Qing Xin carefully opened up the small wooden sculpture on the red rope around Gu Pingyan's wrist.
In the middle was a piece of lead gray jade dragon snow. Previously, when he was trapped, his great-grandfather had confirmed this matter with his mother, and now he only took a small piece of it and placed it in the accessories his mother had taken off earlier — almost all of these accessories had come from his grandfather's Qu Li.
The woman on the bed didn't seem to want to wake up. Qing Shui rubbed his eyes that were hurting from crying and gently held Gu Liuyan's cold hand. He placed Yu Long Xue by her nose as instructed by her grandfather and said softly, "Mother, wake up quickly. We should go home earlier …"
The guard outside the door could clearly hear his soft voice.
It was just a few childish words. What's more, what could a child that was not even ten years old do? He did not even grow up by Gu Danyan's side.
When Gu Cheng arrived, the guard then straightened his back in alarm. When he was questioned, he only said, "These are all words spoken by some children that they want to see their mother, and then they heard the sound of water being poured. That child said he wants to be fed."
"Open the door." Gu Cheng said with a gloomy expression.
The guard hastily took out the key to open the door. Gu Cheng Fang walked in and saw Qing Qing carefully trying to feed Gu Pingyan some water. Unfortunately, the sleeping man did not notice this and the water spilled onto the pillow, leaving behind a large amount of water stains. Qing Yi was also panicking as she moved to the corner of the bed. She even pulled the woman on the bed backwards.
If there was any other way to restrain Gu Danyan, he could only use both hard and soft means.
Clearing his throat, Gu Cheng arched his back slightly, appearing just like the father he had been when he had acted out in Gu Liuyan's mind all those years ago. With a gentle smile, he walked to the side of the bed and looked at his son, "Based on seniority, you should address me as grandfather instead."
"My grandfather was not a Navy Tide." On the other hand, Qing Qing grabbed Gu Daiyan's arm and pulled her towards the side of the bed.
"You know that I'm Navy Tide?" Gu Cheng's eyes lit up slightly, but his hand, which had been placed by the side of the bed, clenched into a fist.
"You Dan's men will be more confident than Navy Tide's men, and even their women will always stand up straight. Bowing and kneeling will only make people feel shame, and I've heard my mother say that you're a bad person." On the other hand, Qingze had a pair of round, round eyes, but the words he spoke made him sound like an adult.
Gu Cheng's expression instantly turned extremely unsightly. Behind him, Yu Hong raised his hand to catch him, while Qing Qing straightened his neck and said, "Father also said that people are born dead. If I die today, mother and father will definitely not let you off!"
As expected of a child taught by Duan Cheng Xuan!
Lifting his hand to block Yu Hong's path, Gu Cheng restrained the benevolence on his face and said coldly, "Since that's the case, I'll send you back with a letter to your father. Tell him that your mother is in my hands."
"My lord!" Yu Hong was shocked, didn't that mean he was exposed!
"Shut up! Do you think that since Duan Chengxuan has done so many things, he would realize that it's only a matter of time before he discovers that we're here? It's not like he wants to make a deal with him, since he's not the person who is fighting for the throne anyway! " Gu Cheng roared loudly. Ignoring Yu Hong's attempts to stop him, he stuffed Qing Shui into the arms of Eunuch Wu amidst his wails. "Give him back to Duan Chengxuan to show your sincerity! "Tell Duan Chengxuan again that if he still wants to see Gu Liuyan return unharmed, then help me seize the throne."
"King Jing should …"
"If he really didn't have that kind of courage, then how did he single-handedly eliminate all of the imperial court's henchmen and bring Su Yu Wan to a flimsy place in Sky Flame City?" At the end of the day, Duan Chenxuan is just a prince whose mind has been blown away by his beauty. " Gu Cheng almost pointed at Eunuch Wu and Yu Hong's noses and scolded them.
Regardless of whether the matter regarding Duan Chengxuan's poisoning was real or not, just based on this child's performance just now, Gu Cheng was able to determine that this child was not someone who was easy to deal with. If he didn't find an opportunity to take advantage of, then he would be a disaster in the future — — And it was precisely because Gu Cuiyan still couldn't really do anything to this child!
Being controlled by others like this, Gu Cheng would rather make the first move to gain the upper hand.
It was best to wait for Duan Cheng Xuan to personally come knocking on her door.
Eunuch Wu could be considered to be one of the people by Duan Chengrui's side. He had heard about the matter of Duke Jing insisting on bringing Su Yuwan back, not to mention that he had already done many ridiculous things for the sake of a woman. He probably didn't lack this one item, so he quickly left with Uncle Qing.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to give a few extra taels of silver to the shop owner who had clearly seen their faces.
As for Qing Qing, he was crying non-stop. Eunuch Wu was afraid that his subordinates would neglect his. If this child were to be brought before Duan Cheng Xuan due to some injuries, wouldn't he be courting death?
Meanwhile, only Yuhong remained by Gu Cheng's side. At this moment, he was sitting on the edge of Gu Daiyan's bed, listening to Gu Cheng's instructions: "Feng'er is very impatient, and Yun Qingyang isn't a good person. These few days, bring two maidservants with you and look after her properly.
"This subordinate understands." Yu Hong cupped his hands and nodded.
After tidying up everything, Gu Cheng left. However, before he had even taken a few steps, Duan Feng, who had just woken up once, charged straight at him. He grabbed the front of his clothes, saying coldly, "Where's Mu Qing!"
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment before saying in a low voice, "What's going on?!"
"I just went downstairs to eat and saw your people looking for Mu Qing! If Mu Qing is gone, then what is the use of Gu Pingyan leaving him in our hands! " Seeing that Gu Cheng's face was similarly filled with shock, Duan Feng flung him to the side and walked directly towards Gu Danyan's room. She looked at the woman who had not breathed from beginning to end and angrily said, "If she hadn't known about the matter of immortality, then perhaps we wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble today. It's not like you don't know how much trouble Duan Chengxuan has caused!"
Each of Duan Feng's words seemed to have shaken Gu Cheng awake from his stupor.
Gu Cheng's gaze landed on the incredibly familiar face of Gu Pingyan. Only then did he look at Duan Feng's face, which was somewhat similar to the one in his memories, before slamming the door shut.
Accustomed to Gu Cheng's retreat and connivance, Duan Wan who was used to it shrunk her neck in fright.
He looked at Duan Feng with a cold and sinister gaze: "You don't know at all how many people the Yun Family has killed since their appearance. You don't even know that your mother didn't die in childbirth, it was all done by your cowardly royal father who had no sense of responsibility at all. You shouldn't have thought of how to lower your head to Duan Chengxuan, instead, you went to Duan Cong to take back your mother! Your mother who died because of the Yun family! "
Gu Cheng's enraged expression was even more terrifying than the silent Duan Chengxuan.
At this moment, he subconsciously took a step back. However, his dignity as a prince forced him to stand firmly in front of Gu Cheng, "My mother died in childbirth, what does that have to do with them …"
"Because Duan Cong gave up everything for the sake of his beloved girl and took everything that should have belonged to your mother and me for the sake of the throne." A self-deprecating chuckle escaped Gu Cheng's throat.
