Along the way back to the medicine house, Qing Di only lit some Calm Incense before Gu Pingyan fell asleep. He took off his veil and wore a black and blue eye under his makeup. The swelling on his face had not completely disappeared.

"What the hell is going on?" Duan Cheng Xuan stood outside the door with her hands behind her back and had a gloomy expression.

"Princess can't give up on her former child. She misses it day and night, and there are often people poking at her sore spot. After a long time, she won't be able to forget about it, and she won't be able to sleep at night either."

"So she used a knife to kill me?" Duan Chengxuan remembered it clearly. Gu Liuyan had said at that time that the lotus seed soup was a medical knife and could not see the killing blood, yet today …

"That won't happen. It's just that yesterday, the wangfei came back to say that the empress dowager doesn't seem to like her. She's very disappointed." "When the wangfei learned of the death of her grandfather, she looked calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with regret. She originally wanted to show more respect and respect to the empress dowager, but the empress dowager seemed to believe what the prince had said and seemed to be disgusted with her. She didn't sleep last night."

It really gave him a headache.

Gu Mingyan must have misunderstood when the empress dowager reprimanded him.

Before she could react, the young woman beside her had already knelt down, tears streaming down her face. "Please be magnanimous, and spare my young lady. Although she does as she pleases, her heart is full of holes. As long as you don't write anything, my young lady will be free."

Looking at the servant-maid kneeling on the ground, it wasn't as if Duan Chengxuan didn't want her to use a letter of rest to drive her out of the prince's estate.

Unfortunately, his mind was filled with Gu Meiyan's figure: "Have Chengshan send all the official documents here."

Duan Chengxuan ignored the pleading gaze of Qing Dai and returned to his room. He sat by the side of the desk and couldn't help but take an extra look at Gu Danyan who was lying on the bed as he slightly frowned.

Didn't you always want a child?

Gu Liuyan woke up in the heat. Her firm chest was pressed tightly against her own chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She was very familiar with the calluses on her large hands as they wandered around the place. She vaguely rejected Duan Chengxuan, then half propped herself up as she quickly pulled up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. Her legs lightly trembled as she said, "Go away."

"I'll stay with you." Duan Chengxuan's voice was still slightly hoarse.

Gently placing Gu Danyan's hand into his own, Duan Chengxuan saw that Gu Danyan didn't show any signs of resisting and only slowly moved his body closer. He carefully kissed the tears that were rolling down the corners of Gu Danyan's eyes, and then completely kneaded her into his embrace as if she were a precious treasure.

It was a chaotic scene.

When the heat dissipated and the people beside her fell asleep, Gu Danyan put on a coat and dragged his exhausted body out of the small room. When he arrived outside the door, Qin Guan suddenly opened his eyes as he looked at her with his bright eyes: "Miss."

"Come out with me." A faint smile appeared on Gu Danyan's face.

"Alright, I'll go get you something thicker." Qing Dai rubbed her hands together, wrapping Gu Daiyan tightly within. Then, she lifted the lantern and followed behind her.

Walking on Sky Flame Street during the night, Gu Mingyan tidied up her clothes and brought Qing Dai to the unrenovated inn.

Yin Gou hadn't slept for the entire night. When he saw the red mark on Gu Pingyan's neck, his eyes flashed with pain: "Miss, it looks like you've succeeded."

"I even conceived the baby for him. It's no different now." Gu Danyan sat down by himself.

Seated opposite of him was the black-clothed Duan Chengrui. He studied Gu Danyan from head to toe and said, "You've come to tell me how you can take revenge on him?"

"The one who took revenge on me was Su Yuwan." The corners of Gu Mingyan's mouth raised, and her fingertips traced the line of her neck. Just now, when she was lying by Duan Chenxuan's side, she even thought that she still loved him.

When the night wind blew, the faint feelings of love disappeared completely.

"I have only come here to tell you that Duan Chengxuan loves me. He is destined to not be able to wholeheartedly give his love to Su Yuwan, and I have the ability to gain his trust as well."

"You added so many chips, what do you want me to do?" Duan Chengrui didn't understand.

"It's about Meng Xu." Gu Liuyan took a roll of paper from Yin Qiuyi's hands. It was an essay written during Meng Xu's Spring Festival. Each word was worth its weight in gems. Anyone who read it would be treated as a talent, even the current emperor.

Duan Chengrui had originally wanted to control this matter himself, but last night, Silverymoon had left the estate and hurried over to his residence to retrieve his essay, then had him meet his here this morning.

"I will naturally try to rope him in."

"Then I'll ask the third prince to give him to my father after the argument. In this way, you can try to rope him in and meet with him from time to time. This way, you can be sure of his loyalty to the Prime Minister's Estate." Gu Danyan's expression sank. "What I want to do is naturally not let Duan Cheng Xuan see the slightest bit of carelessness."

"Doing this is too risky. Royal Uncle is smarter than you think." Duan Chengrui shook his head: "Moreover, Imperial Uncle has always been aware of your relationship with Meng Xu, so my actions are too obvious."

However, if the Third Prince didn't have the intention to compete for talent, then based on his personality, he wouldn't really promote Meng Xu. Only when he felt a sense of crisis would Gu Cheng take the risk to do so.

Gu Danyan said helplessly: "He won't know. I'll be his right hand."

"Royal Uncle hates women the most." Duan Chengrui kept feeling that he didn't really trust Gu Danyan.

"Why doesn't the third prince dare to gamble? Even if he loses, Meng Xu is still your man." Gu Liuyan shook her head helplessly: "I will go find Meng Xu tomorrow and persuade him to be of use to my father. You only have today's time to think."

"Are you threatening me?" Duan Chengrui raised his eyebrows.

"Who asked you to not trust me. If you don't want to, then I still have the choice of being the fourth prince or the sixth prince." Gu Liuyan's eyes were sharp. She had already handed over enough chips, but Duan Chengrui was still used to being cautious and cautious.

As for Meng Xu's matter, it had to be done without delay. Only by allowing Meng Xu to climb higher and attract more attention would she be able to secretly sow discord between his and Duan Chengxuan's familiar old subjects. Only by doing so would he be able to slowly dissipate his power.

However, she would naturally not tell Duan Chengrui. After all, his hidden influence was in the imperial court, and at that time, it would be impossible for Gu Danyan to not expose his power to Duan Chengxuan.

In his entire life, he had never dared to compete with another person in such a brazen manner. However, if he were to give up now, he was afraid that he would never be able to stand out again: "Alright, I'll take a gamble."

"In that case, I will inform Meng Xu tomorrow. However, I cannot guarantee that His Highness will be able to obtain his loyalty." The corner of Gu Ming Yan's mouth curled up, and after a simple handshake from Duan Chenrui, she slowly left along with Qin Dai.
