In an instant, Gu Leyan felt as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. If she hadn't pressed herself against the door, she might have collapsed to the ground.

However …

But how was that possible?

This was clearly nothing, it was clearly a lie made up by that little slut, something about Xuanyuan Lian sending medicine to her all night long … This was something that simply did not exist, it was simply a lie. However, not only did my royal father not expose him, he even … Instead, she said that she would thank Xuanyuan Lian...

Immediately, Gu Huayan felt her entire body turning ice-cold, and a wave of cold air rose from the bottom of her feet.

At this moment, there was only one voice in her mind: It's over, it's all over!

Yes, that's it.

How could this be?

He didn't expect that even his father would agree.

What midnight delivery... This way …

Suddenly … Gu Leyan felt her entire body go soft and her mind go blank …

Although she didn't have an old man like Su mama who was proficient in all sorts of things to teach her, she still … However, she had grown up in the King's Manor since she was a child, and the education she received was not lacking either. She was very clear in her heart about the outcome of what Gu Qingyi had said just now.

In other words, they were just similar in age to each other.

But... However, if you were to say that it was bigger, it would be … That was …

Men and women shouldn't touch each other!

Right, men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other. Since the ancient times, that girl was only seven years old.

Even though they had grown up together, they weren't very particular about these things.

However, that was only when several people were together. Even if they wanted to meet in private, they would still have to wait on a bunch of maids and wives. If they couldn't handle this situation well, it would lead to misunderstanding from others.

Therefore, even though she had known Mushroom Yao, Xuanyuan Lian, since a young age, she would not rashly meet them without Gu Xi present. Her reason for doing so was just to be safe. She was well aware of her own identity. The only thing she could take advantage of was a good reputation.

As a result, these past few years, she had been planning her own reputation. No matter how angry she was in front of others, she would maintain a dignified appearance.

She knew clearly in her heart that she had no other choice …

Although he was in the Prince Gu's estate, to put it nicely, he was Prince Gu's adopted daughter. To put it harshly … Hehe … He was just an outsider who was being loaned a place to live … Even the concubine's concubine was not as beautiful as the concubine …

If … If she was also Prince Gu's own daughter, even if she was only a concubine, she wouldn't have to be so submissive.

She could also be like Gu Qingyi and do whatever she wanted, not caring about the opinions of others at all.

But she couldn't … She had to be careful to stay alive and plan things out step by step. Only then would she be able to get what she wanted.

But... But all of this...

"Slut, slut, little slut, damnable little slut …"

Laughter could be heard continuously from within, as if they were happily chatting, but … At this moment, Gu Huayan was no longer able to listen. Her heart had long since been filled with rage … Right now, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was … She had painstakingly run this business for so many years, but it was all ruined by that little slut …

He had been planning step by step for so many years. He thought that as long as he was careful, there would be a day where his wish would come true, but … But now, it was destroyed by that little slut's chatroom.

Gu Qingyi felt hatred in her heart.

He was so angry that he forgot to restrain himself for a moment. Suddenly, he punched the door heavily …

Suddenly …

She was shocked, and her first reaction was to run.

She couldn't be discovered by the people inside, but she didn't know if it was because she had been standing for too long, but her legs were spasming. Just as she moved her legs away, her body went limp and she almost fell down.

Fortunately, the door opened from the inside and a hand grabbed her.

"Eh? Big Sister Huaiyan? Why are you here? Why didn't you come in? We were talking about you just now. "

Gu Qingyi grabbed Gu Huaiyan and looked at her innocently. A trace of pride flashed in her eyes.

Tsk tsk, he was right. It seemed like this Gu Huayan was really not simple. Even his father had someone planted beside him. He had merely tried it, but he had never expected her to be afraid of throwing a rat.

However, she did not expect Gu Huayan to be so impatient and come running over so quickly.

This was good as well. There were some things that needed to be decided decisively so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I... "I …"

Inside the room, three pairs of eyes were staring at her, especially at the gloomy eyes of Gu Yan Nian. Gu Huaiyan could only tremble in fear.

His face was pale and his body was trembling. He couldn't say a word.

She felt as if her mind had gone blank, as if she had completely lost the ability to think.

"Aiya, the prince and the princess are here as guests. We were talking about you just now." You grew up together with the crown prince, a childhood sweetheart. The crown prince told me last time that you were here. "Just as we were talking about this just now, I didn't expect you to come at such a short time. It's really just the devil, the devil actually arrives."

The corner of her mouth raised, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks. A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled, and in an instant, it was as if that ordinary face of hers had become beautiful, making it hard for people to shift their eyes away.

Although Crown Princess Lian didn't know why Gu Huayan was outside, when she heard Gu Qingyi's words, she couldn't help but nod her head. Her lips curled up into a faint smile: "That's right, that's right, I was talking about you just now. "I never thought that a happy face would grow up to be like this."

