"Empress Dowager, what's going on?" Gu Danyan looked at the people in front of him and said, "In the end, this is just a string of beads. What kind of waves can it cause?"

The black beads on her wrist were ice-cold, but the so-called Door of Hell made her even more curious.

Madam Zou had said that the arched jade pendant had been given to her by a scarred woman. She shouldn't have been in the same group as the man in white. Otherwise, she would have sent it along with the suicidal string.

The empress dowager's face was dark. "Go and ask Xuan'er to come back."

Gu Liuyan was curious. Why was it so serious?

"This must not be spread out. Go tell the emperor that someone must have deliberately used this to stir up trouble." The empress dowager's voice was slightly gloomy as she waved her hand towards Gu Tinyan, allowing her to follow him to an empty corridor.

Senior Servant Gui watched from afar and sighed lightly. "Whatever should come will eventually come."

"I shouldn't have told you about this, but now that someone is going to make a big fuss about it, I decided on my own." The empress dowager turned her back to Gu Daiyan and kept silent for a long time. Finally, she said softly, "The lover of Madam Yunjian was the proton of Erdan then, and the emperor of Erdan now."

Gently opening his eyes, Gu Daiyan took a step forward: "Then I …"

"Before your mother left, she had told her servant girl that you were Gu Cheng's child, that she only had feelings for Nardan's proton." The empress dowager sighed softly. "At first, if it wasn't for the fact that the Dark Core's proton insisted on having your mother, this matter wouldn't have been exposed. The late emperor originally thought your mother was a fiendish star, so he locked her up inside the Soul Suppressing Orb."

"After that, that Er Dan proton kept wanting to see your mother, but was rejected over and over again. Finally she returned to Er Dan, and your mother disappeared not long after. At that time, he even sent someone to send a letter of blood to Gu Cheng saying that Gu Cheng had killed your mother." The Empress Dowager continued to speak, her voice gradually becoming softer.

Gu Danyan had never thought about who his mother's lover was.

"Then, what does this have to do with me?"

"If someone says that Madam Yun's coffin is empty and that she's not dead, and that you're actually his child, what then?" Her Majesty slowly turned around, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Gu Liuyan thought about it and his heart sank.

"If Emperor Dan is truly obsessed with my mother, he would only feel that I've become a father and want to bring me back. On the other hand, he would naturally go to great lengths to find my mother, and even more importantly, he would need to know the truth of what happened back then. He would know that the late Emperor indirectly killed my mother, and even more so, that Prime Minister Navy Tide killed her loved one."

Gu Liuyan explained in detail, but then he thought for a second: "For a woman, he can't possibly …"

"He did it because of your mother. Back then, he wanted to go to the imperial palace to receive a special decree from the emperor, which was why he brought the supreme dan from the imperial palace. Not to mention that he had been like a tiger watching its prey for the past few years, so he lacked a reason to send troops." The empress dowager's expression changed, but she didn't dare to even think about it.

Emperor Aldan was truly infatuated with Yun Wan. However, as long as there were people from another country who instigated this, in addition to the fact that Madam Yun's coffin was missing, it was only natural that it would be used by someone with ulterior motives.

"Empress Dowager, is there anything else you haven't told me?" Gu Mingyan circled around to the empress dowager's side and only looked at the lotus pond. "These reasons are a bit too far-fetched."

The empress dowager gave a slight start. After a long time, she spoke up softly, "Your mother used poison experts. This suicidal string contains all the secrets of your mother's scrolls. Moreover, only your mother knows about the Yun family's secret treasure. I heard there's an immortal recipe within …"

"No wonder all of you want to lie to me." Gu Danyan sneered, then decided to just sit at the side of the long corridor and silently looked at the empress dowager: "You guys think that the immortal formula will be placed together with my mother's book collection. Whether it's the suicidal mission or Prince Dan, both of these are the Emperor's pretexts for wanting to live forever."

"The late emperor sought after his entire life, but he couldn't afford it. This Dowager didn't believe it long ago."

The empress dowager walked to her side and lightly patted her shoulder. "There are many ambitious people in this world. If you bring along this suicidal string, sooner or later you'll cause trouble. But if you don't resolve this matter, there will be people who will make use of this matter in the future."

"So, empress dowager, you're planning to use me, wear this suicidal string, pull out the people behind you, and have your highness come back to protect me. Once this matter is resolved, you don't have to worry about it in the future."

Gu Pingyan sighed softly and stood up: "The empress dowager didn't plan on abandoning me directly, this is a great favor."

The empress dowager shivered as she saw Gu Danyan respectfully bow towards her before walking out. His back was still ramrod straight, and he had a hint of pride in his actions.

"Yun Wan, your daughter really does resemble you."

With that, Senior Servant Gui walked to the empress dowager's side and said in a soft voice, "The emperor has already ordered for the imperial concubine to be out of doors every day. No one is allowed to leave the estate unless they follow a woman's orders."

"Although emperors do not yearn for immortality, they are still emperors after all. They are all correct." The empress dowager clenched Senior Servant Gui's hand and lowered her eyes. "This Dowager is old. I can only guard the younger generation until now."

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, if Your Highness wangfei knows all of this, I'm afraid he'll hate you. Use her as bait." Senior Servant Gui looked worriedly at the empress dowager. She naturally knew that the empress dowager treated Gu Daiyan as her past son, Duan Ling'er, and doted on him dearly.

The empress dowager shook her head and turned around gently, holding Senior Servant Gui's hand. "She's smarter than Ling'er."

Senior Servant Gui didn't understand and followed the empress dowager out of this area.

At this time, the Autumn Festival was still as usual, but Gu Daiyan could not see the end of it. A sedan chair was sent back to the manor to restrict the passage of time.

Gu Daiyan sat alone beside the herb drying rack, his eyes emotionless. At this moment, ghost lightly landed at her feet. He had wanted to tell Gu Daiyan about the plan, but he saw her eyes glaze over and couldn't help but to worry: "What happened?"

Gu Danyan indifferently told what he had heard, then continued, "So my Yun clan is just a living medicine in the eyes of the royal family. Luckily, the empress dowager protected me and wanted me to be the bait, not the spirit of the sabre."

"Why would a ghost die under a blade? If there really is someone who wants to take advantage of you, then call you Princess Eldan. "

"But they won't really give me to Eldan." Gu Danyan slowly stood up, and his gaze gradually became sharp: "I have the Soul-Sealing Spike, and I'm also Yun Wan's daughter. Gu Liuyan slowly stood up, and her eyes gradually became sharp:" I have the Soul-Sealing Spike, and I'm Yun Shu's daughter, and I'm the person who can find the Eternal Medicine Recipe the best.

"Besides, I'm Gu Cheng's daughter. If I go to Erdan and find out that I'm not his biological daughter, there's no way I'll survive. But if I'm willing to use the Soul-Sealing Spike as bait, the empress dowager is willing to protect me." Gu Danyan sneered.

Outside the courtyard wall, not far away, flames covered the sky, and the cries of servants sounded out.
