When the sun rose, dawn arrived.

The screams from Phoenix Cry Garden pierced through the clouds as two young maids with pale faces scrambled out of Phoenix Cry Garden. Duan Chengxuan had not slept the entire night as he heard the bold butler roll on the ground and wished he could bury his head into the ground, "Princess, she … She has already left … "

The cup in his hand was crushed into pieces, and Duan Chengxuan felt as if all his soul and spirit had vanished.

"This morning …" "When the two little girls left, the wangfei collapsed by the bed …"

Even before he finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan had already hurried over to Phoenix Cry Garden.

The area outside the Phoenix Cry Garden was filled with weeping and Duan Chengxuan's expression darkened even more. How could the people who were fine yesterday be gone today!? Perhaps it was some tormenting idea that had come to Gu Daiyan's mind.

When he thought here, he felt slightly relieved, but his heart felt as if it had never beat.

Holding his breath, he carefully pushed open the door and saw Gu Daiyan, who was lying on the side of the bed.

Leaning on the edge of the bed, her legs slightly bent, a book of medical skills that he hadn't closed was spread out by his side. However, his face was deathly pale, and for a moment, Duan Chengxuan stood on the spot, unable to move.

After an unknown period of time, he hugged her to his chest.

The person had long since stopped breathing, even his usually slightly raised lips were now flat, and they had even become a little purplish. The note in her hand only mentioned the Southern City Coffin Shop, as if she had expected this day.

Duan Chengxuan had originally thought that if Su Yu Wan and Gu Daiyan left either way, he would be in so much pain that he would wish he were dead.

However, even after he gently placed the coffin on the bed and picked up the man, he still said calmly, "Send someone to inform royal brother that the coffin will be brought back from the southern part of the city according to this note. The Jing King Manor will do something for nothing today.

Everything seemed to be in order, but only Cheng Shan, who was well aware of Duan Cheng Xuan, knew of it.

The calmer his face was, the deeper the feelings he had in his heart.

That year, when Duan Chengxuan was young and fought on the battlefield and lost his beloved general, the end result was that he, Duan Chengxuan, would destroy the city gate in one go and annihilate the entire army. However, he left behind the life of his leader, who was tied to the city gate and slaughtered by the wind and rain.

It was also because of this that the violent rumours of Duan Chengxuan had spread. However, no one knew that his love general had been dismembered and died after being utterly humiliated.

After settling everything properly, Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian both changed into a set of white clothes.

The mourning hall had been set up within four hours, yet Duan Chengxuan didn't want anyone to touch a single cigarette. He only helped her tidy her hair up slightly, then he put the cups that she usually liked into the embroidered box and put them into the coffin.

Su Yu Wan looked at the faint purple color on Gu Daiyan's lips and smiled at a place no one could see.

In this way, she really deserved to die.

From start to finish, Duan Chengxuan did not say a single word, only until half of the coffin had closed and Gu Zixian's sobbing sounds could be heard from behind him. Only then did he slowly close his eyes and softly say, "Find all the painters in the entire city, come here and take a look at Crown Prince Jing's final appearance."

"Big brother Xuan, this would only be disrespectful to wangfei …"

"If I want her to survive in this world, it can be considered a form of compensation." A pair of bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the person within the coffin as he said in a deep voice, "Make a copy of all the medicinal formulas that Consort Jing has obtained from the maester of the Han Lin Courtyard. The book will be compiled into a book and distributed to all the medicinal workshops of Sky Flame."

Su Yuwan's face immediately turned pale, but the people behind Cheng Shan had already begun to act.

With such honor, could it be that Duan Cheng Xuan intends to pacify the rumors and leave a good reputation for her?

"In addition, Princess Jing will sit in the infirmary and conduct medicinal food and makeup. She will receive eight thousand taels of snowflake silver, which will be used as a porridge shed for the refugees."

This eight thousand taels, even if my Jing King Manor owes you a heart of kindness.

This book will become a book, and this painting will be left in the world. Although I won't be able to travel all the way to the north and south while you're still alive, I will still protect you well and let the world know of your benevolent deeds.

Duan Chengxuan slowly closed his eyes as he thought up to this point.

Above the mourning hall, the dozens of painters only wanted to catch a glimpse of Gu Danyan and memorize him.

A total of 1200 copies of these prescriptions were made by the Bachelor of Han Lin Institute. Among them, there were about one in twenty that was widely spread. There were also things such as planting rice and controlling rivers.

Three days later.

However, on the day of burial, Duan Chengxuan didn't follow. Instead, he reprimanded the eight painters, and said that as painters, they were actually unable to trace even the slightest trace of Gu Mingyan's expression.

The coffin was buried in the dead of night.

Duan Chengxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the woman in the painting. Drinking the Green Plum Wine by his side should have been bitter and sweet, but Duan Chengxuan only felt the tip of his nose sour and his mouth salty.

"You like the taste." Putting down the Green Plum Wine, Duan Chengxuan shook his head helplessly at the painting and said, "If only I could put it down."

For an entire three months, the painter of the Jing King Manor drew nonstop, day and night, but in the end, he was still unable to trace even the slightest bit of Gu Mingyan's expression.

Although this was something that would come later, on the night after the burial, cold gusts of wind would fill the air.

These were all instructions from Su Yu Wan. At the very least, she would have been allowed to enter the mausoleum for the next day and sleep together with Duan Chengxuan. Yet, it would have been better to just throw her into the flower fields.

As for the Qi family, they had previously received Gu Liuyan's advice to bring four out of the Misty Rain Pavilion. Even though they still monopolized the area, they were not under suspicion and slowly lost contact with the government. Instead, they grew more and more interested in Gu Liuyan's grave, creating a quiet place in the field.

Looking at the words on the tombstone, Yue Qing coldly ordered her hands behind her to dig.

The small Gu worm was still hovering around Gu Liuyan's body, and it only landed on her wrist. Duan Chengrui carried her out of the coffin, while Yue Qing stuffed the Gu worm back into the box and looked at her wrist, "Is Ling Nan written on this coffin?"

The light of the fire was weak. Duan Chengrui took a careful look and nodded. "Indeed."

He only glanced at the person in his embrace once more. After being locked up for a while, his breath, which had returned with great difficulty, became weaker and weaker.

"Send someone else to send her to Lingnan. This winter, all I have to do is to say that I've worked so hard that I'm sick. I'll catch up in two days and I can't delay any longer."

"Why don't you let me …" Yue Qing volunteered.

But in exchange for his cold gaze, Duan Chengrui said, "If I want to kill her directly, I'll naturally let you go."

Yue Qing didn't dare to continue speaking, and could only watch as the people beside Duan Jirui brought Gu Danyan away, clenching his fists tightly.
