Duan Chengxuan ignored the smoke and dust in front of him as he scuttled into the smoke and dust by himself. Duan Chengye was not inferior to him in any way.
Gu Liuyan could not help but cough a few times. He only put the pill into his mouth. The back of his hand was slightly hurting. He must have made a mistake about the amount of gunpowder inside.
Duan Chengyu, who was below, quickly lifted himself up and pulled Gu Daiyan up from the ground, protecting her behind to prevent more attacks.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, just stuffed a pill into his mouth and dragged him away.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the path ahead could not be seen clearly.
They fiercely crashed into each other, but fortunately, a hand pulled Gu Mingyan back, and before she could clearly see what happened, the person before her had already dragged her away. Only after leaving the dust cloud did she see the black face of Duan Chengxuan, and she felt it was somewhat funny.
Duan Cheng Xuan noticed with a glance that the back of her hand was red, and a corner of her skirt was burnt. Perhaps she had stepped over it just now, so at least she didn't ignite a flame.
"Are you alright?" The few people beside him still wanted to go into the smoke and dust of the scene, but Gu Pingyan only threw a jade bottle over, wiped his face, then bent down to take Duan Chengyu's pulse. Only then did he raise his head to look at Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Chengxuan frowned as he asked Chengshan to bring him to the Hall of Relief.
And at this time, Third Prince Duan Chengrui had even brought along the people from the restaurant to hurry over. Litchi Bay didn't see Duan Chengyu, so he only hurried over to Duan Chengxuan's side to inquire, and his eyes were red with anger. "Prince …" "The fourth prince, he …"
With a wave of his hand, ghost had already rushed out of the smoke and dust, and was about to bring Litchi Bay to the Hall of Relief.
Chang Yi Qin was frightened out of her wits, only Yue Qing and Qi Rou were slightly panicking. When Qi Rou saw Gu Pingyan, she walked up to him and asked him about it. However, she ignored him.
Duan Chengxuan only watched as he ordered the Sixth Prince to be brought out from the smoke and dust.
The few of them regrouped, the two princes and an imperial concubine were involved in this matter, so Gu Danyan naturally didn't want to stay any longer. She only touched the back of Qi Rou's hand and said in a low voice: "I'll go back to the medicine house first."
"I'll go with you. Little Lin, you come too." Qi Rou walked over and grabbed Qi Lin.
"Fairy." Gu Daiyan discovered something. He called for the brothel and left in a hurry. The Sixth Prince wanted to follow, but Duan Chengxuan stopped him, "The matter of the mirage has been handed over to you, your Imperial Majesty."
"Yan'Er is injured." Duan Chengye instantly became nervous. He originally thought that as long as he finished off the remnants of the Mirage Faction early on, Gu Liuyan wouldn't be in danger. But now, it seemed like he had made a mistake.
"The big picture is the most important." Duan Cheng Xuan left behind this warning before leaving in a hurry.
Duan Chengye's gaze was cold as he stood on the spot. He only instructed his men to wait for the smoke and dust to disperse before taking care of everyone.
In the medicine house, Gu Danyan did not pay any attention to the burnt ends of her skirt as she listened to Qi Rou recount everything that had happened upstairs. In the end, she said in a low voice, "When Young Master Gu found the two groups of people that were ambushing us, he went alone to chase them. I told him that if he could not find them later, he would come back immediately."
Gu Liuyan nodded seriously. She had indeed not seen Gu Yan just now.
Qi Lin, on the other hand, was confused and could only wonder, "Why do you have so many enemies?"
"I had originally thought that if this matter was all done by the Mirage, then I would be able to confirm that Su Yuwan and the Mirage were secretly dealing with each other." Gu Daiyan lowered her eyes, telling Qing Shui about how she had been inexplicably stopped and also about her analysis of Qing Dai.
"But now there are two groups of people. We can't say that Su Yuwan is able to contact the Mirage." Only then did Qi Lin understand.
After a while, the doors to the medicine house were pushed open. Gu Yan was panting as he walked in, indicating that he would not be able to follow them once he entered the forest.
The few of them gathered together, rejoicing that none of them were injured.
Gu Danyan rubbed the rim of her cup with her fingers. She thought for a moment, if Su Yuwan had a grudge with Mirage while the other group had a grudge with the Fourth Prince, it would make sense. However, with Gu Yan and Qi Rou in front of her, she didn't dare to tell them.
The sound of hooves gradually approached.
Gu Danyan looked up and saw Duan Chengxuan dismount from his horse and walk over. The people beside him all stood up to salute her, but she only stood up to look at him. "Your highness, you shouldn't have taken care of matters at the market? Fire and thunder can be big or small. "
"Let's not talk about the fire and thunder earlier." Duan Chengxuan walked with large strides to her side. "Sixth Prince treats you …"
"Sincerely." He looked at him with her eyes: "The prince should be more concerned about the overall situation. Just now when the third prince was there, Qi Rou was not in a position to speak, and just now we were discussing, that group of people did not seem to be a group, perhaps their goal was the fourth prince, did he have any enemies in the recent days?"
"If we're talking about enemies, the only one left would be Sixth Prince Duan Chengye." Duan Cheng Xuan's gaze turned cold as well.
Gu Danyan froze for a second.
If Duan Chengye wanted to inherit the throne, among his previous brothers, there was only one useful enemy, and that was Duan Chengyu, who also had a battle achievement. Not to mention that Duan Chengyu had Duan Chengxuan behind him.
Now that he thought about it, even if Duan Chengye wanted the Fourth Prince to die, it wouldn't be impossible.
Only the other people were sent and only the two of them were left standing in the courtyard. Only then did he ruthlessly grasp her wrist, "You believe too much in the Sixth Prince. To think that someone as intelligent as you actually didn't suspect him in the slightest."
Gu Danyan hesitated for a second and looked straight into his eyes: "I do believe him."
"Just because he's fallen for you?" Duan Chengxuan's strength couldn't help but increase. It seemed like the promise yesterday, today's respect was like a dream.
Gu Danyan was in pain, but he refused to give in: "Because he was the only one who gave me a knife, and it was only because I liked him."
As she spoke, she took out the exquisite dagger.
Originally, she wanted to use it to defend herself, but in the end, she couldn't bear to do so. She could only take the risk and blow up the bottle of Flexible Muscle Powder.
Upon hearing these words, Duan Chengxuan became even angrier, but Gu Pingyan was prepared to welcome him with his anger. Unexpectedly, he only let go and held her hand to look at the back of his hand: "You're not going to treat your wounds."
"Aren't you angry?" Gu Liuyan was surprised.
"You were only angry that I gave you a set of silver needles, and that you gave it to Yun Qingyang for an excuse." Duan Cheng Xuan glanced at the needle bag on her waist.
"You saw, then, that I did not give it to my grandfather, but did not ask me for it." Gu Mingyan's heart was like a drum, filled with a guilty conscience. She was still a bit conflicted, yet she still continued to ask, "At that time, you already had feelings for me, didn't you?"
Duan Chengxuan didn't say anything and only caressed her face with his fingers. "You're already mine now anyway."
