It was dawn when Liu finally walked out of the house.

Gu Liuyan was still fiddling with the herbs in the window. He had a medical book with him on the shelf in front of him. He waited until Liu'er got closer before looking up: "Good morning."

"Miss, what kind of intentions do you have towards King Jing?" Liu'er couldn't help but ask.

"My thoughts and his are simple. It is just that this method of trust cannot be used to tell the other party everything. Naturally, he will not be honest with me if I have hidden a trump card." Gu Danyan withdrew his gaze and continued reading while saying: "Mother told you to take care of me, but I have long accepted my fate. In the future, the result will only be the result of what I chose. I will not regret it."

The young miss seemed to understand everything, not wanting to crash into the south wall and turn back, not wanting to go against the heavens, only hoping to be able to control her own fate while she flowed.

"Even though you and King Jing aren't honest, perhaps your relationship is calm."

Liu'er walked around the room and took the herb from her. "Mistress is always worried that you're injured, but in my opinion, people have chosen their own lives."

"It's rare for you to be able to say something big like that." Gu Danyan leisurely sat down and ruffled a few strands of hair by his ear, "Third prince should also be returning from Jiang Yan today. You still need to dress for the palace banquet."

"Not only that, Pingchuan has to make a trip back to Yan City. Tonight, I will follow you into the palace."

"Alright." Gu Danyan nodded in understanding. Although she had helped the Wind Pavilion deal with a lot of official matters these days, her mother seemed to have been detained by the emperor. So no one had handled these documents …

"So His Majesty has really detained mother?" Gu Danyan suddenly reacted and smashed his pen on the table.

Liu'er jumped in surprise. After a while, she spoke up, "The lord said that if you don't go back, she won't let you go. Master thinks it's a good idea, so …"

Gu Danyan's face darkened, but he couldn't say that his biological father was truly worried for him. He was only using his own name to keep his mother by his side, but the only thing he knew was that the longer he stayed here, the longer his mother's hand would extend.

Thinking of this, she could not help but have a headache.

Having a mother was indeed a happy one, but she was afraid of being controlled and imprisoned by others. Even if she was family, she would not be able to pass through this hurdle, as if she had suffered all sorts of troubles in the past at the Jing King's estate.

Seeing that Gu Daiyan was lost in thought, Liu'er waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Compared to this, you should think about how to face the Third Prince. Back then, you were on his side."

"I'm on his side now, but I'm afraid he doesn't understand the Emperor's intentions."

Gu Danyan came back to his senses and sighed softly.

As the two were busy in the room, He Jin had arrived. While Zhang Liangshan was studying the prescription, he did not forget to give Gu Daiyan the acupuncture for his legs. However, he was only able to relieve his illness.

Gu Danyan then changed into a clean set of clothes. Liu'er hurriedly walked in: "The Prince wants you to come to the main hall for dinner."

"I'm coming."

After changing her clothes, Gu Mingyan walked slowly into the hall.

The hall was still the same as usual, except that the maidservants behind Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian had already changed their appearances. Gu Daiyan sat down straight, and Liu'er who should have been standing behind her sat down, but Gu Daiyan pulled her close to him and pulled her to sit down, and said to the maidservant behind Su Yu Wan: "You, go get a bowl and chopsticks."

"The servants are not allowed to sit on the table of the Jing King's estate." Su Yu Wan's face stiffened as she blocked the servant girl behind her.

"Is there such a rule?" Gu Shenwei raised his eyebrows. He slowly stood up and placed his hands on Liu'er's shoulders. He then smiled and said, "In that case, I'll be your servant today. These dishes are what you like."

Liu'er felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't figure out Gu Liuyan's thoughts at the moment.

Gu Zixian also felt that this action was inappropriate, but after all these years, she also knew how to observe the situation, so she came out to smooth things over: "It's lively eating with more people, Your Highness should sit down."

Hearing this, Gu Liuyan was very happy, but thinking about how Gu Zixian wasn't that kind of person, since he wasn't the one heading towards her, she sat down. Su Yuwan's maidservant helplessly went to get the bowl and chopsticks.

Su Yuwan glanced at Duan Chengxuan angrily. The latter was currently listening to what Cheng Shan had to say, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to the dining table.

Gu Ming Yan gave Liu'er some food and whispered, "I heard some interesting rumors on the way."

"What?" Liu'er's body stiffened as she ate, not forgetting to glare at her in private.

Gu Danyan revealed a smile as if he was trying to ingratiate himself with his family, and said: "I passed by a village before, and said that it was a little girl who killed the children in the village, and she even poisoned them."

Liu'er's pair of chopsticks paused in midair for a long time, but she still put it down.

"Miss, what do you mean by eating?"

"The Lady Boss also said it during breakfast time. Moreover, if it wasn't for the collapse of the mountain, we wouldn't have been able to find that child's corpse. However, the yamen seemed to have been involved and even found a jar of poison."

"Pa Da — —" The chopsticks in Su Yu Wan's hand fell on the table. She was in a trance.

Duan Chengxuan also looked over, but Gu Liuyan merely glanced at him and said, "That poisonous substance is only a combination of some poisonous grass and fruits. However, everyone in the village knows about this matter, and I've even specially instructed the yamen to investigate this matter."

Liu'er seemed to understand something and continued, "Miss, you shouldn't have meddled with this matter."

If I don't catch her now, I don't know what I should do. Moreover, the father of the dead child is a master of craftsmanship, and the silver needles he made were not bad. I have also decided on a set. Gu Danyan continued eating in this strange atmosphere, saying, "He helped me get a set of silver needles. I asked the yamen to help him investigate the news of his son's death, it's not meddling in other people's business."

"Why is my son so evil these days?" Liu'er slightly frowned, then went to put food into Gu Tinyan's bowl.

At this moment, Su Yuwan's face had already turned ashen. Even Gu Zixian could tell that something was wrong, but Duan Chengxuan could only see Gu Danyan glancing at him. He could only suppress the anger in his heart as he held Su Yuwan's hand and said, "Wan'er is a little afraid. Your Highness, it's better not to say anymore."

Gu Danyan slightly raised his eyebrows: "Then I won't say anymore. Elder Sis has lived under King Jing's command since she was young, so she definitely won't listen to these vulgar matters."

With that, Gu Danyan looked at Su Yuwan meaningfully.

This caused Su Yuwan's entire body to be ice-cold as cold sweat flowed down her body. Duan Chengxuan sat beside her with a calm expression.

What did Gu Liuyan know?
