The setting sun took away the last trace of hustle and bustle.
Gu Yilan sat in front of the window, silently looking at Sixian Tower in the distance.
There were originally lanterns hung on the upper floor of Sixian Palace. After the white-haired female official committed suicide by jumping off the building, lanterns were no longer lit in the Palace of Priests.
So it looks dark, like a huge behemoth.
There are two cold stars hanging above it, blinking in and out.
"Why don't you hold the lamp? Wen Fei, that bastard, is getting lazy and lazy. I have to skin him."
Elder Wu walked in, scolded the attendants, and lit the lamp, using the light to examine Gu Yilan carefully.
Seeing that he was fine, he put down the lampstand and sighed: "Gu Baixiang is dead."
Gu Yilan had no special reaction: "Alin's move?"
"Yes." Elder Wu asked, "Why did you let me do this?"
Gu Baixiang should indeed go to the Priest Palace today to deliver supplies, but not necessarily at that time.
It was he who managed to prompt Gu Baixiang to go to the Priest Palace at that time, where he happened to meet Mu Ying.
It was he who stopped Gu Baixiang when he lost his composure.
But the more he thought about it, the less he understood it, and he inevitably had to ask for more information.
Gu Yilan said calmly: "To repay the kindness."
Elder Wu didn't understand even more: "How to say?"
Gu Yilan looked back at him: "The elder is well-informed, didn't he see what happened to Gu Baixiang at that time?"
Elder Wu thought for a moment and opened his eyes in shock: "Mu Ying..."
Gu Yilan said calmly: "I once had a dream and saw Mu Ying being attacked and eaten by the Gu family's children. She and Mu Yunhan have the same physique."
Elder Wu became happy: "Isn't that possible...we can protect her."
Wouldn't it be possible to have an additional channel for supplying medicine, so that we no longer have to beg Mu Yunhan eagerly?
It really should be kept secret and not allowed to be known to other Gu family members.
"We can't." Gu Yilan said firmly: "I asked you to do this to remind them."
The light in Elder Wu's eyes dimmed, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Indeed, too many people have been destroyed because of this, and there is no one in the next generation of the Gu family who can match her. Once this matter is exposed, she will suffer
It would be better to die."
Even if Gu Yilan is lucky enough to live a little longer, it won't last long.
He is even older and may die one day.
He regretted a little: "If I had known this, I should have killed Gu Baixiang directly. Why bother putting Han girl in trouble again?"
Gu Yilan smiled slightly and said: "This is good. The one who takes action will always be A-lin, exactly as I thought."
Elder Wu didn't quite understand what he meant: "Master Jiu, what are you doing?"
Gu Yilan showed a mysterious smile: "Alin will understand. Look, he's already here."
There was a knock on the door downstairs.
The attendant's voice sounded: "Master Jiu, the priest is here."
"Please." Gu Yilan carefully arranged her clothes and hair, and said to Elder Wu: "Elder, please stay out of the way later, okay?"
Elder Wu was unhappy: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Yilan softened her voice and said in a coaxing tone: "I have some matters related to inheritance that I need to discuss with Ah Lin. It's not convenient if other people are present."
Elder Wu then said: "Then you must not start a quarrel."
The main reason was that Gu Yilan's smile just now was so unsettling.
