The imperial court was in a state of turmoil after the suicidal attempt. However, the emperor and the empress dowager were slightly at ease after receiving the news. Meanwhile, the entire Residence of Crown Prince was still abuzz with the women.
Su Yu Wan sat on the Pear Blossom Chair and watched as the new servant girl covered the horrifying wound with a thick layer of cloth. She frowned as she looked at Mu Qing.
"Is there really no way to get rid of this scar?"
Mu Qing shook his head with difficulty, the mark of punishment still on his wrist.
Naturally, she did not dare to lose her temper and could only glare at Mu Qing indignantly. However, it was indeed she who had Mu Qing personally administer the poison, and the falling window frame had not only smashed onto her, but had even burnt her legs.
When she thought about how she would need such a big scar to accompany her for a lifetime, Su Yuwan wanted nothing more than to peel off that layer of skin.
"All of you, get out." Su Yu Wan became angry and kicked the maid in front of his away.
The maidservants all left while trembling in fear. Mu Qing stopped her, "This is something that cannot be helped. That assassin dared to come while the prince was not around."
"Then where did brother Xuan go!" Su Yu Wan pulled on Mu Qing's clothes: "He was hooked by Gu Liu Yan's soul! "Originally, it was good for her to be killed by that thief, but I never thought that it would actually fail to kill her!"
"That's because you killed the child in Gu Zixian's stomach, the prince just doesn't care about you, that's already pretty good." If Duan Cheng Xuan knew that Mu Qing had pulled her hand away, it would be disastrous.
Su Yu Wan sat heavily on the bed and ruffled her hair, but she still blamed all the blame on Gu Danyan.
Gu Zixian was recuperating in the courtyard. Gu Cheng and Madam Gu were delivering items to the palace every day, making a scene known to everyone in Sky Flame City.
At this moment, Gu Liuyan's courtyard was also in a mess, as if she was intentionally avoiding Duan Chengxuan. The wounds on her body had not fully healed yet and she had already taken on a lot of things to do.
Zhang Liangshan had calmed down a lot. He helped Qi Rou fight for a few days, and they seemed to get along pretty well.
When the people around her went to the side hall for dinner, Zhang Liangshan asked her, "How do I get my revenge on Guangzhi?"
"How is the Minister of Revenue now? Tell me first." Gu Daiyan put down her pen and leaned against the eaves. She waved to the maidservant outside the window who wanted to bring the food over, asking her to bring it back later.
Zhang Liangshan also followed her gaze and said in a deep voice, "Now that the Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue has turned against the Second Prince, and the Second Prince is still at the border, I heard that he has a lot of military power. He has been closed all these days, and doesn't want to cause any trouble, and the unmarried sons and daughters of the Assistant Minister of Revenue are all preparing to marry the other ministers' sons and daughters."
As he said this, Gu Danyan started chuckling: "Since they are all going to get married, then you won't even need to take revenge. There won't be much time left."
"You're looking for an excuse because you don't want to help me?" Zhang Liangshan glared at her.
"Guangjie's children relied on their father's power to do whatever they wanted. Now that they don't cause any trouble and are in such a rush to marry other ministers, their fates have come to an end." Gu Danyan shook her head lightly and grabbed the red dates, which were still licking her paws, into her arms.
"How do you know?" Zhang Liangshan sneered.
"If you don't believe me, you can follow Qi Rou to the residence of the Assistant Minister of Revenue and send some rouge to see for yourself." Gu Daiyan chuckled. She caressed the red jujube's fur, but she already understood in her heart.
When she had ghosts deliver the letter to the Second Prince, the Second Prince had definitely gone to the Assistant Minister of Revenue to expose the truth. He said that it was King Jing who had poisoned him, which was why the Assistant Minister of Revenue had turned against the Second Prince.
Especially now, although the Second Prince and Duan Chengxuan seemed evenly matched on the surface, no one noticed the Third Prince working diligently. This was a good sign, and it proved that the Third Prince was indeed able to maintain his composure.
"It's just a single trip, so I shouldn't be able to tell anything." Zhang Liangshan clenched his fists tightly.
Gu Liuyan raised his eyes and said: "Then let's poison them again and see if they die faster."
With that, she threw the poison packet she had prepared into Zhang Liangshan's hands, "Guangzhi is not a smart person. He thinks that the two poisons were administered by the Jing King Manor. This time, he will make a similar attempt and search for a famous doctor. If he finds out that the poison is similar to the previous one, he will naturally suspect the Jing King Manor."
"But you are Crown Princess Jing. Are you not afraid that he will cause trouble for you?"
"If he didn't run into King Jing's blade, how could he have gotten rid of him so easily?" Gu Daiyan spread out her hands. Red Jujube took advantage of this time to jump off her thigh and meow as he went to find Bai Pian.
"The most malicious of women." Zhang Liangshan still kept the poison bag. The last time he poisoned the medicine, no one saw it, but this time, he was confident, but then he said softly, "But you are no longer highly regarded. Even if the Assistant Minister of Revenue dies this time, there will still be people who will criticize you."
"Then so be it." In any case, she would give up on this leather bag sooner or later, so why would she care about the gossip of others?
Zhang Liangshan was also a cruel person, he didn't have any feelings for Gu Mingyan.
Since Gu Danyan didn't care, he naturally didn't worry and followed her instructions.
Noticing that the two of them were silent, Qing Dai walked into the restaurant with the food in her hand. Zhang Liangshan then left silently.
"Miss, Zhang Liang Shan is not a kind person. Just now, Miss Qi told me that Zhang Liang Shan knows how to use underhanded methods." As he said this, he told Zhang Liangshan about the things he had done.
Gu Liuyan waved her hand: "Good people can't beat bad people. Now, there's someone here who knows how to play dirty tricks, so just let him go. After I solve his problems, I'm still waiting for him to help me achieve great things in this Heaven Flame."
"If he were to inherit your skills, and if you were to disappear one day, there would naturally be people who would try to win over this famous doctor. Miss, you must have taken a fancy to his skills."
"Of course, so I have to help him take revenge. In the future, he won't easily hurt others, so his medical skills can naturally save others." Gu Danyan walked over while leaning on his walking stick. His eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "Moreover, he knows a lot of things between so many noble people. He can also grasp someone else's lifeline."
"Do you really believe that he will listen to you when the time comes?" Fairy pressed the chopsticks into her hand.
"A person with a deep obsession would not easily go back on their words. I have a good eye for people." Gu Danyan playfully winked at her.
Qing Dai nodded. Gu Daiyan was more farsighted in nurturing people now.
