Chapter 566: Could Gu Yun Be Tu Xiupei?

This valor and decisiveness that Gu Nansheng had was difficult to achieve, even for Feng Tianlan. She had more misgivings and was more inclined to think ahead of time, so she was often tied down.

Gu Nansheng smiled bitterly and said, “This is my only way out.”

She also did not want things to end up in this situation of forcing a confession and staging a revolt. But she had no other way out. Her father, the emperor, was no longer the father he used to be. If she did not seize this moment to make the first move, she herself, her mother, as well as her imperial brother, would be the ones to die in due course.

Therefore, she was forced to do all the things that she was doing now.

Feng Tianlan thought about everything that Tu Xiang had done. She understood Gu Nansheng’s helplessness and fear. Even if she had encountered similar experiences, there was still no way the two could feel the same emotions.

After bidding farewell to Gu Nansheng, Feng Tianlan arrived at Gu Yun’s palace. This place was not very far from the royal study that she was at earlier on, so it was only half-affected. Only one palace collapsed, while the others were well-intact.

For anyone who tried to stop her by standing in her way, Feng Tianlan unceremoniously landed blows that sent them flying away. She then barged right into the main palace.

“Miss Feng, you really don’t even have a tad of courtesy that a guest should have,” said Gu Yun, who was leisurely brewing some tea. She was not the least alarmed by Feng Tianlan’s aggressive intrusion.

Feng Tianlan saw how leisurely and carefree Gu Yun was, and looked her up and down. Then she said indifferently, “Princess Yun is really quite carefree, you must not have known that the painting of the naked beauty has been hung on the city gate tower for all Beiqi people to admire, right?”

Having heard Feng Tianlan’s words, Gu Yun’s hand that was pouring tea paused momentarily. The leisurely look she wore on her face also seemed to abate momentarily. But she quickly regained her composure and said, “That’s not me, the princess. So what if they’re all admiring it?”

In that painting, the face was illustrated according to her looks, but that naked body was illustrated according to the body of the palace maid that she had found.

Naturally, she wanted to keep and protect her chastity for the man she loved. How could she allow just any lowly being to see her body?

However, just thinking about the fact that the face was painted according to her looks and now hung on the city gate tower, the hatred for Feng Tianlan in her heart increased by a notch again.

“Princess Yun is really so magnanimous and big-hearted,” Feng Tianlan said with faint sarcasm. This Gu Yun was really tolerant enough to keep her equanimity. Such a painting was hanging high up there, and yet, she was still able to remain calmly seated.

Gu Yun put aside the tea that was just freshly brewed and said, “Miss Feng is feeling quite testy. Why not sit down for a cup of tea?”

“Who the hell are you?” Feng Tianlan was in no mood to beat around the bush and speak with Gu Yun in such roundabout manner. It was tiring to talk like that.

Gu Yun held her teacup for a light sip and replied, “Gu Yun, Princess Yun of Beiqi Nation.”

“No, you’re definitely not Gu Yun.” Feng Tianlan was dead certain as she stared at Gu Yun’s face. This was the face of that woman in her dreams, but the figure was not. And Gu Yun gave her a sense of familiarity. She constantly felt like she had seen Gu Yun before.

She was certain that she had seen Gu Yun somewhere before!

The hand that Gu Yun used to hold the teacup paused for a moment as she looked up at Feng Tianlan with a faint smile. She said, “I’m Tu Xiupei. The Tu Xiupei who was bullied to death and then thrown into a mass grave.”

Upon hearing what was said, Feng Tianlan’s brows knitted together in a frown and she said with great certainty, “No, you’re not Tu Xiupei.”

“Do you still remember my mother? Xu Jiayi was a former princess of Beiqi. I’m not Tu Xiang’s biological child. My birth father is actually Beiqi Emperor. Half a year ago, on that night I died, the emperor wanted to save me, so he made me eat the Feign Death pill. And therefore, I became Gu Yun. This is my true identity.”

Listening to what Gu Yun said made Feng Tianlan frown. Counting the time of Tu Xiupei’s death and that of Gu Yun’s, this was indeed a possibility.

“No, you’re not Tu Xiupei. Who the hell are you?” Feng Tianlan said with great conviction. Tu Xiupei simply did not possess such shrewdness and composure. The body figure bore no semblance either.
