Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, Gu Lingyue lost her way and accidentally saved an unconscious old woman. The old woman was skilled at using Gu Worms to poison people. In order to repay Gu Lingyue, she proposed to take her as a disciple and told Gu Lingyue that once she became her disciple, she would be loyal to her Lord together with her.
As long as she could kill Gu Qingxue, Gu Lingyue was willing to pay any price. Thus, she agreed to the old woman’s request to start with Prince Heng. She planned to use Prince Heng to get rid of Gu Qingxue’s biggest backer, Rong
Zhan.
Furthermore, Gu Lingyue and the old woman’s owner seemed to have a grudge against Rong Zhan and had always wanted to get rid of him.
“There’s no hurry. When you can help to get rid of Rong Zhan, the Lord will naturally grant you the opportunity to meet him. I wanted to get rid of Gu Qingxue first and deal a heavy blow to Rong Zhan, but that woman is harder to deal with than I thought. Let’s change our target and start with someone else.” The old woman said slowly.
Gu Lingyue was excited. “Master, didn’t you promise me that you’d get rid of Gu Qingxue first?!”
“Don’t be anxious. I know you’re dissatisfied with Gu Qingxue, but she has the prince regent’s residence and Imperial Duke Zhang’s residence behind her. In addition, she’s a difficult person to deal with. Once we have Rong Zhan under control, Gu Qingxue would be nothing. I promise you, when the time comes, I’ll personally hand Gu Qingxue over to you. You can do whatever you want to her,” The old woman said unhurriedly.
Gu Lingyue’s eyes lit up in excitement. She clenched her fists and said, “Then, not only do I want to capture Gu Qingxue alive, but I also want to capture her three children!
“Hehe, to a mother, the most important thing that she can not let go of is her children… You’re so cruel, you’re indeed my disciple. In that case, this method will also work on Rong Zhan,” the old woman said slowly.
“Do you mean that we have to make a move on the young prince?” Gu Lingyue asked.
The old woman replied, “The young prince is little and his mind is not mature.
Naturally, he is easier to deal with than Rong Zhan.” Next up was the Spring Festival’s palace banquet, which was a good time. When the time comes, I’ll get someone to send you a new Gu Worm. Find an opportunity to put the Gu Worm into the food of the young prince.”
The corners of Gu Lingyue’s lips curled up into a cold smile. After agreeing, she changed into a new set of clothes and went back to bed to rest.
Time flew by…
It was still dark today, so Gu Qingxue got up early and personally made breakfast for the three little ones.
Under Zhan Liuye’s arrangements, the three little ones were to take the examination together with the other n.o.ble children of the royal family of the appropriate age. As long as they could pa.s.s, they would be able to enter the palace to study at the Royal Academy after the new year.
These past few days, the three little ones had been studying hard and had been waiting for this day. As their mother, Gu Qingxue naturally had to cook for them personally.
The three little ones all attached great importance to the exam. They woke up early the entire morning and did not need the maidservant to wake them up to do their last revision.
After breakfast, Gu Qingxue asked the coachman to drive the carriage and personally sent the three little ones to the palace for the test.
The Gu residence’s carriage stopped steadily outside the palace. Gu Qingxue and Cui’er worked together to carry the three little ones out of the carriage.
Gu Qingxue was the last to get out of the car. After she steadied herself, she saw a man in a white cloak striding toward them.
Gu Lin and the other two also noticed the man. The three little ones held each other’s hands and bowed to the man in unison. “Greetings, Sir..”
