"I live quite well here, and I can even make the antidote for myself. I don't need you to worry about me, your highness." Gu Danyan yawned lazily, but she wasn't sleepy at all. She hesitated for a moment, then used both of her hands to comb her hair, took off the belt on her wrist to tie it behind her head, then drifted towards the kitchen.
"If Sister Gu doesn't want to go back, the fourth prince probably won't." Su Yuwan softly said as she tugged on Duan Chengxuan's sleeve.
"Why do you say that?" Duan Cheng Xuan was puzzled.
"After all …" I think the Fourth Prince seems to like Sister Gu quite a bit. Since Big Brother Xuan doesn't like Sister Gu, then in the future, can you help the Fourth Prince set up many couples? " Su Yu Wan said softly. She had a cute look on her face.
When he thought about Yu'er's determination to come to Gu Qing Yan's place, he felt that it was rather interesting. Thinking of this point, he could feel the anger in his heart slowly rising.
"Royal Uncle, I heard it just now. I really like this medicine house, must you return to the Prince's Mansion?" Duan Chengyu was pushed out. His injury on his leg had healed a lot, so there was no problem for him to continue walking for a few days.
Moreover, he still hadn't found out whether or not the encirclement earlier was actually Duan Chenxuan's doing. Only in this medicine house would he be able to feel slightly better.
"Your Highness, the prince is only hoping for you to receive better care. This house isn't big, and there aren't many servants looking after it. I'm afraid you won't be able to take good care of it." Su Yu Wan smiled and coughed a few times.
Thinking back to the words that his subordinates had sent him, Duan Chengyu's gaze towards her grew colder by quite a bit.
"And Gu Daiyan, let's go back together." Duan Chengxuan continued.
Gu Danyan, who had just come out from the kitchen with a bowl of hot broth noodles, heard these words. He placed the bowl on the stone table and shouted, "Silver Forsythia, blue dai, twenty percent. Pack your luggage and return to the manor."
Duan Chengxuan and Su Yu Wan both looked at her. She had clearly rejected them just now.
"How did you agree?" Duan Chengyu quickly moved in front of her, but was immediately stuffed into a mouthful of pickled vegetables by Gu Mingyan, "I'm afraid that if I disobey your orders, my life will be lost. I can only sacrifice you to return with me."
Duan Chengyu didn't understand. Gu Daiyan was already smiling as she took out another pair of chopsticks and ate the hot soup clean.
Su Yuwan could only watch the actions between Gu Danyan and the Fourth Prince dumbfoundedly as she clenched her fists.
What ability do you have! It can make people around you fall for you.
After getting his assurance, Duan Chengxuan first brought Su Yuwan and Duan Chengyu away, while Gu Daiyan found Qi Lin and gave him the keys to the courtyard, "You take care of this medicine house for me, but before your sister's medicine is sent over, I'll write a list for you and send it over when you've finished cooking it. Also, tell your sister that you'll be going back to inherit the Misty Rain Pavilion and ask her to help you."
"Why do you seem to be giving me instructions?" After receiving the key, Qi Lin couldn't help but say.
"No, I'm just living in the palace. Normally, I come back here to stay, but I just want to help you and your sister get Misty Rain Pavilion. If I work together with you, this is a deal." Gu Danyan patted his shoulder and immediately sauntered out.
Qi Lin stood on the spot, looking at the bunch of keys in his hand, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Those people were all bad friends, but Gu Danyan had only known him for a few days and they were already like friends that had been together for many years. He gritted his teeth and decided to do as Gu Mingyan said.
After returning to the prince's mansion, she still stayed in the remote Phoenix Cry Garden.
Su Yu Wan felt unwell and went back to her room early. When it was time for lunch, Su Yu Wan sat on the table to the left of Duan Chengxuan, but Gu Pingyan had already started eating.
Duan Chengxuan glared at her and treated her as nothing. He only said to Duan Chengyu, "When your leg injuries get better, remember to go to the palace and visit the consort. She misses you a lot."
"I understand, royal uncle." Duan Chengyu nodded obediently, he couldn't help but want to talk to Gu Qing Yan.
Normally when he ate in the medicine house, the group of master and servants were all chatting and laughing, and even the four cold looking servants beside him would occasionally eat at the table. Now that they returned to the manor, they changed.
"Pata ~ ~"
The chopsticks in her hand suddenly dropped to the side of the plate. Everyone turned to look at the chopsticks. Only Gu Pingyan calmly held the chopsticks in his hand again, while his fingertips trembled uncontrollably. However, she only held the chopsticks for a moment before continuing with the food.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"How are you going to treat Wan-Er's illness?" Duan Chengxuan suddenly opened his mouth.
"Of course it is. If Your Highness doesn't like my appearance, don't make me serve you in the future." Gu Liuyan glared back at him. She could do nothing about it. Just the lack of strength in her body caused by the poison was enough to make her feel uncomfortable. She had just lost her chopsticks.
However, Duan Chengxuan couldn't bear to see her like this, so he just scooped all the dishes in front of her into her bowl. "Use a spoon."
"Oh." Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes, but obediently picked up the spoon.
Su Yu Wan saw that the handkerchief under the table had been squeezed into a ball.
"Speaking of which, why does Your Highness insist that the Fourth Prince and I return to our residence? What's the matter? " Gu Mingyan asked as she ate.
"Mu Qing cannot open that secret recipe, and you still need to solve it together with him. Rather than believing in your ability, I believe in your Ling Nan Yun's secret recipe even more." Duan Chengxuan stared fixedly at her.
After all, he had taken her heart's blood in the past, and he had also hurt her in a lot of ways. He could not help but feel some resentment towards her in his heart, and what he could not bear was that there was nothing wrong with Su Yuwan.
"Makes sense, just as I don't trust you." Gu Danyan chuckled and didn't say anything else.
After the meal, each of them had their own thoughts. Duan Chengyu went to find Gu Danyan in private, wanting to ask him about Su Yu Wan. Unexpectedly, Gu Danyan grabbed his wrist and softly said, "There are some things that we can say in the Medicine Hall, but we can't say it here."
Duan Chengyu nodded and did not continue asking. The only thing he knew was that Gu Daiyan trusted him.
At night, just as Duan Chengyu was about to help Gu Mingyan tend to his medicinal herbs, the girl beside Su Yu Wan knocked on the door and walked in. She put down the lotus seed soup, "Fourth Prince, my family's young miss heard from the prince that you like to eat lotus seed soup the most, so she hurried the kitchen to prepare it for me."
What exactly was Su Yu Wan planning?
"Put it down." He waved his hand and Jin Xiu happily spoke a few words for Su Yu Wan before leaving. The servant on the beam jumped down and placed a silver needle into the lotus seed soup. He shook his head. "Your Highness, it is non-toxic."
