Ai Qi widened his eyes in disbelief. He didn't expect that someone would betray a good mother.

"This is not a threat, it's only a method of trusting each other. Even if I say something unpleasant, I know mother loves me more, but some loves will cause my vision to turn pitch black. In order to avoid mother and Duan Chengxuan's control, I'm only fighting for the freedom that belongs to me."

"If Madame knew, she would be hurt." Phantom looked at her with a dark face. "You also deceived Your Highness."

"Duan Chengxuan wouldn't be angry just because of this. He definitely did many things behind my back, such as roping you in, and also obtained the support of my mother and father. Moreover, guess which shop I handled, and he didn't do anything at all?" Gu Mingyan looked at them like they were children, "If you really count it, then mother didn't take me away to protect the children of the Wind Listening Pavilion all those years ago. Even grandfather was kept in the dark. Is this right?"

Phantom and Ai Qi were silent.

"Don't be a child. In this world, there is something more important than family love, but at the same time, there is nothing that can cut off one's emotions. As long as you have these ties and don't hurt them, mistakes and methods can be tolerated." Gu Liuyan stood up lazily. She rubbed her head when she passed by Ai Qi: "But I still like your simplicity."

It was just like how Gu Daiyan would never ask Qu Li about anything in her life.

Why was it that when she grew up in the Prime Minister's Estate, even after he had ascended to the throne, he had not caused a ripple to appear to find her?

She knew the answer was that the Emperor would not destroy his present foundation for his daughter while the court was still in a indeterminate situation. Qu Li even needed to protect Qu Hao, who had yet to grow up.

Everyone had their reasons for doing so. If she were to quibble about it, Gu Mingyan would never trust anyone else.

Ai Qi lifted his hand and touched the spot where he had rubbed it. He looked at the ghost and asked, "Has she always been so cold-blooded?"

"If she wasn't so smart, she wouldn't be so cold-blooded and heartless." Phantom Demon rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Some things can't be said so thoroughly, it makes me a little afraid of her."

"Maybe she even knows what color panties you're wearing today." Ai Qi stood up and walked out of the room without any change in his expression.

The ghost's body froze, only to hear a voice from far away, "I really do know."

"Shut up." Phantom Shadow chased after her angrily and patted the back of her head with his hand: "Aren't you afraid that Ai Qi won't cooperate with you after he knows about you?"

"It doesn't matter if she collaborates or not. Her current status is of no use to me at all." Gu Liuyan held onto her stomach as she looked at Aizi, who was leaving from the other side, and said in a low voice, "I just wanted to warn her that if she betrayed me, I would immediately know and have the ability to make her disappear in any corner of Aldan."

"More than once, I think you're terrible."

"Then don't be a snitch, I really will be angry." Gu Liuyan laughed and patted his back. Hearing his cough, she felt a little proud: "But what I said just now, it's true."

Ye Zichen walked towards his bedroom with his arms around his stomach.

The ghost recovered from his shock and looked at her somewhat clumsy back. His eyes, however, dimmed a little.

If the prince had treated her better in the Residence of Crown Prince, perhaps she wouldn't be so insecure right now.

He was actually scheming all the time.

However, the ghost had also noticed something. He found a guard beside him and said, "Write down all the words in the room and send some men to send to the mistress and to the prince. Tell them that Gu Daiyan will always think badly of the situation. She needs someone to accompany her."

"Yes, Lord Ghost." The guard slightly cupped his hands and asked, "But Your Highness doesn't seem to like the prince by her side."

"If this person had killed you before, no matter how rational you are, you would still be afraid." Ghost patted his shoulder and carefully followed Gu Danyan's movements, half supporting her forward: "Do you have any way to help your highness?"

"The people of Blackwater Town have already begun to act. They will serve Duan Chengxuan, and each and every one of the people of Navy Tide's martial world are ambitious. Xu Guiyi should have already persuaded them to act, and the sky at the Navy Tide's border will soon change." Gu Mingyan tilted her head to look at him, "Earlier, Xu Guiyi went to help the Fourth Prince amass wealth, so she had already done this in private. However, at that time, I was trying to prevent the Third Prince from trying to force him to usurp his position in a moment of desperation, and on the other hand, Navy Tide's army had already lost Duan Chenxuan's leadership.

The matter of Xu Hui was something from a few years ago, she had already forgotten about him.

"When did Blackwater contact us?"

"Even Qi Rou and Qi Lin didn't know about the news that I had secretly asked Yin Qiuyi to send over." Gu Liuyan clapped her hands with a smile. She tilted her head like a child and said: "I never do insignificant things."

Indeed, that was the case. The ghost swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and placed his other hand on her shoulder. "Since you've already done enough, shouldn't you take a break?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Daiyan stopped and waved his hand.

"You should be on guard with me." Ghost gestured with his hand, and his face darkened, "Everyone, you are not allowed to pass any more messages. Even if you are a passerby seeking shelter from the rain or water, you have to carefully investigate. I will handle all the notes and letters."

Gu Daiyan slightly widened his eyes. He had never thought that ghost would treat him like this: "I have the right to know about this!"

"If you let me know again, if you receive any more information, I will make everyone know that you might die. At that time, forget about the intelligence report, if the Madam and the Prince can let you leave, then it'll be your victory." Ghosts pinched her cheeks. "You said it yourself. Without hurting her feelings, all mistakes and methods are tolerable."

He had been rebelled against by a general!

"Who did you learn this from?" Gu Liuyan was extremely infuriated and could only watch helplessly as all the guards in the courtyard nodded. She didn't even know when the ghosts had gotten the rights from Duan Chengxuan.

"I learned it from you." Ghost rubbed her head and added, "Madam has long known that Liu has pledged her allegiance to you, so Madame has long accepted me as her godson. Say, do you think I have any right to control you now?"

"When!" Gu Danyan shouted.

"When the prince received the support of the madame, he decided to settle these matters." The ghost rubbed her hair and smiled, "Otherwise, as an outsider, how could His Highness the Crown Prince be at ease in handing everything over to me?"

"You double agent!" Gu Liuyan's face turned red.

"Take good care of the baby, Yan'Er." The ghost pulled her towards the bedroom, not even glancing at Mingyan's stinky expression.

As the saying goes, evil is one foot high, but dao is ten feet high.

A wicked person will have a wicked person to grind.
