C400

Just as the white-clothed gongzi had said, the person who had arrived was the Third Prince, Duan Chengrui.

Gu Liuyan could not help but feel that it was strange, as the journey in the past two days was extremely important to Duan Chengrui.

Why had he come to her during this game of chess?

Duan Chengrui lifted the cape on his head, and Yue Qing placed the lantern by her side.

"I came here today because I have something important to tell you." Duan Chengrui had a serious expression. He took out two letters from his sleeve and placed them in front of Gu Daiyan: "The slander of the Yun clan was indeed done by Imperial Uncle."

Gu Danyan's eyes widened as he quickly walked over and flipped open the two letters.

The letter was actually from Duan Chengxuan to Qi Yanbai, and what was written there was even less of a detailed explanation. It was exactly the same as the Yun clan's letter to Qi Yanbai.

How could this be …

The hope that had just been ignited was shattered almost instantly.

She slumped into her chair, but after a moment of silence, she raised her head to look at Duan Chengrui. "Do you have any other evidence?"

"The other witnesses have all been killed. They were poisoned to death." As Duan Chengrui spoke up to here, he shot a look at Yue Qing beside him.

Yue Qing respectfully passed a bottle over. There was some blood inside.

Gu Liuyan only took a sniff before his heart was pressed into the deep pool, chilled to the bone.

This poison was made by Mu Qing, and it was one of the few that could be used to seal one's throat with blood. If the poison was broken, it could even burn one's throat.

This was because there were two types of medicinal herbs here, and they were only found near the hot springs in the Yue Shan City.

With all of this, almost all the blame was pointed towards Duan Chengxuan, but Gu Daiyan was still unwilling to believe it, "Since this matter involved Mu Qing, then Su Yuwan has no reason not to know. I will investigate and find out."

"The facts are already in front of us. All of this was done by Duan Chengxuan for Su Yuwan." Hating that he had failed to meet expectations, Duan Chengrui walked up to Gu Meiyan's side and grabbed her shoulders. "If you still don't leave now, then in the future …"

"Even if I leave and come to your side now, he will not let me go in the future." Gu Danyan raised his hand and pulled away Duan Chengrui's hand. He slowly stood up and said, "Even if I want to leave, I must leave openly."

Duan Chengrui looked at Gu Daiyan's dejected expression and firmly bit down on his teeth.

He originally thought that as long as he had this evidence, Gu Danyan would feel disheartened towards Duan Chengxuan. But now, he noticed that everything was wrong.

In the end, he had still underestimated the kindness and trust Gu Pingyan had for Duan Chengxuan.

Gu Danyan had always thought that he had always been able to see Duan Cheng Xuan clearly.

"Third Prince should have more important things to do. I think you can go investigate the people backing the Wind Listening Pavilion and find out who they are. It's said that they are my mother's friends, and you also need a merchant to support you. The Wind Listening Pavilion can't be considered big, and it won't be their turn if something happens, but there are quite a few intelligent people who can help you."

"Wind Listening Pavilion?" Yue Qing was baffled. "Those are just some girls."

"Don't underestimate this girl. The Wind Listening Pavilion knows a lot more than you think they can do." Gu Liuyan sneered. Her gaze fell on the screen, "I will return to Sky Flame in a few days. You must take out those Gu worms before Qi Rou leaves. As long as you hear the news of my death, bring those Gu worms to find me."

"Death news …" Duan Chengrui muttered to himself, "If you die, nothing will be taken away."

"The thing I wanted to leave behind has long since been taken away by ghosts." Gu Liuyan slightly raised his head, his eyes still reflected the gentle light of the candle. However, it was extremely cold: "Since I have promised to help you become the Emperor, I will definitely not go back on my word. He really isn't suitable to be the Emperor."

"Esteemed wangfei …"

"I've finished explaining. I still want to digest these things by myself." Gu Liuyan interrupted Yue Qing's words.

Duan Chengrui seemed as if he wanted to say something, but Yue Qing only held him and shook his head helplessly. The two of them had no choice but to leave.

After the two left, Gu Danyan burned the letters.

The man in white walked out from behind the screen. Looking at the letters that had turned to ashes, he frowned. "If you leave these letters behind, you can help the Yun family fight back."

"Now that the Yun family has finally broken off their relationship with the imperial family, even if they do turn things around, they will only continue to get involved with the imperial family. It would be better to just let it go." Gu Danyan could only breathe out deeply. He rubbed his forehead with a headache: "He didn't need to come over for this, he should have waited for me when I got back."

"He really does like you. He didn't come all the way here just because he wanted to take you away." The man in white walked to her side and threw away the ashes.

"But I must die so that no one will do anything to my Yun clan. The current emperor will compensate the Yun clan for his apology as well. I've already thought about it long ago and will not change because of this." Gu Danyan raised his head and put his hand on the shoulder of the young master in white, "And you don't blame me for letting the Wind Listening Pavilion enter the imperial court?"

"The Wind Listening Pavilion will get into the imperial government sooner or later. You gave them a backer, so why should I blame you?" The man in white looked out the window and smiled, "It's not that your mother doesn't want to see you, it's just that she doesn't dare to. You just need that."

Then, before Gu Danyan could ask anything else, the white-robed young master had already left.

Two streets away, the white-clothed gongzi had already entered a black carriage with two iron bells hanging on top of it.

In the carriage, the lady wearing the veil had taken off her veil, revealing her face. She looked at the young master in white with a different expression, "I did not save you to cause you any trouble."

"Your daughter is even braver than the heavens, yet you don't even have the courage to see her. You only dare to let the people from Wind Listening Pavilion protect her silently." The man in white held the bone fan in his hand and shook his head helplessly. "I'm looking at you again. I just happened to bump into you once. You're not even going to get sick anymore. You're even going to leave that night."

The Madam raised her hand and touched her face before sighing, "I was afraid that she would blame me …" Back then, if it wasn't for me …

"Forget it. Madam, please don't say any more. We should leave early. The people from Er Dan are still looking for you. Since you can't see your daughter, then hurry up and leave." The man in white said quickly.

The lady helplessly lifted the curtain of the carriage and slowly looked in the direction of the residence. Only then did she let out a sigh, calling for people to hurry up.
