If one were to mention that she had been mischievous while she was lucky, then another would say that she had committed many sins and would never be able to bear the consequences for her children.

The three of them became tigers, but what they said was true. As for Duan Chengxuan, he didn't say anything.

He wanted to see if Gu Mingyan could beg him for help.

It was a pity that the women only said that she had shown up every day, but they didn't say that she was practicing medicine to save lives, that she was only interested in profit. They didn't say that she wrote a prescription for Misty Rain Pavilion, that she bought a lot of books, but they didn't say how many children she had saved from borrowing books.

When she heard that even the empress dowager was so angry, her face darkened as she thought that Gu Mingyan was arrogant and domineering.

"Moreover, I heard that she is very close to the little overlord of Sky Flame, Qi Lin." Only then did a woman speak with a wink and a wink. She only told him about her acquaintance with Qi Lin in a mysterious and gentle manner.

The Emperor could only cough a few times and let those people keep quiet. He then looked at Gu Pingyan and said, "Princess Jing, it's better if you manage the affairs of the estate more often than usual."

"Your majesty." She stood up with the wine cup in her hand and walked to the center of the banquet under the gaze of the crowd. After she respectfully bowed to the emperor and the empress dowager, she said, "I practice medicine to save people and set up a tent, but I was called shameless. I helped Qi Lin change the course of events, but I was told that I was flirting with men, and I hope the emperor can enlighten me."

"Oh?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow.

The empress dowager slowly opened her eyes and looked down condescendingly at the woman dressed in luxurious clothing. She didn't seem to believe her. "This Dowager feels that you're spouting lies and spouting lies. In the end, it's still a matter of your morals."

As soon as he said that, Gu Liuyan pursed her lips and smiled. She raised her head and kneeled in the main hall with no trace of fear in her eyes.

"The husband of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the two girls' daughter, Wanliu brothel's courtesan, loved Hua Kui of Cloud Pavilion the most." The husband of the assistant minister of the Department of Revenue and the two girls' daughter, the brothel's lover, Hua Kui of Cloud Pavilion.

"And the lady who mocked me just now scolded the servant girl and scolded her servants. She had once broken the legs of two servants and chased them out of the house, leaving them to perish on their own.

"Also, this lord has been masturbating during the day and has been hanging around the flowery streets and alleys, tiring out his kidneys every day. His wife is even more depressed and does not bear children. She actually likes to go to secret places to have fun with her young master for disloyalty."

Gu Danyan's thin lips slightly parted. Each of his words caused many officials to lower their heads.

The emperor's face turned even darker, his gaze sweeping past the officials that were mentioned, they actually didn't say a word.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Could it be that everyone here is such a person?" Some of the officials and wives were unwilling to accept this.

Gu Danyan looked at her and raised his mouth: "Why did you ask me? Your multiple abortions are only to save the heart of that adult of yours. Unfortunately, that adult of yours still raised a young lady and even had a son.

That official's face suddenly turned pale, while the other adults turned red. They pointed at Gu Daiyan and were unable to say a word.

The empress dowager's face turned blue, but she didn't expect Gu Mingyan to be so bold that she would dare to say anything.

Gu Cheng was equally angered, wishing for nothing more than to seal her mouth.

Unfortunately, Gu Danyan did not feel it was over. Instead, he respectfully kowtowed, and suddenly said in a fierce tone, "Most of the adults in this imperial court have a clear conscience, but when I say these things, I just want to tell the emperor and empress dowager that they don't like my straightforward character."

The empress dowager's movements froze as she looked at her impatiently. "Today is my birthday, what program did you prepare?"

Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

However, she still did not like him, so she started to make things difficult for him. If it was a wedding present, then all she needed to do was to take out the wedding gift Duan Chengxuan had prepared, but when it came to the program, it was difficult.

She was still thinking about how she should resolve the situation when Gu Zisheng spoke up under Alain's guidance: "Big sister, aren't you the good Dan Qing?"

Gu Zixian remembered that Gu Danyan had always been a naughty kid. If one were to say that she could write as she liked, then it meant that Dan Qing didn't want to learn it and just found it boring. Furthermore, her calligraphy these days was average, so if she really did draw a Dan Qing, then she would be humiliated.

Gu Daiyan felt helpless, but the empress dowager had already ordered someone to bring the screen over and pay for the paper.

This one, however, couldn't be taken down now.

Duan Chengxuan watched coldly from the start till the end, as he had never heard that she would still know of alchemy.

However, they had underestimated Gu Danyan. Normally, the senior staff in the department celebrated their birthday by asking a lone female doctor to draw a picture of him. Even though the drawing was not too good, in this era, it was worth it.

"Then today, Yan'Er will present a birthday present for the empress dowager."

Gu Danyan bowed slightly, but there was a hint of allure in her movements. When she tapped the paper lightly with her finger, the wolf hair in her hand fell like the ocean on the paper, causing her aura to change.

She didn't dance as gracefully as Tianyan dancers, but her movements were full of energy. After a while, a character appeared on the paper.

The brush fell, the dance ended, the wrist flipped, and the brush spun in her hand and fell back onto the table.

"Sorry." Gu Danyan smiled and raised her eyes. However, she did not know that Yi Mo's dot had landed on the corner of her eye, making her look even more charming.

Duan Chengxuan's eyes were fixated on the painting as his heart trembled.

Gu Mingyan was able to surprise him every single time.

Even the Third and Fourth Princes were slightly stunned. They watched as the flirtatious look in Gu Pingyan's eyes faded until there was only a faint sense of loneliness left. The birthday present also made the empress dowager slightly moved. "Reward!"

The entire hall was in an uproar, and for a moment, no one made a sound.

Gu Zixian could only tightly clench his sleeves as he watched Gu Liuyan unwillingly return to his seat.

At this moment, Gu Liuyan felt dizzy, but she still forced herself to pay her respects: "Many thanks, empress dowager."

The empress dowager would glance at her from time to time, and order people to put away the birthday present. She then went over everything that had happened just now, but those ministers would probably remember Gu Ziyan's actions today, and would take revenge in the future.

Duan Chengxuan wanted to reprimand him a few more times, but Gu Danyan took the pills from the young eunuch's hands and ate a lot of them. He could only half-support his face as he leaned against the table.

"Your Highness, please wipe your sweat." The palace maid next to her handed over a clean handkerchief and could only say helplessly, "Is Your Highness tired? "This servant can bring you to the side palace to rest for a while. After the birthday celebration ends, the empress dowager would like to see you once more."
