After being silent for a long time, a low laugh came out from under the black cloth.

Gu Liuyan's eyes turned cold. The knife in her hand was about to fall down, but it was unable to stop the man from twisting her wrist quickly, so he did it much faster than before. He directly pushed one of her hands behind her back, and the other hand's wrist was also buckled, pressing her face down on the bed.

"Not bad." A familiar voice came from behind him.

Gu Mingyan groaned. She had already let go of the hands behind her back, and the two knives in her hands had been taken away. The man's warm breath fell on the side of her neck, even the collar on the back of her neck was gently taken off.

Gu Danyan wanted to roll over, but the man behind her pulled up her sleeve patiently. In the darkness, he could clearly see that there were some bruises on her fair skin.

He didn't know why he was here tonight, nor did he know why he was trying to test her.

But she liked to see Gu Daiyan's smile, that sentence about dying together ignited his lust.

"You came so late just to scare me? At least let me turn over and make it more comfortable. " Gu Liuyan felt the strength on her other hand increase a lot, and the man almost attached his entire body to it.

"It's time to make you more comfortable." The man's voice was hoarse.

Gu Liuyan frowned slightly. The next moment, she was completely flipped over and thrown into the bed by the man.

The black cloth on the man's face was thrown to the ground, and two daggers were placed on the table. She could only passively endure the man's rough movements, and look at him as if he were a wild beast.

As if he really loved her.

Gu Danyan's face darkened in the dark, but his hands pushed his chest lightly: "I'm very tired."

"You actually want to die with an assassin you don't know?" As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, her actions carried a trace of fierceness. As her fingertips caressed under her collarbone, it wasn't unexpected for him to feel some bite marks that hadn't yet healed.

It was something that he had left behind. Gu Poyan couldn't get rid of it, so he could only close his eyes and slowly keep up with the man's movements. He mumbled: "Don't mess around, Prince."

The man on her body was stunned for a moment. Looking at her obedient appearance, he felt his heart palpitate, but the movements of his men became more gentle.

The next morning, Gu Dai Yan woke up early. Qing Dai was not around, so she casually found some clothes in the closet and put them on. As she was putting on her coat, the man's hand passed under her arm and helped her to straighten it out.

Gu Daiyan was slightly stunned. What medicine did Duan Chengxuan eat wrong this time?

"I heard you're going to help the Prime Minister recruit a saint warrior." Duan Chengxuan's voice was light, but his chin was resting on Gu Daiyan's shoulder as his two hands embraced her waist. "This isn't something you should do."

"But he told me to do it. I don't want him to say it again." Gu Danyan walked forward a little and broke away from his embrace. She went to her desk and found a few pieces of paper. She looked at them carefully and said, "I forgot the day. I have to go to the palace first. I almost forgot."

After tidying himself up in a fluster, just as Gu Liuyan was about to leave the manor with her medicine case, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from behind. Duan Chengxuan pulled her up and said, "Capture her well."

Gu Danyan nodded and obediently carried the small medicine case in her arms as she followed Duan Chengxuan in his official uniform to the Imperial Palace.

At the door, Gu Mingyan landed on the ground, puzzled. "Why are you riding today?"

"Alright, I'll send you to Meng Xu's place." Duan Chengxuan had his men watch his horse as he casually walked inside.

Gu Liu Yan felt that Duan Chengxuan had become different. With a quick thought, she realized that if she was useless, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't treat her like this. He only laughed at himself and followed the palace maid inside.

Today, she chatted with the empress dowager about four famous books. After such a long period of treatment, the empress dowager had stopped coughing. Now that summer was approaching, the empress dowager liked to bask in the sun.

Before, she had thought that the empress dowager didn't like her, but now, the empress dowager liked her to an extreme degree.

The empress had repeatedly tried to find her, but the empress had refused. "You're crafty, so don't get involved with her."

Gu Danyan, on the other hand, was thinking, "I promised Lady Xu that I would give her the prescription to prolong her life, but I haven't. The empress has lost her backing, so I'm in no hurry. What's strange is that she hasn't started to cause trouble for the King's Mansion yet."

Could she have guessed wrongly?

She was stunned for a moment when the eunuch at the door hurried in. "Esteemed empress dowager, esteemed wangfei, His Highness Duke of Jing is waiting at the door for Your Highness wangfei."

Gu Danyan raised an eyebrow. The empress dowager smiled as she narrowed her eyes. She patted Gu Danyan's hand. "Hurry and go."

Helpless, Gu Daiyan had no choice but to go out and follow Duan Cheng Xuan out shoulder to shoulder.

"The empress has come to find you again?"

"Has the queen been to see you?"

The two of them spoke up at the same time and then looked at each other.

Only after he dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs behind him did Duan Cheng Xuan return to his usual indifferent appearance. "She has already sought me out and threatened me with the power of a court official. If I refuse to help her keep her position, she will support the Second Prince."

It turned out that it wasn't because he didn't want to cause trouble, but because he didn't know about it.

"She came to find me, but the empress dowager stopped her. Whatever she wanted to do, the empress dowager could see clearly." Gu Daiyan also answered him. After a long silence, she continued: "Is the Second Prince very powerful?"

"He is not very big himself, but ever since the fall of the crown prince, he has had a great victory. It's just that the one this king has been paying attention to is the third prince." Duan Cheng Xuan's face was gloomy, and it was unknown if the Third Prince was enlightened or what. He sent people over to kill dozens of corrupt officials, and they were all people who saw things in front of the citizens.

I heard that the soil at the entrance of the vegetable market was dyed red. Even a few heavy rains couldn't wash away the dark red.

Now that he had gained the hearts of the people, he did not know what else he would do to fill the gap.

"Third Prince?" Gu Daiyan pretended not to know. She wanted to see if Duan Chengxuan would tell her about this.

"He seems to have his own ideas on how to exterminate bandits. My lord was killed, his lord was killed, and now that he has overpowered me, I've sent some men to find trouble for him. This contribution the Second Prince cannot handle, nor can he take it down."

Duan Chengxuan clearly knew of this.

The third prince had been silent for a long time. Now that he had targeted the hearts of the people, not the emperor, he had to be on guard.

Gu Danyan felt helpless in his heart. Duan Cheng Xuan only trusted him by three points, and she only said three points.

"Why did you kill him?" Is it difficult to make peace? " Gu Liuyan still pretended not to know and continued to ask.

"Occupying the mountain is the king. Naturally, it is better to kill them all." However, Duan Chengxuan retorted with a question, "It's a waste of my Navy Tide Land to keep useless people."

"True." Gu Danyan nodded with a smile, causing Duan Chengxuan to be unable to discern what she was thinking.

Duan Chengxuan lived in a lofty position, and he was heartless, so he didn't know the feelings of the poor. He was only suitable for the battlefield, so how could he be the emperor?
