"You want to use two medical books to send me away?"
Gu Danyan grabbed the two medical books and opened them with a smile on his face. He only looked at the contents and then stopped smiling. He read through them seriously for a while and then carefully hugged them.
Duan Chengrui also stayed under the same roof as Gu Danyan for a long time. He felt more appreciative towards someone like Gu Danyan who did things seriously.
"How do you want me to thank you?" Duan Chengrui only smiled, then sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
Gu Danyan sat in front of her with the book in her arms and smiled: "I want the land outside Sky Flame City to grow flowers, the most suitable ones to be used as rouge."
"Raise flowers?" Duan Chengrui didn't understand.
"Yes." Gu Liuyan nodded: "Qi Rou is temporarily in charge of Misty Rain Pavilion right now. If she only eats what Qi Ming eats, she will be afraid of Qi Yu coming by day and night to rob her family property. However, if she has her own power, then even if she leaves Misty Rain Pavilion in the future, it would be a success."
When Duan Chengrui heard this, he was even more confused. "You're such a good friend, Qi Rou."
"I never do anything useless to me. Although Qi Rou is my friend, she is not as intimate with me as Yin Jiao." Gu Danyan blinked at him with interest. Bai Pi miaow meow was about to dig the dirt under the tree. Gu Pi Yan quickly put down the book and took the white peony back.
Duan Chengrui didn't understand some of Gu Danyan's methods, but he knew that she was extremely intelligent.
"This matter is very easy to handle. Tomorrow, someone will be sent to secretly take care of it. I have come today to discuss some matters with your father. " Duan Chengrui stopped smiling and told them about Gu Cheng and Gu Sheng in detail.
Including Gu Cheng's desire to die, for his eldest son to live in seclusion within the imperial court, for Duan Chengrui to push the tides of Ying Prefecture to Gu Sheng so that he could successfully ascend to the position of Prime Minister, and for Gu Cheng to change his name to Yuzhou's Shang Jia after he was saved. At that time, Gu Sheng would be acknowledged back, saying that Gu Sheng was a child he had separated from, and he would then legitimately stay under the Emperor's nose.
Gu Danyan's eyes slightly narrowed. He was not as amazed as Duan Chengrui had imagined. Instead, he sighed softly and said, "Gu Cheng has been working hard for over thirty years for this matter."
"How did you know?" Duan Chengrui frowned, as Gu Pingyan seemed to not be a simple person.
"Where I know is not important. What's important is that he treated me and Gu Zixian as abandoned sons. If Gu Zixian hadn't married into the King's Manor, wouldn't he have entered a coffin now?" Gu Pingyan sneered, "It's not bad that you're keeping a person like this to restrict Gu Sheng. However, as long as this Gu Sheng isn't stupid, Gu Cheng won't live past three years."
Seeing the cold expression on Gu Liuyan's face, Duan Chengrui frowned deeply at her for the first time.
"You hate him for treating you as a pawn?"
"I hate him for killing my mother all those years ago." Gu Danyan helplessly turned her head to look at him, "Even though I have never seen my mother before, but since he played with my mother's life, even if he was killed by Gu Sheng, it would still be retribution."
Duan Chengrui looked at her. "If you're a man, you might be able to achieve great things."
"Whether I'm a man or a woman, all I want is to settle these matters and live a carefree life." Gu Danyan suddenly smiled at him. It was very beautiful under the moonlight.
"What else do you want to solve?" Duan Chengrui felt helpless.
"Naturally, I want revenge. When they return what they owe me, that will be enough." Gu Danyan carried Bai Dai and sat down. When he saw Duan Chenrui's strange expression, he continued: "But don't worry, I'll help you become an Emperor if I say I'll help you."
"Who did you make me Emperor for?" The corners of Duan Chengrui's mouth twitched, he had the nagging feeling that it wouldn't be strange if Gu Pingyan said anything about it.
Gu Liuyan burst into laughter. She slapped the table and laughed for a long time before she stopped laughing and looked at him with her face held in her hands: "I just feel that when you become the Emperor, you will definitely be able to help a lot of people out of their misery. It's much faster than when I save people one by one."
"Maybe I'm faking it." Duan Chengrui held his face and looked at her.
"Do you really think that the last time I was in the same room with you, I was really only there to take the register?" Gu Liuyan tilted her head: "You might not even know yourself, but whenever you mention someone doing something bad, you would show a strange expression. It's as if you ate something dirty but couldn't spit it out because of something."
Then he was stunned, and Duan Chengrui touched his own face as he didn't know anything about this.
Even Yue Qing, who was standing on the eaves, frowned. Why hadn't she noticed these details when she was by Duan Chengrui's side for so long?
However, all of this was just Gu Danyan's habit.
As a doctor, if she made a mistake in any of the details, it could result in a big mistake. Over time, not only did she learn to be serious, she also brought this habit of hers into her normal life.
"You are a good person. No matter how many bad things you've done, you are still a good person, suitable to be an emperor." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Mingyan awkwardly coughed a few times.
"Thank you for your blessings." Duan Chengrui lightly smiled.
Gu Danyan looked at the sky and said helplessly: "But don't come back so blatantly next time."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I don't dare to tell you about Gu Cheng's Ancient Ascension." Duan Chengrui felt helpless as well, but he still beckoned Yue Qing to get down.
On the other hand, Yue Qing cast a glance at the nearby darkness before landing beside Duan Chengrui.
"Let's go."
"Yes, third prince." Yue Qing's voice seemed a little louder.
Duan Chengrui didn't notice anything amiss, and he only brought Yue Qing to jump out from the roof.
As if he had noticed something amiss, he quickly ran out with the lantern in his hand to search around the vicinity. However, he only saw a group of servants patrolling around at night, and when they saw that Gu Daiyan seemed to be looking for something, they hurriedly came over: "Your Highness, what are you looking for?"
"You guys just came over?" The lantern in Gu Daiyan's hand was almost scared off by them.
"Yes." The servants retreated a little. When they saw Gu Pingyan turn around with a frown on his face, they quickly followed him: "Let's accompany you back to Phoenix Cry Garden."
Gu Danyan thought for a moment, then nodded and led them back to Phoenix Cry Garden.
Weird, Yue Qing normally didn't call Duan Chengrui that way, or the third prince or his highness. It was always weird to call them together, as if she was sending a message to someone. However, after walking around, she still didn't see anyone.
She must be overthinking things. After what happened at the Hundred Herb Cliff, Duan Chengrui would definitely discipline his subordinates.
When she returned to Phoenix Cry Garden, she still did not smell that faint medicinal smell.
