need. Hand this letter of the Autumn Examination over to the prince and you must have instructed that this letter was chosen by my father, Prime Minister Gu." After saying that, she took the letter and saw a stalk of withered grass on top of it. He then mysteriously said, "Let your highness be careful, you must come back with your tail between your legs."
After saying that, she was slightly stunned, but the hidden guard had already accepted the letter and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Daiyan shook his head. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Love really does know how to get addicted to love …"
Waking up, she opened the letter as she walked back.
There were only a few common matters regarding the borders. On the second page, he gave her many orders and a few words: "Your father secretly ordered Gu Yan to rope in the military. The Second Prince divided the military power.
Gu Liuyan's expression changed. He finally understood why Gu Cheng had been treating him so well these past few days.
If Gu Yan didn't share the same heart as him, then his son would be as if he had never existed. Thus, Gu Cheng only had Gu Zixian and her two daughters left. Gu Zixian was pregnant, but he was also his official wife, so in the future, this child would have to call him his mother and treat him well.
She folded the letter and put it in her pocket before turning cold.
Her father lied a lot. Whether it was his mother's matters or the matter of ordering Gu Yan around, he probably never told his daughter the truth. Gu Zixian was stupid, so her father probably never told her either.
It seemed like there was still something fishy about his mother. However, the man in white's intention just now was that he would seek revenge from his father.
Then it would be none of her business.
Currently, both Prime Minister Gu and the Assistant Minister of Revenue had turned against the Second Prince. They probably knew from the beginning that the impotent crown prince was going to fall from the throne and become friends with this bastard son of theirs, who could easily ascend to the throne.
After all that time, Duan Chengxuan was a pawn in the hands of these ministers as well.
With a sullen face, Gu Daiyan walked to the city gate and remembered that he hadn't finished reading the letter and had only stopped to read it carefully.
"Next spring, This King will bring you to see the scenery of the desert."
With just a simple sentence, Gu Danyan felt depressed for no reason.
The rain got heavier in Sky Flame City. She carefully hid the letter inside her clothes and sighed softly.
After fighting for so long, she still couldn't take it anymore.
But right now, she was still by Duan Chengxuan's side, so she should be careful to cherish him. There would definitely be a day when she would become enemies with him.
If there was anything more between their love, it was time.
Love is not love when it is wrong.
She slowly closed her eyes and exhaled. "Forget it, mother or king Jing, everything has to be done one by one."
"Put it down, put it down," she murmured in her heart.
When she returned to the manor, the first thing she did was to send someone to inform the little girl and ask her to call the ghost girl back. She completely did not care about Lady Yunchao's matters; in any case, someone else did.
She even believed that the man in white was more powerful than her own father, Gu Cheng.
When she returned to Phoenix Cry Garden, she saw the fallen leaves all over the ground. There was a maidservant sweeping the area, but she waved her hand. "There's no need to sweep. This is pretty good."
The maidservants bowed slightly and quickly left.
The ghost quickly came back and said that the rain was almost done. He stood by the window and looked at her. "When I came back, I saw that Fairy was comforting the embroidery. She even asked me to tell you to come over."
"What happened?" Gu Danyan raised his head and asked.
After being silent for a moment, the ghost replied, "It seems to be so. Su Yu Wan killed the other two maidservants in the courtyard."
Gu Liuyan stopped walking. The autumn wind seemed to have turned even colder.
She had almost forgotten that Su Yu Wan was special. She could play with life as she wished, or she could play with Duan Cheng Xuan as she wished.
