Two days later.

Xu Ruowei was assassinated by an enemy of the Chuzhou Chamber of Commerce. A large pool of blood was left at the scene, and her servant was slashed in the throat. However, Xu Ruowei's body was never found.

Chu Hui sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any trace of Xu Ruowei.

After that, there were no more shops of the Qin Family Villa Chamber of Commerce in the capital.

After Gu Chang got the news, he checked the speed of the plot.

90%.

This means that Xu Ruowei is not dead yet and she still has one chance.

But now Gu Chang only has to face Lu Qiao, who will be back tomorrow. He is not the real Lu Zhiyuan, but twelve years can change a lot of things.

That night.

Someone knocked on Gu Chang's study door.

"Come in." Gu Chang stopped chatting with the system and put down the book used as a cover.

The person who came in was Wen Yao.

Wen Yao walked in and closed the door sideways, only to see Gu Chang had already stood up from his seat.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, sit here."

"It's okay. I just want to talk to you." Wen Yao refused Gu Chang's request to sit on the couch. His overly pale face made Gu Chang's heart twitch for no reason.

After forcing the man to sit on the couch, Gu Chang sat down next to him and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Wen Yao stretched out his veined hand and picked up the jade pendant that Gu Chang had been wearing around his waist. "I often see you wearing this jade pendant."

Gu Changwei raised his lips, his eyes gentle, "It must be something very important." For Lu Zhiyuan.

Wen Yao shuddered, "So, do you still remember anything before you were seven years old?"

When Gu Chang heard this, he was surprised to hear Wen Yao say this?

"I don't remember. Uncle Wu said that I was hit too hard by the death of my relatives, so I forgot." Gu Chang said hesitantly.

"Then, are you willing to remember the past?" Wen Yao's eyes were filled with pain, and he tried to keep his tone steady. He gripped the warm mutton-fat jade pendant, involuntarily increasing his strength, almost rubbing it into his palm.

"To be honest, I often wonder what I was like before I was seven, and what my mother looked like." Gu Chang suddenly became a different person. "Although I still have a father, it's been twelve years, and I've forgotten everything I should have forgotten. I can no longer remember what my father looked like, and we don't have any portraits of my parents at home."

"Uncle Wu said that I look too much like my mother, and my father is afraid that seeing me when he comes back will remind him of my mother, so he has never returned home. Brother Wen Yao, do you agree?"

Wen Yao's whole body trembled. He looked at Gu Chang with trembling lips. When his calm eyes met Gu Chang's, he happily grabbed Gu Chang's shoulders, "Ziqing...you remember?!"

"No, I just said it unconsciously." Gu Chang took Wen Yao's hand away, "If you really know about me, I hope you will tell me everything."

Wen Yao blinked twice, and the bright light in his eyes dimmed. He withdrew his hand, "Is that so..."

"Put this pill in the incense burner and burn it before you go to bed, and you will know everything." Wen Yao handed the pill to Gu Chang in a weak voice.

Gu Chang frowned, "Isn't this Qingyang Pill? You didn't eat it."

"Yes, I was about to die. It was only after seeing you that I thought about living. It doesn't matter to me whether I take this medicine or not. This can be considered as atonement." Wen Yao stood up and said with a relaxed tone.

Gu Chang grabbed his sleeve and was about to say something, but suddenly everything went dark and he passed out.

Wen Yao took Gu Chang's hand away from his sleeve, then put him on the couch, took the quilt from the bed and covered Gu Chang with it, went to the incense burner, poured out the unburned incense, and then placed the Qingyang Pill in it.

After doing all this, Wen Yao touched Gu Chang's forehead and sighed, "I just hope you won't blame me when you wake up."

His face was frighteningly pale, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Wen Yao picked up the mutton-fat jade pendant and rubbed the patterns on it with his fingertips.

He thought that after so many years, this jade pendant would never appear again.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered.

Gu Chang looked at his own shrunken white and tender hands in confusion in his dream and asked the system, "Is this when Lu Zhiyuan was seven years old?"

The system nodded, "Yes, it's time to attend the palace banquet now."

At the age of seven, a palace banquet was a turning point that changed Lu Zhiyuan's life.

