"You! "You are just a consort, I am …"

"So it turns out that your rank is higher than mine." Gu Danyan's face darkened. The broken string had already left a long, thin cut on her fingertip. The palace maid knelt beside her and cried out for her eunuch, asking for the imperial physician to come over.

When he had entered the palace, the medicine bottles on Gu Daiyan's body had been temporarily buckled, but now there was no way to stop the bleeding.

"No problem." Gu Danyan pulled his hand away from the palace maid and looked at the guard: "Did you not hear what I just said?"

The guards looked at each other and thought carefully about it. Gu Xiuyan's status was noble, and she was not only the Crown Prince's daughter, but she was also someone who could move them regardless of who she was. Thinking about this, they walked up to her and took her off.

"It's not good to see blood for today's birthday banquet. Just send someone to watch these thirty tablets."

Gu Liuyan took the handkerchief from the palace maid and wiped off the blood droplets on her fingers before continuing to play with the broken string in her hand.

The guards could only suppress him and did not dare to complain in the slightest.

As for the other young misses, they all began to quiver. They didn't expect that even though Crown Princess Jing wasn't favored, she still had quite a bit of airs. They could only discuss in whispers, afraid that they would provoke her again.

Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys would only bring him some peace.

When Duan Chengxuan personally led Gu Zixian in, the madams and young ladies by his side once again looked at the lonely Gu Danyan, who was half reclining on a chair, feeling drowsy.

When Duan Cheng Xuan saw Gu Daiyan's heartless look, she immediately lowered her face and asked Gu Zixian to sit at the side. She walked up to Gu Daiyan and lightly patted her forehead, and she saw Gu Daiyan slowly awaken while holding her forehead.

"How dare you sleep in the palace?" Duan Cheng Xuan raised his hand to pull her up from her seat.

The still unconscious Gu Pingyan let him do as he pleased. In the end, he only lifted up his long skirt and pulled his hand away from Duan Chengxuan's hand without leaving a trace, "My younger sister is pregnant, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about me. If it hasn't yet begun, please allow me to rest a bit more."

Seeing that Gu Daiyan had found a seat for himself, Duan Chengxuan's face was gloomy. Gu Zixian also came over and grabbed Duan Chengxuan's wrist with a helpless expression. "Your highness …" We might as well take our seats and leave our sister alone for a while.

"Right." Duan Chengxuan didn't want to put his face to the cold side, so he could only leave with Gu Zixian.

Gu Danyan didn't know why, but he was too sleepy. He leaned on the soft couch beside him and fell into a deep sleep.

The people around him were all discussing.

"This Crown Princess Jing isn't pampered, but she has a temper. She really isn't a good wife."

"How can this be considered as having a big temper? Isn't this just rejecting and welcoming? He's right next to King Jing, so I'm afraid he might have overplayed himself just now."

Their voices were getting louder and louder, but Gu Tinyan did not wake up.

An hour later, someone called for a person to take a seat. Gu Liuyan was forced to wake up because she was dizzy, but she had no choice but to follow them as they sat beside Duan Chengxuan. When she sat down, her legs were weak, and she could only helplessly take her pulse.

After a moment of shock, she suddenly remembered that in the few days that Qing Dai had not been around, she had not taken the medicine regularly.

But unfortunately, when she entered the palace, the medicinal materials she received were extremely difficult to bear.

Duan Chengxuan hadn't even opened his mouth to speak with her when Gu Danyan had already spoken to the young eunuch beside him, "Go ask the people at the Grand Hospital to check the small wooden box I'm carrying and think of a way to get those medicinal pills."

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch hurriedly ordered his men to do so.

Gu Danyan felt very guilty, so he could only warm his hands while holding a cup of hot water.

"Elder sister, why are you still drinking the medicine, is your body not feeling well?" Gu Zi Wu suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a loud voice.

Many people in the hall looked over. Gu Danyan's face was haggard, and Duan Chengxuan didn't care about her losing her son. They were even discussing this, but Gu Danyan had underestimated his aunt's courage.

"Yan'Er has lost her child, isn't her body healed yet?"

Even the empress dowager in the main seat looked over when these words came out.

The daughters of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue were unrecognizable to this Gu Liuyan, they had always been protective of the weak, and they were even the most arrogant, the smallest, Guangxian. But now, because of Gu Mingyan, Guangxian was severely injured and almost paralyzed, and his family had suffered from a large number of illnesses for no reason at all, so they naturally didn't like Gu Liuyan.

Hearing the Prime Minister's wife's words, the second young mistress happily opened her mouth. "Prince Jing is a lucky star of Navy Tide. He shouldn't have lost his son. Princess Jing may have committed many sins, but that's why we can't get such a good result."

Gu Liuyan's expression changed, and he clenched his fingers tightly.

However, Duan Chengxuan firmly gripped the hand she placed under the table with a slightly threatening expression on his face. "There's no need to take it to heart."

"Is that so?" Gu Danyan raised his hand to cover his stomach. He still clearly remembered the heavy feeling of falling.

On the first snowfall of winter, the wind and frost that filled the sky had already frozen her heart.

She pried open Duan Chengxuan's fingers one by one, and all sorts of questions came to her ears. The empress dowager paid no attention to them, and even the empress dowager spoke up in a low voice. "Crown Princess Jing, being arrogant and despotic isn't good."

"It is indeed not good." Gu Liuyan moved away a bit without leaving a trace, maintaining his position with Duan Chengxuan as he forcefully suppressed the rage that surged out from his heart. He held onto his cup tightly and said, "I'm not worthy of the King Jing, he's a rainbow cloud in the sky. I'm just a speck of dust on the ground."

The corner of Gu Pingyan's mouth twitched as he laughed at himself. He could only feel that his lower abdomen was in unbearable pain, and his forehead was covered with layers of sweat.

"What is Princess Jing saying?" With a bang, the empress dowager slammed the cup onto the table.

The empress dowager had always been a merciful person. Every day, she ate and chanted buddhist chants, not allowing herself to listen to what Tun Yan said. In her heart, she was filled with loathing for the unruly Crown Princess Jing.

"Princess Jing only became like this because she lost her child." Duan Chengxuan hurriedly cupped his hands together.

The empress dowager clutched the buddhist beads in her hands tightly. In the end, she didn't say anything, but the empress dowager didn't, and the other wives and mistresses wouldn't just shut up.

Gu Danyan naturally remembered all of the empress dowager's preferences. When she thought of what she had just said, she couldn't help but sneer.

When dealing with an invulnerable and good-natured family like the empress dowager, he still had to attract her attention first. In the future, he would slowly show her his kind heart and medical skills, and in the future, he would be dead set on liking her.

As for those officials and women, they had become a good stepping stone.

"However, there have been many rumors regarding Princess Jing recently." The daughters of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue could only chatter on.
