Birds were chirping, and red dates, which were half dried up by the sun, could only lick their paws as they raised their bellies and took up a corner of the square table.
After a night's worth of training, Gu Dingyan was finally about to send the recipe to Misty Rain Pavilion. Although he didn't know what benefits it would bring, at least it wouldn't hurt his skin and skin.
Putting the brush to the side, she carefully sorted out the ingredients and the prescription.
"Meow." He put everything into the box and carried the red dates out to the kitchen. Qing Dai had heated up the breakfast for her, but she was afraid that she would not be able to eat enough, so she gave her the porridge.
After eating their fill, Qi Rou brought in Qi Lin, who was no longer messing around.
Qi Rou chuckled as she handed the box over to Qi Rou. "I didn't expect this skincare recipe to be so good. It's just that it doesn't sell for much, but Mo Yu can buy it for a decent price."
"Indeed, if you want to grind them down, you have to pay attention to the ratio." Qi Lin also sniffed at the box with feigned seriousness. This box was indeed fragrant with the scent of flowers, and the faint smell of medicine had perfectly blended in with it.
"But as long as I can use it, it can be considered as a new item for Misty Castle." Gu Daiyan yawned lazily. Seeing that Qi Rou and Qi Lin were studying the prescription, he could only rub his aching wrist and continued: "You guys watch, I'll go to sleep first."
"Wait." Qi Rou hurriedly stopped her, then she took out two gold ingots and eight hundred silver taels from her pocket and placed them into her hands, "You've given our Misty Rain Pavilion some advice, this bit of money is worth it."
Qi Lin looked at Qi Rou with her eyes wide open. This eight hundred taels was a huge number.
Gu Dingdang calmly accepted it and told Qing Dai to put it away before continuing: "Take five hundred taels and send it to the palace. Afterwards, bring the gold to invite the two cooks back."
"Yes." Blue Dai bowed slightly.
Gu Danyan then walked into the room and laid down, but soon fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Lin, who was in the courtyard, didn't plan to go back. She held the red dates in her arms and basked in the sunlight. Qi Rou sighed lightly and held on to Qing Dai, "She won't leave the house. She probably doesn't know what's going on outside."
"What's wrong?" Blue Dai was curious.
"The fox demon's rumors were temporarily suppressed, but now that the news of Su Yu Wan being favoured has been spread to the palace. Just now, the prince had already entered the palace, but for some reason, he didn't come to find her." With that, Qi Rou's gaze fell on Gu Danyan's room.
She said that she would listen to Fairy Qingdai, but she only wanted her to be more careful.
Only when she understood the situation did Qi Rou leave.
At the same time, within the main courtyard of Prince Jing's estate.
Su Yu Wan proudly laid on the soft bed, while the embroidery at her side served her some pastries. She lazily opened her mouth and casually asked: "No matter how much of a pet this Gu Mingyan is, it can't compare to my cup of wine, it's truly laughable."
"That's right, that's right. Even though she was sitting in the position of an imperial concubine, every day, she would be wandering around the Hall of Appreciation. Many of the children of the officials' families treated her as a laughingstock, but they didn't respect her in the slightest." As long as Su Yu Wan was in a good mood, their treatment wouldn't be any worse.
"However, Gu Zixian has not been peaceful recently, taking advantage of the time Miss left for you to leave the Prince, she has been persevering to seduce the Prince." The embroidery suddenly continued.
Su Yuwan's body froze and her heart turned cold.
Initially, she had thought that Gu Zixian was just a fool. If he could pull her into the Prince's Mansion to deal with Gu Daiyan, she would not have expected that Gu Zixian would be so shrewd as to not meet with the girl beside her and instead directly rope her in.
Now that Gu Liuyan had gained the prince's love, he naturally wouldn't speak coldly to Gu Zixian because he loved his home dearly.
"Where is she now?" Su Yu Wan stood up from the couch.
I'm still at the Pure Wind Garden, and I seem to have kept trying to rope in Gu Yan for the past few days. However, invite me to take a look, Gu Yan seems to be an honest man with bright eyes. Embroidery could only move the cup carefully to one side so that Su Yu Wan wouldn't be in a bad mood and break the cup again.
Only then did Su Yuwan relax. However, she only touched her fingertips.
After hesitating for a while, she decided that as long as she was unable to climb up to Duan Chenxuan's bed, it would be impossible for her to do anything, so she continued, "How is the rumors outside coming along?"
"The majority of the gossip has dispersed. Now, all that's being said is that Princess Consort Jing's hand has returned to its former glory, and her heart is as good as a Bodhisattva's." The voice of the beautiful woman gradually lowered, afraid that Su Yu Wan would be angry.
However, Su Yu Wan did not seem to be angry at all and only sneered: "Then let her go back to her former glory, as long as Big Brother Xuan is mine then that's fine."
Ye Zichen raised his chin in satisfaction. She had already rested early, so she didn't have to bother with other stuff.
As long as she could obtain Duan Cheng Xuan, Gu Danyan's reputation had nothing to do with her.
When the moon was bright in the sky and the stars shone brightly, Gu Daiyan was reminded by Qing Dai to go to the fourth prince's residence tomorrow to help.
Only then did she casually put on a coat before climbing to her feet and arriving at the door of the house.
Cheng Er saw that she still needed to enter, so he only opened the door. He didn't know when the room inside had been filled with an iron cage. Gu Mingyan looked inside and ordered Yin Jiao to light a fire.
"Jing …" Crown Princess Jing? " The sudden brightness made them cover their eyes. Gu Pingyan had no choice but to use his wide sleeves to block the light. He squatted outside the iron cage and looked at them: "Who sent you guys?"
"We've all been poisoned, and said that we have to protect you well. Only when you return to your hometown can we go back to get the antidote." One of the scrawny and weak people said in a low voice.
Go home?
Gu Danyan raised a smile and tilted his head to look at the people inside: "So that's how it is, what did you do before? "How was I poisoned?"
The assassins all cried out. Gu Pingyan gently patted the corner of his skirt and stood up: "You were poisoned, and now your four limbs are trembling. Your chest is like the bite of an ant. If you drag it for another five or six days, you will die."
"I'll say it!" "I used to be a bandit on the mountain, but I was forced to make a living …"
"I was a thief."
The five of them went into detail about their background and sure enough, they had all done some bad things, but looking at the situation before, their martial arts were still average, ultimately injuring Duan Chengyu. However, knowing the answer, she threw a jade bottle into it: "This pill can temporarily suppress the poison, you guys can go back and tell Yun Family that I will be leaving in a few days. You will naturally have the antidote as well."
The assassins were all crying out in excitement. Only Gu Pingyan had a sullen expression on his face as he let his imagination run wild.
