"Wanxin heard you were coming, so she went to the kitchen to make your favorite food." Meng Tan's eyes were full of smiles. "I went to check just now, and Wanxin made a lot, saying she wanted you to take some back."
"Haha, just listening to Uncle Meng's words makes my mouth water." Chang'an said happily, "Bai Lu, go tell Aunt Wanxin that she doesn't need to do so much. Just spend some time with me and talk."
"Miss Bai, Wanxin is in the princess's former courtyard. Go out from here and turn left to get there."
"Thank you, Uncle Meng."
Changan closed the door and returned to the room.
Her body was really not cold-resistant at this moment. In just a short while, she felt extremely cold.
"Princess Xuan." Gu Qingyun always remembered what his father had just said and was extremely respectful in front of Chang'an. "I have something to ask you. Please help me."
Chang'an curled his lips, glanced at his father, and then set his eyes on Gu Qingyun, "Now that we are locked up, we are all family. Since my father let you in, it means that he still recognizes you as his brother. If there are no outsiders here, there is no need to talk about the princess."
Gu Qingyun felt relieved instantly.
Chang'an looked at him with extreme sarcasm in his heart. How could such a cowardly and narrow-minded person be a general of a country?
"Chang'an," Gu Qingyun said directly, "I heard from your grandfather that Prince Xuan already knows about my relationship with Dongfang Ge. But how did you know the Fourth Prince's identity? Does Prince Xuan know about it?"
"How do I know? Uncle is curious?"
Gu Qingyun glanced at the old general and said, "Your grandfather and I are both curious."
"Of course I tricked you into believing it!" Chang'an said calmly, "Don't you see it?"
"!!!" Gu Qingyun's face immediately turned red, he was full of embarrassment, "Haha, Changan, don't joke with me."
"Uncle, do you think Changan is joking?"
“…” Gu Qingyun opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly, "Changan, don't be so naughty, speak properly."
Chang'an put away the smile on his face and looked at Gu Qingyun, "Uncle wants to hear the truth, but Chang'an also wants to hear the truth. When you contacted Dongfang Ge to snatch the Qilin military talisman, did you think about Chang'an's life?"
"..." Gu Qingyun never thought that Chang'an would ask this. He subconsciously looked at his younger brother Gu Qingyun.
Inexplicably, he felt very empty in his heart, thinking of the Junhai Battle that year. At that time, he wanted his younger brother Gu Qingfeng to die. "I, Chang'an... Actually..."
"You haven't thought about it, have you?" Chang'an's voice was flat, without any displeasure. In fact, this result was what Chang'an expected.
"No!" Gu Qingyun said immediately, "Chang'an, you misunderstood. It's not that my uncle didn't care about your life or death, but he didn't even have to consider whether Dongfang Ge would hurt you. Because the emperor of Shijin Kingdom has issued a death order, not allowing Dongfang Ge to hurt you."
Changan frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt, "Explain clearly."
"After your wedding, the royal families and officials of the four kingdoms all knew that Gu Chang'an, the granddaughter of General Gu of Shuzhou, became the Princess of Xuan. At the same time, she was appointed as the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom by the Southern Emperor and was given the title of Princess. And you..."
Gu Qingyun glanced at Gu Qingfeng. He was not sure whether Gu Qingfeng had told Chang'an about the Gu family's affairs, so he didn't know what to say.
"And I." Chang'an guessed what Gu Qingyun was thinking, "I am from the Gu family, and the Gu family originally belonged to the royal family of the Shijin Kingdom. So, the Jin Emperor still wants to control the Southern Kingdom through me, right?"
"Yes." Gu Qingyun was surprised. "How did you know?"
Gu Changan curled his lips, "I'm not a pig-brained person."
“…” The embarrassment on Gu Qingyun’s face was so obvious.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his daughter and didn't blame her. He just said calmly, "Speak properly."
"Yes." Chang'an said with a well-behaved face, "To be honest, as for the identity of the Fourth Prince, based on what I know myself and what my uncle has done, it's not difficult to guess his identity. At least I can guess that he is from the Shijin Kingdom. As for the prince, he just doesn't know, and I don't know. But one thing is certain."
Having said this, Chang An looked directly into Gu Qingyun's eyes and said, "It is clear that he is suffering from a severe cold poison."
"What do you mean by clearly?" Gu Qingyun's forehead was covered with sweat.
"That's right, the prince already knows about you poisoning him." Chang'an said easily, "However, Concubine Tong is not aware of it."
"How did Bei Mingxuan know?" Gu Qingyun felt like his heart was about to jump out, and he felt so anxious that he felt uncomfortable.
"Of course I found out. Do you think I can ask you about specific things?"
General Gu nodded thoughtfully. "Prince Xuan told me that the night before you left Shuzhou, someone broke his wine jug. They found out it was General Qin's men who did it. Was it really General Qin?"
"Yes." Chang'an confirmed.
"That's right." General Gu said to himself, "It means Prince Xuan has no intention of taking the throne, otherwise we would all die without a burial place."
"Dad, I don't understand what you mean." Gu Qingyun was anxious. Seeing that the old general had forgotten that he was in Gu Qingfeng's room, and that Gu Qingfeng and Chang'an were still there, "Who cares if he's a prince or not? If he knows so much, he can only die."
Listening to Gu Qingyun's words, General Gu frowned, "How foolish! Prince Xuan is your niece's husband. If you kill him, how will Chang'an live in the future?"
"..." Gu Qingyun then realized what he had just said, and he subconsciously looked at Chang'an.
But he saw Chang'an looking at him with a smile on his lips. He didn't seem angry at all, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Uncle, being a general must be very tiring for you!"
Gu Qingyun didn't know why the chief suddenly brought up this. He nodded and said, "I'm tired. My brain isn't working well enough."
Chang'an didn't speak immediately, but gave Gu Qingyun a look that said "I knew it".
When Gu Qingyun understood.
Chang An then spoke slowly, "So the ancients said, if one has low moral character but high position, little wisdom but big plans, little strength but heavy responsibilities, it is rare to fail!"
"You..." Gu Qingyun immediately understood what Chang'an meant, "Do you still have eyes for me, your uncle?"
"No!" Chang'an was calm and composed.
Gu Qingyun was angry. He stood up, shook his sleeves, and left.
Changan curled his lips in disapproval, "How petty."
The old general at the side fixed his gaze on Gu Qingfeng, seemingly asking, "Why don't you take care of your own daughter? No matter what he does wrong, he is still her uncle after all."
