Mu Qing could only shift his body and return to his seat.
"Sister Gu, your wound …" Su Yu Wan saw her wiping the dark red on her hands, then she moved towards Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace.
"It doesn't matter. It's just that the poison from the Mirage doesn't seem to have finished. I don't know when it would start to act up. I think there must be some kind of divine object in Lady Wan-Er's perfume bag." Gu Liuyan slowly looked over, but he was already thinking in his heart, "These medicinal herbs are able to suppress each other. What exactly is the conflict between the two that caused the poison to take effect?"
"Could Sister Gu be blaming me?" Su Yu Wan's eyes immediately turned red.
Duan Chengxuan only held her a little tighter, and just as he wanted to say a few words to Gu Liuyan, she had already started chuckling. "I'm not a freak, you can only blame me for relaxing my guard."
As she spoke, she leaned over with her eyes closed, as if she was in a light sleep.
After being left speechless for a while, Su Yu Wan could only pitifully lean into Duan Chengxuan's embrace as he consoled his in a soft voice. At this moment, he was no longer roaring at Gu Ming Yan. Thinking up to here, Su Yu Wan felt even more wronged.
However, she couldn't say anything due to Gu Liuyan, so she could only stay quiet.
After a while, Duan Chengxuan spoke in a low voice, "We'll leave the water stronghold under the jurisdiction of Xiao Hai and the others, but it's not appropriate to hide this matter. The water army is important, so what do you think we should do?"
Hearing this, Gu Danyan immediately opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Find someone to be the scapegoat, kill them and make an example of them. Then we can promote the Humble Class. The rest of the positions will be personally supervised by the few ministers and sons, restraining each other."
Duan Chengxuan nodded, then he rubbed Su Yu Wan's shoulder. "She is indeed useful to me."
Su Yu Wan had nothing to say. Gu Qing Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Lady Wan'Er, you don't have to worry. I don't have any feelings for the position of an imperial concubine. When the time is ripe, this position will be yours."
Su Yu Wan was angered in her heart, but now Duan Cheng Xuan was even willing to speak up for her!
Did she really think that she was so magnanimous towards the position of wangfei?
The carriage had already stably stopped in front of the residence of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. When the Assistant Minister of Revenue saw Gu Liuyan, he rushed over anxiously: "Princess, my son knows his wrongs and will never do something like this again!"
"I hope he can teach me a lesson and bring me there directly." Gu Danyan sighed.
The Assistant Minister of Revenue loved his son dearly and quickly brought him to Guangxian's room.
Guang Xian was curled up on the bed, his forehead was covered in sweat, his white inner clothes were soaked in sweat, he was only skinny. Gu Pingyan's eyes widened, he only took a few steps forward and placed a pill in his mouth and then fed him some water: "My lord, did someone feed Guang Xian any medicine?"
"Yes!" "Yes, one of the gangsters from Jianghu [1] brought some medicine and said that it would cure the poison. However, my son vomited and vomited after eating it. His chest and abdomen ached so much that he couldn't sleep at all, day and night!" The Assistant Minister of Revenue wiped the sweat from his forehead.
On the other hand, Gu Liuyan thought of the purse that he had lost in the paddock that day.
Inside, there was a cure for Guangxian, but two herbs were missing. In order to dispel the poison, the other two herbs had to be boiled together. Otherwise, it would only leave behind side effects.
"Do you have a prescription?" Gu Liuyan sat on the edge of the bed and pushed all of the hair on Guangxian's face to the side. He looked like he was in a daze from the pain and was just massaging his acupuncture points.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue immediately ordered someone to bring the prescription. Gu Daiyan only needed to take a glance before he understood.
Someone must have stolen her purse and taken out the prescription on purpose.
She did not have the habit of writing down prescriptions. If she did not use the prescriptions that she usually carried with her, she would only take them carelessly. On this list, there were two types of herbs that she was missing.
"Why don't we invite Doctor Mu Qing to take a look?" Gu Danyan casually gave the prescription to Mu Qing while he helped Guang Xian up and pulled his collar apart. This poison was fatal, and now that he had too much poison in his body and took the incomplete antidote, he should need to draw blood.
After sending everyone out, Mu Qing looked at the medicinal formula in his hands, not thinking that there was anything wrong with it.
Su Yu Wan sat on the stone chair and lightly coughed a few times. She lightly tugged on Duan Cheng Xuan's sleeve and said, "Big Brother Xuan, Sister Gu is so bold as to poison the son of the Honorable Assistant Minister of the Revenue Department. When you and I treated Sister Gu that way back then, would Sister Gu …"
"Wan-Er, don't worry. Even if I let her sit on the throne, I won't let her do whatever she wants." Duan Chengxuan continued to console her.
Su Yu Wan gripped the handkerchief tightly, feeling even more disappointed.
After waiting for less than an hour, the Assistant Minister of Revenue was already unable to hold himself back and wanted to rush in, but he was stopped by Cheng Shan.
After a long while, Gu Daiyan walked out with a bowl of blood. He looked at the Assistant Minister of Revenue with a cold gaze: "In the future, if Master Guangxian continues to act recklessly, then things will not be as simple as suffering."
The Assistant Minister of Revenue turned pale.
Gu Danyan only placed the bowl of blood in his hands and said in a low voice: "Remember, don't rush into a hospital. If you don't give Guang Xian the fake medicine, he won't even need this bowl of blood."
"What …" "My son!" The Assistant Minister of Revenue felt his legs go weak. He put the bowl of blood to the side and rushed inside.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, sat to the side without saying a word. Cheng Shan's eyes were sharp, he could only see that the cloth around Gu Danyan's neck had already been dyed red.
Duan Chengxuan naturally noticed it as well. Gu Pingyan only took a sip of hot tea before continuing, "My prince, I still need to go back and cure the poison. I won't stay any longer."
With that, she hurriedly left the residence and returned to the medicine house, closing the door and disappearing for two whole days.
Two days later, when Qi Rou and Duan Chengxuan walked in, she was sitting in the corner of the kitchen with her hair in a mess, eating noodles. Two days later, when Qi Rou and Duan Chengxuan walked in, she was sitting in the corner of the kitchen with her hair in a mess, eating noodles.
Qi Rou saw Duan Chengxuan standing behind her with a dark expression, so she quickly went over and pulled on Gu Liuyan's wrist. "Look at how skinny you are. Your highness has come this time to personally welcome you back to the clan. Quickly go and dress up."
"Return to the residence?" Gu Liuyan raised an eyebrow and carelessly combed her hair with her hand. She looked at Duan Chengxuan with a slightly helpless expression, "Your Highness, could it be that you've really taken a fancy to me?"
"Yes." Duan Chengxuan had already walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Since this duke has already decided to place you in an important position, I naturally cannot allow you to stay here."
Duan Chengxuan's obsession was always so terrifying.
By the time Gu Daiyan could react, she had already been stuffed into the carriage. The man in black from before was already sitting beside her, staring at her with his phoenix eyes. "Your subordinate will never leave your wife's side again."
