With the two of them acting so intimate, no one dared to get close to them.

Surprisingly, that General Cheng hadn't come over yet. The two exchanged a look, and after hastily eating lunch, Gu Danyan rolled up her sleeves and asked the soldier: "Where is the pharmacy?"

"Princess Jing, please come with me." The soldier made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Mingyan had only taken two steps when Duan Chengxuan, who was behind her, grabbed her wrist and shoved a piece of paper into her palm. She said, "Don't stay too long, this place is full of men."

"Got it." Gu Liuyan smiled and patted his chest, and the paper slip fell into her sleeve.

Duan Chengxuan's brows knitted, but he only sent her off with his gaze before turning around and leaving.

On the way to the water stronghold, the soldiers that saw her all bowed to her. Only the soldiers by her side mustered up their courage and said, "The relationship between Crown Princess Jing and Prince Jing is truly good."

"Fortunately, I just don't like him restricting me at every turn." Gu Danyan's expression was dissatisfied as he completely pulled up his sleeves.

The pharmacy of the water stronghold was in a small house beside the river, and the rich smell of the herbs made her feel much more at ease, but there weren't many military doctors here. She frowned, walked to the side of a leisurely military doctor, and said in a low voice, "Can I ask Mister to help find some herbs?"

"Alright." The idle military doctor was stunned for a moment. Gu Pingyan noticed that the soldier beside her was giving her a meaningful glance. He understood and decided to follow the military doctor inside.

The pharmacy had always had a variety of medicinal ingredients, and even if they were all kept in a cupboard, if one was not familiar with them, it would be troublesome to find them.

The military doctor in front of him was clearly flustered. However, he had only searched for six medicinal herbs for a long time and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Gu Liuyan walked in front of a cabinet. There were no names on the cabinets, so she pulled it open and sniffed. She raised her eyebrows, but the soldier quickly closed it: "There are a lot of cabinets. If you have too many herbs, you can put them here."

"So it's like that." Gu Daiyan pretended to believe him, turned around and took the herb the military doctor gave her. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem with the quantity of the medicine?"

"Yes …" Is there? " The military doctor quickly wiped away the sweat on his forehead. "It's probably because my eyes aren't good."

"That's a pretty good excuse." Gu Danyan threw the herbs back into his arms: "Do you know that these two herbs are mutually exclusive?"

"But this isn't you …"

"I came to test you." Gu Danyan turned around and looked at the soldiers beside him: "Don't tell me all of the military doctors here are quacks?"

"Princess, the soldiers here aren't doctors. We don't know if they're right or wrong." The soldier was also sweating profusely. However, before Gu Danyan could continue talking, he had the military doctor brought out.

However, it was unknown whether or not he had really chased the military doctor out.

"If I say he's not right, then you will directly kick him out?" Gu Daiyan looked at the soldiers beside him with a puzzled expression.

"Princess Hua-Yang is right. There's nothing good to see in the pharmacy, so why don't you let your subordinate take you to the clinic." The soldier quickly led Gu Daiyan out from the other side.

Gu Danyan took this opportunity to take out the slip of paper and look at it.

Four hours.

She threw the paper into the water and followed the soldier to where the doctor was sitting.

The place where she sat was clean and tidy. As soon as she sat down, someone came over, causing her to be immediately dissatisfied. Previously, she had clearly pretended to walk around the princess when she saw her.

After casually making a diagnosis, the people who came to visit were all healthy people. The people who had caught the cold earlier had actually disappeared at this moment.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to dig anything out of this place, she estimated that she would have to leave Duan Cheng Xuan for around four hours. Thus, she found an excuse to leave. "It's already been two hours, I have to go look for Your Highness."

The soldier was startled by her action and quickly dismissed the other people who came to treat her. He then followed closely behind her.

Why did this wangfei have to come out every time she thought about it!

She casually scurried over to Duan Chengxuan, who was talking to Xiao Hai and the others, and directly pushed away the burly man with sideburns in front of her. She walked to his side and blinked her eyes as she said, "You're not even coming to see me.

Duan Chengxuan pulled her to his side and gave Xiao Hai a hand gesture. Xiao Hai only coughed lightly a few times before taking everyone else with him.

General Cheng came up to greet him. "Your Highness, shouldn't we discuss business?"

"Yes, we should discuss it. Just find a place to talk about it." Duan Chengxuan nodded, and it could be said that he had gotten the timing right as he brought Gu Daiyan and General Cheng to an empty room.

Arriving at the room, General Cheng glanced uncomfortably at Gu Daiyan. "Princess …"

"No worries, Yan'Er has always been with me." Duan Chengxuan pushed the pastries over to her.

The only person who could ask a question without being questioned was Gu Danyan.

Duan Chengxuan knew that General Cheng wouldn't be explaining the situation here to so many people, after all, the more people who knew about it, the harder it was to conceal the secret, but he had to tell Duan Chengxuan, so he let Gu Danyan look for him four hours later, so he could make use of this free time.

At this point, even if Gu Daiyan was present, General Cheng had no choice but to speak up.

"This is a long story. Has esteemed wangfei ever heard of mountain ghosts?" General Cheng slowly sighed and pulled out some bright yellow talisman paper from nowhere.

The two of them looked at each other and looked at General Cheng in confusion.

Seeing that the two of them did not know anything, General Cheng's bitter smile deepened. "Your highness should know that a year ago, a bandit from a nearby mountain arrived. This bandit is exceptionally fierce and spent a month to break through his mountain stronghold.

As he said that, he opened the door and said something to the people outside. The soldiers then came in respectfully with a box in their hands.

Closing the door again, General Cheng opened the wooden box and saw a burnt black sculpture. The five eyes were terrifying, but the feet that touched the ground were tiger legs, and the branch in his hand held a scepter.

Gu Danyan raised his hand to touch it, but General Cheng stopped him, "You can't touch it. The military doctor who died just now died because he touched this statue."

"Because of the poison?" Gu Danyan took the opportunity to slap away General Cheng's hand. With a gentle flick of her finger, the silver needle hidden on her sleeve fell into her hand. She gently touched the sculpture, but there was no sign of it being poisoned.

"Not really. The military doctor was hacked to death by soldiers." General Cheng sighed again.
