Chapter 692: Proposal (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seven days ago, when the sound of a funeral resounded through the capital, Gu Yuan knew that Empress Dowager Yuan had started to take action. He immediately mobilized the Commandant of the Capital and the 2,000 Shangyang Army soldiers to take down the 1,000 Tiger Army soldiers in the capital in one go and quickly controlled the four city gates.

As for Empress Dowager Yuan, she was trapped in the deep palace. Gu Yuan had cut off her ears and eyes. She didn’t know what was going on outside at all. Only when Chu Yi escorted a group of criminals back to the capital from the imperial mausoleum did Empress Dowager Yuan know that she and Chu You had failed.

“The empress dowager was stimulated and is seriously ill. The imperial physician said that it’s probably not good,” Gu Yuan said in the end. When he mentioned the empress dowager’s serious illness, his expression was cold.

Gu Yunzhen listened quietly. Sometimes she was shocked, and sometimes she heaved a sigh of relief. The changes in her expression were quite exciting.

After a while, Gu Yunzhen composed herself and asked slowly, “Big Brother, about the marriage between the two countries…”

Gu Yuan didn’t answer. He raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Gu Yanfei, who was sitting on his right.

Gu Yanfei calculated with her fingers and said calmly, “The Sage of the State of Yue is about to die, right?”

Gu Yuan smiled but didn’t say anything. He also picked up the teacup.

Although Chu Yi had never said it explicitly, Gu Yuan could roughly guess that there was something wrong with “Dou Zixiang”. Otherwise, why would he help them hide their whereabouts? “Dou Zixiang'”s appearance was probably inextricably linked to the powerful Sage of the State of Yue.

Gu Yunzhen didn’t notice the conflict between the siblings. She lowered her eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup. She muttered to herself, “If the Sage of the State of Yue dies, then the marriage alliance between the two countries should be abandoned.”

Although Gu Yunzhen said that it was a marriage alliance between the two countries, she was thinking about Li Yunrong.

Gu Yunrong really had mixed feelings about her sister, Li Yunrong, whom she had grown up with.

Previously, when the news that Chu You had agreed to marry the Princess of the State of Yue came, Gu Yunzhen had more or less sympathized with Li Yunrong. She knew that Li Yunrong had a deep love for Chu You. Li Yunrong had once said that Chu You had promised her that he would be with her for the rest of his life.

But later on, Gu Yunzhen learned about Chu You and Li Yunrong’s forced abdication at the imperial mausoleum and felt that it was ridiculous.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Li Yunrong had never needed to pity herself.

Gu Yunzhen’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She drank her tea silently and tried her best to forget about Li Yunrong.

Li Yunrong’s surname was Li, so they were no longer related!

Juan Bi, who was serving them tea at the side, also listened attentively. Her eyes lit up, and she sighed in her heart that what Gu Yuan said was simply more exciting than a drama script.

Seeing that the tea was about to run out, she quickly served the three masters more tea.

Gu Yunzhen smelled the fragrance of the tea and put down the teacup she had just raised. She asked in a low voice, “Where’s the Eldest Princess Feng Yang?” This time, Gu Yunzhen was asking Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei sighed softly and said with a faint gaze, “Eldest Princess Feng Yang has been affected by the Soul Devouring Technique for 21 years.”

“The Soul Devouring Technique is corroding her soul bit by bit, like water droplets penetrating a stone. Now, her soul has long been riddled with holes, like a tree trunk that has been hollowed out by termites.”

“If it were ten years earlier, I might have had a way, but now…”

Gu Yanfei stopped halfway and didn’t continue.

She didn’t mention to Gu Yunzhen that Feng Yang’s soul would dissipate and she wouldn’t be able to enter reincarnation. She didn’t want to add to Gu Yunzhen’s troubles.

If it were in the Bright Spirit Realm, she might be able to think of a way, but this small world was a land of extinction. All she could do was use the spiritual aura in various jade stones to barely extend Feng Yang’s life for a few days.

“…” Gu Yunzhen opened her mouth. Her throat tightened, and she didn’t ask further.

The room fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. The expressions of the three siblings were solemn, and even Juan Bi’s eyes turned a little red.

“Meow!”

When the cat’s cry from outside the house broke the silence, Qing Guang ran around the courtyard outside heartlessly. One moment, she pounced on b.u.t.terflies, and the next moment, she scratched trees, causing the courtyard to be filled with broken flowers. It was a mess.

Gu Yunzhen stared at Qing Guang for a long time before suddenly letting out a low cry.

“All!”

Gu Yunzhen suddenly stood up from her chair.

She was too excited and accidentally hit the chair behind her, making a thumping sound, causing the others in the room to look at her.

“Yanfei.” Gu Yunzhen hurriedly grabbed Gu Yanfei’s hand and urged anxiously, “Stop sitting here. Hurry up and get dressed. The auspicious time is almost here.”

As Gu Yunzhen spoke, she glanced at the pot not far away.

There was less than an hour until the auspicious time. There was still time..
