C720 (2/2)

”It is difficult to return the lost ones. One would resent the fact that they are unable to make up for the lost ones' losses. As an overlord, one can seek for peace and harmony, and leave everything to one's heart.”

It wasn't even as strict as those scholars, but Duan Cong folded the letter and placed it on the table. She took a deep breath and said, ”Come.”

A young eunuch rushed in from outside and knelt on the ground. ”Your Majesty.”

”Have Hui Fei come to me.” I want to hear her explanation.

He Jin retracted his hand, and took out some medicinal herbs from the medicine chest to hand to the trusted aide of the Emperor. ”This poison is not fatal, but it will cause people who consume it for a long time to falsely die for a period of time. Moreover, the poison hasn't changed since then.”

Duan Cong's eyes flashed as she waved her hand to allow Qi Rou and He Jin to leave.

In other words, Duan Chengrui and Hui Fei didn't want to kill him.

On the other side, the door to the temporary residence of Prince Zong Ping was knocked.

The Hall of Helplessness's staff member who was familiar with Gu Mingyan passed a letter to Duan Chengyu, requesting him to explore the Third Prince's residence and bring Ah Zi and Ping Chuan out safely. She also told him that Ah Zi and Ping Chuan's shackles were only to exchange for the trust of others.

Duan Chengyu looked at the crooked words written on it and chose to do as he was told. Only he knew of this matter.

Not long after leaving the city, the carriage began to sway gently. Gu Dingyan closed his eyes and started to calculate the time, thinking that the letters should have been handed over to each of them. Only Yue Qing and Mu Qing remained in her carriage.

Because Duan Chengrui was leading the army, he was a long way ahead. Right now, it was the perfect time for her to talk about conditions.

”I've read about an ancient formula that can dispel the poison in my body.” At first, she wanted to pick up the ball of fur as usual, but in the end, her hands were empty. She could only carry the cotton bag in her arms and said: ”It's a pity that three of the herbs are missing. Mu Qing, do you know if it's complete?”

”I know.” Mu Qing nodded.

For example, Gu Liuyan had already broken off relations with Duan Chengxuan and chose the latter between love and immortality. She even sent people to imprison her close friends, who appeared to be called Pingchuan and another musician. Not only that, she even saved their lives in front of Duan Chengli, and made a pretty good condition for him.

”Then, did you agree to my previous condition?” Gu Danyan laughed lightly, rolled the cotton ball into a small ball, then let go of her hand and let the cotton ball return to its original shape.

”I should try it out with you. I'm connected to Su Yu Wan or even to her blood vessels. If the harmony between Yin and Yang is real, then we can better combine into one …” Mu Qing also threw out an olive branch, exposing the dirtiest part of his heart.

However, Gu Liuyan felt disdain from the bottom of his heart.

Both of them were human doctors, so Mu Qing had chosen a crooked path from the very beginning. He was truly willing to eliminate his love for Su Yu Wan for the sake of immortality.

But on the surface, Gu Pingyan had a surprised expression. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said: ”That seems to be true, but how can I trust you?” ”I don't know if I'll die from poison after I become immortal, so I need to know that ancient recipe.”

”I can tell you about the three herbs bit by bit.” Mu Qing pretended to be suspicious and threw out an olive branch. ”One of them is the most potent part of the Jade Dragon Snow, and the amount of medicine is 10% of the root hair's weight.”

And Gu Daiyan had left this spot just in time.
