Chapter 404 Who are you?

Chapter 404 Who are you?

It turns out that there could be such viciousness in her eyes.

Gu Nianting shook his head in disappointment and took two steps back.

"But why?"

"I have never done anything harmful, why are you so cruel?"

When Ning Yunxi set up the beauty trap, she didn't think that Gu Nianting would come to cause trouble.

If he didn't come, it would be fine. But since he came to see her, she couldn't miss this opportunity. This was a good opportunity to lay the foundation for the beauty trap, making it easier to carry out.

After thinking about it, she felt more than comfortable and made plans at ease.

"The former Protector General Wu Qi was handed over to the emperor by Prince Di Jin and has already been convicted and brought to justice."

"Do you know why King Di Jin suddenly abandoned it?"

Gu Nianting looked confused.

"I don't know."

Ning Yunxi raised a look of disdain at the corner of her eyebrow.

"Because I know that he is an informant arranged by Zhong Shuyi. I reported this to Prince Di Jin, and of course he would not keep him."

Gu Nianting was stunned.

"This matter is top secret. Mother and I have never mentioned it. How did you know about it when you first arrived at the palace?"

Ning Yunxi's expression was calm as she spoke the truth.

"Alliance Master Qi has a good plan. This person is indeed very well hidden. If you and your son had not told me in your previous life, I would not have known about it."

When Gu Nianting heard the key point, he was even more shocked.

"Previous life? You..."

Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes dimmed completely, and she took two steps closer, her face dark and gloomy, looking sinister and intimidating.

"The past is so unbearable that I don't want to talk about it. Now that I have come to this, I just want to get it out of the way."

"I wholeheartedly helped you to ascend the throne, but in the end, you banished me to the cold palace as the Princess of Chen."

Gu Nianting's brows were in a knot, as if he was struck by lightning.

"Ah? How come?"

If there were wild winds and cold rain, raging without restraint, Ning Yunxi would brave the cold and continue to accuse.

"You have made use of all those who betrayed me. You have also given the position of queen that you promised to Ning Wanshan. The children I gave birth to for you at the risk of my life will all recognize the thief as their mother in accordance with your will!"

"In order to force me to commit suicide, Ning Wanshan sent people to abuse and bully me. I was powerless in the cold palace, watching my eldest daughter Xinran being harmed by Ning Wanshan, suffering from madness and suffering all kinds of pain! At the end of my life, I was seriously injured and desperate, so I took medicine and died."

Hearing the word "Xinran", Gu Nianting's pupils shook.

The night before the wedding, he lay in bed, tossing and turning. With nothing to do, he named their future child in his mind: If they had a daughter, she would be named Gu Xinran; if they had a son, he would be named Gu Yao.

He memorized these two names in his heart and did not tell anyone else.

"Xinran..."

"If there is something from your past life, it's no wonder your temperament has changed so suddenly."

Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears, conveying endless heartache.

"Gu Nianting, you have betrayed me all your life, and now, how can you have the face to ask for remarriage?"

As if sensing her heart being torn by a knife, Gu Nianting's brows were filled with sorrow, and for the first time he revealed his soft heart to her.

"Xi'er, I..."

"When I said I loved Ning Wanshan, it wasn't from the heart. I... I had a secret. You only saw that I favored her many times, but you didn't know why. In fact, I had nothing to do with her. The two of us were innocent!"

"I don't know what's going on, and I can't understand why I abandoned you in my previous life and made her my queen. There's something fishy going on, there must be some misunderstanding."

Ning Yunxi had no interest in his so-called heartfelt words, so she turned her back and pretended that she couldn't bear to face it.

"I have done my best for you. In this life, I just hope that we can live well and not disturb each other."

Gazing at her back, Gu Nianting let the tears fall, feeling melancholy, guilty and filled with regret.

"Xier..."

Ning Yunxi responded coldly.

"I'm sorry I can't see you off. Please go."

Gu Nianting felt pity in his heart and sighed sadly.

"Ah, okay."

He added softly with a hint of pleading.

"When I figure it out, I'll come back to you and explain everything to you. Wait for me."

After saying this, he left the guest room reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Ning Yunxi smiled and put away her sad expression.

Looking back at what had just happened, Xie Yuchen's resolute move was not feasible. Ning Yunxi thought that she must call him over and give him some instructions.

When she opened the door, she ran into a person standing at the door. The person was so close to her that she couldn't see him clearly and was really scared.

"what!"

She had made plans in advance and told her maid to guard against eavesdropping. Logically, there would be no one outside the door, so she was frightened.

Could it be that Gu Nianting didn’t leave?

Her thoughts were in a mess, she took a half step back, accidentally tripped and almost fell.

As he looked up, he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Yan Yu.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yu immediately stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her waist.

"Watch your step."

Ning Yunxi's cheeks were flushed. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brilliantly.

"Thank you, brother."

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Yan Yu signaled with her eyes that they should go into the room first, then she went back to the guest room with her and closed the door.

"Lord Ning expected that you would personally devise a plan, so I was asked to spy secretly. If I saw the Prince of Chen coming to look for you, I would show up to protect you."

Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.

"Didn't Big Brother go to Gao's house? How did you have time to tell me all this?"

Yan Yu answered calmly.

"When you and Lin Mu went to the next room to discuss, he left a message."

Ning Yunxi curled her lips, somewhat displeased.

"Damn it, he has figured it out again. How can we be so defenseless?"

Beneath Yan Yu's solemn and calm expression, there seemed to be a surging wave.

"I stood at the door and heard the entire conversation between you and the Prince of Chen. But don't worry, the Prince of Chen went out and didn't find me, so I'm temporarily hiding in the guest room opposite."

Yan Yu did not sit down, but took a step closer and looked at him, without blinking.

There was something wrong with his expression. Ning Yunxi realized it belatedly and her pupils shrank as she felt that something was wrong.

Yan Yu went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Wu Qi, it was clearly Lord Xie who investigated and found the doubts; why did you just say that it was you who reported it?"

"On that day, the assassination took place. Lord Xie found out about it in time and was able to infer that the guards had evacuated abnormally. He reminded Lord Xiao to lead the soldiers to support Prince Dijin's palace."

"Why did you lie to the King? Or, are you lying to me?"

"Zhong Huamou has a good plan. How can Lord Xie bypass him and find out that there is something wrong with Wu Qi?"

"Was the assassination attempt carried out by the fourth sister of the Ning family? Or did you intentionally lead me to see the portrait in the secret room?"

"You said that in your previous life, the secret room was destroyed and the portrait disappeared, and you didn't know that you looked like Aunt Fang. In fact, you know it, right?"

"You... have you been lying to me from the beginning to the end?"

Ning Yunxi kept retreating until she was pushed to the corner and had no choice but to stop.

There was a hidden pain of tearing in her heart. Her bright almond-shaped eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only a trace of pain.

"Brother, are you doubting me again?"

In Yan Yu's eyes, there was a hint of sadness of being betrayed, a hint of confusion of being at a loss, and a hint of fear of being in a situation.

"If you touch the silver ring, you can also enter my laboratory. Have you ever exchanged Aunt Fang's blood?"

The memories of past lives suddenly appeared in Ning Yunxi's mind, catching her off guard.

"Brother, you..."

Yan Yu grabbed her wrist tightly and asked while suffocating in pain.

"who are you?"

"Are you my little sister, or an informant sent by the emperor? Or, did the Prince of Chen send you here to gain my trust?"
