When Duan Chengrui found out that the two of them were trapped at the bottom of a gutter and had only delivered a single medicinal formula, he practically slapped the table and stood up on the spot, then angrily looked at the Vice Generals before him. "Your majesty the Emperor possesses a body of gold, how can he take the risk?! How are you all looking at this! "

A few people didn't dare to say anything because they were the King of War Gods, who would dare to stop him? Wouldn't that be seeking death?

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. We have already thrown the water sachets and eaten our food. In two days, we will send someone to bring the antidote." Yue Qing who was at the side hurriedly came forward, afraid that the word "Yun Chen" would come out of Duan Chengrui's mouth.

This was the first time the generals heard that Duan Chengrui would be angry as well, so they only shut their mouths and didn't dare speak.

After a while, Duan Chengrui calmed down and calmly settled the matter at hand. Only then did he sit down in a dejected manner. "If her identity is exposed …"

"She's always been smart." Yue Qing quickly comforted her.

At this time, it was already late. Gu Mingyan ate the two pancakes in large gulps and drank some water. She was also thankful that the bed in this shabby room hadn't collapsed yet.

Only when he saw Duan Chengxuan climb up, he was slightly stunned before finally reacting, "Prince, I think it's better if I sleep on the floor."

Duan Chengxuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and raised his hand to stop her from getting off the bed. "There's no need. The night in the mountain ravine is cold, not to mention that we're both men. What's there to be afraid of?"

Gu Daiyan choked and thought for a while. Then, she gathered up the clothes on her body, since both of them had slept for a few years, there was no need to worry. She simply fell down, ignoring the so-called prince behind her, closing her eyes and preparing to sleep.

That night, the two of them had their backs facing each other and Duan Chengxuan covered them with his cloak.

Her nose was filled with the smell of Duan Chengxuan, and it was always difficult for Gu Danyan to fall asleep. She only fell into a deep sleep when Duan Chengxuan got up and left the room the next day.

When Duan Chengxuan returned with the food and water, he saw that she was completely unaware of his sleeping appearance, and had even used his cloak to wrap himself tightly. This made him think of Gu Daiyan, so he sat on the edge of the bed and drank some water, slightly lost in thought.

Gu Liuyan was so similar to Yun Chen that he felt that he couldn't control his own heart.

Whether it was the confrontation between Yun Chen and him in the imperial court, or the words he had spoken that day in Clear Sky Tower, or the feeling of being unwittingly exposed and being like Gu Ming Yan in the world, all these made him clench his teeth and scratch his lungs.

His mind drifted away, so the time he spent in a daze wasn't too bad.

When he finally realized that he didn't like men, Gu Danyan had already gotten up. She sat on the bed and started eating a big biscuit, and looked at him strangely: "If you can't stay idle, why don't you come with me to see somewhere else?"

"What's so good about this place?" Duan Cheng Xuan gathered her thoughts and lightly coughed without any reason.

"When that time comes, we will naturally have to see the situation of this swamp." Gu Danyan climbed down from the bed, rubbed his aching calves and wrists and said seriously: "Besides, the way up the mountain might not be in the poison miasma. The senior from ten years ago probably didn't stay in the house for long, he should still have a place to stay."

"What do you mean?" Duan Chengxuan held his saber as he followed behind her.

Yun Chen and Gu Liuyan were really similar. People couldn't help but listen to them.

"This room has been going on for more than ten years." Gu Danyan shook his head and patted the bed, "Besides, how do you think this bed came down? You can't just throw it off."

Duan Chengxuan frowned. "So there was someone here before."

"That's why when that senior came down here, he might have found something. There was a scent of flowers in that poisonous miasma, but the heaviest smell here should be the soil. Where would the scent of flowers come from?" Gu Liuyan laughed: "I'm guessing someone here is trying to hide something."

Duan Chengxuan indeed didn't think of this. When he heard Gu Tinyan's words, he could only nod and search in other places.

If Gu Liuyan was smart, then Duan Chengxuan was extremely sensitive. Before the sky went dark, they found a cave among countless vines. At an even weirder time, there were actually two Night Pearls in the grooves of the cave.

"What's in there?" Gu Danyan could not help muttering to himself as he walked in slowly.

The interior grew darker and darker. Duan Chengxuan held the Night Pearl in one hand and Gu Daiyan's wrist with the other.

He did not know how long he walked for, but it was clear that there was a small valley hidden in the darkness. The dark valley was small, but countless vines wrapped around the top of his head.

"Whose tomb is this?" Gu Daiyan walked forward and wiped away the dust on the tombstone, revealing the words inside.

Duan Chengxuan only glanced at it before walking to the side of Gu Danyan. His eyes slightly narrowed as he said, "Back then, Emperor Rong Ma of Navy Tide died in the war. I never imagined that his gravestone would actually be here."

Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment. She recalled that Navy Tide once had an emperor who died on the back of a horse. At that time, he even knew a countryside girl.

Gu Danyan froze for a second, then walked around the other side of the stone. Sure enough, there was another tombstone. She was quite shocked: "The Emperor was buried here with that woman."

"I heard that 50,000 silver and thousands of blades disappeared with that ancestor." Duan Chengxuan walked up and lightly frowned. "Maybe the people that came after were all for the silver and blades."

"Then how could he die here?" Gu Danyan opened his mouth in disbelief. He looked at the fixed vines in the sky and suddenly thought of something: "However, I think they still lived here for a while."

It seemed like someone had intentionally guided these vines here and sealed off the area.

Both of them were silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.

After a while, due to the pain in his leg, Gu Liuyan stood up: "What about the silver and the sabre?"

"It was secretly taken away by someone. The imperial family came back a long time ago, but did not tell the world." Duan Cheng Xuan walked in front of the gravestone with a gloomy expression. "And this ancestor is an Emperor who doesn't love women. If it wasn't to save the village girl, he wouldn't have come all the way here."

"Indeed, this was not Navy Tide's land back then. We waited for two generations before we fought our way down here." Gu Danyan also nodded.

But she didn't think that the emperor and his beloved girl would live at the bottom of this cliff. According to the situation here, unless that girl was Hua Tuo, they wouldn't live past two or three years.

In the past, Fallen Water Ditch was a place of unmarked graves and deaths. There weren't even any villages or cities nearby. It wasn't until Navy Tide took down this place that there was some traffic here.

Just as she was about to leave, Duan Cheng Xuan squatted down in a daze and said in a low voice, "Can't we get our hands on both lovers?"

Gu Danyan paused for a moment before realizing that the person Duan Chengxuan was talking about seemed to be Su Yu Wan. She laughed bitterly and said, "That's not the case, it's just that I got infected by the river and mountains."

After a moment of silence, the setting sun between the tree vines slowly disappeared, and the entire valley returned to silence.
