"Wind Listening Pavilion has evacuated quite a number of people. It seems like they are certain that Yun Wan's identity will be exposed."
The Third Prince waved his hand and withdrew from his subordinates who had come to report the news. He said this to Gu Danyan, who was hiding in the room behind a screen made of green water.
Silence reigned behind the screen as Gu Daiyan lowered his head. He did not know what kind of ending would result from using such a trick to find Yun Dian.
Moreover, it seemed that the incident of him meeting Duan Cheng Xuan in the flower fields had still given her quite a shock.
When she was at the Yun clan, she had never felt it was a mistake to leave Duan Chengxuan, but looking at his appearance, she knew in her heart that everything was wrong, but she still couldn't let it go.
However, after a while, a servant came to report, "Your Highness, there is a woman covered by a black veil coming from outside. She says that she is the person you are looking for, do you need her to take off her veil?"
"No need, bring him in properly, don't let anyone else know."
As soon as Duan Chengrui finished speaking, Gu Pingyan seemed to have thought of something.
Just now when she woke up in that room, she held Yun Que's hand and suddenly thought of the woman with the black veil who had treated him in Medical Town. The two of them seemed very similar.
Could it be … Had he seen it then?
Thinking up to here, she secretly stuck her head out to take a look when Yun Wan stepped into the room.
When Duan Chengrui saw her, he didn't dare really let Yun Qi sit down, as he was afraid that she would see the person behind the screen.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness would be able to discover me." Yun Dian took off his veil, revealing his real face. If Gu Liuyan was beautiful, then Yun Dian was very charming. Unfortunately, on his pretty face was a long scar, which was very horrifying.
Duan Chengrui slightly raised an eyebrow and winked at his subordinate.
However, after a short while, a burly brute was pushed in. The burly brute walked to Yun Dian's side, looked at her, and nodded at Duan Chengrui. "That's right! She was the one who suggested the idea of us conquering the mountain to become kings. "
Yun Dian saw the big man frown, his eyes still had a hint of disappointment.
However, Duan Chengrui had already stood up and walked to the front of Yun Wan, "When I went to exterminate the bandits, I already received your news. Back then, it was you who instigated them to take over the mountain and rebel against Navy Tide. What I said was correct."
"If that's not the case, how would Navy Tide have noticed them? Even though he had met an enlightened monarch in the past several hundred years, he had always been aloof and had never known about the hearts of commoners."
Seemingly choked from the pain, Duan Chengrui knew that he had once had a foresight that allowed him to only wander around for the sake of the people's hearts, but he had always underestimated how different everyone was.
"Today, I have come only for that daughter of mine. If you wish for a method to become immortal, I shall give it to you."
As he spoke up to here, the corner of Yun Dian's mouth hooked up into a smile, but the person watching felt his back go cold and his scalp went numb.
However, he held a trace of doubt towards Duan Chengrui in his heart. If Duan Chengrui knew that Yun Dian was still alive that day, and even knew that the thing in her hands was still not found out, then why was he still not looking for it?
Was it really unintentional, or was there another reason?
"The method of immortality is not something we obtained. I think back then, when you left, you had already explained it very clearly to my royal father." Duan Chengrui lightly shook his head.
Yun Dian's expression changed as well. "I never imagined that the Emperor would actually tell you about this."
"Father told us princes a long time ago that if there is an immortal method in this world, then there must be a way to break it. Why must they suffer for their entire lives?" Duan Chengrui only helplessly smiled lightly.
"Then why did you threaten her with your life?" Yun Que turned his body to look at Duan Chenrui. On the contrary, he felt that the Third Prince was indeed different, but he was unable to see through his thoughts.
Duan Chengrui only shook his head lightly and left the room.
After he left, the door closed with a bang, and Yun Dian had already tightly clenched his fists as he thought about how he could escape from this place.
From behind the screen, a man dressed in elegant clothes, Gu Pingyan, slowly walked out.
Yun Que was stunned at first, then he looked at the screen that could not even block the sound with disbelief, somewhat panicked and wanted to use the black gauze to cover his face.
"Although this action is unfilial, my daughter did indeed borrow the third prince's hand and used some tricks in order to meet my mother." As she said this, Gu Mingyan grabbed the black muslin covering Yun Wan's face with one hand, and lightly touched the wound on Yun Wan's face with his other hand.
It was caused by the sword. It was an old wound that had been inflicted for more than ten years. There was poison on the sword, so the scar was very dark and not light.
Gu Danyan subconsciously thought about it. He didn't know what to say when he saw Yun Wan stare at him with her mouth wide open. He found it funny and said helplessly: "It's because his daughter is unfilial, but mother, why are you so nervous?"
When mother and daughter met, they should have been gentle.
However, in Yun Qi's eyes, all of this was just on the side of the cliff, above the abyss.
The mother and daughter pair were supposed to be dead people who had died under the hands of nobles, but now, they were struggling to survive under the noses of their enemies. There was another point, which was that Gu Danyan had not been taken out because of the woman in the Wind Listening Pavilion back then, and even that little bit of fame she had left behind had become a reason for others to slander her in the future.
They were in a deadlock for a while. Gu Danyan never knew what it meant to be passive. She quickly walked up to her and said, "If mother says she doesn't want me as her daughter, then I won't pester her at all in the future."
"I'm not!" Yun Xiao suddenly became anxious. Seeing that Gu Pingyan had been silenced by her shout, he quickly softened his body: "It's not that I don't want you, it's just that I want to do something …"
"I've already promised Third Prince that I'll help him seize the throne." Gu Danyan looked at her helplessly: "It's impossible that the Yun family will lose the royal family's help in a short period of time. Everything will have to be planned carefully."
"I'm already in the dark …"
"But you don't have the support of the royal family behind you. Just these things are not enough. Only the people standing at the very top have the right to decide the life and death of others." Gu Danyan helplessly shook his head: "And I didn't want you to do anything to find you, I just wanted to recognize you."
When the two words' recognition 'was mentioned, Yun Wan once again went silent, as if the mother and daughter pair had no other connections other than national affairs.
Yun Xiao lowered his head to look at the black muslin cloth in his hand.
Gu Danyan quickly retracted his hand and looked at Yun Xiao with the same helpless expression, "Mother, I just wanted to tell you that I have my own thoughts and considerations. But I didn't tell anyone else about your existence …"
Yun Dian was stunned for a moment. Then, he hesitated for a moment before he lifted his head and gently placed it on Gu Liuyan's head: "It's all because of this mother of mine, and I still have to let you capture me. You've truly failed."
