Throughout the winter, King Jing's Estate was in an uproar.
Listening to the endless stream of dancers from the Wind Pavilion, Qin Jiu, as well as the Spring Garden's troupe that was trying their best to please Mingyan, even the good tea shop's Misty Rain Pavilion was looking for business. Not to mention that Princess Jing was even willing to spend a great amount of money to let the people from the good Treasure Pavilion find two needle bags, invest in a medicine farmer, and even renovate the medicine house.
Spring came. Gu Danyan didn't need to sit on the wheelchair every day. She just sat on the stone bench and ordered seven or eight craftsmen to save the dead wood in the yard. However, she had been busy for two days without saying anything.
Aunt Zhang also brought the news with great familiarity, "His Highness the third prince has already handed Yun Fu over to the justice courts, and now he is leading men to publicly overturn the case against Lady Yun. The emperor, bearing in mind Lady Yun's merits, has sent additional men to investigate the matter."
Gu Mingyan sipped a mouthful of tea, "That's good. Qi Lin sent someone to go to Lingnan on purpose earlier. He and Yin Gou are smart enough to find out that there are still people looking at Lingnan family. They seem to want something."
"Indeed." Aunt Zhang nodded her head. "And His Highness the Third Prince also said that not only did Prince Jing not protect Madam Yun, but the other important officials by his side all seemed to want to cripple Madam Yun."
As he said this, Gu Liuyan remembered that in the past few days, Duan Chengxuan had been in the court and many of the court officials seemed to be dissatisfied with her.
She was said to be the daughter of a sinner, and now that something had happened to the Yun clan, they didn't like her being by the side of the Jing King.
These officials were also eager to pull her down and have their daughter come to their door.
"If Your Highness doesn't want to help, then so be it." Gu Danyan waved his hand and lightly stood up. He took Aunt Zhang's arm: "Auntie, you should go and talk to Third Prince about this. Let's take it slowly. In a few days, I'll be able to leave the house."
"Really?" Aunt Zhang opened her eyes wide. "But even the prince won't let you out."
"Of course it's true. The Vast Tide of Spring has many water disasters, and Duan Chengxuan will probably have to go to various places to manage rivers or towns. I'm afraid he won't be able to control me." Gu Liuyan laughed lowly: "Tell the Third Prince that as long as he can help me get out of danger for the Yun family, I'll pave the way for him from the Spring Festival until the day he ascends the throne."
When Aunt Zhang heard the last sentence, she was quite surprised. The Third Prince and Gu Daiyan had such big words to say.
However, she was just a commoner, and anyone who became the emperor had nothing to do with her. Moreover, she passed along a few messages, so she naturally knew that the Third Prince's etiquette and etiquette were all decent, and that Gu Pingyan's medical skills were exceptional. On the other hand, Prince Jing was pestering Ying Yan incessantly in order to get someone to move Doctor Mu Qing's courtyard house away from Su Yuwan.
Auntie Zhang knew what was important and what was not.
"Just wait for the good news." Aunt Zhang patted her hand. "I'll make some soup for you."
"Sorry for the trouble, Auntie." Gu Liuyan nodded repeatedly as she watched Aunt Zhang leave.
The craftsmen behind her gathered up their courage and approached. "Your Highness, this old tree is too old, I'm afraid …"
"Save them until they come back to life." Gu Danyan turned around and raised his eyebrows. His unruly look scared the craftsmen so much that they didn't dare to say anything. They could only look at the tree and feel troubled.
Moreover, the people Duan Chengxuan sent over could see all of this clearly, and they even told him about it one by one.
Gu Danyan and Aunt Zhang were being very cautious, and Auntie Zhang was Qi Lin's wet nurse. Duan Chengxuan did not expect Auntie Zhang to inform the Third Prince of the news, as he knew every day that Gu Danyan was doing all sorts of random things, causing his heart to be in turmoil as well.
"What else does she do besides these chores?" Duan Chengxuan didn't even raise his head. Su Yu Wan, who was by his side, slightly raised her head.
"Daily …" "She even likes to take Young Master Qing Ze for a stroll in the prince's mansion, and then let a ghost carry her everywhere. A few days ago …" The man lowered his head to read the book and recounted the contents one by one.
"Did she mention anything about the Yun family?" Duan Chengxuan finally raised his head.
"I mentioned it a few times, but it was always when I brought Young Master Qing Ze to talk to myself."
Speaking to this, even Su Yuwan frowned. Gu Mingyan could have kneeled for the Yun clan for seven days and seven nights, sitting in Dong Ri's wheelchair, but after that she was arrogant and despotic. She didn't do anything.
It was all for nothing that she and Gu Zixian had been involved in this internal conflict.
If he hadn't completely moved Mu Qing away from the courtyard, then it was likely that Duan Chengxuan would have paid no attention to her in his heart. Now that he had finally gotten his footing beside Duan Cheng Xuan with great difficulty, he could only helplessly say, "Gu Suiyan is like this, she's definitely planning to do something in secret. She isn't someone who's easy to deal with."
Su Yu Wan was worried about Gu Qing Yan, but Duan Cheng Xuan didn't think so.
Gu Danyan had already lost too many important things, and had long since lost his previous caution and was now becoming more and more absurd. Sometimes, if they met each other in the mansion, they would look like they were half crazy and acting so arrogantly, making him worry instead.
Once an expert's heart was destroyed, they would become useless.
"We'll just follow what we saw in the past. Tonight, let's go to Phoenix Cry Garden." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand.
Su Yu Wan almost threw the things in her hands out, but she heard Duan Cheng Xuan continue, "Didn't you want to see if she was an easy target? Why don't I see it for myself? "
With one sentence, Su Yuwan's temper was completely gone, so Su Yuwan could only endure it.
However, when the sun had set and Gu Daiyan heard the news, she directly went to sleep early. When Duan Chengxuan arrived at night, she was already breathing steadily as she laid under the bed.
Duan Chengxuan let out a soft sigh without leaving a trace, then he changed his clothes and climbed onto the bed, carefully hugging the person in his embrace.
As long as his subordinates managed to find the secret formula of the Yun clan, things would be much better in the future.
A peaceful night.
The next day, when she woke up, Gu Danyan raised her head and looked into Duan Chengxuan's deep eyes. Her mind was completely blank. Only after a long while did she close his eyes again and ask softly, "When is it?"
Duan Chengxuan was surprised by her good behavior. "It's not even dawn yet."
"Right." Gu Danyan responded with a soft sound and fell asleep again. He didn't care about the people around him at all.
Duan Chengxuan's heart, however, felt as if something had grabbed onto his heart.
By the time Gu Daiyan woke up, it was already late in the morning. Duan Chengxuan, who was beside his, had already disappeared without a trace. Only his finger was still warm, and the voice of the butler came from outside the window.
"These are all things that the prince ordered me to deliver to Princess Hua-Yang. He even allowed her to take care of her body so that there wouldn't be any more restrictions on her feet."
"Sorry for the trouble, Butler." It was the voice of Aunt Zhang.
When she came out of the bed, there were some branches growing on the old tree. The lush green leaves crawled up into her eyes, and the warm spring breeze caressed her hair, bringing with it a hint of a smile: "Ghost, aunt, today we will go for a swim in the lake without any restrictions."
