The white pigeon flapped its wings and disappeared.
Gu Liuyan was lying by the window, a snow-white robe draped over her shoulders as she stared at the ghosts.
The ghost closed the door and slowly walked in front of Gu Daiyan as if he didn't see the pigeon. He lowered his head and looked at her: "If I stop you, you won't want me anymore, right?"
"Yes." Gu Liuyan nodded. She took out an iron bell from her pocket and handed it to ghost: "I've already removed the poison from it. You can bring it to the Yun clan anytime you want."
The iron bell in his hand was very cold, but the patterns on it were like branding iron on a ghost's palm.
Phantom looked at her helplessly. "Aren't you afraid that I'll be married and have children for the rest of my life?"
"Then let's just run. I'm fine by myself." Gu Danyan shrugged helplessly: "That's your choice. Since you've chosen me, you can't run away in the future."
"I'll tell the prince when I get back."
"Then I'll kill you." Gu Liuyan narrowed her eyes and looked at him. In the end, she lazily got up from the window, straightened her body and looked at the ghost. She then looked at the horizon: "Do you know who I'm delivering this letter to?"
"I don't know." Phantom shook his head obediently.
"Third Prince." The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth twitched as she smiled and said, "I've made this matter clear. If he can't even solve this small problem for the commoners, then I'll have to find a better partner in the future."
He opened his eyes wide again and looked at Gu Danyan in disbelief.
He was always by Gu Danyan's side and knew nothing about it, and even Duan Chengxuan didn't know about this.
For five full days, Qi Yanbai didn't find any trace of those people. He only found the strange mountain god's wooden sculpture at the top of the mountain.
Today, the empress dowager's carriage arrived late, causing everyone in the Yue Shan City to stick their heads out to look. However, they were still very cautious. Duan Chengxuan rode on his black horse as he followed the carriage into the city.
The empress dowager lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "Why aren't you going to see your princess?"
"Yes, Imperial Mother." Duan Chengxuan cupped his hands slightly, then spurred his horse towards the courtyard house.
Yue Shan city was an important military location that he personally trained. Qi Yanbai and the other officials were all carefully selected by him, and they secretly formed a huge force here. The real commoners were basically the families of the soldiers, so everything was in order.
When he arrived at the front of the yard, Gu Tinyan was sitting on the steps with a large wooden chest in her arms. She was wearing a light yellow robe and her face was covered.
Their gazes met, and Duan Chengxuan confidently dismounted from his horse. He walked up to her and asked, "Who are you waiting for at the door?"
"Waiting for you." With that said, Gu Liuyan put the heavy wooden chest into his arms and continued: "The Mirage appeared again. There are two medicine pillows and some herbs in here. You should bring them back to Su Yuwan for her use. Don't let her get poisoned for no reason."
Finally, Gu Liuyan put on the hat and went back to call out the ghosts.
Ghost respectfully saluted him, as if he wanted to stand by Duan Chengxuan's side. Gu Danyan tugged on his sleeve and said, "You're now mine."
Ghost glanced at Duan Chengxuan with a troubled expression.
The latter just held the heavy case in her arms, thinking that Gu Liuyan was jealous, but she hadn't come here for so long. She thought that she was in love with Su Yuwan, so when the cold words reached her mouth, it was already gone: "Follow her."
There was a slight sense of loss in the ghost's eyes, whereas Gu Pingyan glanced at Duan Chengxuan, but privately exchanged a glance with the ghost.
Good acting.
She dragged Phantom Demon inside, muttering instructions for Ghost to organize the medicinal herbs she had collected earlier.
Duan Chengxuan passed the wooden chest to the person beside him. Qi Yanbai also received the news and hurried over to pay his respects. "Your Highness!"
"Is it really a mirage?" Duan Cheng Xuan's face turned black.
"Yes!" We found the mountain god's wooden sculpture, but what's strange is that the Mirage's martial arts seems to be very strong this time. Lord Ghost's shoulder was injured by a strange weapon. " Qi Yanbai also lowered his voice and then said, "In addition, the princess seems to be very curious about the situation in Changping Village. She said that the villagers aren't willing to go out, and that they've been probing it for several days already."
"I know, you guys go serve the Queen Mother." Duan Chengxuan waved his hands and followed behind him into the courtyard.
Upon entering, the courtyard was empty. Aside from the medical books in the room, there was only a box of food that had just arrived. The food was already cold, but Gu Pingyan was still able to enjoy it.
"Someone, come and change the dishes." Duan Chengxuan stopped her actions of picking up the dishes and sat down by himself. "How do you eat your three meals a day after leaving the prince's mansion?"
"Eat if you're hungry." Gu Danyan didn't stop him. He only pointed at the ghost for a while and then put down his bowl and chopsticks: "I already got the ghost next to you coming over. You're so nice to me this time, is there something you want me to help you with?"
"Do I look like that to you?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows, "Besides, I feel that this Yue Shan city and Changping Village are both very strange, but this Lord Qi seems to be giving you face and not letting me know anything. So I'm even more curious."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Once mother's matter is resolved, I'll bring you back first." Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice, then pulled Gu Mingyan to his side. "The Zhu siblings aren't moving. This Mirage has someone else within it."
Speaking of the Zhu siblings, Gu Pingyan sneered: "I didn't expect that when I helped them out with good intentions, they would come to kill me. Not everyone had the Mountain God pattern, so how could they fake it? Or could it be that you've recruited them, and they find me unpleasant to deal with? "
Both of them were silent.
The two of them naturally knew that the other party was scheming deeply, so Gu Liuyan had purposely asked Qi Yanbai many questions over the past few days. At this moment, she was obviously asking Duan Chengxuan about things.
Duan Chengxuan naturally knew that Gu Pingyan was suspicious and would meddle in other people's business, so when he heard the questioning tone, he was slightly relieved and continued, "I don't need to recruit any martial artists."
"But you have to admit that the mirage has done more than you think." Gu Danyan looked at him seriously: "Even if this mirage is fake, their goal is still me."
Gu Liuyan had said that he had been poisoned that night and that ghosts had saved him. The only thing he didn't say was that that person was from the Two Elements of Creation, and that he was just a white shadow.
"The Zhu siblings cannot harm ghosts." Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice.
"But who in this world can use poison like the Mirage? I fell asleep unconscious. " Gu Liuyan retorted with a question, "If the Zhu siblings no longer make an enemy of me, then I have no enemies. They are here for me on purpose, just who does the Prince think they are?"
Duan Chengxuan's hand that had taken out the cup stopped. "They came for me."
