Gu Liuyan had not expected to see his aged grandfather and his long-lost son in this situation.

She didn't know how Duan Feng was related to all of this. She even wanted to create chaos in order to bring out Yun Qingyang and Qing Qing, becoming a weapon that was tied her down.

She still seemed to remember the threat of the sharp blade against her neck just now. Yun Qingyang had suffered a lot because of the long journey and resistance, her eyes were a little sad, but Gu Mingyan only softly comforted him as she raised her head to look at him: "I thought you were just an impulsive prince."

"Indeed, I am more impulsive than you think." Duan Tuo was sitting at the table drinking tea. His gaze swept across Gu Tinyan from top to bottom. It was more like he was looking at a rare treasure. That kind of gaze made Gu Mingyan frown.

"I don't want to know who the person behind you is. I just want to know why you kidnapped me." Gu Daiyan pulled Qing Qing into his embrace, her fingertips sliding down his back while her other hand pressed against the back of his head. She kissed his hair like she was a treasure, her gaze devout and her voice gentle: "Mom will not risk your life in the future, can Qing forgive me?"

Duan Feng, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.

The child, who hadn't been crying all this time, was now sobbing softly in Gu Pingyan's arms. However, this lady, who was supposed to be a lady from a noble family, just smiled as she kissed the child's sparkling tears. The warmth in her eyes was about to spill out, while her two arms were always passing by the child's body at the right time, as if she was checking to see if he was injured, and was even hoping the child would apologize.

That overly thin finger seemed to be extremely powerful, and after receiving Qing Ze's apology, Gu Liuyan was even laughing heartily. However, when that pair of eyes that were overflowing with tenderness looked at Duan Gun, it was even more piercing than a knife, and the voice was even more sinister: "Tell me, what is your purpose."

How interesting.

Duan Feng had never felt that a motherly girl could be so beautiful. The coldness in her eyes was like the coldness when a peach flower is hit by a rain.

"What status do you think you have to negotiate with me?"

"Based on the fact that you're threatening me with hostages and not directly taking me away, you must have a request from me." Gu Danyan covered his ears with both hands and turned his head to look at Yun Qingyang, who looked fine. He threw a comforting look at him and didn't even look at Duan Feng: "And they are two hostages. What do you want from me? Or perhaps, what do you want me to do? "

"I can torture you at any time." Duan Feng clenched the cup in her hand tightly. He was almost angered by Gu Liuyan.

"Of course you can. However, since you are able to hide like this, you should know what sort of person I am. In any case, I won't give up my principles for the sake of my own life or the lives of others. Gu Daiyan loosened his ear, placed her on his knee and sat beside him: "Qingze, do you still remember what mother taught you?"

Qing Shui's round eyes looked at the bad man who had tied him up, and he sobbed, "It would be better to just leave everything in pieces."

[What a great man, he would rather be smashed into pieces than die!]

Duan Feng almost bit her teeth into pieces. Gu Mingyan was really not a simple person.

A paralyzed man walked in from outside the door. "The servants have all gone back. There's nothing out of the ordinary."

After he finished speaking, the paralyzed man's gaze fell on Gu Danyan, and Eunuch Wu, who followed closely behind, also glanced at Gu Danyan. The two of them seemed to be shocked that Gu Danyan did not shout or struggle, and Duan Feng did not even shackle her.

"Your Highness, this woman isn't simple." The yin aura on Eunuch Wu's face completely dissipated, leaving only a cold expression.

"I know I'm not simple, so you think that you can pin me down here with just a little shackle and not give up on two of my brave family members to bite their tongues and commit suicide?" Gu Mingyan grabbed Qing Ze's shoulder and sneered, "Or maybe you want to throw me onto your Highness's bed and think about what kind of virtue I would use on her?"

After thinking of all the possible methods they could use, they finally understood. Gu Liuyan looked like he was very skillful, and didn't seem like he was being controlled by anyone at all.

"What can I do? Even he said that this woman isn't easy to deal with!" Duan Feng smashed the cup in her hand onto the table with a bang, and the anger on her face didn't fade in the slightest.

"So the person behind you is Gu Cheng?" Gu Mingyan opened her mouth.

The three men looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, and the paralyzed man even wanted to draw his sword.

"In that case, I understand." "That's why Gu Cheng working for Duan Chengrui or for others is only a pretense. The reason is that when you reach the age when you can fight for the throne, and because you've hidden yourself too deeply, your foundation won't be stable yet, so the best way is to scatter the four candidates and then you can sit back and watch. When the time comes, you can appear and mediate when they're about to kill each other …"

Instead, he smirked: "Moreover, Mu Qing doesn't seem to have reached an agreement with you two yet, but you all urgently need him. The only possibility is that he might be immortal, and Gu Cheng doesn't seem to like his children that much. However, he's so loyal to you alone, and why do you trust him so much?"

Her bright eyes stared fixedly at Duan Feng: "You are not a good chess piece, and you won't be able to sit in your position for long. Therefore, Gu Cheng is your father, and your mother is his true love, causing him to even steal away the woman she should have given to the late emperor, my mother."

Nothing in this world came from nowhere, and there was no one-sided wish, only cause and effect.

In that instant, Duan Feng's imposing manner weakened as if someone had stabbed her weak spot. With an awkward expression, she took a step back while the blade of the paralyzed man landed on his neck amidst a cry of alarm.

"You know too much."

"It's precisely because I know too much that you don't dare to kill me." "I had thought that Gu Cheng had originally married his mother for the sake of immortality. But now, it seems that it was precisely because the late emperor had taken his lover that he would go and snatch away the late emperor's original body, then learn about the matter of longevity. From the moment he said that my mother had colluded with the Second Prince, I should have known that my mother was trapped in the Prime Minister's Estate. If I was truly able to collude with the Second Prince, I wouldn't end up in the end.

The saber blade was gently pushed aside, but Gu Pingyan continued to walk forward and hold onto Duan Feng's collar, "You're the emperor's child, yet you're being used for the sake of your mother's beloved. Aren't you afraid that Gu Cheng will bite you back one day?"
