The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as Gu Kaiyuan entered, shivering in the cold. "Damn the weather, it changes so suddenly, it's gotten so cold all of a sudden."

Bai Suihe glanced outside. They were hiding inside and hadn't really felt the temperature drop. "Has it gotten colder?"

“A cold snap in early spring,” Gu Kaiyuan said, waiting until the chill had subsided a bit before moving further inside. “But once the cold snap is over, the temperature will stabilize.”

"Have you finished taking care of everything?" Bai Suihe asked. "I've prepared what you asked for. Shall I give it to you?"

"So fast?" Gu Kaiyuan wasn't too surprised when he thought of Granny Pang. "Then give it to me, and send it away with me."

"This drug has a fatal flaw: if it is detected in a short period of time, it is curable."

Gu Kaiyuan paused for a moment, "But what if it's solved? The other princes can make a big fuss about it."

Whether he has children or not is not important, but at least not now.

What he wanted was to buy time and weaken the Third Prince's fortune, so that he could not enjoy all the benefits as he had last time.

By the end of this year, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Gu Antong will become pregnant and give birth to his eldest son. The other principal wives and concubines will also give birth to imperial grandsons one after another, making Rong Ruiyuan the most prominent figure in the world.

This medicine will be a mystery, rendering Rong Ruiyuan infertile. Who will benefit? Even if it's found out, it will only muddy the waters further.

"Then who did you arrange this?" Bai Suihe was even more worried about this. If it were found out, the spy she had painstakingly placed would probably not have a good ending.

"Don't worry, I'll have our people leave once the medicine is administered." Gu Kaiyuan is in dire need of manpower right now, and having him arrange such an important matter means he must be a trusted confidant, so of course, we must make thorough preparations.

Bai Suihe said, "Then tell our people to be careful. If they can't complete the task, don't force them."

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at her with a complicated expression. Bai Suihe was kinder than he remembered, and he didn't know if that was a good thing.

"I will keep the order going," Gu Kaiyuan sighed. Even if he couldn't find an opportunity, safety should be the priority.

Gu Kaiyuan needed to deliver the goods as soon as possible, since the people he had arranged would be on their way as soon as the city gates opened the next morning, and he had to make the arrangements first.

Bai Suihe held Gu Xingyang in a daze. She did have some deadly poison on hand. If she could, she would like to kill Rong Ruiyuan and the others in one go, but she couldn't!
With their current capabilities, they can't guarantee everything will be foolproof. Having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want Gu Kaiyuan to do something uncertain again.

The drugs they're administering now aren't lethal; they'll be gone without a trace. Letting them fight amongst themselves and exhaust themselves is the best option.

"Mommy, don't be sad," Gu Xingyang said, stroking Bai Suihe's face with her little hand.

"When I'm a little older, I'll take care of them for you myself."

Bai Suihe listened to her childish words and pressed her face against her little hand. "Mother is not unhappy, but it is a pity that she cannot have her revenge."

Bai Suihe herself was extremely unhappy with this tug-of-war, realizing that since they still had to live their lives, they could only take it slowly.

“When I’m a little older, I’ll take Mommy on a treasure hunt,” Gu Xingyang changed the subject. “I’m really good at it. As long as it’s within ten meters of me, no treasure can hide.”

Bai Suihe stroked her little face, "Don't tell your mother about these things. We have to have our own secrets. Remember, sometimes telling another person makes it not a secret."

Even with your closest loved ones, you won't be able to be completely open with them anymore.

Gu Xingyang obediently replied, "Mother, I understand."

Bai Suihe wasn't sure if he really knew, so she could only teach him slowly later. Considering that it had gotten colder outside, she didn't think about carrying her out. Instead, she took her to the inner room, placed her on her special bed, and then leaned back, holding a storybook, and began to read to her.

"Mother, these storybooks are all a bit boring. I really miss a certain website now, where you can find all kinds of storybooks and there's no end to them."

Bai Suihe became interested and put down her book. "You even know how to browse websites?"

"Hehe, Mom, isn't this what I'm learning from you? I'll learn whatever you learn by being by your side."

"Then why are you still so naive?" Bai Suihe felt it was wrong. She had been in school for more than ten years, plus her social experience. Gu Xingyang and she should have matured by now.

“But that’s how I should be,” Gu Xingyang blinked. “I’m still a baby, so of course I have to have baby habits.”

Bai Suihe moved her face closer, "Is this because of your physical condition?"

"Mom is so smart, otherwise I wouldn't need to sleep so much. It's all because my body needs it. I also need to grow taller."

Bai Suihe gently tapped her cheek. "You do need to grow taller, so eat and sleep well, and do what a child should do. Don't be so virtuous every day."

Gu Xingyang smacked her lips. "But this kind of baby life is so boring. If I were ignorant, I could certainly do it, but all they do is eat and sleep all day. It's really pitiful..."

Gu Xingyang is putting on an act again, but she is really annoyed inside. Starting from being a baby, she has already been deprived of so much. Is her mother going to take away even this little bit of interest of hers?

Bai Suihe was charmed by her pitiful little expression and comforted her in a low voice, "Alright, alright, I know you're bored. Next time there's something exciting, Mommy will take you to see it."

"My mother is the best. If there is a lively event like today, my mother can't leave me behind again."

Bai Suihe said irritably, "What are you thinking? Do you expect people to have a miserable home every day?"

After what happened with the Lin family, the inner quarters of all the mansions will definitely be quiet for a while.

Bai Suihe mentally reviewed the events for Madam Lin. Sure enough, there are always smart people everywhere. If you think these ancient people are stupid, you would be making a big mistake.

Look at what she did; Bai Suihe herself admitted that she couldn't have done it as perfectly.

As long as Madam Lin stays true to herself, the Lin family will never escape her control.

How could such a woman fall ill from fright simply because of Madam Gu's threats?
Bai Suihe suddenly sat up, and Gu Xingyang stared at her with wide eyes, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Do you think all of this might have been a scheme orchestrated by Madam Lin?"

Gu Xingyang said, "Isn't this all normal? If she doesn't scheme, she'll be the one who suffers in the end."

“That’s not what I meant. I meant from the very beginning, from that banquet…”

Bai Suihe suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. If that were really the case, it would be terrifying.

"It shouldn't be that bad..." Gu Xingyang was also a little uncertain.

"How could it not be that bad? These ancient people may be ancient, but they weren't stupid."

We were too arrogant before, and fell into someone else's carefully laid trap. (End of Chapter)
