"Why are you doing this?" Gu Fanzhi stared at her with resentment.
"Why?" Bei Yutang chuckled. "Your Highness is so smart, couldn't you guess it?"
Gu Fanzhi thought about how he had dealt with her before, and he understood in his heart.
"Did you come here this time to laugh at me? Do you want to see how miserable I am?" Every time Gu Fanzhi said this, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger.
"Humble?" Bei Yutang looked him up and down. "I thought your mother died because of you, and you would blame yourself to death. I came here specially to check on you today, but I never thought you were living so comfortably, unaffected at all. It turns out that those born into an imperial family have the blood of the emperor running cold."
"You..." Gu Fanzhi said angrily, "I will kill you."
Gu Fanzhi rushed forward to kill her, but she kicked him away easily.
"Why humiliate yourself?" Bei Yutang looked at him with a smile, "I came here today to tell you some good news."
Gu Fanzhi didn't care at all about the good news she mentioned.
"Your sweetheart is still alive."
Gu Fanzhi's expression paused, "How is that possible?"
Before, Gao Qin and the others said she had escaped, but he knew in his heart that they had killed her. Although he secretly hated them both, he didn't want to lose his right-hand man, so he pretended not to know and believed them.
Gu Fanzhi didn't know when Bei Yutang left.
While Bei Yutang and Gu Fanzhi were chatting, a thin figure limped into Chang'an City. She looked up at the tall city gate, which seemed like a thousand years ago.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." A servant shouted rudely. Seeing Gu Pianran still standing there, he pushed her to the ground roughly.
Gu Pianran fell down in a mess. When she looked up, she saw a carriage passing by. A breeze blew up the curtain, and through the gap she could see the people in the carriage.
That person was none other than his half-brother.
After they left, the people around them started talking about it.
"Who is this family that is so arrogant?"
"The son of Gu's Trading Company."
"So it's them. Didn't the Gu's Company decline? Why are they still so arrogant?" someone asked in confusion.
"Who knows?"
"If someone is so foolish as to offend the powerful someday, they will be in big trouble."
Everyone was talking, but Gu Pianran listened without saying anything.
Gu Pianran got up from the ground, entered the city, and headed towards the inner city. When she stood in front of the Fourth Prince's mansion, she saw that the door was closed and sealed.
What happened?!
Gu Pianran stopped a middle-aged man and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what happened to the Fourth Prince? Why was his mansion sealed off?"
The man looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"I have a relative working for the mansion, and I traveled several days to come and seek refuge with him. Now that the mansion is sealed, I don't know where to find him."
The middle-aged man suddenly realized and said earnestly, "You don't need to look for them anymore. Your relative has been beheaded."
"W-What happened?"
The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "The Fourth Prince failed to usurp the throne, and his descendants were forced to have their property confiscated or their entire families exterminated. The relative you're looking for is probably already dead."
After the man finished speaking, he left.
Gu Pianran stood there for a long time, and then let out a low sneer, with a sense of joy in the laughter.
