Looking at Gu Danyan's departing back, Tong Zhou coughed a few times. "Prince, your subordinate believes that the wangfei is only a young woman after all. You don't have to let her know …"
"This King doesn't want her to know either. Weird, it's all because she's too smart." Duan Chengxuan waved his sleeve and left, closely following behind Gu Liuyan as if it was an agreement, not moving an inch away from her.
The Tong Zhou only let out a light sigh, and once again looked at the corpse on the ground, tightly holding onto the armrest.
Unexpectedly, the people from the Mirage had already completely won over General Cheng.
Gu Danyan left very quickly. She mercilessly used the name of the wangfei to push away all those who obstructed her, just like how she continued to believe in Duan Chengxuan after clearly seeing his terrifying nature.
Under Duan Chengxuan's watchful eyes, she was treating the soldiers in the secret passage. The soldiers were all whispering about the coming light and warmth, while Gu Daiyan's fingertips were ice-cold. She said in a low voice, "My prince, do you believe that there is a Bodhisattva in this world?"
"If there was a Bodhisattva, why would we suffer? This King does not believe it. " Duan Cheng Xuan replied to her.
Gu Shenwei suddenly sneered, "It's precisely because of the Bodhisattva that we suffer and eat the bitter fruits we plant."
Duan Chengxuan couldn't help but think that Gu Daiyan was advising him to cherish a person's life so much?
However, he buried a seed in his heart and allowed the seed to take root. He then coldly looked on from the sidelines and said, "Then this king will not let you go. You and I were originally husband and wife, so we should share the sweet and bitter suffering together."
"This way, in the future, if Your Highness has outstanding military achievements, would I also have a share?" Gu Danyan smiled and answered, but there was no trace of happiness in his eyes. He only bandaged their poison steadily with his fingertips.
"Of course." Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes instantly lit up.
Gu Liuyan was very smart and was adept at medical skills, but that sentence had inadvertently strung a string on his heart. He was trembling from the itch, and he was enjoying it very much.
If Su Yuwan was his most beloved person in her life, then Gu Mingyan could be considered a close female friend.
All his life, he had been decisive in killing and treated people coldly. He had only found a little warmth in Su Yu Wan, but where could he go with this anger and darkness? But now, there was Gu Danyan in front of him.
"Then I will be grateful." The corners of Gu Mingyan's mouth flattened, as she was unable to determine why Duan Chengxuan's words were so joyful.
"You will be the only one to hold the position of wangfei in the future." Duan Chengxuan bent down to stop her next movements, then he pulled her into his embrace, tightly holding her chin and gave her a light kiss at the corner of her mouth.
Before Gu Liuyan could even react, Duan Chengxuan had already pulled her into his embrace and left by himself. He only instructed the people beside him, "Treat her according to the method of an imperial concubine."
"What do you mean!" Gu Daiyan finally stuck her head out from his embrace. "Duan Chengxuan! Do you remember what I was supposed to do when I became a princess? And we were arguing just now! "
"You are very attractive, but you can only be used by This King." There seemed to be a ball of fire burning in Duan Chengxuan's eyes, as the seed in the tip of his heart had long ago split open the soil with a pu sound, and it had already taken roots and sprouted.
Ever since he came to the Sunset Water Stronghold, he was no longer able to take his eyes off Gu Danyan.
He started to think that this was an intelligent acknowledgement of Gu Tinyan.
And now, he realized with a start that it was an existence known as desire.
He could only allow such a smart and unruly girl to be used by him and not give her to anyone else. Only Gu Danyan was worthy of his dark side.
"This King doesn't need to hide anything from you. As long as This King does anything, you will know This King's thoughts. This King likes this feeling." Duan Cheng Xuan brought her to a corner where no one else could be heard. She could vaguely hear the soldiers outside moaning from the pain caused by the poison.
Gu Daiyan's mind was blank, but when she saw Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes, she understood everything.
"Is Your Highness that lonely?" She raised her hand to hold onto his face, and while Duan Chengxuan was stunned for a short moment, he was able to get an answer. Her sleeve unconsciously cut across his clothes, and it was as if a slight heat wave was raging in their hearts.
Gu Daiyan's questions did not stop. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "You treat me as a substitute for Su Yuwan, because Su Yuwan can't take you doing these dirty things, right?"
Duan Chengxuan wanted to laugh out loud. Gu Tinyan understood him so well!
Not long ago, he even wanted to kill her directly and treat her as a foolish woman.
"In your eyes, Su Yu Wan is pure and flawless. As for me, I am both righteous and evil, and I'm unstable and that's why you have taken a fancy to me. " Gu Danyan said word by word, and her legs started to tremble.
She didn't know what she had done to attract such attention to Duan Chengxuan, but this dangerous wild beast was right before her eyes, so she couldn't stop herself from speaking those words.
"You want me to replace Su Yuwan and accompany you in doing those shameful things."
"Yes." Duan Chengxuan nodded and gave her the answer she wanted, "I just realized that you understand me so much better than Xiao Hai or Wan'Er. What you said is right."
That's why it attracted This King's attention!
In the next moment, Gu Liuyan shook her off as if she was a madman. She then walked back to the side of the road and looked at him coldly: "Prince, you have gone mad."
"This King is not crazy." Duan Chengxuan followed behind her as he walked out. The golden sunlight traced the outline of his figure, but it was completely devoid of warmth.
"But I am not so easily tamed." Gu Liuyan took another step back. She clenched her fists and chuckled: "Besides, things are different when they are done differently. I don't have the slightest resemblance to your highness. I'll just treat what happened just now as …"
Duan Chengxuan's shackles stopped her from speaking any further. Duan Chengxuan firmly gripped her wrist and said, "I will protect you from being infringed by the mirage, but you will always stay by my side."
Gu Liuyan was stunned for a moment. She felt as if her wrist was about to break. Cold sweat slid down her chin and into her clothes. She could only speak before Duan Chengxuan's next crazed move. "Alright, I agree."
The hostility in Duan Chengxuan's eyes instantly vanished without a trace, and he only lowered his strength to look at her. "You've always been so sensible?"
"Of course." Gu Liuyan was still looking at him with her beautiful eyes as she said: "I'm more afraid of death than anyone else, but I still don't understand, what did you see in me that made you suddenly go crazy?"
After obtaining Duan Chenxuan's protection, she would be even more without a choice of words.
Duan Chengxuan had indeed forgiven her rudeness. He only looked at her and said, "Because you're the only one who advised me to value the lives of others."
"Poor you." Gu Liuyan sighed: "Also, I'm not special to you at all. You will regret letting me stay by your side."
