"I can understand you too! Big Brother Xuan! "
As she cried, Su Yu Wan grabbed onto Duan Cheng Xuan's sleeve. "I don't believe your words. Gu Qing Yan is definitely the one who treated you …"
"In Mu Qing's courtyard, there is a poison; this is the poison that you were poisoned with before. After searching for a long time, Cheng Shan was still unable to find it in Gu Danyan's courtyard." Duan Chengxuan's heart lightly thumped against Su Yuwan's heart, and his gaze gradually became sharp: "From the very beginning, I was the one who misjudged her, and I even lost my first child."
Su Yu Wan opened her eyes in disbelief.
Those things should have been cleaned up a long time ago!
As if he knew what Su Yu Wan was thinking about, Duan Cheng Xuan brushed her hand away. "On the way back, I was grounded by the Emperor. Mu Qing's original courtyard collapsed as well. Xu You found quite a few traces of poison for me."
"I just …"
"You just don't like her." Duan Chengxuan's sharp gaze descended upon Su Yuwan. "I've already treated you well enough, but you still want to harm me."
Su Yu Wan gritted her teeth and could not utter a word.
"Wan-Er, I am sincere to you. I don't want to see such a thing happen again." With a wave of his hand, Chengshan had already walked in and pulled Su Yu Wan up. "Miss Su's body is frail. This subordinate will first bring Miss Su back to the courtyard to rest."
Duan Chengxuan nodded, then his gaze once again descended onto the painting.
When would he be able to repay the debt he owed others?
Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were dim.
Without the company of Phantom Demon and Qingze, Gu Danyan felt that the night was long, so he could only take out the remaining green plum wine and climb up to the roof, afraid that the jade pearl would not be able to climb up. Only Zi was trembling with fear, and seeing that Gu Daiyan was still drinking leisurely, he clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't think that everything would happen once the Phantom Demon left."
"It's just a matter of luck coming together. I didn't expect him to think of me at such a time." As Gu Daiyan said this, he sighed softly. Although the Green Plum Wine tasted good, it was still a bit bitter.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ah Zi quickly reached out to grab Gu Daiyan's sleeve.
Gu Danyan slapped her on the forehead: "God knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Ah Zi rubbed her forehead, and accompanied Gu Qing Yan to drink. After a while, the jade bead started to boil the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and told the other two people to hurry down and stop blowing.
With the two of them accompanying him, Gu Danyan finally had a good night's sleep.
However, in the middle of the night, she could only vaguely see something. It was as if a woman's silhouette appeared in front of her, causing her to wake up abruptly. She was covered in cold sweat as she pulled on her sticky clothes.
As soon as she opened the door, the person in front of the door had already taken the basin from her, while the other person disappeared in a flash.
"What are you guys doing at my door in the middle of the night?" Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment, but he still recognized the person in front of him. It was a servant in the residence, but not very often.
"The Prince ordered us to take care of you at night, while Miss A'Zi and Lady Jade stayed behind to take care of you." After saying this, the servant hurriedly went to get some water for Gu Daiyan.
Being frightened by the two people at the door, Gu Daiyan lost all sleepiness.
He lit up the candle and looked for a book about ghosts and gods. After reading for a while, the attendant knocked on the door and brought in a bucket of water. He also brought a wet towel and hot tea.
Gu Danyan wiped himself and used the rest of the water to soak his feet. He put some herbs in and decided not to sleep.
While soaking the herbs, he was also reading the books written by these ghosts. He thought for a while, then called to the door: "Help me open the window a bit, then go to sleep."
"Yes, Princess." The attendant hurriedly walked in and pushed open the door a bit.
When the water cooled down, Gu Danyan put the cold water basin to the side, lit up some of the fragrance, and took out the embroidered box from the drawer. Inside the box were the medical books that Duan Chengxuan had given her and some of the ancient formulas that he had found when he searched through the Yun clan's homes.
Just as he turned the page, the door was pushed open.
Duan Chengxuan only put on a robe before walking in. Gu Dai Yan finally knew what that figure was going to do.
At this moment when he was dazed, the medical book in his hand had already been pulled out. Duan Chengxuan's warm palm lifted up her hair and it fell onto the back of her neck as he rubbed it. "It's all cold here. Why did you open the window so late at night?"
"It's a bit boring to be wrapped up in nightmares at night." Gu Daiyan felt that Duan Chengxuan's hands were rather comfortable.
Amidst the flickering candle flames, the blade-like outline of Duan Chengxuan's body softened quite a bit. Gu Daiyan followed her to the bed out of nowhere, and by the time she managed to react and struggle free, Duan Chengxuan's hand had already firmly landed on her waist.
Under the blanket, their feet were entwined and warm.
"If you can't sleep anymore in the future, send someone to get me." Duan Chengxuan's voice sounded by her ear, and the other hand that was placed on the back of Gu Liuyan's head slightly exerted force, which even contained a bit of inner strength.
Gu Liuyan only felt that Duan Chengxuan's voice was getting further and further away before he fell into a deep sleep.
He slept soundly through the night, but the shadow of the woman in his dream never ceased to haunt him.
When he woke up late in the morning, he was still in Duan Chengxuan's embrace, and the things in his dreams had suddenly vanished.
"Accompany me to the empress's place today." Duan Cheng Xuan rubbed the back of her head.
"I went for a pulse examination before, and Her Majesty is going to the palace for the summer in a few days." Gu Liuyan felt that she didn't have much strength on her, so she was lazy.
"That's why I have to go even more. Today, I've just been released from my confinement. After going to the imperial court, you must help me say some good words in front of Imperial Mother." Duan Chengxuan's voice was light and gentle, and he still half dragged her up from the bed.
Gu Danyan felt helpless and had no choice but to get up. Duan Chengxuan wore his official uniform and went to court.
Yu Zhu and Ah Zi also received Duan Chengxuan's orders and properly dressed up for Gu Danyan.
When she stood up, her head felt light. Ah Zi quickly supported her: "I keep feeling like you're not feeling well today, why don't you tell Prince …"
"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well." Gu Danyan rubbed his forehead and took the pills as usual before walking out.
The carriage brought her into the palace. While they were waiting for her at the entrance, they took a short nap, and when they woke up, they saw Duan Chengxuan, dressed in official uniform, sitting inside the carriage.
"What time is it?"
"It's already past noon. I originally wanted to let you sleep a little more peacefully yesterday and used some inner force. I just didn't expect your body to be so weak." Duan Chengxuan glanced at her. "Rest for a while, Imperial Mother is still taking an afternoon nap."
Gu Danyan raised an eyebrow and tugged on Duan Chengxuan's arm. "I'm not a porcelain doll, so isn't your voice too soft when you speak to me?"
