The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Gu Nianzhi seemed to be oblivious to the other emotions in Cen Yu's words. Her mind was completely immersed in the pursuit of the truth. She stared at Cen Yu closely and asked again impatiently, "Tell me quickly, why do you know this?"

There was urgency and determination in her voice, and she did not allow Cen Yu to evade at all.

Cen Yu's expression gradually returned to calm, and there was not much emotion in his deep eyes, as if everything was within his expectations.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "You know, I am the leader of the Flying Eagle Sect. There is nothing in this world that I don't know. So..."

"So, you should also know when and how to start, right?" Gu Nianzhi looked straight at Cen Yu with a scrutinizing gaze. "Don't lie to me."

"The Bai family forwarded the emperor's order. The people sent by Batu to negotiate are assassins sent by the emperor."

Gu Nianzhi's brain was in chaos at the moment. Various information and possibilities were intertwined and entangled in her mind, making it difficult for her to sort out the complex interests involved. She frowned, her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and bewilderment, and she tried hard to find a clear clue in this tangled mess of thoughts.

Just as she was concentrating on trying to sort out these clues and was in this trance, suddenly, a low and clear "I'm sorry" came out from Cen Yu's mouth.

These three words exploded in Gu Nianzhi's ears like a thunder, instantly waking her up from her deep thoughts.

However, before she could react, a thick white mist suddenly rose in front of her eyes. This sudden change shocked her and her brain went blank for a moment.

With the appearance of the white mist, Gu Nianzhi felt that his originally normal body had lost all its strength in an instant, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant.

The dagger that she had been holding tightly in her hand fell straight to the ground with a crisp and abrupt sound as her fingers loosened powerlessly.

The sound was particularly clear in the silent environment, as if telling of the weirdness and danger of the current situation.

Almost at the same time, Cen Yu's figure flashed by like a ghost and came to her side at an extremely fast speed.

His movements were swift and precise, without any delay, and he caught Gu Nianzhi just in time as he fell down due to a sudden loss of strength all over his body.

At this moment, Gu Nianzhi's body seemed to have lost all bone support. It was as soft as a puddle of mud and had no strength at all.

But strangely, her consciousness remained clear and her mind was still actively working, but she could not control her body to make any movements.

Her eyes widened, filled with horror and disbelief.

She tried her best to shout, hoping to use the sound to warn the people around her and let them know what was happening here.

However, what made her feel extremely desperate was that she was horrified to find that she could not move at all, and she could not even open her mouth, as if a pair of invisible big hands were covering her mouth tightly.

She tried to move her larynx, trying to make even the slightest sound, but she discovered sadly that the muscles in her larynx seemed to have completely lost their strength. No matter how hard she tried, she could not make any sound from her throat.

Her heart was filled with anger and confusion. She didn't understand why Cen Yu treated her like this.

She stared at Cen Yu, her eyes full of blame and anger.

She questioned Cen Yu with her eyes, wanting to know what his purpose was in doing this.

Her eyes were full of reluctance and helplessness. She didn't know what fate she would face next, nor did she know where Cen Yu was going to take her.

"I'm doing this for your own good." Cen Yu seemed to understand the intention in Gu Nianzhi's eyes, and he spoke softly.

His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including helplessness, determination, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

In just a few seconds, Cen Yu held Gu Nianzhi in his arms without hesitation.

His movements were gentle but firm, as if he was holding an inestimable treasure.

His eyes were focused and calm, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation. He held Gu Nianzhi in his arms, as if he were holding the whole world, and protected her carefully.

He held Gu Nianzhi in his arms and walked out of the tent with firm steps as if no one was there.

The air outside was a little chilly, and the breeze gently blew his clothes. His face looked particularly pale under the moonlight, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination and firmness.

He walked step by step, his steps steady and powerful, without any hesitation or retreat.

"Nianzhi, don't blame me. I really did this for your own good. You will understand my painstaking efforts in the future."

Gu Nianzhi was still unable to move or speak, but her eyes were still full of blame and anger.

Gu Nianzhi felt as if every bit of her strength had been drained from her body, but she still stubbornly used all her strength to move her eyeballs. Her eyes wandered across the road in front of her with difficulty, her heart filled with astonishment and confusion.

Originally, as I remembered, there should be a guard every five steps on this road. However, at this moment, all the guards were lying lifelessly on the ground, lying in all directions and in various postures.

This strange scene made Gu Nianzhi feel a chill in her heart, and she tried to understand this sudden change.

Almost instantly, a thought flashed through Gu Nianzhi's mind that Cen Yu must have administered drugs similar to cartilage powder.

Her mind was working rapidly, and as she recalled the previous details, she felt that this inference was more and more reasonable.

Cen Yu's behavior has always been mysterious, and it's not surprising that he has such means. Gu Nianzhi was full of regret, wondering why he didn't notice Cen Yu's conspiracy in advance.

"Don't look at them. They will wake up soon, and they won't remember anything that happened when they wake up."

Cen Yu's deep voice sounded in Gu Nianzhi's ears, with a hint of teasing and complacency.

Gu Nianzhi's eyes turned slightly and looked at Cen Yu, his eyes full of anger and confusion.

She didn't understand why Cen Yu did this and what ulterior motive he had.

At this moment, two soldiers suddenly jumped out from somewhere.

Gu Nianzhi was delighted, as if he saw a ray of hope in the darkness.

