In her life in the Yaoling Realm, she had no father or mother and was picked up by her master when she was five years old.
The master once calculated her fortune and said that she was born with the Seven Killings, and was not favored by the Heaven and would be abandoned by the Heaven.
It takes her ten years, a hundred times the effort, which would take ordinary people one year to make up for the flaws in her fate. She is incomparable to those who are the sons of luck and the darlings of heaven.
Therefore, even though she had a natural spiritual root, her cultivation was not going smoothly.
Even though he tried his best, it took him nearly two hundred years to get the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, he was once again burdened by the inner demons from his previous life, fell in the heavenly calamity, and returned to this small world.
Start all over again...
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei's face showed an expression that was both happy and somewhat sympathetic and sad.
In fact, they really share the same suffering! Although he thought so, Gu Yanfei was merciless when playing chess, and one black piece after another killed the white pieces aggressively.
"..." Chu Yi was confused by her expression that seemed to be both pity and amusement. He nimbly moved the white piece between his fingers from his index finger to his little finger, and then back to between his index and middle fingers.
He gently dropped the white piece between his fingers.
The chess game changed because of this move. The originally separated black pieces became one piece, and the black and white pieces were evenly matched.
Gu Yanfei looked at the evenly matched chess game in front of him, pursed his lips and smiled, his calm eyes like a deep pool of water, unfathomable and profound.
She took out a small porcelain vase with a white background and blue flowers from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
"If you 'need' to get sick, just take one pill. Within the next month, your pulse will become weak and insufficient, like a patient with congenital deficiencies."
Gu Yanfei pushed the small porcelain bottle in front of Chu Yi, and after a pause, he added: "My medicine is harmless to your body." He has good vision!
Chu Yi smiled gently, as if he had read her thoughts, and said with a double meaning: "Of course."
A little light appeared in his black jade eyes, and the upturned corners of his eyes curved into a small arc.
The three previous encounters made Chu Yi realize that Gu Yanfei was extraordinary, so when he was at Prince Jing's Mansion that day, he went to the carriage to chat with her for a few words.
It's a pleasure to work with smart people.
Both of them had smiles in their eyes and exchanged tacit smiles.
Chu Yixin picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table, poured the pill in the bottle into his mouth, rolled his throat up and down, and swallowed the pill into his stomach.
Gu Yanfei: “…”
Gu Yanfei watched his every move, smiled, and thought: This guy really dares to eat anything! Chu Yi's trust made her very happy. She couldn't hide her joy at all. Her smile was bright, and her black pupils were filled with joy. It was obviously winter, but it made people feel as if they were in the spring of March.
She felt that they were both the same, both were disliked by the heavens... and neither was prepared to sit and wait for death.
Heaven will not favor one person endlessly, even if he is the chosen one.
The way of heaven will not endlessly dislike a person.
They are not hopeless.
Gu Yanfei picked up another black piece with a smile.
As the move was made, it seemed as if something invisible had been settled, and a kind of unspoken understanding lingered between the two.
The cold wind blew, and the half-lifted and half-dropped bamboo curtain made a slight rustling sound. Outside the window, three or four half-yellow sycamore leaves swirled in the air and floated down.
The uncle and the nephew looked at each other quietly, neither of them looked away.
Yuan Zhe, who was standing behind him, saw that Chu You had not yet boarded the carriage, and called out softly, "Your Highness?"
Chu You didn't move at all, still looking up at Chu Yi at the window on the second floor, and said calmly: "It's Chu Yi."
In this huge capital city, there are only a handful of people who can address the eldest prince by his name so bluntly.
Yuan Zhe was startled and looked up, following Chu You's gaze, and met a handsome unfamiliar face beside the bamboo curtain.
The warm winter sun softly shines on the bamboo curtain of the second-floor window. Behind the other side of the bamboo curtain, you can see a shadowy and slender figure sitting opposite Chu Yi.
Yuan Zhe couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but from her graceful figure and soft profile visible through the gaps in the bamboo curtain, he could tell that she was a beauty.
Yuan Zhe looked at him for a moment, then turned to Chu You and asked, "Your Highness, now that the eldest prince has returned to the capital, has he attended court to govern the country?"
"No." Chu You shook his head, his sharp eagle eyes flashed with a sharp light like a knife in the sunlight, and his voice gradually became colder, "The emperor does have this intention."
Yuan Zhe's face straightened and he lowered his voice and said, "We must not give in on this matter."
"Your Majesty is testing us. If your Majesty gets what he wants, the next step will be to appoint a crown prince!"
"Humph, the eldest prince went to South Vietnam when he was ten years old. How could those Yue people educate him well and make him an enemy of South Vietnam? I'm afraid the eldest prince has been spoiled a long time ago. Look, he just came back and he's traveling with beauties. It's really outrageous!"
Yuan Zhe sneered disdainfully: "I heard that the eldest prince has a weakness from birth... He has no talent or virtue, and is weak, so it is difficult for him to take on such a great responsibility!"
His last sentence had a hint of giving instructions to the country.
Chu You withdrew his gaze and narrowed his slender eyes as he thought.
He was about the same age as Chu Yi, but Chu Yi had lived in the East Palace with his father since he was young. They only saw each other a few times during the holidays and had no other contact... Later, Chu Yi went to Nanyue as a hostage and was away for eight years.
Since Chu Yi returned to the capital last month, he has only seen his nephew three times. The first time was the day Chu Yi returned to the palace, the second time was in his mother's Shoukang Palace, and the third time was today.
He couldn't see through his nephew.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Zhe added cautiously, "Although the eldest prince is not talented, he is the emperor's only son after all. Your Highness is too careless and let him return to the capital alive."
If Chu Yi had died on the way back to Beijing, they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble now.
"..." Chu You was silent, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were gloomy.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Yuan Zhe asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Chu You carefully considered his words and said slowly: "Chu Yi is either very good at hiding himself, or he is very lucky."
Whenever Chu You thought of the events in Danyang City, he was puzzled, as if he was in a thick fog.
Chu You had people chasing Chu Yi since he entered the territory of Da Jing Dynasty, but Chu Yi had escaped time and again. He calculated that Chu Yi would have to pass through Danyang City to return to Beijing, so he sent people to wait for him in Danyang City. Danyang City was his territory, and He Zhifu was his man. As long as Chu Yi came to Danyang City, he would be unable to escape.
However, his plan went awry.
The people of Nanyue caused chaos in Danyang City and burned down the Danyang government office, alarming the entire Danyang city.
