C126 The strongest opponent

Only now did Gu Qingli understand why Xiao Yixiu's background was so complicated. It was no wonder he was ostracized by the princes, and why so many people valued him so much. Obviously, after the princes understood that he was of the royal family, they all regarded him as a rival in a bidding war. However, on the other hand, they all looked at him with strange gazes because they despised his origin.

"How do you know this matter?"

Xiao Yixiu turned his face away, as if he was trying to cover the discomfort with the coldness.

Gu Qingli suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She hugged him tightly and softly said, "Don't think about it if you don't want to. Let's just forget about it."

Xiao Yi Xiu took in a deep breath and turned around to look at her, his gaze softening as he smiled, "It's been more than twenty years, what else is there that I can't see?" There were always survivors among the people back then. If I wanted to find the truth, I would naturally be able to find some clues. However, this life isn't the biggest brand in my heart. "

His face gradually darkened. "I've always suspected that my birth mother's death was not a suicide."

Gu Qingli raised her long eyebrows, revealing a shocked expression.

"If she really wanted to die when she was pregnant, it was for the sake of the Day of Martyrdom; but would she kill herself after giving birth to me, or would she protect this secret? Very few would seek death after passing through the gates of hell. Furthermore, she was determined to give birth to me.

Gu Qingli couldn't help but nod. No matter what, motherhood originated from birth. Since Qing Yun was forced to give birth to him, it was impossible for him to not worry about his son. He was looking for death just like that.

If she really didn't have any feelings for her child, and she had no feelings for living, then she would have committed suicide again and again during her pregnancy. No matter how hard the emperor defended her, he wouldn't be able to stop a girl's determination to die.

Only the Emperor... After she gave birth to a prince, the Emperor wanted to eliminate all those who knew the secrets of this world. Thus, no matter how suspicious the others were, they could only place their suspicions deep in their stomachs.

Gu Qingli shivered. If that was the case, how could Xiao Yixiu have any feelings for the Emperor?

"Don't worry, he's been serving the throne for dozens of years, so he won't be so easily planned out." Xiao Yixiu looked out into the distance. The streets of the capital city were bustling with noise and excitement during the day, and now only the lights were left. The crowded streets were covered in silver moonlight, and occasionally some of the warm orange lights would shine.

Gu Qingli nodded. She didn't care about the person on the throne, unless it was someone that Xiao Yixiu wanted.

"I'm so hungry. It seems like I haven't eaten yet." Gu Qing Li swallowed her saliva. She wanted to jump off the carriage, but the lights were still dim. All she could see were the open restaurants and roadside stalls.

Xiao Yi Xiu pulled her back, his face twitching slightly. "Can I get out of the car with my clothes on?"

Gu Qingli sized him up before laughing nonstop. As a king who valued his image so highly, of course he wouldn't go down there and lose face.

"Who told you to follow me personally?"

"You still have the nerve to say that? Fortunately, I have been following you personally. Otherwise, you would have gone out to the streets to eat, would you? " Just the thought of her disheveled appearance being seen infuriated him to the point of internal injury.

"Then wait for me." She pulled at her coat. "It's a little long."

She jumped out of the car, while Xiao Yixiu patiently waited.

Unexpectedly, she quickly got into the car, carrying a steaming bowl. It turned out to be wontons bought by the roadside.

"You even bought their bowls?"

"Yeah." She picked up a wonton without a care, blew it for a long time, and brought it to his lips.

Xiao Yixiu's expression was somewhat unreadable, as if he was resisting.

"Your obsession with cleanliness will not change even after a thousand years."

Under Gu Qing Li's starlight eyes, he forced himself to take a bite, his face appearing as though he had swallowed a mouthful of sand.

Gu Qingli couldn't stop laughing and put half of his wonton into her mouth.

His eyes rippled, as if it wasn't so hard to swallow. When the second wonton was brought to his lips, he easily bit it in half.

"You've never eaten a roadside stall in your life." Gu Qingli mumbled as she ate.

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled. "Have you forgotten what I've said? I've met with worse environments and swallowed worse food when I was personally fighting on the battlefield in the past?"

"Oh, right." Gu Qingli grew curious. "How did you manage to overcome your obsession with cleanliness back then?"

"At that time, the thought of surviving is even more important. If you survive, you can defeat your strongest opponent."

"You are a War God, but you actually have an opponent that can force you into a difficult situation? Or perhaps, an opponent who can give birth to thoughts of winning? "

"Only one." His thoughts seemed to sink into distant memories. Then, he chuckled, "In the end, I still lost."

"He must be very strong as well."

His smile gradually faded. "He's not the strongest opponent."

"Hmm?" She looked at him in confusion.

"The current East Abyss seems to be one of the most powerful empires on the continent, but in reality, it is already suffering from internal and external troubles. Furthermore, its greatest enemy does not come from external oppressiveness."

The empress was anxious to consolidate her position as Crown Prince, while Imperial Concubine Lan and Imperial Concubine Ling remained on guard. The King of Yan and the King of Mu had secretly formed a private party, and the entire East Abyss, under the effects of the luster and prosperity that was like a mirror, surged silently.

His strongest opponent was the chaotic battle in the East Abyss, a bloody war for storage.

She thought for a while and realized that she had almost finished her bowl of wontons.

"Eh? Why do I feel that something's wrong? You always bite half of it. Let me eat the rest."

He smiled slyly. "You just discovered it?" This was precisely the motivation for him to overcome his obsession with cleanliness.

"No wonder you ate so happily. You must be happy to see me eat your saliva, right?"

"Yeah."

Without waiting for Gu Qing Li to protest, his clear and handsome face had already been suppressed. He kissed her soft lips and felt no pressure at all.

"Your Highness, Princess, the carriage has stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion for a long time. Are you two going to get off?" Suifeng couldn't stand it any longer and pulled open the curtain of the carriage to protest. How could a noble person like him do such a thing as a coachman … Wait, what did he see?

Four snowy gazes shot towards him, practically wanting to freeze him on the spot.

Suifeng froze on the spot, his eyes almost popping out when he heard a clear and cold voice filled with killing intent, "Have you seen enough?"

"Ugh …" No no... Ah, no, Your Highness, Princess, you … "Continue..." He lowered the carriage curtain with the wind and slipped into the prince's mansion in a flustered manner, until he met Jin Shu in the Windy Pavilion.

"A fire? Or is someone chasing after him? "

Suifeng laughed dryly twice, turning his head to look back, only then did he gently stroke his chest, "I was almost silenced by Your Highness."

"Your Highness? Kill your mouth? " Jinshu frowned.

"I saw the prince and the princess …" "That …" He made a puzzling gesture.

Jinshu was confused.

"The two of them were actually hugging each other …" He glanced at his forefinger, and finally understood a bit.

Her face darkened, and without a word, she turned around and left.

"Ai …" "I said, little Jin Shu, don't look at me like that …" Suifeng looked at her back and vaguely understood something. She rubbed his head and sighed. With just that little bit of thought of hers, it was better to keep it as soon as possible. Even if there was no wangfei, it still wouldn't be her turn.