Gu Chang was still in a daze.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands passed through his armpits, lifted him up into the air, and his back touched a hard and warm chest.

"Ziqing, what are you thinking about? So focused?" The man's hearty voice shocked Gu Chang so much that he was a little at a loss. He touched his face and his fingers were wet.

Tears as big as beans kept falling from his eyes. Gu Chang turned his head involuntarily and opened his hands.

The man turned him around and groaned, "Ziqing, why are you crying? Did Dad scare you?"

The man's eyebrows were sharp, but the light in his eyes was gentle.

Gu Chang suddenly burst into tears and hugged the man's neck tightly, as if this way he could hold on to everything he had not lost.

The sadness that surged in Gu Chang's heart was like a tide, rising and falling. He knew that it was the remaining emotions of the original owner that were affecting him, but he just wanted to cry!

Lu Qiao held the child in his arms, patting Gu Chang's back with his big hands over and over again, humming an unknown tune.

For some reason, Gu Chang felt at ease.

"Hey, why is Ziqing crying? Did you poke his face with your beard again?!" A gentle female voice with a slightly anxious tone sounded.

Ye Wan touched Gu Chang's soft head with heartache, "Ziqing, don't cry. Mother is here. Don't cry, don't cry."

Lu Qiao explained helplessly, "Wanwan, Ziqing is so old now, why would I still poke his face with my beard?"

"General, the carriage is ready and you can enter the palace at any time." Uncle Wu came over and bowed respectfully.

Gu Chang rubbed his eyes silently and hiccuped softly.

Lu Qiao held Gu Chang with one hand and took Ye Wan's hand with the other, "Let's go."

Gu Chang hugged Lu Qiao's neck tighter, buried her little face in Lu Qiao's shoulder, and looked sideways at Ye Wan.

To be honest, the adult Lu Zhiyuan and Ye Wan are 80% similar.

Imperial Palace, Wuhui Palace, Palace Banquet.

When Emperor Zong saw Lu Qiao coming in, he called him over and said, "Lord Lu, you have kept me waiting for a long time."

Lu Qiao handed Gu Chang to Ye Wan and said, "I want to have a few words with His Majesty."

Ye Wan hugged Gu Chang and said, "Go ahead. The child and I will be waiting for you here."

For the following time, Gu Chang sat in his seat and fiddled with his fingers boredly, and from time to time he took Ye Wan's hand to look at it.

Gu Chang watched silently. He had no way to control his body now and could only watch everything happening in front of him.

Suddenly someone tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Lu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked over. He saw a little kid of about three or four years old, wearing an elegant purple robe. His fair face was filled with curiosity. "Are you Lu Zhiyuan?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm the son of King Anshan, my name is Ouyang Jingye. You're really handsome." The little kid blinked his doe eyes and said, "But not as handsome as my big brother."

"Do you want to go see my elder brother? Let me tell you, my elder brother is so handsome! The most handsome in the world!" said the little kid, and pulled Gu Chang's hand.

Ye Wan, who was standing by, noticed the situation. Seeing Lu Zhiyuan looking at her, she smiled and said, "Don't run too far. Let Long Yi follow you."

The young man who had been standing silently behind him raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a pair of dark eyes.

Lu Zhiyuan said happily: "Then I'll trouble Brother Long Yi."

"He is your family's guard." Ouyang Jingye frowned.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Gu Chang asked.

"He doesn't look good at all."

The two children were talking quietly together.

Long Yi heard it clearly, "......"

Ouyang Jingye took Gu Luzhiyuan to open Wuhui Palace, walked into a garden, and walked around the rockery. The two children were lying behind the grass, and Long Yi was standing behind them.

"Look, the one standing in the pavilion is my elder brother." Ouyang Jingye whispered and pointed at the young man in black standing in the pavilion.

"Why don't you go over? Don't you have a good relationship with your elder brother?" Lu Zhiyuan asked in a low voice.

Ouyang Jingye was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "My eldest brother doesn't allow me to call him Big Brother."

The clever Lu Zhiyuan understood Ouyang Jingye's meaning in a second, "So it was you who recognized the eldest brother unilaterally." The voice was a little loud.

