C260

Dark dungeon, unerasable smell of blood and damp.

Dressed in a prison uniform, Duan Chengye's hands were shackled by heavy shackles. His hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot, but the moment he saw Gu Danyan, his eyes lit up and he staggered to his side.

Duan Chengxuan stood not far away as he looked at the two, and his expression became even gloomier.

Gu Danyan knelt on the ground, reached out his hand to help him tidy up his hair, then smiled at him: "Who said he wanted to build his career? Did he come back to find me?"

Duan Chengye looked at the wooden cat and red rope at her waist and grinned. "I don't have a choice this time, but I can at least meet you once."

Gu Danyan sniffled with a bit of heartache: "Did you really collude with the enemy and betray the country?"

"No, I don't dare." Duan Chengye laughed without a care in the world, then sat cross-legged on the ground and rubbed his head. "I'm afraid that you will know that I colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and will never see me again."

"It seems like I'm right to come see you now." Both of Gu Danyan's hands passed through the cage and grabbed his dirty face like they were treasured. Seeing that Duan Chengye was still in a daze, she laughed lowly: "I still can't fall for you, sorry."

Duan Chengye's eyes widened slightly as he helplessly replied, "I'm not worthy of you either."

"If you really want to match up to me, then come out from here." Gu Danyan's fingertip lightly touched under his ear, gently rubbing it: "Although I can't be husband and wife, it's not a problem to be friends."

A pair of hands lightly touched the back of her hand. Duan Chengye somewhat fondly sucked in the warmth from the two sides of his face, but the smile on his face gradually faded, leaving behind only a faint loneliness. "Duan Chengye is already dead."

"Aren't you …"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has already announced an hour ago that the Sixth Prince, Duan Chengye, will meet his death at the border." Cheng Shan opened his mouth quietly.

A trace of surprise flashed past Gu Danyan's face, then he looked at Duan Cheng Xuan with a gloomy expression. "This is what you've done."

"Since you've finished reading, then you also know that there will never be a Sixth Prince in this world again." Duan Chengxuan walked with large strides to the side of Gu Daiyan, wanting to make a move and pull her away.

On the other hand, Gu Danyan pulled Duan Chengye over from the cage with a sullen face, and hastily gave him his money bag and valuable items. He looked him in the eye and said, "Live well, find a girl you love."

"Yan'Er, but I …" Duan Chengye was still reluctant.

"The reason you were able to survive was because your father knew that you were his son. Since he allowed you to live, you must preserve your life in the future and leave Sky Flame. There are still many sights in this world." Gu Danyan pulled him to her with a smile. Even though she was separated by these iron rods, she could still place a kiss on his forehead: "Thank you for liking me."

Duan Chengye stared blankly at Gu Danyan, who only revealed a bitter smile.

I can't let her just leave like this …

"Let the Imperial Uncle and you and Li, you come with me, we go to Carefree."

"Didn't you want to know why I fell for you? It was during the lantern festival five years ago, when you disguised yourself as a man to save my personal servant girl, I followed you and watched you take my servant girl back to the mansion. When your hair scattered, I fell in love with you."

Gu Liuyan was slightly stunned and he wanted to continue speaking, but Duan Chengxuan had already pulled her up with great force. "Let's go."

Gu Danyan was dragged away and could only yell at him, "That's the beauty beside me, not me. I've never been a woman in disguise before."

Duan Chengye was trying his best to go see her, but Cheng Shan stopped him and said in a low voice, "Your highness ordered me to send you out of Sky Flame later on, to fend for myself."

Duan Chengye resentfully smashed his fist on the nearby wall, the pain causing him to be in extreme pain.

He never expected that before he left, he would let Yan'Er lie to him!

After leaving the Sky Prison at the justice courts, Gu Pingyan returned to her usual calm demeanor and allowed Duan Chengxuan to drag her into the carriage. Her wrist was blue, but she did not feel any pain as she opened her mouth and said, "His father knows how to spare his life. You are his royal uncle, yet you framed him like this."

"He's my biggest obstacle." Duan Chengxuan angrily pulled her onto his body and sat on it, wishing for nothing more than to rub him into his own body. "You like him that much?"

"I didn't like him." Gu Daiyan felt helpless. Perhaps Duan Chengye would be able to keep love at first sight in the depths of his heart, but when she arrived at this place, what she saw was a dark red color and Duan Chengxuan's ice-cold eyes.

But she knew that a person like Duan Chengxuan caused one to be terrified.

"But I'll never forget what he once liked about me." Gu Liuyan smiled: "Your Gu family is infatuated. If you like them, then you like them. If you don't like them, then you don't like them."

In the next moment, Duan Chengxuan fiercely grabbed onto her lips and roughly absorbed her aura.

Gu Danyan closed her eyes in despair. Of course, she also wanted to leave early, but this step of hers was wrong, and every step she took was wrong.

Forced to accept the man's rough actions, when Duan Chengxuan raised his head, she could only breathlessly look at him. "What he likes is the blue daisies!"

"You didn't want him to worry about you." Duan Chengxuan was even more furious. He already knew that the reason he said those last words was because he hoped that Duan Chengye wouldn't like her anymore.

After being seen through, Gu Danyan only laughed: "I thought I would have a way to clean up his grievances, but I didn't expect that you would be faster than me."

"Because I know you'll help him." Duan Chengxuan's hand tightly clasped onto her waist. "I do feel that you love him quite a bit, but do you really want to live a carefree life with him!?"

"Yes." "But no." Gu Danyan looked straight at Duan Chengxuan. "As long as you're here, I'll forever be imprisoned within the estate and let you slaughter me. Why can't you let me go?"

This casual sentence had thoroughly infuriated Duan Chengxuan.

As soon as he returned to the medicine house, Duan Chengxuan carried the struggling people into the room. Without caring about Gu Panyan's struggling, he skinned her cleanly, revealing a large portion of her snow-white skin.

When he saw the word 'Yun' below her collarbone, Duan Chengxuan fiercely bit down, causing his eyes to go white from the pain. With a scream, the man had already ripped off his hairband and pinned both of her hands onto the bed.

Before the storm, she only heard the man's threatening words: "In the future, don't let This King see you being so close to any man."

The brutality that followed almost ignited her. Gu Daiyan bit her lower lip tightly, and the man's actions finally eased up a little. When she was half asleep, she seemed to feel the man's hand gently brush against her face, and she said in a low voice, "You belong to me."
