As the first rays of the morning sun appeared, Gu Daiyan woke up from the waves of pain.

Her clothes were stained with the morning dew, and a few strands of her messy hair stuck to the side of her face, but she didn't have the time to pay attention to them, and could only maintain the posture of sitting on the ground while covering her chest.

Her stomach started to churn and she couldn't help but stand up while holding on to the rock.

He spat out another mouthful of blood.

At some point, the wound on his neck had started to hurt again, and blood was flowing out from it.

She hastily used the things on her body to clean up before wrapping her neck to prevent the wound from reopening and killing her.

"This grass really is useful." Gu Danyan rubbed her chest. The pain was gone, and she didn't want to delay any longer. She turned back the way she came. He didn't notice the nearby Duan Chengrui in the slightest.

Yue Qing followed behind Gu Daiyan as she picked a few stalks of Ninjutsu Grass before returning to Duan Chengrui's side. "This grass is poisonous, just now Princess Jing was …"

Duan Chengrui raised his hand to stop her from speaking, but he followed closely behind Gu Danyan.

Gu Danyan was not walking fast, but she carefully avoided the farmers who had gone up the mountain in the early morning. It wasn't until it was late in the morning that she arrived at the city gate. She was already sweating profusely.

Currently, there weren't many guards at the city gate, but Gu Daiyan still pulled down his cloak slightly. However, the guards at the city gate still raised a hand to stop her. They bowed to her in front of everyone's eyes and said, "Crown Princess Jing, please wait here for Prince Jing's orders."

A high-ranking officer had already rushed towards the Jing King's Manor in Sky Flame City.

Gu Danyan was shocked in his heart, but he only pulled down his cloak a bit. He stared at the guard in front of him and asked, "Duan Chengxuan doesn't want me to leave the city?"

"Even if it's Crown Princess Jing, it wouldn't be good to call her by her first name. I hope that you'll take note." The guard stood up straight, his words calm. Unfortunately, his eyes didn't have any respect for her, and even the two guards on his back had already crossed their spears to stop her.

He only followed Yue Qing through the city gate at a steady pace. Gu Daiyan simply sat in a corner at the side, using a cloak to completely cover her face and hugging her legs. From the beginning to the end, she did not see Duan Chengrui and the others.

"Yue Qing, tell me, why did Princess Jing need to be so careful?" Before turning the corner, Duan Chengrui was still looking with interest at Gu Danyan who was curled up in the corner.

"This concubine doesn't know, but Princess Jing is not a simple person. Since she was able to save the fourth prince in the enclosure without leaving any traces of his illness, this concubine believes that she should be eliminated." Yue Qing's gaze chilled as she turned back to look at Gu Mingyan with hostility.

"I don't think so." Duan Chengrui let out a low laugh, and Yue Qing quickly turned her head back, returning to her usual smiling appearance.

After Duan Chengxuan, who was eating, heard about this, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. "She just wants to annoy me!"

"Big Brother Xuan, it's better if you calm down. Sister Gu has always been like this. If you want her to not run around, you can probably only find her family to restrict her." Su Yuwan helplessly poured another bowl of soup for him.

"It's only going out of the city, why is Imperial Uncle so angry?" Duan Chengyu was puzzled.

"Yu'er, the wangfei and I are mutually beneficial to each other. The matter of leaving the city is my request. If she runs away, what will happen to Wan'er's illness?" Duan Chengxuan sighed and only made a gesture to Cheng Shan.

After a moment of silence, Duan Chengyu frowned and did not speak.

Cheng Shan immediately had his men bring Gu Danyan back. The two city guards locked her in the carriage and then brought her back to the palace. When they returned to the main hall, the dirt on her body and her sorry state entered their line of sight.

"He saved the medicinal farmer this time?" Duan Chengxuan sipped a mouthful of tea. "What exactly is the purpose of this trip out of the city? Could it be that there is some other medicinal herb that the Hall of Appreciation can't find? "

"Yes." Gu Danyan took off his cloak and wiped the mud off his face with the handkerchief that Yin Qiufu handed to him: "Not all herbs can be sold, I can only pick the herbs I want myself. I'll deal with it immediately after I pick them."

"Sister Gu, there are many wild beasts in the mountains outside Sky Flame City. If you go alone, you might be in danger." Su Yuwan sat beside her. She still wanted to hold her hand, but Gu Tinyan avoided it and looked at her blandly.

Standing up, Gu Danyan rubbed his head: "The poison in my body makes me restless at night, and I also feel very uncomfortable not finding a way to cure the poison. If it wasn't for the king's request, I would rather stay on the mountain."

She yawned to herself as she walked out, not putting Duan Chengxuan and Su Yu Wan in her eyes at all.

Duan Chengxuan rubbed his forehead as he felt a headache coming on. "Chengshan, in the future, let Chengxuan follow her every step of the way!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

After everyone in the hall had left, Su Yu Wan leisurely walked over to Duan Cheng Xuan's side and half leaned on her shoulder. "Big Brother Xuan, Sister Gu seems to be too willful …"

"Indeed, her way of doing things is irregular. If she were to offend someone outside, it would not be good." Duan Chengxuan nodded, but he was glad that although she and Qi Lin entered the Qi Residence at night, Qi Ming did not know that they were still calm.

"Why didn't Big Brother Xuan bring her sister into the palace as well? Master once said that if Big Brother Xuan wants to rope someone in, then you have to do it both hard and soft. Su Yu Wan's voice was soft.

The more Gu Danyan went out, the more people she would get to know.

Previously, Su Yu Wan had thought of all sorts of ways to get Brother Xuan to chase her out. Who knew that the moment she left, she would offend the young master of Misty Rain Pavilion, not to mention that Duan Chengxuan had gone out many times for her.

Now that he thought about it, he might as well torture Gu Daiyan under his nose.

When he heard these words, Duan Chengxuan looked at her in astonishment. "Wan'er, how can I let you down again? One Gu Liuyan is enough."

"Wan'er naturally knows what Big Brother Xuan is thinking, but …" "Wan-Er has to think for Brother Xuan. As long as Brother Xuan is focused on Wan-Er, Wan-Er will not mind having one more person in the family."

Su Yu Wan's eyes immediately turned red. She threw herself into Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace and tightly gripped the front of his robe.

His heart ached even more when he saw the person in his embrace suffering so much and even bringing up such an opinion for him. He could only hug her, but he didn't say whether he would agree or not.

If Gu Zixian was able to trap Gu Tianyan in the Prince's Mansion, it would be a good plan.

At this moment, a light drizzle fell from the horizon. Gu Mingyan sat by the window alone, bringing a bowl of medicine into her stomach. Her eyes were fixed on the iron bell in her hands.

The engravings on this iron bell were quite interesting.
