The early morning sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on Gu Fenglin's face.
He frowned in discomfort and covered his eyes with his hands.
With just a slight movement, tearing pain hit him like a tide. He subconsciously curled up and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound.
A cool and soft hand fell on his forehead, and then a soft and fragrant body gently embraced him.
"You're awake." Mu Yunhan's face was pressed against his back.
Gu Fenglin wanted to respond to her, but he almost screamed out in pain when he opened his mouth several times. He had to close his mouth tightly and let out a weak "hmm" from his nostrils.
Because of the pain, this "hmm" sounded like coquettishness, making him look extremely weak.
He didn't want this, so he simply closed his mouth and eyes and remained silent, but his body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Mu Yunhan leaned forward and looked at him carefully, with sadness on his brows.
According to Gu Changqing, because the pills could not keep up, more toxins accumulated in Gu Fenglin's body. Although the intervals between attacks became longer, each attack lasted for a long time.
The reason why Gu Fenglin can maintain such sobriety is, firstly, because of his extraordinary talent and special physique; secondly, because of his extraordinary willpower and endurance.
Having strong willpower and endurance is a good thing, but it is also a double-edged sword, because by the time you can no longer bear it, there is often no room or retreat.
"You are finally awake. Do you know that it has been three days and three nights since you were unconscious?"
Mu Yunhan tried to make his tone lighter and gentler in order to divert Gu Fenglin's attention and inspire more willpower and endurance in him.
What else could he do? Being awake would increase the pain, but it would allow him to maintain his sense of self.
"Cang Song found this on Jiang Xu's possession. I guess it's the highest-grade brand."
Mu Yunhan picked up a jade plaque and let it rotate in front of Gu Fenglin.
The top-grade mutton-fat white jade, the spiral rope ladder on top is carefully carved from reddish-brown natural stone skin, it is warm and pure, integrated and ingenious.
"There is a row of very small words here. It's very strange. I have never seen such words before. Do you know?"
Mu Yunhan was chattering as if he didn't know that Gu Fenglin was suffering from illness.
"Maybe this is crucial information, but I don't know. Also, I think Jiang Xu and Jiang Yun are really the leaders of the Mupai Party? Are there others behind them? Where did the men in gray escape to?"
Gu Fenglin's eyes moved, and he opened them with strong willpower.
He stared at the jade plaque intently and saw a row of strange words "december 2236" from the bottom corner of the jade plaque.
He grabbed the jade tablet suddenly, turned over and sat up, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen similar words in the only notebook left by my ancestors."
He was referring to the paragraph "beginningdecember 2236", but no one could figure out what it meant specifically.
But what is certain is that the ancestors of the Gu family, the Mu family, and the Mupai Party must be related, and this mysterious text is probably the key to unlocking the secret.
It was indeed useful. Mu Yunhan was very pleased and continued to guide him: "Then I have another question. The Mupai Party has been infiltrating the layout for many years. Why has it suddenly become more powerful in recent years? What is the key point?
