Gu Huoyan couldn't understand what he was talking about. He only felt that he had become garrulous when he was about to die.

The fake village head raised his hand and gently pushed Gu Huoyan's dagger away, and then Gu Huoyan realized that he couldn't move anywhere except his mouth.

"How could I come to you without any preparation? My cousin."

Gu Huoyan's head became more and more dizzy. The last moment he fell, he saw the fake village head pulling off the human skin.

The figure he hadn't seen for many years appeared in front of him.

Gu Jierui's son, Gu Shui'an.

Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai checked the area around the mountain temple and found no trace of anyone's presence.

Not to mention those few people.

"It seems that he separated us." Ye Tantai picked up some firewood from the mountain and lit a fire in the mountain temple.

Su Qingcheng sat down by the fire and saw Ye Tantai take out a few more wild fruits from his clothes and hand them to her.

"All the game on the Qingshan Mountains was killed by Fu Xingzhou's army. Only these few wild fruits were found, which can both quench thirst and quench hunger."

Su Qingcheng wiped the fruit on her clothes and took a bite. It was unexpectedly sweet and delicious.

"The prince seems not surprised by what happened today."

Ye Tantai fiddled with the flames, and the fire burned even more.

A few days ago, after Su Qingcheng told him that there was a master beside Fu Xingzhou, he ordered Fu Yi to investigate.

After learning the results of the investigation, he did not tell Gu Huoyan. Before he knew why Gu Shui'an turned to Fu Xingzhou, he was worried that Gu Huoyan would act rashly.

Who would have known that instead of finding Gu Shui'an, Gu Shui'an found Huo Mei first...

"Isn't the princess curious about who is behind it?" Ye Tantai did not answer her question directly, but asked her instead.

"I guess... it's Gu Jierui's frail and sick son, right?" Su Qingcheng wasn't sure. She thought about it and guessed from Gu Huoyan's attitude and came to such a conclusion, so she tentatively asked.

Ye Tantai nodded, picked up a fruit and took a bite: "Gu Shui'an has been frail and sick since he was born. He has been a potion of medicine since he was a child. Everyone said he would not live to be three years old."

"Gu Jierui didn't believe it. He died of his wife and abandoned his daughter. He devoted his whole life to Gu Shui'an and devoted himself to recuperating Gu Shui'an's body. Gu Shui'an also strived for success. Not only did he live past the age of three, he also successfully became the person he was. The talent in medical skills shown is something the Gu family has never seen in all these years."

"At that time, Gu Jiecheng slowly developed his own power and brought Gu Huoyan back from the countryside. He consolidated his position step by step and defeated Gu Jierui. Gu Jierui died soon after."

Speaking of this, Su Qingcheng took a breath of cold air. What kind of people are the Gu family...

"Not only do they use their children as tools to fight for power and status, they can also kill their own pain in their hands and feet. How can the Gu family be worthy of the title of Nanye's number one doctor!"

Su Qingcheng was indignant. He thought that the overt and covert fights between the royal family he had witnessed in his previous life were inhumane enough, but the Gu family in front of him was also extremely cruel.

Ye Tantai didn't react at all. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Nanye has only been reduced to a shell since he was a member of the royal family..."

Some childhood memories flashed through his mind, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Su Qingcheng finished the remaining fruit and noticed that his mood was not high, so she asked, "What next?"

"After Gu Jiecheng came to power, he pretended to feel sorry for Gu Shui'an and declared that he would treat him better than Gu Huoyan. As time went by, he found that Gu Huoyan could not compare to Gu Shui'an in everything, so he punched and kicked Gu Huoyan to force him to surpass Gu Shui'an. , while quietly tampering with Gu Shui'an's food, trying to kill him."

"How could Gu Shui'an be killed so easily? He had long noticed that the food was poisonous and threw it all away. As a result, he was eaten by the dog in Gu's backyard. The dog died soon after, and the uncle and nephew were completely torn apart."

"Gu Jiecheng directly considered Shui'an's health to be weak, so he gathered a dozen big men to beat him up, and finally gave him a bowl of poison and threw him on a barren mountain. Gu Jiecheng was afraid of being gossiped about, so he killed everyone who knew about these things. So everyone in the capital only knows that there is Gu Huoyan in the Gu family."

Su Qingcheng was numb when she heard the last part. It was hard for her to imagine that after a teenage child lost his father, he thought he had been saved by his uncle, but unexpectedly he just entered another abyss...

How desperate he must have been when he discovered that the food was poisonous, and how desperate he must have been when his bones were beaten to pieces.

They are just poor people who were born under the influence of drugs. What did they do wrong...

"Gu Shui'an won't hurt Huo Mei, right?" Su Qingcheng said weakly, she had no confidence.

After being hurt like this, can a person still treat his enemy's daughter calmly?

"I don't know." Ye Tantai shook his head.

He really didn't know what Gu Shui'an was thinking.

Judging from his information, Gu Shui'an was later rescued by the Mo family and accepted as a close disciple of the Mo family, changing his surname to Mo.

The Mo family is a well-known amiable family in the world, but they are ranked second in Qimen Dunjia, and no one in Nanye dares to be ranked first.

The art of Qi Men Dun Jia is the most difficult to learn, so many Mo family members already have gray hair by the time they get through it.

This created the impression of the Mohists in the world.

"Logically speaking, he should have a bright future and does not need to rely on Fu Xingzhou to gain anything." Ye Tantai said.

Su Qingcheng's eyes rolled slightly: "Is it to take revenge on the Gu family?"

"If he wanted to kill the Gu family, why would he seek refuge with Fu Xingzhou, who still had little power?" Ye Tantai denied.

"Then it seems that Fu Xingzhou has something he needs. What is it? I don't know..." Su Qingcheng couldn't help but muttered.

Ye Tantai on the side changed his expression and narrowed his narrow eyes: "Does the princess know Fu Xingzhou very well?"

He remembered that when Su Qingcheng first married him, she was carrying the acacia poison that Fu Xingzhou had given her.

These days, he has almost forgotten that when the Princess Yunan in front of him approached him, her purpose was not pure...

"We knew each other very well before, but that was a long time ago." Su Qingcheng looked up at the crescent moon, feeling a little lost.

After her rebirth, she discovered that she didn't know many things about Fu Xingzhou.

But my past life thought I knew him best, which was really ridiculous and ironic.

The two didn't speak for a long time.

Ye Tantai wanted to continue asking, but the weight on his shoulders stunned him.

Su Qingcheng fell asleep leaning against him again.

How come this girl falls asleep so easily when she sits next to her...

Ye Tantai sat up straight and adjusted his posture so that Su Qingcheng could lean more comfortably.

The sound of her even breathing could be heard in his ears, which was particularly obvious in the silent night.
