The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but hug Gu Nanyuan a little tighter.

"I'm sorry, I was too self-righteous and hurt you and Mr. Song. If someone hadn't helped me that day, I would never forgive myself in my life."

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red as she spoke. Thinking of the danger that day, she couldn't help but choke up.

Although she was sent back under protection, she still knew what Gu Nanyuan was facing.

Song Zhennan had already told her about this matter before, and he also knew that when they were at the end of their rope, Gu Nanyuan was determined to die.

Thinking of Gu Nanyuan's unconscious appearance a few days ago, Lin Ruoxuan could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Looking at Lin Ruoxuan crying bitterly, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's all right now, don't think too much about it. You can't be blamed for this. I took the initiative to move up the original plan."

Although Lin Ruoxuan had heard Song Zhennan explain this matter to her before, saying that they had wanted to investigate the old city area before, but they had never had the opportunity.

It just so happened that she and Lin Ruoqiao entered the old city that day, so they decided to carry out this plan ahead of time.

But this incident was caused by her. How could Lin Ruoxuan face Gu Nanyuan with a clear conscience?

Thinking that if Gu Nanyuan didn't have the thousand-year-old snow lotus this time, he might never wake up in this lifetime, Lin Ruoxuan could not forgive herself for her recklessness that day.

When Gu Nanyuan saw Lin Ruoxuan’s red eyes, he immediately closed them with heartache.

He didn't expect that just because of his arrogance, Lin Ruoxuan would have such a misunderstanding.

However, he also understood that Lin Ruoxuan might have taken the blame for his injury on herself.

"Xuan'er, you don't know. In fact, we have already noticed something wrong in the old city. After all, people often go missing, and their disappearances are closely related to the old city. Even if we don't take action, the court will send people to deal with it in the future."

"This time it was because of my carelessness that I made the wrong judgment. Ultimately, the problem lies with me. This has nothing to do with you. Don't take the blame for this matter on yourself."

"I know, you don't have to comfort me."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't look at Nanyuan, but responded in a muffled voice.

When Gu Nanyuan heard this, he knew that Lin Ruoxuan did not take his words to heart, and he was helpless about it.

Regarding this matter, he did make a big mistake.

I originally thought that the old city was also a gathering place for human traffickers, and their purpose was to gain more profits through such means.

But after going to the old city this time, Gu Nanyuan realized that the ultimate goal of these people was not those interests, but the Gu family, or even the neutral faction in the entire court.

Thinking of what his father was worried about just now, the look in Gu Nanyuan's eyes couldn't help but turn a little colder.

Although he didn't know which prince had attacked the Gu family this time, the fact that the other party did this meant that he was either desperate or had no scruples about the Gu family.

Those princes are fine, but what I am most worried about are the concubines in the harem, and even the emperor is involved.

After all, the emperor has not yet made it clear which prince he will make the crown prince, which is why the princes are fighting so fiercely.

Thinking of the emperor's attitude, Gu Nanyuan felt a little depressed.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the emperor did this because he was old and unwilling to share the power in his hands, which led to the current situation.

However, the emperor's attitude had no impact on their Gu family, because their Gu family had never thought of standing on the side of that prince from beginning to end.

But the Gu family is a lone minister, but not all emperors can use lone ministers.

It would be fine if the ruler was a wise and enlightened one, but if they met a foolish ruler, then their Gu family would be nothing more than a stepping stone under the other party's feet.

Thinking of this, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but close his eyes, and a vague idea came to his mind...

He had to be more cautious in everything he did in the future. If he took a wrong step, the entire Gu family might be in trouble.

Seeing that Gu Nanyuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but become worried.

She looked up at Gu Nanyuan and found that his face was still pale. Lin Ruoxuan immediately became worried.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The miracle doctor only said that the thousand-year-old snow lotus would wake Gu Nanyuan up, but he did not say what the sequelae would be after waking up.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxuan suddenly became anxious. She stood up and planned to go outside to find the doctor to ask for clarification.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will go find a miracle doctor to check you out."

Lin Ruoxuan was about to leave when Gu Nanyuan grabbed her hand.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at him in confusion, not understanding what Gu Nanyuan was going to do.

Gu Nanyuan saw the worry in his eyes and his heart softened a little.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Although Gu Nanyuan said this, his expression still did not look very good. How could Lin Ruoxuan feel at ease?

"The miracle doctor is living in your wing now. I'll go ask him. It won't take too long."

Unexpectedly, Gu Nanyuan did not let her go. He gently pulled Lin Ruoxuan back into his arms.

"Idiot! The reason why I look bad is because I only took medicine and didn't eat during this period. It would be strange if my complexion could get better."

Lin Ruoxuan was also stunned when she heard his words, and then she realized that she was nervous just now.

She raised her hand and gently hit Gu Nanyuan, then turned her head away and ignored him angrily.

Seeing this, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but sigh and hugged the person in his arms again.

"Xuan'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer during this period. Don't worry, I will never make you worry like this again in the future."

Gu Nanyuan also knew that he was careless this time, which led to him being poisoned and causing his family and Lin Ruoxuan to worry for so long.

If he had noticed something was wrong in the old town earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.

Hearing Gu Nanyuan's promise to him, Lin Ruoxuan's eyes became red again. She couldn't help but hug him tighter. She didn't want to go through what happened again.

If there had been no thousand-year-old snow lotus this time, she would probably have been separated from Gu Nanyuan.

Thinking of this situation, Lin Ruoxuan's tears fell uncontrollably again.

"You must thank Master Qi and Master Song very much this time. If it weren't for their help, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to get this thousand-year-old snow lotus."

It was from this incident that Lin Ruoxuan realized how deep Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan's brotherly love for Gu Nanyuan was.
