When King Jing received the letter from Er Dan, he even thought that Gu Mingyan would be as businesslike as before.
Looking at the words on the paper, Duan Chengxuan instead felt the word 'retribution'.
"When Gu Cheng made his move, he suppressed the nomadic tribes and neighboring countries. He was not allowed to annex them, and after the matter was settled, he came to meet them. Although he could not reunite with them, it was still a bad fate between the two of us."
The word 'undesirable fate' instead gave Duan Chengxuan endless hope.
If Gu Danyan hadn't faked her death that year, perhaps he would have still stubbornly believed that she could do the same to him and think that he was sincere to Su Yuwan.
If he thought about it carefully, everything that had happened with Su Yu Wan involved his Master and Mistress.
And with Gu Liuyan, is from the inside out comfortable.
He could only blame himself for not having noticed it at the time.
He quickly told Cheng Shan about it, and told him to be careful and not to spread it. Even Su Yu Wan didn't tell him.
However, what he didn't know was that when he started to compromise with his feelings, Gu Danyan's sharp blade had already grabbed onto Su Yu Wan's neck.
She and Qu Li sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. The candy in her hand was just taken a bite before it was placed down, afraid that it would conflict with the medicinal properties in her body. Despite her casual appearance, the moment she opened her mouth, her expression changed, "I'm not like Your Majesty's mother.
"We owe each other a lot. We have used too many schemes and tricks, and ended up harming ourselves. We just have to wait for the day when we can fulfill our agreement with the beautiful spirits and beautiful spirits. It doesn't matter to me what my life is once we are completely free."
Gu Daiyan talked about what had happened.
There were also the various things that had been lost during the snowy night. There were also two people who travelled to the Sunset Water Stronghold, and there were also Duan Chengxuan who stood up for them and saved them. Naturally, there were also days of mutual respect and respect.
Although there were many schemes and tricks involved, even though his heart was full of holes, he was still able to mature step by step.
Now that this matter had been revealed, Gu Bingyan's expression did not change from start to finish, as if she was a spectator.
"I don't blame the world, nor do I blame my parents. The only regret is that I was unable to carry it out for the rest of my life, and in the end, when I thought about the big picture, I forgot my original intention to wholeheartedly save the person before me. Not to mention that in the future, my hands will be stained with blood. Gu Danyan laid on the table, and laughed lightly while facing the starry night sky: "If possible, it would be good to go to the White Horse Temple to accompany little master Xu Chen and sweep the land for the rest of his life."
Qu Li had been quietly listening from the beginning until he heard the last sentence. However, he didn't know what to do with his daughter anymore.
She seemed to be reasonable and knew that the overall situation was not about winning or losing, but about checks and balances.
However, in the end, there was only pain in his heart and his schemes and tricks. The last bit of kinship that he had gained from Gu Cheng all those years ago was shattered by the truth. Now, he was sometimes arrogant and domineering, but his heart was cold.
"I'm done. What about you?" Gu Danyan rubbed his calves.
However, Qu Li was silent for a moment. He was different from Gu Mingyan and Duan Chengxuan, as long as he thought of Yun Qi, he would feel warm in his heart and talk about small things. He didn't want his daughter to know about what really happened, and after a long silence, he only said, "All these years, I've been thinking about your mother."
Gu Danyan's hand froze, and she looked at him in disbelief: "So you're not taking care of the country?"
"Why do you only care about national affairs?" Qu Li also looked at her in disbelief.
Upon being asked this, Gu Danyan rubbed his head strangely, thinking about how he had been busy with work in his previous life and studying when he was young. Although he would play with his neighbors' children, he rarely talked about gossip or talked about family matters.
Qu Li raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Tomorrow, I'll take you out of the palace to play."
"Did something happen?" Gu Danyan asked subconsciously.
"It's not like we can only go out to play if something happens. I just heard that the few girls you brought back aren't used to this place and are clamoring to see Lai Xuan or you …" What's more, you haven't even given me the antidote for Lai Xuan. " Qu Li reminded.
Gu Daiyan hit his head. It had been about seven days, he had indeed forgotten about it.
However, thinking back, Gu Mingyan decided it was time for them to act. She rolled her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then let Lai Xuan return tomorrow. Those soldiers will stay behind first."
"What do you want to do now?"
"I want Lai Xuan to go back and help look after Gu Cheng. I'll have my men bring Lai Xuan's family over here and ensure that there's no mishaps. It just so happens that when I leave the palace tomorrow, there's another rumor that I've secretly gone to Navy Tide to negotiate with Gu Cheng and force him to make a move." Even in the dark of the night, Gu Daiyan's eyes were still shining.
If it was a few days ago, Qu Li would have been astonished, but now he felt his heart ache.
What kind of environment was needed for her to plan everything now?
Thinking of this, Qu Li was even more determined to play with her for a few days.
The next day, he saw Gu Danyan in a black robe, black scarf, with her hair tied up high and a sabre on her waist. Qu Li, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, stood stiffly on the spot.
The father and daughter pair looked at each other, but were caught off guard by Qu Hao, who had just finished his discussion.
"I thought it was a secret." Gu Daiyan pulled down her scarf a bit.
"I thought you wanted to play recklessly." Qu Li pulled on his sleeves and stood there, embarrassed.
Qu Hao waved to the palace maid behind him and said, "Go to my sister's closet and pick out a goose-yellow dress. Get uncle that golden colored dress. You don't need to bring any silver notes. A few hundred taels of silver is enough for you."
Seeing that Qu Hao had arranged everything in such a neat and orderly manner, it was rare for Gu Danyan and Qu Li to cooperate.
When they came out again, the two seemed to be father and daughter, but in reality, they maintained a certain distance from each other. Most of them were playing around and buying things they had never seen before, and Qu Li could only follow behind to guard against the pranksters' interest in his daughter.
Gu Danyan, such a polite woman, was indeed rare in the somewhat unrestrained environment of the capital, not to mention that Gu Danyan did not go to work on the ground, but he also did not have the rouge on his body like a brothel girl.
It was finally noon. The two of them sat in the restaurant and ate lunch. Gu Daiyan glanced at the bamboo board on the wall and said: "Have some dessert, less osmanthus candy, and so on. Take two servings of the meal and pick up the delicious dishes."
"Well, the girl can wait." The waiter put the cloth on his shoulder and left while shouting.
While they were waiting, Gu Pingyan pulled out a small toy she had bought and passed a bracelet of black glass beads to Qu Li: "That stall owner said this can cure evil."
Qu Li received the beads dumbfoundedly. Then, he heard her say, "This is a glass bead. Next time, I'll bring some silver to pick out a jade pendant. It should definitely be worthy of you."
