Chapter 21 The memory of death attacks me
"Over the years I've always believed that your personalities have changed with age, but now it seems that's not the case. Since the day we returned to Kyoto, your personalities have changed a lot, and your relationship has become distant, to the point where you've become sworn enemies who will never talk to each other again. What exactly happened in the Fuhua Cave back then?" Sang Yan was already certain of his guess.
The child in Changyang Palace is the child of one of them.
Zhan Chi pursed his lips and his face turned pale. Those memories always scared him so much that he couldn't fall asleep in his dreams at midnight.
Qianfan Ji clenched his fingers slightly in his sleeves. Nanyuan was the last thing he wanted to think about. However, they owed a favor to someone in Fuhua Cave at that time.
A hint of strangeness appeared on Gu Shuo's indifferent face.
"If you still consider me a friend, then tell me the truth about whose child that child belongs to." Sang Yan's tone became slightly heavier.
The three of them were silent for a long time, and Qian Fanji shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."
"Why are you not sure?" Sang Yan was puzzled.
"Back then, the four of us were poisoned by a Gu, and it was a woman who cured us." Qian Fanji said.
"A beautiful woman saving a hero is indeed a beautiful story, and it's natural to be moved by her feelings. But since you are already husband and wife, why not bring her back to Kyoto? What's the point of keeping her in Nanyuan?"
"Things are rather complicated." Qian Fanji lowered his head, seemingly struggling with his thoughts.
Some things are hard to talk about.
Sang Yan frowned. The expressions of the three people in front of him were indescribable. What on earth was making them so embarrassed?
Gu Shuo's face was stern and his voice was deep: "The love Gu among the four of us."
“…”
Sang Yan was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically when he realized what was happening.
Nanyuan Love Gu is an extremely rare and potent insect poison. Anyone who is infected with it must... otherwise they will surely die within a short period of time.
The four of them were brought out unharmed, and one can imagine what happened.
"Then...were you all...rescued by the same person?" Sang Yan asked.
Qian Fanji nodded.
Sang Yan was stunned——
"Zhan Chi discovered the child when he entered Kyoto City. He thought someone was behind it, so he didn't alert the enemy."
"What did you find out?"
"There is nothing suspicious about the old woman and the child. The people from Nanyuan sent news that she is indeed Ye Qian's daughter. The old woman who took care of her brought her all the way from Nanyuan. This matter involves four people. We think we should wait for General Xiang to return to Beijing, and then the four of us will meet the child together before making plans." Qian Fanji said.
Sang Yan nodded: "He will be staying at the Emperor's uncle's house for the time being. When General Xiang returns, you can all use blood to identify your relatives one by one."
After all, a child has only one father.
Gu Shuo didn't care: "Just do it, it won't be my daughter anyway."
"Of course she is not my daughter." Zhan Chi was disgusted.
Although Qian Fanji didn't say anything, he also felt in his heart that the fat baby couldn't be his daughter.
"Don't deny it so quickly. I think the child is good. She is good-looking, well-behaved and smart. You are all in your twenties. Except for General Xiang who has many wives and concubines, you don't even have a wife yet. How long will the family rely on you to continue the family line?" Sang Yan finally understood why they hated women so much.
"There's nothing wrong with being single. The Gu family is so prosperous, it's not my turn to carry on the family line." Gu Shuo shrugged indifferently.
He is no longer a member of the Gu family. He can get married whenever he wants. Of course, he has extremely high requirements for women, and ordinary people are not in his eyes.
