Duan Chengxuan was like a wild beast that had entered deep into the forest, and it was unknown when he would lock onto a prey that passed by.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was setting in the distance. Gu Danyan could only sit in the courtyard and eat her pastries, as if she had not yet left the scene where she was stared at by Duan Chengxuan.
One of them quickly took the plate with the pastries.
"General Tong?" Why did you come out? " Gu Danyan opened his eyes wide and took the bowl and plate back from his hands. He looked at the Tong Zhou with disapproval and said, "You should be sleeping."
"I've heard about the matter of the prince taking you away and swearing his authority over you. The Tong Zhou pulled up its cloak and sat down.
Gu Liuyan's face was pale, not saying a word.
In the end, she still didn't know why Duan Chengxuan, who had previously regarded her as the bane of others, would change sex after just a single word from her, and even instructed others not to neglect it before sending her back to the courtyard.
She naturally didn't believe that Duan Chengxuan had suddenly fallen for her.
When the Tong Zhou saw her silence, it continued, "The prince views Miss Su as a treasure only because when he was young, only Miss Su accompanied him by his side."
"However, I am only advising her to cherish the lives of others. Furthermore, after I said those words, he did not put them in his heart. Besides, he didn't really marry me, and I don't even love him. " Gu Liuyan sneered at herself. She could still hear the shouts from the water stronghold, as well as the sounds of the soldiers bustling.
"But you are unique to the prince."
"How can this be? A girl like me is as common as the millions of people in the world. Why is it me?" Why is it at this time? " Gu Mingyan was half-supporting her face as she looked at the 20% chance of success of the guards at the door, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
"Because Prince has finally seen you. After you revealed your talent, you have already stood out from the tens of thousands of females. Only you are worthy to stand by your side." Tong Zhou began to chuckle. His smile seemed somewhat bleak. "Once, we hoped that Your Highness would find a girl like you who often accompanied you, not Miss Su."
"So you're here to advise me?" Gu Danyan smiled and poured a cup of warm water for him. She then threw some powder into the cup and handed it to him: "It will make it less painful for you."
"Thank you." Tong Zhou took the cup and continued, "I only hope that Princess Hua-Yang can try to get close to the prince. Perhaps you will discover that the prince is not as cold-blooded as you imagined, but only because he is in his place."
With these words, the Tong Zhou also did not sit there for long. After coughing a few times, it entered the room.
Gu Danyan looked at the empty cup and his heart was already in a mess.
If it was before, she had helped Duan Chengxuan analyze the Sunset Water Stronghold only for the sake of those soldiers, then she used poison to come up with a plan.
And yesterday, Duan Chengxuan had changed his plans without a word, and without a word, he had indicated that she would always be seated in the position of wangfei, but the one he clearly loved the most was still Su Yuwan.
What exactly did she do to make Duan Chengxuan change?
It wasn't until nightfall that Cheng Shan and the black-clothed man took the antidote from her hands. The black-clothed Duan Chengxuan walked into the courtyard and ate dinner with her, but she was still unable to calm down. He could only scratch her ears and scratch his cheeks as she looked at him.
"It doesn't matter. You can sit for her. Wan-Er will understand." Duan Chengxuan only lowered his head to eat his meal, as if all the crazy things he had done today were within reason.
"But I don't understand. Other than being a bit smarter, I can only make you angry." Gu Danyan became anxious. She would leave the Prince's Mansion after settling all the matters in the future.
"But you should stay by This King's side." Duan Chengxuan put down his chopsticks and grabbed her wrist. "As long as it's something this duke decides on, there won't be any change."
Gu Daiyan had to admit that Duan Chengxuan's stubbornness was indeed slightly frightening.
However, she could only bite the bullet and similarly grabbed his wrist. She said in a low voice, "I'll promise you that. However, as long as I stay by your side, I won't allow you to disregard life."
"Alright, This King will give you the right." Duan Chengxuan let go of her hand.
However, since the words had already reached such a point, she didn't need to pursue it any further. She only focused on eating, the two of them ate fast, ate dinner, and Gu Daiyan still wanted to go out to check on her pulse. However, Duan Chengxuan still stopped her: "They've already eaten the medicine they understand."
"I'm not worried. Maybe someone didn't take the antidote. Do you still remember the agreement just now?" He will not ignore the lives of others. " She directly pushed Duan Cheng Xuan aside and walked out. Duan Cheng Xuan helplessly glanced at his back, then raised the corners of his mouth and instructed her men to follow her.
It seemed that with Gu Danyan by his side, he would be able to accomplish more.
A black shadow landed by his side. The black clothed man said in a low voice, "Prince, Miss Su misses you."
"This King will return immediately. Also, tell Wan'er about what happened here. Also, tell her that Gu Pingyan is very interesting and can be used by this King." Duan Cheng Xuan gazed at the back view of Gu Xuan's departing figure from the beginning till the end.
The man in black frowned, but still reported.
The people who infiltrated the mirage had already taken poison and killed themselves long ago, while the remaining soldiers were still suffering. She had no choice but to return to the place where her pulse was checked and check them one by one. Even their previous pain was diagnosed.
After a sleepless night, her heart had regained its tranquility.
The officers of the Sunset Water Stronghold also looked at the highly skilled imperial concubine in a different light. Only a few generals knew that not only was the imperial concubine skilled in medicine, but she was also exceptionally good with poison. Gu Yan spent an entire day helping to treat those poisoned people in the dark.
Only when the sun had set did she remove the cloth covering her face. Just as Duan Chengxuan was giving orders to the others, she directly rushed in with a serious expression on her face. "My prince, the poison that has been tested on those people is similar to the poison that has been inflicted on the Fourth Prince."
"What!" Duan Chengxuan directly slammed the table and stood up. The few generals beside him all opened their eyes wide. "What wangfei says is true."
"Naturally, I will not joke about this matter. Moreover, I have also discovered that the soldiers who were tested for poison had once tried to obstruct a merchant ship traveling on the river. Later on, they learned that it was not the emperor who had rebelled after being ordered, but later on, they were all captured to test the medicine." Gu Liuyan was extremely agitated. She had been busy the entire day and night. Even her voice had become hoarse.
"Then why didn't the other soldiers say anything!" The bearded man was the first to stand up.
Gu Liuyan didn't know this either. Duan Chengxuan's face was already solemn as he said, "Sunset Water Stronghold, soldiers are not allowed to visit their families!"
