Two days had passed and Gu Danyan and Duan Chengxuan were safe and sound, as usual.
The only difference was that Prime Minister Gu was trying to rope in the forces to stand by the Fourth Prince. That morning, when Gu Daiyan had just woken up, Qing Dai rushed in hastily: "Miss! Young Master Qi Lin rolled down the cliff during the transport of goods, broke his leg, and was then sent to the Hall of Ji Shi Tang. "
"What?" Gu Daiyan sat up with a start, changed her clothes quickly and followed Qing Dai to the Hall of Relief.
Old mister He had already treated his wounds, but Qi Lin only leaned against the bed with a pale face. Qi Rou's eyes turned red as he sat beside him. "I already told you to be careful, why are you still listening to me?"
Qi Lin pulled out a helpless smile and said, "Since father wants me to go, of course I have to go. I just didn't expect elder sister to be so bold."
After hearing a few sentences, Gu Danyan understood and had no choice but to walk up to He Jin, "Mister He, Qi Lin's leg should be fine, right?"
"It's nothing serious. I just don't think I can run away from the store." Helplessly shaking his head, He Jin hurriedly instructed the waiter to boil some medicine to replenish his blood.
Qi Rou wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and said in a low voice, "It was all because Big Sis instigated Father to ask Xiao Lin to help deliver the goods. But not long after he left the city, he acted by himself and pushed Xiao Lin down during the argument."
He could only step forward and comfort her softly. Other than this, there was nothing Gu Danyan could do.
Today, she thought about Qi Yu's earlier threats, but she didn't tell Duan Chengxuan about it, and neither did Spirits and Demons hear what they said. She instead had another plan in her heart.
"Qi Rou, can you do me a favor?" She raised a smile. "Can you help me make a trip to the Third Prince's residence and bring a letter?"
Qi Rou did not understand, but she nodded in agreement as she looked at Gu Tinyan's confident expression.
When Duan Chengrui found out that Qi Rou had come to visit, he was slightly puzzled. However, upon realizing that the letter contained the matter of Gu Mingyan treating him to a meal, he agreed without hesitation.
When they arrived at the private room of Hundred Flavors Tower, other than Gu Danyan, the other two were very surprised.
Qi Yu hurriedly stood up and bowed to Duan Chenrui. Duan Chengrui, on the other hand, glanced at Gu Daiyan and could only sit down awkwardly. He didn't know what she meant by that.
"What does the wangfei mean by calling over the third prince?" Qi Yu was smiling, but in her heart, she wasn't sure what Gu Danyan was thinking.
"Before, when you and I spoke, the Third Prince listened very carefully. Why don't we go call him today?" Gu Daiyan let the waiter close the door with a smile. The smile on her face also completely disappeared.
Duan Chengrui looked at Gu Danyan with a similar strange expression, and said in a low voice: "What exactly did you call me here for?"
"I called you here for dinner, I'm just here to talk to Miss Qi about Qi Lin." Gu Daiyan directly brought the dishes to his bowl.
"Princess, you must be joking. What does the matter with Qi Lin have to do with me?" Qi Yu looked at him with a strange expression. "Besides, you have yet to give me an answer for my earlier question about the wangfei."
"Of course not! If you think I will be threatened by you, go to other places and tell this to others. I do want to see whether my Prince's Mansion will kill quickly, or your two legs will run away quickly." Gu Daiyan raised his chin proudly.
"Esteemed wangfei is really interesting. Prince Jing doesn't like you, so how can the people from the Prince's estate be of use to you?" Qi Yu sneered. After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the Third Prince.
Gu Daiyan held the Third Prince's hand in satisfaction and said with a smile: "The Third Prince will kill for me, right?"
Gu Danyan's eyes stared fixedly at Duan Chenrui as if he was asking him a question.
Duan Chengrui frowned. He had only heard of this young miss Qi before, so he would naturally not help Gu Mingyan kill her.
"Nope." Duan Chengrui let go of her hand.
Looking at Gu Daiyan's complacent appearance, he couldn't tell what the real Crown Princess looked like.
"It seems like the Third Prince isn't a good partner either. He can't even do this." Gu Danyan patted his shoulder, but slowly turned to look at Qi Yu, "If I help you, you won't harm Qi Lin, and you won't tell anyone what you know?"
"Yes." Qi Yu was still confused.
Duan Chengrui, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought. Was Gu Danyan's question testing him?
"Ghost." Gu Danyan had finally left Duan Chengrui, who was by her side, and ghost also pushed open the door and entered. Even though he was dressed in black by day, his phoenix eyes landed on Gu Danyan: "Princess, what have you called me for?"
"If you don't listen to me, how would you know that I'm calling you?" Gu Danyan raised his wine cup. "How many times have you listened to what happened earlier? Did you tell Duan Chengxuan everything?"
It was rare for Phantom Demon to not say anything, but Gu Pingyan understood it all.
On the other hand, Duan Chengrui understood the meaning of Gu Danyan's words. She had purposefully brought him here today to pretend to have a falling out.
In the next moment, Gu Danyan had already stood up and patted the ghost on his shoulder. "You can go back and tell Duan Chengxuan about what happened today. He can do whatever he wants with it."
With that, Gu Danyan left the private room.
Back then, after she had finished speaking with Qi Yu, Duan Chengxuan had immediately brought Duan Chengyu back in a hurry to probe him out. He didn't even have time to change into a clean set of clothes. So he had a reason for doing so.
How could she believe that ghosts really wouldn't listen to anything?
Qi Yu probably didn't know how she died, but since Gu Liuyan was going to pretend to break away from the third prince and expose her lies, she might as well take Qi Yu with her and die.
Gu Liuyan returned to the medicine house, carrying red dates as she fed the Silver Ear.
After an hour, Ghostly Bewitching followed Duan Cheng Xuan in.
"So you saw through it yesterday." Duan Chengxuan walked over to her side.
When Gu Danyan heard his voice, she impatiently sat down. "Duan Chengxuan, you're only probing me and you didn't directly warn me. Are you saying that I won't cooperate with the Third Prince if I eat to my death?"
"You yearn for freedom, not the struggle of the royal family." Duan Chengxuan was always able to easily voice out what she was thinking in her heart.
Gu Liuyan fidgeted with his hair and the red dates in his embrace meowed. He was on guard against Duan Cheng Xuan, as it seemed that only small animals would be able to sense the unerasable smell of blood on some people.
"And today, you have proven this point. The third prince's heart is too soft; even if he had been lying dormant for too long, he wouldn't have been able to climb up. But I am different. Since you are so smart, you will naturally know how to choose a good tree to live in. " Duan Chengxuan left behind these words and a ghost before leaving once more.
He had specifically come to the medicine house just to persuade her.
Gu Danyan didn't say a word. He didn't know that Qi Rou had already sent the second letter to the Third Prince.
