Chapter 571: If Tu Xiupei Is Dead, Who’s Gu Yun?
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at her, signaling her to continue. After absorbing spiritual force for the past two days, she was almost completely recovered. However, her vitality was damaged due the injury of her vine.
“Lin Suyin is at the South Peace city. She had attended several banquets over the past six months and was always seen around. Most people on the streets are talking about her. Besides, she’s been planning a wedding recently. It seems like she’s found a nice partner.”
Feng Tianlan let out a soft ‘uh-huh’. “What about Tu Xiupei?”
“She was resurrected, then died again.”
“Huh?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at Azurite doubtfully. She was resurrected, then died? What did that mean?
Azurite told her everything that she knew. “It’s been confirmed that Tu Xiupei faked her death that day and was saved by someone. Besides, there are rumors saying she’s been spotted at the bordering town of Beiqi Nation. However, it seems like her Everhigh Poison has taken effect. As she’s disfigured, there were no men who could act as her antidote. Therefore, her blood vessels burst and died.”
This meant that the Beiqi Emperor really arranged Tu Xiupei’s fake death. However, she died along the way due to the Everhigh Poison. She was a princess, therefore no one dared to touch her. She then died.
“Since Tu Xiupei is dead, who’s Gu Yun?” Feng Tianlan frowned. Half of what Gu Yun said was true. “Initially I thought Gu Yun is Lin Suyin, but it seems like she’s not her either.”
Her figure looked similar to Lin Suyin’s, but she was slightly slimmer. Now that she had found out that Lin Suyin was living a high-profile life in South Peace City, it definitely was not her.
Since Gu Yun was neither Tu Xiupei nor Lin Suyin, then who was she?
During these six months, although she had maintained a high profile, she was usually dressed in men’s clothing. There weren’t many men who were attracted by her in men’s clothing. However, she had attracted several young women.
Therefore, could she be a woman who she had offended over the past six months?
The facial outline of the woman in her dreams and the lady with the zhusha mole who was mentioned by Pang Tai completely matched her appearance. Was it necessary for her to pretend to be Tu Xiupei and waste her time here?
“The people from Holy Pill City confirmed that Tu Xiupei had died at the bordering town. However, the people who were traveling with her were dead as well. Besides, Lin Suyin is indeed in South Peace City.” Azurite repeated her statement. “Miss, do you want to investigate again?”
“Let’s talk about this tomorrow. Have the people arrived?”
Azurite nodded. “They’re here. Due to Miss’s request, they’ve all blended in with the imperial guards, waiting for Miss’s orders.”
Feng Tianlan let out a soft ‘uh-huh’. “Move them to the team that’s accompanying the bride to the bridegroom. They need to be the closest to Nansheng to ensure her safety.”
Since she couldn’t figure out who Gu Yun was, there was no need for her to do so further. She would reveal herself sooner or later anyway, and there was no rush.
That night, the Beiqi Palace was filled with lanterns and festoons. The whole palace was illuminated and filled with a sea of red. The atmosphere was joyous. The princess was marrying into the Evanesce City. Such a joyous occasion made everyone forget the major changes in the palace over the past few days.
Feng Tianlan visited Gu Nansheng’s residential palace. The court ladies were coming and going in a busy manner. The current Beiqi Queen Mother was wearing regular clothing, just like an average mother. She was combing Gu Nansheng’s hair personally.
Feng Tianlan couldn’t be of any help. She just stood at the side while looking at everyone getting busy. She felt as if she was in that situation. If the person who was marrying her was Mobai…
She assumed that she might be just like Nansheng, smiling from eye to eye and feeling blessed.
However, how could she talk about getting married when she hadn’t gotten her revenge?
Gu Nansheng was in her red wedding dress with her makeup done. She looked exquisite and beautiful while maintaining her elegance. She looked graceful.
“Tianlan, do I look good?” Gu Nansheng asked Feng Tianlan as she blushed.
