Duan Chengxuan's body froze. When he saw Su Yu Wan looking out of the window at the heavy rain with anticipation, he felt helpless in his heart.
At that time, she had also been jumping up and down with him, wishing that she could clean up the nearby ditches. But as she grew up, she became more dignified and virtuous, no longer paying attention to the cultivation technique that her master had taught her.
After that, before she had even seen the mountains and rivers, she had fallen sick, and could only guard the four sides of the courtyard by herself.
"Big Brother Xuan, can I also go to the Hundred Herb Cliff with you?" Su Yu Wan abruptly turned around and looked at Duan Cheng Xuan with eyes filled with tears.
If she continued to stay in this prince's estate, Duan Chengxuan might really be snatched away by others!
It was a pity that Duan Chengxuan shook his head. "Your body is too weak, and Hundred Herb Cliff is an extremely cold place that is covered in snow all year round. It's not easy to climb it alone."
"I can wait for you in a warm place." Su Yuwan continued.
"This is too risky. I still have a lot of enemies with me. If I hurt you even a little, what should I do?" Duan Chengxuan rubbed her into his embrace, then he kissed her on the forehead. "Only if you stay in this conservative Prince's Estate, will I be at ease."
"Then... Big Brother Xuan, please don't leave, alright? " Su Yu Wan carried the man in front of her with a panicked expression.
When Duan Chengxuan thought of Gu Danyan, he remained silent for a moment before continuing, "I must follow her. Gu Danyan is extremely cunning, and I will secretly follow the Ling Nan Yun clan."
"I want to stay by Big Brother Xuan's side." Su Yu Wan sobbed as she buried herself in Duan Ling Tian's embrace. "I don't want to leave Big Brother Xuan for so long …"
Wan-Er, I did it all for you. When your illness is completely cured, I don't need to follow her all the time. She will become a chess piece and I will only belong to you. Duan Cheng Xuan comforted her as she kissed away the tears on her face.
Su Yu Wan sobbed silently, wanting to tell him the truth.
But when she looked at the tender, watery eyes of Duan Cheng Xuan, she was unable to say anything.
If Big Brother Xuan knew that she had been faking illness all this time, would he still be able to keep her by his side?
She couldn't say.
It would be an eternal secret.
Duan Chengxuan could only console her time and time again, but Su Yu Wan's heart was still a mess. A lie required thousands of lies to be completed.
The rain outside was getting heavier.
Gu Danyan was still coughing non-stop, and his entire body was extremely weak. He could only climb onto the bed early and sleep. His body was covered with two layers of blankets, and he could only hope to cover his body with sweat.
On the other hand, Fairy Qingmei woke her up an hour before dinner. She felt dizzy and her head felt like it was on edge. When she left, Qi Rou called out to her. She could only sit in a chair to the side dejectedly.
Qi Rou didn't look grateful at all. Her sharp eyes swept over her. "Esteemed wangfei, you and I aren't related in any way. Why are you helping me like this?"
"If I am wrong to help you, then I am a sinner. "I know you have a lot of suspicions, but I sincerely want to help you get into the position of Misty Rain Pavilion. One day, you'll know that I'm not lying." As she spoke, she massaged his forehead with a headache.
"Second sister, she's a good person to begin with." Qi Lin rushed in through the rain and pulled Qi Rou outside, whispering, "Why are you being so aggressive, second sister, she's really a good person."
This time, it was Qi Rou's turn to feel awkward. Unfortunately, it was hard for her to trust others, so she asked this straightforward question because she had not wanted to beat around the bush for the past few days. Seeing that Gu Liuyan seemed to be feeling more uncomfortable, Qi Rou could only worry for herself as she walked up to her and supported her up: "I got a carriage to take you back to the palace."
"Thank you very much." Gu Daiyan grinned and let the two siblings carry her to the carriage. On the carriage, she directly fell asleep, and there was nothing Qing Di could do about it.
On the other hand, Qi Lin took the opportunity to spend the night in the medicine house and learn some skills from Qi Rou.
As for Gu Daiyan, she walked pitifully to the table with a dizzy headache. She only changed her veil on the road, and the medicinal smell was a bit stronger. Gu Zixian used a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth, while Alan revealed a look of disgust.
However, Su Yu Wan said softly: "Sister Gu, your chills are so severe. You should rest well in the next few days."
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Lady Wan-Er. I will be going out soon. There are so many books in the yard. I really want to read them. I can't rest." Gu Danyan could only rub the tip of his nose that was hurting.
Qing Dai, who was standing behind her, pointed at her helplessly. Young Miss was sick, so she dared to say anything to Miss Su.
She rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly, as if she was trying to curry favor with Di Qing.
"Since when did elder sister like reading so much?" I normally hate pharmacy books the most when I see my sister. " Gu Zixian softly opened his mouth, but did as Lan said. He added a bowl of soup for Su Yu Wan and continued: "Could it be for big sister Su's body?"
Gu Mingyan saw that the two of them had a tacit understanding between each other, so she said in a muffled voice: "Since when did Zi Wu know me so well? "I remember that you used to wish that you could never see me. In the past, when you were born, you would point at my nose and cry for your father to throw me out whenever you saw me."
This time, it was Gu Zixian's turn to be embarrassed. Alain, who was behind him, quickly spoke up, "What are you talking about, Princess? At that time, Second Miss was still young."
"At that time, you still hadn't entered the manor, so how did you come up with such nonsense now?" Gu Danyan looked at her indifferently, and instructed Qing Dai to put the dishes into the bowl, only then would she taste good.
Lan was at a loss for words. Seeing that, Su Yu Wan quickly took a sip of the soup that Gu Zi Wu handed to her and said in a low voice, "Younger Sister Zi Wu is also kind."
Gu Liuyan shrugged and stopped arguing with the two.
After Duan Cheng Xuan took a good look at the three of them, Su Yu Wan added on some soup and passed it to him. "Big Brother Xuan, there's more people in the residence now. It's much more lively than before."
"If you like it, let Gu Zixian accompany you." Duan Cheng Xuan nodded seriously.
"I'll accompany Sister Su more in the future." Gu Zixian hurriedly expressed his thoughts. Duan Chengxuan only gave her a shallow glance, but his heart was already filled with Su Yu Wan.
Just as he was about to leave, Duan Chengyu walked in. When he saw the people at the table, he immediately froze on the spot and slapped his head: "I'm sorry, Imperial Uncle, I forgot that you took another concubine's room. This is the first time I've seen Second Miss Gu, you're too rude."
"It's fine." Gu Zixian was embarrassed, thinking of the words he said when he bumped into her on the water, he quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare more utensils.
Only now did Duan Chengyu sit down to eat, and he didn't look at Zixian anymore. He only saw Gu Qingyan feebly eating, and immediately laughed: "Did the wangfei open her window to read again yesterday? It would be strange if I didn't find you for this cold."
"Only you can speak." Gu Danyan wiped her tears and glared at him, but Duan Chengyu only laughed even more.
