A peaceful night without any dreams or pain.

For Gu Danyan, this was a feeling of comfort that he hadn't felt in a long time.

The morning light shone, and Red Date was lying on the side of her pillow meowing non-stop. Gu Liuyan rolled over and hugged the kitten that caused so much trouble that it woke up early in the morning. She rubbed its belly and bullied it until Red Date's whole body bent and he mewled as he got off her bed, only then did she rub her head and get up.

He opened his collar, and the 'cloud' character under his collarbone no longer caused him any pain.

It was all thanks to the mirage's poison that he reminded her that not only had she cured the poison left behind by her grandfather, but she had also completely removed the poison from within the mirage as well. Even now, everyone still believed that her life was less than two years.

The corner of her lips curled up, but the window beside her bed was gently opened by someone. Qi Rou, who was holding a red date in her arms, smiled at her. "You cured the poison?"

"Mm. Now that I'm relaxed, it's time for me to return to the manor." She stretched lazily and took a look at the daylight. She suddenly remembered that she had taken the antidote yesterday morning and had slept for an entire day and night. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

"I got someone to buy me breakfast. In the past few days, quite a few things have happened to Tian Yan." Qi Rou rubbed Red Jujube's head before walking towards the main hall.

Gu Danyan quickly changed into a clean set of clothes and came to the main hall as well.

Qi Rou didn't like having servants to wait on her. The two of them were the only ones in the hall. Red Date was also eating breakfast on the side.

Just as she was half full, Qi Rou had already put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, "Your sister Gu Zixian wants to marry into the palace as a concubine. This matter has stirred up the entire city, and it's said that the Prime Minister has no methods to teach girls, and he actually wants the two of you to serve together."

"Marry into the palace? Your Highness has agreed to it? " Gu Danyan continued eating and raised his eyebrows.

"Not only did he agree, he even promised Prime Minister Gu to promote his family. But I heard that Prime Minister Gu was enraged, and I wonder what's going on right now. " Qi Rou spread out her hands and beckoned to the red dates. The red dates obediently jumped onto her lap and rubbed against the back of her hand.

Could it be that Duan Chengxuan had fallen for Gu Zixian? No, it shouldn't be possible.

After their breakfast, Qi Rou gave her some rouge and cosmetic powder before letting her go. Gu Daiyan wandered all the way to the door of Prince Jing Palace. Before she could enter, she saw the Prime Minister's Estate's carriage stop steadily at the door.

She quickly hid. This father, she didn't want to talk to.

Duan Chengxuan walked out as well and met Gu Cheng's gaze. "Prime Minister Gu, I still have matters to attend to so I'll be leaving immediately. If there's anything, it won't be too late to wait until I return."

Gu Cheng's questions were all forced into his throat. He could only watch helplessly as Duan Chengxuan rode his horse towards the city gates.

After shaking his head for a moment, Gu Cheng decided to return home. Gu Liuyan also sneaked out from behind a tree trunk and quietly snuck back into the Prince's Mansion. He wanted to ask what had happened to Duan Chengyu recently, but upon thinking of Duan Chengxuan's warning, he could only take a step back and head over to the Hall of Enlightenment.

He Jin was in the middle of checking people's pulse. When he saw Gu Daiyan, his eyes lit up: "Long time no see."

"Indeed, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Go back to your work first, I'll put the books back in their original places." Gu Danyan carried the book and walked inside, and even helped him organize all the books in the room, arranging them neatly.

Seeing He Jin busy today, she felt a little helpless. He sat to one side and yawned, causing He Jin to be unable to continue watching, "If there's nothing else, you can go to the nearby Misty Rain Pavilion to take a look. Young Master Qi Lin is currently in charge of the Misty Rain Pavilion on this street.

"Really?" Gu Danyan's eyes lit up. He was just worried that he wouldn't have a place to ask for more information.

"Seriously, you go take a look." As He Jin stroked his beard, he hurriedly took out a pen to write a prescription for the patient.

The spring day was about to end, and summer was about to arrive. Quite a few people were sick, and some of the guests who entered Sky Flame City during the spring were unable to adapt to the weather.

Gu Danyan did not dare to disturb him, and only came to the Misty Rain Pavilion that he had passed by earlier.

Today, she was wearing a long blue dress with a bright red rouge at the corner of her eyes, looking extremely charming. She first bowed to the princess, then made a gesture of invitation, "Young Master Qi Lin has been waiting for you on the Princess's side for a long time."

Gu Danyan only followed her as they walked. He noticed that the corridor behind Misty Rain Pavilion was very complicated, but there were many servants there, making the place very fragrant.

Qi Lin's room was the innermost one. There were quite a few scrolls of ancient books here, and on the other side was a dense collection of books. The windows were all sealed shut to only allow for some fresh air.

"It's only been a few days and you're already in charge of the property on this street?" Gu Danyan sat down with a smile and saw him scratching his head as he looked at the account book.

"It's only been a few days, but your sister is already at your husband's bedside." Qi Lin ridiculed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"How do you know about this as well?" Gu Danyan rubbed his forehead. Qi Lin was really eager for the world to be peaceful.

After putting down the brush in his hand, Qi Lin stroked his chin, "Who doesn't know about this? Your Concubine Jing has already become a laughingstock. Yesterday, I had Liu'er ask around for a bit before finding out that Su Yuwan was behind this. King Jing is going to patrol the military camps in the other towns. He probably won't be here for a few days."

After hearing what Qi Lin said, she had no idea what Su Yuwan was thinking this time.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. Even if I have a group of wives and concubines, it has nothing to do with me. Instead, how did you convince your father?" Gu Danyan waved his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"I've been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, and now I can't even stand up."

He didn't expect that Qi Lin would be so determined when it came to matters related to his sister. However, Qi Lin had a calm and indifferent look on his face and rubbed his head helplessly, "I'm coming to this shop, but I still don't understand the account book."

"Then let's go find Qi Rou. She's been snatching cats from me everyday in the medicine house." Gu Danyan stood up. Just as she was about to continue chatting with Qi Lin, the woman who brought her in just then hastily ran in.

"Crown Princess Jing, Duke Jing's men are already waiting for you at the door."

"Wait for me?" Gu Liuyan pointed at himself. Seeing this, Qi Lin grabbed her sleeve and said, "Hurry up and bring the medicine for your knee. Then, you'd better hurry to the King Jing."

This was heartless!

Gu Baiyan rolled his eyes, grabbed a brush and wrote down a prescription, then followed the girl to the door.

Xiao Hai was mounted on his horse and a small red horse was behind him. "Crown Princess Jing, your highness is bringing you along to patrol the military camp. This horse was chosen for you by the Prince himself. "
