"Don't let me get out of your way. The rest of my life is yours."

After leaving that last sentence, Gu Pingyan revealed an ambiguous expression as he placed a kiss on the side of Duan Chengxuan's face through his veil. He secretly stuffed the small jade bottle and wooden box into his pocket with his fingertip.

Duan Chengxuan's body froze. When he turned around, Gu Danyan had already left his side.

Unable to break free, Duan Chengxuan could only follow Gu Danyan's example and suppress all of his anger and emotions within his heart. He looked at Gu Danyan's gentle glance as she turned around, then raised his hand to hold Su Yu Wan's hand and said, "Yes, I'm back."

"I'm really worried about what she might do to you?"

"She wouldn't dare." The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth curled up, until he saw Gu Pingyan leave in satisfaction.

This was Gu Liuyan's punishment.

Only after leaving the two people did Gu Danyan finally remove the disguise on his face. He then saw the soldier in his courtyard again. He was glad that they did not inform him that he was leaving alone with Duan Chengxuan.

"Help me go to the Wind Listening Pavilion and call Zhang Liangshan and Liu'er over. They both need a room. I will arrange a room in the yard next to theirs." Taking off the veil on her face, she walked up to the wide table familiarly and tied her hair up high with a headband as she spoke, "Then I will need a large amount of medicinal ingredients. I also need two people to help me pass a message to the third prince."

Several of the soldiers looked at each other. They hastily counted the number of soldiers. It seemed that no one could leisurely protect her.

Only then did Gu Daiyan remember that ghost and Qing Dai were not by his side.

"When you can't handle it, I can go and get more people. Maybe I'll be busy for a long time."

"To serve you."

"Don't be so old-fashioned, I'll get the kitchen auntie to cook more for you." Gu Danyan waved at them helplessly and sat down to study the ink.

However, on the other hand, she was also worried about the plight of the Yun clan in this chaotic world. Her mother could not help out in public, but it was not good for the emperor to help her after abandoning her. Gu Cheng's thoughts of immortality had yet to die, and the Yun clan was still in danger.

Moreover, she should teach Su Yu Wan a lesson.

In the end, she still had to write a few letters to deliver to her mother in case she did something else. Leaving Liu'er by her side was a way to reassure her.

Things were proceeding in a neat and orderly manner. The Jing King Manor, which was normally deserted, was filled with an endless stream of people these days. Almost every day, He Liangshan would spend a few hours with Zhang Liangshan in the pharmacy.

Gu Daiyan slept less and woke up in the fourth fragment of the night to write under the candle flame.

As the spring approached, before the tender shoots of the tree had even budded, there was a fresh scent. She no longer shut the windows at night, and only took the letter from the hands of Ping Chuan. The corner of her mouth slightly raised.

"Is it a letter from a ghost?" A voice came from the roof, and Duan Chengxuan, who was dressed in imperial court attire, smoothly landed by her window.

In the past few days, Duan Chengxuan accompanied the empress dowager on a trip to the White Horse Temple, but he didn't get too close to Su Yu Wan.

"Yes, everything is going fine on his side, but Jiang Yan and those people are suspicious after all. Moreover, I had him send all of Lai Xuan's family over to Navy Tide. Lai Xuan had no choice but to provide me some information on Gu Cheng." Gu Danyan passed the letter in his hand over to Duan Chengxuan.

The sky was still dark, but it had been less than two hours since the morning assembly.

Duan Chengxuan read the information in the letter in detail, and it was impossible for him to miss the last few lines of instructions. Most of them were words that told her to sleep more and move less, words that he ate less and wore less.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Gu Danyan was already busy with his herbs. Seeing the lights on in the side room, she said in a low voice: "Liu'er woke up."

"I don't care." Duan Chengxuan continued to stand by her window, and his slender and powerful fingertips fiercely pinched Gu Danyan's chin: "I wish I could kill Su Yu Wan."

"You have to learn to be patient." Gu Danyan didn't get angry, instead, she smiled and slightly raised her head as if she was provoking him: "Su Yu Wan allowed you to vent your anger as you will, but what you got in return was just a series of mistakes. I asked you to endure, for your own good."

"You are quite tolerant." Duan Chengxuan could only let go and ingratiate himself with his by stroking his chin, in exchange for the latter slapping away the back of her hand with a 'pa' sound, but he wasn't angry.

Liu'er put on her clothes and came out. When she saw this scene, she hesitated for a moment before returning.

Gu Danyan looked at Liu'er's actions helplessly: "I have a lot of things on my hands, not to mention the fact that it takes a lot of time to torture people."

"So, is what you gave me in the wooden box true?" Duan Chengxuan frowned slightly.

"Of course. A long time ago, I told you that she was not ill at all." Gu Daiyan calmly smashed the medicine in his hand. He lowered his eyes and said, "But now it seems like her body has already been riddled with thousands of wounds, causing her pain. Naturally, I have thousands of ways."

"No wonder she wasn't pregnant for a long time." Duan Chengxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he said this.

"That was her choice as well. At the beginning, she pretended to be sick to make you believe that she was using drugs with extremely high medicinal properties. Naturally, she would not be able to give birth." When Gu Liuyan said this, her expression became even colder: "That's why she wouldn't let others have children."

Because of this, Duan Cheng Xuan went silent, then she took out the jade bottle that Gu Ming had given her earlier. "You didn't say what the things within this jade bottle are for."

"It's just some colourless and tasteless medicine. It can't kill people, but it can still cause pain."

Gu Xuan Yan suddenly started chuckling. She leaned forward with her hands on the table: "Since you have been enduring for so long, I should be the one to give you some rewards."

The War God was now like a loyal dog awaiting his orders.

No wonder he didn't know what to say when he first stuffed it in his pocket.

They were waiting for him to personally come and ask about it, so naturally, they would have to endure Su Yu Wan for the past few days.

"In terms of major matters, perhaps I will be the one to be in charge." Duan Chengxuan coughed lightly.

"If you want to make the decision, you don't need to take this news of mine in the future." I have warned you many times about the flood, but you still brought Su Yu Wan to do something stupid. I cannot let you go free and let you do something rash and reckless. " Gu Moyan then stuffed another letter into his hand, "It's still early. I'll have to trouble Your Highness to deliver this letter to the demons for me. I'll make a trip to Jiang Yan personally in a few days."

"Jiang Yan is in danger." Duan Chengxuan received the letter and frowned.

"Then we'll suppress the surrounding tribes. If there's any danger, I won't be able to return to Navy Tide or Eldan in time." The corner of Gu Daiyan's mouth curled up into a smile.

"You threatened me with your life?" Duan Cheng Xuan frowned.

"I'm just trying to see how much my life is worth in your eyes." Gu Danyan lightly patted his shoulder: "Let me tell you another piece of news, Mu Qing followed Ai Qi back to Jiang Yan, the Ai Yan family and Gu Cheng are on equal footing, you should know what to do."

"A mere Ai Yan cannot be considered my opponent." Duan Cheng Xuan walked forward a few steps and didn't look back.
