The drink-reeking Ghost Teacher instantly became clear-headed. His originally chaotic eyes instantly turned bright as he stared coldly at Lian Fengyue. The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.
Suddenly, Feng Yue felt a chill coming from the bottom of her feet. Her entire body turned cold and she shuddered, "Your … Your Highness … "This, this is?"
Suppressing her fear, Lian Feng Yue looked at Gu Yan Nian and carefully smiled while pointing at the ghost teacher.
This old man with white hair and beard, dressed in coarse hemp and exuding a strong smell of alcohol, was no different from the beggars on the street.
But...
However, the aura emitted from his body made it so that no one dared to underestimate him.
Gu Qingyi was brought home by Gu Yinian himself. Although she vaguely heard that she had been adopted when she was in exile in the past, she still hadn't been able to find out who had adopted her. It wasn't that she didn't care, but the people around Gu Yinian were all tight-lipped. Whether it was coercion or temptation, as long as Gu Yinian didn't allow them to say anything, they wouldn't say anything.
Furthermore, she had been encountering all sorts of troublesome matters in succession recently. Since she couldn't take care of herself, she naturally didn't have the time to ask about Gu Qingyi's past situation.
However …
However, tell her that this old man was not simple.
"He is the current Godly Doctor Ghost Teacher. He was the one who adopted Qing Yi that year. "The royal grandmother doted on Qing Yi and specially sent people to search everywhere for him. It wasn't easy to find him." This was truly a useless thing. Xuanyuan Jing glanced at Feng Yue as a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. Then, with a faint smile, he pointed at the ghost teacher and introduced him with a grateful expression.
Initially, he still had the mindset of trying to rope even Feng Yue in. Putting aside everything else, just Gu Yinian alone would not be able to compare to so many people.
Since the death of Princess An Ping, Gu Yinian had never continued playing. He only had one son left on his knees, and that was Gu Xi.
Although Gu Xi was only born out of a bastard, no one said anything on the surface, but they were all very clear in their hearts. They were afraid that sooner or later, the Gu King's Manor would be in Gu Xi's hands, and everything about the so-called mother and child being expensive was only a matter of time.
He had always liked this sort of thing where one added flowers to the flowers.
All of this was obvious. He only needed to say a few words to make them feel grateful to him. Would he be afraid that they would not obediently stand by his side in the future?
However, from the looks of it …
He didn't miss the killing intent that flashed through Gu Yinian's eyes.
She really was a useless woman. She had played a good game of chess and yet, she had courted her own death.
"Godly Doctor, please save Qing Yi. Seeing that she's been with you for so many years, please save her!" No matter how unhappy Gu Yinian was, he couldn't show it now. He could only beg Ghost Teacher to save someone with tears in his eyes. The most important thing right now was Gu Qingyi. The Heavenly Palace had been busy these past few days, and their families were all on the verge of becoming too big of a hospital, but all the imperial physicians were helpless to do anything about it.
And that damnable Lian Fengyue …
Normally, he would have thought that Ye Zichen was a smart person, but who would have thought that … He didn't expect that he would always do such foolish things during this period of time …
This time, not only Prince Lian's manor was implicated, but also Prince Jing and the Ghost Teacher.
Others might not know how difficult it was to deal with the Ghost Teacher, but he knew it very well!
Offending the first two would at most put him in a spot in front of the emperor. Gu Yinian had seen all sorts of troubles in many years, so he was naturally not afraid … But this damned teacher was different …
