"Miss, if you continue to blow the wind, you will catch a cold."
Qing Shui woke up with a start. The sound of her voice still lingered in his ears, lingering for a long time.
In front of her eyes was still her carved bed in the medicine house. On the wall were pictures of Treading on Snow, Plum, and Spring Cherry. At the tip of her nose was the scent of medicinal herbs, faintly tinged with the fragrance of makeup.
She stroked her forehead.
So, everything was just a nightmare.
But when she put on her clothes and pushed open the door, the person sitting beside the door was not the usual blue dress or blue dress, but a ghost dressed in black. He was holding a long sword, his chin was full of stubble, his eyes were dark green, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Gu Danyan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, tears had already flowed down his cheeks.
Gui Gui held his sword and stood up unsteadily, gently patting her shoulder, "You slept for three whole days and nights."
"I still haven't been able to take Qing Dai away. I'm sorry." The ghost lightly sighed, pressing her onto his shoulder, allowing her to gently cry.
Gu Danyan lowered her head and leaned on his shoulder, "Do you also suspect that Qing Dai is a spy?"
"No doubt, she said those words just for your sake." Phantom frowned.
He'd done many things beside Duan Chengxuan and he'd never put human lives in his eyes, because Duan Chengxuan had told him that those were people that deserved to die. But now, it was the first time he knew how heavy a life could be.
The things that Gu Danyan had worked so hard to manage were still not comparable to the things that Qing Dai had worked so hard to manage.
However, she had been misled by her intelligence because Gu Mingyan's extraordinary medical skills and her clever brain had actually convinced her that she had poisoned Su Yuwan. She had also allowed Qing Dai to take care of everything on her own.
The most laughable thing was that even though Gu Danyan spoke the truth, Duan Chengxuan didn't believe it. He only believed that he had investigated.
"Moreover, she already knew that she was a member of the Zhu Clan." He then continued, with a choked voice: "But she was afraid that you wouldn't believe her, so she told me to keep it a secret, if I told you earlier …"
Gu Danyan froze on the spot. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the grief and guilt in the ghost's eyes with disbelief.
After a while, she slowly slid down the door frame. Looking at the brilliant autumn sunlight, her heart was as calm as still water, "She was probably prepared to block the blade for me. She is so smart, perhaps she was already afraid that Duan Chengxuan would find out that I was related to Mirage. I was the one who harmed her …"
Looking at his hands, Gu Daiyan could not help but find it funny.
She should have left with Qing Dai and the other ghosts long ago. If that was the case, Qing Dai would not have died.
Phantom Demon also squatted down and rubbed his eyes, "Miss Qi sent a message to say that Yin Gou and Qi Lin will be married in a few days."
"They said that no matter what, they must let Fairy Qingmei have a drink."
Gu Danyan's voice was soft, but Gu Danyan was already crying. He just sat beside Gu Danyan and let her cry until her eyes turned red. When there were no more tears, he held her cold hand and spoke to her softly.
"The wind will catch cold." After he had finished speaking, Gu Danyan looked at him with disbelief. She rubbed her red eyes and said, "You will be my daughter from now on. I will take care of you along with Qing Di."
Gu Danyan slowly stood up along with the footsteps of ghosts, almost crying.
After sending Gu Danyan back to his bed, the ghost ghost was still sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed with the sword in his arms. He patted her blanket and said, "She just wants you to be alive and well."
"I know." Gu Liuyan slowly closed her eyes: "But I don't want to stay. Let's go."
"Alright, I'll accompany you wherever you go." Phantom nodded with a smile. Leaning on the side of her bed, he finally had a good night's sleep.
Gu Daiyan's nightmare was unexpectedly smoothed over, just like the hand that patted her shoulder when she was comforted by the Blue Daisies.
She would definitely not let Su Yu Wan go.
A few days later, Duan Chengxuan originally thought that Gu Danyan would be depressed over this, or perhaps he would go to the dungeon to bring away the green dame who had already been tricked. On the other hand, Gu Daiyan had sent demons to arrange Yin Gou and Qi Lin's wedding, while he himself would bring good meals to the dungeon every day.
No one in the dungeon was willing to take another look at her.
However, Gu Mingyan would talk a lot with her every day. She would talk about a lot of interesting things, check her pulse, heal her body, and even give her a lot of delicious food.
Although she couldn't speak, she still kept her nose and ears on Gu Liuyan.
Day after day, Gu Meiyan never once glanced at Su Yuwan and Duan Chengxuan. Every day, she would come to the King's Manor and head straight to the dungeon. When she left, she would practically run out.
On the day of the winter solstice, Silverymoon and Qi Lin held a grand banquet, which was very lively.
Only Gu Daiyan had come to the dungeon after the marriage ceremony, carrying a bottle of wine and sitting cross-legged in front of Qing Dai.
"Oh, today, Silverfold and Qi Lin are married."
"You didn't see how intimate they looked, how loving."
"Although Red Jujube and White Peony Root are very afraid of outsiders, they almost scratched the face of the bridegroom in the morning. How fierce."
After talking for a long time, the expression on her face eased a little.
He secretly wiped away the tears on his face, passed some wine to her and let her drink some. He did not forget to say: "They said that if they give birth to a daughter in the future, they will use your name. I wonder if you would mind."
As if she had heard something, a faint sound came from her throat.
Gu Danyan almost couldn't hold back his tears as he continued to tell her about the marriage.
Gu Danyan talked all the way until the next morning before he left the dungeon.
On the third day of the Winter Solstice, when Qingdai died in the dungeons, Gu Liuyan took her corpse away in the name of Princess Jing. After cremation, she took the urn back with her.
When she returned to Sky Flame City, Gu Danyan had become silent. Only ghosts could make her happy.
The door of the fourth prince's residence had not been opened. Until today, King Jing's mansion had finally gathered together, but the fourth prince had not come out. Only Litchi Bay had replaced the fourth prince in order to eat.
Gu Danyan was the last to sit, and his gaze didn't fall on anyone.
"Gu Daiyan, that Bodhisattva has betrayed you. Is it worth it for you to treat her this way?" Su Yu Wan sneered.
Gu Liuyan stood up and waved her sleeve. The snow-white powder fell into the dishes in front of her. Her gaze that was filled with killing intent fell on Su Yu Wan: "Don't think I really don't dare to kill you."
Litchi took a silver needle and tried the dish, turning purple. "You really dare to poison!"
