In the blink of an eye, the day of the Autumn Hunt arrived.
The Fourth Prince, Duan Chengyu, seemed to have caused trouble with Litchi Bay, yet the fourth prince, Duan Chengxuan, had actually arrived one day ahead of time to stay in Duan Chengxuan's residence. Even when Litchi Bay had sent someone to invite him back twice, he was still rejected.
Gu Liuyan had been silent for the past few days. She walked up and down the small street to see the winery that Zheng Qiankun and co. opened, and then went to the Hall of Relief and the Misty Rain Pavilion.
It would be great if these days could continue.
Gu Danyan enjoyed it for a few days, then told Ghost and Blue Dai in a low voice, "In the coming spring, I have to leave the Palace, so I have to take care of everything regarding the Heaven Flame these days."
"We'll have to wait until Yin Gou gets married before we can leave, won't we?"
"That's right, when the time comes, we'll go out and take shelter for a few months, and have some fun while we play, and then return to help Third Prince. When everything is settled, I'll ask the new Emperor for a decree that allows me to live a carefree life, and then we won't have anything to worry about." Gu Liuyan sat in front of the dressing table and clapped her hands with a smile.
He looked like a child.
As she watched, she felt both bitter and happy.
Gu Danyan had been acting before, but the more she experienced, the more she saw through things and she was more like a child.
Even ghosts and demons yearned for him. Duan Chengxuan kept his promise and no longer had any intentions of taking him back. Other than Gu Liuyan, he basically wouldn't listen to anyone else's words. However, he was willing to be her assistant.
Speaking of which, the three of them looked like brothers and sisters. However, the Ghost, who had the highest martial arts skills, looked like a little brother.
While Gu Tinyan seemed like a child, she was extremely concerned for her body. She said that he had been practicing martial arts for too long and that he needed to be treated. She also said that he was skilled in acupuncture and cupping.
After tidying up Gu Tzu Yan and changing into a light and light set of clothes, she went out.
Qing Dai followed on either side of him. When they reached the door, the housekeeper sent someone to bring Silver Ear along as well.
Duan Chengyu sat on the carriage as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, waving at her, "Ride this carriage, and I'll bring you stars that fill the sky."
Gu Mingyan saw Duan Chengxuan coming over from afar with Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian. She flipped over and sat in Duan Chengyu's carriage, pulling in all of the brocades and ghosts.
Every time the four of them gathered together, it would be extremely lively. Duan Chengyu didn't know where they got the ivory dice, but although the four of them didn't know how to gamble, they still played along the entire way. Speaking of which, Duan Chengyu was also extremely cautious when he came.
"You and Qi Lin have a family together, how can you see that Qi Lin is getting better and better for Yingyu, you have no choice but to quarrel with Litchi Bay." Gu Danyan asked out of curiosity after losing a match in size.
Duan Chengyu rolled his eyes, then rubbed his head with a strange expression: "Litchi Bay is a good girl, I like it a lot."
"You like it and you still want to argue?" Fairy looked at him with the dice in her arms.
Duan Chengyu continued to rub his head, "But, she spends most of her time doing whatever my mufei says. You all know how fierce the battle between my mufei and the empress is, so you can't wait for me to rope in the power of my royal uncle … "Woo! Woo!"
Gu Danyan covered his mouth and glared at him: "Your uncle is right in front of the carriage, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Duan Chengyu opened his eyes wide and blinked. Only then did Gu Daiyan retract his hand.
At the mention of this point, Duan Chengyu couldn't help but helplessly spread out his hands. "Moreover, recently, she was still meddling in the mansion and even found a person from the martial arts world. He's a beautiful woman and said that she was the teacher of her fortuitous encounter back then and is extremely powerful.
Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows, this person might be the master that taught Litchi Bay how to use Gu poison.
However, seeing that Duan Chengyu was currently troubled over this matter, he thought of something and if it wasn't for the fact that Duan Chengyu did not like Litchi Bay, he would not have cared so much.
The group slowly made their way to the hunting grounds.
Gu Liuyan had come here once before. This time, she could be considered to be familiar with it. However, this year was rather troublesome. Previously, it was her and Su Yu Wan who were by Duan Chengxuan's side, but now, there was an additional Gu Zixian.
It was as if Duan Chengxuan had just discovered this matter and was vexed over it. However, Gu Daiyan had already started walking. "Your Highness, Yan'er will accompany the empress dowager."
"Go." Duan Chengxuan's heart calmed down as he brought Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian to sit.
However, Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian's hearts were clogged up. They could see that Gu Dai Yan was no longer an existence that she needed to keep by Duan Chengxuan's side and keep under her nose, but was instead a being that she placed in her heart.
Su Yu Wan forced out a smile as she called out to Big Brother Xuan and even passed him the wine in her hands.
She knew that this was the young man who was going to take his father's place. Immediately, her eyes were filled with tears, and Alain, who was standing beside her, gently pulled on her sleeve, knocking against Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Chengxuan turned his head to look at Gu Zixian, but when he saw Gu Zixian's expression, he recalled Gu Danyan's words.
Even if it was out of respect for Gu Pingyan and because Su Yu Wan had killed the child, he should have saved her life, so he said to Cheng Shan behind him: "Zi Han's body isn't feeling well, go get some soup, and tell Gu Sheng that he hasn't sat on the prime minister's seat yet."
Cheng Shan looked at Gu Zixian and was slightly shocked in his heart. He also quickly did as he was told.
Since when did the prince have feelings for Gu Zixian?
Gu Zixian also looked at Duan Chengxuan in astonishment. He quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and poured a cup of wine for Duan Chengxuan without saying a word. Su Yu Wan, who was at the side, squinted her eyes, filled with danger.
Gu Daiyan, who saw all of this from not too far away, also felt relieved.
It seemed like Gu Zixian was Gu Cheng's daughter after all. After knowing that he had no one to support him, he knew how to please others.
This time, when she came to the empress dowager's side, she felt a little uneasy and felt even more guilty that she had taken her life as bait and injured.
Gu Liuyan took out a small scented sachet and tied it for her. "The empress dowager lives forever. I've put some herbs in this scented sachet, and they smell good for the body."
The empress dowager stared blankly for a moment before leaving her by her side, beginning to speak just like before.
However, Gu Liuyan didn't notice that Su Yu Wan had already pretended to be angry with Duan Chengxuan and was using the name of a burn to apply medicine in a nearby room. In the end, she had left her seat.
However, Duan Chengrui, who was standing on the other side, took everything in his heart as he ordered his subordinates, "Go and watch Su Yu Wan."
