They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

Who sent me a letter?

But, since it is a letter, can't you just give it to yourself openly? Why do you have to use this method?

Without thinking too much, seeing that the letter was not dangerous, Ji Qiyun directly opened the envelope, took out the letter and started reading.

but…

There isn't a single word on it!

A blank sheet of paper?

Who is playing tricks on me?

Ji Qiyun frowned slightly, and a nameless anger rose in her heart.

She had already suffered a lot from Wu Ningdong at Gu Nian's place before, and now someone was actually teasing her.

I am an emperor after all, why do you all treat me like this!

For a moment, Ji Qiyun wanted to tear the letter into pieces!

Available immediately.

She seemed to have thought of something and quickly withdrew her hand.

After thinking carefully for a while, she took out a candle, lit it, and held the letter over the candle for a while.

as predicted!

There were words slowly emerging on it!

Sure enough!

A look of joy appeared on Ji Qiyun's face.

She quickly looked at the letter, and seeing the familiar details, she smiled even more.

But gradually.

Her smile gradually froze and disappeared. In the end, she sat on the bed, looking around blankly.

Why is this so?

Why, it still doesn’t work?

Looking closely, a few words can be vaguely seen on the letter paper.

"I'm already... on my way..."

"Not yet, wait a little longer..."

Ugh…

Ji Qiyun sighed helplessly and shredded the letter with a wave of her hand.

at the same time.

The other side.

Wu Chunmu has already arrived at Gu Nian's temporary residence.

"Mr. Gu, have you been doing well recently?"

Wu Chunmu asked Gu Nian with a smile.

"It's not bad. There are some interesting places in Daqian."

Gu Nian answered casually, looking at Wu Chunmu with a slightly inquiring look.

First it was Ji Qiyun, and now it’s Wu Chunmu.

These two people are definitely planning something!

It seems that I need to be more careful.

Although in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless.

But if you can avoid suffering any loss, it’s better not to suffer any loss, isn’t it?

"That's good. If Mr. Gu needs anything, just tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Wu Chunmu continued to speak with a smile, expressing his friendliness to Gu Nian.

immediately.

She suddenly looked around the yard,

"Is Ningdong not at home?"

"She's resting. Do you have something to talk to her about?"

"Well, Ningdong is my sister after all. Since she came back, there are still many things I haven't been able to tell her."

"It's my fault too. Daqian was a bit chaotic before, and I was too busy to take care of myself, so I ignored her."

"Now that everything is finally settled, I plan to talk to her."

They are sisters after all.

One is Wu Ningdong and the other is Wu Chunmu, both have the surname Wu and their names match.

They are sisters no matter how you look at it.

Gu Nian was not surprised at all, and just pointed to the room.

"You can go find her yourself."

When Wu Chunmu walked into the room, Wu Ningdong was already dressed and stood up from the bed.

Although he had been severely punished by Gu Nian before, Wu Ningdong had rested for a while after all, so he could still hold on.

"Hey, you look like you just got up?"

Seeing Wu Ningdong's rosy face, Wu Chunmu's heart tightened. For some reason, he subconsciously uttered sarcastic words.

She clearly felt sorry for her younger sister.

Although the relationship between the two has never been good.

But she is my sister after all.

Even now, Wu Chunmu can still recall how her younger sister, when she was a child, would hang around her and call her "sister."

It's only been a few years, how come it has become like this?

Judging from my sister's appearance, I'm afraid she just finished serving Gu Nian?

I don't know if Gu Nian will be gentle...

For Daqian, to deal with me, she actually went to this extent, not only becoming someone else's maid, but also giving herself completely to him...

This girl, really...

To be honest, it’s not a good thing, after all, I’m following Gu Nian.

Just like what she said to Ji Qiyun before.

The people around Gu Nian, even if they are just a maid, have a very high status when they go out, and there is absolutely no problem for them to show off in a place like Daqian.

But after all, she was promoted from a concubine to a maid.

They have lost their freedom and have to go from being served by others to serving others.

Is it really worth it?

Especially, she was doing this to deal with him, which made Wu Chunmu feel distressed and angry, and he almost laughed out of anger.

"Oh, as the master's maid, the master himself doesn't like to be served, so I am naturally very free."

Wu Ningdong is a little timid towards his own sister.

But when she thought that Gu Nian was outside, she became bolder and started to make sarcastic remarks.

"you…"

Wu Chunmu was choked. She didn't quite understand this point, so she could only say helplessly,

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm your sister after all. Can you please give me a favor and go out with me?"

"No need to do that. If you have anything to say, just say it here. There's no need to go out."

Wu Ningdong rejected Wu Chunmu's proposal without even thinking about it.

She believed that with Gu Nian around, Wu Chunmu would not dare to touch her.

Even though she was just a little maid beside Gu Nian, she was still Gu Nian's person.

If Gu Nian's people were killed in Daqian, no matter how much compensation Wu Chunmu gave, it would be useless.

In the end, she will definitely be buried with herself!

Wu Chunmu doesn't have the courage to do that.

"I just want to take you home to see it!"

Wu Chunmu glared at Wu Ningdong.

"From the time you entered the palace until you escaped from the capital and returned, you never returned home."

"Why, you don't plan to go back to that house?"

Hear this.

Wu Ningdong was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled.

"Sister, this is a really good idea. Why, are you going to use your family to pressure me again?"

ha?

What are you talking about?

I just plan to take you away and give Ji Qiyun some time and opportunities. What do you mean?

Wu Chunmu felt a little confused when he saw his sister's sarcastic look.

"Heh, sister is really good at disguising herself."

Wu Ningdong sighed for a moment, then continued,

"I will never forget how I entered the palace."

Her eyes lost their focus and her tone was helpless.

"The late emperor was already in failing health and could die at any time. Everyone knew that the palace was a hell of a pit."

"Whoever enters the palace will die alone, and may even be banished to the cold palace or even killed by the successor."

"The daughters of various families are all trying to avoid entering the palace, but you are the only one!"

Wu Ningdong pointed at his sister.

"You sent someone home to tell the clan leader to send me to the palace to help you seize the throne!"

"You know the Wu family. Seeing the opportunity to gain power, they were naturally more excited than the other. They tied me up and sent me to the palace. No matter how I refused, I wouldn't listen."

"Do you know that because of your ambition, you have sacrificed your sister's happiness for the rest of her life?"

"If I hadn't met the master, I really don't know what my fate would be!"

Looking at his sister with disappointment, Wu Ningdong sighed and said,

"I know you have ambitions, and I don't care about your ambitions. If you want to do it, just go for it."

"But that's your own ambition. Whatever you sacrifice for it is your own business. Why would you sacrifice mine?"

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved Wu Ningdong felt.

However, Wu Chunmu on the other side looked confused as he listened.

Is there such a thing?

When you entered the palace, it was clearly His Majesty's intention.

At that time, I tried my best to dissuade His Majesty from coming. After all, His Majesty is about to die, and you still want to let people into the palace. Isn't this harming people?

Especially since this person is my sister, I naturally wouldn't allow it.

But since Your Majesty insisted on doing so, I had no choice but to agree.
