Not long later.
The hidden guards who had poisoned Qingxi Village were tortured by Ye Siming.
In the end, they also revealed all the information they knew.
Just as Gu Xinghan had said, Young Master Lin Ya, the person who had contacted them, was very cautious.
The person who instructed the hidden guards to chase after Gu Xinghan was also one of Lin Ya’s trusted aides.
However, that trusted aide was elusive and had hidden somewhere.
He must have heard the news and gone into hiding!
Gu Yihan knew that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of the interrogations.
Unexpectedly, he wasn’t in a hurry anymore.
However, he didn’t forget to instruct Ye Siming, “Feed them what poison Nuo’er suffered from and send them on their way.”
After these hidden guards who had poisoned them died…
Ye Siming got someone to tie them up behind the horses and drag them from the city to the suburbs.
It also let the commoners see what would happen if they tried to harm the princess.
When everyone found out that these people were helping the bad guys to collude with the enemy and betray the country,wanting them to have internal strife…
The commoners spontaneously went forward and threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the hidden guards’ corpses.
Later on, Gu Xinghan really went crazy in prison.
Perhaps because he had done too many guilty things, he kept seeing the souls of Grand Consort Yu and Prince Guang standing in front of him.
They stared straight at him.
They even asked, “Why aren’t you dead yet?”
Gu Xinghan was so frightened that he rolled to the ground many times. He hugged his head and cried, “Don’t look for me! Don’t look for me!”
On a late night with thunder and rain, Gu Xinghan couldn’t stand the torture anymore and slammed his head against the wall.
He ended his ridiculous and messy life.
When Gu Yihan heard the news of his death, he didn’t feel anything at all.
After all, Gu Xinghan had already confessed everything. There was not much point in keeping him alive.
It was only on account that he was willing to confess that Gu Yihan allowed him to stay in prison.
Now that he was dead, everyone was happy and relaxed.
Gu Xinghan and the hidden guards didn’t directly point out who was behind this.
However, Gu Yihan already had a rough guess.
As the thunderstorm ended, the capital of Great Qi welcomed a scorching summer day.
Everything seemed to have come to an end, but under this calmness, things were moving toward an even more turbulent storm.
A heavenly net that was personally woven by Gu Yihan and Gu Nuo’er quietly descended.
The cicadas kept calling out, and the towering tree was green.
Gu Nuo’er sat in the pavilion under the tree and enjoyed the breeze blowing from the lake.
A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on the child’s forehead from the heat.
It made her skin look even fairer and dazzling. Her black and bright eyes were filled with focus and seriousness.
She was playing chess with Ye Siming.
Gu Nuo’er held the white pieces while Ye Siming held the black pieces.
The chessboard crisscrossed. From the beginning, the white pieces were powerful, causing the black pieces to retreat step by step.
However,the black pieces were actually retreating in order to advance. They had long taken advantage of the moment when the white pieces were attacking to surround them from behind.
Seeing that she was about to lose, Gu Nuo’er rested her chin on her hand, puffed up her small face, and muttered, “Elder Brother Siming has only been learning for half a month. Why are you so much better than me?!”
Ye Siming seemed to have grown a little taller, making him look even more determined and handsome.
Under his hair, his narrow eyes that were hidden like the deep sea shone with an even colder light.
At this moment, his slender and fair fingertips were holding a black chess piece.
Seeing that Gu Nuo’er was dissatisfied,
Ye Siming curled his lips and smiled, not in a hurry to place the chess piece.
He crossed his arms and said calmly, “If you’re willing to bet, you must be willing to accept defeat. You can’t go back on your word.”
As he spoke, Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and approached. He asked in charming, low, and pleasant voice, “Gu Nuo’er, do you remember that you said once that if you cried out in pain, you would have to call me something?”
