All of Gu Liuyan's demands were torture.
When they arrived at the banquet, Gu Danyan sat straight like a princess. She didn't reveal her identity, and she even called Su Yu Wan "elder sister" to her.
She was quite cruel to herself.
Due to the requests of Gu Daiyan, Duan Chengxuan had no choice but to restrain the rage in his heart as he comforted Su Yuwan and Gu Zixian one by one. Every time he comforted her, Gu Daiyan would pretend to glance at him carelessly, but her eyes were filled with pride.
He took his suffering as a pleasure.
"I've never been to Er Dan. Does little sister know about Er Dan's customs?" At this moment, Su Yu Wan opened her mouth. She could only rely on Duan Chengxuan's obedience and obedience to her words.
Gu Danyan had never stayed in there for such a long time. However, all these pairs of expectant gazes were eager to tear off her disguise. She immediately smiled and said: "Of course I know, but if I tell you now, in the future, elder sister will go back and participate in some festivals."
Those gazes of anticipation were all retracted.
"However, Imperial Father has put too much thought into finding Eldest Sister. If possible, I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to let Eldest Sister follow me back first." Gu Danyan stood up and saluted the Emperor with the etiquette of 'Dan'.
In Navy Tide, even if her movements weren't serious, no one would notice.
"Naturally." There was a gentle smile on Duan Cong's face, but the Empress beside him glanced dejectedly at Gu Daiyan.
The empress had lost her power for a long time, and as matters stood, even the Jing King wasn't willing to rope her into the harem. It was only natural that she felt unhappy that the Third Prince was about to ascend to the throne, but in order to become the empress dowager, she could only bear with it and rejoice that the Third Prince's birth mother was long gone.
However, Gu Liuyan seemed to recall that Empress Xu and the Jing King had some connections in the past.
He left some thoughts in his mind as he instructed Duan Cong to set the date of her return to the war as soon as possible.
"It won't be too late to go back after the four seas have settled down. If something happens on the way, it won't be good." Duan Cong intentionally said this.
Gu Liuyan only smiled lightly and gave an imperceptible nod. In fact, it was a decision she had made after discussing it with the Emperor.
When the war was over, she would naturally be sent to Eldan.
However, now that he knew that Su Yuwan had done so many unscrupulous things, Gu Danyan would naturally not let her die so easily. Her previous plan should have changed.
As soon as his voice fell, King Zong Ping and his entourage entered the banquet hall. The usual young miss was standing on the maidservant's seat, standing together with Yin Gou behind King Zong Ping, causing Gu Mingyan to be stunned for a moment before sitting down, listening to King Zong Ping's dignified words.
When the group finally arrived, the atmosphere was much more lively. Gu Daiyan was bored out of his mind, so he just sat there, lost in thought.
Only when the banquet was about to end did she notice that someone was sitting beside her.
Su Yu Wan, who was dressed in brocade clothes, had a smile on her face. She personally poured a cup of wine for her and whispered, "If you send me to Lai Dan, I'm afraid you want my life."
"Elder sister, what are you saying?" Gu Mingyan accepted the wine cup, but lowered her voice and continued, "I'm not satisfied with giving you the position of Princess Aldan?"
Su Yuwan looked at Gu Danyan coldly. To her, Gu Danyan was just a defeated opponent.
"You never know what sort of relationship Big Brother Xuan has towards me." She sneered and placed the wine pot in her hand to the side. "Do you really think you can become the Empress of Navy Tide?"
He was ambitious.
The fine powder fell into the wine and was only drunk by her. Her body was slightly uncomfortable, but she placed a hand on Su Yu Wan's shoulder and smiled. "Duan Chengxuan will be mine."
Su Yu Wan's face was cold, but this time, she didn't have the time to speak.
The person in front of him was clutching his shirt tightly and fell off the chair.
Before he closed his eyes, there was even a tinge of provocation in them.
The wind suddenly blew against Su Yu Wan's face. Amidst everyone's shocked cries, Duan Cheng Xuan practically directly embraced the person who collapsed in front of him and kneeled on the ground. He shouted to the person beside him with a tone that did not allow any rejection, "Hurry and get the imperial physician!"
Duan Cong stood up and looked at Su Yu Wan in disbelief.
Su Yu Wan was so frightened that she shrunk back and subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace to find safety.
However, the person in front of him had already stood up and disappeared from his sight while carrying Gu Danyan.
His fingertip hovered in the air, yet it was tightly clenched.
"Gu Liuyan, you really deserve to die."
He carried her all the way to the bed in the side hall, but Duan Chengxuan still sat on the edge of the bed with an uneasy feeling as he lowered his eyes to stare at the person on the bed. Gu Zixian, who had rushed over behind him, stood at the side and only clenched the handkerchief in his hand without saying a word.
"Miss!" Yin Qiufu rushed in after King Zong Ping, but Liu'er covered her mouth and pulled her to the side. She could only look on worriedly as the imperial physician examined her pulse.
None of the imperial physicians could come up with an accurate answer.
"His Highness was indeed poisoned, but this poison doesn't seem like it was recently administered. Moreover, His Highness is too weak, so it seems that it's best not to use it as you please. We can observe it when she wakes up."
The imperial physicians trembled as they came to a conclusion.
Liu'er had silently arrived beside Duan Chengxuan and whispered in his ear, "This was arranged by the Young Miss herself."
Duan Chengxuan held her hand tightly and only pushed the people beside him back.
After the imperial physicians left, the person on the bed opened his eyes as expected. His two willow leaf shaped eyebrows relaxed, and even the hand that Duan Chengxuan was holding tightened. "If she really poisoned me, how could I not know?"
"What exactly do you want to do? Is it to make me worry? " Duan Chengxuan angrily pulled her up from the bed and pressed his neck into his embrace with one hand. "Since I'm going to torture her, I have a better way …"
"I'm going to wash off the skin on her body." Gu Danyan leaned against his chest and shook off his hand holding the back of her neck, "I will make her live longer than anyone else, and I will make you suffer a lot if you stay by her side."
"You let her continue to be a thorn in your side just to torture me?" Duan Cheng Xuan felt that she was slightly unreasonable.
"I just thought she was dead." Gu Danyan freed herself from his embrace and jumped down from the bed, "When the time comes, she'll be pretending to be Princess Erdan. She'll be Jiang Yan's spy. She'll be Gu Cheng's daughter."
"She will become a flower pear, a relative of Gu Zixian."
Gu Danyan didn't care about being heard by the people in the room. He only stood up calmly: "This time, it's just a small fuse. It's the fox tail that Su Yuwan exposed when she wanted to kill me."
