"Father is curious." Although Gu Qingfeng already knew what happened in the mansion yesterday,
But after thinking it over, he felt something was wrong. "The Fourth Prince is different from the Crown Prince. He is a cautious and suspicious person. Something like that shouldn't happen. Especially since he cares about the Emperor's opinion."
In her previous life, she did not listen to her father and treated animals as good people, leaving behind countless regrets and remorse, scarring herself and not having a good end.
In this life, Chang'an didn't intend to hide it from her father, who was her closest relative. "Yesterday, the Fourth Prince's target was my daughter, and I was unwilling to be used.
Dad has always seen it clearly. He has been using his daughter from the beginning. His so-called love is just an excuse."
Gu Qingfeng frowned, and the teacup in his hand just touched his lips and then fell down again. He looked straight into Chang'an's eyes.
This was the first time since Changan grew up that he looked into her eyes so carefully and seriously. They were clear and penetrating, and if you looked at them for a long time, you would be drawn in. "Father, I don't know when you understood."
Gu Changan no longer wanted to hide the fact from her father, nor could she tell him that she had died once. "It was Aunt Wanxin who reminded her that she paid attention to it.
My aunt said that the Fourth Prince always said he admired her and didn't care about her face, but when he faced his daughter,
His eyes were cold, and if you looked closely, you could even see disgust. So my daughter took notice, noticed, and became wary.
During this conversation, Chang'an told Gu Qingfeng what happened between the Fourth Prince and his cousin Gu Shijia yesterday, with some deletions and additions.
"You shouldn't have involved your cousin." Gu Qingfeng said with a hint of blame, "Now that you understand, just stay away.
She was the one the Emperor arranged to marry the Crown Prince. Now that this has happened, I'm sure your grandfather will be in trouble for a while."
"Just think of it as fulfilling my elder sister's wish. The one in her heart has always been the Fourth Prince, not the Crown Prince." Chang'an said with a slight smile, his words were half true and half false.
"I believe that my cousin will be alright. Grandfather and uncle are both highly regarded by the Emperor, and the General's Mansion holds a pivotal position in the court."
Gu Qingfeng didn't say anything more about this matter. He thought to himself that as long as his daughter was fine, he could not care less about the other people in the general's mansion.
He was not completely unaware of the defeat on the battlefield that year. He rejected that truth from the bottom of his heart, but the facts were the facts and could not be changed.
"Well, as you said, your uncle won't let anything happen to Shijia." Gu Qingfeng sighed, his eyes falling on the Ice Silkworm Mask in the wooden box. "Now you can tell me how your Ice Silkworm Mask ended up in the hands of the Ninth Prince."
Chang'an always thought that Bei Mingxuan would say something when he presented the ice silkworm to his father. "I wonder what the Ninth Prince would say."
"He just said that the world misjudged you." Gu Qingfeng looked into Chang'an's eyes, especially thinking about the change in Chang'an during this conversation. "Perhaps, as a father, I have misjudged my daughter over the years, just like everyone else."
"Last night, I suspect the Ninth Prince saw everything that happened between the Fourth Prince and my cousin from beginning to end.
That's why he became curious about me, took the dominoes my mother left me, and led me to his mansion."
Chang'an no longer hid anything from his father. He reported everything that happened in Bei Mingxuan's mansion truthfully. "As for martial arts... I was also confused. Later I realized that the handwritten Buddhist scripture my mother left me was a manual of internal skills."
Gu Qingfeng knew about the handwritten Buddhist scripture. He didn't think there was anything different when he saw it at that time, but now after hearing Chang'an mention it and thinking about it carefully, he instantly understood the mystery.
I guess my wife disrupted the order of the mind method and mixed it with Buddhist words, making it look like just an ordinary Buddhist scripture.
"If my guess is correct, then that Buddhist scripture must be the secret method of the Drizzle Sword." Gu Qingfeng had a slight smile on his lips, and a hint of longing in his eyes.
He thought of his wife. "Back then, your mother accidentally obtained the Drizzle Sword's inner skills, but this skill was not suitable for her, so your mother did not learn the martial arts from it, but kept it quietly."
"Why not?" Chang'an asked, "Aunt Wanxin only told me that the Buddhist scripture my mother left me was a manual of internal energy, but she never mentioned its name."
"Wanxin never mentioned the name because she didn't know. Your mother never told her." Gu Qingfeng explained, "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Drizzle Sword is extremely powerful.
The drizzle falls silently, hurting people invisibly without a sound. By the time the other party feels it, it is already too late.
This sword has been coveted by people in the martial arts world for a long time. If people knew that she had the secret of the Drizzle Sword in her hands, she would probably have no peace of mind.
As for being unsuitable, it's because your mother already has martial arts skills. If you want to learn them, you must completely abandon the martial arts you've learned before you can relearn the Drizzle Heart Method."
"It seems like this is really fate. I didn't know anything in this general's mansion, but now it has fulfilled my wish." Chang'an said casually, "Since it depends on fate, I'll just go with the flow. Maybe one day the Drizzle Sword will suddenly appear before me."
Gu Qingfeng smiled, pushed the ice silkworm in front of Chang'an and said, "Please keep this ice silkworm. Besides being able to change one's appearance, the most important thing is that it has the effect of being immune to all poisons."
"Immune to all poisons?" Chang'an was surprised.
She wondered in her heart, if she was really immune to all poisons, how could she have been deceived by the 'phantom fragrance' in her previous life?
Gu Qingfeng continued to explain, "This immunity to all poisons is only useful to you. If anyone else takes it away, it will at most be a disguise."
"Why?" Chang'an was even more confused.
"Bring me your domino." Gu Qingfeng carefully stroked the domino. "Do you know the origin of this domino, or who Master Mayfly is?"
"I know. It was Aunt Wanxin who mentioned it." Gu Changan was curious, and at the same time thought that Bei Mingxuan also knew about dominoes.
Gu Qingfeng thought of his master's expression when he first saw the dominoes on Chang'an. "The Ice Silkworm Mask was made by my father's master. He and Master Mayfly were fellow disciples. The dominoes and the Ice Silkworm complement each other, so when the two appear together, they have the effect of being immune to all poisons."
At that time, after seeing the dominoes on your body, my master said, "If we are destined to be together, we must fulfill it," so he gave you the ice silkworm.
You were still young at that time, so your father asked Wanxin to put the ice silkworm into your longevity lock.
Later, when Shijia pushed you off the rockery and injured your face, I took the opportunity to use ice silkworms to hide your true appearance."
