C503 (1/2)

The fingertips on his face were ice-cold. Ai Qi had yet to recover from Gu Tinyan's words.

Lai Xuan had already pulled her over. ”Don't think that I really don't dare to kill you. It's just one person. Don't tell me that you really can change the entire world's situation?”

”Who said I was alone?” Gu Danyan also grabbed his wrist, ”It's Jiang Yan and those oppressed who want to change the pattern, it's the high officials' ambition that wants to change the pattern, and you're afraid that Jiang Yan will fall apart. Do you believe that your Jiang Yan will still be able to linger in the fight for power between life and death?”

”Wake up, Lai Xuan. You will understand this very soon.”

”True war and struggle will tell you what color human blood is.”

Ye Zichen pulled Lai Xuan's hand away, while his wrist turned purple.

She didn't want to engage in a meaningless debate with Lai Xuan, but now the only person she wanted to persuade was Ai Qi. ”So you kept Mu Qing by your side just to make Su Yu Wan think that she's really controlling you, right?”

Ai Qi looked at Lai Xuan silently.

The latter folded her arms and closed her eyes, trying to pretend that she didn't hear him.

”Let's talk about a business deal.” Gu Danyan sat down next to Ai Qi and looked at her: ”Help me continue deceiving Su Yu Wan and have her betray the country. I will help you overthrow Ai Yan, what do you say?”

”Why are you doing this?”

”Relying on Duan Chenxuan's ability.” Gu Danyan chuckled.

Aki remained silent. She wasn't sure about that.

Gu Danyan didn't continue talking and only gave her enough time to think.

Gu Liuyan was quieter than what Lai Xuan had seen. She only sent people to find some medical books and read them quietly, as if she was never tired of it. The soldiers could only sigh at the speed of eating and only ate slowly in front of some pastries.

She did not seem to care about the world outside as she quietly made her way to the capital.

The Emperor gave everything to Gu Cheng to arrange.

Thus, the horse carriage would stop in front of a house on the west side of the capital city, with Gu Cheng personally standing at the door to welcome them. When he saw Gu Pingyan, his father's smile remained on his face: ”Yan'er.”

”Milord.” Gu Danyan responded and got down from the carriage, ”I didn't expect that you and I would shed our golden cicadas and end up changing our faces.”

”If I knew that you were so unkind and smart back then, I wouldn't have let you go.” Gu Cheng came up to her affectionately, ”Naturally, I'm here today to take good care of you.”

”If I am satisfied, perhaps I can tell you the secret of that suicidal string.” Gu Liuyan strode in. No matter how Gu Cheng looked at it, he opened his mouth first: ”Lai Xuan and Ai Qi will be staying in my courtyard.”

”Lai Xuan is a man.”

”To me, it can only be useful and useless.” Gu Danyan's words contained a hint of ridicule.

However, Gu Cheng wasn't angered by this. He could only send people to prepare for the battle with a serious expression on his face.

When he returned to the courtyard and saw the luxurious room, Gu Danyan did not express anything. He only heard Gu Cheng close the door for the most part before asking her alone, ”Just what sort of tricks have you come to represent Erdan this time?”

”We naturally have to do something for our father. As long as you are willing to give us a few cities, we are willing to help you, milord.” Gu Danyan slowly sat down, his fingers unconsciously moving across the rim of his cup as he chuckled: ”Could it be that you think that when the Jing King humiliated me that time, I could still do things for Navy Tide and not become my great princess?”
