"It was the people from the Mirage that stopped the person that was following them." Only after seeing Duan Chengxuan wave his hand did he dare to continue speaking. "According to this subordinate's guess, the Mirage should be targeting the Fourth Prince. After all, during the previous attack, the poison that was administered to Princess Hua-Yang did not appear to seal her throat; they would absolutely not kill her."
Duan Chengxuan frowned as he didn't think that the people from the Mirage would have any grudges with Duan Chengyu.
"My prince, Commander Xiao is here to pay a visit." A servant walked in respectfully from the door.
"Send him here." Duan Chengxuan withdrew his floating thoughts.
They did not know much about the Mirage, not to mention that the Mirage was not part of Navy Tide Nation in the first place, and they also knew very little about it. If the Mirage had transactions with other empires, it was also reasonable for them to want to assassinate their prince.
In this way, he had misunderstood Gu Danyan.
However, as long as he saw Gu Danyan, he would be extremely irritated.
Xiao Hai was already dressed in white as he walked in. Beside him was a pot of good wine. "There's something important to say. It has to do with your wangfei."
He waved his hand to dismiss everyone as the doors and windows closed. Xiao Hai took out two jade cups from nowhere and placed them between the two of them as he poured two cups of good wine. "Today, Mirage's men attacked the Fourth Prince and the consort. But yesterday, Yun Qingyang had already received the news and left overnight. In this huge courtyard, only Yun Fu is left, but my people cannot enter. "
"The Yun clan has not left. They must be waiting for Gu Liuyan to prove their strength." Duan Cheng Xuan took over from what he had just said.
Nodding, Xiao Hai took a sip and continued, "The key point is that Yun Yang invited people who know about the Mirage to enter Sky Flame City, but did not inform the imperial concubine. We have no idea what the Ling Family means."
The Southern Cloud clan and the mirage were both very mysterious. Only the Emperor had much contact with the Yun clan, and they had sent people to investigate Yun Qingyang time and time again, but they were all stopped.
"Also, after Yun Qingyang left the city overnight, we received news this morning that she wanted to uproot the Mirage at all costs, and that the emperor highly valued Gu Daiyan. If you could get Gu Daiyan's help, the emperor would only trust you even more, and hand the throne over to you." Xiao Hai continued.
Nodding his head, Duan Chengxuan finally agreed to it.
Because of the matter with Su Yuwan, there had been too much friction and conflict between him and the emperor. Since he had married Gu Tinyan back, the emperor had rarely made things difficult for him. This was a good thing.
He rubbed his forehead. If that was the case, wouldn't he be betraying Wan-Er?
Xiao Hai seemed to have seen through his doubts and patted his shoulder. "This is the way of the world. The Emperor has treated you well. Don't tell me that one day, you want to kill him?"
"I see." The words' kill the emperor 'struck him.
No matter how brutal he was, it was impossible for him to kill his brother who was so good to him.
"Besides, from what I can see of wangfei's methods, it's a good thing that the emperor values the Yun clan so much." Xiao Hai laughed a few times before taking out a list and pushing it in front of Duan Chengxuan. On it was written a large amount of medicinal materials. "These are all the list of ingredients that the wangfei has bought since she entered the estate."
"It's all her doing?" Duan Cheng Xuan felt that the amount of medicinal materials on it was enormous.
"Almost, and she made quite a lot of Gold Sore Medicine, giving him 20% of them. There are also some medicine that were made by Helping Old Master He Jin, as well as some simple antidotes to cure the cold, as well as other strange poisons and antidotes. She left behind quite a lot of them." Xiao Hai nodded seriously.
At this point, Duan Cheng Xuan completely understood the situation.
It was as if no one had ever dared to offend the doctors in the military camp. As for the Ling Nan Yun clan, they were experts in saving people, but they could also kill people. This poison could kill people without them noticing, and this medicine could also bring back the dead.
"Although Mu Qing's medical skills are outstanding, he is still inferior to Princess Hua-Yang." Xiao Hai laughed lightly as he said that, "That Guangxian gongzi had gotten an antidote from somewhere and the pain after eating it is unbearable. I'm afraid that he will have to come to Princess Hua-Yang for the antidote in the next few days."
"Is there really no one who can cure her poison?" Duan Cheng Xuan still didn't believe it.
"Yes, many doctors say that it's just an illness. Just rest for a while and you'll be fine." Xiao Hai smiled even wider, as if he found this very interesting.
The two of them briefly discussed other matters, then Xiao Hai mentioned that the few princes in the imperial court were all ready to make a move, causing Duan Chengyu to think highly of Duan Chengyu for the time being. Duan Chengyu's character was more straightforward, whether it was being framed or having said something he shouldn't have in a fit of anger, it wasn't good.
Only after Duan Chengxuan agreed did he send off Xiao Hai, who was always troublesome, away.
Before he left, Xiao Hai even gave the ancient book that he had agreed on earlier to Duan Chengxuan, asking him to curry favor with Gu Daiyan; it would definitely be of great use in the future.
"Big Brother Xuan … I heard it all. " Su Yuwan's voice suddenly came from behind.
The normally obedient woman bit her lips at this moment and hugged her arms as she looked at him. "Big Sister Gu only has some background. Big Brother Xuan's use of her means to always stay by your side and accompany you, right?"
"Wan-Er, you misunderstand." Duan Chengxuan walked up, wanting to pull her into his embrace, but he was fiercely dodged. "I'm only using her."
"Then I just need to use it. Why are you still trying to please her? She's just a little girl. " She knew that as long as she performed well enough, Duan Chengxuan would make any choice for her!
But this time, Duan Chengxuan replied to her with a long silence and a sentence, "She's not just a little girl; her status is enough to help me get closer to the throne, and she can even cure your illness and keep her by your side. It's worth it."
Su Yuwan felt cold all over.
It was all because of Gu Daiyan. It was all her fault.
Big Brother Xuan wouldn't be so obedient to her!
Countless envy and anger surged out from her heart, but her face had returned to its normal calm. She walked to Duan Chengxuan's side by chance and cried while smiling, "Then …" Big Brother Xuan, why don't you allow Gu Zixian to enter the palace together? Gu Zixian hates Big Sister Gu, they can restrict each other, and Prime Minister Gu will also be used by you, alright? "
Duan Cheng Xuan frowned, she wanted to reject this request that was obviously lacking in reason, but she didn't know why she was so persistent in wanting to pull Gu Zixian in.
But looking into Su Yu Wan's eyes, he could not say anything to reject her. He could only embrace her, "I'll listen to you."
"Big Brother Xuan is the best." Su Yu Wan was buried in his embrace, her fingers tightly holding onto Duan Cheng Xuan's back, madness brewing in her eyes.
Gu Liuyan, I won't let you have it easy.
