"Alright, but it won't work tomorrow. There's still some residue from the mirage's poison, so I've already ordered someone to prepare the medicinal materials. Tomorrow, I'll go check the pulse of the fourth prince, and if there's any residual poison, I might need to give him a prescription." Gu Liuyan simply ate a few more pieces of pastries with a hint of laurel candy in them, which was a little too sweet.

"When you're done." Duan Chengxuan once again lowered his head to handle the matter.

Upon seeing this, Gu Liuyan waved to the maidservant at the door, then looked at Gu Zixian: "Your highness doesn't like people staying in the study. Why don't I send you back to the Pure Wind Garden?"

"Alright, sister." Gu Zixian put down the cup in his hand, stood up and followed Gu Liuyan.

In the pouring rain, Gu Liuyan had already planned out what she was going to do, but Gu Zixian, who was at the side, clenched his teeth, thinking that Gu Liuyan had come this time to make her unhappy. There was no one around, and she revealed her original look: "I didn't expect elder sister to be so charming, but I had thought that elder sister was innocent."

"This is the Residence of Prince Jing, not the Prime Minister's Estate where you live." Gu Liuyan was only looking at the group of servants quickly leaving with umbrellas. However, she slowed down her pace: "If you continue to speak without thinking, then we will really be able to accommodate you."

"Don't think you can order me around just because you're a princess." Gu Zixian quickly walked to her side and stopped her, "Prince treats you so well. You and I are sisters, if you help me take care of Prince, father would definitely be very happy."

Treat him well?

It was merely a use. Even when they were in the water stronghold, Duan Chengxuan had only been slightly interested in her. The biggest person in the entire palace was still Su Yuwan.

Sighing lightly, Gu Danyan took a step back: "Since you are my younger sister, I would advise you to be careful, there are no friends in this house, and the prince is not someone who would be seduced by a beauty. You have just entered the house today, so the prince will not bother with you, if you do anything wrong in the future, I will definitely not be able to save you."

With that, she turned and left, leaving Gu Zixian standing on the ground angrily: "If only I was born a few years ago! If I were a direct descendant, then this King Jing would probably be mine! "

"Miss, don't be angry. You should know how arrogant the young miss is. I think she must be worried that you entered the mansion to steal her limelight, so she wasn't willing to help." Alain quickly moved closer, looking at the departing figure of Gu Tinyan with a dangerous look in his eyes.

Gu Mingyan was not someone to be trifled with. She had a sharp tongue and a savage personality, and she had no sense of direction in what she was doing. She had asked her to follow Zixu in order to give him some advice to seduce the King of Jing, and this Gu Mingyan was at most just a stumbling block, nothing to be afraid of.

Gu Zixian's aura slightly dissipated, but he turned to the main courtyard: "I'll go look for Su Yu Wan …"

"Aiya, Miss, please don't go!" Lan quickly stopped her and dragged her into the Light Wind Garden. Ignoring everything else, he continued. "Although the eldest young miss and you are at odds, there's one thing that's true. There aren't any friends in the manor."

"But if it wasn't for Su Yu Wan, how could I have entered the Royal Mansion?" Gu Zixian glared at Lan: "Mother didn't call you over to help me, so you don't have to meddle in other people's business."

"Miss, Alan is never nosy. That day, Miss Su said that her life wasn't too far off for you to take care of. There were thousands and thousands of women in this world, so why did she choose you, who was Crown Prince Jing's younger sister? Could it be that Miss truly thinks that Miss Su is taking care of the Prince and not going against Eldest Miss? " Alan could only kneel down and sincerely look at Gu Zixian.

Hearing Alain's words, Gu Zixian could not help but become suspicious.

That's right, why did it have to be her?

"If Miss doesn't believe me, as long as you wait a few more days, if Miss Su is sincere enough to let you take care of the prince in her place, then I'll definitely let you go to sleep in the next few days. If not, then I'll have to make use of you." Naturally, Alan continued speaking while the iron was hot.

Gu Zi Wu nodded and agreed, he decided to wait and see what happens in the next few days.

The next day, the sky was still dark, and as soon as the rain stopped, Qing Dai had already tidied up the rest of the books. She smiled and said, "The summer is not far away, and the weather should be hot soon as well."

"Looks like I have to cherish the rain these few days." As for Gu Daiyan, he picked up his own medicine box and picked up another food box. Inside the box were two bowls of soup. No matter what, Duan Chengyu would definitely drink it, just in case.

Qing Dai followed Gu Daiyan to Duan Chengyu's nameless courtyard.

This place was slightly off from the center of the palace, but the decorations here were extremely good. There was also a large courtyard that drew in the water. It was very quiet and elegant, but for some reason, there was no name.

Other than the essential items in Duan Chengyu's room, there was nothing else in his room. There were no antique vases or shelves, and it seemed like Duan Chengyu had already written a letter.

Gu Danyan sat beside him and took out the medicine box. He could not help but mock him: "What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to some girl? "

"Nope." Duan Chengyu rubbed the tip of his nose, then he placed the ink and paper on the table to the side, leaving a space for Gu Danyan to put down everything in his hands.

"It's not like it's hard to say." Gu Danyan checked his pulse, but then took a bit of his blood worriedly. It seemed like there was no more poison left, so he handed the two bowls of soup over to him.

Duan Chengyu finished the soup in one gulp and saw Gu Daiyan's wrist. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Has Princess Wang lost weight again?"

"Is there?" Gu Danyan pinched his wrist, "I obviously eat so much every day."

"But you're too busy." Qing Dai arranged the empty bowls and medicine boxes.

"I'm not busy either. I usually read books and make medicine." Gu Danyan rubbed his wrist.

"But reading books and making medicine is a bit too long." Qing Dai sighed heavily, her eyes filled with unconcealable concern and dissatisfaction.

In the past, she had either performed surgery every day or been asked to do some academic research. Since she had free time, she would write a thesis or give a lecture at the Medical University. Every day, she would be filled to the brim.

"You are more alive than I am, like a soldier. You are always busy, eating and working extremely quickly." Duan Chengyu couldn't help himself from asking.

"I'll pay attention to that. Your body should be pretty much covered in poison anyways. I'll go back to the medicine house and read some books first." Gu Daiyan pursed her lips and stood up helplessly. She then left in a hurry with Qing Di.

Duan Chengyu looked at her back as if he had thought of something, then he took out the letter he hid earlier and passed it to the people outside the window in the end, "Leave it to Meng Youwei. Also, get someone to investigate the power Royal Uncle has in the imperial court."
