The enemy's path was narrow.

Gu Pingyan was stunned for a moment, but he only smiled.

Qi Lin froze on the spot, only then did Qi Lin heave a sigh of relief when Gu Tinyan helped him pull down the curtain.

Duan Chengyu had indeed heard about Gu Zixian's matter from them yesterday, and even Qi Lin knew that the Prime Minister had always doted on this concubine, so he naturally didn't want to provoke her and cause a fire to burn his body.

"Isn't this the imperial concubine?" Why did he call a few men to swim the lake? Do you still know about honor and honor? " The woman beside Gu Zixian sneered. However, the boatman of the cruise liner also turned his head, bringing the cruise liner towards them.

"Don't say it like that. She's Princess Consort Jing after all. Why don't you invite her up to take a seat?"

"Crown Princess Jing likes to play with men, what's there to play with us?"

On the other hand, the other young ladies of the Shangguan Family spoke rudely. Duan Chengyu's face darkened, and even Qi Lin couldn't believe what he had just heard. These women clearly had a gentle and refined appearance, but why were their words so unpleasant to hear?

"Elder sister, why don't you come up and have a seat? It's been a long time since we've talked about old times. " Gu Zixian waved his hands to stop them from speaking, and there was a smile on his face.

"There's no need for that. I will not gossip like you. Naturally, I will not be unable to clearly see my own status." Gu Daiyan did not turn around. He only raised his hand and poured Duan Chengyu a cup of medicinal tea that he had brought along with him.

The fragrance was sweet and the tea was slightly bitter, but it was a good medicine to calm the heart fire.

"Big sister looks down on all the young misses?" Gu Zixian sneered. Last time in the Residence, if it wasn't for King Jing, she would have definitely humiliated Gu Danyan, but today there were only a few ladies around, and they did not believe that they could not embarrass her. Thus, they said: "Why don't we go against the poem and spar?"

It seems that father and aunt did not properly teach you how to use the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Also, in the future, you should just call me Princess Concubine. Call me Big Sister, and those who don't know it would think that you, Huang Hua's daughter, is the concubine of the Prince. Gu Danyan glanced at her indifferently.

"You!" Gu Zixian stood up fiercely and turned the cup in his hands, smiling: "In addition, the Fourth Prince hasn't returned to the Heavenly Flame for a long time, I was ordered by the Prince to bring the Third Prince out, but I didn't expect that you would be so rude, if father knew about this, I'm afraid he would be punished."

Gu Daiyan's gaze finally descended onto Duan Chengyu, and Duan Chengyu sat on his wheelchair with a heavy expression.

Just now, Gu Zixian was too focused on teasing Gu Daiyan that he didn't notice that the person beside her was the Fourth Prince. The young miss of the Shangguan family on the boat also started to panic.

Gu Mingyan half propped up her face as she looked at Duan Chengyu. "Fourth Prince, do you think they treat you as my man and insult the Imperial Family like this? What punishment do you think they should have?"

"It should be punished." Duan Chengyu waved his hand with a cold face, the attendants behind him already understood what was going on.

"Fourth Prince, it's my daughter who is blind and doesn't recognize Mt. Tai. Please be magnanimous, Fourth Prince. Please don't bother with us." Gu Zixian hastened to bow. If Gu Cheng were to find out that he had said that the Fourth Prince was a man Gu Liuyan was playing with, he would have broken her legs even if he had doted on her!

The several young ladies of the Shangguan Family were also trembling in fear.

However, Duan Chengyu did not say a word. When the cruise liner entered the middle of the lake, the few of them looked at each other and started laughing. The woman in white covered her mouth and chuckled, "Liu'er has just crossed the mark, to not recognize Imperial Consort Jing and Fourth Prince. Please forgive me, Consort Wang and Your Highness."

"No worries. I only came here to play. Just now, I was merely disturbed by a few chattering young ladies." Gu Danyan blinked at her, then took out everything in the food box.

"Princess likes snacks?" Liu'er looked at the pastries on the table in surprise.

"I like it. Usually, when I'm together with medicinal herbs, I always have a bitter taste, so I like sweet things." Gu Danyan smiled sweetly.

"In that case, esteemed wangfei can send people to our Wind Listening Pavilion normally, but our snacks are top-notch." Liu'er quickly said. She waved her hand at the green-gowned women, and the other cute girls all nodded and started talking about the pastries.

Gu Liuyan was about to make a move when he heard this.

Qi Lin still wanted to interrupt, but when he saw that the women on the boat were already chatting, he could only look at Duan Chengyu and drink together helplessly. When Duan Chen saw Gu Daiyan mixed in with the group of women, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Imperial Uncle usually not coming to look for her?"

"Never in the future." Qi Lin spread out his hands and said, "After all, everyone in Sky Flame City knows that the King's Mansion is a place with many treasures. Usually, the King would treat Princess Jing as his own daughter, but he has never bothered with her."

Duan Chengyu raised his eyebrows, then he looked at Qi Lin and said in a deep voice: "Your Misty Rain Pavilion also has brothers and sisters, do you ever believe that someone close to you will harm you because of your family background?"

Saying this, Qi Lin frowned and nodded, "I'm the youngest in the family, but I have no skills or skills, they all treat me nicely, but my sickly second sister, with great talent, knows how to take care of everything in the Misty Rain Pavilion, and was pushed into the lake by the eldest sister a few years ago. Recently, I've been getting thinner and thinner, and don't have the heart to take care of the Misty Rain Pavilion, let alone the brothers who come and go together."

"That's right, Second Miss Qi is truly a pitiful person. Previously, she came to our Wind Listening Pavilion to listen to music, but behind her, the door was closed, and Young Master Qi once again sneakily brought me to the mansion to accompany her. Who knew that Miss Qi would report to me and chase me out? At that time, Young Master Qi was also beaten up by father." Liu'er interrupted.

Qi Lin smiled wryly and only took a sip of the tea.

"Your second sister is physically weak. I'm afraid that she didn't fall sick when she entered the cold pond the other day. With Miss Qi being so vicious, she definitely wouldn't let a good doctor treat your sister. Is there any way to bring me into the mansion?" Gu Liuyan also got up from the cushion, and put a hand on Liu'er's shoulder.

His eyes lit up, and it was only then that Qi Lin remembered that he had a medical expert beside him. "Really?"

"Seriously!" Gu Liu'er lightly tapped Liu'er's chin. Liu'er then reprimanded her and quickly left her fingertip, covering her face with her hands and feeling a bit embarrassed.

After lightly coughing a few times, Duan Chengyu could only helplessly say: "If you interfere in this matter, then Royal Uncle will definitely not forgive you. Previously, just because you had too many friends by your side, he already injured your wrist; if you still went to Qi Lin's mansion to help treat someone, he will definitely think that your reputation has been tainted."

"Then I just need to wear a mask, it won't be exposed." Gu Daiyan came over and gave Qi Lin a slap on the face.

"It's just that I have an engagement, so I don't dare to go back openly. Why don't we sneak in?" Qi Lin suggested. Gu Liuyan nodded: "It's better to choose a day than to strike a day. Tonight is a good day!"

The corners of Duan Chengyu's forehead twitched, he didn't know how these two people, who didn't know any martial arts, would be able to sneak into the Qi Residence.
