Duan Chengxuan accompanied Gu Zixian to his side, and after passing through the imperial court, he returned to the side hall in his court uniform.

Gu Zixian was pregnant and had yet to wake up from his bed. Duan Chengxuan's expression was gloomy, but no matter what, he could not bear to see Gu Zixian like this. Gu Zixian was even weaker than Wan'er, and his tiny wounds had to be spoiled.

Arriving alone under the roof, he did not expect that the spring rain would fall on him and that he would be busy in the palace.

Chengshan stopped by his side and whispered, "Yun Qingyang has passed away. The person in charge of Ling Nan Yun's family is a widow. Everyone calls her Widow Zhu. We've tried many times to find loopholes, and the Widow Zhu has always responded."

"How much time has passed and you have not managed to obtain any benefits from the Yun clan?" He did not find the person who poisoned Su Yu Wan, and he didn't think that it was really Gu Daiyan's actions. However, in the end, he did not trust Gu Xuan Yan's so-called prescription, "Wan'er's body is gradually weakening. If you don't get the Yun Family's prescription again …"

"This subordinate is incompetent, but this subordinate will be bold to say it. Is there really a problem with the wangfei's prescription?"

"If there wasn't a problem, how could Wan-Er have been poisoned?!" Later on, the genius doctor said that the poison should have been minute and subtle, and if Gu Mingyan hadn't activated it, it wouldn't have come menacingly. " Duan Chengxuan's words were resolute and decisive.

In the end, this matter still included Gu Daiyan.

Therefore, when he had forced her to become pregnant, he had indeed carried a trace of anger with him. He hated that Gu Danyan was so jealous that even the weak Wan'er could do such a vicious thing.

Cheng Shan did not dare to continue, and could only helplessly say.

"Forget it, do you have any news of Qingze?"

"The Yun family has protected him well. Now, with the help of the Old Devil Bai from the martial arts world, they have even won over many martial arts forces for their own use. It seems like they are prepared for all forces." Cheng Shan continued, "As for Young Master Qing, I've never seen him before. I've only heard of the Widow Zhu."

"The Yun clan has existed for hundreds of years, yet they're so vigilant. It's quite a rare sight."

Standing with his hands behind his back, the dark intent in Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes became even deeper.

If it was for Wan-Er, he would make a hole for her even if it was just a wall of steel.

"Send someone to monitor the movements of the Yun clan. When the time is ripe, this king will personally ask the Yun clan to hand over the secret recipe." Duan Cheng Xuan waved his hand and the ghosts on the roof were concealed. Cheng Shan hurriedly retreated to Duan Cheng Xuan's side when he heard the faint sounds of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

A few palace maids entered through the door. Senior Servant Gui slowly walked in and stood in front of Duan Chengxuan to pay her respects. "Your Highness, the Heavenly Queen has already woken up. He requests you to bring along the princess consort."

"Senior Servant Gui, may I trouble you to tell Imperial Mother that I'll bring Zixu over in a moment." Duan Chengxuan cupped his hands slightly. He was extremely respectful towards this Senior Servant Gui, who had doted on him since he was young.

After sending someone to wake Gu Zixian up, the two of them slowly walked towards the empress dowager's sleeping quarters.

"Prince, I heard that the empress dowager doesn't like harem women, and even less so the imperial concubine. Why is it that today …"

"Because of the princess consort."

The warning in his eyes, however, still made Gu Zixian shut his mouth.

The palace was a place with walls and ears, and words flew with the wind. If the empress dowager were to know that Gu Zixian had described her like this, she would definitely be furious.

Arriving at the empress dowager's chambers, the two bowed respectfully.

Gu Mingyan was sleeping soundly on the soft couch beside the bed. Senior Servant Gui was carefully guarding by the side, afraid that Gu Mingyan would fall off her bed.

The empress dowager leaned against the bed and waved her hand at Gu Zixian. "Come over."

Gu Zixian could only obediently walk to the side of the bed and kneel on the bed. The empress dowager held her hand in her palm, but didn't say a word.

Duan Chengxuan only watched, then looked at Gu Danyan. "Why is the wangfei sleeping here?"

"My prince, the wangfei almost fainted after giving the empress dowager the acupuncture when she woke up earlier. It was the imperial physician who came to take her pulse. After learning that her pulse was weak and exhausted, he decided to rest here." Senior Servant Gui quickly explained.

On the other side, the empress dowager's face turned cold. "Xuan'er, the wangfei and wangfei are both pregnant, but you're preoccupied with the wangfei who's pregnant. Don't you care about losing your child's first wife?"

"Your son …"

"The Imperial Physician said that the princess had never recovered from her pregnancy and fell ill after the abortion. Her body was cold and her limbs were cold, but after a few months, do you know that she was unable to sleep at night and could only sweat when she woke up every day?" The empress dowager's voice was soft, but it carried a hint of anger.

Duan Chengxuan pulled up his clothes and knelt down. Gu Zixian also watched with trembling eyes and remained silent.

"Your son does owe her too much, but she …"

"There's no need for further words. This Dowager has taught you to treat your wives well since childhood. You must remember this!" When the empress dowager finished speaking, she began to cough violently. The person on the soft couch suddenly woke up, and seeing that the empress dowager was coughing incessantly, she quickly moved closer.

Gu Danyan wholeheartedly tried to check the pulse of the empress dowager. After that, he helplessly stuffed her hands back into the blanket. He felt slightly helpless: "Why is the empress dowager angry again?"

The empress dowager only held onto Gu Daiyan's hand until she saw Gu Zixian, who was sitting by the bed. She was slightly stunned, and indeed, Duan Chengxuan was standing behind her. Could it be that Duan Chengxuan had angered the empress dowager?

However, due to the severe illness, Gu Daiyan ignored it and wrote another prescription for the empress dowager. After a detailed discussion with the imperial physicians, he remembered that he had gone to the Grand Hospital to personally fry medicine and disappeared without a trace.

As Duan Cheng Xuan gazed at Gu Xuan Yan's back, she actually didn't know in her heart that she was suffering from an illness.

And why was she always so busy that she never really stopped?

Since then, he was speechless. Gu Zixian, on the other hand, got the empress dowager's favor with his obedient nature, and continued to talk about the matter until Gu Pingyan brought the soup. The empress dowager waved her hands at them: "You guys have been busy for a long time, go back and rest.

"Alright, but your illness still needs treatment. Can you allow me to enter the palace every five days?" Gu Danyan finished writing the prescription down and handed it to Senior Servant Gui. She even wrote down what she usually had conflict with Chinese medicine, "Treat it for half a year. Wait until early autumn before changing the prescription. This old illness will be cured."

Senior Servant Gui's nose soured. She really hadn't expected the empress dowager to live this long.

"Many thanks to Your Highness wangfei." Senior Servant Gui knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Gu Danyan frantically helped Senior Servant Gui up. While he was feeling helpless, he heard the empress dowager say softly, "Senior Servant Gui, give this one's identity token to Her Royal Highness. You can always come more often if you have nothing else to do. This one really likes to listen to the stories in the city."

Gu Danyan quickly bowed with a smile: "Yes, empress dowager!"
