The smell of blood on the battlefield was faint, but it was mostly the smell of yellow sand.

And now, the stinky stench of blood was churning in Duan Chengyu's stomach. He could only watch helplessly as blood continuously dripped from his slender white wrist as he was stopped by Duan Chengxuan.

Mu Qing was afraid that the blood would solidify before it even fell, so he expanded the wound again and again. He even used his nails to squeeze it, just so that the sound of the blood dropping would be faster.

One drop, two drops.

"Royal Uncle! "You're crazy!" Duan Chengyu tried his best to resist the urge to vomit and shouted. He wanted to push away Duan Chengxuan who was standing in his way, but he was stopped by one of Cheng Shan's arms.

"Sixth Prince, please calm down." Cheng Shan spoke with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

"She's your wangfei, and she usually needs to eat tonic to replenish her blood. Are you sure you don't take her life?" Duan Chengyu twisted and turned unwillingly, but he would only let more people restrain him. He growled, "Although the Royal Uncle I know is decisive in killing, he would definitely not use the human blood of the people by his side as a medicinal catalyst!"

"I even used her heart blood." Duan Chengxuan said indifferently.

Duan Chengyu couldn't see Duan Chengxuan's expression clearly, but he felt as if he was in an icehouse, ice-cold to the bone.

Mu Qing, who was supposed to be a kind-hearted doctor, filled a jade bottle after a bowl of blood. Then, he applied the medicinal herb to it and asked the ghost to help him bandage it, "My lord, I'll go make some medicine for Lady Wan-Er."

Duan Chengxuan nodded slightly, and Cheng Shan behind him directly let go of Duan Chengyu.

Duan Chengyu directly rushed up and only saw that after he had finished bandaging her wounds and saw her pale face, he only dared to gently lift her up a little.

"You like her?" Duan Cheng Xuan looked at him.

"I like her the same way I like my royal sister!" Duan Chengyu pulled her into his embrace and fiercely glared at her, "How dare you do such a thing for Su Yu Wan! Don't tell me you've forgotten about your royal sister, the one who helped you solve your problems! What happened in the end!? "

That was a painful memory, and even Duan Chengxuan revealed a painful expression that was hard to come by.

"She died because of Su Yuwan! I still remember. That's why I respected Su Yu Wan, because her life was exchanged with royal sister's. Now, do you still want her to become the next royal sister?! " Duan Chengyu's eyes were bloodshot, memories of the past were still fresh in his mind.

His royal sister, Duan Ling'er, was born blind and couldn't be seen. Whenhe was young, she went to the sect to recuperate for a period of time with Duan Chengxuan, and later helped her block a blade strike the night Su Yu Wan was assassinated.

From that day onwards, Duan Chengyu knew that Su Yu Wan's life was in exchange for his own sister's, which was why he respected Su Yu Wan at every turn. But now, he didn't want to respect Su Yu Wan at all.

"Do you still remember what Imperial Concubine said before she died …"

The pain on Duan Chengxuan's face faded, and he only looked at Duan Chengyu. "Take good care of her."

As he spoke, he quickly left, leaving behind only Duan Chengyu to carry Gu Danyan and send him to the bed. The sky outside was getting darker, just like the day when Duan Ling'er died.

Duan Chengyu still remembered that Duan Ling Tian could only hold onto his hand that day, and her last sentence was faintly discernable: "Life is more precious than anything."

Duan Ling Tian knew that Duan Ling'er wouldn't regret saving Su Yu Wan.

But now, Gu Danyan was lying on the sickbed with a weak aura, while the only person in the courtyard, Mu Qing, had long gone to Su Yuwan's main courtyard. Duan Chengxuan had left her alone in the Phoenix Cry Courtyard.

"Ghostly spirit, go to the Hall of Relief and invite old mister He Ji. Get Qing Dai to come back as well." Duan Chengyu's face was gloomy as he gave the order. He then looked at the person on the bed and decided to leave his duty once, so it was no big deal.

It was just that Gu Liuyan's hands were terrifyingly cold.

Duan Chengyu recalled how she was giggling as he held the red jujube and silver ear lotus seed soup, saying that it could nourish one's face and blood, moreover it was Duan Chengyu's favorite. So they would go to the restaurant every day to buy it, and only after that did he hear that he had prepared quite a few supplements for him.

It was because she knew that she didn't have much time left, so she couldn't afford to stop for a moment to rest.

When He Jin arrived, he was startled, and the usually calm and composed Qing Dai panicked. She immediately went to work for He Jin.

Even so, Gu Meiyan still had a high fever. He had stayed in the mansion for two days to treat her illness before he had finally managed to pull her back, yet Duan Chengxuan had never stepped foot into Phoenix Cry Garden from start to finish.

Duan Chengyu also found out from the servants in the mansion, "Your highness has always been at Miss Su's place, not moving an inch away from her."

Duan Chengyu ignored her. When they returned to the courtyard, Gu Daiyan was already sitting on the bed leaning against the pillow. Her face was still pale, and Qing Dai was feeding her medicine mouthful by mouthful.

"So bitter." Gu Liu Yan turned her head away in disgust. However, Qing Dai grabbed her and shoved her into her mouth, "You are a doctor yourself, young lady." "Why are you still afraid of this?"

He saw Duan Chengyu standing by the door, and his body stiffened a little. He and Duan Chengxuan were somewhat similar, but after a while, he reacted and raised a smiling face at him: "I heard that you were the one who called Old mister He over?"

"Right." Duan Chengyu walked in and pulled a chair over to sit by the bed: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Previously, when Old mister He left, he said that you didn't care about your body and you were taken so much blood before falling ill."

Gu Liuyan laughed dryly a few times. Her wrist, which had been cut off to draw blood, was still shaking slightly. She hid her arm: "It's nothing, I'm already used to it. I'll take good care of myself once I'm done with the trouble."

After Duan Chengyu and Qing Dai asked some more questions, Gu Daiyan replied with a smile and chased the two out without a care in the world: "Don't talk about me anymore. If you want to blame someone, blame your highness, I'm going to sleep."

The two could only helplessly leave.

When it was quiet at night, Gu Danyan got up in the dark. She lit the candle by the window and returned to her bed. Her right hand held the weak left hand as her body trembled. Cold sweat soaked her clothes.

That sort of drowsy feeling made him feel as if he was about to die.

However, no one knew that the prince, who was originally accompanying Su Yu Wan in the main courtyard, was currently standing outside Phoenix Cry Garden. He was pressed up against the wall and could only hear the inaudible sound of sobbing coming from the room.

Gu Liuyan was afraid of death, more afraid than anyone else.

"Seriously, how could there be tears." She frantically wiped away the tears on her face. She didn't notice that a black shadow had quietly left.

But she knew that tears were the most useless thing.
