Prince Duan gritted his teeth and said, "Go investigate! Find out the origins of that woman!"
"yes."
Prince Duan recalled Gu Yunsheng's appearance and his heart suddenly ached.
He held his chest tightly, the pain as if he was bitten by thousands of insects made veins bulge on his forehead, and soon his whole body was drenched in sweat.
The pain in his heart gradually subsided, and Prince Duan was gasping for breath, his face pale.
He couldn't remember how many times.
The pain has been going on for more than ten years every day.
He only regretted that he didn't decisively kill that woman Hong Ling back then!
Instead, it gave Hong Ling the opportunity to put a curse on him!
The woman Song Mubai brought back was exactly like Hong Ling!
She is definitely Hong Ling's daughter!
What a pity, that evil creature is still alive!
Prince Duan recalled the past, his face was grim and his teeth were almost broken.
Gu Yunsheng, who was shopping with Song Mubai, suddenly had her eyelids twitching and a bad premonition arose in her heart. She frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Song Mubai noticed something strange about Gu Yunsheng.
Gu Yunsheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something else."
Song Mubai didn't think much about it and didn't ask any more questions.
The moon is on the branches, Prince Duan’s Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I have found out that the girl brought back by Prince Kang has an ancient surname and name called Yunsheng.
Miss Gu was an orphan, her parents had died a few years ago. When she was traveling around, she met the Prince of Kang who was also traveling abroad, and they traveled together.
The entire Kangwang Mansion family treated Miss Gu very well, and the servants even treated her with a hint of respect. I don't know why."
The subordinate's words made Prince Duan narrow his eyes slightly.
"Gu Yunsheng? Her last name is Gu. Hong Ling died a long time ago. No wonder Gu Yunsheng came to the capital!
Have you found out how old Gu Yunsheng is this year?"
"Your Highness, I heard that Miss Gu has reached the age of marriage this year."
Prince Duan sneered, "Their ages match, so it seems she is the bastard!
Presumably, Prince Kang had no idea that Gu Yunsheng was actually a descendant of the Gu Clan, otherwise he wouldn't have let her live in Prince Kang's Mansion for such a long time!
Are you a descendant of the Gu Clan? Such a good opportunity has been handed to me!"
Prince Duan's tone became playful, and he whispered instructions to his subordinates.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
......
For a period of time before, the only thing that the people in the capital could talk about after dinner was Prince Li’s failed rebellion.
Talking about this over and over again is really boring.
The common people were all hoping that something interesting would happen among the princes and nobles so that they would have something to talk about.
Well, these past two days, everyone finally has something new to talk about.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? The descendants of the Gu Clan have appeared in the capital!"
In the teahouse, everyone gathered together to discuss.
"I heard that. I also heard that the descendants of the Gu Clan are now living in Prince Kang's Mansion!
And he has a pretty good relationship with the people in Prince Kang's Palace!"
"Why is it Prince Kang's Mansion again? I feel like everything that happened this year is somehow related to Prince Kang's Mansion."
"Really? Prince Kang is restless!"
"Prince Kang is so bold that he actually dares to let the descendants of the Gu Clan live in his own home. Is he really not afraid of being punished after being discovered by the Emperor?
Or is it that Prince Kang is fearless because he is the emperor's favorite prince? "
"Well, what you said, can't it be that Prince Kang didn't know about it? I heard that the descendant of Gu Clan was brought back by Prince Kang's son, and the two met outside.
Maybe Prince Kang was deceived by the Gu Clan, and no one in Prince Kang’s Mansion knew about it!
Everyone in the capital knows that people from the Gu Clan are not allowed to appear in the capital, let alone have anything to do with them.
Prince Kang must know more about this than any of us! This might just be a misunderstanding."
"Who knows, whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we should know soon.
We've all been discussing this, and the Emperor must have heard about it too. It all depends on what he'll do next."
"Well, let's wait and see what happens. This year, the royal family has had a lot of fun."
.....
As the people guessed, the old emperor also heard about this.
But he knew a little more than the people.
"Did Prince Duan actually let this matter leak out?"
The old emperor was a little surprised when he heard An Yi's report.
“Yes, the young lady living in Prince Kang’s mansion is a descendant of the Gu Clan, and it seems that this young lady and Prince Duan are acquaintances.
After Prince Duan learned that Miss Gu was living in Prince Kang's mansion, he sent people to investigate her, and then had people spread the news that a descendant of the Gu Clan was living in Prince Kang's mansion throughout the capital."
An Yi reported the truth.
"So this is true. Have you found out what the relationship is between Miss Gu and Prince Duan?"
The old emperor continued to ask.
An Yi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I haven't found anything yet."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes, displeasure evident in his cloudy eyes.
“An Yi, your ability wasn’t like this before.
If you don't want to be the First Secret Guard, there are plenty of Secret Guards willing to take your place."
An Yi knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"That's enough. You can only say these few words over and over again!"
The old emperor looked displeased, "You go and do this, I'll give you another chance.
If you fail again, don't blame me for letting you step down from your position as An Yi!"
