C766

From the moment she was born, Duan Feng had always been different from her other brothers, be it her name or character.

Moreover, he had relied on his inmaturity as a prince to gain the favor of royal father many times, but unfortunately, royal father had never given him the slightest bit of authority, while his royal uncle and brothers were becoming more and more outstanding. Royal father had never seen him again, and had almost forgotten about him, the prince.

Only in front of Gu Cheng would he truly be a useful person.

However, he did not probe further until Gu Cheng spoke up in a soft voice, "Your mother is very similar to that woman from the Yun clan, but Duan Cong is worried that with her looks, she would attract trouble from the imperial harem. So up till now, the people of the palace have always said that you're truly a lowly servant that gave birth to a prince."

Duan Feng's throat tightened. He had once thought that these people were just provocative words from him when he wasn't favoured.

At this moment, Gu Cheng's gaze landed on Gu Danyan's face, "Not only that, the women of the Yun clan are mostly beautiful, and these peach blossom eyes are somewhat similar to your mother's …"

"Since my mother was similar to my father's beloved, my father should …"

"Right, Duan Cong's method of choosing to protect you and your son is to remove you from the struggle in the palace. You are not allowed to add the 'bear' character in your name, and you are not allowed to tell others that your own mother, who is a palace maid, is the Prime Minister's childhood sweetheart. Do you know how angry I get when I see her respectfully standing by Duan Cong's side every time I enter the palace?" Gu Cheng's fist was clenched so tightly that it creaked, while Yu Xuan, who was by her side, had her head lowered, her eyes dim, until she continued, "He would rather have your mother kneel to someone else than to give her a title. He only knows that as long as she gives birth to a prince, she will be able to remain in the palace for the rest of her life.

At the end of his words, the frost in his eyes had melted into crystal.

Duan Feng had never heard these people speak of this. She was not even Gu Cheng's son, but rather Navy Tide's prince.

"After your mother passed away, the empress dowager ordered someone to throw her into the unmarked grave, deciding to erase who your mother was. She found a concubine to take care of you, but when that concubine took care of you until you were three years old, her mother's family already knew that Duan Cong hoped that you would stay out of worldly affairs and let that concubine know that you were a useless prince. Thus, she abandoned you and instead expressed good will to the Second Prince."

"He is my royal father! How could he not have any expectations for me! " Duan Feng growled in disbelief.

"Because his beloved died because of his throne! Back then, if Duan Chengxuan was able to throw away that bitch Su Yu Wan and return to Sky Fire City, he would have ascended the throne as soon as possible! It was impossible for Duan Cong to be the emperor now, and he wouldn't see his beloved figure carrying the absurd idea that the emperor needed to grow leaves to scatter branches and give birth to children one after another! Yet now you still say shameless words about not killing each other! "

Saying so, Gu Cheng took a deep breath and was about to continue.

A soft female voice came from the side of his hand. "It sounds like the emperor is a real bastard."

Everyone was shocked, Gu Pingyan was just feeling the wet pillow, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be incomparably bright. She thought that one day she would wake up and her grandfather would seize the opportunity for her.

But he didn't expect to hear such a story.

"When did you wake up!" Duan Feng was covered in cold sweat from the shock of Gu Pingyan's words.

"At that time, you were still paying attention to me. Was it because of my eyes that looked somewhat similar to that of your lover?" Gu Daiyan continued to speak without a care. He looked at Gu Cheng with a complicated expression on his face, yet he still forcefully restrained his emotions.

"Since you're awake, why don't we make a deal?" Gu Cheng tried his best to remain calm as he spoke to her.

This woman was incomparable to the gentleness of the person he loved.

"That's why you gave birth to so many children and became the emperor as well. Now you still want to obtain Duan Cong's method of immortality, which has never been obtained by any of her ancestors, just for the sake of being unwilling to lose to Duan Cong in the past. and I hope that all of the crimes will be blamed on Duan Cheng Xuan and Su Yu Wan. Gu Liuyan struggled to support himself on the bed as he looked at Gu Cheng: "Did you injure your mother's face because it was a little similar?" "But mother also fell in love with someone else. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left mother …"

"Pa ~ ~" The resounding slap on the face brought everyone back to reality from the enchanting words.

Gu Danyan's head tilted to the side before falling back onto the bed. Her messy hair was stuck to her cheeks, but her eyes were still bright as she stared at Gu Cheng. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"I should ruin your face." As she said this, Duan Feng took out the dagger at Yu Hong's waist.

However, the eyes continued to stare at him, and he smiled. "Who isn't?"

"What nonsense are you spouting again …" Duan Feng saw with her own eyes that Gu Cheng's hand had already stopped moving.

"I studied hard on the medical books and practiced my blade techniques until I transformed, but I could only see those people closing their eyes forever in front of me. Even though most of them were still alive, I also felt that I had not done enough. I have to do more than I did before, just as I am now in your hands. " Gu Daiyan slowly closed her eyes. She had never thought that she would speak in such a manner in front of an enemy, but the silence in her ears allowed her to slowly open her eyes. She leaned against the bedside and looked at him, "Raise my status and value."

"You slut …" Before Duan Feng could finish his words, Gu Cheng's actions of lifting her hand stopped him in her throat.

Gu Cheng was still grasping the dagger in his hand as he sneered, "So you want to say that you've given up on saving people one by one and have instead chosen to borrow from all forces to save even more people? Don't you think that's laughable?"

"If you think it's laughable, why didn't you just kill me or make me become Duan Feng's subordinate?" Gu Liuyan could not muster up any strength at the moment, even his complacent laughter could be heard. Even so, Gu Cheng still wore a pained expression on his face. After pondering for some time, he finally spoke: "Mu Qing has escaped."

"However, he has never escaped from my side. I can do even more, and you, no matter what, still have to have requests from me for the sake of your unwillingness and ambition, but at the same time, not only did I not take revenge and choose to kill you, I even hoped for others to save you back then." That's why you treat me like a prisoner.

Gu Liuyan thought like this, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Gu Cheng fell into deep thought, "You do indeed have the qualifications to do so. Moreover, right now, you're the biggest bargaining chip in my hands."

"It will also be your biggest obstacle, or a way to push the hand away." Gu Liuyan smiled lightly and shifted her body with difficulty: "The reason why Mu Qing could run is because Su Yuwan is the second person to know the truth about the Eternal Mystery. There are already four people who know everything."
