Deprived of the right to breathe, Qingyi began to struggle desperately, but the person who did it did not stop at all. He could feel his life slipping away very clearly.
Just a second before he thought he was about to die, Qingyi raised his hand with all his might.
The Xuan paper covering her face was removed, and Qingyi began to breathe heavily.
"Tell me, why are you searching for the rebel king's whereabouts?"
Tears of rationality streamed down Qingyi's face, and then she seemed to have lost her soul. "The rebel king has kidnapped my wife."
After Perrin lured the rebel king out by himself, he disappeared.
Apart from Perrin and the others, no one else knew where the Rebel King was, and they didn't even know at first whether Perrin had successfully met the Rebel King.
It wasn't until recently, when rumors started circulating, that he became certain that Perrin was in the hands of the rebel king.
But Perrin wouldn't stay by the rebel king's side for no reason, unless he had controlled her...
Qingyi felt a sharp pain in his heart. Peilan had handed over the power to transfer this group of people to He Yu before she left. He desperately begged He Yu, but He Yu remained unmoved.
It is said that no rash actions should be taken in Daning.
So he went out alone to find the rebel king, but was captured and brought here.
"Your wife?"
“Yes, she is my wife.” A self-deprecating smile appeared on the face of the man in green. “She has been captured by the rebel king. She must have been captured by the rebel king.”
"How can you be so sure that she was captured by the rebel king?"
A dark glint flashed in Gu Lin's eyes; this person in front of him was definitely hiding something much bigger.
The woman in green paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Just as Qingyi was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide, Gu Lin swiftly removed Qingyi's jaw and then gently patted her face, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry, I still have more questions for you."
Upon hearing this, Qingyi looked dejected. He only felt sorry for the man, who was not his wife.
......
"Eunuch Qin."
Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a young eunuch looked at Qin Wei with a worried expression. Qin Wei had been standing there in a daze for a long time. If he hadn't heard the Emperor's orders, that would be a serious crime.
"Eunuch Qin, are you alright?"
Qin Wei then came to his senses. "It's alright. Go and make the Emperor a pot of tea."
The young eunuch did not seem excited about the opportunity to see the emperor. Instead, he reached out to help Qin Wei, saying, "You seem to be feeling unwell. Shall we help you to rest your feet?"
"Your name is Yingzhi?"
Qin Wei suddenly felt a little envious.
"It is my honor that Eunuch Qin remembers my name."
"Go and make tea for the Emperor. Remember to be quick-witted." Qin Wei smiled. Perhaps when he could no longer serve the Emperor, Yingzhi could take his place.
That night, seeing that Qin Wei looked unwell, Gu Qingyan specially let Qin Wei go back to his residence to sleep for the night.
But Qin Wei tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He Yu wrote that Pei Lan had disappeared without a trace, and Qing Yi almost went mad in her search for her.
He began to realize that cooperating with the rebel king was an incredibly wrong decision.
In fact, it might not be so bad if he pulled back from the brink.
After finally falling asleep, Qin Wei's mind began to uncontrollably conjure up images he had never seen before. In these images, Gu Qingyan was still the heir apparent of the Prince of Xiang, extremely thin, and always staying in the Prince of Xiang's residence.
"Your Highness! Something has happened in the palace. The Emperor wants to execute... execute Consort Zhaoning."
In the video, he strode back, bringing the most crucial news to Gu Qingyan.
As he had expected, Gu Qingyan was extremely anxious to rush to the palace. He knew the position of the Lady of Zhaoning Palace in Gu Qingyan's heart, and he also knew that according to Gu Qingyan's personality, this trip would be a one-way trip.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyan, who was almost at the gate of the mansion, stopped and turned to look at the man following beside him.
"Uncle Qin, you should stay at the Prince of Xiang's residence."
Even though it was just a scene in the picture, Qin Wei still felt like his heart was being torn apart. He could feel himself in the picture, and he felt a complex mix of emotions, including regret.
"This servant will go with the young master."
"Uncle Qin, thank you for taking care of me all these years." Gu Qingyan's eyes were a little red. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today."
"I might not be able to come back from this trip."
After hearing Gu Qingyan's words, the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Your Highness, this servant will go in your place."
At that moment, he knew he regretted it; he didn't want Gu Qingyan to die.
He watched this child grow up, who shared his bloodline, and he hoped this child would live a good life.
“Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say.” He grabbed Gu Qingyan. “I will go for you. This way, you will be safe. You can stay in the Prince of Xiang’s residence. Someone will come to rescue you.”
"In the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qingyan shook his head and left the Prince of Xiang's residence without looking back.
Thanks to his prior arrangements, Gu Qingyan arrived at the Cold Palace with almost perfect ease.
Within half a day, news of Gu Qingyan being pierced by a thousand arrows reached his ears.
Immediately, he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
Pei Lan, Qing Yi... these people were all guarding him, but he didn't say a word.
He committed the biggest mistake of his life; he killed the child he had raised.
Everyone begged him to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he burst into tears.
Gu Qingling, Gu Qingfeng, and Gu Qingyao all died on the day that Da Ning captured Da Qing's capital.
Upon hearing this news, he finally spoke, trembling as he uttered, "Ayan."
From the moment his son Ayan was born, his parents were not by his side. He protected him day by day and raised him as if he were his own child.
But he never called out "Ayan" even once.
"Ayan, I've come to find you."
After saying that, he slammed his head against the wall. How could he leave Ayan alone in the cold underground?
Off-screen, Qin Wei suddenly woke up.
He lay on the bed, panting heavily.
What an absurd dream, yet... it feels so real.
Qin Wei simply got dressed, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and wondered if this was a dream or some kind of omen.
But the excruciating pain he felt after Ayan's death in his dream was so vivid that it felt like his heart was being squeezed.
"Am I really going to kill Ayan?"
Qin Wei murmured blankly. He had a blood feud with the Gu family. If he didn't avenge this feud, how could he face his mother and himself?
For a moment, Qin Wei felt like his head was about to explode.
Qin Wei crouched down, clutching his head, and let out a painful groan.
