The fingertips on his face were ice-cold. Ai Qi had yet to recover from Gu Tinyan's words.
Lai Xuan had already pulled her over. "Don't think that I really don't dare to kill you. It's just one person. Don't tell me that you really can change the entire world's situation?"
"Who said I was alone?" Gu Danyan also grabbed his wrist, "It's Jiang Yan and those oppressed who want to change the pattern, it's the high officials' ambition that wants to change the pattern, and you're afraid that Jiang Yan will fall apart. Do you believe that your Jiang Yan will still be able to linger in the fight for power between life and death?"
"Wake up, Lai Xuan. You will understand this very soon."
"True war and struggle will tell you what color human blood is."
Ye Zichen pulled Lai Xuan's hand away, while his wrist turned purple.
She didn't want to engage in a meaningless debate with Lai Xuan, but now the only person she wanted to persuade was Ai Qi. "So you kept Mu Qing by your side just to make Su Yu Wan think that she's really controlling you, right?"
Ai Qi looked at Lai Xuan silently.
The latter folded her arms and closed her eyes, trying to pretend that she didn't hear him.
"Let's talk about a business deal." Gu Danyan sat down next to Ai Qi and looked at her: "Help me continue deceiving Su Yu Wan and have her betray the country. I will help you overthrow Ai Yan, what do you say?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Relying on Duan Chenxuan's ability." Gu Danyan chuckled.
Aki remained silent. She wasn't sure about that.
Gu Danyan didn't continue talking and only gave her enough time to think.
Gu Liuyan was quieter than what Lai Xuan had seen. She only sent people to find some medical books and read them quietly, as if she was never tired of it. The soldiers could only sigh at the speed of eating and only ate slowly in front of some pastries.
She did not seem to care about the world outside as she quietly made her way to the capital.
The Emperor gave everything to Gu Cheng to arrange.
Thus, the horse carriage would stop in front of a house on the west side of the capital city, with Gu Cheng personally standing at the door to welcome them. When he saw Gu Pingyan, his father's smile remained on his face: "Yan'er."
"Milord." Gu Danyan responded and got down from the carriage, "I didn't expect that you and I would shed our golden cicadas and end up changing our faces."
"If I knew that you were so unkind and smart back then, I wouldn't have let you go." Gu Cheng came up to her affectionately, "Naturally, I'm here today to take good care of you."
"If I am satisfied, perhaps I can tell you the secret of that suicidal string." Gu Liuyan strode in. No matter how Gu Cheng looked at it, he opened his mouth first: "Lai Xuan and Ai Qi will be staying in my courtyard."
"Lai Xuan is a man."
"To me, it can only be useful and useless." Gu Danyan's words contained a hint of ridicule.
However, Gu Cheng wasn't angered by this. He could only send people to prepare for the battle with a serious expression on his face.
When he returned to the courtyard and saw the luxurious room, Gu Danyan did not express anything. He only heard Gu Cheng close the door for the most part before asking her alone, "Just what sort of tricks have you come to represent Erdan this time?"
"We naturally have to do something for our father. As long as you are willing to give us a few cities, we are willing to help you, milord." Gu Danyan slowly sat down, his fingers unconsciously moving across the rim of his cup as he chuckled: "Could it be that you think that when the Jing King humiliated me that time, I could still do things for Navy Tide and not become my great princess?"
"Who can say for sure?" Gu Cheng sneered, "I heard that someone said that Su Yuwan was the Grand Princess of Er Dan?"
"They, Navy Tide, are only trying to rope me in and sow discord. The reason for coming to Er Dan this time is naturally because I hope that after you accomplish your goal and deal with Duan Cheng Xuan and Su Yu Wan, I can also go and become my Princess Er Dan. " Gu Liuyan said with a hint of anger: "At first, I was in love with the King Jing, but now, in order to make Su Yu Wan righteous, she even tried to take away my name. Unfortunately, my mother is not alive, and the only person who can explain what happened that year is …"
At this point, Gu Daiyan stopped talking and looked at Gu Cheng with a gentle smile.
The latter was even more surprised by this matter. Previously, he had suspected that Gu Mingyan was stepping on two boats in an attempt to stir up some trouble in the three kingdoms, but now his words were even more sincere.
He naturally knew what had happened between her and the King Jing through Gu Zixian's help. If one were to say that the two of them were able to reunite, then one of them would have to give way and let it go. But he had raised Gu Chuyan for many years, so naturally, she would not go back since she had faked her death once.
There seemed to be a reason for her to say that Su Yu Wan was the real princess.
"I didn't expect you to be so ambitious." Gu Cheng merely smiled.
"I just don't think that Qu Hao is worthy of being the crown prince. I am the next successor to Emperor Dan." Gu Danyan continued to add fuel to the fire. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I know you want to build your own empire, but I also have some ideas …"
Gu Cheng's heart abruptly tightened, but in the end, he still refused to believe Gu Liuyan and just left.
A few words could not change much.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, believed that these chess pieces were pretty good. However, she still needed to know which side of the three forces was the easiest to deal with.
All of this was accomplished by her alone.
Holding her trembling wrist, she closed her eyes and murmured to herself, "You have to believe in desire and words... "Everything is fine."
She was equally unconfident about her future. Perhaps any link would be artificially destroyed.
However, right now, she could only brace herself and do it. In order to dissolve Gu Cheng's threat, in order to send Su Yuwan to the guillotine, she had thought herself selfish enough.
At the same time, Duan Chengxuan had long since brought his men to ambush them at the border. The army of Prince Zong Ping had fallen into his hands, and he only needed to use these troops to establish his achievements.
He was worried about Gu Liuyan's situation until the ghost delivered the letter.
"If she goes to Jiang Yan Jing alone, she will choose to provoke one of the powers and ask the king to put pressure on Ai Yan."
Ghost's letter could even be said to be very sloppy, and seemed to be in a hurry.
After the paper was crumpled into a ball, Duan Chengxuan wished he could capture the person who had acted on his own. Currently, everyone should know about the two princesses' matter, but wasn't he afraid of Jiang Yan threatening to lend her a helping hand by daring to go alone to Jiang Yan?
Furthermore, Gu Cheng was not a good person to play with.
"Push the military camp forward fifty kilometers."
But now, all he could do was to wait — for a month's time or for news of Gu Daiyan.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Jiang Yan had no choice but to gather troops under Duan Chengxuan's command.
For the time being, no one knew what happened.
