C378

The sun was setting in the west, and the third prince's residence had been renovated for half a month.

Chang Yi Qin looked at the completely new two-story house and said in a low voice while holding Duan Chengrui's arm, "Your Highness, who are you keeping this house for? You didn't even select a signboard."

Under the eaves of the two-story building, in the north and south, there were two strings of bells created by the Great Master of the Western Regions. On the north and south side of the eaves, there were two strings of bells made by the Great Master of the Western Regions.

Duan Chengrui sized up the two story house and laughed lowly, "My mother met with my father in this kind of building as well. Unfortunately, my mother only cared for you for a few days, and then it would be hard for you to favor her anymore."

"Your Highness, mufei …"

"But this house is not for remembrance. It is for hiding people." Duan Chengrui made a silencing gesture to Chang Yiqin beside him, then continued, "To the outside world, it's me who misses my mother."

Chang Yiqin couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago and immediately perked up. "Could it be that this tower was prepared for that Gu Mingyan … "A few days ago, you met with Imperial Uncle in the restaurant. I originally thought that you had some important matters, but I didn't expect that you were asking for Mingyan. That's the Imperial Consort, Imperial Uncle wouldn't give it to you even if it was due to face."

"Indeed, this building is prepared for her, but a few days ago, I did not intend to get her, but declared war against my Imperial Uncle. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, Gu Mingyan will one day come to my side." Duan Chengrui raised his hand and led Chang Yi's zither into the room. He lightly pressed the mechanism on the wall and revealed a path.

As he was walking along this lightless path, he just happened to be connected to Duan Chengrui's study as he left.

Chang Yiqin opened her mouth wide, "You … "Do you like Gu Liuyan that much?"

"I do." Duan Chengrui pulled Chang Yiqin behind the study's screen without any hesitation.

On the wall behind the screen, there was only a single painting scroll. On the painting scroll, it was the same person who had been leaning on the soft couch and reading the register. The person in the painting was dressed in plain clothes, with lowered eyes and fan-like eyelashes.

Chang Yiqin had a pale face.

"I know that you and Yue Qing have always been jealous of her." Duan Chengrui's voice was ice-cold, and the hand that was holding onto Chang Yiqin grew even stronger as he looked over with a gaze filled with warning. "But if you dare hurt her again, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife."

Duan Chengrui had never been strict with Chang Yiqin before, and at this moment, with a single glance, Chang Yi Qin's legs went limp.

"I already knew what Yue Qing had done. I just did not expect that the letter sent to the hunting grounds was your idea."

Duan Chengrui shook off Chang Yiqin's hand and looked at her coldly.

Chang Yiqin kneeled on the ground with a thump. "I was also distracted back then …"

"I've already said that keeping her around is useful. You all keep disturbing her for personal reasons, and now I have no choice but to ask for her in front of Uncle Huang so that she can live a better life in the Prince's Mansion. It's not in vain for her to toil for us before." Duan Chengrui waved his sleeves in anger.

If the matter were to be exposed, it would be fine as long as Yue Qing was taught well. In the end, nothing major would happen, but Chang Yiqin was his official wife, and she had the good tea shop backing her up. If she used some underhanded methods to deal with Gu Gouyan, based on the current suspicious situation of Gu Mingyan, it was likely that there would be another incident.

Chang Yi Qin clenched her teeth and said: "In my opinion, if His Highness does this in front of Imperial Uncle, it will only let Gu Danyan die faster."

"Therefore, even if all of you add up, you still can't compare to Gu Tinyan alone." "If there's no one arguing, Royal Uncle will only think that Gu Liuyan should stay by his side. However, as long as I fight, Royal Uncle will know the value of her, and he will protect her completely. Doing this is also to teach you and Yue Qing a lesson."

Chang Yi Qin's heart skipped a beat, then she abruptly raised her head and looked at Duan Chengrui in disbelief.

In the next moment, Duan Chengrui spoke with a cold voice. "If the two of you make a move again, at that time, don't blame Imperial Uncle for making a move against you."

Chang Yiqin fell to the ground as her body slanted to the side.

Looking at the icy cold face of Duan Chengrui, Chang Yiqin felt that she was a stranger.

He was a person who wanted to accomplish great things. Before, he could still put up with emotions, but in the future, as long as he relaxed towards anyone beside him, it would all lead to a great mistake.

Now, he no longer hypocritically comforted Chang Yiqin. It was only because he held great power in her hands. The small merchant from the Good Tea House couldn't help him, and could only beg for his help.

Before he had become an emperor, he already had the idea of becoming a sovereign.

"In the future, I won't allow anything to go wrong. I've only temporarily told you and Yue Qing about this incident. If this matter were to be leaked, both Yue Qing and the good tea shop, I definitely wouldn't let them off lightly." Duan Chengrui leaned back in his chair and picked up the account book at the side.

Chang Yiqin's legs were weak, and it was the maidservants outside the door who helped her in.

As for Duan Chengrui, he glanced at the painting on the wall with a gloomy expression.

In reality, he had only made a bet. He hadn't thought that his uncle would be so unwilling to let go of Gu Danyan.

There had always been very few servants in Duan Chengxuan's room, and even Su Yu Wan didn't come often.

At this moment, Duan Chengxuan was sitting in front of a table with a similar painting scroll hanging in front of him. The woman in the painting had a white veil covering her face, and she wore a set of clothes with blue and white ripples on it. The two kittens on his legs were dozing off, but there were quite a few pastries placed on the stone table in front of her.

The corner of the woman's eyes were curved, but it was bright. A strand of black hair by her ear, however, did not have an alluring appearance. It was a refined and elegant appearance.

When the two of them were in love, Duan Chengxuan had the painter secretly draw out a picture scroll in the corner. There were more than ten of them, but he had left behind this scroll.

Because there was only this scroll, the person Gu Danyan was looking at, was him.

Duan Chengxuan was in a slight trance when the door was pushed open by someone. Su Yu Wan, who was wearing a light purple dress, saw the painting with a tearful face as she looked at Duan Cheng Xuan. "Big Brother Xuan, you've changed your mind in the end."

"I don't want to hide it from you anymore." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand to lightly trace the outline on the painting and gently said, in a gentle voice, "If there's one thing I'll regret, and that is meeting her too late."

"Big Brother Xuan, are you blaming me for the flood?" Su Yuwan landed in front of his table and bit down hard on her lower lip. "Otherwise, why would you suddenly treat her so well?"

"Because I suddenly came to my senses." "You and Gu Zixian don't like her, because you two love me. However, the reason the Third and Sixth Prince have fallen for her is because she is good enough in and I have never let you down. In the future, I will even have to respect you as the Empress, but in the end, I will still let her down."

As she finished speaking, tears had already started streaming down Su Yuwan's face. However, Duan Chengxuan's voice rang out once again, "Only she understands me."
