She gripped the token tightly, and the fine lines on it were about to be branded on her palm.
After a long period of silence, Ai Qi raised his head and looked at Gu Danyan, "You said that you would help me when I need my assistance?"
"It depends on whether you want merit points or family reputation." Gu Danyan picked up the medical book and looked at it. He still had some peeled peanuts on the table.
She was not a woman of this era, so naturally, she did not have the loyalty these girls had in mind. Or perhaps, she was a stubborn fool who would stay wherever she wanted to find a suitable place to stay.
But Aizi held onto his identity card, turning it over and over in his mind.
The room became quiet, the rain outside the window became even louder, but the mansion guards caught a few students who liked to play in the rain. Gu Daiyan had no choice but to send someone to tidy up a room, watch them carefully, and wait for their parents to come pick them up.
His heart, however, still felt a little uneasy.
Gu Danyan looked out of the window with a look of realization on his face, and was slightly lost in thought.
At the entrance of the Zhou Mansion, however, two people with excuses to avoid the rain stood under the eaves of the house.
The rain was too heavy. It lasted for three whole days before it started to clear up.
She lit up a brazier in the spring day and had layers upon layers of cushions on her knees. As for Ai Zhi, she was not very familiar with these medical knowledge, so it was even more difficult for him to help her. She could only imitate the movements of Duan Chenxuan massaging previously and help her a little.
"Those kids are coming over in a while. Are you feeling better?" Ike asked her.
"It's much better now, but I'll definitely not move a muscle. In a while, get someone to investigate the movements of Er Dan. I'll find a good opportunity for you to leave." Gu Liuyan nodded, but one of her arms was tapping on her thigh. She looked tired and a trace of unwillingness could be seen on her face: "This big belly is indeed a bit ugly, I suddenly don't want to have children anymore."
"Who's pregnant isn't like this, and your stomach is already considered small." Archie rolled his eyes and put her leg down.
Gu Liuyan pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
After a while, a guard came to send her to the academy to sit down. Aizi watched her back from a distance, listening to the children and workers huddled together to ask questions, his heart in a daze.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, had never wanted to be a man.
But she thought.
Tightly clenching his fists, he wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, he saw a figure walking over from the back door. The man facing him had already pulled down his black mask, passed through the long corridor, and directly walked to Gu Tinyan's side and sat cross-legged beside him. The nearby children were sent away by Gu Mingyan to write, so she poured a cup of tea and passed it to him: "What did Duan Chengxuan want you to do?"
"The Prince only asked me to keep an eye on Lai Xuan's movements. He also asked me for my opinion on the way." Phantom Demon placed the empty cup onto the table. Gu Pingyan simply stuffed a jug of water into his arms and stared at him for a while, but Phantom Demon still took a big gulp from the jug.
"You still want to open the academy now, but the Prince didn't stop you?" The ghost looked at the dense writing of the adult and child in front of him and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. What if there were some bad people mixed within?
"He does want me to let him have his way." Gu Liuyan picked up the kettle and lowered his head: "If someone really wants to do something to me, I can't open the school and they will all do it, why should I just sit there and wait for death? I might as well do what I want and leave no regrets in the future."
"I have written to the Lady and Your Majesty." Phantom propped himself up on the floor, folded his arms, and leaned against the fence behind him. "I can't stop you," he said.
"You didn't discuss it with me this time." Gu Liuyan's fingertip trembled slightly. He didn't know what his mother would say when she saw him like this.
"This time is not the same. If you cause trouble again, I will protect you."
"Traitor." Gu Danyan lightly kicked him: "Scram into the shower, if I get scolded at that time, don't think you can get away with it."
"How did you learn to use your hands and feet just like that?" The ghost pretended to be kicked to the ground and slipped away, disappearing without a trace. The cold look on its face was replaced by An Xin's.
Gu Liuyan also laughed softly and continued to teach the children.
However, she couldn't help but be curious in her heart. Duan Cheng Xuan cared so much about her, but she currently possessed six ranks. Even if someone really wanted to attack her, could it be that he was prepared to kill her with a corpse? Moreover, his biggest rival should still be peacefully lying in the dungeons of Prince Jing's mansion.
She had always been unable to wrap her head around who Duan Cheng Xuan wanted her to be wary of.
Yun Wan got up early in the morning and as usual, went to Qu Li's side to eat breakfast before going back to busy with the Wind Listening Pavilion's matters. Perhaps it was to help Qu Hao settle some trivial matters, but today was a little different.
The carrier pigeon, which had folded its wings, landed obediently on her wrist. The bamboo tube beside her feet was wrapped in two layers of red strings.
This meant that the ghost had sent a message. If it was a circle, it would be news about Qu Hao or Gu Daiyan.
After taking off the small bamboo tube, the grey carrier pigeon flew up into the sky with her flapping wings, and after circling above her head twice, it slowly flew away from the courtyard. Qu Li, who was busy taking time off from his work, saw the carrier pigeon and asked, "Is it Yan'Er or a ghost?"
Yun Wan didn't say a word the whole time. Even though Qu Li was separated by that layer of black cloth, he could feel that something was wrong.
Walking around the table, just as he stopped beside Yun Qi, the piece of paper was slammed against his chest, "Yan'Er is pregnant! It will be born in a few months! She doesn't tell us anything! "
These three sentences were like three bolts of thunder that struck Qu Li's heart. He helplessly opened the letter. Although the ghost did not explain the details, when he saw that the child was Duan Chengxuan's, he could not help but feel an uncontrollable pain in his temples.
He shouldn't have believed this man before!
"I'll go look for Duan Chengxuan now …"
"What's the use of searching for him? We should rejoice that Yan'Er is still here. Right now, she's entrusting all of her immortality to himself. What if Gu Cheng takes advantage of the opportunity to make a move on her …" The more Yun Wan spoke, the more worried he became.
Lightly holding Yun Tong's hand, Qu Li was worried that someone like Gu Cheng would try to do something no matter what.
"I'll send someone to take care of her now."
"I'll personally lead the way." Yun Wan withdrew her hand, grabbed Qu Li's identity token and walked out, summoning her hands.
Looking at his empty palm, Qu Li's face darkened.
When will Qu Hao inherit the throne!?
He had to take off the Emperor's clothes and teach this beast, Duan Chenxuan, a good lesson!
