The torrential rain poured down.

Gu Liuyan was in a hurry. He did not have time to worry about getting half his body wet.

When the maidservant saw that the palace maids and eunuchs were left far behind, she said softly, "Miss must have deliberately brought up the topic of phoenix gall."

"Of course, if I were to just say that I'm going to Yue Shan City, the empress dowager would definitely think that something is wrong with me." Gu Daiyan's face darkened. He wiped off the water stains on his shoulder and saw that most of her body was outside the umbrella. She snatched it up and held it in her hand.

"That's against the rules." "Yes," Di Di reminded her in a low voice.

"You're my sister, so I don't care about the rules." Gu Mingyan moved closer to Qing Dai and finally slowed down her pace. She used an oil-paper umbrella to cover the two of them before continuing, "Moreover, not only do I have to show that I'm trying to curry favor with Duan Chengxuan, I also have to show that I care about the Empress Dowager as well. Only then will she be at ease."

"Why? Isn't it easier to arouse suspicion by trying to curry favor with her like this? " Qing Dai suddenly felt that the rain was not as cold as before.

"This dynasty has more intentions than others. If you beat around the bush, it would instead make people more suspicious." What's more, she said something when she was with the empress dowager. She truly treated the empress dowager as a filial mother.

Qing Dai followed her out of the palace with quick steps, and hastened her steps, "My lady is kind."

"My heart is full of venom. Even though I said I'd be filial to the empress dowager, didn't I use that as an excuse?" Gu Danyan looked at her helplessly.

"Then when you go to Yue Shan City, will you still help the empress dowager manage her back?" When she finished, she saw Gu Daiyan running out of the room with her eyes slightly wide open, holding on to the heavy rain. She said, "You and Phantom Demon went there quickly, so I went to help out with Young Master Meng. I was waiting for you guys to come back!"

Gu Daiyan opened her mouth and looked at the back view of Qing Dai. She smiled helplessly and quickly walked into the palace.

When he returned to the manor, Cheng Shan and his men were still guarding the door. Gu Liuyan threw the oil-paper umbrella into Cheng Shan's arms and smiled proudly: "When the rain stops, I'll go out."

"Your Highness, the prince has ordered that you are not to go out." Cheng Shan was holding his oil-paper umbrella, and his eyes were already squinted.

"Let the prince personally ask the empress dowager for orders." Gu Daiyan strolled into the long corridor.

Cheng Shan's expression changed. He didn't know what sort of method Gu Mingyan had used to persuade the empress dowager.

After hurriedly reporting this matter to Duan Cheng Xuan, Duan Cheng Xuan immediately stood up and rushed to the Imperial Palace to inquire about it. The empress dowager saw the change in his expression and could only tell her that she was going to Yue Shan City to soak in a hot spring.

However, she did not mention anything about the matter regarding the phoenix gallbladder.

This Su Yu Wan was the split between her two sons. As her mother, she didn't want to kill Duan Cheng Xuan, so she could only hide it from her, in case a second Duan Ling'er appeared.

"At this moment, the wind and rain are very heavy. What will happen if mother is in trouble while on the road? My son is busy with matters, so he can't follow me. " Duan Chengxuan had a gloomy expression.

Could it be that Gu Danyan had only used this reason to convince his mother?

"There's no need for you to follow me. Recently, This Dowager heard that Little Four and his official wife had a conflict. This Dowager is preparing to bring the two of them along and resolve it along the way." Her Majesty also found a reason.

"Bringing the Fourth Prince along was also Yan'Er's decision?"

"Xuan'er, you don't seem to believe Yan'Er." The empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly. In her heart, she was more convinced of Gu Daiyan's words. Although they still loved each other after entering the palace, as a mother, she had forgotten that there was a girl, Su Yuwan, who sowed discord between them.

Having his thoughts exposed, Duan Chengxuan nodded with a dark face, "Although my son likes Yan'er, he has to be on his guard against her craftiness. Moreover, she wants to go to Yue Shan City to help his son treat a mother's illness, so mother's agreement to it is really inappropriate."

At this point, the Empress dowager slammed the table. "What's wrong with her treating your subordinate's mother?"

"What the son wants is for the subordinates to get rid of their feelings." Duan Cheng Xuan raised her head, and her eyes were icy cold.

"But This Dowager didn't let you get rid of your feelings! It was Su Yu Wan who allowed you to regain your true feelings of humanity, but now that you look at you, your heart is filled with suspicion. Why do you think Yan'Er is so determined to help treat your subordinates? Is it for herself? " Her Majesty looked at him in disappointment and shook her head repeatedly.

At this point, even Duan Chengxuan had nothing to say in response.

There was no benefit in roping in ghosts and ghosts from Gu Daiyan.

At this moment, the rain gradually lessened.

Gu Liuyan had also finished packing his things, but he was still busy rummaging through his things, looking for the prescription.

The ghost stood silently by the side the entire time. When Xiao Yu stopped and Gu Danyan picked up some large and small bags and stuffed them into his arms, he asked her hoarsely, "Princess, why did you do this for me? I'm just a servant. As long as you give me the prescription …"

Gu Danyan's expression changed and he didn't dare to continue.

"Because I can't sit back and do nothing." Gu Danyan looked at him seriously. She even held her hand which was full of calluses and whispered, "Moreover, you are not a servant, you are my master."

The ghost felt the tip of his nose turn sour.

Outside the window, the sky lit up the dark clouds, and two birds flew away, chirping away.

On the other hand, Gu Daiyan stuffed everything into his arms and smiled at him, "Everything will be fine. Let's go."

"Alright." Phantom nodded and followed him into the carriage. He had originally planned on having two people, but now there were two coachmen.

Gu Danyan dragged him into the carriage and said, "Rest well these few days. If your mother sees your haggard appearance, she will definitely worry."

As he spoke, he stuffed a piping hot biscuit into his hands.

The ghost blankly nodded his head. As he ate the cake in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Gu Daiyan was also holding a big cake and chewing it, but his mind was far away and his heart felt like it was deep in a pond.

In her previous life, her parents had left in a hurry, but she didn't have the time to end the operation in her hands, nor did she see the last time. She only remembered that when she went to her parents' bedside, her body underneath the blanket was ice-cold, something she had never seen before.

She could only save the lives of others, but not the lives of those around her.

Looking at the reddened eyes of the ghosts, she could only smile helplessly.

He hoped that his mother would meet him once. Regardless of whether he treated her well or not, as long as she gave him a look, it would be enough.

The carriage sped on, and Liu'er, who had heard everything, sighed softly, "Why is the wangfei so stubborn?"

Seeing Liu'er's injured appearance, the well-dressed woman laughed. "However, she is indeed very similar to her mother. She can do whatever she wants, much more elegant than us."
