"Looks like I'm just your next choice."
It had only been a few days and she was already so thin, not to mention that she normally did not like rouge or cosmetics, nor did she even care about her appearance. Looking at her now, her face was even paler and her hair was in disarray, causing people to feel tender towards her.
However, Gu Liuyan did not seem to be aware of it. Instead, he leaned against the desk and chuckled: "Then I will still choose you, so you came here to tell me this?"
"I want to know what else you know."
With a slight raise of his brows, Gu Daiyan crossed his arms and looked at him, "I also know that you're not a warm person like you seem to be. Since the time of the poison, Duan Chengyu seems to have seen you once.
"How do you know everything?" Duan Chengrui only poured himself a cup of tea as his gaze roamed around the room from time to time. Most of the ingredients here were medical books, and the entire room was filled with the smell of bitter medicinal herbs.
Gu Danyan waited for him to finish looking over everything before he continued, "I was just trying to trick you, I didn't expect it to be you."
He had already stood up from his seat, and walked to Gu Danyan's side to hold her wrist, and pulled her in front of him: "You're just too smart, and caused Royal Uncle and I to have no choice but to be wary of you, yet not even the slightest bit of feelings towards you."
Gu Danyan panicked and looked strangely at Duan Chengrui, "What relationship? We've only met a few times. "
"Enough." In his eyes, Gu Yan was as precious as a priceless treasure. Moreover, even though she was so lovable, he didn't know how Duan Chengxuan mistreated her, so he approached her step by step, "According to Duan Chengxuan's character towards Su Yuwan, he definitely hasn't touched you yet."
"You really do know him." Gu Daiyan held up his hand to stop him.
"He's such a bastard. How could he bear to kill you?" Duan Chengrui heaved a long sigh.
"Because he only has eyes for Su Yuwan's life. Moreover, I don't like you and Duan Chengxuan in the slightest. I'm more inclined towards the Sixth Prince, so please take care of yourself." Gu Liuyan simply pushed him away a little. Her small arm was still trembling slightly, but she did not notice it herself. Only Duan Chengrui noticed her trembling.
"The Sixth Prince is even more like a wild dog than Duan Chengxuan."
"At least he's never been wild in front of me." Gu Danyan once again patted the clothes on his shoulders and said, "Whereas you and Duan Chengxuan both eat people without spitting out their bones. I'm only helping you, I'm not planning on putting myself in there."
"You really dare to put yourself in front of me. Are you not afraid that I'll directly kill you?" This time, Duan Chengrui did not approach. He was only alarmed to realize that the rumors that the Sixth Prince and the Crown Princess were on good terms were not groundless rumors, and he also felt a trace of displeasure in his heart.
After receiving this threat, Gu Daiyan's smile became even wider. "Then you won't be able to get an answer from me. You'll forever be able to follow behind Duan Chengxuan."
They looked at each other, and the corners of Gu Danyan's eyes were filled with a confident smile. He could only make Duan Chengrui lose as well, and helplessly said: "You are right, I don't dare to touch you. I've come here today to ask you, have I succeeded in instigating the relationship between the Fourth Prince and Duan Chengxuan? "
"Duan Chengyu doesn't want to fight for the throne." Gu Daiyan frowned. She didn't want to involve Duan Chengyu in the battle between Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengrui.
"I won't hurt him, but the Sixth Prince …"
"I'll help him too, as long as it's what he wants." Gu Liuyan sat on the edge of the bed, tense and nervous. She nervously held the soft cloth under her hand.
Why?
Duan Chengrui really wanted to directly blurt it out, but his reason told him that he could not reveal his feelings too quickly. Instead, he would be tightly eaten by Gu Pingyan and he could only lightly cough: "Even the throne?"
"Of course." Gu Liuyan nodded seriously. She didn't seem to care at all about telling Duan Chengrui about his goal. Furthermore, she continued: "You don't know how important he is to me."
"You don't have much to do with him." Duan Chengrui was still unable to see through Gu Meiyan: "Since you told me about this matter, aren't you afraid that I won't believe you in the future?"
Gu Liuyan did not continue to answer his question. She was like a stubborn rock sitting on the edge of the bed, and no one knew what she was thinking under her smiling face. Duan Chengrui also clearly knew that it was impossible for him to get any answers, so he could only leave late at night.
The window opened, and a gust of wind blew in, waking Gu Daiyan up.
Of course, only Duan Chengye was unique to her.
No one would know that she was afraid of the dark, just as no one would know that she wanted someone to be with her.
It was only when the voice of the husband came from outside the courtyard that she suddenly stood up and closed the window. She laid back on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
She had the value to topple Duan Chengxuan. Even if he were to admit his position today, Duan Chengrui would not easily give up on this partner of his.
She fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up the next day, she received a message — Third Prince had invited Duan Chengyu and Litchi Bay to the mansion.
"Which side is the fourth prince standing on?" On the other hand, Qi Lin was very concerned about this matter.
"He's always been neutral. It's nothing." Gu Danyan waved her hand as she faced a room full of herbs. She hesitated. If she was going to Ling Nan Yun's house, what should she bring with her?
While she was at a loss over this, Yin Qiufu and Yun Fu hastily rushed in.
"What happened?" Gu Danyan turned around.
"Just now, when the fourth prince was leaving the palace, he bumped into Lady Wan-Er! "Lady Wan-Er's head was smashed, and now that the prince is going to fight with the fourth prince, you should quickly go and take a look!" Yin Gou quickly grabbed her and headed outside.
"Miss, you can't go. If you interfere in the matter between their uncle and nephew at this moment, it will only make Prince hate you even more." However, she had a different opinion.
Stopping in her tracks, she shook her head after some hesitation. "The Fourth Prince treats me well. I need to go and take a look."
Qing Dai let out a long sigh, gritted her teeth and followed.
He was in a miserable state and Duan Chengxuan's face was slightly injured, but right now, his face was dark and he held a long blade in his hand with an aggressive manner, "You don't know the severity of the situation! Is this how This King usually teaches you!? "
"Then wouldn't you be indulging Su Yu Wan? She would only dare to harm me! If she were to lie on my body, Royal Uncle, would you also want to kill me?! " Duan Chengyu spat out a mouthful of blood and didn't lower his voice.
"How dare you!" Duan Chengxuan walked up with his saber.
