Chapter 566 - Could Gu Yun Be Tu Xiupei? (1/2)
This valor and decisiveness that Gu Nansheng had was difficult to achieve, even for Feng Tianlan. She had more misgivings and was more inclined to think ahead of time, so she was often tied down.
Gu Nansheng smiled bitterly and said, “This is my only way out.”
She also did not want things to end up in this situation of forcing a confession and staging a revolt. But she had no other way out. Her father, the emperor, was no longer the father he used to be. If she did not seize this moment to make the first move, she herself, her mother, as well as her imperial brother, would be the ones to die in due course.
Therefore, she was forced to do all the things that she was doing now.
Feng Tianlan thought about everything that Tu Xiang had done. She understood Gu Nansheng’s helplessness and fear. Even if she had encountered similar experiences, there was still no way the two could feel the same emotions.
After bidding farewell to Gu Nansheng, Feng Tianlan arrived at Gu Yun’s palace. This place was not very far from the royal study that she was at earlier on, so it was only half-affected. Only one palace collapsed, while the others were well-intact.
For anyone who tried to stop her by standing in her way, Feng Tianlan unceremoniously landed blows that sent them flying away. She then barged right into the main palace.
“Miss Feng, you really don’t even have a tad of courtesy that a guest should have,” said Gu Yun, who was leisurely brewing some tea. She was not the least alarmed by Feng Tianlan’s aggressive intrusion.
Feng Tianlan saw how leisurely and carefree Gu Yun was, and looked her up and down. Then she said indifferently, “Princess Yun is really quite carefree, you must not have known that the painting of the naked beauty has been hung on the city gate tower for all Beiqi people to admire, right?”
Having heard Feng Tianlan’s words, Gu Yun’s hand that was pouring tea paused momentarily. The leisurely look she wore on her face also seemed to abate momentarily. But she quickly regained her composure and said, “That’s not me, the princess. So what if they’re all admiring it?”
In that painting, the face was illustrated according to her looks, but that naked body was illustrated according to the body of the palace maid that she had found.
Naturally, she wanted to keep and protect her chastity for the man she loved. How could she allow just any lowly being to see her body?
However, just thinking about the fact that the face was painted according to her looks and now hung on the city gate tower, the hatred for Feng Tianlan in her heart increased by a notch again.
