Make You Happy

  Chapter 402 The Chamber of Secrets

   It was already late at night when Ruan Youqing and the others returned to the inn.

   Some people can sleep peacefully, while others are busy... running around in the dark.

  After Gu Changan returned to the inn again, the sky began to turn pale.

  Feeling someone lying down beside her, Ruan Youqing has already fallen asleep.

   Stretched out to hug each other in a daze, after feeling the familiar smell and warmth, Ruan Youqing said softly, "How is it?"

  It turned out that after they returned to the inn last night, Gu Changan changed into dark clothes and went out again. Although when they returned to Xingcheng, Tianwen and the others had already been sent by him to investigate Gu's residence in advance. But because he hadn't returned for a long time, the master was inevitably worried, so he searched for the trace himself.

  Ruan Youqing originally sat by the bed and waited, but for some reason, she felt sleepy very easily these days, so she leaned against the bed and fell asleep without knowing it. If it wasn't for the fan coming in, she might have sat up and slept all night.

   Gu Changan, who has not rested all night, is actually not tired at all, but his dark eyes are full of frightening coldness at this moment.

   It wasn't until the people around him spoke that Gu Chang'an gradually came back to his senses, his eyes were no longer full of darkness.

   "Tian Wen suffered some injuries, but luckily... this trip was not in vain. Gu Yuanzhe... has entered the palace now. Tomorrow... Tomorrow I will enter the palace again. It's just... I want to take Qiu Si with me."

   As soon as Gu Changan's voice fell, Ruan Youqing's eyes that were still foggy just now became sober.

   "Take Qiu Si away?! Chang An, the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom hates Qiu Si..." Ruan Youqing has already propped his body above Gu Chang An, from this angle, Gu Chang An's expression can be seen at a glance.

  Xiu Mei frowned slightly, Ruan Youqing stopped what he just said, and grabbed Gu Changan's hand instead, with a caring tone: "Tonight...what did you see?"

  Gu Changan gently closed his eyes, calming down his hostility.

   After taking a breath, he continued to speak: "In that secret room, there are many traps. Even if there is a key to get in, it is impossible to enter and exit freely."

   "Gu Yuanzhe... lied to us?"

   "No, he went with me, and it was the first time he knew about the hidden weapons inside."

  Ruan Youqing's complexion sank, and he said regretfully, "You know, I should go with you tonight."

   "You can't be dragged in by any danger, otherwise... I am too incompetent as a husband." When Gu Changan spoke to Ruan Youqing, his tone became more gentle. It was as if the dark and hostile atmosphere just now had never existed.

  Ruan Youqing rested his head on Gu Changan's shoulder, and the two of them clasped their hands, and each other's hearts finally calmed down.

  Gu Changan also talked about what happened tonight from the beginning to the end.

  It turned out that when he was rushing to go, the gangsters had just lured away the secret sentry of the Gu family. Tian Wen and Gu Yuanzhe were just about to enter the secret room.

  Gu Changan did not stop Gu Yuanzhe from joining.

  After the three of them entered the secret room, someone stepped on an inconspicuous raised floor tile, and an arrow shot out of the wall instantly.

  The Gu family does not advocate martial arts, but Gu Yuanzhe is an exception.

   It was not too difficult for the three of them to escape the first round of attacks, but the mechanisms in this secret room are tightly connected. Even Gu Changan was sweating profusely in the end, and his physical strength was almost overdrawn.

   Fortunately, after escaping the last mechanism, they were lucky enough to find the... secret room in the secret room.

   Speaking of this, Ruan Youqing interjected curiously: "It stands to reason that Gu Yuandao should have returned home when you went... You made such a big commotion in his study, why didn't you invite him?"

Gu Changan curled the corners of his lips without any warmth, and slowly replied: "He is very contradictory. He is thoughtful and... very arrogant. According to Gu Yuanzhe, the study is far away from his bedroom. Moreover, the study Although the secret room inside has a hole in the sky, basically you can't hear any movement outside. Unless you burn the secret room and the study together, Gu Yuandao can receive news from there. And...Gu Yuandao is very confident that even if someone can break into The secret room can't hide from his mechanism."

