He wanted the emperor to think that these ministers were secretly colluding with the mirage, so he had doubts in his heart.

The letter also mentioned that they should not trust the King. It was highly likely that the Mirage Faction would be held responsible and Gu Liuyan would then place the secret of their Zhu Family into the Yun Family.

This was a trick of the mind under the eyes of the Son of Heaven.

”So childish, how could she possibly succeed?”

”Then what if she makes people think that Prince Jing has something to do with the notorious Mirage?” Zhu Yan quickened his pace and brought the Scarlet Scorpion to the silver tavern. ”She wants to pull Prince Jing into the water.”

”Why?” The Scarlet Scorpion shook its head even more. ”Who doesn't know that the King Jing's achievements are great? Even if she isn't favored, as long as she is under the protection of the King Jing, she will always be rich and powerful. If possible, she can even become an empress …”

”God knows, we should first do as she says.” Zhu Yan's face was gloomy.

Originally, he came here today to ask Gu Tinyan to give them some security, but what Gu Tinyan gave them was a challenge, and it could even be said to be a naked threat.

Coming here, if she was unwilling, she would take advantage of this opportunity to expose them to the envoys of Er Dan. That was why she mentioned that he had merely used the same voice to fool them.

”What's she worth for us to follow her about?” The Scarlet Scorpion rolled her eyes. She would never forget the feeling of helplessness she felt when her father's life was hanging by a thread.

”By the time I reacted, she had already grasped onto my weak point.” Zhu Yan was also helpless.

The Scarlet Scorpion sighed lightly. ”Brother, you've been eaten up by two women in your entire life, even though the meaning is different.”

Hadn't they been led away by the nose, following the practice of taking care of the cigarette lists for a long time?

”Moreover, both of them were chosen by Duan Chengxuan. I really don't know if I should say that this man was lucky enough to obtain Su Yuwan's infatuation, or if I should laugh at him for provoking the great Buddha, Gu Danyan.” Zhu Yan also laughed at himself.

Right now, they could only temporarily stay under Gu Daiyan's maidservants.

Arriving at the inn, Yin Gou only left the two of them after reading the letter and the veil. She was still busy opening up the inn, so she truly believed in them. She even bought a few sets of beautiful clothes for the Scarlet Scorpion.

”I usually don't wear any good clothes when I'm by Miss's side. Since you're a Miss, you should wear some good clothes as well.” Yin Qiuyi smiled as she cleaned up the room for her. ”But before this, I thought that the people in the Mirage were all extremely vicious, but I saw that both of you were rather polite.”

The Scarlet Scorpion felt somewhat embarrassed after being praised, but after a short while, it had gotten familiar with Silver Wing.

However, at this time, Zhu Yan ran into Qi Lin at the door. Qi Lin didn't know about this, he just assumed that the siblings were Gu Daiyan's friends, and directly put down the food box. ”Good, you come and serve some food. I need to go up and see how Yin Gou is doing.”

Zhu Yan was helpless. It had been a long time since someone had ordered him to do this.

However, he hadn't tried such a leisurely lifestyle for a long time.

Gu Danyan held Mo Mo's hand, almost taking away half of Sky Flame City.

Compared to his usual irritating appearance, the Gu Liuyan of today had lost her veil, and looked like a child in front of Mo. Now, as the sun was setting, she grabbed Mo's collar with one hand and followed him barefoot into the river.

The river water just passed Mo's ankles, and Mo happily splashed out a lot of water.
