C483 (1/2)

The carriage swayed as Gu Daiyan ate his medicine. He only passed the time in half a dream.

When she finally woke up this time, there was no one else in the carriage other than Lai Xuan, who did not have any strength to do anything. As night fell, Qu Li and a few soldiers' voices could be heard from outside the carriage, she rubbed his eyes to loosen the rope on Lai Xuan, then leaned to the side and said, ”I originally wanted to let you go before.

”Gu Cheng raised you once.”

”However, he did not show me any kindness. Back then, I wanted to leave him a chance of survival under the Emperor's guillotine. This is already enough for me to be filial.” Gu Danyan wiped his face with the handkerchief and said in a low voice, ”Gu Cheng and I currently have no grudges between us, but the two of us still stand on opposite sides.”

”He's a good man. I can't work for you.” Lai Xuan gritted her teeth and said, ”If it weren't for him, I would have long since died under Aiyan's blade. I wouldn't have been able to climb to my current status and seek a way to survive for those slaves. You obviously treat those slaves well, but why …”

”The lives of slaves are worthless to me and Gu Cheng. I treat them well simply because it's pitiful. However, if it really comes down to it, Gu Cheng and I are thinking of using these slaves.” Gu Danyan no longer had the restraints of Qu Li, and the viciousness beneath his skin was revealed, ”I'll use you all to overthrow Jiang Yan.”

”Even so, I am still willing to believe in him. At the very least, we will all have a way out.” Lai Xuan was already trembling from the pain. She was drenched in cold sweat, yet she still didn't want to let go.

Gu Danyan grabbed his chin with one hand, and fed him the antidote without any hesitation. His eyes were cold: ”But I'm different from him. He will use you guys to encircle and annihilate you guys, but I will teach you guys to become real people.”

”Why should I believe you?” Lai Xuan had no choice but to swallow the antidote. The feeling of being controlled made him feel like she had returned to the days when he was a slave.

”Because I'm a doctor.” Gu Danyan frowned and brought water to feed him, ”I don't want to see people die for nothing. To me, even if they are tools, they are still human beings. However, in Gu Cheng's eyes, tools and people are no different from each other. I hope that you can understand them. ”

Lai Xuan gritted his teeth but didn't appreciate it. Gu Danyan didn't expect that he could persuade him with just a few words in the past few days.

He had to let go of his chin, opened the medicine kit himself, and took some medicine.

Time flew by, and soon, it was almost autumn. Although Erdan was always warm, in this autumn rain, she was tortured by her stomach and limbs. The pain and suffering she had suffered in the past due to trying to put on a brave front had now been repaid by her.

Rubbing his throbbing knee, Qu Li pulled open the curtain of the carriage and asked gently, ”Does your leg still hurt?”

”It doesn't hurt anymore.” Gu Danyan grabbed Qu Li's underlings and got off the carriage, leaving the pain alone.

And all of this was witnessed by Lai Xuan.

Perhaps there was a difference between Gu Cheng and Gu Liuyan, but back then, Gu Cheng had sent someone to save him.

He was like a god.

He would not easily betray his god, but he would also notice Gu Liuyan because of the small details.

After staying in the dilapidated temple for a day, Qu Li initially wanted to stay in a hotel for the first night. However, Gu Danyan's personality seemed to be able to sleep well wherever she went.

However, there was something different today.
