C674

No one knew how the group of black clothed soldiers had quietly left this place.

Gu Liuyan was taken away without leaving any clues or traces. The heavy rain covered his smell and his whereabouts.

However, Gu Daiyan also woke up to the sound of rain. He was not in the bumpy carriage, but was lying flat on his bed, beside the bed stood two soldiers dressed in black with their masks ripped off. Both of them had terrifying scars on their women's faces, and when she woke up, they could only stare at her.

"Go buy some food." One of the women gave the order to the other woman, and slowly knelt down beside the bed. Her fingertips brushed away Gu Daiyan's quilt, touching the cold chain that connected her ankles, and she said with an ice-cold voice, "We hope that Your Highness will be safe."

"I also hope that I can successfully give birth to a child." Gu Liu Yan curled her lips. Her bulky lower abdomen made it hard for her to breathe. No familiar feeling came from her surroundings. She only let one of her hands gently calm the little guy in her stomach. She took a few deep breaths and continued: "How did you knock down ghosts?"

"He only used some despicable methods, she was more willing to meddle in other people's business than you imagined." The cold woman finally raised a mocking smile, "Similarly, Your Highness, you are only a mission to us, maybe when the time comes you will still need to think about requesting our help."

"It seems that you like your master very much." She half propped herself up, and the iron chain on her ankle knocked against the bed. She only moved her body a little and sneered: "But I really don't know which blind person would like me, not to mention the fact that I am still pregnant with a child."

The woman frowned as if she was angered. She held onto the edge of the bed and stood up. "I hope you will not regret it then."

"Of course I won't regret it." Gu Liuyan proudly raised her chin, looking at the woman's leaving figure: "If you don't have the ability here, I will die with my child. I'm not alone at all."

The woman stopped and turned around.

Gu Liuyan only lifted up the lapels of his shirt to reveal the lines beneath: "If you don't tell me who the person is behind this, or what you want me to do, I won't take the antidote. I won't say anything."

"We have brought all the herbs and prescriptions from your backyard." The woman scoffed.

"You can try." Gu Danyan also looked at her calmly: "Since I was able to follow you here so calmly, I naturally knew that you wouldn't hurt me and would extend my life. After all, I have a lot of chips with me."

The woman stayed where she was the entire time. The person who had left earlier also came in with food. They looked at each other and said in a softer voice, "Our master hopes that you can give birth to your child safely."

"Are you sure he won't kill the child in my womb?" Gu Danyan waved to her and waited for the dishes to be served to her. He then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I seem to know who your master is now."

The two women stared blankly for a moment before leaving without a word.

She was left alone in the room.

After the two of them left, Gu Danyan immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and lifted the quilt. She looked at the length of the chain, which was only enough for her to sit on the edge of the bed.

The rain outside the window never stopped, and she had no idea how long she had been asleep.

The back of her neck didn't have any aching pain. It should be something similar to knockout drugs, or perhaps she really had slept for too long.

A gap had been opened in the distant window, and two people could faintly be seen standing under the eaves.

Gu Danyan returned to the bed and angrily pushed the dishes out. She was helpless against the slight pain in her lower abdomen. When that happened, both of her legs would be swollen like radishes.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman who delivered the food walked in. She only took a glance at the untouched food and knelt down as well, looking at her from beside the bed. "If you don't eat, your body won't be able to take it."

"Unless you answer my question first and tell me who your master is, or the reason why you have tied me up here." Gu Daiyan also did not see his Cloud Scar.

The woman laughed softly, "You don't know our master, but I need your help to bring you here. For example, are you able to live forever because of what Tyrant did and where is the Yun Family's elixir of longevity?"

After all, these ambitious people were already thinking about how to live forever even before they were all done with their own lives.

Gu Liuyan chuckled. She was slightly relieved as she continued: "I did not know that Tyrant helped me back then, but I am still trying to get the medicine passed down from the Yun Family ancestors. I can work for your master, but at the same time, I also want to get the herbs I need. And, when my child is down, you must send someone to send him back to Duan Chenxuan."

"I'm just a servant." The girl smiled indifferently and helped her change the cold food into warmth. Then, she left without looking back.

Outside the door, several black clothed soldiers were gathered, but the entire courtyard was exceptionally quiet.

Outside of this so-called courtyard, there was still a forest that was so deep it could not be seen.

After leaving Gu Danyan's room, only seven or eight people were left standing guard, while the other group followed the woman who brought food to the forest outside of the courtyard. Standing in the torrential rain, they could hide what they were saying even more.

"Your Highness is too calm, we should put her in elder sister's hands as soon as possible." The woman passed the jade bottle to them, "Not only that, I recently noticed that the Zhu Family members are a little restless. If possible, it's best to kill them all. Just bring that thing back."

Gu Liuyan sat on the edge of the bed inside the room, fidgeting as he rubbed his bulky belly.

If it wasn't Gu Cheng or Ai Yan, then who was this person who wanted the Eternal Life Medicine Recipe?

While he was lost in thought, lightning streaked across the sky and the door was pushed open once again.

The woman who entered just now respectfully walked in and knelt not too far away from her.

Gu Danyan looked at her actions and his pupils contracted. His fingertip unconsciously touched the palm that Yun Yi had left behind a few moments ago – the wound there had almost fully healed.

The woman lowered her head. "Your Highness, we will personally take you to …"

"Does your master really only want to live forever?" Gu Liuyan smiled and tilted his head. His fingertips touched the corner of his mouth as he said, "Maybe I'll be able to guess your master's identity soon."

The woman pretended to be indifferent and remained unmoved. "We will escort you to a safer place."

Before he lost consciousness the next time, a familiar name flashed across his mind.
