Not long after Gu Mingyan left, the empress dowager on the bed spoke up softly.

"Xuan'er, you should bring Su Yu Wan into the mansion and take good care of her and allow her to speak freely." Xuan'er, you should take care of Su Yu Wan and allow her to gossip freely.

There was too much helplessness in the Empress Dowager's words.

Duan Chengxuan tightly clenched his fists as he felt both love and hatred towards the mother in his heart. Now that the mother and son had met with each other when they spoke, his heart was slightly moved as well.

"Your Highness!" Senior Servant Gui's expression also turned cold.

Duan Chengxuan shuddered and took a deep breath. "It's my son who's got excited."

"This Dowager knows you're strange, but do you know how scared the late emperor was of you? In order to protect you two brothers, This Dowager also had no choice but to do so." As she spoke, the empress dowager's expression changed.

Senior Servant Gui stood at the side and didn't say anything, but the three of them all knew how fearful the late emperor was of Duan Chengxuan.

A group of princes, regardless of their size, were unable to match up to his martial arts skills. The previous Emperor was timid and weak, so he was afraid that Duan Cheng Xuan would seize the opportunity to kill his father and send him to the sect for proper custody.

In the end, however, the empress dowager had relied on her family's argument to secretly do many dirty things, and had finally managed to help the current Emperor ascend to the throne. When Duan Chengxuan arrived, his royal brother had already ascended to the throne, and the powers he cultivated within the sect could only be used as the protection of the prince.

The imperial edict bestowed him the title of Jing King, while his other brothers had already died long ago and were being exiled, leaving only the two of them behind. After that, because of Su Yuwan, the emperor felt that it was difficult for him to accomplish anything, so he tried to persuade him otherwise, but to no avail.

Before the previous Emperor died, he even wrote an imperial edict, saying that he wanted to kill Duan Chengxuan. Otherwise, this child's talent would surpass the heavens, and he would be merciless.

"If it wasn't for the empress dowager blocking the imperial edict, how could Prince Jing be safe and sound?" Senior Servant Gui was even more indignant. It was also because the empress dowager had wanted to destroy the imperial edict that she had left behind such a root.

Only when the empress dowager raised her hand did Senior Servant Gui lower her head and make a sound.

"I know that Mother is doing this for my own good." Duan Chengxuan sighed helplessly, "Your son would definitely not kill his father and kill his brother to seize the throne, but regarding the matter of Gu Meiyan, your son still needs to think carefully."

"What are you thinking about?"

In terms of emotions, Gu Liuyan's character was not a problem, and he was a kind heart of a doctor.

Yu Li was born in the Prime Minister's Estate, and her medical skills were even more outstanding. If she could stay by Duan Chengxuan's side, she would definitely be able to help him stabilize his foundation, and she wouldn't make things difficult for him like Su Yu Wan.

However, Duan Chengxuan didn't think this way, "Being too intelligent isn't a good thing, not to mention, what I like is …"

"If you really don't like it at all, how could you let her stay in the mansion for an entire year?" Her Majesty sighed.

"That's not because …" Because of Su Yu Wan?

Very quickly, Duan Chengxuan went silent. He no longer believed in the secret formula that Gu Liuyan had given him. He had already sent people to the Yun clan to monitor the situation, so why didn't he want to throw her out of the estate?

The empress dowager's eyes narrowed slightly. With just a glance, she could see that there was still hope between Duan Chengxuan and Gu Daiyan.

As he said this, the mother and son actually became even more shocked.

When Gu Danyan entered, she saw that the two of them had fallen silent and did not speak. She only silently gave a few instructions to Senior Servant Gui before leaving in a hurry, not even having the time to greet the empress dowager.

However, the slight sound was enough for Duan Chengxuan to hear.

The empress dowager on the bed noticed the trace of emotion that flashed across Duan Chengxuan's face, and she helplessly waved her hand. "Go."

Duan Chengxuan hurriedly left the empress dowager's bedroom, then unhurriedly followed behind Gu Danyan.

Gu Liuyan walked very slowly beside the eunuch and the palace maid. It was unknown what she was doing, but after a while, she handed a straw rope to the young palace maid with a slight smile on her face.

The young palace maid's tolerant and happy appearance that she was happy about but didn't dare brag about caused Gu Daiyan to find it interesting. She didn't notice that Duan Chengxuan had followed her all the way out of the palace gate.

The horse carriage stopped in front of her, and before she could move, her waist was hugged by someone, which was then carried straight to the horse carriage, "You're not feeling well, why don't you go back earlier?"

"I don't know." Gu Danyan lowered his head and twisted his fingers, "Anyway, my life has nothing to do with the king. I just want to be happy for the rest of my life."

"You're the Crown Prince's consort. Could it be that someone wants your life?" Duan Chengxuan asked with a gloomy expression.

"Isn't there still Duke Jing and His Majesty? I am truly afraid of you, Prince. " Gu Danyan lightly coughed a few times. She was still holding onto a few stalks of grass as she looked at Duan Chengxuan with her blurry eyes. "I don't dare to offend you and Su Yu Wan. Can you allow me to learn some martial arts?"

Looking at Gu Danyan's listless appearance, Duan Chengxuan felt his heart ache for no reason. "What are you trying to learn martial arts for?"

"I'm afraid of death. Anyone can kidnap me, but only I can save myself." Gu Danyan slowly closed his eyes and painfully swallowed a pill into his stomach. He said almost despairingly: "In the imperial court, in the palace, who can help me within the Heavenly Flame? Who wouldn't be adding insult to injury …"

The mirage had escaped, it was as if Gu Tinyan had taken the risk himself.

The poison in her body was only because she was constantly searching for the antidote day and night.

Duan Chengxuan had a gloomy expression. "Really? "How can I remember your crafty plans …"

The person before her slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes still carried a trace of a smile as she smiled while moving closer to Duan Cheng Xuan. She slightly raised her chin. "Kill me."

A silver light flashed as Duan Cheng Xuan raised her hand to grab Gu Xuan's wrist.

The lotus seed soup was only two fingers away from his neck, and the strength was so strong that even Duan Chengxuan's wrist was faintly hurting. He glared at Gu Pingyan in rage and disbelief, knocking the lotus seed soup down from her hand as well: "Do you really want to die like this?"

The latter was stunned for a moment as she stared blankly at her empty hands. She covered her face with her hands as she sobbed, and her shoulders started to tremble as well. "I'm fine."

Duan Chengxuan had never seen her lose control like this before, so he could only pull his to his side with a gloomy expression and instruct the coachman, "Return to the mansion immediately."

The person beside him leaned on his shoulder in an unusually obedient manner. In Duan Chengxuan's heart, he faintly felt that something bad had happened.

She took Gu Dai Yan all the way back to the nameless courtyard, but when she saw the child's bed, she took a step back. When they arrived at the nameless courtyard, Gu Dingyan took a step back, but when she saw the child's bed, she took a step back.

"This King will bring her there." Duan Chengxuan pulled her out from under the hands of the young girl, Qing Dai.