  Because he felt the coldness, Ruan Youqing moved closer to Gu Changan. And Gu Changan continued to talk about what he saw tonight.

  Gu Yuanzhe asked Gu Changan to search in the secret room. At the beginning, he actually had the mentality of trying. Because he didn't know what was in that secret room.

  But he knows exactly how much his elder brother cares about the secret room.

  Since it is a secret room... there must be many secrets hidden in it.

   And the secret is the most capable of pulling people down from their heights.

  Gu Changan had a surprisingly good temper that night, after knowing that Gu Yuanzhe knew nothing about the secret room, he didn't get angry.

   It's just that, when he walked to the places where there were suspected institutions, Gu Chang'an let Gu Yuanzhe go to the front with a deadpan face.

  Being suppressed by Gu Chang'an's aggressive aura, Gu Yuanzhe couldn't think of resisting at all.

   As for the chamber of secrets... indeed...

   There are quite a few things.

   Right in the middle, on a chair made of gold, a black and gold dragon robe was laid flat on it.

   On the walls on both sides of the golden chair, there are a lot of...things that don't seem to be in harmony with the secret room.

  Fans, tambourines, lanterns and paintings of different styles.

  Gu Changan only took a closer look, and then felt his hair stand on end, and retreated a long distance with a cold face.

  Because... these things...

   All made of human skin.

  Ruan Youqing sat up, no sleepiness at all: "It's all made of human skin...Gu Yuandao...is he a pervert?"

  The warm and soft touch disappeared from his arms, and Gu Changan frowned a little dissatisfied, and stretched out his hand to pull her back into his arms.

Afterwards, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Gu Yuandao, it should be because he has a special habit of collecting human skins to make objects. Not to mention his dark and twisted heart, he is actually ambitious and interested in the throne. So... although no evidence was found The evidence that he murdered my parents, the dragon robe alone...can make him unable to stand up."

  After pondering for a moment, Ruan Youqing quickly expressed his concern with a solemn expression: "Will Gu Yuandao notice your actions, when you go back..."

   "Gu Yuanzhe has sent his own secret guards to guard there, so I also stayed in the dark to watch. Tomorrow morning, the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom will send people over."

  「Will the Emperor of Canglong Kingdom believe your words?」

"He has been able to sit steadily since he was a child until now. He only knows how to be suspicious...but he can't sit firmly on the throne. Gu Yuandao is the thorn in his heart. Use our hands to deal with the most feared thing so far...He is a little bit No loss."

  「Then letting Qiu Si enter the palace is...」

  When Qiu Bang was mentioned, both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

Especially Gu Chang'an, after heaving a long sigh, he continued: "You can't hide for a lifetime. There are some things that may be more effective than hiding them all the time. Besides, I've figured it out these days, Canglong The reason why the emperor of the country was looking for Qiu Si was because Gu Yuandao was fanning the flames in his ears. The emperor's trust in him was entirely dependent on his vowed promise to find Yu Ruyi for the emperor. Now, we send the emperor a full-blown ambition Gu Yuandao, he will put all his thoughts on Gu Yuandao. When Qiu Si appears and hand over the jade ruyi to him, if the emperor is not stupid, he will let him and his mother leave Canglong Kingdom."

  Ruan Youqing hummed lightly, buried her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "It's good that you don't have to worry about it."

   "I didn't want you to wade into this muddy water." Gu Changan smiled lightly, then bowed his head and kissed his little wife.

  At the time of intense affection, something suddenly crossed Ruan Youqing's mind, but fortunately, she immediately caught the fleeting thought with concentration.

   "Chang An, is there no women in Gu's house? And... I have never heard from you or Gu Yuanzhe... Gu Qinger's mother..."
