The sixth prince is the crippled, useless, and unloved madman that everyone talks about.
Gu Chuzhi naturally knew that the man was not a madman at all; he was clearly a future tyrant, and his hidden strength was far greater than what everyone could see.
In his previous life, Gu Chuzhi was also unable to deal with the mature and ruthless tyrant. That person had no emotions and no weaknesses. Gu Chuzhi was wise to protect himself at the time, and only managed to save his life by staying away from Shengjing after the tyrant took the throne.
However, his original wife should have stayed in the An family and grown up until she married him.
Yuan Yuan shouldn't have become that tyrant's study companion, and the two of them shouldn't have crossed paths at this time.
Gu Chuzhi was meticulous and realized that the situation seemed to have changed quite a bit. He did not act rashly, but instead secretly observed the situation.
Chenyang Palace appeared to be dilapidated and deserted, but it was surrounded by a number of secret guards. Even Gu Chuzhi, who was quite skilled in martial arts, did not dare to make any rash moves.
Gu Chuzhi waited patiently for several months, but made no progress.
One night, Gu Chuzhi couldn't fall asleep. He inadvertently looked in the direction of Chenyang Palace and saw a huge pink butterfly kite flying in the sky on a windless night.
The pink butterfly kite seemed completely unrelated to the cold-blooded tyrant in Gu Chuzhi's memory.
Gu Chuzhi immediately used his lightness skill, dressed in night clothes, and took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into Chenyang Palace.
That night, all the guards stationed at Chenyang Palace used their lightness skills to make the butterfly fly through the air. That night was the night when the guards at Chenyang Palace were most lax, and it was also the only night that Gu Chuzhi managed to sneak into Chenyang Palace without alerting anyone.
Hiding in the shadows, Gu Chuzhi could hardly believe what he was seeing. It turned out that the tyrant had used so many guards and made such a big show just to make the girl in his arms smile, just to fulfill a trivial wish of hers.
The butterfly kite spread its wings and flew freely in the darkness, the only bright spot in the entire night.
The girl in the tyrant's arms had bright, smiling eyes that outshone even the brightest colors, captivating all who saw her.
And this girl was none other than An Yuan'er, whom Gu Chuzhi was looking for.
Gu Chuzhi watched as the girl fawned over, flattered, and became affectionate towards another man. The girl who had once only shown tenderness to him was now smiling so brightly in another man's arms.
At that moment, Gu Chuzhi heard the sound of his heart tearing into pieces.
In her ear was the girl's familiar, soft, and adorable baby voice.
"Ali, Ali, you're so amazing! You can do anything! You can fly a kite even without wind, it's incredible!"
"Yuan'er's favorite person is Ali. Yuan'er wants to stay with Ali forever."
The girl spoke so sincerely, yet every word pierced Gu Chuzhi's heart.
Gu Chuzhi understood perfectly well that the adoration and love in a girl's eyes could not be faked.
Gu Chuzhi had no choice but to admit that the girl had fallen for someone else. She had truly fallen for that tyrant.
But how could she fall in love with a tyrant!
That man is so dangerous, that tyrant who only knows how to kill, how could he possibly be kind to a girl?
Gu Chuzhi firmly believed that his Yuanyuan must have been deceived.
But when he applied the reality to Yi Chenli, he once again contradicted himself.
