"Do you think that the Assistant Minister of Revenue poisoned himself and then planted the blame on you?" Duan Chengxuan was certain.

"Of course. Otherwise, with his cowardly nature, he would have come to kneel down and ask for the antidote." Gu Liuyan smiled, then half leaned on Duan Chengxuan's shoulder as she opened up the medical book and continued, "I cured the poison for them earlier, so they would naturally be able to find out what poison they were infected with if they had a prescription. It wouldn't be surprising for them to find a divine doctor to imitate it."

"You can imitate your poison?" Duan Chengxuan relaxed a little and pulled her over.

Gu Danyan lowered his head and read the medical book: "I believe in Heaven."

"What about witness and material evidence?" Duan Cheng Xuan asked her.

"Of course." Gu Liuyan smiled lightly: "I will put a few antidote ingredients on the last few prescriptions. The poison he is now infected with must have come from my first antidote recipe."

"You're so sure."

"If you're poisoned, I'll give you a prescription to cure your poison, and then a prescription to treat you. Will you still have a prescription to heal your body later on?" Gu Danyan raised his head with a smile on his face.

Indeed, people tended to think first, and since the first prescription could cure poisons, they would not look at the last few recipes.

Duan Chengxuan sent someone to the residence of the Assistant Minister of Revenue to collect some things, then returned to let Gu Danyan see what poison it was.

Gu Liuyan had originally wanted to get rid of the Assistant Minister of Revenue so that Zhang Liangshan could obtain what he wanted. However, this could be considered to be helping Duan Chengxuan.

"However, how would my father know that you've been gathering troops? He even knows that this is the name of the fourth prince." Gu Danyan closed the medical book in her hands with a "pa" sound and grabbed Duan Chengxuan's shirt, "You have a spy by your side?"

"The most suspicious person, isn't that you?" Duan Chengxuan held onto her wrist and lightly moved. "You're the one who attacked first, now you're asking me a question instead."

"What you said makes sense." Gu Liuyan nodded, momentarily forgetting that she was the daughter of Gu Cheng and had even been to the Prime Minister's Estate. She was indeed the most suspicious.

Duan Chengxuan didn't seem like he was deceiving anyone when he saw her expression.

"However, you should not know about the military base at the northwest border." Duan Cheng Xuan shook her head.

Gu Danyan nodded, she indeed didn't know about this.

"In addition, father wants to pull the fourth prince down with him. This matter is even more bizarre now." Gu Liuyan struggled out of Duan Chengxuan's embrace and slowly paced around the courtyard while holding the book in her hands. "The Fourth Prince has no power, and his subordinates even have the right to speak. Killing him would be tantamount to harming his foster son, so Father should have some sort of bargaining chip in hand."

When he heard Gu Liuyan's analysis, Duan Chengxuan slowly leaned on the soft couch and started to chat with his. He felt a lot more at ease as he said, "He has abandoned all his children, including you two sisters and Gu Yan. If he doesn't have any children, then where would he find a bargaining chip?"

"It's not like there are no chips." Gu Poyan sneered and hooked his fingers at the roof.

Ghosts landed beside her, bowing to the two of them.

Gu Danyan handed his money pouch to him and said softly: "Give the silver to the ladies of the Wind Listening Pavilion. Have them investigate where the concubines that father had abandoned are now and where the sons of their sons are."

After Phantom Demon took the silver and left, Duan Chengxuan frowned. "You suspect that your father still has a son outside."

"I've never thought about this before, but when I heard about my mother, no one mentioned how she chased away my concubines. I know a lot of romantic affairs about my father, so there's a chance that there might be quite a few children secretly cultivating outside." Gu Danyan nodded.

"Father is an ambitious man." Gu Danyan raised his head and looked at the glaring sunlight and sneered: "And people with ambition usually have something in common."

"He wants to pass on the power he has gained through generations, perhaps for his own obsession." Duan Chengxuan's gaze turned cold as well. He looked at her and said, "However, since Gu Cheng is heartless to his relatives, there's probably only the first possibility."

Gu Pingyan let out a long sigh. He turned his head and beckoned to the white peony dates on the side, then saw them slowly walking over. He smiled and said: "But he has a lot of plans, so it can't be said that his daughter is similarly meticulous."

"Do you have any ambitions?" Duan Chengxuan laughed lightly.

Gu Danyan scooped Bai Dan into his pocket and sat on the stone bench. He smiled and said, "Of course I have ambition, but I don't want this ambition to be passed down from generation to generation. I'll do it alone."

"This is obsession."

"It's obsession." "I don't remember how many people have died in this hand. I just want to save some more people for the rest of my life. When I'm in the underworld, I'll be able to hold my chest up and tell the King of Hell that I, Gu Zuyan, have taken many lives from you."

As he said this, Gu Daiyan also laughed. He tilted his head to look at her and was rubbed by her. He ran away with a meow.

On the other hand, Gu Liuyan was elated. Duan Chengxuan was dazed for a moment, but when he looked at her figure, he felt slightly absent-minded.

"If one day I become the emperor …"

Then I ask Your Highness to allow me to leave the Li Palace and live a carefree life." Gu Liuyan had already received it with a cold expression. Her watery eyes contained a hint of a smile as she looked at him: "I'm afraid Prince Qi Ren will not be able to enjoy his blessings. However, I'll be able to accompany you at your side for a day in the prince's estate.

Grasping the armrest tightly, Duan Chengxuan looked at her and said, "What if I am a prince my entire life?"

"Then I will still have to leave one day, but in the end, I will still be able to return to find you." Gu Danyan tilted his head and smiled even more happily: "You have what you want, I have what I want, and it's not that we have to be together every day just because we love each other. What do you think?"

These were her heartfelt thoughts.

Just as what Qing Dai Qi Rou had said, if she did not say it now, she would not have the chance to say it in the future.

However, Duan Chengxuan seemed a little angry. After all, he was unscrupulous his entire life and would never let go of what he wanted. Su Yuwan was like this, and Gu Danyan should be like this as well.

However, when he saw the smile on Gu Danyan's face and the eyes that would forever stay in his mind, the anger in his heart immediately vanished. He could only look at her helplessly and say, "You can't be a canary."

"Aren't you still a falcon soaring through the nine heavens?" Gu Danyan pursed his lips and looked towards the door, "But now, we are all trapped in the King's Manor, so it's time for us to think of a way out."

"It's time to find a way." Duan Chengxuan smiled as he nodded.

Gu Danyan poured himself a cup of tea as he rolled his eyes, "The envoy must have arrived earlier than the witnesses. The Second Prince said that you colluded with him, so it's better if you colluded with the First General. We also said that the Second Prince colluded with him."

"Let's do it." Duan Chengxuan and Gu Danyan glanced at each other before nodding.
