He wanted the emperor to think that these ministers were secretly colluding with the mirage, so he had doubts in his heart.
The letter also mentioned that they should not trust the King. It was highly likely that the Mirage Faction would be held responsible and Gu Liuyan would then place the secret of their Zhu Family into the Yun Family.
This was a trick of the mind under the eyes of the Son of Heaven.
"So childish, how could she possibly succeed?"
"Then what if she makes people think that Prince Jing has something to do with the notorious Mirage?" Zhu Yan quickened his pace and brought the Scarlet Scorpion to the silver tavern. "She wants to pull Prince Jing into the water."
"Why?" The Scarlet Scorpion shook its head even more. "Who doesn't know that the King Jing's achievements are great? Even if she isn't favored, as long as she is under the protection of the King Jing, she will always be rich and powerful. If possible, she can even become an empress …"
"God knows, we should first do as she says." Zhu Yan's face was gloomy.
Originally, he came here today to ask Gu Tinyan to give them some security, but what Gu Tinyan gave them was a challenge, and it could even be said to be a naked threat.
Coming here, if she was unwilling, she would take advantage of this opportunity to expose them to the envoys of Er Dan. That was why she mentioned that he had merely used the same voice to fool them.
"What's she worth for us to follow her about?" The Scarlet Scorpion rolled her eyes. She would never forget the feeling of helplessness she felt when her father's life was hanging by a thread.
"By the time I reacted, she had already grasped onto my weak point." Zhu Yan was also helpless.
The Scarlet Scorpion sighed lightly. "Brother, you've been eaten up by two women in your entire life, even though the meaning is different."
Hadn't they been led away by the nose, following the practice of taking care of the cigarette lists for a long time?
"Moreover, both of them were chosen by Duan Chengxuan. I really don't know if I should say that this man was lucky enough to obtain Su Yuwan's infatuation, or if I should laugh at him for provoking the great Buddha, Gu Danyan." Zhu Yan also laughed at himself.
Right now, they could only temporarily stay under Gu Daiyan's maidservants.
Arriving at the inn, Yin Gou only left the two of them after reading the letter and the veil. She was still busy opening up the inn, so she truly believed in them. She even bought a few sets of beautiful clothes for the Scarlet Scorpion.
"I usually don't wear any good clothes when I'm by Miss's side. Since you're a Miss, you should wear some good clothes as well." Yin Qiuyi smiled as she cleaned up the room for her. "But before this, I thought that the people in the Mirage were all extremely vicious, but I saw that both of you were rather polite."
The Scarlet Scorpion felt somewhat embarrassed after being praised, but after a short while, it had gotten familiar with Silver Wing.
However, at this time, Zhu Yan ran into Qi Lin at the door. Qi Lin didn't know about this, he just assumed that the siblings were Gu Daiyan's friends, and directly put down the food box. "Good, you come and serve some food. I need to go up and see how Yin Gou is doing."
Zhu Yan was helpless. It had been a long time since someone had ordered him to do this.
However, he hadn't tried such a leisurely lifestyle for a long time.
Gu Danyan held Mo Mo's hand, almost taking away half of Sky Flame City.
Compared to his usual irritating appearance, the Gu Liuyan of today had lost her veil, and looked like a child in front of Mo. Now, as the sun was setting, she grabbed Mo's collar with one hand and followed him barefoot into the river.
The river water just passed Mo's ankles, and Mo happily splashed out a lot of water.
"The night here is so bright! Can we still continue playing!? "
"Of course." Gu Daiyan lifted her up from the cold river: "But not today."
"Why —" Amo dragged out his words, grabbed Gu Daiyan's wrist, and slipped into her arms. "Can I sleep with my sister tonight? Will you tell me some more interesting recipes tomorrow? "
He wanted to agree immediately, but when Gu Pingyan went ashore, he saw a big hand reaching out for him.
While she was hesitating, Duan Chengxuan had already pulled her over and had Qing Dai put on the shoes and socks for Ah Mo. Duan Chengxuan then personally put Ah Mo down. "She's sick and will infect you."
"Alright then." Amo lowered his head dejectedly, but she was still a child after all. If it was not good for her to sleep alone in a unfamiliar place, then Fairy Qingmei could only pull her over and comfort her.
Gu Daiyan slowly put on her shoes and socks. Amo had already dragged her into the crowd. She smiled helplessly and wanted to follow along.
However, his wrist was stopped by Duan Chengxuan. "You're still sick."
"Nothing serious, and I haven't been this happy in a long time." Gu Liuyan laughed, but she still shook off Duan Chenxuan's hand and dashed into the crowd like a child with a gentle smile on her face.
Looking at her back figure, Duan Chengxuan actually accompanied her without a single complaint all the way back to the medicine house.
Amo reluctantly followed Qing Dai into the room to wash, while Gu Daiyan put quite a lot of herbs into the bathtub. When he walked out wearing only his inner clothes, his hair was still wet on his shoulders.
Noticing that Duan Cheng Xuan was still here, she was slightly stunned. "Why are you still here?"
"You want a child."
Duan Chengxuan's words were like fine silver needles that pierced her heart.
Clutching the clothes on her chest, Gu Danyan lowered her head: "I want stability even more. If you continue to stay here, I'll let Su Yuwan continue to make her move against me. I'd rather you leave."
Duan Chengxuan paused as he wrote the document. "Wan'er would not do such a thing."
"Is that so?" Gu Danyan smiled as he lightly wiped his hair before sitting beside Duan Chengxuan. "Since Your Highness wants to stay, then I don't need to sleep tonight. I coincidentally have to carefully search for the antidote to the Mirage Poison."
Duan Cheng Xuan didn't stop them, and the two of them occupied their respective sides, not interfering with each other.
Gu Danyan spent most of his time flipping through ancient books and rummaging through boxes for tools, while Duan Chengxuan quietly went through official documents at the side. Their only contact was to retrieve them when their arms came into contact.
In the middle of the night, even Duan Chengxuan felt sleepy, but Gu Mingyan only waved her hand at him. "If Your Highness is tired, then go sleep on your own. I already have a bit of an idea."
"This King came here to let you have a good rest."
Duan Chengxuan suddenly flew into a rage without any reason, directly picking his up onto the bed. "If you still want to have the strength to accompany A'Mo to play around tomorrow."
Duan Chengxuan's hand was pinching her waist, and the burning heat beneath his body caused Gu Ming to smoke. He could only obediently close his eyes.
