The high walls of Duan Chengxuan's courtyard seemed to be even taller than usual.

"I want to see His Royal Highness." Gu Danyan walked in front of the guard with red eyes.

"The prince has said that he will not see anyone." The two guards remained impassive.

Gu Danyan gritted her teeth and turned around to return to Phoenix Cry Garden. She told the ghost everything she had heard today. The ghost, however, thought that everything was within his expectations: "In the eyes of the prince, the lives of unrelated people are nothing more than grass."

"But now, I have no one to rely on." Gu Liuyan's face was ashen.

She had long since tarnished Princess Jing's reputation, and Duan Chengxuan had long since let people outside say that she was unfavoured. Adding on the matter of Madam Yun and the life-threatening collusion, the ministers of the court would definitely not approach her unless they wanted to rope in Prince Jing.

And the only person who could help was the Third Prince, who had no relation to the Yun Family. He wondered if the Third Prince would help to receive this hot potato.

Zhang Shuang put Qing Zi to bed and strolled over. When she heard Gu Daiyan's words, she rolled her eyes and quickly said, "Why don't I go to the third prince's residence and report a message?"

"It's too dangerous." Gu Danyan looked at her helplessly. Of course she trusted the person that Qi Rou had sent over: "Besides, if you go directly, you might get into trouble."

"Even so, I still have to report to him. First, please ask the king for help. Then, I'll go ask the third prince. At the very least, the matter has been resolved." Aunt Zhang had long heard of Gu Mingyan's reputation and was very fond of her. Naturally, she was also willing to take the risk.

Since Aunty Zhang had already said so, Gu Daiyan could only agree.

Phantom Demon advised, "You're too distracted right now. Why don't you take a good rest and think of something when you wake up?"

Gu Liuyan was about to fall asleep, but hearing the ghost say so, she nodded and fell asleep immediately.

However, when the night was cold, ghosts were still sleeping soundly in the room. Hearing the door open, they immediately grasped their swords and quietly sat up from the bed, staring at the door.

However, when the door opened, he saw a familiar figure.

"I've thought of something, and now is the time." Gu Danyan slipped in, grabbed the ghost and was about to leave.

Ghosts quickly pulled at her, lighting a light to dress themselves, asking her, "Is there any way to do it now?"

Gu Liuyan sat across the screen and answered: "You take me and rush in, I only give him two choices, otherwise he will give me a piece of paper and I will die together with the people of the Yun clan."

His movements were stiff as he was dressing himself, "Will Your Highness take this?"

"Didn't Su Yu Wan want me to see it today just to show that I'm very important to him?" Gu Danyan, on the other hand, looked at the screen coldly.

Ghosts originally wanted to stop her, but upon thinking about the lives of so many of the Yun clan's people, he kept his mouth shut.

After an incense stick of time, the entire Jing King Manor was in an uproar.

He held Gu Mingyan in one hand as he landed in front of Duan Chengxuan's study. When Cheng Shan and the group of people rushed out, he made Gu Daiyan roll twice and get up from the ground. When he raised his head, he was eye to eye with Duan Chengxuan.

"I'm here to ask for a divorce." Gu Liuyan wiped the snow or water off of her face. When she stood up, she even patted her knees and coughed twice.

There were two shiny blades on its neck, but it just stood there without moving.

Gu Danyan waved to the two men in black beside the ghost, pushed open the door of the study by himself, rubbed his hands together and walked up to Gu Shenwei.

Duan Chengxuan organized all the things on the table, seeming to be secretly arranging something, but Gu Danyan didn't have the intention of looking at it.

"You want to investigate the Yun Family's treason?" Duan Cheng Xuan looked at her.

"Yes, since you are not coming out, I can only come in and look for you." Gu Danyan walked forward and told him everything she heard and followed Su Yu Wan. Sure enough, she didn't see any trace of surprise on Duan Chengxuan's face, so he should have already known about it.

"It's impossible, the Yun clan is also impossible." Duan Chengxuan closed his eyes and shot a glance at Cheng Shan before the two people outside withdrew their sabers. They then stood obediently at the side with their heads lowered.

"I can't just watch as the people of the Yun clan get wronged for no reason." Gu Liuyan stepped forward: "You might be able to sit back and do nothing, but that was my grandfather. He would never do something like that."

"He didn't even tell you that he's still alive. Even so, you still risked your life to protect the Yun Family for Yun Qingyang?" Duan Chengxuan frowned slightly, and he even sent Qingze to Gu Daiyan's side.

Gu Danyan froze for a second before he remembered that Yun Qingyang had indeed been hiding this matter from her. The person who had told her about it was a man in white with an unknown origin and a bone fan.

This moment of hesitation was seen by Duan Chengxuan. "Maybe he really did it, but he just didn't want to implicate you."

"Then I still need to investigate and prove the innocence of the Yun family." Gu Yingyan looked at her with an almost persistent gaze.

"No." Duan Cheng Xuan shook her head.

If Gu Danyan was allowed to wash clean the Yun clan's grievances, then it would be impossible to extort the entire clan from them, and it would also be impossible to get the formula for the medicines. Before his subordinates find the formula, he absolutely could not allow Gu Danyan to do this.

"Take the princess away." Duan Cheng Xuan waved her hand and spoke no more.

No matter how much Gu Danyan struggled, he couldn't escape being tied up by the guards and thrown back onto the bed of Phoenix Cry Garden.

After a sleepless night, Ghosts did not come until the early morning to help her untie the ropes. "Let's think of another way."

If he wanted to investigate this case, he would have to borrow the hands of Duan Chenxuan to see the so-called evidence. He would also have to go to the Wind Listening Pavilion and find a way to contact Yun Qingyang, but how could all of this be completed in a short span of two months?

He climbed down from the bed and said, "How could I just sit still and wait for death? You should go out and find Yin Gou and help me deliver the letter."

"There must be someone stopping us outside." Phantom frowned.

"If anyone dares to stop me, just tell me the pass in exchange for Crown Princess Jing's life." Gu Liuyan sneered: "Since he still wants to keep me by his side, he can't just cut me off."

As expected, the guards outside did not dare to stop them.

When he heard of this, Duan Chengxuan flung the books in his hands angrily, and his rage surged to the heavens.

What a great 'pacification' for the life of an imperial concubine! Gu Mingyan dared to act so boldly because she knew she wouldn't do anything to her!

"Prince, why don't I go to Phoenix Cry Garden and bring Qingze here to force wangfei …"

The remaining words of Cheng Shan were cut off by Duan Cheng Xuan's cold gaze.

He took a deep breath and swallowed his anger. With an indifferent expression, he picked up the account book once more and said, "Even if she were to investigate, she would not be able to find anything."
