The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story-Chapter 50 - 50 Trust
50 Trust
Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but think of herself.
In that life in the Bright Spirit Realm, she had no parents and was picked up by her master when she was five.
Her master had once calculated her fate for her. He said that she was born to be abandoned by Heaven’s Will.
Ordinary people only needed a year, but she had to spend 10 years to produce the same results. She had to work a hundred times harder to make up for the flaws in her fate. It was even more incomparable to those children of destiny and the favored children of the heavens.
Therefore, even though she had a heaven spiritual root, her cultivation did not go smoothly.
Even if she tried her best, it took nearly 200 years to have the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. However, she was once again exhausted by the mental demons of her previous life and fell into the Heavenly Tribulation, returning to this small world.
Everything started over…
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei revealed a happy and sympathetic expression.
Speaking of which, they were really in the same boat!
Although she was thinking about it, Gu Yanfei did not show any mercy when she played chess. She aggressively killed a bunch of white chess pieces.
Chu Yi was confused by her expression that was half pity and half amusement. He nimbly turned the white chess piece between his fingers from his index finger to his little finger and back again between his index and middle fingers.
He gently placed the white piece between his fingers.
The chess game changed again because of this move. The original broken black pieces stretched out in a line, and the black and white pieces were evenly matched.
Gu Yanfei looked at the evenly matched chess game in front of her and pursed her lips into a smile. Her calm eyes were as deep as a pool of water, unfathomable.
She took out a small porcelain bottle with a blue flower on a white background from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
“If Young Master ‘needs’ to get sick, as long as you take one of these pills, your pulse will show a weak pulse in the next month, like a patient with congenital deficiency.”
Gu Yanfei pushed the small porcelain bottle in front of Chu Yi. After a pause, she did not forget to add, “My medicine is not harmful to the body.” At least he had good taste!
Chu Yi laughed softly and seemed to read her mind. “Of course,” he said with double meaning.
A little light appeared in his black jade-like eyes, and the corners of his upturned eyes curved into a small arc.
The previous three encounters had let Chu Yi know that Gu Yanfei was extraordinary. That was why he specially went to the carriage to chat with her that day at Prince Jing’s Manor.
It was pleasant to work with smart people.
Their eyes were filled with smiles as they exchanged tacit smiles.
Chu Yi picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table and poured the pill into his mouth. His throat moved up and down as he swallowed the pill.
Gu Yanfei was speechless.
Gu Yanfei looked at his every move and smiled. She thought to herself that he really dared to eat anything!
Chu Yi’s trust pleased her. When she was happy, she could not hide it. Her smile was bright, and her dark eyes were filled with joy. It was winter, but it felt as if she were in the springtime of March.
She felt that the two of them were the same. They were both unfavored by Heaven’s Will… but they did not intend to sit back and wait for death.
Heaven’s Will would not favor a person endlessly, even if that person was the chosen one.
Heaven’s Will would not endlessly hate a person.
They were not hopeless.
Gu Yanfei smiled and picked up another black piece.
As the piece was placed, something invisible seemed to settle. An unspoken understanding lingered between them.
The cold wind blew, and the half-opened bamboo curtain rustled slightly. Outside the window, three or four half-yellow parasol leaves floated down.
A pageboy whispered in Chu You’s ear. Chu You, who had been about to get into the carriage, immediately stopped and looked up sharply to see Chu Yi at the window.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other quietly, neither looking away.
Yuan Zhe saw that Chu You did not get into the carriage for a long time and called out softly, “Your Highness?”
Chu You did not move. He still looked up at Chu Yi at the window on the second floor. “It’s Chu Yi,” he said calmly.
In this huge capital, there were only a few people who could directly call the Eldest Prince by his name.
Shocked, Yuan Zhe also raised his head and followed Chu You’s gaze. He saw an unfamiliar face as handsome as a painting beside the bamboo curtain.
The warm winter sun splashed gently on the bamboo curtain at the second-floor window and Chu Yi could see another shadowy figure sitting opposite him.
Yuan Zhe could not see the woman’s face clearly and could only see her graceful figure as well as her beautiful side profile through the gap in the bamboo curtain. Despite that, he could tell that she was a beauty.
Yuan Zhe sized her up for a moment before turning to ask Chu You, “Your Highness, since the Eldest Prince has returned to the capital, has he gone to the court to govern?”
“No.” Chu You shook his head, and his sharp eagle eyes flashed as sharp as blades in the sunlight. His voice grew cold as he said, “The Emperor does have this intention.”
Yuan Zhe’s expression turned serious as he lowered his voice and said, “We can’t back down on this matter.”
“The Emperor is testing the waters. If we let the Emperor have his way, the next step will be to appoint a Crown Prince!”
“Hmph, the Eldest Prince went to the State of Yue when he was 10 years old. How could those people raise him well to be an enemy! The Eldest Prince has probably been raised to be useless. Look, he just returned and is already traveling with beauties. It’s really outrageous!”
Yuan Zhe sneered in disdain. “I heard that the Eldest Prince has been plagued with an illness ever since he was born… He’s talentless and weak. It’s difficult for him to take on the responsibility!”
His last sentence had a hint of authority.
Chu You looked away and narrowed his narrow eyes thoughtfully. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
He was about the same age as Chu Yi, but Chu Yi had lived in the East Palace with his father since he was young. They had only seen each other a few times during the holidays and had no other contact… Later on, Chu Yi went to the State of Yue as a hostage and went for eight years.
He had only seen his nephew three times since Chu Yi returned to the capital last month. The first time was the day Chu Yi returned to the palace. The second time was at his mother’s palace, and the third time was today.
He could not read his nephew.
Yuan Zhe thought for a moment and said cautiously, “Although the Eldest Prince is not talented, he is still the Emperor’s only son. Your Highness was still too careless and let him return to the capital alive.”
If Chu Yi had died on the way back to the capital, they could have saved a lot of trouble now.
...
Upon hearing this, Chu You fell silent. His thin lips pressed into a hard line and his eyes darkened. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
Seeing that his expression was not right, Yuan Zhe asked, “What do you think, Your Highness?”
Chu You deliberated over his words and said slowly, “Chu Yi is either extremely well-hidden or extremely lucky.”
Every time he thought about Danyang City, Chu You could not figure it out. It was as if he was in a vast fog.
Ever since Chu Yi had entered the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, Chu You had already sent people to hunt him down, but Chu Yi had avoided them time and time again. He had calculated that Chu Yi would definitely pass by Danyang City when he returned to the capital, so he had sent people to wait in Danyang City. Danyang City was his territory, and Magistrate He was his man. As long as Chu Yi came to Danyang City, he would not be able to escape.
But something had changed in his plan.
The State of Yue had caused trouble in Danyang City and even burned down the Danyang Prefecture, alarming the entire Danyang City.
