The finger on his cheek had a thick layer of calluses on it, and it was warm and wide.

Now that Duan Chengxuan was being honest with his, she might not be able to do it. Ever since the Sixth Prince Duan Chengye appeared and the knife was placed in his hand, she was destined to not be able to continue trusting Duan Chengxuan.

However, she still attached the back of Duan Chengxuan's hand as she half-closed her eyes. "Your highness, rather than saying good words to me here, why don't you resolve this matter? Moreover, warmth isn't suitable for you and me."

"That's true." Duan Chengxuan's fingertip brushed past her earlobes, and he only reluctantly left after brushing off a few strands of hair.

Gu Danyan only watched Duan Cheng Xuan leave and knew that he should investigate the backgrounds of these two groups of people.

After Duan Chengxuan left, he actually didn't come in. He could only jump up and down to find the red jujube on the shelf, which was napping, and rub it into his bosom. As expected, he obtained a few sounds of meowing unhappily.

She rubbed his gray hair and chuckled, "This knife can actually be called lotus seed soup."

These three items were all sincerely gifted to her by others.

And Duan Chengye was her light. If one were to talk about struggling in the mud with Duan Chengxuan earlier, after seeing the light, he would not be willing to throw himself into the darkness. She did not want to continue being Su Yu Wan's victim.

"However, the name 'Lotus Seed Soup' is a bit strange. Let's just call it Little Lian." She lightly touched the red date's tail and it hooted as it jumped out. She chuckled a few times and decided not to stay there any longer.

Duan Chengyu would never call the Third Prince here, could it really be a coincidence that he met him today?

She didn't believe in coincidences.

The others probably didn't want to disturb the intimacy between her and Duan Chengxuan, so they left early. As she left, she changed into a new set of clothes from the medicine house and put on a dark cloak to cover her head before directly arriving at the Third Prince's manor.

A few servants stopped her and she only passed a jade bottle over to the servant. However, after a while, Duan Chengrui walked out wearing embroidered white clothes, and he saw that she had only brought her to an obviously unused courtyard that was covered in dust everywhere.

However, he just stood there with his hands behind his back, watching Gu Daiyan pull off his cloak.

"You are quite bold. If you are discovered by my royal uncle, the only road for us is death."

"Even a coward like a mouse cannot accomplish great things. Is the other group of people you sent today? "What is your purpose?" Gu Danyan went straight to the point and took back the jade bottle in his hand.

"You think it's me?" Duan Chengrui took a step forward.

"There aren't so many coincidences in the world." Gu Danyan looked at him seriously.

"But it's a coincidence." Duan Chengrui shook his head helplessly. He only took out a stone concealed weapon from his pocket and passed it onto Gu Daiyan's hands: "That group of people were extremely careful, and directly sneaked into it and headed towards the Fourth Prince. You can guess who raised the mirage without anyone knowing."

What could a stone prove? However, Gu Liuyan did not feel that Duan Chengrui was lying.

"You mean that someone of high position and authority is raising a mirage?" Gu Danyan played around with the stone in his hand. It seemed that the person on the other side was prepared to attack: "But this time, he has no plans."

"But as long as everyone thinks that it was the people from the Mirage that did it, then it's fine. These two groups of people's goal is the fourth prince, but their real goal might not be the fourth prince." What Duan Chengrui said was half true and half false, and he looked at Gu Liuyan with interest.

Gu Danyan thought for a moment and somewhat understood what Duan Chenrui meant.

The Mirage was so audacious. It made sense that the group of people's goal was to help build up its momentum so that Navy Tide could eradicate the Mirage, but how likely was it that? It was a difficult decision for her.

"The mirage's biggest enemy is the Yun clan." Duan Chengrui added.

Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows: "Do you think it's the Yun family who mixed in and obstructed the mirage? At the same time, they even helped the mirage to make a name for themselves. That way, we can borrow the emperor's hand to completely uproot the mirage."

"There are too many possibilities, and this is only my guess. Otherwise, from what I see now, the first wave of people were vicious, but after joining the black clothed man, fourth brother was not injured much." Duan Chengrui only left behind these words, but he didn't give any meaning for Gu Danyan to digest it. He only pulled her along as he walked out. "Imperial Uncle loves you, so no matter what, he won't treat your injuries."

"I've already smeared the medicine." Gu Danyan, on the other hand, couldn't get rid of her hand.

Perhaps it was her misconception, but Duan Chengrui's residence seemed to be extremely complicated. He had brought her all the way to the small door, yet they hadn't run into anyone on the way. This was extremely strange.

Arriving at the back door, Duan Chengrui instead put on her cloak personally and instructed her in a low voice, "In the future, I'll send someone to contact Yin Gou."

"Qi Lin was on the same boat a long time ago." Gu Liuyan left in a hurry after saying this. He ran into the crowd in the distance and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

On the other hand, it was Duan Chengrui who was stunned. He thought that Gu Xuan Yan wouldn't be able to find anyone trustworthy. It seemed that he had underestimated her.

Instead of returning to the medicine house, he went back to the manor. Gu Danyan didn't want to use his life as the wager, or the manor was safer. As soon as he entered, a butler with a flattering face came up to him: "Princess, the prince is waiting for you in the hall to come back for dinner."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Gu Moyan raised her head and looked at the hour. This hour was rather strange.

Even though Duan Chengyu wasn't there, Litchi Bay was sitting beside him. The right side of his face was swollen, and it was obvious that he had been slapped in the face. What was interesting was that both the Tong Zhou and Xiao Hai were actually here.

Was this business or private?

"What happened today?" Gu Daiyan simply sat beside Gu Zixian, far away from Duan Chengxuan.

"The empress dowager has sent out an imperial decree ordering the Tong Zhou to temporarily protect Sky Flame City. The fourth prince's grand wedding has also been brought forward by a few days." Xiao Hai opened his mouth casually, but when he saw Litchi's face, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Duan Cheng Xuan had an expression that said that she didn't want to talk about it, but only Gu Zixian spoke faintly: "I didn't think that the Fourth Prince would actually use such a heavy move. Luckily, he brought Qing Dai along to stop him."

"What did the fourth prince say?" Gu Daiyan looked over at the beautiful woman beside him.

No wonder they had all left just now.

On the other hand, Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian's expressions were slightly better. After a long time, no one replied, but Litchi who was standing opposite of them covered her face and said, "It's all my fault, I said something that I shouldn't have said."

Gu Danyan tilted her head in confusion. Su Yu Wan, who was beside her, looked at her with interest: "This matter has something to do with you, Consort Wang."
