Chapter 744 The Great Prince of the Northern Ridge

Brother, I advise you to let go of your obsession. Perhaps then, you too will live more happily.

Murong Yun withdrew the spiritual energy around his body. He wanted to persuade Murong Yun.

After all, he and Murong Yun had grown up together as twin brothers.

If there was any kinship, it was there.

He also did not wish to become enemies with his brother.

"Hahahaha."

It was as if he had heard the joke of the century.

After laughing heartily for several moments, Murong Yun looked at Su Cheng, "My dear brother, you are still too young. Do you think our Father Emperor brought our eldest sister back to the palace to cure her illness? Do you really think our Mother Consort would keep a daughter with a ruined reputation by her side?"

"If Father Emperor and Mother Consort were people who didn't care about face and reputation, why would they have thrown people like you, the Yin Gu, into the cold palace back then and ignored us?"

"You mean..."

"Brother, we are merely pawns. If you disobey, our eldest sister will lose her life, her life, do you understand?"

After saying this, Murong Yun leaped down from mid-air and landed on the ground.

He looked at Su Cheng standing opposite him, "Brother, I can spare Gu Qianying, but are you really going to abandon our plan? Don't forget where our eldest sister is. I'll give you one day to consider. After one day, if you still insist on your own ideas and give up the entire plan for the sake of this woman Gu Qianying, then I won't force you anymore."

"However, I hope you will think of our eldest sister before you consider this matter."

With that, Murong Yun turned and flew away using his Qinggong.

At this moment, Gu Qianying had already walked up to Su Cheng. She looked at Murong Yun's departing back.

"Su Cheng, are you alright?"

Gu Qianying walked over to check on Su Cheng.

Su Cheng turned around, faced Gu Qianying, and shook his head at her, "I'm fine."

"You and him..."

Gu Qianying wanted to ask Su Cheng what exactly had happened between him and Murong Yun.

But seeing that Su Cheng seemed unwilling to say more, Gu Qianying did not ask further.

Meng Qinghua was injured by Murong Yun, and the Su family was also in turmoil because of Murong Yun's disturbance, causing unrest throughout the Su mansion.

Su Yuxi was also poisoned by Murong Yun's Gu Hun poison.

All of this was done by his brother.

After Su Cheng told the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su about these matters, he knelt before them, "Father, Mother, I am sorry. It was my fault that eldest sister died, and it was my fault that the entire Su family suffered. I am an unfilial son."

Su Cheng was a prince of the King of Beiling, a fact that the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su knew.

And at this moment, Su Cheng still considered himself a child of the Su family, speaking these words to the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su.

This made Gu Qianying and Meng Qinghua, who were standing by, look at Su Cheng. Gu Qianying felt that Su Cheng was doing the right thing.

Meng Qinghua also felt that it was very rare for Su Cheng to act this way.

"Alright, my son, get up quickly."

Elder Mr. Su stepped forward and helped Su Cheng up.

"Su Cheng, I know you are not my son, but for so many years, we old couple have always treated you as our son. Even after knowing your identity, we still feel that you are our son. Su Cheng, we will not blame you for what has happened to the Su family these past few days."

"Yes, I, this old woman, have lived for half my life. I can still tell who is who."

"Su Cheng, you are not a bad person, we can all see that."

The elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su did not blame Su Cheng.

However, this made Su Cheng feel even more guilty towards the Su family.

And also towards the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su.

Murong Yun is my brother, and I know how to cure the Gu Hun poison. Please rest assured, Father and Mother, I will restore eldest sister to her normal state.

"And the Su family will never encounter anyone who wants to attack them again, I promise."

Su Cheng expressed his thoughts and decisions to the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su.

The elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su looked at Su Cheng with great relief.

In order for her to be in the best state to undergo the detoxification of the Gu Hun poison, Meng Qinghua had been playing with Su Yuxi for two consecutive days.

Buying various small snacks and sugar-coated haws on the street, Meng Qinghua doted on Su Yuxi like a child.

They also watched acrobatic performances and various street shows on the street.

In the dead of night, when the Su family had all gone to sleep.

Gu Qianying, however, could not sleep.

She opened her door and walked out of her room.

The moonlight outside was excellent, and the starry sky stretched for miles.

She stood by the lake, looking at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

In the darkness, the lake was very quiet, and even the fish in the pond seemed to be swimming very little.

At this moment, a figure walked up to her and draped a white cloak over her.

"Can't sleep?"

A familiar voice sounded in her ear.

Gu Qianying turned her head and saw an incredibly handsome face.

It was Su Cheng.

Why are you here?

Gu Qianying tightened the cloak around her.

Su Cheng sat down beside Gu Qianying.

"I couldn't sleep either."

In fact, he had come to see her.

He couldn't sleep because he missed her, so he came to see her, only to find that she wasn't in her room.

After searching the back garden, Su Cheng saw Gu Qianying here.

And Su Cheng would not tell Gu Qianying about this.

Why can't you sleep?

Gu Qianying also sat down in front of Su Cheng.

"Mmm... It's nothing, perhaps I slept too much during the day."

Su Cheng lay down beside Gu Qianying, resting his arms, and looked at the vast starry sky.

In reality, he hadn't slept at all during the day.

He had been using his hidden forces to eliminate those who harbored ill intentions towards the Su family.

He would leave the Su family.

Before leaving, he wanted to do some things for the Su family.

Su Yuxi was poisoned by the Gu Hun poison.

The elderly Mr. and Mrs. Su of the Su family were also constantly worried because of him, living restlessly.

Because of these matters, he felt guilty towards the Su family.

Therefore, Su Cheng was determined to do something for the Su family before he left.

And he had had this idea for a long time.

It was just that when Murong Yun appeared, he was busy with the affairs of the Beiling Kingdom and did not attend to the matters of the Su family.

And now was the best time to do something for the Su family.

"Qianying, according to my years of investigation, the Empress who has been with Grand Tutor Su for many years is very likely the eldest prince of Beiling Kingdom, Murong Bo."

"What?"

Gu Qianying turned her head and looked at Su Cheng in disbelief.

How could this be possible?

Su Cheng did not get up, still lying on the lush green grass.

The grass by the lake was often tended by the servants, so it was very clean.

"At first, I didn't believe it either, but after so many years of investigation, all the evidence points to the Empress of Nan Yi Kingdom being the eldest prince of Beiling Kingdom, Murong Bo. Back then, after the Empress of Beiling gave birth to the eldest prince, the midwife and the maids who served the Empress at the time all died, and even the imperial physician who examined the Empress died tragically."

"At that time, my profit-seeking Father Emperor did not notice any abnormality in this matter... Later..."
