Gu Daiyan leaned against the bed. In the following few days, unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't get out of bed, but her face was getting more and more haggard.
After today's Autumn Hunt, Duan Chengyu was finally going to his feudal fiefdom, and the Qi siblings and Yin Qiufu were going to follow along as well. Only then did she sit in the carriage, holding the relatively obedient White Peony in his hand as he gently rubbed her fur.
Duan Chengxuan saw that she was elegantly dressed, and was unwilling to take off her veil within the carriage. The dark green in front of him caused her to look even more haggard.
"Yan'Er …"
"If she isn't sincere, then there's no need to call me Yan'Er." Gu Ming didn't even lift his cigarette. He continued, "I've already given the secret recipe to the prince. As long as we can find Jade Dragon Snow and Phoenix's guts, it'll be enough. There's no need to put on an act."
"Do you think that all that This King has done for you is to make use of you?" At this moment, Duan Chengxuan didn't have the slightest bit of anger and could only feel helpless.
"Of course not." Gu Danyan lazily raised his head. His eyes were emotionless as he said, "The Prince is ruthless. Even if you use someone, you won't bribe them. You will only threaten them with power. This is the most open and honorable place for the Prince."
When the coachman heard these words of ridicule, his heart skipped a beat.
However, the normally bad-tempered Duan Chengxuan was still patient the entire time. As he looked at Gu Tinyan's gaze, he couldn't help being ruthless. When he thought about how the Third Prince had coveted her for a long time, he could only agitate the jealousy in his heart and was unwilling to let go.
"I will treat the Yun clan well."
"It's a good thing that the Yun family has lost contact with the royal family." Gu Danyan lowered his head again, and lightly scratched Bai Dan's chin, with a soft voice: "If the royal family is afraid of the souls of the Yun family, it would be better to build a temple for people to transcend themselves than to become a Soul Suppressing Residence."
Duan Chengxuan frowned. "How do you know …"
"In this world, there will always be people who have lived long enough to know some secrets." Gu Danyan heard Bai Pi's comfortable meowing and also raised the corner of his mouth, "There is a debt between us. Even if you give me a letter of departure, as long as I tell the Emperor that everything is voluntary, he won't blame you."
"Do you think I'm unwilling to leave you because of the Emperor?"
As his voice faded, the carriage came to a halt.
Gu Daiyan only lifted up the carriage's curtain to glance at the nearby city gate before lifting up the carriage's curtain to descend, as if he didn't hear what Duan Chengxuan said.
She looked at the people at the city gate and slowly approached with the white peony in her arms.
Duan Chengyu stood tall and straight, even the usually carefree Qi Lin had changed his appearance. When he saw the two of them, Gu Daiyan couldn't help but want to laugh.
He still remembered that these two used to eat an overbearing meal in order to busy themselves and go out to take a look.
Yin Gou's eyes had already turned red. She rushed over and rubbed Gu Danyan's head when she saw that she was unwilling to leave. "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this time. If I have the time, I'll go visit you guys."
"I still want to stay …"
"We're already married, what else is there to say?" Gu Danyan slapped her on the forehead and stuffed the white peony into her arms, "Take good care of the white peony and red dates. These two cats have always been at odds with me, causing trouble everywhere."
Yin Qiuyi hugged the white peony, only to see that the person behind Gu Daiyan had already brought the bared teeth and brandished claws of the red jujube over, stuffing it into Qi Lin's bosom.
Looking at the red dates in his arms, Qi Lin felt that things had changed. This red dates was something he had picked up in the past and wanted to leave it to accompany Gu Danyan to resolve the loneliness, but now that red dates had returned to his hands, he had become a family.
However, when he looked at Gu Mingyan again, there was not even a cat left after they left.
"You …" Duan Chengyu didn't know how to reply.
"What's wrong with me?" Gu Liuyan turned to look at him and smiled: "After I become the King of Zong Ping, I will probably be able to eat a lot of hegemony food."
Qi Lin and Duan Chengyu were both feeling rather awkward, Qi Rou only lightly glanced at Gu Daiyan and nodded.
Gu Daiyan understood. It seemed like the Third Prince had already taken those worms from Qi Rou's hands.
The few of them did not say much. Apart from Silverymoon, who was on the verge of tears, everything was fine.
Duan Chengxuan briefly instructed Duan Chengyu with a few words, then allowed him to find Gu Yan to rope him in. At the very least, Gu Yan couldn't be considered as someone from the other side, so Duan Chengyu expressed his understanding and would definitely value him highly.
An hour later, the carriage of Prince Zong Ping, Duan Chengyu, slowly drove out.
Gu Daiyan didn't even look at the back of the carriage as he slowly got into the carriage. As he sat on the cushions, a maidservant jogged over and passed him the steaming hot soup. Gu Daiyan immediately frowned and said, "I'll drink when I get back."
"But the doctor said …"
"You're a doctor yourself, yet you don't love protecting your body."
Duan Cheng Xuan received the bowl of soup from the maid and passed it to Gu Liu Yan.
Holding the bitter soup in his hands, Gu Danyan opened his mouth indifferently: "Your highness really thinks that …" Can my body still be saved? "
"You …"
"Since the plague has spread, although I can leave you with a good reputation as Crown Princess Jing, does Your Highness really think that I can escape unscathed?" Gu Daiyan forced a smile and drank all the soup in one gulp, but his heart was already calm.
On the night of the seventh day after the heavy snow, she had already decided to leave.
What he had used now was only the lowest strategy.
Duan Cheng Xuan looked at the empty medicinal bowl and had mixed feelings in her heart for a moment.
Why did all his lovers suffer from sickness?
Thinking up to here, Duan Chengxuan stretched out his hand to try to pull his into his embrace, but Gu Mingyan lightly dodged and only lightly leaned on his. "I don't have much time left, and I only want to live a few ordinary days in the medicine house.
"Don't you want to live?" Duan Chengxuan stubbornly held onto her wrist and looked into her eyes. "If it's possible …"
Gu Liuyan shook her head helplessly: "If it wasn't because I had nothing to do, I wouldn't have let all the people around me leave. I know that I will never have the chance to meet you again in this life, rather than pestering you with pain, I hope that Prince will learn to let go of his obsession and not force it."
Duan Cheng Xuan was speechless for a moment.
Gu Liuyan originally wanted to borrow Duan Ling Tian's power to kill someone and leave, but in Duan Chengxuan's eyes, this was like a curse from the heavens, as if her heart was being wrapped by thorns.
If he let go and let her do as she wished, he would never be willing to do it.
But if he did not release her, how could he compensate her for the past few years?
The carriage slowly headed towards the estate, and during this entire journey, Duan Chengxuan thought back and forth, but he wasn't willing to let go from beginning to end, and was even more unwilling to feel guilt towards Gu Ziyan. When he got out of the carriage, he only pulled the slim Gu Liuyan into his embrace, and shook his head with a difficult expression.
Gu Pingyan bit his lower lip, but he couldn't bear to look at the pain in Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes.
However, what should be broken would still be broken.
"Since the prince insists, I shall stay." Gu Liuyan struggled out of Duan Chengxuan's embrace and walked forward as she said in a low voice, "I have nothing to lament about anyway, even if I die in the prince's estate, only you, Prince, would be dejected and dejected. It's enough to make up for the loss you had in the past …."
