The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"How about you stay in my palace? I can protect you." Yu Hongyan looked at Gu Chenan and said seriously.

Gu Chenan looked up in disbelief, then shook his head.

"Many eunuchs in the palace recognize my face. Your Excellency can protect me for a while, but not for my whole life. It would be better if I was not born with this appearance..."

Yu Hongyan's eyes swept across his face and unconsciously stopped on his strong and solid chest. A bold idea emerged in her mind.

It would be a pity for such a man who made her linger and forget to leave to become a eunuch. If she could keep such a man in the palace who could relieve her boredom, it would be nice...

After all, Gu Beihuai didn't love her at all, and would never come to her palace, so why should she insist on sticking to the so-called rules?

People still have to take care of themselves.

"How about this." Yu Hongyan held Gu Chen'an's hand and said gently, "I have a way to let you change your appearance at will, but it requires long-term maintenance. Are you willing?"

Gu Chenan showed surprise, and then some disbelief.

"Is there really such a method? Would it be troublesome? If it embarrasses you, I would rather not do it."

This thoughtful gesture made Yu Hongyan feel even more distressed.

There has never been a man who cared about her so much.

During the years in the Southern Border Holy Land, she had been living with the witch who taught her the art of witchcraft. The witch often warned her that no man was a good thing and that she should never get close to a man or she would become unhappy.

She kept it in mind until the witch died, when she took her place. She also remembered the rules she set: not to use witchcraft on men and not to fall in love with any man.

But now, she is no longer the witch of the Holy Land, but a woman who wants to pursue her true inner thoughts.

So when faced with a perfect and considerate man like Lu Jiuxiao, she had already thrown the old witch's warnings behind her.

"Don't worry, it won't be a big deal." Yu Hongyan's tone became much gentler, with some sincerity in her eyes, "I will help you, as long as you trust me."

"I believe in you."

Little did he know that the reason why Gu Chen'an went through so much trouble was just to let Yu Hongyan cast the disguise poison on him.

It would be inconvenient for him to use this face in the future, and he would need a completely new face and identity.

Prior to this, he had already investigated every aspect of Yu Hongyan, and now he had captured her heart with just a little trick. As long as he could settle down in the palace, his subsequent plans would go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Gu Chenan lowered his eyes, quietly concealing the pride and determination in his eyes.

As night fell, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit.

This explosive piece of news shocked everyone in the palace.

It is said that the ghost of Prince Chen appeared in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!

Although the news was blocked in time, a lot of information was still "accidentally" revealed. The emperor saw the ghost of Prince Chen with his own eyes, and suddenly fell ill, had a high fever and started talking nonsense.

Despite being pregnant, Shen Qingyan took care of the baby personally, but there was still no effect.

The entire Yangxin Palace seemed peaceful, but in fact it was in chaos.

The palace maids were coming in and out under the moonlight, and all the imperial doctors were standing guard in the outer hall, each of them looking extremely nervous and ready to be on call at any time.

Suddenly, rumors spread throughout the palace, and people were in panic, saying that Prince Chen's ghost was really coming to take away the throne, and that things were about to change in Tianfeng Kingdom.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Ruxiao hurried into the palace. Not long after, she came out with red eyes and hurried to the Cining Palace.

This further confirmed the severity of Gu Beihuai's illness. Some people who were cautious and cautious even started packing up their gold and silver items, ready to escape at any time if there was any turmoil in the palace.

Yunlian Palace.

Yu Hongyan also got the news and was shocked.

"No, that's impossible."

She paced back and forth in the room, muttering to herself, all of which fell into Gu Beihuai's sight.

"How could he be such a coward? This is not right. There are definitely no ghosts."

Gu Chenan stepped forward and gently put his arms around her waist from behind.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?"

The name "Yan'er" was asked by Yu Hongyan to do so.

Every time Gu Chenan called out like this, he felt like he was calling Shen Qingyan's name, so he preferred to hug her from behind.

In just one day, they became inseparable, as if they had known each other for a long time.

In order to change Gu Chenan's face, Yu Hongyan used blood as a guide and forcibly created the face-changing Gu in a short period of time to change his face.

That face belonged to a eunuch in her palace. The two of them had similar body shapes, so she secretly killed the eunuch with a poisonous insect and threw him into a dry well. In this way, Gu Chenan took over his identity.

This plan was perfect, and Yu Hongyan was very satisfied with it.

It seems that she won't be lonely in the long journey through the palace in the future.

Without Gu Beihuai's favor, she loved herself and looked for the one she loved.

Little did she know that the land of gentleness she was indulging in was a sweet net carefully woven for her by Gu Chen'an, which would only get tighter and tighter, with no possibility of escaping.

From an angle that Yu Hongyan couldn't see, the disgust and disdain in Gu Chenan's eyes were clearly visible.

"Shun'an, I think this matter is strange. The emperor can't be such a coward, and it's even more impossible for him to believe in ghosts and be scared like this."

In order not to reveal his identity, Gu Chen'an used the eunuch's name and changed his name to Shun'an.

He frowned, and was naturally confused. Gu Beihuai couldn't be such a useless waste.

Gu Chenan said calmly: "Yan'er, why don't I go check it out and see what's wrong."

"Okay, be more careful."

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Gu Beihuai was sitting on the edge of the bed, showing no signs of being seriously ill. In front of him were two shivering men, probably in their forties or fifties, kneeling.

Su Peichang raised his voice and asked, "Are you sure you can recognize your young master just by looking at his figure without looking at his face?"

One of the older men kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The young master grew up under my care and I will never admit my mistake."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will never make a mistake."

Shen Qingyan had been sitting on the soft chaise longue nearby eating snacks, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Fortunately, Gu Beihuai specially sent someone to Jiuxiao Villa to bring two housekeepers to identify Lu Jiuxiao, otherwise if he was still wearing the human skin mask, this drama would be in vain.

Then the two butlers were taken to the highest roof of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by the guards.

It's a pity that the two of them are so old and still have to suffer from the fear of heights. They are trembling with fear, but they dare not disobey at all.

There were many palace servants coming and going at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, each busy with their own business.

Taking advantage of the night, the two stewards stared wide-eyed, trying to identify the people coming and going, their eyes were sore, but they still didn't see their young master.
