After the initial shock, Gu Nian burst into wild laughter.
I almost laughed until I cried.
It wasn't that Gu Ren was laughing at the fact that Xue Qianyu was incapable of being injured, but rather that she was laughing at herself.
She recalled when she first arrived, she was absolutely certain that Lu Zheng was a scumbag, a liar, a macho man who didn't conform to women's values, and a hypocritical villain.
She was certain that Xue Qianyu wouldn't like her because he preferred the kind of innocent, pure-hearted woman like Gu Nian from the books.
As it turned out, reality slapped him in the face.
At this moment, she regained her senses; this was reality, not a book.
In the book, Gu Ren is in charge; in reality, you are in charge. Everyone is in charge of their own life, and the outcome depends on their own creation.
Gu Ren was dumbfounded by Gu Nian's laughter. She took small steps forward and gently grabbed Gu Nian's clothes: "Second sister, are you crazy? Don't worry, the plot has completely changed. Xue Qianyu will be twenty next year. He won't do that for the emperor. He won't get hurt there. He's still capable."
Gu Nian playfully slapped him: "Gu Erdan, let me ask you, aren't you very sad and upset? Watching the plot go off track little by little."
Gu Ren was taken aback, then shook his head: "I'm not sad! There were some things I didn't understand when I first started writing the story. That was the first ancient romance novel I ever wrote as practice! You know, I wrote suspense novels in high school."
Gu Nian: "..."
Okay, I guess I wasted my breath.
...
On the first day of August, Peng Jiajun's ship encountered an accident while sailing at sea.
It wasn't that the ship was overturned by the wind or that it was destroyed; rather, one of the people on board simply vanished into thin air.
The Southern Border Prince, who looked exactly like Yan Mo and was under guard and was unconscious, disappeared.
Madam Peng had the boat thoroughly searched, but they couldn't find the person.
She interrogated Wang Cuishan, who initially denied it, but was eventually tortured by Peng Ze and Gu Hui until he could not die. He then confessed that he had developed an antidote pill, but it was unknown whether it was effective. If he hadn't been rescued, it was very likely that the Prince of Southern Xinjiang would have taken the pill, woken up, and run away on his own.
Peng Ze was so angry that he chopped off Wang Cuishan's other arm as well.
Wang Cuishan glared at Peng Ze with resentment.
Peng Ze didn't care about his gaze and asked him directly why the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang looked just like Yan Mo.
Wang Cuishan remained silent.
Peng Ze sliced Wang Cuishan away, one slice at a time, just like slicing meat.
Wang Cuishan was tortured into confessing once, so naturally he couldn't withstand it a second time.
He said he didn't know what was going on because he hadn't seen the true face of the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang for many years.
Since the war between the Great Zhou and the Southern Frontier ten years ago, the Crown Prince was injured by Yan Mo and has been living in seclusion ever since. Apart from the King and Princess of the Southern Frontier, even the people serving the Crown Prince have never seen his true face.
Many of them were seen when they were young, but it's not surprising that their appearance changes as they grow up.
Because the pain in his body persisted, Wang Cuishan simply recounted the story of the Prince of Southern Xinjiang from childhood to adulthood.
The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang is twenty-three years old this year. He was very handsome when he was a child, and even had some feminine features. It is said that the King of Southern Xinjiang found him a secret medicine and made him grow up soaking in it.
Gu Hui thought about Yan Mo's appearance. The fact that Gu Nian liked him at first sight meant that his looks were naturally exceptional, but no matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with a boy having a girl's appearance.
Gu Hui felt that Wang Cuishan was lying.
But no matter how much he was tormented, Wang Cuishan always gave the same answer.
