"The idea is mine, so think of the solution yourself." Gu Danyan once again opened the medical book in his hand, but he started to read it seriously after a while.
Duan Chengxuan sat on the soft couch for a while and thought for a while before calling Cheng Er over. He instructed, "Only Third Prince is left to receive the envoy. All of you should go send a letter to Er Dan."
As he said this, he brought out a brush, ink and paper, and wrote down a letter, which he passed to the two of them.
Cheng Er looked at each other, wondering why there were two letters.
"Cheng Er exposed himself. He first sent the fake letter to the envoy, and he even purposely let the people under the Second Prince see it. Cheng Er shall deliver the real letter to the envoy. " Duan Cheng Xuan instructed.
He hid the letter and left.
Gu Xuan raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, but Duan Chengxuan had already quickly walked to her side. Seeing that she was still reading the complicated medical book, he only put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I've completed my task. I still have a little work to do."
"For what?" Gu Danyan subconsciously moved to the side as he heard his voice soften.
"Of course it's because of kindness and love, and acting carefree and unfettered in this palace." Duan Chengxuan took away the medical book in her hand and continued, "Seeing that we're so composed, it'll be easier for us to clear the suspicion in the future."
"I don't have time, I'm still practicing." Gu Danyan pushed him away and patted the dagger on his waist.
"I'll accompany you."
"You always throw me." Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him. Her wounds weren't completely healed yet, but she didn't want them to open up again.
Duan Chengxuan was amused by her wronged expression, and he obediently said that he would absolutely not harm her. Only then did Gu Daiyan reluctantly let out a breath of relief and agreed.
That day, when Gu Liuyan was resting on the stone bench, she had casually mentioned that she wanted to watch a song and dance, but Duan Chengxuan had paid a hefty sum of money to have someone build a stage for her.
It was as if Duan Chengxuan had forgotten about Su Yu Wan. He spent his days stuck together with Gu Danyan and was confined by the Emperor. He practically didn't need to care about what the ministers said and was happy to be at ease.
As for the dancers, they were called the dancers of the number one beauty in Sky Flame, and the ladies of Wind Listening Pavilion brought people here to play the flute and fiddle with the zither. The group of ladies didn't dare to surround Duan Chenxuan and Gu Daiyan.
It was very interesting to see ghosts being chased everywhere.
Gu Mingyan leaned against the soft couch and drank quite a bit of the Green Plum Wine. She even took out the Bamboo Leaf Green that Duan Chengxuan had previously collected and was half drunk. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she saw the ghost running away and thought, "When will Liu'er arrive?"
Duan Chengxuan helped her straighten his body a bit and also closed his half-opened collar along the way. On the other hand, he didn't have a single complaint towards her and had a submissive appearance, causing the girls to cover their mouths and laugh.
"Aiya, Your Highness clearly loves my wangfei so much."
"That's right, that's right. Who dares to say that the wangfei isn't favoured? Who dares to say that the wangfei is in love with her?"
Not only were these young ladies bold, they were also intelligent. They knew that Duan Chengxuan usually kept a low profile and now he had made such a big fuss just to gain momentum. This sound wasn't loud, and it was precisely heard by Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Cheng Xuan's expression was as calm as water as she glanced at them. The group of ladies hurriedly shuddered before chasing after the ghosts and demons.
The number one dancer leisurely walked over and poured wine for Duan Chengxuan. "Prince, Miss Liu'er said that she wants to prepare some things and will bring something over later."
This dancer had a small face and a pair of eyes that were large and bright. The corners of her eyes slightly raised in an enchanting manner, not to mention her excellent figure. Her eyes, however, were currently fixed on Duan Chengxuan's body, and did not move away for a long time.
"Right." Duan Chengxuan opened his mouth indifferently. When he saw that Gu Pingyan was about to go get more wine, he raised his hand to stop her and said helplessly, "Drink some more. If Liu'er came, she would have long since passed out."
He raised his hand and placed it on Duan Chengxuan's shoulder as he himself followed suit. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the beautiful dancers before him and laughed heartily, "She's a beauty, but the smell of this makeup is too strong."
Just as the dancers were wondering, Gu Daiyan slapped the table. A pair of chopsticks landed in her hands, slightly stretching out, just right under the beauty's chin, and gently raised it.
"Even if I drink wine, I can smell your desire."
Gu Liuyan's expression changed. Seeing that the dancer's expression had turned stiff, but she refused to speak, the chopstick slid down her neck and lightly pulled down her lapel.
Duan Chengxuan's expression remained the same, but he continued to watch indifferently.
Gu Mingyan had pulled them to a crucial place, but she withdrew her hand and tossed the chopsticks to the side. She leisurely hugged Duan Chengxuan and said, "Your beauty, coupled with the aphrodisiac that boosts the liveliness, is completely useless against him. Do you know?"
Spring medicine?
Duan Chengxuan's brows knitted and the expression in his eyes went cold.
The dancers were also extremely frightened and wanted to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but unfortunately, Gu Daiyan did not give her the chance. He grabbed her chin, stared at her eyes for a while, and sneered: "Your highness would not dare to kill you, you are the second prince's sweetheart."
This time, the dancers' faces turned pale, trembling like a sieve.
The ladies of the Wind Listening Pavilion did not see what had happened, and Gu Daiyan did not cause much commotion, while Duan Chengxuan held her steady and raised his eyebrows.
He didn't know that this first dancer would be the second prince's sweetheart.
Gu Danyan smiled, "I've read all the orders from the Misty Rain Pavilion. The Second Prince has bought you a lot of them, and even though it's just a relationship of dew, you've climbed to the first dance floor not just by relying on this skin. I remember a scholar trying to redeem you, and a few days later the scholar disappeared, and you've also climbed onto the bed of another lord."
"I …"
"You are very scheming, you have been in contact with the Second Prince many times, you can't possibly not know anything." Gu Liuyan shook off her chin and laughed proudly: "It's a pity that the beauty scheme is useless against him. The aphrodisiac is useless against us."
The dancer was at a loss for words.
Gu Danyan didn't want to make things difficult for her or make things difficult for her, so he just ordered someone to give her a sedan.
After that, she laid back to the side and rubbed her ears.
"You know quite a lot, why hasn't This King heard of it before?" Duan Cheng Xuan was helpless.
"Of course, these lists do not matter. What I'm telling you is also something Qi Rou told me. She should be able to find a lot of information on this." Gu Ming Yan stroked his forehead. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at him and asked, "Oh right, Your Highness, are you still puzzled about this aphrodisiac?"
Gu Danyan's eyes still had a glimmer of water in them, and only now did Duan Cheng Xuan feel that it was a little hot. "I don't understand."
Gu Daiyan only smiled as he climbed onto Ye Zichen's shoulder.
