Phoenix Cry Garden had been released from confinement.
The first person to visit was Gu Zixian.
She was dressed in a long blue dress, and her face was already beautiful even though there was only a tiny bit of makeup on it.
Gu Liuyan looked at things carefully today. Gu Zixian was like his mother, with a pair of enchanting eyes. He was not as charming as Madam Gu, who was not tall and straight, but also had a dignified look in her eyes.
If she didn't say anything, she would be a beauty.
"I didn't expect that my sister would always be able to escape unscathed, and even obtain the favor of the prince." Gu Zixian glared with his beautiful eyes, and the last bit of dignity was gone.
Gu Danyan helplessly put down the tools in his hand and said in a low voice: "Why did you come here?"
"Sister is here to visit sister, is it too much for you?" Gu Zixian waved his hand, and Alan, who was behind him, had already placed two brocade boxes in front of Gu Daiyan: "These two brocade boxes were left behind by sister's birth mother."
Fairy Qingmei's face darkened, but Lan opened it with a smile. Inside a brocade box was a precious jade hairpin, and inside a brocade box was a complicated looking copper mirror. The mirror had been broken since time immemorial.
Gu Daiyan walked to the table. Before his fingertips could touch the hairpin, Alan had already opened some of the box.
"What does that mean?" Gu Danyan chuckled and stopped.
"Of course it's to make a deal. When I came to the palace, I had never served the prince, so I just wanted to ask my elder sister to help me out with a few words. It shouldn't be difficult, right?" Gu Zixian seemed to be holding back his laughter, as if he found the action of Gu Liuyan's hand reaching out just now laughable.
Qing Dai took a few steps forward, but Gu Daiyan stopped her with a smile. She raised her chin and said, "What little sister said is reasonable."
"Then wait until I serve Your Highness …"
"I should make a deal with my father as well. I will exchange my position for all of my mother's things." However, Gu Liuyan interrupted her and sat down in front of Gu Zixian with a smile: "This shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"
Gu Zixian slammed the table and stood up, he was angered to the point that his face turned green and white.
Lan, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward to block Gu Zixian's path. "Princess, you're joking. How could a mere official's position be so easily obtained?"
"That's a good offer." Gu Daiyan shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand: "Qing Di, you can only leave behind my mother's things."
"Gu Liuyan, don't you go too far!" Seeing that Qing Dai was about to come to get the boxes, Gu Zixian quickly took the two brocade boxes into his arms.
"Those were things that belonged to my birth mother. You took them for your own. That is the true way of bullying others." Gu Tzu Yan rubbed her forehead with a headache. She was researching the unusable recipes Qi Rou had sent her and did not want to continue talking to Gu Zi Jiu.
Gu Zixian wanted to stop him, but Alan thought of the current situation and could only hand over the embroidered box.
After leaving Phoenix Cry Garden, Alan continued, "Princess is becoming more and more arrogant. Miss, you can't offend her. You might as well continue staying in seclusion. Anyway, you've already entered the palace, and you still have a lot of time left."
"Just how long am I going to hibernate? His Highness hasn't even taken the initiative to look at me." Gu Zixian gripped the handkerchief tightly.
"One mountain doesn't allow two tigers. Young miss might as well wait until both Miss Su and the wangfei are injured before acting." Alain tightened his grip on Gu Zixian's wrist, and although Gu Zixian was unhappy, he restrained himself.
And in Phoenix Cry Garden, Gu Pingyan only asked Qing Dai to keep the two boxes properly and then went back to look at the prescription.
Just as Gu Zi Wu left, Duan Chengyu came over with Litchi Bay. This time, Gu Daiyan could only put down what he was doing and only recounted the incident where Duan Chengyu came in drunk.
Duan Chengyu scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's just that you're very similar to Imperial Sis in the first place."
"You actually think of me as an older sister. No wonder you wanted me to pay after eating the Overlord Dinner." Gu Daiyan smiled, took some rouge and powdered water and passed it to Litchi. "Second Miss Qi sent too many, I don't usually use too much, but Litchi Bay should dress up more."
"Thank you, wangfei." Litchi Bay smiled sweetly.
Gu Daiyan casually greeted the two of them, then heard Duan Chengyu speak up. "Qi Lin heard that you've been released from your confinement and gone to the Hundred Flavors Restaurant to order table food. Shouldn't you be giving a proper explanation?"
"Of course. I'll pack up my things first. Remember to call for Qi Rou when the time comes." Gu Danyan nodded in agreement and hurried back to the table to continue messing around.
Duan Chengyu nodded and left with Litchi Bay.
Cheng Shan had reported this matter to Duan Chengxuan not too long after, but Duan Chengxuan only said, "In the future, if wangfei wants to do anything, send someone to serve her."
"Looks like the prince really came this time." Commander Xiao chuckled softly. The Tong Zhou boat beside him found this strange. "Isn't it normal for the wangfei and prince to be like this?"
Xiao Hai only smiled, but didn't say anything.
However, when the sun reached the middle of the sky, the few of them had already gathered in the Hundred Taste Tower.
Gu Yan helplessly held the red dates in his arms. The Qi Ruo and Qi Lin were discussing about the Misty Rain Pavilion, and would occasionally exchange toasts with Duan Chengyu. Only Litchi Bay was left alone, and they felt like outsiders.
"Third Prince, why have you come?" The waiter quickly opened his mouth.
Duan Chengyu's movements halted as he turned his head and saw Duan Chengrui bringing along Chang Yiqin and Yue Qing in. He hurriedly greeted them and sat down at a large table, while Qi Lin, who was unafraid of death, pushed his wine cup over and said, "Today, I've come for the princess' release of her confinement."
Duan Chengrui only smiled and nodded. Chang Yiqin pouted instead. "What does Princess Jing have to do with us?"
"Madam." Yue Qing only called out softly, but Chang Yiqin's expression turned even worse.
Fortunately, Qi Rou knew how to deal with these people, but they soon became a topic of conversation.
"Why isn't elder sister here yet?" Gu Yan finally calmed down the red dates in his bosom with much difficulty before he opened his mouth to ask.
Just as he finished speaking, the expressions of the few men instantly changed. Only the sound of breaking air could be heard, and a few of them pulled the people beside them under the table. Duan Chengyu directly threw Litchi Bay to the side of Gu Yan, and his shoulder was forcefully sliced.
More than ten black-clothed men descended from the sky, and the nearby guests scattered in all directions. Duan Chengrui was only able to hold onto the bodies of the two madams beside him. Only Duan Chengyu took his saber and charged forward to engage in battle.
Qi Lin quickly carried Qi Rou and rolled to the side of the stairs. Qi Rou saw that there were quite a number of wounds on Duan Chengyu's body, and those few black-clothed men obviously came for the Fourth Prince. She immediately pulled Qi Lin up and stood up, "Why are you still blocking them!? Quickly go and call for people, their goal is the Fourth Prince! "
"Ah …" "Yes!" Qi Lin didn't dare to leave Qi Rou behind and quickly pulled her down the stairs. He called Gu Yan to take a good look before hurrying downstairs.
Saber lights and sword shadows, Duan Chengyu was barely able to withstand the person before him and his face sank. "Who actually sent you here!?"
