C483

The carriage swayed as Gu Daiyan ate his medicine. He only passed the time in half a dream.

When she finally woke up this time, there was no one else in the carriage other than Lai Xuan, who did not have any strength to do anything. As night fell, Qu Li and a few soldiers' voices could be heard from outside the carriage, she rubbed his eyes to loosen the rope on Lai Xuan, then leaned to the side and said, "I originally wanted to let you go before.

"Gu Cheng raised you once."

"However, he did not show me any kindness. Back then, I wanted to leave him a chance of survival under the Emperor's guillotine. This is already enough for me to be filial." Gu Danyan wiped his face with the handkerchief and said in a low voice, "Gu Cheng and I currently have no grudges between us, but the two of us still stand on opposite sides."

"He's a good man. I can't work for you." Lai Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for him, I would have long since died under Aiyan's blade. I wouldn't have been able to climb to my current status and seek a way to survive for those slaves. You obviously treat those slaves well, but why …"

"The lives of slaves are worthless to me and Gu Cheng. I treat them well simply because it's pitiful. However, if it really comes down to it, Gu Cheng and I are thinking of using these slaves." Gu Danyan no longer had the restraints of Qu Li, and the viciousness beneath his skin was revealed, "I'll use you all to overthrow Jiang Yan."

"Even so, I am still willing to believe in him. At the very least, we will all have a way out." Lai Xuan was already trembling from the pain. She was drenched in cold sweat, yet she still didn't want to let go.

Gu Danyan grabbed his chin with one hand, and fed him the antidote without any hesitation. His eyes were cold: "But I'm different from him. He will use you guys to encircle and annihilate you guys, but I will teach you guys to become real people."

"Why should I believe you?" Lai Xuan had no choice but to swallow the antidote. The feeling of being controlled made him feel like she had returned to the days when he was a slave.

"Because I'm a doctor." Gu Danyan frowned and brought water to feed him, "I don't want to see people die for nothing. To me, even if they are tools, they are still human beings. However, in Gu Cheng's eyes, tools and people are no different from each other. I hope that you can understand them. "

Lai Xuan gritted his teeth but didn't appreciate it. Gu Danyan didn't expect that he could persuade him with just a few words in the past few days.

He had to let go of his chin, opened the medicine kit himself, and took some medicine.

Time flew by, and soon, it was almost autumn. Although Erdan was always warm, in this autumn rain, she was tortured by her stomach and limbs. The pain and suffering she had suffered in the past due to trying to put on a brave front had now been repaid by her.

Rubbing his throbbing knee, Qu Li pulled open the curtain of the carriage and asked gently, "Does your leg still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Gu Danyan grabbed Qu Li's underlings and got off the carriage, leaving the pain alone.

And all of this was witnessed by Lai Xuan.

Perhaps there was a difference between Gu Cheng and Gu Liuyan, but back then, Gu Cheng had sent someone to save him.

He was like a god.

He would not easily betray his god, but he would also notice Gu Liuyan because of the small details.

After staying in the dilapidated temple for a day, Qu Li initially wanted to stay in a hotel for the first night. However, Gu Danyan's personality seemed to be able to sleep well wherever she went.

However, there was something different today.

The cloudy sky was filled with drizzle, and the wind-whipped broken windows made disturbing noises.

The feeling of having lost a child and being left alone in bed with no one to rely on all those years ago turned into a nightmare. Gu Daiyan woke up from his dream and held onto his lapel; Duan Chengxuan's shadow seemed to still be walking over from afar, and all that was left in front of him were blurriness as tears silently fell down in the dark night.

Qu Li woke up in a daze. He heard a faint sound. When he got up, he saw Gu Danyan sitting by the door with her legs crossed. She had her head slightly raised as she looked at the water droplets that had not fallen for a long time.

Qu Li slowly walked up and sat cross-legged beside her without waking the soldiers up. "Can't sleep?"

"You sleep too much during the day and you can't sleep at night." Gu Liuyan responded indifferently. The cold sweat on her back was cold from being blown by the wind, but she could clearly recall some things and dispel the nightmares with her mind.

Always.

Qu Li draped some thick clothes over his shoulders. Gu Daiyan smiled and said, "I'm not even calling you father, but you treated me very well from the first time you saw me."

"You are my daughter, but you always speak foreign words." Qu Li rubbed her head as if it was normal for him to rub it. Hearing his daughter's soft laughter, he became a little perturbed. "If I meet your mother, what should I do …"

"Whatever you want to do, I can't even save myself." Gu Mingyan shrunk her neck. "To be honest, I've never seen her angry before."

"If she gets angry, no one can stop her." For some reason, Qu Li couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about Yun Dian's angry expression. After a while, he rubbed the tip of his nose guiltily and said, "If only she could be angry with me."

Gu Danyan turned around to look at Qu Li as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes seemed to be filled with a smile.

She did not understand that love always brought endless pain, but Qu Li still treated it like honey.

Once again, memories flooded his mind. Other than those glimpses of love and ill fate, there was only deep fear left, and Gu Daiyan did not dare to think too much, nor did he want to show any weakness in front of Qu Li. He only coughed and said: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

"Right." Qu Li nodded and wrapped her in a blanket before going back to sleep.

After a sleepless night, they climbed into the carriage the next day. Gu Danyan did not dare to eat medicine to sleep, Qu Li personally rode the horse, she leaned against the carriage and read a book that was read by a child. From time to time, she would even recite a part of the story to discuss with Lai Xuan, making him so angry that she wanted to use her eye knife to kill this annoying woman.

It wasn't easy for her to get to the border. When she heard that the city guards wanted to find someone, she became the biggest and the biggest. Qu Li immediately sent people to chase out the Jing King, and they even took her to an inn.

When Qi Rou, who had just finished sending the message, saw Qi Rou, who had been sent back, Qi Rou greeted Qu Li calmly. When Qi Rou heard that Qu Li wanted to keep a low profile, she called him uncle and told Gu Danyan, "I advise you to meet the King Jing."

"Why?" Gu Liuyan's eyelids jumped.

"He was ordered to bring Princess Erdan to Navy Tide to discuss the matter. Don't forget, you were the one who spread the news." Qi Rou patted her shoulder helplessly. "But I'm also afraid that you'll be beaten up by Madam, so you'd better go and pacify her first. Otherwise, you can buy a coffin and wait for your death."

Gu Liuyan's expression was extremely ugly.
