Chapter 573 Designing to Lose Virginity
Xu Feng was clearly not satisfied with the beggar's attitude and was about to say something to him when Yun Yichen stopped him.
"Then I will be waiting for you here tomorrow, sir."
Yun Yichen bowed and then turned and left the alley with Xu Feng.
The next day, Yun Yicheng arrived as promised!
The beggar was still wearing the same tattered clothes as yesterday, but this time his face was unusually clean.
When Yun Yichen saw him, he first respectfully performed a junior's greeting.
The beggar didn't waste any time when he saw him arrive. He immediately handed the powder that Yun Yichen had shown him the day before to Yun Yichen himself, and then told him to take a look and see if there was anything wrong with it.
After only one inspection, Yun Yichen immediately realized that something was wrong with what was inside.
"Sir, did you add something to it?"
Yun Yichen looked up at the beggar, who simply smiled and nodded at him.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yichen examined the powder once again.
This time, instead of just glancing at it briefly as before, he carefully examined the powder, smelling, looking at, and tasting it.
Finally, a look of surprise appeared on Yun Yichen's face.
"Sir, did you add two neutral medications to the medicine?"
Seeing that Yun Yichen could discover the clues in the powder, the beggar nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s right. The young master’s powder already contained enough hallucinogenic drugs, but even so, it might not be effective immediately after being sprayed. If we add two neutral medicinal herbs, it will not affect the drug’s efficacy but will also promote its rapid action.”
As soon as the beggar finished speaking, Yun Yichen immediately knelt down on one knee before him, pleading, "Please, sir, accept me as your disciple!"
Yun Yichen's reaction was so fast that Xu Feng didn't even have time to react. Seeing this, the beggar felt a bit more fond of Yun Yichen.
However, the beggar clearly hesitated when it came to taking on a disciple.
"Sir, I am the heir of the Duke of Anguo, and I rarely go out, so I will not trouble you. Please accept me as your disciple!"
After Yun Yichen finished speaking, he clearly felt the beggar's body tremble.
At that time, Yun Yichen thought that the beggar's strange behavior was because he was frightened when he heard his true identity.
It wasn't until several years later that Yun Yichen learned that the beggar had indeed been frightened by his identity, but not by his identity as the heir of the Duke of Anguo.
The beggar is not a real beggar, but rather another identity associated with him.
"According to you, your master took you as his apprentice on the street. Then why did Xu Yunzhi become his apprentice?"
Gu Shuyan felt that Yun Yichen's story was not finished, so she couldn't help but ask further.
Seeing this, Yun Yichen smiled and slowly said, "I asked my master to accept Yunzhi as my son. At the time, my master was very reluctant, worried that the old man would discover his identity."
“It just so happened that I found a record of the art of disguise in an ancient book at that time, so I designed a plan to break my leg, then locked “myself” in the courtyard and went to the State of Jin with my master.”
When Yun Yichen said this, Gu Shuyan finally understood.
It's surprising how much Yun Yichen did for Xu Yunzhi. It's a pity that Xu Yunzhi later helped the old man assassinate Yun Yichen. Thinking of that sword that pierced her heart, Gu Shuyan suddenly felt some resentment towards Xu Yunzhi.
"So you wear a mask because of him?"
For some reason, Gu Shuyan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
A sour smell swept over him, and Yun Yichen, looking at Gu Shuyan's angry little face, couldn't help but lean in and kiss her.
"How could I possibly wear a mask for him? The main reason I've been wearing a mask is to fool my emperor uncle."
When Yun Yichen made the plan, he was still young and his appearance hadn't fully developed yet. To make things easier later, Yun Yichen wore a clown mask that completely covered his face.
Otherwise, why would the emperor insist on burying him in the imperial mausoleum after he faked his death? This matter may seem like an uncle's affection for his nephew, but Yun Yichen's fake face, coupled with the emperor's attitude, is enough to expose the emperor's distorted love from back then to everyone.
Hearing Yun Yichen say this, Gu Shuyan felt a little better.
"So, His Majesty truly believed you were his..."
Gu Shuyan couldn't bring herself to say the word "child." The fact that the Emperor could think that way showed what the Princess had gone through.
As expected, Yun Yichen's face darkened instantly after Gu Shuyan finished speaking, but when he met Gu Shuyan's worried gaze, he slowly suppressed the violence that had just risen within him.
"Don't worry! He didn't do anything to your mother. He plotted to make her lose her virginity, but your father cleverly thwarted it. So it was all just wishful thinking on his part."
Yun Yichen suppressed his hatred as he recounted the events to Gu Shuyan. Gu Shuyan wanted to ask him what exactly happened back then and who Yun Yichen's father was, but she couldn't help but hold back.
Perhaps, pressing too hard on some things isn't a good thing for Yun Yichen.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, as soon as Gu Shuyan got up, she heard from Yufei that Gu Renjie had come looking for her.
"Little sister, you have to help your brother this time."
The moment Gu Renjie saw Gu Shuyan, he showed an anxious expression.
Gu Shuyan had never seen her older brother like this in both of her lives, and she immediately became interested.
"My elder brother is a favorite of His Majesty, what could possibly require the help of a sheltered woman like me!"
"Stop teasing me, I really need your help with this!"
Gu Renjie sat down in front of Gu Shuyan with a bitter expression on his face.
Seeing his distress, Gu Shuyan stopped teasing him and went straight to the point: "Brother, tell me, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Renjie looked at Gu Shuyan and said, "Yes, Mother. As soon as Madam Meng showed some willingness to agree, Mother started making a big fuss about the betrothal gifts at home, and even said that she would compete with you in giving betrothal gifts to the Meng family."
Although Gu Renjie and Meng Wei's marriage has not been officially announced, it is a done deal.
"Let's compete then. Neither Brother Yun nor I mind, so don't worry, Brother."
The Ji family had been preparing the betrothal gifts for quite some time, and Gu Shuyan had seen quite a bit of them while at home, so she didn't think it was a big deal.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Renjie couldn't help but poke her head, "I think you've become stupid since you got married. I need to wake you up properly."
"Brother, how could I be so stupid?"
Gu Shuyan slapped Gu Renjie's hand away, and then rubbed the spot he had poked.
"How can you say you're not stupid? Yichen's engagement is his business, it has nothing to do with our family, but what will your sister-in-law think of what Mother is doing?"
Gu Renjie's reminder made Gu Shuyan slap her own head. She realized she had indeed become stupid!
