He slept peacefully, and when he woke up the next day, he would set out on his journey.
I heard that the godly stick had already escaped from the dungeon.
The distance from here to the Lai City was about a dozen miles. Gu Daiyan had always been leaning against the bed, holding onto the bed nervously. "I didn't know before that my mood would be this bad when I went back home to see my mother and father."
"Don't be afraid to knock on the door if you don't do something shameful. Who told you to do so many things on your own in Navy Tide? But Madame always dotes on you, so you should be even more careful of her majesty. " The ghost pulled the reins, and from afar, they could already see the city walls. It seemed that they were almost there.
She shrank her neck and decided to keep silent.
Even after confirming her identity, she was still told to walk through the gates one by one. After a careful inspection, she arrived at the city and discovered that it was not a complete military camp, but was instead split into two by a long street. The south side was well organized, while the north side was bustling with activity.
The soldier behind her who came in said softly, "There are only craftsman farmers in the city. Further ahead, there are still some fields. These shops are mostly for the soldiers' families, and the houses by the wall are where the soldiers live."
"Aren't you afraid that someone might want to ask about it?"
"If anyone wants to cross this street without being a soldier, kill them on the spot." The soldier behind said seriously, "The Crown Prince and the king are in the nearby courtyard. You can come and go as you wish, but you still need to check who's behind you."
Gu Daiyan nodded, smiled and patted the ghost's shoulder: "Do you want to come with me to see mother?"
"I'll go to His Highness the Crown Prince first. I've been looking for you on the way, and have a lot of things to attend to, so it's about time to inform him." Ghost shook his head, he did not want to see his wife lose her temper. According to his character, whether it was Yun Wan or Gu Daiyan, he would not be able to stop any of them.
"You have no sense of loyalty." Gu Liuyan pushed him and followed her to the prepared courtyard.
However, this was the first time she saw Qu Li in ordinary clothes. There wasn't much ornament on his hair, and he was currently playing with the medicinal ingredients in his hands while holding a book.
"Mother, father." Gu Danyan called out softly.
The two of them looked over at the same time, but only Yun Tong stood up and walked over. This shocking scene made Gu Pingyan subconsciously take a step back. Qu Li also stood up and said: "Don't argue with this child. She's too used to being alone."
"Just spoil her and let her be!" Yun Xiao angrily grabbed her wrist, Gu Liuyan was glad that Dong Ri's clothes could not touch her pulse, and obediently followed her in. However, her mother held her hand: "This hand is too cold, there's no chilblain on it."
"No." Gu Pingyan shook his head obediently. He took advantage of the fact that Yun Dian had yet to show his emotions, "I said to marry the Third Prince was just a temporary measure. I was just afraid that the fight for the throne would affect the Navy Tide Pass."
"Is it any of your business that you are always full of morality and benevolence? You are just a small doctor, if they want to fight over a few stinking men, then let them put their lives on the line, how can you possibly save them? " Cloud held her down.
"Yan'Er wants to meddle in the affairs of the country. This is a good thing. As long as you have the ability, I will help you. Who cares if you are a man or a woman." Qu Li stood up at this moment. "However, this matter has indeed been rushed. I should think about it more."
Gu Danyan quickly left Yun Xiao's side and ran to Qu Li's side, "Father's words are true. Next time, I will definitely think it over carefully. I definitely won't be this reckless."
Like Qing Yi, Gu Danyan was hiding behind him. He held his father's clothes and shrank back: "Besides, didn't I come back earlier myself? I wanted to spend the new year with mother."
"Little girl, you …" Yun Xiao had completely lost his temper. He then looked at Qu Li, "You two, get back to your old friends. I'll go look for Qu Hao. I've finally found the antidote for this poison."
"What poison?" What happened? " Gu Liuyan was curious.
"Someone poisoned the groundwater in Fringe City. Quite a few people and livestock were infected by it." Yun Wan stopped.
Poison from underground water again.
Gu Liuyan didn't want her mother to know that she had been to the city of Lai Xuan. Furthermore, her mother already knew the medicine, so she said softly, "Do you need my help?"
"There's no need. Your limbs are ice-cold. Just stay here and calm his heart. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the big picture in the future." Yun Dian turned his head and seemingly glared at Qu Li before leaving.
After Yun Xiao left, Gu Daiyan let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest and sat down.
Qu Li put down the book in his hands and turned around. "I heard that you've been doing quite a lot on your journey."
"Fortunately, since father gave me the position of princess, I naturally have to fulfill my duty." Gu Danyan stroked his long hair, his clear eyes filled with a smile.
Qu Li was speechless. His jaw was set so tight that he didn't know what to say in front of his daughter. He waited until Gu Qing Yan was right next to him, roasting his thoughts over the fire before opening his mouth and whispering, "Yan'Er, whoever you like, I'll let you marry."
"Why did father suddenly say all these?" Gu Liuyan was confused.
"If you had been born a man, I would have nurtured you wholeheartedly. However, you are my daughter, and no matter how strong or powerful you are, only a few people will be able to protect you in this lifetime. " Qu Li bravely stretched out his hand, and his warm one wrapped around his slightly callused hands, "Only your loved ones and friends, you will be able to travel alone in the vast ocean, all your friends will be married and won't be able to protect you. My mother and I will be a thousand miles away from you, and we won't be able to protect you.
Gu Danyan thought that a man like Qu Li would always be a bit of a male chauvinist. He even thought that Qu Li was trying to stop him from dating Duan Chengxuan.
But to his parents, the secular world was probably not even worth the happiness of a daughter.
"Thank you, Father, but there is no need for me to have any relationship with him." Gu Daiyan also smiled helplessly. She walked forward and put her arm around her father's neck, "I have worked my entire life. Who told me to stop? That would be worse than taking my life."
This time, Qu Li directly carried the girl in his arms. "Why is my daughter so light?"
"It's called lightness." Gu Liuyan corrected him with a smile. The father and daughter pair laughed softly, saving only this hug for a little longer.
Yun Qi and Qu Hao, who were outside, silently closed the door.
"Uncle's relationship with sister is so good all of a sudden. It's all thanks to you, Aunt Yun, getting angry on purpose." Qu Hao smiled as he took Yun Qi's arm, trying to curry favor with him.
Yun Dian helplessly patted Qu Hao's shoulder. He knew that this mature crown prince was only twenty years old. He said in a low voice, "Alright, rather than watching them getting along peacefully, why don't we investigate the person who poisoned them?"
"We don't even know where it started. But the poison has not dissipated yet, so it must have been used a lot. I will send someone to check who has left with a large amount of herbs." A cold glint flashed across Qu Hao's eyes.
