Chapter 5 A Shocking Crisis
Last Updated:
2022-09-16 14:19:42“My Lady!”
Ting Feng’s desperate shouts came from outside the carriage, but Gu Qiang’s mind was befuddled in a constant buzzing noise. Until the curtain of the carriage was drawn open, she raised her head in reflex.
“Are you alright?” A voice rang coolly.
Gu Qiang stared blankly at the person in front of her. “A-Are you the Ninth Prince?”
That person looked surprised and nodded promptly. “Yes. It’s surprising that Young Lady Gu recognizes me.”
The Ninth Prince—Shen Qianshan.
A long time ago, she followed her father to a birthday celebration and saw him once from afar.
She had a good impression of him and heard that he had glorious achievements in wars. Logically speaking, he was even more qualified than the previous Emperor for the throne.
However...
Gu Qiang raised her head and looked at Shen Qianshan in front of her. For a moment, she felt a whirlwind of emotions.
He was a patriot who devoted everything to his country and yet had such a tragic ending; he would even accept a poisonous wine from the previous Emperor, and everyone in the Ninth Prince’s mansion would all be beheaded in public.
It was appalling and sorrowful.
“Young Lady Gu?”
Somehow, Shen Qianshan felt unsettling under this young lady’s commiserative gaze. He only recognized this carriage belonged to the Gu Family because of the word 'Gu' printed on the outside of the carriage, but this young lady seemed to have known him for years.
Despite his puzzlement, Shen Qianshan coughed awkwardly and reached out his hand to the flipped carriage. “Your maids are also injured, so you might want to get out from the carriage now.”
What?
Carriage?
Upon his reminder, Gu Qiang realized that she was still in the carriage, and was even staring blankly at him for quite a while.
“Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll get out by myself.”
Although her forehead was still in pain and her body stiff, Gu Qiang avoided Shen Qianshan’s extended hand and got out of the carriage by herself.
Due to her embarrassment, Gu Qiang did not notice the astonishment that flashed across Shen Qianshan’s face. Soon, she would know why Shen Qianshan, a Prince, would help her.
Gu Qiang gasped in shock when she saw the scene before her eyes. Other than Gu Family’s carriage which was knocked over on the ground, a black horse was dead on the ground.
The condition of the dead black horse was peculiar. Every piece of its bones appeared to be dislocated and distorted. White foam flowed from its mouth while tears streamed from its eyes.
“This is—”
“My horse.”
Shen Qianshan stood beside Gu Qiang. The guards from the Prince’s mansion were starting to clean up the aftermath, but he was standing still, staring at the carcass of the black horse. Yet, his voice was still calm.
“My horse went berserk suddenly and crashed into your carriage. I hereby apologize for the inconvenience caused.”
Why would the horse go berserk all of a sudden?
Needless to say, Gu Qiang figured that there must be something fishy about this mishap. However, Shen Qianshan’s response was apathetic, as if he was not bothered at all.
Was he really unconcerned about this, or he had other plans?
Gu Qiang was analyzing the whole situation in her mind. Her intuition told her that Shen Zhongbai, or the imperial family was related to this incident. It was three years before the death of the Ninth Prince. Had the imperial family been secretly planning to kill him for a long time?
“Where are you going, Young Lady Gu?”
Suddenly, Shen Qianshan interrupted her thoughts. When his eyes landed on Gu Qiang’s pensive face, his eyes dimmed. “I have instructed my people to compensate your damaged carriage with a new one from my mansion. But now—”
He paused for a while before continuing his sentence in an indifferent tone, “Where are you going in this desolated North City, Young Lady Gu? I’ll send you there.”
Gu Qiang also realized that her attitude was indeed unusual today. She rejected Shen Qianshan’s offer instantly. “Thank you for offering, but I’ll be fine on my own. I’m just going to Tongan Medicine Shop. It is not far ahead.”
Tongan Medicine Shop?
Shen Qianshan’s eyes became even dimmer, but he just gave a slight nod and replied nonchalantly, “What a coincidence. I am going to Tongan Medicine Shop too.”
“My Lady, is this the Ninth Prince?”
Due to the fact that she was thrown out of the carriage because of the accident, Chui Xue was limping. Out of curiosity, she asked, “I heard that the Ninth Prince rarely comes out of his mansion, why would he want to visit the Young Master’s shop?”
“Shh, be careful of what you say. There are many people here and they might misinterpret what we say,” Gu Qiang warned her in a low voice. She was sitting in the Ninth Prince’s carriage now, and people might overhear them.
She had never heard of any connection between her brother and the Ninth Prince.
Could it be that…

She clenched her fist subconsciously. Could it be possible that her brother’s death was related to the battle for imperial power? “Sister!” An anxious male voice interrupted Gu Qiang’s thoughts. She pulled the curtain open and saw Gu Huaian on a horse, galloping toward her. “Sister, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere? I heard from the people of the Ninth Prince that your carriage crashed...” Right after Gu Huaian ended his sentence, he continued worriedly. “You have just recovered from your illness, so why did you come out so soon? Is everyone in the Gu Family dead? Why did no one stop you?” “Brother, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry….” Looking at the familiar yet strange face of Gu Huaian, Gu Qiang felt a lump in her throat, and tears gushed out from her eyes immediately. How many years had it been since she last saw Gu Huaian? Five years? Ten years?

