"Xiaoli, you're here."
The old princess held Xiaoli's hand. She knew that keeping the child would be unfair to Xiaoli, but this child was the bloodline of the Gu family and could not be allowed to wander outside.
Xiao Li didn't speak, she just looked at the child.
The old princess repeatedly assured, "Xiaoli, this child will stay here. I will never let him get in your way. When he turns eighteen, I will arrange a marriage for him and then let him move out."
Xiao Li thought for a while, "What should I do if he finds out about her mother later?"
The old princess was speechless. This child was born with original sin, and she couldn't bring herself to say that she wouldn't seek revenge in the future.
After saying this, Xiao Li got up to take her leave.
“Mother, you should know that the truth will eventually come out. You should decide what to do with this child.”
Xiao Li returned to her room; now it was up to the old princess.
The old princess pondered for a whole day, and the next day a carriage quietly left the palace and headed towards the countryside.
Gu Sinian was sent to a remote rural area. Xiao Li sent Xiao Jiu and Huan Ling with him. On the way, Huan Ling cast an illusion on him, and he would not remember anything.
The carriage traveled through the countryside, and eventually, even the driver got lost. He didn't know how he got back to the palace; he only knew that his young master was missing.
The old princess did not severely punish the coachman, but only fined him three months' wages.
She seemed to age ten years in an instant, muttering to herself.
"Since fate is so unavoidable, let's just pretend this child never existed."
Granny Rong massaged the old princess's legs, silently comforting her.
“Master, I dumped that boy in a farmhouse a hundred thousand miles away, and left him a bag of silver. The family there is quite kind and should treat the child well.”
Xiao Li nodded. There was nothing more left. She didn't know if the child was innocent or not, but she wouldn't kill the child.
Gu Fei was no longer able to attend court, so the old princess went to see the emperor and empress and passed the throne to Gu Qingpei, making Gu Qingpei the youngest prince.
During this time, the Miao prince sent someone to inquire when Lan Lingjing would return to Miao territory.
Lan Lingjing personally stepped forward, stating that she would stay in the capital and resign from her position as Holy Maiden.
Xiao Li didn't know what price she paid, but after the prince's men left, Lan Lingjing was bedridden for three days before she could get out of bed.
The old princess was indeed old, and she was overthinking things. Three months later, she passed away.
Xiao Li prepared a small courtyard in the most remote part of the Prince's Mansion, and had Gu Fei and Lan Lingjing move there. Then she sealed the courtyard gate and left the two of them to fend for themselves.
The Amorous Gu is a very special existence. The possessor of the offspring Gu will love the possessor of the mother Gu to the bone, but she is actually clear-headed. She can feel her own thoughts, but she cannot control her body.
The mother Gu owner can also fall in love with the child Gu owner, but she is more clear-headed and can express her likes and dislikes.
Let the two of them love and hate each other for the rest of their lives.
Looking at Gu Qingpei's sleeping face, Xiao Li thought, "This child is really well-behaved. I'm almost reluctant to leave him."
"Tongzi, let's go!"
123 happily agreed, "Okay!"
When Feng Xiaoli came to her senses, she found herself in her son Gu Qingpei's room, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
She failed to protect the child, causing him to lose his life at such a young age.
Looking at her unharmed son, she was surprised to recall recent events, and she could vaguely recall what had happened.
"I see, thank you!"
She bowed to the void, sincerely thanking the mysterious woman.
