"Hong Ling is your mother?"
Prince Duan repeated it as if in disbelief, then sighed, "So that's how it is! No wonder Miss Gu looks so similar to Hong Ling.
I was still wondering, how could there be two people in this world who are so similar!
Miss Gu, what about your father? Hong Ling and I were old acquaintances, but I had no idea she had a crush on a man, let alone that she was pregnant.
It was not until I went to look for her later that I learned that she had already left the capital.
"How are your father and mother these years?"
Gu Yunsheng lowered her eyes, a flash of hatred in her eyes.
"My father and mother passed away a few years ago. It turns out that the prince and my mother were old acquaintances, but I have never heard my mother mention the prince.
Otherwise, when I arrive in the capital, I will first come to your house to visit the prince."
"Dead? What a pity, good people don't live long!"
Prince Duan's face was full of regret.
"Miss Gu, your mother and I are old acquaintances, and you are old enough to be my daughter.
If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me and I will definitely protect you!"
Gu Yunsheng looked up at Prince Duan, her eyes filled with tears. She stood up moved and was about to salute Prince Duan, but Prince Duan gave her a light support.
"Miss Gu, there's no need to be so polite."
"Your Highness, thank you so much! I thank you on behalf of my mother!"
Gu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with tears. She looked like an innocent little girl who believed whatever others said.
"Your Majesty, do you know who hunted down my mother back then?
A few years ago, before my mother died, she asked me to come to the capital to seek revenge on my enemies, but she passed away before she could finish her words.
I finally arrived in the capital, but I was really confused and didn't know where to find my enemy.
Your Highness should know that my identity as a commoner was exposed in the capital some time ago.
Fortunately, I saved the second son of Prince Kang and cured him of the poison, becoming Prince Kang's savior. Only then did the emperor allow me to stay in the capital temporarily until I found my enemy.
I really don't have any clue about my enemy. Since my mother and I are old acquaintances, does Your Highness know anything about what happened back then?"
Gu Yunsheng's question made Prince Duan's eyes flash.
"King Kang's second son was actually poisoned by a Gu? Do you know how he got poisoned?"
There was a hint of temptation in Prince Duan's words.
Gu Yunsheng shook her head and said, "I don't know. Although I have lived in Prince Kang's Mansion for some time, the people in Prince Kang's Mansion are not close to me.
I don't know how the second son of King Kang was poisoned."
He lowered his head as if pretending to think. "So that's how it is. Actually, I do know a thing or two about what happened back then. But, Miss Gu, do you really want to know? This might... shock you."
Gu Yunsheng's breathing quickened, and her beautiful eyes widened. "Your Highness! I want to know! Please tell me who the enemy of me and my mother is!"
Prince Duan sighed, as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, since you want to know, then I will tell you.
The people who hunted down your mother were sent by King Kang!"
Gu Yunsheng's pupils constricted upon hearing this, her face filled with disbelief. "Kang, King Kang?! Why King Kang?"
Prince Duan's gaze fell out the window, as if he was lost in memories.
"Don't underestimate the affection between Prince Kang and his wife, but more than ten years ago, Prince Kang also frequently visited brothels.
I don't know if your mother has ever told you that she used to be a brothel owner.
Prince Kang and Hong Ling met in a brothel, and for unknown reasons, Prince Kang learned that Hong Ling was a descendant of the Gu Clan..."
