"I'll leave after eating dinner." Duan Chengxuan had already spoken.

The servants beside him also brought out the piping hot food. The food was so delicious. Gu Daiyan thought for a while, then sat back down and continued eating.

She didn't want to eat at the same table as these two women and felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the next moment, Su Yu Wan daintily brought the dishes to Duan Cheng Xuan's bowl. Gu Zi Shi wanted to follow suit, but Lan Lan, who had sharp eyes, blocked her path, so she could only give up and obediently eat.

Su Yu Wan saw that they were almost done eating, and said: "Sister Gu and Sister Gu are both from the Gu family, how should we distinguish them in the future?"

"Prince and Sister Su can just call me Zhi Wu." Gu Zixian quickly replied.

Gu Liuyan had already finished eating. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and rubbed her stomach while half-supporting her cheeks. She looked at Duan Chengxuan and said, "I thought that Prince knows the difference between a wangfei and a concubine."

Gu Zixian's face turned ugly, and Alain quickly pulled her back.

"Yan'Er's words make sense." Duan Chengxuan put down his chopsticks as well.

Just the two words, Yan'Er, caused Su Yuwan and Gu Danyan to simultaneously turn their heads. Gu Danyan only thought that Duan Chenxuan had taken the wrong medicine. Could it be that she was still acting in the prince's mansion?

On the other hand, Duan Chengxuan's expression did not change. He only looked at Gu Danyan, "Since Yan'er is my wangfei, she should be different from my concubine in the future. Yan'er, do you think I'm right?"

"Yes, Your Highness is right." What else could she say?

Gu Danyan felt very uncomfortable under Ye Zichen's gaze, so he could only find an excuse to leave.

Su Yu Wan's face was ashen. Duan Chengxuan had followed her every day and night, but this matter didn't go her way. In order to put on an air of righteousness, she couldn't speak, so she could only endure.

After finishing his meal, Duan Chengxuan rushed into the palace without waiting for Gu Zixian to speak.

Summer was approaching, and the rain was pouring heavily. Lan carried Gu Zixian on an umbrella back to the Pure Wind Garden. After some investigation, he found out that Gu Daiyan's Phoenix Cry Garden was also very remote. Only Su Yuwan lived in the main courtyard.

"But the prince clearly doted on Gu Daiyan." Gu Zixian sat at the dressing table and fumed.

"Miss, please don't be impatient. Perhaps Eldest Miss used some other method to gain the prince's favor. After all, she is the descendant of the Yun Family. It is possible that she could have even drugged the prince." Alain quickly picked up the things Gu Zixian had taken off and tidied them up.

"Makes sense." Gu Zixian heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the heavy rain outside and felt even more uneasy.

Gu Pingyan, who had returned to Phoenix Cry Garden early, had long since taken off her drenched shoes and dress. She only thought about how to find the medicinal materials on the Hundred Herb Cliff without Duan Chengxuan noticing.

Jade Dragon Snow and the courage of the phoenix were already in her hands. As long as she could find the supplementary ingredients on the Hundred Herb Cliff, there was nothing to worry about. There was only one thing, her grandfather had once told her that the herbs she tasted were known as the Hundred Herb Cliff.

However, this matter definitely could not be revealed to Duan Chengxuan. His methods were ruthless and his obsession with Su Yu Wan was deep. If he knew about this, the herb would directly fall into the hands of Su Yu Wan, a patient.

And if this formula to extend one's lifespan were to be known by the world, it would be hard to tell how one would fight for it.

It was only after the door had been slammed that she rose to her feet, thinking it was the return of Blue.

"I heard that the people from the Mirage have already infiltrated the water stronghold. Are you alright?" Duan Chengyu was standing at the entrance, his shoes and pants were all wet.

"Of course I'm fine." Gu Daiyan opened up a path for him to enter.

Duan Chengyu simply sat down and stared at the back of Gu Danyan. He watched as she poured hot tea into his hands and stared fixedly: "Royal Uncle clearly knew that there was a problem with the water stronghold. Why did he still bring you there?"

"I was afraid that my Bane would bring you disaster." Gu Liuyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh right, don't look for me in the future, I'm just enjoying myself."

"You are afraid that I will be scolded by Imperial Uncle, right?" Duan Chengyu smiled.

"I'm afraid that Duan Chengxuan will scold me, but I still want to stay alive." Gu Danyan rolled his eyes helplessly and took the book to read: "But now the rain is falling heavily, so I won't rush you."

Duan Chengyu smiled, but didn't say anything.

When the young girl returned, Duan Chengyu was already gone. Gu Daiyan was engrossed in her medical book as she shook her head helplessly, and went up to welcome her: "Miss, you only know how to study the medical book every day. Why are you not trying to please the Prince? "When I came back just now, I saw Miss Zixian bringing things to the prince's study."

"Struggling is meaningless." Gu Danyan obediently put down the book: "Have you decided on your summer clothes yet?"

"Yes, tomorrow the tailor will come to measure the size." Qing Dai nodded, and helped Gu Mingyan organize her things before continuing, "Moreover, just now, the Prince wanted you to visit his study, I'm afraid you'd have to bump into him."

"What do you want me to do in the study?" Gu Daiyan did not understand, but the beautiful woman did not know either.

As a result, he had to endure the heavy rain.

Arriving at the study room, he saw Gu Zixian and Lan Lan sitting at the side. When they saw Gu Danyan enter, they were slightly stunned, and their faces also darkened.

On the other hand, Gu Danyan, who was being stared at, was indifferent. He sat to the side and asked, "What has Prince called me here for?"

"In the future, look after your sister yourself." Duan Chengxuan opened the next envelope without even raising his head.

Gu Zi Wu gritted his teeth.

"My lord, the poison in my body has already been cured. When summer arrives, I will return to Ling Nan Yun clan, and then I will go to Hundred Herb Cliff. In addition, the second young miss of the Qi family is still living in my medicine house, and I will have to settle them down there in the next few days." Gu Danyan frowned. She had a headache when she thought about how it would take her half a month to go to Ling Nan.

Hearing these words, Duan Cheng Xuan was slightly shocked. It hadn't even been a few months, yet she had already cured the poison?

"Ling Nan Yun family, I will send someone to follow you. As for this Hundred Herb Cliff, I will personally accompany you." Duan Chengxuan finally raised his head, and his gaze once again descended upon Gu Zixian, "Since that's the case, I'll let the steward take care of your sister."

"Oh." Gu Daiyan nodded. The maidservant had already walked in. She placed a plate of pastries beside her and poured a cup of tea. She picked it up and took a sip, her eyes lighting up.

Gu Zixian clenched the rim of his cup tightly. She had been sitting here for a long time, but Gu Mingyan had just arrived.

After a while, Cheng Shan passed a few items to Gu Danyan and said in a low voice: "Princess Wang should need these in the future."

Inside the box was a piece of paper with the Misty Rain Pavilion's location written on it, as well as the tokens from the Misty Rain Pavilion and Prince Jing's mansion. She glanced at the box and closed it. "Is the prince serious?"

"In their stead, you have to cooperate well with them." Duan Cheng Xuan glanced at the heavy rain outside the window. "I'll accompany you there personally tomorrow. Of course, you can choose who you prefer."
