Gu Liuyan wordlessly carried the few young kids and ran out. He put them in a safe place and then returned. Seeing this, Duan Chengyu and Duan Chengye hurriedly rushed over and carried the remaining ten or so children out into the woods.
From the start to the end, Duan Chengxuan had only ordered his men to capture those traffickers.
It was only when all the children had already left that Gu Daiyan finally gave the first one who woke up a light hug while trembling. She tried to confirm: "Is there anything wrong …" Does your body hurt? Are you hurt? "
The child in her arms wailed loudly, but he continued to hug her and call her mother.
Gu Xuan carefully held the child in her arms until Duan Cheng Xuan walked to her side and gave the child to the soldier beside her. She pulled her up and glared at her. "Why are you out so late?"
"I came to see how a dignified general like you would use a bewitching incense on a child! That's what I gave you to deal with the enemy! And they are only children! " Gu Daiyan turned around and grabbed Duan Chenxuan's sleeve.
Her good intentions had now been stepped on by Duan Chengxuan.
The anger she had accumulated surged in an instant. With bloodshot eyes, she pushed him against the stone wall beside her. The soldiers beside her all took a step forward but did not dare to move.
Since ancient times, even Su Yu Wan didn't dare do this to Duan Cheng Xuan!
"This is the fastest solution."
"But there is a better solution! Each and every one of them is a human being, just like you! " Gu Danyan smashed his chest and then covered his entire palm with his palm: "They are all alive, just like you."
Duan Chengxuan grabbed her wrist. "But they are only the children of the poor!"
"Pa ~ ~"
Gu Danyan's other hand gave him a resounding slap on the face. When Duan Chengyu saw the gloomy expression on Duan Chengxuan's face, he quickly pulled Gu Danyan down, but she didn't let him off and was about to step forward: "Navy Tide is made up of these people! Not only are there rich families like you, but poor families as well! You used what I gave you to deal with the children! "
"Princess!" It's not what you think … " Duan Chengyu tightly held onto her waist, unable to let her continue to anger Duan Chengxuan. If that was the case, then Duan Chengxuan would do something that he could not predict to her.
"I was wrong." Duan Chengxuan wiped the corner of his mouth, then walked up to Gu Danyan's side and grabbed her. In that instant, the tears in Gu Danyan's eyes fell, and she fiercely punched his chest. Duan Chengxuan only frowned as he said, "The spy from earlier was not permitted by me."
"Then why didn't you take good care of your subordinates!" Gu Liuyan could not help but shed tears: "Those are all children, he …" "How could he do that?"
Duan Chengxuan sighed softly. He had practically never seen Gu Danyan cry before, so all he could do was push her fiercely into his embrace to prevent others from seeing her tears.
Only Duan Chengye, who was at the side, clenched his fist tightly.
He could feel that Gu Danyan treated them differently, and Duan Chengxuan didn't treat Gu Danyan badly like the rumors had said.
On the other side, he could only gloomily lead Gu Danyan to the side, and Gu Pingyan, who was still in his embrace, was still crying quietly for the children he didn't know. This was the first time Duan Chengxuan had discovered that a woman's cry could actually move him to such an extent.
"Why are you here?" After a while, Gu Liuyan raised her head and looked at him with red eyes: "Aren't you supposed to be in the water stronghold?"
"I heard that you had an affair with the Sixth Prince. On the way, one of my men came to report that he had found the place where the traffickers were, so he took the chance to make a trip. " Duan Chengxuan let her go a little bit more. Upon recalling that Su Yu Wan was the one who told him this news, he calmed down and his gaze descended upon Duan Chengye, who was already following behind her.
Duan Chengye looked at his Imperial Uncle with a similar gaze as he chuckled, "I didn't expect that others would say that I'm the Little Jing King. Now it seems that our eyes are quite similar when looking at women."
Gu Danyan wiped away the tears on his face. Before he could say anything to remind Duan Chengye not to spout nonsense, Duan Chengxuan had already pulled him back into his embrace. "You dare to snatch this king's men?"
"I don't dare, but I can wait." Duan Chengye stood there without backing down, "Yan'Er will never be your dog. As long as Royal Uncle doesn't treat him well, I will spare no effort to defeat you and snatch Yan'Er back."
"Let's wait and see." Duan Cheng Xuan sneered, then embraced Gu Xuan Yan's waist. "But now, she's mine."
Duan Chengye wished he could tear the person in front of him apart.
Before Gu Danyan could say anything, Duan Chengxuan had already thrown her onto the horse's back without a care and pulled her into his embrace. He instructed Duan Chengyu to stay behind and clean up the mess before bringing her along with him.
"Stay away from the Sixth Prince in the future."
"Don't forget that we're just cooperating with each other. I like that kid." At the very least, talking to Duan Chengye would be much more comfortable.
"But you are still my consort."
"If no one treats me as an imperial concubine, you can say it a few more times! I am currently infuriated by what happened just now, so don't force me to feed you the poison directly! " Gu Danyan turned his head around and glared at him fiercely.
Right now, she was like a clap of thunder that could ignite any moment.
As far as Duan Chengxuan was concerned, he would never shed a single tear for those people he didn't know, and even more so, he wouldn't go into a rage because of this matter.
It was as if every time he saw Gu Danyan's different side, he would be subconsciously attracted by it.
Thus, he could only silently slow down and bring them back to the manor.
Gu Liuyan had already calmed down a lot. She got down from the horse and turned around to look at him, only to discover that the corner of Duan Chengxuan's mouth had been cut open by her finger. Thinking of her earlier temper, she sighed, then took out a bottle of medicine from her waist pouch and stuffed it into his hands.
"You slapped This King." When Duan Chengxuan held the medicine bottle, he took the opportunity to hold her hand.
"I can apologize." Only now did Gu Danyan recall that Duan Chengxuan wasn't a person with a good temper.
"You went out with the Sixth Prince at night." Duan Chengxuan pulled her to his side. "Pay attention to your identity."
"I only see him as my younger brother. Moreover, I really want to go save those children." Gu Danyan looked at him stubbornly, feeling her anger rise up again. She took a few deep breaths and resisted the urge to go up and talk sense to him, then took a step forward: "You should know, that's all. As for the rest, they have all disappeared after the second time you kissed me."
Gu Liuyan let out a long breath and waved at him: "It's not bad to have someone waiting for me to leave you."
Duan Chengxuan's entire body was tense, and he had to restrain himself from pressing her down.
