C498

This was the first time Gu Danyan felt so safe.

So what if their hearts were connected.

Stepping into the third prince's residence, the attendants led the way.

When Liu'er saw that the smile on Gu Xuan Yan's face did not subside, the doubt in her heart deepened: "I never thought that you and King Jing would have done so many things in private, but I don't know why you are so happy."

"It can't be considered as love. It's just that such an opponent is hard to come by." Only then did Gu Danyan's smile fade away from Liu'er's words: "He and I had a secret battle and we always aroused mutual suspicion. This time, I decided to be honest with him and he also showed his sincerity."

"So you're softhearted?" Liu'er was flabbergasted. She became more and more confused.

"It's not that we're soft-hearted, it's just that we won't be able to find such a person in this world." Before Gu Danyan stepped into the corridor, he only left one sentence, "I finally know that love is just like drinking water."

Liu'er had suffered a lot in the past, and after hearing Gu Pingyan's calm words, her heart sank. She nodded and said, "I understand. I won't tell Master about the relationship between you and him for the time being."

"Thank you very much." Gu Danyan only smiled.

After stepping into the room, Duan Chengrui, who had just returned from a travel trip, saw Gu Liuyan and abruptly stood up.

After not seeing him for a few months, even though Duan Chengrui was busy with political matters, he was still worried about Gu Danyan. Now that the person before him was standing properly in front of him with only an extra veil, his heart was immediately put back into his stomach.

Chang Yiqin didn't expect that she would dare to walk around as she wished while facing Princess Jing's face that everyone had seen. Yue Qing, on the other hand, still maintained her indifferent demeanor.

"It's been a long time. Has Your Highness been well?" Gu Danyan smiled and sat down.

"Are you doing well by the Emperor's side?" Duan Chengrui asked first.

"Back then, it was a couple after all. Besides, right now, his status is right here, so he doesn't dare to do anything to me. Today, I've come to tell you just one thing." Gu Danyan was sitting upright and upright. When Duan Chengrui looked over, he continued, "In the future, I'll have to make plans for Prince Zong Ping. I'm afraid I can't help Your Highness."

"What?" Duan Chengrui's jaw dropped to the ground from shock.

Even Yue Qing couldn't help but take a step forward. "What are you …"

"I have already helped His Highness with a lot of things, but in the future, I will have to plan a few more times for King Zong Ping." Saying this, Gu Pingyan took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve and passed it to Yue Qing, "I've already sent people to investigate these people and matters clearly. In addition, I'll have Xu come back to become His Highness' eyes in the future, and I'll properly tell you about the Wind Hall's news. However, I won't be able to accompany His Highness anymore."

Duan Chengrui hastily flipped through the pages, and inside, he could see that she had written down almost everything he had done. Four of them were things he knew and had heard about, but he had never known about the other six plans.

"I thought you would choose to help Imperial Uncle seize the throne."

"He won't stop you from obtaining the throne. You need to pay attention to the emperor so he can decide whether you can stay or not." Under Yue Qing's surprised gaze, Gu Daiyan stood up, "Since you've chosen to be the Emperor, you'll be the only one to walk this path. The overall situation has been decided, rather than competing with others and asking for merit, we might as well seek the stability of the situation."

"You mean, His Highness can definitely become the crown prince?" Chang Yiqin stood up.

"Depends on the Emperor's judgment." Gu Liuyan raised his eyebrows and then looked at him, "Meng Xu will help you."

"Did you convince him?" Duan Chengrui was shocked.

"Even I am unable to control his decision, but he is willing to believe in you. In the future, you can consider using him. If there is a need, the Wind Listening Pavilion will serve His Highness." Gu Danyan's palm was placed on his chest, and he slightly bent his body: "I know what His Highness is thinking, but I have more important things to do now."

This was the way in which Eldan paid his respects to his superiors.

This was telling Duan Chengrui that everything Gu Danyan had done today was serious.

But...

"You can't return to Imperial Uncle's side." Duan Chengrui stood up and walked straight up to her, then he lowered his head and sized her up. "I do indeed have many things that are inferior to Imperial Uncle, but …"

"None of this has anything to do with it." Gu Liuyan had no choice but to look up at him: "I wouldn't be a canary for any man, so Your Highness, can you give up the throne and power for me?"

The answer was clearly visible, but Gu Pingyan smiled in relief and lightly patted his shoulder: "But you can take care of the world for your future Queen, I'm not your best choice. You think you like me, but in truth, you just feel like you can't compare to King Jing."

"But you will never be the best prince, the best general."

"You are the best Emperor."

When the last word was spoken, the fire in Duan Chengrui's heart seemed to burn fiercely as well.

Gu Mingyan had been wrong.

He wasn't unwilling at all, nor was it for any other reason. Instead, during those few days when they didn't disturb each other under the roof, he had that thought in his mind.

Unlike her feelings for Yue Qing and Chang Yiqin, her feelings were too flat, but he couldn't do anything to her.

He only thought that he had handled everything perfectly. When he turned around and left, the man behind her, ignoring the gazes of everyone present, pulled her into his embrace. "It's not because I'm unreconciled, I just seriously hope that you can accompany me."

Gu Danyan's body stiffened. Liu'er also opened her eyes wide as she watched the scene unfold. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness Third Prince, young miss, she actually …"

"I cannot give up the throne for you, but I can also place my heart solely on you." Duan Chengrui tightly held his in his embrace, but his fingertip didn't feel any struggle from the person in his embrace, causing her to feel slightly more at ease.

Chang Yiqin and Yue Qing's expressions changed as they prepared to step forward.

"But I've already promised someone else that I'll be entangled with him for the rest of my life." When the bodies of the people behind him went stiff, Duan Cheng Xuan easily opened his arms, and the smile on his face had a trace of helplessness. "He owes me, I still have to make him pay."

Then, Gu Danyan didn't stay any longer and quickly left without stopping at all.

Duan Chengrui could only stand blankly on the spot, and was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.

Why?

That person clearly hurt you, but why did you have to repeat the same mistake?

He still did not understand. However, when Gu Danyan left the third prince's residence and got into the carriage, he saw the person who had not left the house. He could only helplessly say, "You are wasting my time waiting for me."

"Think of it as punishing me." Duan Chengxuan extended his hand and pulled her to sit on the soft cushion.

Gu Liuyan patted the soft cushion beneath her. Duan Chengxuan's expression was cold as he only said in a low voice, "The Third Prince wants me to become an empress, but you only have old debts for me to settle with you."

Duan Chengxuan's expression instantly changed, but before he even opened his mouth, Gu Xuan's fingertip had pressed onto his lips, and the corners of his eyes were suffused with a smile. "It's good that you know how to be jealous, this is also your punishment."

Liu'er shrunk her neck back. Gu Tinyan's love was not something an ordinary person could endure.
