No matter what, the timing of the Wind Listening Pavilion's appearance was just too strange. She had chosen to believe it too decisively before. However, she had not expected that Gu Cheng had also been on his guard at that time.
Right now, the most critical issue was that Gu Cheng had been wary of. Was it exactly Yun Su? Or was she the lover of the Kingdom of Er Dan? Was it actually someone that Yun Wan and Gu Cheng knew?
The jade bead didn't know what had happened, but Ah Zi, who was beside her, looked at Gu Danyan strangely.
The three of them went to the Wind Listening Pavilion. Liu'er invited them to a private room. She smiled as she poured tea for Gu Ming Yan, "Yin Qiuyi has been helping the Wind Listening Pavilion these past few days. How clever."
Gu Mingyan raised the cup and asked without changing her expression, "Where is my mother now?"
Liu'er's movements paused slightly, but she managed her expression extremely well. On the other hand, Zhizhi, who came to deliver the snacks, nearly crushed the plate in her hands and frantically took back the plate of snacks.
Liu'er glared at Ziming fiercely. Ziming's face was also filled with helplessness as he hurried over and said, "What are you talking about? Mistress Cloud has passed away."
"Then I'll go dig a coffin later. If my mother's corpse isn't in the coffin, then I'll come to you guys for it. If I don't give it to you, then I know that the Third Prince is currently investigating the various shops and the person behind you will naturally be found." Gu Daiyan slammed the cup on the table.
Ah Zi exclaimed and quickly hid behind Zi Ming.
At the same time, Ziming and Liu'er's eyes widened, and they quickly pulled Ah Zi out and stuffed her back beside Gu Danyan.
"All of you, leave." Seeing that she couldn't continue hiding, Liu'er waved her hand at them.
While Ziming was dragging Ah Zi outside, he seemed to be disappointed with the result, while Yu Zhu was completely confused.
When there were only the two of them left in the private room, Liu'er wiped the tea off the table and said helplessly, "Things are already in the past. Princess, you're living a good life now, so there's no need for you to wade in troubled waters."
"My mother clearly didn't die, yet you didn't tell me and even sent people to protect me. At the beginning, I really thought she was my mother's friend. After all, everything she left behind was still there, and my grandfather never mentioned anything." Gu Liuyan lowered her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, and her hands were gently holding the hem of her clothes.
She had thought that she would be able to obtain her father and mother in her second life, but Gu Cheng's treatment of her had disheartened her.
But now, the news of Yun Que's survival had given her new hope. If her mother was still alive, she would have been very filial and would have called her mother herself.
Seeing Gu Danyan like this, Liu'er helplessly shook her head: "Think of her as dead."
"Just what happened to her …"
"Back then, she was even more passive than you were. Now that she's alive, why do you have to look for her?" Liu'er was also a bit angry. She looked at Gu Danyan and said: "Our master is indeed not Yun Diao, but Yun Dian's friend. But now, there are some things that cannot involve you at all. The struggle between the princes is the first thing you should not touch."
"Why?!" Gu Danyan slapped the table: "It doesn't matter if she is willing or not, I will definitely find her, and I will definitely fight for the crown!"
"Why are you so stubborn? Are you not afraid of your mother?" Liu'er looked at her with a pale face.
"Since she doesn't want me to go and see her, I shouldn't be afraid of her. I have never seen her, so I would naturally not listen to her words. Furthermore, since I am able to use my mouth to change this world, the fate of my Yun Family's descendants, why do I have to sit here and wait for your death or for her! " Gu Liuyan felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart. She stood up and looked down at Gu Ruoyun condescendingly: "I want to see her because I only want a family relationship. If I can't get it, then I will be myself."
After she finished speaking, she threw down a silver ingot and left in a hurry.
Ah Zi was still hiding behind Zi. Yu Zhu still wanted to follow, but Gu Pingyan said softly, "No need to follow me. Rather than asking you to protect me, let me go find another piece of the sky."
Yu Zhu helplessly stopped in her tracks. The moment they saw Gu Pingyan leave, it was as if all of their anger had been dissipated. As usual, they dashed into the crowd and left.
The two of them went upstairs helplessly, only to see Liu'er sigh and say, "She and Master really were carved from the same mold."
"No wonder A'Zi is scared." With that, Ziming also sighed softly. He pinched a handful of A'Zi's face. "She's not a master, why are you so scared just by a single movement?"
"Isn't he afraid? Although Master is usually good, when he is angry, he will act like this, a shadow from when he was young." Ah Zi hurriedly shook her head. She didn't seem to be able to do anything with regards to this matter.
"Why didn't you tell her the truth? She must have misunderstood that Madam Yun didn't want her anymore." She let out a soft sigh: "You guys always say that Yun Tong has suffered even more than she has, but she hasn't even had a few days. Every day, she would study the medical books in order to help the world, but she always hopes that she can change something."
"I just told her that her mother just didn't want her to get involved." Liu'er also looked at the jade pearl.
"But all she wants is to see her mother." Yu Zhu sighed, "If I say that Yun Dian doesn't even know what his daughter wants, then whatever he gives will not be counted by anything."
The few of them were silent. How could they not want something in their hearts?
But what was wrong with this world forcing people to move forward, and the hatred that had forced them to take revenge and not let the wicked continue to do evil?
Gu Danyan returned to the Prince's Mansion restlessly. As soon as she entered the Phoenix Cry Garden's room, she could not help but fall down.
Yun Dian had clearly not died, yet he had always been unwilling to see her. Just why was he doing this?
Now that she thought about it, ever since she had married into the Prince Jing's estate, she had walked into Gu Cheng's scheme. What Gu Cheng wanted was the connection with Duke Jing, while she was just a chess piece. The suicidal incident from before had merely been a chess piece in the hands of his mother, causing Gu Cheng to be afraid.
No matter if it was the king or the third prince, no one would ever tell her everything. Yet, she still went to them to advise them. She wanted to do everything better, plot, and scheme to help them steal the throne.
In the end, there was still no one around her.
She would always rely on herself to gamble and guess. She only felt extremely tired.
Outside the window, the dead tree was still there, but Jindan had already left, and Yin Qiufu had also married into a woman. For the sake of her departure, they had all left, not only to keep the ghosts and the Qing Dynasty safe, but also to have them leave as well. Gu Cheng disliked her, and she had not exterminated all the members of the Gu family.
But now, what was left of her?
From the distance, he could still see a person slowly walking in.
