"So you're saying that Madam thinks that it's Princess Jing's fault?"

Duan Chengrui sat alone in front of his study table and only put down the brush and ink in his hand as he helplessly looked at the furious Chang Yiqin in front of him. On the other hand, Yue Qing sat modestly to the side as she sipped her tea, her eyes filled with emptiness.

"Yes." Chang Yi Qin's face turned red from anger, but her eyes were wide open as she looked at Duan Chengrui. "Big brother Rui, can you seek justice for me?"

"Of course not. The imperial concubine is my imperial uncle's reverse scale. She is very noble, so I can't do it myself." Duan Chengrui helplessly shook his head, then he saw that Chang Yiqin had instantly calmed down and lowered her head. He then continued, "However, I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I can accompany you to pick some rouge and cosmetic powder, alright?"

"Rui gege, is that true?" Chang Yiqin's eyes lit up.

"Seriously." Duan Chengrui nodded his head seriously, and with a few words, he sent Chang Yiqin away.

Yue Qing followed Chang Yiqin and left, but returned in the end, puzzled. "Why does the prince want to spoil his mistress? The good tea shop isn't a big place, so there's no need to be afraid of them coming here."

Duan Chengrui's eyes dimmed, but he was still 70% helpless. "Although Yiqin is arrogant, her mind is pure, and from the beginning to the end, she was completely devoted to me. Even though I can't use her, I can't intentionally harm her either."

"For a prince to act like this is too soft-hearted." Yue Qing lowered her head.

To a prince, being soft-hearted was no different from having a fatal weakness.

However, Duan Chengrui was different from his other brothers. He did not like to move about freely, and only liked to move about freely. Normally, he would not reveal himself, but he was a guest and had established a good reputation.

But from beginning to end, Yue Qing had always been with him, but she didn't understand him.

He stood up slowly and walked to Yue Qing's side to help her up. "My heart is kind. I don't want to change it in the future. Remember to be kind too. Don't forget it just because I taught you martial arts."

"Yes." Yue Qing nodded seriously. Although she was unhappy, she didn't dare to say anything.

That night, Gu Daiyan called someone to send Qi Lin back to the medicine house.

With no one disturbing her, the Silveryjade Bodhisattva finished preparing the things she needed to return to the Lingyun School. She had naturally turned on the lights to read at night, and had long forgotten about the previous cold weather.

She didn't have much time left to read, so she naturally had to hurry.

In just a few days, Duan Chengyu used the opportunity to look at Qi Lin's origins, but in reality, he didn't know which of his tendons had gone wrong. Instead, he pushed Qi Lin's wheelchair into Sky Flame City to commit evil, causing Gu Danyan to have to help solve the problem every time.

Just like today, the two of them casually ordered a large table full of dishes without any money pouch.

Gu Danyan came with the medical book in her arms. The two of them smiled at her brilliantly: "I forgot to bring money."

She was angered to the point that she wanted to use the medical manual to smash these two overlords. In the end, she thought of the precious medical manual in her hands and endured. She could only be pressed down by Duan Chengyu as she said, "We'll eat together."

Gu Daiyan rolled her eyes in return, but she still obediently sat down and continued eating.

If she didn't eat, then it was a waste of time. She had paid for it!

However, she continued to eat while flipping through the book, not noticing that there was another person by her side. However, when she put down the chopsticks, a hand fell on the back of her hand. She didn't even raise her head as she looked back at the book.

"Poison This King?" The person beside him opened his mouth abruptly.

Gu Liuyan's movements froze for a moment. When she turned around, Duan Chengxuan was sitting by her side. His body was still stained with the smell of dirt, as if he had just returned from outside the city with an almost imperceptible smell of blood.

As a doctor, Gu Liuyan directly opened up his slightly torn shirt, exposing all the small bloody wounds on it.

Duan Chengxuan was also shocked by her actions, and Qi Lin on the other side did not dare to breathe too loudly. Duan Chengyu stared at them blankly, as if he had thought of something.

"Are you here to test my poison?" Gu Liuyan's hand quickly fell on his wrist.

She hadn't been poisoned at all. She suddenly recalled that she had wondered if he had been poisoned before, which was why he was so capricious. Now, everything seemed normal.

Duan Chengxuan pulled her hand down. "They're only a few prisoners."

"Oh." Gu Liuyan returned her gaze to the medical manual. Looking at the manual, she could only concentrate on remembering it. She had to go back to the house and practice a few times before she could remember it.

Duan Chengxuan raised an eyebrow, while Duan Chengyu on the other side could only shrug his shoulders. "We're just afraid that she won't be able to go out in the Medicine Hall every day, so we came out to do evil."

"Does she do nothing but read books every day?" Duan Chengxuan couldn't help himself from asking.

"And eating." Duan Chengyu helplessly replied, then he looked at Duan Chengxuan. "Imperial Uncle, is there something …"

"Have you forgotten about tomorrow night's banquet?" Duan Chengxuan looked at him with a gloomy expression.

Only now did Duan Chengyu remember that tomorrow would be the Empress's birthday banquet, and the Imperial Palace would definitely hold a grand banquet for them. Now that he was looking at Gu Danyan, who was engrossed in his books, he felt a headache coming on.

He had actually brought along the princess who was supposed to be testing her out on the day before the palace banquet!

After a while, Gu Danyan had already leisurely stood up and was walking out with the medical book in his arms. As if he was preparing to go back, Duan Chengxuan quickly grabbed hold of her, threw down the silver taels, and forcefully brought her away.

"What the hell are you doing!" Gu Daiyan's shout came from downstairs.

Qi Lin looked at the horse carriage leaving with an embarrassed expression. He saw Duan Chengyu's face darken and he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"I think that Imperial Uncle might have really been tempted." Duan Chengyu frowned as Qi Lin covered his ears, pretending that he did not hear the royal family's secret.

Gu Danyan had been taken to the palace and tried on a set of tedious clothes before finally learning that she would be attending a banquet tomorrow night. Facing this matter, the only thing she could say was, "Wasting time."

Duan Chengxuan, who was at the entrance, only left with Cheng Shan after he heard what was said.

"Prince, the wangfei has always been in the same group as the medical books. She's always been polite to the imperial palace …"

"This King will protect you." Duan Chengxuan glanced at the medical manual in his hands, then passed it to Cheng Shan. "Return the letter to the wangfei. Tomorrow, we'll invite the Misty Rain Pavilion's second young miss to dress up for the wangfei."

Duan Chengxuan's figure quickly disappeared from the study after turning around the corner.

Not far away, Gu Zixian saw everything, and when he heard it, she tightly clenched her skirt, gritting her teeth: "It's been a few days since Su Yuwan spoke up for me, she just told me to come and find trouble for Gu Liuyan."

Lan immediately blocked the excited Gu Zixian, his eyes dark.

"Miss, do not be angry. After the palace feast, the prince will bring the fourth prince to the water stronghold. At that time, who can say for sure about the matters in this mansion."