After all, she had seen great storms and great waves. Although her conversation had been hastily interrupted, Princess Lian was still somewhat unhappy in her heart.

However, it quickly recovered.

No matter what, this was Prince Gu's estate. No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't show it on his face.

In his heart, however, he had a better opinion of Gu Huaiyan.

A well-bred lady would never do such a thing as listening to the crack of the door. She must have been listening outside for a while, but he didn't know what she was listening to. Prince Lian's wife was smiling, but she was quickly recalling what she had just said. She hadn't said anything that others couldn't hear …

After carefully thinking it over and confirming that there was nothing wrong with her words, she finally let out a sigh of relief. The tense expression on her face slowly relaxed.

A trace of a smile could be seen in her ice-cold eyes. However, whenever her gaze landed on Gu Huaiyan, a trace of displeasure would quickly flash past her eyes.

Unfortunately, Gu Qingyi didn't notice.

To be honest, she was not a kind-hearted person. Even though she wanted to match up Gu Huanyan with Xuanyuan Lian, she was still a bit dissatisfied in her heart. However, at the moment, this was already the best choice … And Gu Huayan had rashly rushed in. She hadn't missed the unhappiness in her father's eyes. This way, her heart would feel much more comfortable.

After losing her father's love, even if Gu Huayan followed Xuanyuan Lian and lost the backing of the Gu palace, she wouldn't be able to create any big waves.

But... In her heart, she was only concerned with Gu Yinian's thoughts. She never imagined that Prince Lian and his wife would be displeased.

"Your highness, wangfei, this is big sister Huaiyan. She often tells me about the crown prince. "Sister has told me several times that I need to thank Your Highness for the medicine you gave me that day. However, Sister Huaiyan's skin is thin, unlike how I speak without thinking. If you say something wrong, please forgive me."

This was a rare opportunity. Gu Qingyi didn't care about Gu Huayan's reaction and directly pulled her hand and introduced her to Prince Lian and his wife with a smile.

She could tell that the person in charge of Prince Lian's residence was most likely his wangfei. Prince Lian looked mighty and impressive, but in actuality … [Tsk! Tsk! I'm afraid he's just someone who listens to his wife's words. Even though the princess doesn't talk much, every word she says is a key point. Even though the prince talks a lot, most of it is useless gossip.]

Whether Gu Huayan and Xuanyuan Lian could succeed or not depended on Prince Lian's wife.

But...

"Alright, I still have things to do here. You can leave first. This King will naturally go back to find you if you have anything to do here."

Without waiting for Prince Lian to finish speaking, Gu Yinian spoke first.

With a gloomy face, he swept a glance at Gu Huaiyan, but there was not the slightest bit of warmth on his face.

Gu Huayan was already scared out of her wits. When she heard this, her face turned deathly pale and she saluted. She did not dare to say a single word as she ran out like a wisp of smoke.

But...

A pair of ice-cold eyes stared thoughtfully at the figure as it left. Its eyes slowly turned gloomy.

If … If she was just a quiet girl who had grown up in the Gu King's Manor like this, Gu Yinian would naturally not treat her unfairly. No matter what, she had personally carried her back, and that year he had thought of using her to comfort Princess Anping, who had lost her daughter.

On the contrary, he was getting more and more angry …

At that time, he didn't understand why the princess would suddenly become so angry. He had been kind, but had also put in a lot of effort. In order to find a girl who looked like her and was also about the same age as his own daughter, he had put in a lot of effort …

However … However, Princess Anping didn't understand at all …

On the contrary, she was furious at him, and she didn't even want to look at this little girl.

Of course, at that time, he had a fiery temper. Although he had tried his best to restrain himself when facing Princess Anping, but …

It was not until many years later, when the princess had died, that he finally understood.

So it turned out that some things were irreplaceable, some things were originally unique, even if the things they found were similar, it was impossible to replace the original. Moreover … And the act itself is irresponsible... At that time... At that time, when Princess Anping saw him carrying a child back, wasn't that the same thought?

After all … After all, she loved her daughter so much.

Although she was a noble princess, she had never worried about anything since she was young, and she even had groups of servants by her side. Basically, she didn't need to personally do anything.

But... But after her daughter was born, she did everything herself, and even … He would even personally breastfeed his daughter …

This made him extremely shocked. He was born into the underworld, and many times, he would be so carefree, but … However, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything. He was very clear that even if someone was better off, they wouldn't personally nurse their child …

Before the birth of the child, both the emperor and the empress dowager had prepared several wet nurses. Even he himself had secretly found a few that he could trust.

However … However, none of them had been able to make use of the other one.
