The sparrows perched on the roof of the pavilion were startled and flew away with their wings flapping. A few brown feathers floated and swirled in the air.
Looking at the scarred and crumbling pavilion below, Gu Yanfei's eyes gradually turned cold, and his heart seemed to be struck by lightning. In an instant, he understood some things from his previous life.
What about the pavilion being in disrepair or termites? It was clearly because Prince Kang and Fang Mingfeng were jealous of each other for Gu Yunmeng's favor that the pavilion collapsed.
So, what is the truth about the so-called "life-saving grace" in the previous life?
Gu Yanfei took out a talisman from his pouch, held it between his fingers, and covered the talisman with his wide sleeves.
In the previous life, the Queen Mother and Prince Kang and his mother were able to successfully cover up the truth with lies because not many people knew the truth.
But what if the matter gets out of hand? Gu Yunzhen stood up suddenly, with anxiety on her gentle face, and said, "Second sister, wait for me here, I'll go take a look."
As she spoke, she hurried towards the stairs.
Gu Yanfei's eyes were calm, his lips moved slightly, and he recited the formula silently.
Then, she swung her right arm and threw the talisman in her hand out, her sleeves fluttering like butterflies as she moved.
The talisman floated out lightly, and flew towards the roof of the Rose Pavilion as if it had wings.
"Sister, there's a fire over there!" Gu Yanfei shouted, pointing at the pavilion outside the window.
Gu Yunzhen suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back.
The talisman fell gently on the roof of the pavilion. The moment it touched the glazed tiles, it spontaneously ignited and was swallowed by the flames in the blink of an eye, turning into ashes.
Then, a mushroom-like cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded in the air and spread out...
When Gu Yunzhen got close to the window, this was the scene he saw. The smoke was like several layers of gauze stacked together, making the three people in the pavilion hazy and unclear.
"There's a fire! There's a fire in the pavilion!"
The other people in the garden immediately noticed the large cloud of smoke above the pavilion and thought there was a fire, and started shouting in panic.
After this shout, more and more people noticed the movement at the pavilion and ran towards it in a hurry, startling a flock of birds wherever they passed.
People flocked over here like a hundred birds flocking to the phoenix. The garden was in turmoil. Some people were shouting, some were fetching water, some were looking for help, and some were running to watch the excitement...
The commotion around also alarmed the three people in the pavilion.
Seeing so many people running towards this side, Prince Kang and Fang Mingfeng both changed their expressions. They looked at Gu Yunmeng's torn sleeves at the same time, and they both thought of the same thing.
Gu Yunyan's disheveled appearance was really unsuitable for meeting people, and besides, the two of them were also here...
If this scene was seen by others, it would inevitably cause some groundless speculation and ruin Gu Yunmeng's reputation.
"Let go!" Fang Mingfeng shot a cold look at King Kang. King Kang was not willing to let go, so he responded by stabbing him directly with a sword.
Seeing this, Gu Yunyan pursed her lips tightly, her eyes flickering with light and dark, and said in a slightly deep voice: "I will go by myself!"
She flicked her sleeves heavily, shaking off the two men, and Prince Kang and Fang Mingfeng both subconsciously tried to grab her.
Gu Yunyan walked forward, waving away the two people's hands that were pulling her. During the shoving, she stepped on a piece of broken glazed tile, her foot slipped, her body staggered, and she lost her balance. She fell head-first into the rose garden behind the pavilion...
The rose is extremely beautiful and is known as the "Queen of Flowers", but it is covered with thorns, and its stems are covered with densely packed thorns.
"Auntie!"
King Kang and Fang Mingfeng were both horrified and shouted in panic, attacking almost at the same time.
Gu Yunyan fell backwards, the azure blue sky came into her sight, and a few strands of her hair floated up due to weightlessness...
The next moment, she felt her back tighten, and a strong arm supported her. A gentle blue light appeared in the corners of her eyes. Then, another large hand with calloused skin tightly grasped her wrist and pulled her up...
She uttered a low cry, but the slender blue figure brushed past her and fell into the rose garden, looking at the pain on her handsome face...
It all happened in a flash.
When Gu Yunmeng came back to her senses, her feet had already stepped firmly back onto the ground. She met King Kang's worried and concerned eyes: "Mian'er, are you okay?"
King Kang held Gu Yun'er's left wrist tightly with one hand, and the sword in his other hand had been thrown to the ground.
Before Gu Yunyan could recover from the shock, she heard a panicked scream from the northwest: "Master Fang!"
"Prince Fang fell into the flower garden!"
"Someone come..."
The crowd attracted by the smoke happened to see Fang Mingfeng falling from the flower garden, and also saw Prince Kang and Gu Yunmeng in the pavilion.
Prince Kang held Gu Yunmeng's arm with one hand, his face full of worry, while Gu Yunmeng seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, and he forced himself to remain calm.
A few people noticed that there was a tear on Gu Yun'er's left sleeve. They exchanged glances with doubts and speculations in their hearts.
"Mingfeng!" Gu Yun'er anxiously went to see Fang Mingfeng in the flower garden.
Other people gathered around as well, creating a bustling and chaotic scene.
Fang Mingfeng groaned softly and lay sideways in the blooming rose garden.
The fall just now was not severe, but this flowerbed full of roses was like a trap filled with sharp knives. The moment he landed on the ground, tens of thousands of sharp thorns pierced his body like needles, including his hands, face, neck... Not only the exposed skin, but some of the sharp thorns even pierced through his thin clothes.
Fang Mingfeng propped himself up with his elbows and tried to get up, his thin lips tightly pursed, enduring the pain in his body, all he could hear were gasps coming from all around him.
Half of his face was covered in blood. Not only were there numerous blood holes as big as pinholes, but there was also a thorny stem wrapped around his face and hair. The bright red blood flowed down his face, which was shocking...
A few timid girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they looked away, unable to bear to look.
Gu Yun'er stared at Fang Mingfeng in a daze, feeling sorrow, emotion, worry, and other emotions.
"Quick, go call the doctor!"
I don't know if someone shouted or not, but some people ran away in a hurry, while others came over after hearing the sound.
Gu Yanfei in the Moonlight Tower looked at the chaotic scene from afar, his eyes flickering.
The smoke on the top of the pavilion was gradually blown away by the wind, and Fang Mingfeng's bloody face came into her eyes, overlapping with the ghostly face of Gu Yunzhen in her previous life, which was equally shocking.
I see.
Gu Yanfei finally figured out the reasons and consequences of Gu Yunzhen's disfigurement in his previous life.
