What does it have to do with the person who set the rules?

The others looked at each other, speechless.

Gu Danyan reacted immediately. Even Xiao Hai had a serious expression. They exchanged looks and Gu Danyan decided not to disturb them anymore. She went back to the pharmacy and ignored everything outside.

She dragged her tired body to the table outside the pharmacy and poured herself a glass of water with trembling hands. At some point, Cheng Yi had come in and brought him a food box. He was expressionless, but his voice was very soft. "I just brought it from the kitchen."

"Many thanks. It's getting late, you should get an early rest as well." Gu Danyan quickly opened the box and started to eat. He was very tired and weak, so he should have rested early.

After eating their fill, Xiao Hai had already followed Duan Cheng Xuan in. The two of them had serious expressions and the water stronghold had completely quieted down. Xiao Hai saw that she had just finished his meal and was slightly surprised: "The fourth fragment of the night is almost over."

"Just finished." Gu Danyan put the bowl back into the food box and stood up to rub his stomach. He didn't seem to want to sleep, but was very curious about the water stronghold: "What's going on with this water stronghold?"

"Luoshui is the merchant ship of the past, as well as the people from the martial arts world who came to buy poison. They also took quite a few things from the mirage, and the remaining generals all died a few hours ago. This matter has already been reported to the emperor." Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice.

Because of this, many illiterate soldiers were selected, and from time to time they would stop merchant ships in the name of training at sea, requesting for money to be given to them. As for Mirage, they borrowed their mountains to plant poisonous plants and sell poisonous substances, and even won over quite a few high-ranking officials, and even gave them a sum of money from the water stronghold.

Only two families wanted to find a mirage to buy poison, while the other families simply came to fish for oil and water. The Tong Zhou had also investigated about the mirage and the cultivation of poisonous grasses before being imprisoned.

"The problem is so big, this is under the eyes of the Son of Heaven." Gu Liuyan rubbed her chin, walked around a few times, and then came back: "But this matter is very important, and we are in the Sunset Water Stronghold. The Emperor will definitely not spread it out, so we can only give up on other opportunities to cause trouble for them one by one."

Xiao Hai, who was at the side, nodded his head. With the corner of his mouth raised, he cupped his hands towards Gu Danyan and said, "Also, thank you, Princess Wang, for saving the Tong Zhou ship!"

"It's fine. We just came here for nothing. Fortunately, all the soldiers here are still alive and well, so I am relieved." Gu Danyan yawned lazily and snuck into the room to sleep early.

In any case, almost all the generals here had died, and the forces within the water stronghold had also been investigated thoroughly. Only then would the emperor come knocking one by one to settle the score, so they didn't need to continue performing such a loving act.

However, she had only slept for four hours when she woke up from her dream. In her dream, the wind was piercing as blood flowed like a river.

She would not forget that she had poisoned him too. In the end, he still poisoned the entire water stronghold.

Although the people who committed suicide had long since been dealt with, she could still imagine the terrifying scene at the mass grave.

She got up from the bed and changed into a clean set of white clothes. Dressed in a dark blue cloak, she pushed open the door and it was already broad daylight in the horizon. The few generals that Duan Chengxuan had brought with him had already officially taken over the water stronghold.

She still pushed open the door and drifted into the kitchen. When the kitchen staff saw her, they all smiled brightly. "Why is Princess Jing up so early? She was busy so late last night."

"I just can't sleep." She rubbed her hands and asked the cook to make her a bowl of noodles and a small bowl of wonton. She then pulled a wooden stool to the entrance of the kitchen and sat down to eat breakfast.

She had just finished eating half a bowl of wonton soup when a group of people walked in and saw her. They all quieted down and went to the kitchen to get some food.

Gu Liuyan was not full yet, and she watched them leave with a blank look on her face. She yawned a few times, but after she finished eating the noodles along with the soup, she was still a bit hungry.

The soldiers on the road gave way to her when they saw her.

She frowned as she took out half of the bun from her mouth. For some reason, she rubbed her face. Was there something on her face?

Even when she arrived at the Tong Zhou's courtyard, she still could not find the reason.

However, he was still a general of the water stronghold and was unable to leave. Thus, Gu Pingyan could only try his best to cure him before he left, and he had already prepared several medicine lists for him and the other soldiers who were testing the poison.

However, as soon as they entered the door, there was an ordinary looking girl standing next to the Tong Zhou. He looked like he was about to cry, and when she saw her walk in, he quickly wiped the tears from his eyes and retreated to the side to pay his respects. "This humble one pays his respects to Crown Princess Jing …"

"No need." Gu Danyan waved his hand and walked to the side of the table. He had already put away the herbs and was just waiting for her to mash them. She said in a low voice: "You guys chat. Just pretend that I don't exist."

The woman was momentarily stunned, but the Tong Zhou waved at her. "I've made you worry."

"Did you tell me before you faked your death?" The girl rebuked, but couldn't help but cast a curious glance at Gu Daiyan. She tugged at the Tong Zhou ship's sleeves. "Why is this Crown Princess Jing so different from the legends …"

"Seeing is believing." Tong Zhou nodded and embraced her in a comforting manner. "It's all my fault. When I'm fully recovered, I'll go to your house and propose marriage."

The woman's face instantly turned red. The two of them were so intimate.

With Tong Zhou's lover here, she couldn't just go over and apply the medicine. After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed the herbs into the woman's arms: "Apply the herbs on the wound, and after a while apply it. Then, take it off, wipe off the medicinal stains on the wound with a dry cloth and change it into linen or fine cloth."

"Oh …" "Right." The woman was curious.

Gu Danyan felt the pulse of the Tong Zhou and looked at him: "You are not young and you are also a high-ranking officer, why didn't you come to propose marriage earlier?"

"It was all because of this water stronghold." The Tong Zhou ship could do nothing about it, and the woman's eyes dimmed.

"That's great then. I wish the two of you a hundred years of good fortune and early birth." Gu Danyan chuckled and wrote two more orders before leaving, leaving the two of them smiling at each other.

After leaving the Tong Zhou Courtyard, Duan Chengxuan turned around just as he closed the door. He was shocked by the sight of General Tong's face and took a step back. "General Tong is with the one whom I love."

"I'm here to bring you back to the Sky Flame." Duan Cheng Xuan grabbed her wrist.
