Gu Danyan had also explained the whole situation. The mother and daughter duo sat down, and the uninjured ghosts also came to apologize. After serving tea to the two of them, they dismissed everyone in the yard.
As he carefully sized up Gu Liuyan, Yun Mu's eyes became moist, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of Gu Liuyan when she was young.
"At the time when I left, you were still so young, but now that I see you again, you are all people who have died once." Yun Wan had become like her usual mother when Gu Danyan confessed everything she had done. Now, she could only tightly hold Gu Danyan's hand and was unwilling to let go.
Gu Liuyan only felt very happy. The gloom in her heart immediately dispersed as she quietly listened to Yun Dian recount the events of the past.
The late emperor did not dare to allow a poisonous woman like her to enter the palace, so he had intentionally sent people to belittle her reputation and call her a demoness. Only Gu Cheng had managed to see the situation clearly and knew that the late emperor was not detesting the poison woman, but wanted to make use of her as much as possible. Thus, in the future, he could also restrict the late emperor.
Hearing this, Gu Danyan frowned: "His ambitions are not small, even the Emperor dares to have ideas."
"Gu Cheng dares to do anything. Unfortunately, at that time, I had long since fallen in love with Erdan's proton, but he was the proton while I was a descendant of the Yun clan. We shouldn't have been together, and Gu Cheng was obviously trying to sow discord …"
At this point, Yun Dian also became silent, carefully observing Gu Danyan's expression.
However, Gu Mingyan remained indifferent. "So, whose child am I?"
"It's not Gu Cheng's." Yun Wan said honestly, her voice was like a mosquito's.
"This actually makes me feel a lot more at ease." Gu Danyan could only comfort Yun Xiao with a helpless smile, "To be honest, I also had a share in the incident that happened to Gu Cheng."
"We can't be soft-hearted to him." Seeing that she was not angry, Yun Que's tone also became serious.
Yun Wan had left the Gu Estate at that time to protect the protons. Later on, she had been pregnant with Gu Gouyan in the countryside, but unfortunately, the two of them had not escaped, so she could only be brought back by Gu Cheng and force him with her death to keep the child in her womb. She had even made Gu Cheng swear an oath to the late Emperor that his eldest daughter would definitely marry into the Imperial Family.
It was also because the late emperor had once left a secret decree in the hands of the empress dowager. As for that sabre, it was the one that Gu Cheng had stabbed the proton of Aldan. Gu Cheng had destroyed it twice, but it had both been retrieved by Yun Wan.
What happened afterwards was just as the empress dowager had said, those Soul Suppressing Residence were merely tools for the imperial family to rest in peace, and Yun Xiao had only managed to escape after he poisoned himself. Unfortunately, this poison had coincidentally clashed with Gu Cheng's poison and had not been able to cure him until the time he met Gu Liuyan.
"If that's the case, what I unraveled was actually …" Gu Daiyan was also very surprised.
"It was the poison I was poisoned with before, and it has been bothering me for many years. At that time, I was only trying my luck, but I didn't expect to actually be able to cure you." Yun Wan poured a cup of tea for herself, feeling curious in her heart: "I had thought that since the Yun Family produced a genius like me, it would require a few generations before another one would appear. The records in the Yun Family tree always have this kind of effect, I didn't expect that you would be so special."
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, rubbed the tip of his nose guiltily. If it was the Gu before the marriage, then she really would have had no accomplishments in her life. Compared to medical books, she seemed to prefer to be a young miss.
"Let's not talk about this." Yun Wan suddenly changed the topic of conversation. Her finger landed on Gu Meiyan's wrist, leaving behind a light scar. Because of the imprisonment earlier, as well as the accumulation of all sorts of things, it was impossible to forget.
Immediately, his eyes reddened and there were a few sentences of reproach in Yun Wan's words, "How did you make yourself into this? I heard that you escaped on your own in order to cover for Ping Chuan …"
"It's only a few wounds. It's nothing compared to mother's wounds." Gu Liuyan shook her head. She was flustered and wanted to wipe the tears off Yun Wan's face, but her mother glared at her fiercely, so she could only stay silent.
After a long while, Yun Dian continued, "If you are willing, I can also send you to your biological father …"
"No need." Gu Liuyan quickly refused: "Compared to my father, whom I've never seen before, I like you more. At the very least, Di Qing told me something about you."
Gu Daiyan smiled when he thought of Qing Dai.
Although she had left, she had left many things for her, including her memories of her mother.
And to her, the so-called Emperor Aldan was nothing more than black and white, without a trace of emotion.
"But since I've already recognized you, I cannot let you stay in this treacherous place. Even if you want to continue supporting the third prince, you need your own backing." As he spoke, he released Gu Danyan's hand, took the jade pendant from his waist, and placed it in front of Gu Danyan. He shook it for a moment: "You should remember this."
The arch jade pendant!
Gu Pingyan only took out the arch jade pendant from his money pouch because it was a gift from her ghostly mother, Madam Zou. Although she didn't wear it, she still kept it firmly in her pocket.
Now that she thought about it, Madam Zou had once said that a woman with a scar on her face had given her something!
Yun Wan only smiled at this. "I already knew that Madam Zou's identity was that of a ghost's mother. I only hope that when the ghost comes home to visit, he can give this item to you."
"What does this thing do?"
"The two jade pendants from the Wind Listening Pavilion were prepared for you long ago." "If the Suicide String is to be used to claim the life of the King of Hell, this arch is the Yin Yang Gate. The line between life and death is the plaque of my Wind Listening Pavilion."
"Hearing Wind Pavilion? Are you talking about the Wind Listening Pavilion? " Gu Liuyan was curious.
Yun Qi gently shook her head: "Listening To the Wind Pavilion listening to everything in this world, what I want to do is to see if I can maintain this prosperous world. Although it sounds a little conceited, it is indeed a promise between our Yun Family and the Imperial Family."
Gu Liuyan was even more confused: "What kind of agreement is this?"
"The Navy Tide Kingdom was originally built up by the Yun family's ancestors and the royal family, so naturally, it should be maintained by our two clans. However, for generations, we have only told the people that married into the imperial family, and you, I have not had the time to tell you." As Yun Wan said this, her tone also carried a bit of bitterness.
"I thought you would still be able to escape from these responsibilities, but after going around in a circle, you still volunteered to come in."
