Gu Yanfei quickly picked up the teacup and said calmly, “Of course you won’t feel anything.”
This was the evilness of this array.
The person whose luck was borrowed was branded in his ignorance and senselessness. His luck would be taken away, and in the end, he would die a miserable death in endless despair.
Gu Yanfei passed the cup of tea to Gu Yuan and said in a comforting tone, “It’s fine now.”
Since the spirit gathering and luck borrowing array was broken, the “mark” branded on Gu Yuan’s heart would naturally be removed.
Gu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and took the teacup from his sister.
If his luck was really snatched away, he would probably become a burden to his sister.
Juan Bi quickly served tea to all the guests. In the water pavilion, the fragrance of tea wafted.
Gu Yanfei had always been unrestrained. She sat down at the side gracefully and naturally looked at Chu Yi, who was across the coffee table from her. “Has everything been settled?”
Chu Yi smiled and nodded. His eyes were gentle as he chatted with her about the follow-up.
For example, the Emperor had already collected dozens of memorials from yesterday to now and placed them on the imperial court. There was no lack of memorials to impeach Chu Yi.
For example, there were seven or eight censors kneeling in front of the imperial study. Some were begging for the Yuan Family to be severely punished, while others were questioning the Emperor’s sloppy conviction for not being in charge of the three divisions.
For example, some of the aristocratic families were divided into two factions. In order to protect the Yu or the Feng Family, they argued and refused to give in to each other.
“Wait!” Gu Yanfei interrupted Chu Yi curiously. “Feng Family?”
The culprit wasn’t the Yu Family. Why was the Feng Family involved?
Did something happen after she left the Chengtian Gate yesterday?
Gu Yanfei looked at Chu Yi with a burning gaze. Her intention to watch the show was written all over her face.
Chu Yi gave a low laugh. “The magistrate, Feng He, tried to assassinate me in front of everyone. He was plotting a rebellion.”
“Assassinate?” Gu Yanfei was sure that she had indeed missed a big show. “Assassinate who?’
“Me,” Chu Yi said.
“You?” Gu Yanfei moved closer to him and held his chin with one hand.
Judging from his complexion, he really didn’t look like he was injured.
Gu Yanfei suddenly thought of Chu Yi pretending to be sick in the carriage outside Danyang City. The more he laughed, the happier he became.
Chu Yi tested the temperature of the teacup before passing it to her. Gu Yanfei took it smoothly and took a sip of the tea that happened to be in her mouth. She asked again, “What happened after that?”
“The aristocratic families have finally pricked open this iron bucket.” Chu Yi curled his lips and revealed a meaningful smile.
Ever since Emperor Taizu founded the country, these aristocratic families have always banded together to resist Emperor Taizu ‘s suppression. But today, a crack finally appeared in these aristocratic families.
Gu Yanfei was too lazy to use her brain. She just treated it as a story and thought to herself, ‘These aristocratic families and their checks and balances are so troublesome.”
It was better to be in the Bright Spirit Realm, where the strong were respected.
She casually plucked two red plums from the plum tree by the window and played with them between her fingers. “Are you trying to separate them?’ she asked casually.
Chu Yi smiled but didn’t say anything. He slowly took a sip of tea, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This time, they were able to pry open such a gap between the aristocratic families. It was also the right time, place, and people.
The aristocratic families were led by the Yuan Family, but Yuan Zhe was still imprisoned by the Northern Town’s magistrate. Without such a leader, the aristocratic families would be divided on whether to protect the Yu or the Feng Family.
With the current situation, it was impossible for the aristocratic families to protect the Yu and Feng families.
The aristocratic families were arrogant, but they weren’t stupid. They knew that they had to make a choice this time.
Normally, those aristocratic families would have already reached an agreement with the Yuan Family.
At the end of the day, the Yuan Family’s foundation was still too shallow. It could only be considered a bond between the aristocratic families, the Empress Dowager, and Kang Wang. The Yuan Family hadn’t reached the point where they could completely subdue the other aristocratic families.
Gu Yanfei looked at Chu Yi and couldn’t help but laugh lightly. She commented teasingly, “You’re so scheming.”
Of course, she was talking about Chu Yi.
He Lie: “…”
Gu Yuan :
He Lie’s expression was a little strange. He looked back and forth between the two of them and thought to himself, “Second Lady Gu is indeed an expert.
Other than the Emperor, she’s probably the only one who dares speak to the Eldest Prince like this.’
Gu Yuan looked down and said nothing.
However, Chu Yi’s expression was calm, and he took Gu Yanfei’s words as praise. The smile in his eyes spread like ripples, and he sighed softly. “What a pity.”
Gu Yanfei knew that Chu Yi was talking about the sudden snow storm yesterday afternoon and smiled.
The girl’s laughter was like jade pendants colliding with each other and clear spring water flowing.
She tilted her face and moved closer to Chu Yi. She said seriously, “It’s not good to be too smooth!’
For people like them who were abandoned by the heavens, if everything went smoothly, Heaven’s Will wouldn’t be able to stand it and would suppress them.
“It’s just right now.” Gu Yanfei stared into Chu Yi’s eyes, her eyes sparkling with a clear light.
Chu Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Gu Yanfei quietly.
She clearly had the ability to surpass anyone, but she was still calm and composed. She wasn’t arrogant because of this and didn’t act as if no one was around.
Chu Yi said in a low voice, “Yeah, that’s good.”
It was perfect that she was like this now.
Chu Yi kept looking at her. The smile in his eyes deepened, and there was a glimmer of light.
His eyes were very beautiful, and the shape of his eyes was beautiful. The eyelashes at the ends of his eyes were especially long, making his eyes look even longer. The red mole at the end of his eyes was even more charming than the red plum between her fingers.
Gu Yanfei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by such a pair of beautiful eyes.
She used the gesture of resting her chin on her hand to look away.. She played with the red plum in her hand and asked, “Why are you looking for me?’
