C506 (1/2)
The three of them went out to discuss the matter.
On the other hand, the people in the courtyard ate their tea in a relaxed manner. Gu Danyan couldn't think of a reason why Duan Chengxuan would personally pay his a visit, not to mention that after she left, she didn't know whether Duan Chengxuan had really punished Su Yuwan or not.
Perhaps the reason why Duan Chengxuan had treated her so well was because of Su Yu Wan.
After all, she could not be tough in the past, and if she were to be soft now, she might really give in. She would not easily believe Duan Chengxuan's lies, and naturally, she would not allow his unreasonable thinking to enter her plans.
When Gu Cheng returned, she was slightly lost in thought.
”Maybe Duan Chengxuan really did it for Su Yuwan.” Gu Cheng continued, ”They seem to have discussed the matter of bringing Su Yuwan to the pills in the autumn.”
Gu Sheng found out through Gu Zixian.
As for Gu Danyan, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Princess Erdan's whereabouts shouldn't be exposed like this. Perhaps Gu Cheng had indeed sent people to investigate, and Duan Chengxuan wanted Su Yuwan to confirm her identity.
Gu Tinyan didn't hide her panic at all. She stayed silent for a while, then lowered her head and said: ”I knew everything he did was for Su Yuwan.”
”But I can help you. I know your identity.” Gu Cheng raised his hand and held her hand, as if he truly treated Gu Liuyan as his own daughter: ”Yun Shu isn't here, I can prove your identity.”
Gu Danyan looked up at him and nodded seriously.
However, the killing intent in her heart filled her chest. Perhaps there weren't many people in this world that she could trust.
Back then, Yun Wan had established the Wind Listening Pavilion for the sake of the Yun clan and for the sake of revenge, but it was wholeheartedly set up for her. Furthermore, Emperor Dan's father was not a person who did not care about the big picture.
He could only rely on himself.
Compared to believing in one side, it was more difficult to protect oneself through checks and balances.
”But I'm afraid my situation in Jiang Yan will be quite sad.” Gu Danyan pulled his hand away and said, ”If my lord wishes to reminisce about our old friendship, then it would be better for you to bring me to the palace to see the emperor, so that you can buy some time for my life.”
”That's good, but I need your help.” Gu Cheng sneered, ”The Emperor was poisoned for a long time by Ai Yan. I want you to reveal this matter and force Ai Yan to take action.”
Gu Danyan slightly raised her brows: ”Of course you can. Then you must also promise me, no matter how much Su Yu Wan and Duan Chengxuan provoke me in the future, you must confirm my identity, regardless of the price.”
”Talking business with an intelligent person is naturally worth a thousand taels of gold.” Gu Cheng similarly retracted his hand.
The two of them smiled at each other.
Gu Cheng had originally thought that he understood Gu Liuyan, and he was even more aware that she couldn't rub away the sand in her eyes. Even if it was in the future, it would be impossible for him to truly reunite with Duan Chengxuan, but he didn't see that after he left, Gu Sheng had followed Lai Xuan into the courtyard.
After sending Gu Cheng off, he came back to Gu Sheng and Lai Xuan.
Gu Liuyan's expression did not change. She couldn't help but look at Ai Qi's room. It was very quiet, but if one looked carefully, they would see that the person was sitting on a chair.
Gu Sheng sat down and directly confessed, ”Gu Zixian helped me pass the message. Those actions were merely father's deceit of you, wanting to sow discord between you and Duan Chengxuan.”
Without including Gu Sheng into her plan, she pondered for a moment before speaking, ”The reason you came this time was to expose your father. I remember that I don't have any relationship with you. Hua Li even died in the prince's mansion after I left.”
Lai Xuan stood at the side and listened quietly. She caught a glimpse of Gu Sheng frowning, but his tone remained calm. ”I also know that you personally injured Su Yu Wan and that Yun Que isn't dead. All of this is information that Chang Yiqin exchanged with Gu Zi Wu.”
”Are you threatening me?” Hearing the name of his mother, Gu Danyan's expression immediately changed.
