As the iron chains collided with each other, a series of sounds rang out. Duan Chengxuan's clothes were caught by the tips of Gu Danyan's fingers.
"Let her go!"
She almost spat out these words through gritted teeth.
On the other hand, when Duan Chengxuan looked at her, there was a trace of pity and heartache in his eyes. Instead, he gently held her hand and, as if he understood everything, sent people to remove the shackles on her body one by one.
Gu Xuan wanted to run away, but Duan Chengxuan had one hand around her waist and the other around her neck, trapping her in his embrace. "Azure Dai is a spy. No matter what, she isn't willing to tell me the truth about the Mirage."
"The current mirage is a forgery!" Gu Dai Yan stopped all of her actions, and said solemnly: "All of this has nothing to do with Qing Dai, and I was the one who colluded with the Third Prince. When I was at the bottom of Hundred Herb Cliff, I wanted to kill you, and then I told Third Prince everything I heard in the study! All of this has nothing to do with Qing Dai! "
The ghost in the opposite cage began to cough.
Gu Liuyan had actually revealed what he had done for Qing Dai.
However, Duan Chengxuan didn't believe her at all and he only lightly pressed her down. "Third Prince doesn't even know about the matters that I discussed with my advisors, and you didn't tell him about the most important matter. Moreover, do you have any evidence to communicate with the Mirage? "Only Fairy Qingmei knows that. That was a skill from the Two Elements of Creation School. You obviously don't know anything …"
Gu Daiyan widened his eyes slightly.
The matter regarding the Two Elements of Creation School was told to Qing Dai by ghosts and they told her to be more careful. In fact, the mirage was a bluff based on the white robed man's story and there was no evidence to prove it.
After a slight pause, she tried to think things through.
"You were tricked by her. She wanted to use you to kill me and use your hatred for Su Yuwan to sow discord between us. However, the only thing she was wrong about was following a good master like you."
"No …" Gu Daiyan suddenly broke free from her embrace and ran towards the small door at the very back.
She would never lie to herself. She wanted to use him to deal with everything.
And her mistake was not to let her know so much.
How could he let Qing Dai sit down with these names! Impossible!
Her ears were completely calm. When she was about to reach the door, a large hand easily pulled her back. She could feel her body being pulled, as well as the terrifying scream coming from behind the door.
"She betrayed you." Duan Chengxuan's voice lightly sounded beside her ear. "I've already ordered someone to turn her into a human. She will never give you any trouble in his entire life."
"No!" Gu Liuyan was so crazed that she wanted to push Duan Cheng Xuan away. "She did it to protect me …"
"Shan Cheng!" Duan Chengxuan's words covered up all the heart-wrenching screams. Cheng Shan walked to his side with a gloomy expression and took over Gu Danyan from Duan Chengxuan's hands. "Your Highness, your subordinate will send you back to the medicine house to recuperate."
"Scram!" Gu Danyan struggled free from Cheng Shan's grasp and fell to the ground with his hair in a mess. His ankle was already covered in blood from being tortured by the iron chains.
However, she still climbed up from the ground without realizing it. Someone beside her tried to pull her up, but they were all avoided by Gu Liuyan. When she reached the door, she couldn't open it no matter what and cursed softly: "Damn it! Bastard! I will make you all suffer a miserable death! "
Duan Cheng Xuan's expression turned gloomy as well.
He no longer wanted to bring up the matter of her colluding with the Third Prince, but now, Gu Danyan had challenged his patience time and time again for the sake of a mere maid.
"Open the door." Duan Chengxuan grabbed onto the bloody patch on Gu Daiyan's wrist, causing him to be shocked. Gu Daiyan gasped, and her hand that was pressed against the door was forced to withdraw.
Someone went up to open the door. Before them was a long flight of dark stairs. The thick smell of blood assaulted their nostrils.
Gu Daiyan's legs went limp subconsciously, but Duan Chengxuan fiercely clenched her wrist. His ice-cold eyes finally landed on Gu Daiyan's eyes as he said, "You're a smart woman, and that Jindan relied on your trust in her to make use of you. I should let you see her true appearance."
Hearing Duan Chengxuan's words, Gu Ming didn't turn back and walk down the stairs.
However, Duan Cheng Xuan firmly gripped her wrist and followed behind her.
In the lowest level of the dungeon, there were only two flickering candles that gave off a terrifying light. The thick smell of blood wrapped around Gu Daiyan, and the person lying on the wooden board had long since lost both legs. His face was badly mutilated, but only his chest was slightly heaving.
He could faintly hear the sound of breathing coming from his throat.
Gu Danyan froze on the spot, but in the next moment, the people on the wooden board let out a strange laugh and said sinisterly: "Duke Jing, you will die a horrible death! Whether it's Crown Princess Jing, or Su Yuwan, both of you will die a horrible death! "
"Pull her tongue out." Duan Chengxuan's expression didn't change as he ordered the people at the side.
"No!" Gu Danyan rushed forward to stop the black-clothed men from doing so. The few of them looked at Duan Chengxuan with a troubled expression, but Gu Daiyan had already seized the opportunity to rush up to check on the situation of the brocade.
She only felt her body become light, and when she regained her senses, her entire body had been shackled to the wall by Duan Chengxuan's shackles.
She could only see Duan Chengxuan's face, but other than that, she couldn't see anything else. No matter how she struggled, Duan Chengxuan only looked at her silently, not allowing her arms or legs to move even an inch. "Did you hear the curse she placed on you? "She is not the blue dame you know. She is a traitor."
"No …" Gu Daiyan quickly shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
She could vaguely see that someone had already gotten their hands on the tools.
"She's a traitor. You just need to think."
"She's not." Gu Liuyan was still struggling.
The item let out a crackling sound.
"You're the smartest person I've ever met, you know." Duan Chengxuan's voice was already slightly hoarse.
"No!"
As soon as Gu Daiyan finished speaking, a mournful sound was heard, followed by the sound of blood flowing backwards, and the sound of something dropping to the ground.
Gu Danyan's taut nerves seemed to break apart right after. He spat out a mouthful of blood onto Duan Chenxuan's clothes, then he became completely unaware of anything else.