The fourteen-year-old girl was not tall, yet her words were right on point. “Is this how Madam taught you usually? Or I am not a master of Gu Mansion in my grandmother’s eyes?” Upon hearing her words, the smile on Chen Yun’s face froze. He immediately got down from the horse and paid salute to her while laughing embarrassingly. “I-I have forgotten, I ask for your forgiveness, My Lady.” It was exactly this moment which Gu Qiang was waiting for. A smile appeared on her face, and the next second, she raised her leg and kicked mercilessly on his face.Thump! She aimed for the right angle before launching that kick. Although her force was limited, Chen Yun’s face became severely swollen at once. In disbelief, he covered his face and collapsed to the ground. “Y-You…” “Disrespectful and insolent. You deserve this punishment!” After reprimanding him coldly, she turned to Gu Huaian and requested

“You daughter of a wh*re!” Chen Yun’s mouth was finally freed, but his eyes and ears were still covered, so he thought he was still in the medicine shop. Annoyed, Chen Yun bellowed crudely, “Do you think that you belong to the nobles? My *ss! Let me tell you, Madam is the master of the Gu Family now. How shameless of you to act as a master even though you are not her biological daughter!”“Pooh! Even the Old Lady has to respect Madam. Who do both of you think you are—”“Shut up!” Ye was extremely flustered now. Her face went ashen as she stood up abruptly and berated, “Chen Yun, are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you talking about?!”Unfortunately, Chen Yun’s ears and eyes were firmly covered. He could not hear a single word that she said, so he continued grumbling. “Damn it, let me go now!”“Mother, th-there might be some misunderstandings. Chen Yun won’t act like this without any reason…”

An Ye asked carefully, but Shen Qianshan shook his head and replied with an insightful look, “The medicine is real.”Shen Qianshan did not have high hopes when he asked Gu Huaian to search for this herb. It was a pleasant surprise to obtain this herb successfully. However, he felt that there was something strange about the Young Lady of Gu Family.“Reply a letter for me,” Shen Qianshan suddenly instructed. Gu Huaian was a person who could be of good use. Since he was planning to trust him with important tasks, he had to put some effort into that.With this thought, Shen Qianshan closed the jade box with a thud and continued his instruction with his usual calm demeanour. “Just write that I will attend the Spring feast of Gu Family on the day after tomorrow.”Later at night, Gu Quang sat alone at the study table beside her bed and stared at the blank pages of the book while pondering in silence.It began wi

You’ve tried hard. Despite her astonishment, she quickly sat down and wrote below that sentence, Who are you? At a different time in the 7th year of Jianyuan, the thirty-year-old Gu Qiang was also shocked.Followed by that was a burst of tears with joy. She could communicate with her fifteen-year-old self! Then, everything could be changed. She just needed to prevent herself from losing her memory that would happen unexpectedly a month later. Then, all the tragedies would not happen. Thinking of that, she quickly wrote to reply, I am you, you from fifteen years later. The fifteen-year-old Gu Qiang was also overjoyed. She then continued to inquire, If you are me, do you know how Brother dies? In the book, the thirty-year-old Gu Qiang replied, I don’t know. All I know is Brother went out to run some errands for the Ninth Prince and met with an accident. But ther

Madam Yao stopped mid-sentence without saying further. But Ye was not taken aback by her words. Instead, she patted dearly on Madam Yao’s arm and said, “Princess Changning is a kind and gentle person.” Madam Yao understood her underlying meaning immediately. So she smiled and echoed, “You’re absolutely right. Princess Changning is the kindest.” Ye smiled faintly, while Madam Yao sensibly brought her daughter away to find a seat. When most of the attendees had arrived, Ye glanced at the empty main seat which was reserved for the Princess and then rested her hand on Aunt Zhang’s hand while speaking in an airy tone, “Alright, let’s go. It’s time to call the two girls out to meet the guests.” “Yes, Madam.” Aunt Zhang heeded the command at once and sent people to inform the Young Ladies. Both of the Young Ladies stayed a stone’s throw away from the banquet hall, so it did not take long for Gu Qiang and Gu Zhihua to come into everyon

Gu Zhihua was dumbfounded, so she answered intuitively with her muddled mind. As soon as she answered, Changning’s senior maid, Granny Chen, slapped her mercilessly and reproached, “How dare you stand while answering the Princess’s question?” “I…” Gu Zhihua was stunned and stumbled to the floor after receiving that blow. After a moment of shock, panic overwhelmed her. She wanted to explain herself, but Gu Qiang took a step forward and forestalled her with a polite bow and replied, “Your Highness, she is my younger sister.” “Younger sister?” Although Changning seldom met people, she recognized the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister. She then frowned and asked in displeasure, “I remember that your mother passed away not long after you were born.” “Yes, Your Highness.” Gu Qiang’s voice was light yet polite as she added reverently, “Zhihua is my stepmother’s daughter.” Ye, who was sta

She made sure that Aunt Zhang sent that garment to Gu Qiang.Why did it end up being worn by Gu Zhihua? Recalling Princess Changning’s words, Ye got even infuriated at Gu Qiang and was dying to rip her apart. “Yes. Didn’t you know that, Madam?” Gu Qiang smirked, eyes filled with amusement. “Normally, the Princess would only be unhappy when someone violated her peacock taboo. Do you know why she was extremely enraged today?” She leaned closer to Ye’s ear before continuing her sentence in a whisper, “Because yesterday, the Princess heard someone mentioning that servant from her memory. Thus, she became raving mad when she saw a peacock today.” “You! you!” Ye’s eyes were filled with disbelief and resentment. However, she could not vent her anger as the Princess’s maid was still waiting aside. She could only swallow all her displeasure and threatened, “We’ll see who will have the last laug
