Prince Duan's Mansion.
"Father knew that Gu Yunsheng was a descendant of the Gu Clan, yet he didn't punish her and Prince Kang?!"
When Prince Duan learned about this from the secret guards, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
"Yes, the information I have gathered is that Gu Yunsheng cured the poison poison on King Kang's son and became the savior of King Kang's family.
The Emperor therefore spared Gu Yunsheng's life, and Gu Yunsheng proposed to stay in the capital temporarily to search for her enemies. At Prince Kang's request, the Emperor agreed.
The secret guard's words left Prince Duan stunned.
"Gu Yunsheng cured the poison on King Kang's son? Which son of King Kang was poisoned?"
"Your Highness, I heard that this is King Kang's second son. He has been poisoned since birth and has not been in good health for over a decade."
Prince Duan frowned, with doubt in his eyes.
"King Kang's second son, Song Wenyu, was poisoned by a Gu? How could he be poisoned? Clearly, back then..."
The person who was poisoned that year should have been King Kang.
But now it seems that King Kang was not poisoned at all!
Prince Duan couldn't figure out what had happened that year that he was unaware of. He pinched his brows, whispered some instructions to the secret guard, and let him leave.
In the following days, people would still talk about the descendants of the Gu Clan and King Kang after dinner, but the atmosphere was much calmer than before.
Especially when they learned that the current emperor had not dealt with the descendants of the Gu Clan, they became curious and wanted to know what would happen next.
If the descendants of the Gu Clan could really stay safely in the capital, perhaps other people from the Gu Clan would gradually flock to the capital. By then, it is possible that the Gu Clan would be able to make a comeback.
That day, Gu Yunsheng put on a veil and left Prince Kang's mansion.
She came out alone, with no one from Prince Kang's Mansion following her.
She turned a corner and walked into an alley. Just when she was halfway there, a man in black landed silently in front of her.
"Miss Gu, please follow me."
"Who is your master?"
Gu Yunsheng was startled and took a step back in a panic.
"Miss Gu will know when she goes there. It's offensive."
After the man in black finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked Gu Yunsheng unconscious with a single blow, then carried her on his shoulders and left.
When Gu Yunsheng woke up again, she found herself sitting and her veil had been taken off.
She looked up and saw Prince Duan sitting opposite her.
Gu Yunsheng's eyes widened slightly, her face filled with disbelief, "Prince Duan? You had me kidnapped? Why did you kidnap me?!"
Prince Duan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Yunsheng's face.
"I'm not kidnapping you, I'm just asking someone to invite Miss Gu to come and sit with me.
If you don't believe me, Miss Gu, take a look. I've had you tied up."
Gu Yunsheng looked down and found that there was indeed no rope on her body.
"I am a stranger to your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty wants to say to me, having me brought here?"
Gu Yunsheng clenched her hands, looking a little nervous and uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Gu. I just thought that Miss Gu looked like an old friend of mine, so I wanted to ask her about her life experience.
"Could Miss Gu tell me about it?"
After Prince Duan finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Gu Yunsheng would be embarrassed, he added, "Of course, if Miss Gu doesn't want to, you don't have to tell her.
I only have one question to ask: does Miss Gu know a woman named Hong Ling?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunsheng's eyelids trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes turned red. "She is my mother."
