Seven days later, in the morning.

The south gate was wide open, and a horse was galloping into the palace. Countless courtiers and officials were rushing towards the palace at the same time.

Gu Daiyan was holding a wonton in her hands and asking the doctor of the Hall of Helplessness if he would like to know when old mister He is coming back.

However, after she finished eating the wontons in her hand, Duan Chengxuan rode his black horse to stop in front of her. He frowned and extended his hand to her, "If anything happens to the Yun clan, follow me back to my residence."

Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment, but still held his hand and jumped onto the horse.

It had been a long time since he had been this close to Duan Cheng Xuan. A strange feeling rose in Gu Pingyan's heart. In the end, it was suppressed by the moist taste of the dark and gloomy dungeon. He actually felt a little nauseous.

Duan Chengxuan didn't get close to Gu Meiyan for a long time as well. A strange feeling arose within his heart, causing him to unconsciously slow down, and he said in a low voice, "Cheng Shan, bring Qingze back."

"What did you do?" Gu Daiyan arched his back and became nervous.

"The Yun clan colluded with their enemies to rebel against their country. Imperial brother ordered that the Yun clan's men be escorted back to the Sky Prison for interrogation. I, Qing Zai, am not a descendant of the Yun clan to receive them. Cheng Shan is very fast. He will arrive in a few days." Duan Chengxuan spoke extremely quickly, and his words caused everyone to believe him even more.

Gu Liuyan found it even more unbelievable. The Yun family was not in a good situation, how could they collude with the enemy and betray the country?

Previously, when she had returned to the Yun Family, she knew that the people there loved to be carefree and at ease. Grandfather also hoped that after this generation, they would not have to face the constraints and threats of the imperial family and could slowly fall into desolation.

How could they have reason to collude with the enemy and betray the country?!

The more he couldn't figure it out, the more agitated Gu Danyan became. He could only hurry back to the mansion.

Duan Chengxuan brought her to the study room and told her about the Yun clan colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.

It was said that someone had discovered that the Yun clan and Jiang Yan were very close, so the local officials were more cautious. They discovered that the Yun clan was recruiting people from the martial arts world, and had even discovered that Jiang Yan's men had gone to the back of the Yun clan, and were still safe and sound.

He found a small bamboo tube hooked onto the leg of the bird. Opening it to check, he found that the two sides were communicating with each other, and had been squatting there for several days. They had captured seven letters, and now the evidence was conclusive.

However, there was also a problem with Madam Yun. Madam Yun had always refused visitors and had been closed for more than three months.

The Emperor probably wouldn't be able to send anyone inside. When the time came, he would definitely come to ask for Gu Ming's method of entering the valley, or else he would drag her into the heavenly prison as well.

Gu Danyan frowned, but Duan Chengxuan had already spoken. "I've already told Imperial Brother, you didn't go to the Ling Nan Yun clan earlier and were instead kidnapped by the people of the Mirage Fog. You didn't want to reveal this matter, so I used the name Ling Nan to cover it up."

"Moreover, you were famous for your clear ears back then. No one even knew if you had left or not."

Hearing this, Gu Daiyan felt helpless. However, when he thought about it, the matter of him being kidnapped by the Mirage, the fourth prince's testimony, and many of the people on the Tong Zhou Empire could all prove that it was reasonable.

"The Yun family cannot be traitorous." Gu Danyan suddenly looked at Duan Chengxuan.

"There's nothing I can do. There's no proof." However, Duan Chengxuan frowned with worry. "Moreover, you and I, husband and wife, if I were to participate in this matter, Royal Brother would only lose his trust in you."

Gu Danyan was helpless, he didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Moreover, there's always a way for royal brothers to get them to come out. I've completely used up all the trust my royal brother had in me by protecting Qingze." As Duan Chengxuan spoke up to this point, he glanced at Gu Danyan and said, "Did you know that Qing Ze was sent to a hunter home by Old Devil Bai before the Yun clan closed up for adoption?"

Gu Liuyan sucked in a breath of cold air and started coughing.

The ghost quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth, poured her another cup of tea and swallowed it, then lightly patted her back.

Duan Chengxuan frowned. "What happened to your body?"

"No problem." Gu Liuyan coughed for a while before recovering. She raised her head to look at Duan Chengxuan and said, "There's definitely something fishy about this matter."

"No matter how strange it is, we'll have to wait for the Yun Family's men to appear first." Duan Chengxuan looked at her and said, "Your grandfather passed away a long time ago, and you're not clear about the current situation of the Yun clan either. You can't possibly put your and Qing Ze's lives on the line for them."

Duan Chengxuan's words weren't unreasonable, and it was possible that there really was a problem within the Yun clan.

Currently, other than waiting, there seemed to be no other way. Only ghosts were by his side, and almost all the other powers were spread within the Heaven Flames. The only person they could rely on was Qi Rou.

She had to be a little more careful, but she couldn't let ghosts and monsters lose their lives. Furthermore, Duan Chengxuan and Qing Qing were in her hands.

"In the next few days, you should go out less often and wait in the manor." Noticing her frowning and deep in thought, Duan Cheng Xuan instructed.

Gu Danyan subconsciously nodded, then returned to his senses and looked strangely at Duan Chengxuan. "Why are you still so good to me?"

"Because This King likes you and is good to you, so what's wrong with it?" Duan Chengxuan spoke in a manner as if he was giving orders on a daily basis, and it was extremely natural.

Gu Daiyan choked, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal. He could only nod helplessly: "Thank you."

With that, she walked with ghost towards Phoenix Cry Garden.

Duan Cheng Xuan looked at her back, but her eyes had mixed emotions.

What if Gu Danyan found out the truth of the Yun Family's treason, but he also liked to hear Gu Danyan say thank you to him. He was always so sincere.

After a while, Su Yuwan walked in from outside. Although she was unwilling, she was still happy when she saw Duan Chengxuan's gaze. "I thought Big Brother Xuan really liked her. So it turns out that the one you like the most is me."

As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan gently held onto Su Yu Wan's waist, "Of course, your body is no longer as strong as it was before. If you don't get the prescription now, I'm afraid you won't make it."

"Right." Su Yu Wan leaned into Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace as though she had no bones and gently held his face: "Only by turning the Yun family upside down can I get the true prescription. Gu Danyan is not to be trusted at all."

"But don't tell the truth. She'll hurt people." Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes were like spring water.

"Alright." Su Yu Wan smiled as she handed herself over to Duan Cheng Xuan.

A few days later, Cheng Shan rushed back with his men and brought back a one-year-old little boy. Gu Daiyan waited at the entrance of the mansion for four hours, and when she received the little boy, she happily brought him back to Phoenix Cry Garden.

Standing on the long corridor, Duan Chengxuan watched as the gates to Phoenix Cry Garden were closed by ghosts and demons, and he let out a low sigh.

He hoped that Gu Liuyan would not find out that he was the one who did this.

He didn't want to lose Gu Liuyan.