The young man standing in the pavilion has noticed the movements here. Although he is young, he has the appearance of a handsome and handsome man in the future, and his appearance is also superior and rare.

Ouyang Yuanqi has already walked towards this side.

Ouyang Jingye was still holding onto Gu Chang, shouting to explain, "No matter what, he is my big brother! No one can separate us!"

"You are - making far-fetched arguments!" Lu Zhiyuan thought about it and uttered this word.

"What? What does it mean to make a point?" Ouyang Jingye asked with a confused look on his face.

Lu Zhiyuan suddenly stood up and was about to explain when his feet slipped and he fell backwards.

Lu Zhiyuan, who thought he was going to fall badly, unexpectedly fell into a warm embrace, with a faint scent of cold pine lingering in his nose.

Ouyang Jingye also stood up, his face flushed, "Big... Big Brother."

Lu Zhiyuan was hugged by someone and couldn't see who was behind him. He heard a very pleasant voice above his head, "I'm not your eldest brother."

Ouyang Jingye's face turned pale and he burst into tears.

Terrified.

Big brother is so scary, woooo.

Lu Zhiyuan struggled out of Ouyang Yuanqi's arms, walked to Ouyang Jingye, held the little bean in his arms, patted his head, and imitated Ye Wan's way to comfort him, "Don't cry, don't cry, Baozi is the best."

"Who is Baozi?" Ouyang Jingye, who was crying sadly, stopped and asked.

"You, you look like a bun." Lu Zhiyuan answered very honestly.

"Wow! I don't want to be a kid!" The little kid grabbed Lu Zhiyuan's collar and cried even harder than before.

After the palace banquet began, Ye Wan saw Lu Zhiyuan come back. Seeing that his collar was wet, she asked softly, "Ziqing, what happened?"

"Those are Baozi's tears. It's okay. Where's Daddy?" Lu Zhiyuan was carried to his seat by Ye Wan.

Ye Wan shook her head and said, "Your father is drinking over there. He will be here soon."

When Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head, he did not see the worry that flashed in Ye Wan's eyes.

But Gu Chang saw it.

He now has a God's perspective, but can only follow Lu Zhiyuan.

After the palace banquet, Lu Qiao asked Ye Wan to take Lu Zhiyuan back first. He took Long Yi away, saying that he had something to discuss with Emperor Zong.

Ye Wan just told him to go home early.

Then he took Lu Zhiyuan away from Wuhui Palace.

The Lu Mansion's carriage was driving on the deserted street, surrounded by the Lu Mansion's guards.

Lu Zhiyuan fell asleep in a daze. Ye Wan held him, not knowing what she was thinking, with a complicated expression on her face.

Gu Chang looked at the surrounding buildings and sighed.

I'm afraid the Ye Mansion is now a river of blood.

An arrow shot out from the darkness without warning and hit the wooden board of the carriage.

The carriage stopped and the guards immediately moved closer, looking around vigilantly.

Lu Zhiyuan muttered softly, "Mother?"

"Be good, Ziqing, go to sleep. Mom is here." Ye Wan hugged Lu Zhiyuan tightly. She knew that those people had finally arrived.

A massacre began.

The smell of blood lingered in the air, and even the moonlight seemed to be tinged with a hint of red.

Gu Chang watched Ye Wan desperately protecting Lu Zhiyuan and asked him not to make a sound. The men in black who came to assassinate him gradually surrounded Ye Wan.

Ye Wan said sternly: "Did Qin Mingshan ask you to come?"

One of the men in black stepped forward and cast a cold gaze on Ye Wan's face. "You don't need to know who it is."

Knife up and down.

There was a knife stuck in Ye Wan's heart.

Gu Chang pursed his lips.

The man in black said fiercely: "All you need to know is that you deserve to die!"

The knife in his hand twisted around Ye Wan's chest again.

Ye Wan groaned, warm blood continuously flowing out of her throat. Her eyes were unfocused, but she protected Lu Zhiyuan tightly.

The man holding the knife pulled it out, and blood splattered on the ground.

"Boss, what about this kid?" someone asked.

"Don't worry about it."
