In the early winter, the entire Sky Flame was as lively as ever.
Gu Danyan was getting skinnier and skinnier as she was locked in the yard. Her usual lively personality seemed to have gone to sleep. When she left the nameless yard, she moved her left leg absentmindedly.
Ghosts walked beside her, looking at her emaciated appearance with slight heartache.
Gu Daiyan smiled and simply hung on Phantom's back. Ghost carried her on his back and she said in a low voice: "What did Fairy do to trade me out?"
"She betrayed you." He whispered in a low voice.
Gu Danyan pulled his ear, "Impossible."
Phantom Demon raised a hand to cover his ears and said helplessly, "Qing Dai is indeed smart. She indirectly mentioned that the Third Prince wanted to win over Meng Xu and was even planning to secretly take care of the Prime Minister's family."
"He's lying to Duan Chengxuan." Gu Daiyan laughed softly, but he was actually quite proud of it.
"Yeah, who knows if the Third Prince will do this, but what Fairy Qingmei said is the truth. She even recited a part of the list you wrote earlier to Duan Chengxuan, and they are all unremarkable talents. She actually didn't say a single word about the Third Prince's most important person." The ghost softly said.
Gu Liuyan closed his eyes lazily: "I don't worry about what she does."
You've already been locked up for one and a half months, but you don't know that the Prince's Mansion is currently in a mess." "The fight between Gu Zixian and Su Yuwan had turned dark in the mansion. If it weren't for Su Yu Wan's sudden illness a few days ago, Gu Zixian would have had to take even more steps forward. Furthermore, I don't know where Gu Zixian got his ability from, and he would have probably gotten pregnant again.
"It's hard to say whether or not he is the prince's biological son." Gu Danyan sneered.
That Lan Lan wasn't a good person, he could still wear the same hat on Duan Chengxuan for the sake of Gu Zixian's position. However, Gu Zixian looked like he loved Duan Chengxuan, and he didn't know if he would agree to do this.
However, these things had nothing to do with her.
When ghost carried her back to Phoenix Cry Garden, Qing Dai was no longer living here. Instead, she would occasionally walk in and out of Duan Chengxuan's side, as if she was his trusted aide.
Gu Danyan felt goosebumps all over his body as he was placed on the soft couch.
"Ghosts, tell me, what do you think we should find a chance to leave on Spring Day?" Gu Liuyan grabbed his sleeve.
After a moment of silence, the ghost looked at her helplessly. "The distance between Qing Dai and Prince is too close."
Gu Liuyan's eyes also turned cold.
In any case, she had now lost her favour due to a coincidence. It would only be a small matter if she wanted to leave in the future. However, if she wanted to take Qing Dai away, it would be a little difficult.
"Do you think we should abandon her?" Gu Danyan winked at the ghost.
The ghost glared at her. Gu Danyan rubbed his nose and said, "Of course not, but we still have Dong Ri. We still have our ways."
Only then did ghost's face ease up a bit, but this time it was different. He walked up to her and tapped her forehead, then said in a low voice: "Don't make such a joke in the future."
"You say that this is a joke, but why aren't you laughing?" Gu Danyan looked at him helplessly, then covered her head and said, "We agreed that all three of us would be happy. I still need to find a wife for you all."
Only then did Phantom Demon start laughing lightly. He looked at her with a helpless look on his face. "You were framed by Su Yuwan and Litchi Bay all of a sudden. You did it on purpose. This way, the Prince won't care about you anymore?"
As he said this, Gu Daiyan lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
She clutched the black hair by her ear and said somewhat helplessly, "I had originally wanted to accompany him through the winter."
Gu Danyan's eyes were filled with deep regret, and his expression became nervous.
Phantom sat beside her, scratching his head as he looked at her. "You really do like the prince."
"Yes, what I said to him afterwards was not the least bit false." Gu Liuyan nodded seriously, then looked out the window at the gloomy weather: "I originally wanted to cut off my relationship, but then I realized that I couldn't cut it off, so I decided to accept it."
"What about you now?" Ghosts helped her put on her clothes.
"I still like it, but I have to hide it from now on. I can't say anymore." Gu Danyan helplessly shook his head. He rubbed his cold little hands and continued, "If I leave here, I can be myself. I don't need to put on airs anymore. It's better than torturing myself with him."
"Then I don't need to talk about love in the future." Phantom began to ponder.
Gu Mingyan Bai said: "Why don't you just talk about love? This thing is so fun."
"What's so interesting about that? Let's see how many injuries you've suffered. Your previous love is on the verge of death, so why don't you just turn your face away?" Phantom looked at her.
Gu Liuyan thought about it, but he couldn't say anything. This was the first time he couldn't refute a ghost's words.
The two of them were in the middle of a heated conversation about love, so they didn't notice that the door to Phoenix Cry Garden had been pushed open. Qing Dai, who had changed into a maid attire, walked in carrying his small bag.
As soon as they entered the door, the three of them faced each other. Qingdai quickly walked over and pressed a piece of Cloud Cake into Gu Mingyan's hand.
Gu Dai was stunned, but she was already kneeling in front of her, gently holding her other hand, "Miss, this is your favorite Cloud Piece Cake."
"Actually, I like jujube mud cakes." Gu Liuyan nodded as his nose turned sour.
"And you like green bean cake."
The three of them laughed, as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Er, on the other hand, had heard the commotion inside and directly reported it to Duan Chengxuan.
After Su Yuwan heard this, she felt that Gu Mingyan was not only bold and audacious, but also heartless. However, Duan Chengxuan had previously listened to her and had targeted the Third Prince at every turn, creating a situation where they were evenly matched.
"Big Brother Xuan, she acted like nothing happened. I'm afraid she has some tricks up her sleeve." Su Yu Wan continued to instigate them.
Duan Chengxuan thought in this way as well, then patted her shoulder. "I'll go see her tonight."
Su Yu Wan was even more worried, but she couldn't take it back so she could only nod.
Waiting until the late night of the moon was quiet, Duan Chengxuan silently arrived at Phoenix Cry Garden.
Unlike before, the lights in Gu Ming's smoking room were not on. She climbed up a ladder and found herself sitting on a tree with a bag of pastries in her arms. A wineskin hung from her waist, and she was holding the tiger bone wine that she had not finished drinking.
Phantom and Tsing Dai were picking out winter clothes from under the tree.
Gu Mingyan was caught red-handed by the ghost as she used her pastries to smash against the ghost. "It's very dangerous up there, what are you doing up there?"
"Thinking of lover." Gu Daiyan raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads. "Is your lover having an affair with Miss Wan-Er?"
Gu Danyan rubbed his nose. Even ghosts didn't notice Duan Chengxuan's aura as it stealthily left while carrying a trace of anxiousness with it.
