Xu Yourong was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on her door. She turned her body in a daze and only hugged Mo Yan, who had grown up a bit. She covered her ears and whispered, "It might be an urgent matter."

As a doctor, he was naturally busy. Xu Youcai had put on a coat in a hurry because there were so many things about the Heaven Flame. However, when she opened the door, she was surprised to see the person in front of him. "You …"

"My leg is in so much pain, I really can't take it anymore. Sir, please help me get the medicine." Gu Ming Yan was half-leaning on the door frame and Duan Cheng Xuan was looking behind her with worry, but she didn't dare make a move. She only took out a prescription from the money pouch on her waist and passed it to her.

Seeing the medicinal herbs on it, Xu Yourong hurriedly grabbed it and instructed, "You really don't take your body seriously, Your Highness. Why haven't you quickly carried him to the soft couch at the side and pulled a screen to remove the clothes on the outside."

"It's not that bad." Gu Danyan lightly pushed Duan Cheng Xuan, walked in, and sat down.

In the end, he didn't want to take off these complicated clothes, let alone the fact that Dong Ri was cold. He could only take off his shoes and socks and slowly strip off his clothes, exposing his two legs.

In Duan Chengxuan's impression, the legs of the white jade sculpture were covered with dense lines and the color had dimmed a bit, but from the ankles all the way to the knees, his jade feet were frozen to the point that their toes were red. If one looked carefully, they could see the blisters on the soles of his feet that were punctured, and they didn't seem like the feet of a young miss in the slightest.

Duan Chengxuan was speechless for a moment, then he only half-knelt before lightly touching her leg. "These …"

"Thanks to Su Yuwan that year, I have a poisonous death-faking drug." Gu Daiyan spoke coldly as she quickly moved her feet away, afraid that if Duan Chengxuan touched her again, it would cause her pain again.

"I already intended to compensate you back then, why did you …"

"Qing Di is innocent. I even tried to settle the score with Su Yuwan and you." Gu Liuyan's eyes turned colder.

The two were speechless for a moment, but at least they could explain why.

Now, Gu Daiyan faced him with only one goal in mind: "To let you see the pain on my body is to punish you. If you didn't slander my clansmen, your legs wouldn't have been crippled in the snow."

Duan Chengxuan secretly gritted his teeth as he recalled everything that had happened that year, and now he only considered it to be regret that he couldn't make it.

It was with great difficulty that Xu Yourong managed to grind these medicinal herbs. She ran over and applied the medicine on her leg, and then carefully examined the lines on her leg. She could only find it strange. "This poison …"

"It's the poison of Jiang Yan. I've found the way to understand it, but I don't want too many people to know about it. I hope you'll keep it a secret." Gu Daiyan hurriedly said. If this matter were to spread to his mother's ears, what would happen then?

"You can decide for yourself." Xu Yourong was also secretly surprised. "You have been hiding this poison for a very long time. Does it not hurt to walk?"

"Not bad." Gu Mingyan used a piece of cloth to wrap up all the herbs. Only then did she see Xu Youcai's thin clothes and felt even more embarrassed. "I already have nothing better to do here. I'll be sleeping for the night. Sir, you should go back and rest first."

"I'll go put a quilt on your bed. After a few more days, Navy Tide will be cold. If you don't properly protect these legs, then they should be crippled …" Xu Youjiu fished out quite a few blankets from the wardrobe.

After he made up the bed, he directly laid down on his back, placed the silver ornaments on his head next to his pillow, and said to Duan Chengxuan in a soft voice, "I purposely made you feel guilty, after that, go home and sleep. Don't stay here, remember to close the door well."

Duan Cheng Xuan remained unmoved from start to end.

Gu Danyan also thought about how arrogant Duan Chengxuan was and he wouldn't listen to anything he said. However, if he were to sleep, then it would be time for him to leave.

Since she had always been like this, she fell into a deep sleep. She only thought that if it was just her exhausted sleep, the nightmare would never come.

However, when the golden rooster announced the next day, she slowly woke up to the rustling sounds in the market and placed a hand on her forehead. "You're awake?"

"Hmm, I really want to eat wonton today." She thought it was a ghost and almost blurted out, but when she saw the person in front of her, she immediately rolled over and got up. "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"Is this how ghosts usually wake you up?" Duan Chengxuan frowned slightly, then he once again put the veil back on, then he took a handkerchief and carelessly wiped the corners of her eyes before pressing his into his embrace. "Forget it, I'll take you back."

"There are already people outside in the market. Let me down and walk by myself."

As soon as Gu Liuyan left the bed, she shivered and subconsciously shrunk her neck. At this moment, Duan Chengxuan had already put on her shoes and socks and kicked open the door in front of her. He held his in his arms and quickly made his way to the prince's mansion.

Gu Pingyan only lifted his sleeve to cover half of his face. He glared at him and said in a low voice: "I'm making you feel guilty and heartbroken, not making you feel good."

"I still need to take you back to my sect." Duan Chengxuan didn't look at him, only leaving her chin for her to look at.

"I'm not going. It's a long journey. You really don't want my legs anymore in this winter."

"Now that the war has been suspended, and I don't know what will happen in the future, I should bring you to Master and Mistress's doorstep to offer my respects so that they can know that I have someone I love." Duan Cheng Xuan's words, however, carried a trace of a smile.

"You're disgusting." Gu Mingyan was covered in chicken skin.

"I also felt disgusted that year when Mistress was the same as you, but now that you're in my arms, I won't repeat the same mistake as I did with Mistress. I'll always keep my distance from Mistress." As he spoke up to here, Duan Chengxuan only held the person in his embrace tighter.

In the past, when his master's wife passed away and his father passed away, he had only learned how to restrain his edge. He did not seek to curry favor with the officials, but instead, sought to establish his status with achievements.

Gu Liuyan, on the other hand, had faked his death and told him that the word love was carved into his life.

Gu Liuyan didn't know what to say and just stayed silent.

After returning to Prince Jing's mansion, Duan Chengxuan didn't even let her land on the ground before instructing someone to prepare a carriage, some books and bedding, some water bags, and even some pastries from the Hundred Flavors Restaurant.

By the time she landed on the ground, she was already sitting in a carriage covered in a blanket. That person had even placed two soft pillows behind her back, but he was still worried about wrapping her legs with a blanket.

"Don't tell me that. If you want to bring me directly to your sect, don't forget my current status and my current situation." Gu Danyan finally reacted and lifted the curtain to look at the driver.

"The reason my royal brother asked me to bring you back was because he wanted me to take you into my pocket." Duan Chengxuan swung the reins, put on the conical hat to conceal his face, and said with a smile, "Moreover, this Navy Tide won't be mine in the future, so I won't be able to worry about whatever happens."

Gu Danyan tightly gripped the blanket in her hand as she watched Duan Cheng Xuan's back.

Duan Chengxuan's appearance had changed. Originally, he wanted to make Duan Ling Tian feel guilty, but now, it was his own heart that had lost first.
