After the acupuncture was done, Gu Daiyan was already sweating profusely.

The Emperor had already gone to take care of this matter, and Duan Chengxuan placed Duan Chengyu back on the bed. His expression instantly eased up, but he still looked slightly exhausted, but he laughed heartily. "Royal Uncle, isn't it great that you're marrying a wangfei? Help me find one in the future as well."

With these words, both of them froze in place.

Duan Chengxuan had a cold and speechless expression, but Gu Pingyan lightly coughed a few times. "You speak so lightly. It's rare to see such an outstanding girl like me."

"I don't believe it." Duan Chengyu laughed a few times, then pulled his wound again, but he was still smiling happily.

After patting him on the arm, he sat down on a chair to the side, then wrote down a prescription on a piece of paper and passed it to Duan Chenxuan. "The first three days, two sets per day, one for each day, one for each morning and one for the next seven days, one set per day before breakfast."

After handing over the list to Xiao Hai who was outside the tent, Duan Chengxuan walked in and saw that Gu Daiyan had already taken out a medical book. She seemed to have read it seriously and didn't care about his arrival.

Duan Cheng Xuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still left the tent and spoke to Cheng Shan who was beside him. "Protect Yu'er and the wangfei well."

"Yes." Cheng Shan nodded seriously.

After a while, Yin Qiufu was unable to find Gu Danyan on the high platform, so he could only bring his food box to the tent. Duan Chengyu was already asleep, so Gu Daiyan ate two mouthfuls of the food and stood guard outside the tent.

When night fell, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and Cheng Er lit a candle for her.

Gu Daiyan, on the other hand, finished reading the medical books that he had brought with him. He saw that Duan Chengyu had already sat up and placed a small table, and had already prepared some light dishes according to her orders. As the chopsticks in his hand were a bit unsteady, Gu Daiyan simply took them: "I'll feed you which one you want to eat."

"This isn't good." Duan Chengyu looked at her awkwardly.

"It's fine, your hand is injured, it's nothing." She raised her hand to feed him.

After finishing the meal, his face flushed red. Meanwhile, Gu Daiyan continued to pack up the empty plates before sitting down and asking, "The Emperor said that this expedition was to sacrifice the heavens. Why is that so?"

Previously, it wasn't just raining heavily, but the nearby villages and small towns all had a lot of problems. Not to mention the harvest of the spring harvest, it's a tradition to hunt down the most prey and sacrifice it to the heavens. As Duan Chengyu spoke, he stuffed the leftover pastries that Gu Daiyan had brought into his mouth.

Although she liked the pastries, she still turned a blind eye to them. However, when she went out to take a look, only the patrolling people were left, she looked at the crude tent again and asked Duan Chengyu: "Why didn't they send you to the courtyard and put you in this tent? It wouldn't be good if you got wet at night."

"There are too many people talking in the courtyard. Uncle Huang should think this place is relatively safe. What do you want to do?" Duan Chengyu's eyes opened wide as he watched her pick up the heavy skirt and carefully walk outside.

"I still want to try riding a horse, and I just noticed that there's a stream near the paddock. I want to go." As she spoke, she had already scuttled out, and Duan Chengyu was flustered as he called for people to follow her.

The old coachman was currently feeding the horses some fodder. From afar, he saw Gu Mingyan running over with a small lantern in her hand and a few other people behind her. He hurriedly said, "Princess Jing, it's already so late, what's the matter?"

"I'd like to borrow a horse to play by the stream." Gu Danyan put her hands together and made a pleading gesture.

"If you don't mind having someone follow you, I'll bring one out for you." The old coachman chuckled happily.

Gu Danyan rubbed his head and quickly agreed.

She seemed to have no resistance to this kind of riding movement. Although the feeling was very scary, she still liked it. The moment she thought of returning to the palace, she would be shackled at every turn, so she wanted to take advantage of this time to have fun on the horse.

He slowly approached the stream. The people behind him knew how to keep their distance and did not dare to get too close.

The sound of flowing water and the touch of moonlight made the atmosphere very comfortable.

She carefully dismounted from the horse and stepped on the smooth rocks on the ground. The trees on the other side of the stream were scattered, revealing a large piece of starry sky. She simply tied up her skirt that was too long and took off her shoes and socks, directly stepping into the stream.

The stones in the stream grinded her feet until her heart ached, but she quickly jumped onto a rock. She gently swayed her legs in the stream and lifted them, causing a splash.

"Little Red, come and kick the water!" She waved at the little red horse, laughing.

In exchange for a snort, she became even more happy. She stuck out half of her body to look at the stream, and then mercilessly broke it with her legs.

It had been a long time since he was this happy.

She lay back on top of the huge rock and let the night wind blow her hair around. She just closed her eyes.

After a while, there were some sounds coming from the forest. She opened her eyes, but she was not afraid at all.

A figure walked out from the darkness of the forest. This person was dressed in an azure robe and had a pair of good-looking eyes. Gu Daiyan recognized him at a glance as the young master who had taught her how to ride a horse today.

"I thought it was the murderer that was in this forest, but I didn't expect it to be Crown Prince Jing." The newcomer smiled lightly and walked to the side of the stream as well. He said in a low voice, "The stream is cool at night. Esteemed wangfei, you should be careful not to catch a cold."

"That won't happen, I like the cold feeling." She shook her legs, and the person following her also slowly got closer. She lit up a lantern in the forest, as if she recognized this young master, and no longer approached him.

"Princess, you're not asking who I am?" The man raised his eyebrows and scooped up a handful of brook water.

"I would like to ask, but I don't dare to. After all, I was a little surprised to see young master sitting together with a few princes on the high platform today." Under the man's astonished gaze, he jumped into a deep stream. His clothes were wet, and she smiled brightly, "But since I can meet you tonight, I don't care who you are. As long as you can play with me, you'll be my friend."

The man was dazed for a moment before raising the corner of his mouth and pouring out the water in his hand. He said in a low voice: "It's fine if you kick me. I'll introduce myself. I am the current Third Prince, Duan Chengrui."

"My name is Gu Liuyan. If you don't come, then I will be fishing by myself." Gu Liuyan bent down and dived into the water.
