Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After a while, a disheveled person was escorted out by two guards.

One guard grabbed his hair and pulled it back, exposing his face.

“Xiao Anzi?”

Upon seeing him, Xiao Anzi burst into tears, wailing. “Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me.”

His voice carried a shrill tone resembling that of a duck, unmistakably revealing his ident.i.ty as a eunuch from the palace to everyone present.

Xiao Anzi, who served as Qitian Yu’s personal attendant, had disappeared some time ago. Despite Qitian Yu’s efforts to locate him, he remained elusive. Little did anyone antic.i.p.ate that he would eventually be found in the custody of Gu Qingluan.

Xiao Anzi had been the messenger conveying Qitian Yu’s messages to Gu Qingluan in the past years.

He knew about the plan that harmed Gu Qingluan.

Qitian Yu felt a sense of panic.

So, does Gu Qingluan have knowledge of the truth from that year?

Thinking of their recent encounters and how she hadn’t been friendly, beads of sweat formed on Qitian Yu’s forehead.

“Luan’er, is it this d.a.m.ned servant who has been spreading lies to you? Don’t believe him!”

Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “Why does the Fifth Prince appear so anxious? This Xiao Anzi is your personal attendant, and he knows better than anyone what you’ve done. If you’re not willing to speak, let him do the talking.”

She turned her gaze to Xiao Anzi and said leisurely, “Xiao Anzi, repeat the things you’ve said to me.”

Qitian Yu glared at Xiao Anzi with sharp eyes.

Xiao Anzi trembled, and his already pale face turned even whiter.

“All, it seems I’ve been too lenient with you.” Gu Qingluan sighed softly. She lifted her hand, holding a black pill between her slender fingertips.

Xiao Anzi had been staring at her, and when he saw what she held in her hand, his face turned ashen, like that of a dead person.

The period of captivity had been an utterly frightening nightmare for him, especially when Gu Qingluan revealed the pill. It was more terrifying than any nightmare he had experienced.

Just the thought of it made his body convulse.

He couldn’t maintain his tough demeanor and immediately recounted what he had confessed before.

Fundamentally, it occurred about five years ago when Second Lady Gu approached them, offering to a.s.sist His Highness in breaking off his engagement with Gu Qingluan. Subsequently, they collaborated. Amid the celebratory feast organized by the Gu Family for Gu Lingxue, they lured Gu Qingluan to the backyard and orchestrated a scheme involving a servant attempting to compromise her purity. Yet, an unforeseen incident disrupted their plan, allowing Gu Qingluan to flee from the situation.

A stir spread through the crowd.

Who could have thought that the affectionate Fifth Prince was the mastermind behind harming First Lady Gu?

And that Second Lady Gu, who appeared beautiful and kind-hearted, would be so malicious.

“Nonsense! Why would our young lady harm a worthless person like you?”

Just then, a young girl rushed out to defend Gu Lingxue.

Gu Qingluan looked at the girl and narrowed her eyes.

She recognized her – the girl was w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s maid.

“Our Second Lady is the rightful young lady of the family. She possesses talent, beauty, and a compa.s.sionate heart. She outs.h.i.+nes First Lady Gu in various aspects. There’s no reason for her to wish you harm.”

Upon hearing the maid’s words, many found them reasonable.

Gu Qingluan curved her lips in a faint smile, “Isn’t it easy to understand? Gu Lingxue has an affair with the Fifth Prince.”

“You! You’re slandering the Second Lady!” The maid pointed at her with anger.

Qitian Yu’s face turned ashen as he scolded, “Gu Qingluan, stop spouting nonsense! This prince and Second Lady Gu are completely innocent! We’ve never harmed you! Although I don’t know what means you used to make Xiao Anzi falsely accuse this prince and Second Lady Gu, this prince believes that no one will believe such groundless talk! You’ve stained yourself with others, and even though this prince is willing to marry you, you repay kindness with enmity like this…”

Smack!

Before he could finish, Gu Qingluan’s palm landed on his face.

Qitian Yu’s left cheek quickly swelled with redness.

Everyone was taken aback.

Guards immediately drew their weapons to protect their master.

Su Lie unsheathed his sword, and the guards from the Jun Residence also brandished their weapons, facing off against the enemies.

The tense atmosphere made the onlookers step back.

But they couldn’t bear to leave.

Gu Qingluan stood above on the steps, looking down at Qitian Yu. “Your mouth reeks, and it’s bothering me..”
