The grand marriage of the princes was a celebration of the Heavenly Flames Mountain.
The main street of the city was bustling with noise and excitement.
However, the room was completely silent. The pretty girl had already prepared everything for Litchi Bay. She wore a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes. Her normally gentle and graceful appearance was now straight and straight. Her eyebrows were raised slightly, revealing her enchanting appearance.
Gu Liuyan pinched his fingertips and smiled at her: "It's a pity that your father and mother can't come to Sky Flame."
"I knew this would happen." Litchi gently smiled, and his fingertips were twisted with nervousness.
She originally didn't like her family, but now she couldn't even use her father's name, so she could only leave behind the name Litchi Bay. If it wasn't for the fact that Consort Xian had secretly groomed her, her family wouldn't have been able to provide any help.
Gu Liuyan knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she could only embarrassedly change the topic. She wished her happiness and comforted her that this was only a ceremony. Even if there were some minor details, no one would care.
Litchi Bay only chuckled, and let the old woman beside her put on the red cloth, and said in a clear voice: "The groom is already at the door! The bride is up! "
She watched as the new maidservant led her out of Litchi Bay.
Gu Daiyan did not stay for long and left through the back door. She took the carriage to the fourth prince's new residence and hid in the crowd. She could not help but hear their gossip.
"How could this Crown Princess Jing be favoured? I'm actually quite pleased with myself from seeing that concubine of hers."
"If I were also the Prime Minister's daughter and the descendant of the Yun clan, I would naturally be able to marry Prince Jing."
The two young ladies of the Shangguan family didn't recognize her, but they did allow her to watch the two newbies enter the hall. Duan Chengyu and Litchi Bay held the red silk in their hands and kneeled in front of the empty main seat, and on the table was the statue of the God that Navy Tide worshipped. They didn't bow to heaven and earth nor to husband and wife, and only held the red silk before the gods and made oaths.
All along the way, when Duan Chengyu brought Lai Wan away, Gu Danyan also headed to the banquet at the mansion. However, her cold had not yet recovered and she had once again caused a ruckus with them yesterday, causing the cold to become even heavier, so she could only bear with it and not cough.
Qing Dai, who was at the side, brought out a cup of warm water and said, "They all said that we shouldn't have stayed up late yesterday."
"It's fine." Gu Danyan took a sip of warm water and put it back on the table before returning to where she should be.
At the side of the table, Su Yu Wan was leaning against Duan Ling Tian's chest as she expressed her envy. Duan Cheng Xuan's gaze towards Su Yu Wan was so gentle that she was able to squeeze water out of her eyes, but in the end, Duan Cheng Xuan still gave her some face, leaving her seat on the left.
The crown prince and second prince had only sent gifts and there was only Duan Chengxuan and the third prince Duan Chengrui at the table. She sat down lightly with Chang Yiqin, whom he had met before, by his side. She wasn't too pleased with himself, it seemed as if Duan Chengrui was discussing something with Yue Qing before she turned around to look at Mingyan and asked, "Aren't you jealous, Imperial Consort Jing?"
"Not eating." Gu Danyan could only resist the itchiness in her throat. Yin Gou, who was beside her, brought a bowl of hot broth noodles from somewhere in front of her. Two eggs were sprinkled with green onions. Just by looking at it, one could tell it tasted good.
She did not care about the fact that Su Yu Wan kept talking about Big Brother Xuan, nor did she care about Chang Yiqin's expression of shock and disgust.
She just didn't eat breakfast. She was very hungry.
After a short while, Duan Chengyu walked to their table and toasted one table at a time. When he arrived at their table, his eyes were focused on Gu Daiyan, who was alone, as he respectfully toasted the other: "Thank you for your blessings, Imperial Uncle and Princess Wangfei."
"I wish you a hundred years of good harmony." Gu Daiyan could only pick up his wine glass and gently clink it.
The two looked at each other and smiled, but Gu Daiyan felt that the person who married became a lot more mature in an instant. She only smiled more gently: "If Litchi ever comes to me to cry, I won't forgive you."
"Got it." Duan Chengyu smiled happily, then headed to the next place.
Gu Danyan lifted up her dress and sat down, and Yin Qiufu took out a cloak for her to place on her shoulders. She only smiled lightly as she held up her clothes, and without waiting for Duan Chengxuan to speak, she opened her mouth and said, "Your highness, my body isn't feeling well, so I won't stay any longer."
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her fingertips were burning. However, she was afraid of the cold, so she couldn't sit still.
However, just as she left her seat, Duan Chengrui lightly tapped on Yue Qing who was beside her. Yue Qing stood up and left as if she understood.
She came to an alley where no one should be around and saw Gu Danyan, who had just left, standing there with a large wooden box in his hand. When he saw her coming over, he only smirked: "What is it?"
"The people at the Hundred Grass Cliff have already been prepared. When will you be leaving?"
Gu Danyan only shot her a glance with his peach blossom eyes before continuing, "I just need to wait. I can't figure out what Duan Chengxuan is thinking."
"But recently, he doted on you so much, yet you wanted to hurt him. Do you think that I would be as trusting of you as the Third Prince?" Yue Qing raised her hand slowly, and a silver blade pressed against Gu Qing Yan's neck.
It was a pity that the cough after her anxiety made her entire body tremble slightly. Yue Qing moved the silver blade to the side a little, and when Gu Pingyan saw this, his smile became even wider. "When did you see Duan Chengxuan spoil me? No matter what, the blood that I pay must be repaid. "
"You are even more ruthless than me." Yue Qing gritted her teeth as she looked at the sickly Gu Tinyan.
With his fingertips, he gently pushed the blade away from her neck. Gu Liuyan placed the wooden box in her bosom, "Third Prince, please help me deliver this item to the Sixth Prince at the border. This is the medicine pillow and the replacement medicine that I promised but forgot to give."
Yue Qing held onto the wooden box and heard Gu Pingyan cough violently a few times. After that, she simply pulled up her cloak and carefully walked away from the intersection.
This Gu Mingyan, why is she so strange?
She tightened her sleeve and a small knife fell into her palm. However, when she heard Gu Daiyan's muffled grunt, she only hesitated for a moment before putting away the silver blade as if nothing had happened. She was ready to return to report to the third prince.
At the mouth of the alleyway behind him, a few men dressed in coarse linen clothes carried the unconscious Gu Daiyan into the carriage.
Yue Qing only returned to her banquet. Facing the third prince's questioning gaze, she smiled lightly and explained the reason behind the wooden box. After that, she continued, "It seems like she is still on our side."
"That's good then. I'll leave this wooden box for you to handle." The corner of Duan Chengrui's mouth raised, but he didn't see the coldness in Yue Qing's eyes.
Even though the Third Prince trusted the imperial concubine, in Yue Qing's eyes, it wasn't clear whether the imperial concubine was a friend or foe. Such a person should be eliminated as soon as possible.
She had instigated Litchi Bay and failed to hurt her in the slightest. Now that she had been kidnapped, she naturally would not tell anyone else about it.
