Gu Yan said calmly, "I will take Commander Qian's label of 'madman' as a compliment."
Qian Qiu exclaimed, "I still don't understand... how could someone like you have fallen for a five-year-old child ten years ago!?"
“Commander Qian is wrong again. It wasn’t ten years ago, it was fifteen years ago,” Gu Yan corrected him with a smile.
"Fifteen years ago..."
Gu Yan's words surprised not only Qian Qiu but also Su Xu. Fifteen years ago, Xia Fengguang was just a baby. Gu Yan was already a spirited young man at the time. How could he... how could he fall in love with a baby?
Their incomprehension was so extreme that it brought on a look of horror, but Gu Yan didn't mind. He remained as elegant and noble as ever, as gentle and refined as ever. A hint of tenderness peeked out from his eyes, revealing that he was thinking of the person he longed for.
“It’s glamorous, but I’ve been waiting to grow up.” Gu Yan sighed. “You wouldn’t understand how long I’ve waited for this day.”
But what does it matter if they don't understand?
Qian Qiu spoke in astonishment, "Since you like Xia Fengguang so much, did you ever think about what I would do to her during the time I imprisoned her? After all, even without the title of empress, she is still a beauty."
Gu Yan suddenly sneered, "Do you have the right to touch her?"
Qian Qiu was stunned.
“Commander Qian, have you forgotten that five years ago, after you slept in a brothel for one night, you discovered that your manhood had been cut off?” Gu Yan said with amusement. “It is said that it was done by the brothel woman who refused to sell herself.”
"It was you..." Chief Qian cried out, unable to contain himself, "You did this too!"
Qian Qiu was a man who could drink a lot without getting drunk, but that day he only drank three cups of wine before he was completely drunk and unconscious. When he woke up, he felt excruciating pain in his lower body, and the courtesan had already disappeared. Qian Qiu did not tell anyone about this. He was a man, and men care about their reputation, especially when it comes to their manhood.
Faced with Qian Qiu's anger, Gu Yan smiled and said, "You should be glad. If you weren't no longer a man, why would I keep you by Feng Guang's side?"
As for the others, he had leverage over all of the Imperial Guards. Who would dare to touch Her Majesty the Empress?
Gu Yan said with certainty, "Commander Qian, look at you, don't you look quite suitable with a false beard?"
Qian Qiu stopped growing a beard five years ago, but to avoid suspicion, he always wore a fake beard. He considered this a great disgrace, the greatest pain and stain in his life. Although Gu Yan smiled gently, he saw it as sarcasm.
Qian Qiu could no longer restrain himself and charged at Gu Yan with his knife, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"
Before he could get close to Gu Yan, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. His left leg had been separated from his body. After a long time, Qian Qiu finally felt the pain and let out a shrill scream.
Xiao Wo withdrew the silver thread in his hand, and like Xiao Hao, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liao, he looked at the scene in front of him with extreme indifference, as if the one screaming on the ground was not a person, but a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Su Xu's duty has never been to kill, so she turned her back and refused to watch the bloody scene.
Gu Yan walked around Qian Qiu to the door and said, "Tear this person apart."
The four of us replied, "Yes, Master."
