From the looks of it, not everyone around him was a good person.
The hearts of the people around her had always changed. Since Gu Tinyan had decided to believe Litchi Bay, she wouldn't believe it now.
Gu Yan Zhizhan, who was standing beside him, looked at Gu Danyan awkwardly, "The fourth prince's consort isn't usually like this either. She treats me very well and takes good care of the fourth prince …"
"I know. She only has feelings for me."
Gu Liuyan only nodded seriously. Since Yun Qingyang had passed away, she naturally had to find a better way to help the Yun clan gain a foothold. Now that the Yun clan was in the limelight, the best way was to give up.
"Why?" Gu Yan didn't understand.
Gu Liuyan lightly knocked on his head: "Of course you have to use your brain. If you ask me everything, what will you do when you lead the troops to the war?"
"I rarely read books …" Gu Yan felt a little helpless.
Only then did Gu Danyan remember. Although Gu Yan was also a member of the Gu family, he wouldn't give it to anyone else if he was favoured. Gu Yan might not have read any books before, but he only practiced the sword everyday in order to serve the country.
"Did father tell you anything recently?" Gu Liuyan suddenly remembered.
"My foster father never said anything to me. He would only instruct me from time to time to do something to protect some people." As Gu Yan spoke, he told Gu Cheng everything that he had done.
It turned out that during the period of her disappearance, Gu Yan had even done quite a few things for Gu Cheng. However, none of these things were very good, and he had even been asked to help transport the goods.
"In the future, if Father wants you to do anything, tell me everything. I will tell you how to judge the severity of these matters. In the future, if you bring troops into battle, you can also use them." On the other side, she saw that there really wasn't a single book in Gu Yan's room. She stood up and said, "Also, I'll go and get some military manuals for you. Take a good look at them in the next few days and I'll accompany you."
"Of course it's good, but elder sister …" Do you want me to accompany you? " Gu Yan was still a little worried about her.
Gu Danyan stopped in his tracks. His tightly clenched fists slowly loosened. After hesitating for a while, he let out a deep breath and said in a low voice: "As long as you're all fine, then come with me."
There was no place for her to cry here.
Thinking up to here, she had only asked Duan Chengyu for some military manuals for Gu Yan. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Duan Chengyu seemed to have thought of something a moment later and said in a low voice, "The matter of you disappearing earlier even concerned Liu'er from Wind Listening Pavilion. It was also she who told us about your disappearance.
The girls who chatted with him in Wind Listening Pavilion were all intimate, so Duan Chengyu could only hope that she would be able to pour his heart out to them.
"Got it." Gu Danyan nodded his head and picked up his cup, puzzled.
However, she didn't go directly to the Wind Listening Pavilion today. Instead, she wrote down a prescription for Qing Dai to bring back to Su Yuwan's main courtyard. Every day, she would ask Mu Qing to fry the medicine according to the ingredients written on the recipe.
However, at night, Su Yuwan could not sleep after only drinking a bowl of medicine. Her whole body was covered in sweat and there was not a single spot of comfort.
Duan Chengxuan only stayed in the study for the sake of the matters he left behind earlier. Only Mu Qing, who was attending to him at the side, directly walked in.
"Mu Qing, quickly show me why my whole body feels so uncomfortable after drinking the medicine." Su Yuwan felt dizzy. She wanted to vomit, but nothing came out.
Mu Qing only hurried to check her pulse, and after a while, he only frowned. "It seems that the wangfei truly views you as a terminally ill patient, and there's no harm in giving this medicine to the patient, but you haven't gotten sick at all. In this way, there's actually some problems, but it's all fine, just bear with it."
"Can't you drink it?" Su Yuwan's face was pale. She even suspected that Gu Mingyan was messing with her.
"Of course you want to drink it. If you don't, then if you really eat Jade Dragon Snow and the Phoenix's Bile, your body won't be able to withstand it." Mu Qing's heart also ached, but he could only try his best to dissuade his.
Now that she could only keep making mistakes, Su Yu Wan could only turn around and go to bed. However, she already had other plans in her mind.
He only took out a small jade bottle from under the pillow. There was a pill lying inside.
This was a poison that Mu Qing had gone through great difficulty to concoct for her. If she were to consume it when her meridians weren't working properly, it would result in his being poisoned but in reality, it could only harm her twenty to thirty percent.
If she really couldn't hide it when the time came, she could only use this strategy.
The rainy night was very cold. Gu Liuyan could not sleep for a long time as she listened to the rain outside.
However, he couldn't help but think back to when he was with Yun Qingyang in the mountains, accompanying his children. Back then, Yun Qingyang was clearly very well-built, yet she was still teaching his children medicine.
"Princess." Seeing that the doors and windows were wide open, the maidservant of the Fourth Prince's residence hurriedly came in with a lantern. She saw Gu Danyan sitting by the window dressed in simple clothes and hurriedly said: "This rainy night is too cold, your body isn't too well. It's better to rest early."
"No need, I can't sleep by myself." Gu Danyan could only wave his hand. After persuading the girl to leave, he could not sleep even more.
Her hands began to tremble slightly as well. Yun Qingyang would rather use the poison of the iron bell to urge her to head to Ling Nanyun as soon as possible, but he refused to tell her the truth. She didn't even leave behind a single object.
Yun Qingyang was the only one who knew that she wasn't Gu Meiyan.
"My God, do I have time to be nostalgic here? I have no choice but to keep walking. " She painfully covered her face, her shoulders trembling.
The rain outside the window seemed to have increased in volume, and the sounds of rain did not stop.
Even when all the candles were burnt to ashes, those who could not stop crying did not go to bed. They just stared blankly at their hands, not saying a word.
The figure by the wall vanished in an instant, and an hour later, a figure that was drenched in sweat had knelt before Duan Chengxuan, telling him everything he saw earlier.
"Let her stay in the fourth prince's residence for a few more days. Wan-Er's body still needs some time to recover." Duan Chengxuan was stunned for a long time before returning to the document in his hands.
Now that the crown prince was about to be crippled, a storm was unavoidable in this imperial court.
"Your subordinate would usually accompany the princess consort? The Princess doesn't seem to get along with the two cats. " Gui Gui mustered his courage and spoke up.