She thought that perhaps these two soldiers would notice something strange here and help her break free from Cen Yu's control.

However, the next second, they heard the two men respectfully say to Cen Yu: "Master, everything is ready."

Gu Nianzhi's hope was shattered in an instant, and his heart was filled with despair.

Door owner?

Gu Nianzhi's mind went blank for a moment, and then began to work rapidly. These two people were actually Cen Yu's men?

This fact shocked her. She never thought that in this seemingly peaceful camp, there were so many forces hidden by Cen Yu.

Gu Nianzhi's thoughts became more and more confused. She thought, if there were Cen Yu's people in the camp, and Cen Yu was currently in collusion with the Bai family, then wouldn't the unprepared Sima Yao be in extreme danger?

Her heart was tightly clenched. Sima Yao meant so much to her, and she couldn't let him come to any harm.

Before she could come up with a conclusion, Gu Nianzhi felt that her vision suddenly went dark, and her body was put into a sack by two soldiers. It all happened so quickly that she had no time to react.

The moment he was put into the sack, Gu Nianzhi's heart was filled with astonishment and fear.

She struggled in the darkness, trying to break free, but to no avail.

The sound of her own breathing and the friction of the sack echoed in her ears. The sound was particularly clear in the darkness, as if mocking her helplessness.

At this time, she could only hear Cen Yu's voice outside.

The voice was low and calm, as if it was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

"I'm sorry. Just bear with it for a while. It won't take more than half a cup of tea, and then you'll be safe."

In the pitch darkness, Gu Nianzhi felt as if she was put into a car.

She could feel the car shaking and bumping, and the feeling made her stomach churn.

She didn't know where the car was going, nor did she know what fate awaited her.

She could only pray silently in the darkness, praying that both she and Sima Yao would be safe.

The car was bumpy several times while driving, and Gu Nianzhi felt like a stone rolling in the waves, being tossed around by the tides of fate.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like a long century to Gu Nianzhi.

She counted the time silently in the dark, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Finally, the car stopped. Gu Nianzhi heard a noisy sound coming from outside, with footsteps and voices. She didn't know what was going on.

Then she was carried into a quiet room, and soon the sack was opened, and a strong light shone in.

Having stayed in the darkness for too long, the sudden light made Gu Nianzhi squint subconsciously.

Her eyes were so painful from the light that tears flowed out involuntarily.

Through squinting eyes, Gu Nianzhi saw a blurry figure in front of him.

She blinked hard, trying to make her vision clearer.

Suddenly, he smelled a strange fragrance in his nose. The fragrance was vague, but it made Gu Nianzhi feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Not long after the fragrance wafted past, Gu Nianzhi felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength.

After a few seconds, Gu Nianzhi finally adjusted to the light next to her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the face of the person in front of her. It was indeed Cen Yu's face. He still had that calm expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

Gu Nianzhi stared at him, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.

She spoke tentatively, her voice trembling and a little weak: "Cen Yu?"

However, after hearing this familiar name, the reaction of the person in front of him made Gu Nianzhi feel strange.

This person gave people a strange feeling. He had the same face as Cen Yu, but the temperament he exuded in his gestures and the look in his eyes made Gu Nianzhi feel that he was not the Cen Yu she was familiar with.

The man actually bowed to Gu Nianzhi respectfully, bowed very low, and said in a very humble tone: "I am not the master of the sect. I am just the substitute of the master of the sect."

When Gu Nianzhi heard this, her mind went blank. For a moment, she even wondered if she had heard it wrongly.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

Her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her, trying to find some differences between his face and body and Cen Yu, in order to prove that he was really just a stand-in.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the person in front of her carefully, and she found that this face was exactly the same as Cen Yu's, whether it was the outline of the eyebrows, the high nose bridge, or the slightly upturned lips, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

If he hadn't admitted it himself, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between him and Cen Yu from their appearance.

Her eyes moved back and forth on his face, her heart full of doubts and confusion. She didn't understand why Cen Yu had a stand-in, and this stand-in looked so much like him.

"I'm here." Just as Gu Nianzhi fell into deep thought, Cen Yu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The voice was deep and magnetic, just as familiar as always.

Gu Nianzhi turned around suddenly and saw Cen Yu already sitting in a wheelchair. His face was slightly pale and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

The prosthetic limbs on his legs had been removed, and his empty trouser legs were hanging down from the wheelchair. That scene made Gu Nianzhi's heart suddenly tighten. Her eyes stayed on Cen Yu, and besides panic, a trace of concern appeared in her eyes.

Gu Nianzhi turned his head, looked at the stand-in, then looked back at Cen Yu.

"You must be curious about why I need a stand-in, right?" Cen Yu's voice came slowly, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness and emotion in the voice. Before Gu Nianzhi could ask, Cen Yu began to tell the story himself.

"According to the etiquette of Dasheng, disabled people cannot ascend the throne. The battle for the throne was extremely turbulent and thrilling, and all parties were willing to do anything to gain supreme power. In order to make me not competitive, those assassins with ulterior motives attacked me and injured my leg. I have been disabled ever since."

Cen Yu's tone was still calm, as if he was telling someone else's story, but Gu Nianzhi could see the deep hidden pain and unwillingness in his eyes.

Gu Nianzhi listened quietly, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She knew that Cen Yu had always been burdened with a heavy mission and pressure, and she did know something about this matter, but not everything.

But she still felt a little surprised when Cen Yu mentioned it so calmly at this moment.
