"This matter was known to us long ago. Since it's Senior Princess Er Dan, you must not be disrespectful to me, Navy Tide."
Duan Cong didn't expect Gu Xuan Yan to directly open her mouth and push her forward, saying in a clear voice: "Since you're a prince's wife with great talents, then you'll be the first prince's consort. Are you satisfied by giving me the title of official second rank?"
Gu Liuyan stood up and bowed: "Thank you, your majesty."
Before the few of them could even react to who he was, the Emperor had already passed down an imperial edict. Duan Chengxuan brought Su Yu Wan to kowtow and express his gratitude, while Gu Zixian was demoted to the side of the imperial concubine in front of everyone.
But from beginning to end, Gu Danyan just calmly sat in his seat, lazily supporting himself on the table. His other hand was half-supporting his face as he played with the pendant, occasionally he would take a few bites of food and then casually sit there as if he didn't know the proper etiquette.
Duan Chengxuan's expression seemed as if it could kill, but Su Yu Wan couldn't figure out what Gu Xuan Yan wanted to do.
When the feast was about to end, Gu Daiyan felt the discomfort in his legs. He took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and then lightly tapped his leg. It was unknown if it was because of the Navy Tide Bill's Winter Pill.
Along the way, Duan Chengxuan was following his, so much so that she didn't even pay attention to the condition of his legs.
After she had done enough, she used the excuse that her body was unwell to excuse herself and then heard the Emperor say, "Since your body is not feeling well, then let King Jing bring you back to rest. After you go to King Jing's Estate, you and your sister can spend some more time together."
What a nice young man.
They looked at each other, and Gu Danyan's eyes became even colder.
Instead of letting the tigers return to the mountain, he might as well have her help to get Su Yu Wan to stay behind. In that case, their relationship could be considered to have stabilized.
She originally wanted to reject him, but Duan Chengxuan was already filled with doubts as he quickly walked over, even leaving with Gu Zixian and Su Yu Wan.
On the way back, the four of them sat in the same carriage, and the one who spoke first was Su Yu Wan: "Gu Qing Yan, what are you planning to do? "I'm not some princess, you know."
"I don't want to talk to a fool like you." Gu Danyan coughed a few times as he raised his hand to cover his mouth. Unsurprisingly, he saw some dark red color, so he could only throw the veil to the side, touch a pill and put it in his mouth.
Duan Chengxuan originally wanted to properly interrogate her, but he had already raised his hand in an attempt to grab hold of her.
"Pa ~ ~"
Gu Danyan slapped his hand away without saying anything, but his eyes were still bright in the dark carriage.
"What is it? This time, you want to use me to rope in Erdan? " Gu Danyan faced her with cold words, but his heart was beating faster and faster in his chest.
The people in this carriage had all injured her before.
"I just want to see what you're taking." Duan Chengxuan's hand froze on the spot.
"You only need to carefully investigate what I just said and everything will be fine." Gu Danyan's heart was in turmoil, and his body, which had been running around for a long time, also began to get stronger.
When the carriage was unsteady, she quickly pulled open the curtain and jumped out.
When Fang Xing landed on the ground, a sharp pain came from his ankle, causing her expression to change. But when she left the group, she felt extremely at ease, and only spoke to the person who had stopped to comfort her, "I'll walk back myself. You should send them back first."
"This …" The coachman naturally knew this person's identity. He didn't dare to leave the person on the street in the dead of night.
Duan Cheng Xuan leaped down as well.
Although he was used to being in the same boat as Su Yuwan, she could tell that Gu Mingyan was different from her usual self.
After instructing the carriage to send the two princesses over, he lightly tugged on Gu Daiyan's wrist. He discovered that her wrist was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and the words that he wanted to ask were stuck in his throat.
The night breeze was slightly chilly, and after the two of them had stared at each other for a long time, Gu Daiyan realized that she had been shocked by Duan Chengxuan's actions. She snapped out of her daze and said in a low voice, "I was too excited just now."
"You're afraid." Duan Chengxuan's fingertip had long since descended onto the back of her neck.
Although his vitals were being held down, Gu Pingyan rarely calmed down. Under the moonlight, when the two of them were alone, it was better to be honest with themselves than to show off their weakness in front of him.
"I promised you that as long as you gave up the throne, I would return to your side. However, I'm not continuing to be your wangfei, and in the future, if someone saw me so intimate, it would inevitably arouse criticism." Gu Liuyan's tone was calm, but his free hand was still cold.
It was only her fault for taking medicine to suppress the poison in her body while facing Duan Cheng Xuan, as it instead became even more severe.
Right now, he could only find a way to sit down: "The things that I told you earlier are not false, you can go back at any time to look for evidence. Also, when we return this time, I will definitely not let Su Yuwan leave here alive."
"Why do we always mention her between us?" Duan Chengxuan also lifted up his clothes and sat down. His physique was much stronger than Gu Liuyan, and although Dong Ri only wore a thin body, he didn't have the slightest bit of chilliness. At this moment, his eyes were as bright as a pack of wolves hunting in the snow.
Being covered by the wind by the person beside him, he only laughed lightly, "Between you and me, the cause is her, and the fate is also hers. I can understand why you want to protect her, but since you helped me during that day, I will definitely demand your return in the future. If we can still be together after waiting for a clean slate between us, then I will be yours for the rest of my life. "
Gu Mingyan had spent a long time to come up with a solution.
That day, no matter how hard she tried, she just wanted to cut off her roots in love. But now, it seemed that it would be better to just let things be as they were. After all, Su Yuwan's true appearance was immediately revealed.
Even Duan Chengxuan was able to face his feelings head on, so why couldn't she do so?
Even though the Su Yuwan in Duan Cheng Xuan's heart had long since changed, he still didn't believe that she would kill his Master and Mistress, so he changed the topic and continued, "Then why did you say that she is the Grand Princess Erdan? Do you know that with such honor, in the future, even if she isn't rich, she will still be noble?"
"The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Even if I tell you that I'm going to push her to be my scapegoat, you won't be able to stop me." Gu Danyan lightly rubbed her thigh as she listened to Duan Chengxuan's silence for a moment, then continued, "You should have known long ago that Su Yu Wan isn't as simple as she looks on the surface, and the Emperor doesn't like her. If you give up the throne, your elder brother, who dotes on you, will definitely not cause any trouble for you, otherwise, if the new Emperor ascends the throne, you might be implicated and sent to jail early."
"Are you worried about me?" At this moment, Duan Cheng Xuan only sneered, and his strong fingertips kneaded his temples as his heart was already in chaos.
"Back then, you were infatuated with Su Yuwan and did many wrong things. It is not too late to repay your debt now." Gu Danyan slowly stood up and smiled helplessly: "It has been a long time since we spoke in such a calm manner. You should think about it."
"It's late at night. Where are you going?" Even though Duan Cheng Xuan had a headache, she still followed closely behind.
"I'll make a trip to the infirmary. Since you have trusted me, I should trust you a little." Gu Danyan waved at him.
