On the sunlit Boat Lake, the guqin of the night never stopped.

In the Prince's Mansion, only Phoenix Cry Garden remained peaceful. Even its master rarely stayed here.

Or perhaps Duan Cheng Xuan was dissatisfied with Gu Xuan Yan and had even chosen the courtyard next to Phoenix Cry Garden to set up a stage. All she wanted to do was to make Su Yu Wan smile, cause a ruckus throughout the day and night, and once again, Gu Danyan would get up late into the night and walk outside while wearing her coat.

A ghost guarding the night fell from the roof, "Didn't you say you want to compete with Su Yuwan for the throne?"

"When the poison breaks out in the Minister of Revenue's residence, he will come to find me." Gu Moyan sighed. She had been very busy these past few days. The private school kids had even eaten poisonous mushrooms, which had caused her to run over to the Apocalypse Hall every day. She would only be able to sleep for a few hours.

However, Su Yu Wan purposely went against him.

The ghost followed closely behind but did not ask anyone to prepare the carriage. They only followed Gu Daiyan back to the medicine house. The red dates and white peaches were taken care of by the Qi family servants. They both climbed onto Gu Daiyan's bed and slept with her for a few hours.

She was woken up before she was full.

He thought it was the jujube making a ruckus, so he slapped it into his arms and continued sleeping.

"Meow, meow, meow." The meow sounded out once again. Gu Pingyan had no choice but to open his eyes, but to see that Duan Chengxuan's face was only inches away from him, and he was still hugging Duan Chengxuan's arm intimately.

After his brain cleared up in an instant, Gu Daiyan let go of Duan Chengxuan's arm and crawled up from the bed. "Prince, why have you come here so early?"

"Guangzhi's family was poisoned." Duan Chengxuan wasn't angry, and he casually threw the white peony he was holding back into the bed. With a flip of his hand, he threw a set of clothes into Gu Daiyan's arms.

Gu Liuyan changed into a new set of clothes, tied up her hair as she walked, and dragged her medicine kit out of the room.

Climbing onto the carriage, Gu Daiyan ordered Phantom Demon to go to the Hall of Appreciation and say: "Tell me I can't go because I have something to do. Wait for me for a few hours."

Duan Chengxuan looked like he wanted to talk to her a few more times, but Gu Daiyan pulled open the curtain of the carriage and stuck out half of his body to buy two steaming bean buns for him to eat.

They ran all the way into the main hall of the residence of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. Regardless of whether they were adults, children or maids, their lips were all purple and their expressions haggard.

First, he checked Guang Biao's pulse. Gu Pingyan immediately frowned, "Sir, the poison wasn't administered for long. Why didn't you go to the doctor earlier?"

Guangzhi sucked in a breath of cold air. "I called the doctor, but he never said it was poison!"

"How could no one know …" Gu Liuyan pretended to mutter to herself. Seeing that Grand Sage's expression had changed, she continued: "Perhaps they are afraid of being implicated, so they are unwilling to say."

In reality, this was also her instruction to the Hall of Healing and the doctors at the medical center, telling them not to involve themselves in this matter and that it was best to pretend to be a quack doctor.

Gu Mingyan took the blood of Cong Sian and some of the servants and went to work.

"Your Royal Highness, you must uphold justice for us!" Guangzhi hurriedly cast his gaze at Duan Chengxuan. "It's absolutely not a coincidence that we've been poisoned multiple times in our residence!"

"Chengshan, investigate this thoroughly."

Duan Cheng Xuan's face was similarly gloomy, and even he felt that this matter was slightly inconceivable.

Previously, he had already sent out a large number of men to investigate because of the assassination attempt on Gu Daiyan and Litchi. However, he still found nothing. Now, he was poisoned again.

The only similarity between the two events was that they were related to the military power.

"Mighty one, have you allocated a batch of military salaries recently?" Duan Chengxuan suddenly asked.

"Yes. Not only that, I have also reported all of the equipment that they wanted. Especially those that belong to Prince, I have also sent people to prepare the best ones." Guangzhi quickly cupped his hands.

After chatting about some trickery in detail, Duan Chengxuan was completely out of ideas.

Although Guangsheng had some tricks up his sleeve, it was currently summer. The soldiers would have to wait until autumn to prepare themselves, and it was impossible to discover them. There were quite a number of people in the imperial court who were going against Guangsheng.

After chatting for a while, he clutched his chest and panted heavily, his eyes turning white.

Gu Daiyan rushed over and quickly injected the needle, causing a thin layer of sweat to appear on his forehead.

"Your Highness, you're right, why did the poison suddenly attack you?" Chengshan was shocked by what happened.

"If you get angry, you will be poisoned." After Gu Daiyan finished speaking and writing down the prescription, she walked over to Duan Chengxuan's side and grabbed his wrist, then went outside to the long corridor.

"What did you find?" With a flip of his hand, Duan Chengxuan grabbed her wrist and pulled his into his embrace. Only after seeing the surrounding maids and servants all leave did he continue. "You can say it now."

"This poison, is something that I came up with when I was in Yue Shan City." Gu Danyan raised his eyes to look at him, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes as he refused Duan Chengxuan's embrace, "Do you want to use this as an opportunity to win over the Assistant Minister of Revenue so that I can save him?"

"It's not me." Duan Chengxuan frowned.

"Impossible, no one can take my prescription from right under Phantom's nose …" Her voice trailed off and she lowered her head in thought. "That's not right. The man in white seemed to have broken in at that time."

"People from the Mirage?" Duan Chengxuan's eyes were filled with a cold light.

"Your Highness, I still think that your suspicion is higher." Gu Liuyan slowly raised her head and looked at him: "Since the Mirage target is you, why did it harm Litchi Bay and the masses? But you have every reason. "

Duan Chengxuan's gaze gradually became dangerous, and the strength that bound Gu Daiyan's wrist gradually increased as well.

"This King does not need to use such a method to win over people."

"At that time, you wanted me to help you cure the poison in exchange for the loyalty of the Assistant Minister of Revenue." Gu Danyan gritted her teeth as her unyielding eyes looked straight into Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes. "Or should I say, it was Su Yu Wan who asked you to do this?"

As though he had been poked in the truth, Duan Chengxuan's strength suddenly weakened.

Gu Liuyan took the opportunity to break free from his arms: "So you are using human life as a bargaining chip, so you listen to Su Yu Wan's words, and you want me to be your right-hand man?"

In the instant that Gu Dingyan took a step forward, Duan Chengxuan once again grabbed her. "Wan'er did indeed say it before, but this duke didn't listen to her."

After pondering for a long time, he said in a soft voice, "According to the prescription, you'll be able to recover fully after three days. I still have matters to attend to in the Hall of Healing, so I'll be taking my leave first."

The slightly smaller hand left Duan Chengxuan's palm, and Gu Daiyan ran away right in front of his eyes.

Only after her figure completely disappeared from his sight did Duan Chengxuan turn around.

Cheng Shan stood behind him and said softly, "Your Highness, you must be jealous."
