The silver moon hung high in the sky above Prince Jing's mansion.
Su Yu Wan looked at her reflection in the mirror. Although her face was sickly, it gave her a different kind of beauty.
After Mu Qing checked her pulse, he frowned slightly. "Are you still going to continue pretending to be sick? This pulse of yours is much weaker than before. I'm afraid that if you stay in the mansion day after day like this, coupled with the depression in your heart, you'll really get sick. "
"So what? As long as Big Brother Xuan's drape can be obtained, so what if she's sick?"
Su Yu Wan gently lifted the hair by her ear and subconsciously glanced at her wrist. She had heard from Big Brother Xuan that Gu Ming Yan was thinner than her. It was truly laughable.
Mu Qing did not say a word. Only the embroidered door opened and he hesitantly said, "Miss, it seems like you don't have to wait for your highness to come back today …"
"Why?" Su Yuwan's eyes suddenly turned vicious.
Embroidery faltered, "Your Highness has already decided to settle down in the Medicine Mansion tonight."
Su Yu Wan took two deep breaths. In the next moment, the bronze mirror on the dressing table had been swept away by her and shattered into pieces.
She was trembling with fear, not daring to speak. She waited until Su Yu Wan was out of breath before calming down and continued: "Miss, it's all because of that seductress Gu Danyan that took away the prince's soul."
Su Yuwan was so angry that her face turned red as she sat on the chair. Naturally, she agreed with Embroidery's words.
No matter what she did before, Big Brother Xuan would always be obedient. If she didn't like it, then he could even clean up the star-like rocks on the road for her.
But now, big brother Xuan had actually fallen for such a foxy woman!
"This is so infuriating …" Su Yu Wan angrily threw the handkerchief at Mu Qing's feet.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xiu rolled her eyes, hurried to Su Yu Wan's side, and whispered: "I say, this Gu Ming Yan might really be a fox, but Miss has only recently become a Heavenly Flame Tyrant, and she doesn't want to marry Miss Litchi. Maybe, Gu Ming Yan will seduce the Fourth Prince along with her."
Hearing this, Su Yu Wan began to ponder: "So that means, she can't really be a fox demon, right?"
"You can't say, but before this, both the Third and Sixth Princes were interested in her, and now, she has attracted the soul of the Prince. Maybe she really is a fox demon, not to mention that you took her heart's blood before, she is still alive and kicking now." The brocade naturally went along with the explanation, which was quite reasonable.
Thinking about it, Su Yu Wan had a plan in her heart: "Go and spread these rumors."
Embroidery only smiled and quickly went to do it.
Mu Qing wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to stop her, but when he saw the madness in Su Yu Wan's eyes, he stopped her.
On the second day, the news of the appearance of the fox demon spread like wildfire throughout Sky Flame City. Earlier, when Fire Thunder God said that the heavens were enraged, there were even people who claimed that the combined return of the princes was all due to the power of the fox demon, making it sound as if it was true.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, didn't know about this. When she woke up, she saw Duan Chengxuan changing clothes at the side and was only scared to the point that she hurriedly got up.
Duan Chengxuan sized up her actions and said in a low voice, "I won't eat tofu from a drunk person."
"Who knows …" Gu Liuyan muttered in a low voice, but then let out a sigh of relief.
Even if they slept together, it would be fine.
She generously put on her clothes and didn't put on any makeup. Seeing that Duan Chengxuan continued to process the documents on the table, she only moved the things onto the stone table in the courtyard.
The two of them were just separated by the window frame. As long as they raised their eyes, they would be able to see each other. Other than having their breakfast, however, the two of them were busy with their own things.
The only sound that could be heard was the sound of crushed medicinal materials and the sound of packing and kneading. It was much quieter than the silence in Prince Jing's Estate.
Without the temptations of Su Yuwan and the flattery of Gu Zixian, who always came to give him things, he could not find this place even if he was troubled. He seemed to understand why Gu Pingyan liked this place.
In this way, the two of them spent a day and night in peace.
Early the next morning, Gu Pingyan only jumped over Duan Cheng Xuan's body and jumped off the bed. Duan Cheng Xuan immediately woke up. "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Hall of Relief and deliver some medicine. It's still early in the morning. I can still buy the steamed dumplings and beef tendons noodles in the neighboring restaurant when I return." Gu Danyan quickly changed his clothes and rushed out.
Duan Chengxuan was no longer sleepy, and he only glanced at the sky before suddenly recalling that Gu Tinyan had only slept last night at midnight. Even he was slightly sleepy, but he didn't know where Gu Tinyan got the energy from.
In the morning, there was no one in the streets, so Gu Pingyan carried two medicine packs full of boxes by himself. He also carried a basket full of food on his back as he leisurely strolled to the Hall of Ji Shi Tang. When the shop assistant who opened the door saw her this time, he immediately took the things: "Crown Princess Jing …" "You …"
"Still calling me Lady Yan'Er." Gu Danyan only put the basket in and saw He Jin arguing with someone in the yard. He sat down and asked the waiter to order some herbs.
The shop assistant counted the herbs and said in a low voice, "Princess, there were a lot of rumors spreading about you yesterday in the Sky Fire City."
"Tell me about it." Gu Danyan was curious. If she didn't go through the door, what else could she talk about?
That shop assistant naturally told her the rumors surrounding the fox demon's appearance. He looked at her with a worried expression. "Royal Consort, don't mind it. These rumors can kill people."
"You said it already, rumors can kill people, but am I not a fox demon?" Gu Danyan did not get angry, instead, he laughed.
The shop assistant was completely speechless. He Jin walked in with the half-opened curtain after talking with someone. When he saw Gu Liuyan, he hurried to welcome her: "You came at the right time."
"What's wrong?" Gu Daiyan did not understand.
"Yesterday's doctor was beaten up by some hoodlum when he returned home. He couldn't come today, but there's been a lot of people coming recently. Since you're Crown Prince Jing, why don't you help me find you …"
Gu Liuyan put down the cup. Thinking of the shop assistant's rumors, she laughed lightly: "Why don't you let me be the doctor. It just so happens that with my medical skills, I can break these ridiculous rumors."
"Stop fooling around, your identity as the princess consort has been exposed." He Jin's expression immediately turned serious, but in the end, he couldn't hold back Gu Liu Yan's pitiful gaze. In the end, he could only agree and let her hang up the name plate for Gu Qing.
The stall was set up and the sign was hung up. She ate the noodles and the two cages of steamed dumplings and waited for someone to take her pulse.
The passersby had been unable to dodge in time, but they had never seen a fox demon eating so bravely before.
