It was snowing in the morning of the Sky Flame.

The snow-white color scattered along with the wind. A cold wind blew, and even the few leaves on the tree were all blown off.

Gu Danyan didn't know how he had left the main courtyard. He only remembered the snow falling on her nose and her fingertips. The cold spread all the way to her heart, causing it to ache so much that it hurt.

Duan Chengxuan had been so indulgent and presumptuous towards her these past few days that he practically submitted to her.

As it turned out, what he wanted was only her bones and blood. He could still tolerate Gu Zixian carrying his own bones and blood, but he couldn't wait for Su Yu Wan's illness to finish a few more days.

The Mu Qing before his clasped his hands at her, and Cheng Er silently came to her side, only saying a light apology.

"You're the poisonous bastard. Duan Chengxuan, you're the heartless one after all."

Gu Liuyan struggled out of his hand that was twenty percent free and pushed Mu Qing, who was in front of Duan Chengxuan, to the side. His fingers, which had turned slightly red from the cold, subconsciously grabbed onto Duan Chengxuan's clothes, and his eyes turned crimson, "You did this for Su Yuwan's life! Never mind your child's life! What's more, Su Yu Wan doesn't even have one … "

In the next moment, Duan Chengxuan's hand had already reached out to cover her mouth as he bent down to touch her forehead.

"We'll still have children."

A single sentence was enough to break all of Gu Liuyan's fantasies.

Bastard!

Gu Danyan was utterly incapable of struggling free. Duan Chengxuan's embrace would never be so rough.

Even when she was pressed down onto the soft bed, she still tightly gripped onto Duan Chengxuan's wrist, and tears fell from her eyes as she said, "You will go to hell …" I will never let Su Yu Wan off! "

Duan Chengxuan had already turned his head away and wasn't looking at her anymore.

"Let's do it." Accompanied by Duan Cheng Xuan's words, Gu Xuan's fingernails finally pierced his arm, and his lips were bitten so hard that they bled.

The wind and snow outside the window suddenly became agitated. The smell of blood and the pain in the room engulfed Gu Daiyan's head.

However, she couldn't hide her hatred. She shouted out hoarsely, causing all the servants nearby to lower their heads in fear. The green-robed Jadeite was still kneeling on the ground in front of the courtyard, sobbing uncontrollably.

On the table in front of the window, the names of the children that Gu Daiyan had written countless times had all been soaked in snow.

Upon hearing the news, Duan Chengyu, who had rushed over, was pressed to the ground by Gui Chenshan, one on the left and one on the right. His eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists: "All of you, scram!"

"The wood is ready, fourth prince." Cheng Shan shook his head in pity.

Terrifying low roars were gradually covered by the sound of the wind and snow, and inaudible laughter came from the main courtyard.

Her vision that should have been completely recovered was still blurry and her body was covered in sweat that was stuck to her hair and clothes. She was unwilling to faint and only smashed her small arm until it turned purple. "Give it back to me …"

"Take him away." Duan Cheng Xuan gritted her teeth as she spoke to Mu Qing, then mercilessly pulled Gu Xuan's hand away. She stood up and said, "Rest well and the King of Japan will come see you again tomorrow."

With that, Gu Liuyan tried with all his might to get up, but he couldn't utter a single word.

After a moment, she spat out a mouthful of blood. What happened after that, she had no idea at all.

On the first winter of Sky Flame, she lost her unformed child.

That night, Duan Chengxuan stayed by Su Yu Wan's bedside and stayed there all night, leaving Gu Pingyan alone with the young doctor from the Ji Shi Hall.

Outside the main courtyard's gate, the embroidered clothes shook like a sieve. She tried her best to hide herself in a corner, covering her ears to not hear anything. Several maids were around her. "Elder sister Embroidery, what happened?"

"Speak! Didn't you hear the child cry! "

Embroidery shouted crazily. She suddenly looked at her own palm, as if the blood there would never be washed away.

The maidservants felt their scalps go numb when they heard this.

For a time, there was nothing to say. In this cold winter night, the rumors of King Jing's Estate spread like wildfire, causing everyone to know about it.

The next day, Meng Xu went to the city to buy some things for the winter. He heard the ladies eating breakfast at a nearby stall discussing the matter. "They all said that Princess Jing was unfavoured. I didn't expect that Prince Jing would make a move against his own flesh and blood."

"How come I heard that Prince Jing left Princess Consort Jing alone in an empty room for the sake of that little junior? How did he become so unyielding?"

"You don't know? Earlier, Princess Jing didn't leave for a period of time, but went to nurture her child. Last night, I received news that Princess Jing's child was gone." As she spoke to here, the woman looked around her surroundings, but did not see the official palace. She then continued, "Say yes, I used Crown Princess Jing's bone blood to make a medicine for my junior sister."

The women all cried out in alarm, thinking that this King Jing was truly ruthless.

Hong Lingtong could only feel that the wontons that she had eaten were going to be disgusted. Anxiously, she grabbed Meng Xu's wrist. "What they said couldn't be true, right?"

"I don't know." In his heart, Meng Xu started to believe what these women said.

It was just like what he had seen before, Gu Danyan's parents were disdainful of her, and even her so-called husband was not sincere to her.

Clenching his fists, he saw that the wind and snow in the sky had become even stronger.

"How about we go to the prince's mansion to look for her? I want to know …"

"If she goes, all her hopes for me will be wasted." Meng Xu quickly finished all the wontons in front of him and stood up. "When the wind and snow have passed, I will take a step forward."

The little girl pursed her lips and quickly followed Meng Xu's steps. After hurriedly buying everything for the winter, she left Sky Fire City and went to the guest courtyard to study at night. She only wanted to keep up with Gu Liuyan's hopes and get a place in the school.

Gu Liuyan woke up in the snow. The sound of the wind and snow never stopped.

Beside the bed, there was no one. Other than the howling of the wind and snow, there was nothing else in the room.

Her lower body was in excruciating pain. The pain in her abdomen was like maggots wrapped around her nerves. Her fingertips were aching and her entire body was ice-cold. Unfortunately, the smell of blood still lingered in her nose, unable to dissipate.

"Howl …" He clenched the blanket unwillingly as tears started streaming down his face.

That should have been her support, her treasure in her palm.

But now, everything is gone …

Her fingertip unsurprisingly cut across her lower abdomen, and she could only tightly clench her teeth to prevent her sobs from leaking out.

Why should she, Su Yuwan, do anything!

She gritted her teeth, unwilling to accept the outcome. The pain in her chest seemed to have returned.

The doctor at the door had noticed what was going on inside, and when he came in, he saw that her lips and palms were badly mangled, and that the wood beside the bed had been cut by her bloody nails.

"Princess!" The doctor went up to him with a pale face, but the latter held him by the lapels of his shirt tightly. He could only kneel by the side of the bed.

"How long will it take me to recover?" Gu Danyan coughed out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with fear.
