Gu Mingyan had originally planned to stay for another two days before leaving. On the morning of the next day, after finally falling asleep, she heard the door open. She immediately opened her eyes from her shallow sleep, threw on her clothes and hurried out.
When she saw the soldiers standing at the entrance of the city, Lai Xuan was already standing at the forefront, fully dressed. "Prince Lai Dan wishes for you to return."
As she spoke, she handed over a letter to her.
Gu Ming glanced at the tobacco plant, and his words were filled with worry and blame.
Thinking about it, it couldn't possibly be something written by Qu Hao, it should be because Yun Dian was anxious about it, so he calmly nodded, changed his clothes and left with Lai Xuan.
It was likely that the letter had arrived a few days ago. The Emperor was waiting for her to arrive before he decided to let her leave just like that.
It was likely that this was also due to the fact that the thousand war horses were quite strong for Jiang Yan. Although it would arouse displeasure if she handed all of this over to Lai Xuan, the emperor would similarly choose to weaken the Ai family by helping Lai Xuan ascend the throne, using this as a counterbalance.
Gu Liuyan had only guessed half of it, with the other half needing to be dealt with by Gu Cheng.
Along the way, he was escorted by Lai Xuan himself, while Ai Qi obediently stayed by Lai Xuan's side. He didn't forget to return to see Mu Qing.
It was another bumpy trip. Gu Tinyan felt that he had a headache more and more frequently these days.
However, no matter how much he tried to find the cause of the disease, it was because he had too little sleep and had to worry about too many things.
After being escorted back to the Erdan territory, Qu Hao's army brought her to a city that he had never been to before.
The atmosphere here seemed to be more lively. Gu Pingyan was sent to the mansion, but he did not see anyone around him, so he had to sleep in his room early.
When Yun Dian and Qu Li came in, the ghost outside the door made a silencing gesture, "She went to sleep."
Qu Li was extremely dissatisfied with his daughter, and wanted to teach her a lesson. Yun Qi, who was standing beside her, pushed her away and whispered, "Yan'Er rarely gets a good night's sleep, don't disturb her."
Ghosts and Qu Li both looked at her.
Where had the irritable lady, who had solemnly vowed to teach her daughter a lesson last night, gone to?
Yun Dian unceremoniously waved his hand. He lightly pushed open the door and entered, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for her to wake up.
Gui Li quickly retreated. Seeing Qu Li's worried expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Madam's matters, or about Yan'Er?"
"Both." Qu Li sighed. "Both mother and daughter are worrying about this, but what should we do?"
"If Yan'Er woke up and knew that you cut Duan Chengxuan up, I'm afraid that I don't know how he would treat you." He splashed cold water on the table.
Qu Li glared angrily at the ghost, but the ghost quickly ran away, not intending to join in on other people's business.
Gu Moyan slowly woke up. After an hour and a half, the only thing she could see was the outline of the bed.
He only smelled that light and elegant fragrance and knew that it was Yun Dian. He only raised his hazy hand and placed it on Yun Dian's leg. He rubbed it against the corner of her clothes. "Mother."
When he heard this slightly nasal voice of his mother, the depression in Yun Wan's heart disappeared without a trace. Even the remaining anger was greatly reduced. He only rubbed his soft hair. "With mother here, you actually went to sleep in broad daylight."
"I knew this place was safe, so I wanted to sleep." Gu Liuyan closed his eyes again. It was a rare moment of comfort.
"I only slept for two hours." Yun Xiao saw the dark green glint in her eyes and frowned slightly. "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in Jiang Yan's day."
"I can't sleep anywhere, but it's safer here." Gu Danyan chuckled and held onto his mother's fingertips like a child: "Only mother never schemed against me."
"But you schemed against many people, and yet you never schemed against your mother, much less told her." As he spoke till here, Yun Que became a little more angry and lightly patted her shoulder. "Every time you do something, you are this reckless. You ignore your own life and can only make mother worry for nothing.
After being slapped like this, Gu Danyan became a bit more clear-headed: "I thought my mother and His Majesty still had a lot of important things to say, so I didn't want to make things difficult for my mother. Furthermore, in detail, I even used my biological father.
These words were clearly a question, but Gu Danyan was smiling. He was sure that his mother wouldn't hate him.
The truth was indeed like this, Yun Wan was just helpless as she said, "I can only use the word 'honest' to describe it. However, in this world, there is no way I can survive without a weapon when I am born. I can only use my parents to grow up, and in the future, I will need to bring my children to their deaths."
"Since that's the case, daughter is relieved." Gu Danyan smiled as she crawled up from the bed and leaned on Yun Tong's shoulder, "It has been a long time since I last saw mother. Mother is much better with her by His Majesty's side. Have the excuses from back then been solved?"
"You still haven't told me about the matter between you and Duan Chengxuan, but you're actually asking about the affairs of the Lord." Yun Que glared at her, lightly patted her head, and angrily said: "I see that Duan Cheng Xuan is like Qu Li, domineering and overbearing, and still doesn't know how to repent. How could you be together with him?"
"Is he similar to the Emperor?" Gu Danyan held his forehead in confusion. After thinking about it carefully, they indeed had some similarities. At this moment, he laughed: "I haven't been with him yet, I'm just trying to solve this disaster together. Mother, don't worry."
Having received the consent of her daughter, Yun Wan relaxed. Before she could speak, the door was pushed open again.
Qu Li walked in quickly and saw the mother and daughter pair leaning against the bed. His heart that had been tightly clenched for many years also calmed down. He finally understood why Yun Que could not speak any harsh words to his daughter and hurriedly walked up, but he was stopped by Yun Qu, "What are you doing here?"
"Naturally, I'm here to visit Yan'Er." Qu Li instead spoke softly and softly to Yun Mu, feeling his daughter's innocence after seeing her again. He only felt a surge of anger. "You went to Jiang Yan by yourself and only made your mother worry for you. Don't do this again in the future."
Gu Liuyan only stealthily glanced at Yun Ling, and then lightly tugged on the fabric on her back as if she was asking a question.
"It's not your turn to say anything. You haven't done your duty as a father all these years, yet now you're criticizing your daughter, or are you saying that you're only satisfied if you want to tie your daughter to your side the way you did in the past?"
Initially, Gu Danyan thought that it was because of the old story, she got up and wanted to stop him, but Qu Li rubbed his head and replied, "How could I dare? It was just that you said last night that you wanted to teach Yan'Er a lesson …"
"I was just casually saying that. I think it's because you want to teach Yan'Er a lesson."
When the two of them met, it was as if they had a falling out. Only when Yun Qu saw Qu Li, did he continue to act so aggressively. Qu Li, who was usually so domineering, had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly in agreement.
Only after the two of them had finished arguing did they realize that their daughter had disappeared from the bed. Yun Wan immediately glared at her. "It's all your fault. Since when did you start making noise? Why are you making a ruckus now?"
"My fault, my fault." Qu Li quickly comforted his son, thinking that this was an unexpected calamity.
