"If I didn't hear Liu'er's news, I would have thought that you guys would have started a fight in the next moment."
Duan Chengyu interjected while the two of them were silent, and he raised his hand to pull Gu Mingyan to his side.
He had seen the time and appearance Duan Chengxuan had when he hurt Gu Danyan.
There were already a lot of things between uncle and nephew, so Duan Chengxuan could only endure his rage and stand up. "No matter what you do next time, tell me first."
"Our honesty doesn't include details." Gu Daiyan moved behind Duan Chengyu. "Moreover, I'll naturally be able to make a trip to Jiang Yan if I'm sick like this."
"No." Duan Chengxuan walked up to her and pulled her out, "Aren't you afraid that Gu Cheng will recognize you? Furthermore, with your appearance, how are you going to run? "
"I still have ghosts. What's more, you promised me before." Gu Danyan glared at him.
"Specific plan." Duan Chengxuan would not watch helplessly as she died. If it was before, he would have thought that Gu Danyan was not that ruthless towards him, but now, it was a completely different matter.
Back then, Su Yu Wan had been ruthless in slandering her for poisoning him, and Gu Danyan had only done so because of the consequences. That day when she cooperated with Duan Cheng Xuan, they had discussed it on the table as a bargaining chip.
Gu Liuyan was someone who could do anything.
"Jiang Yan should've naturally been able to react at random when she went there, so how can there be any details?" Gu Danyan angrily shook him off: "I already said that ghosts will be by my side …"
"I'll give you one month to settle this. If you can't do it in one month, I'll personally bring people to pick you up." This time, Duan Chengxuan unquestionably pulled her over and pushed his into Duan Chengyu's hands. "Watch over her properly. In these few days, I'll hand over all the military authority that belongs to you."
Duan Chengyu was slightly surprised, this was the reason why he came back. Although there was some enmity between them, he nodded when he saw that Gu Pingyan did not seem to dislike him or find him weird: "Then I'll leave it to Imperial Uncle."
"These few days, let her stay in your mansion. I'll send all of her things and people there in a bag later." After he finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan only returned the colourless and tasteless poison bottle into her hands. "I accept your punishment."
Gu Daiyan slightly opened his mouth, but he only watched Duan Chengxuan leave before stuffing the bottle of poison back into his pocket. His tone also became calmer as he said, "Let's go."
Duan Chengyu quickly signaled his with his eyes, and he trotted over. Only when he was happy with his teasing Gu Daiyan did the atmosphere turn for the better.
Since they were in cahoots with the emperor, it was only a matter of words before they left the palace without a sound.
Duan Chengyu arranged her room next to Qi Rou's and had his people break through the walls of the two small courtyards so that this group of people could have a good time. As for Qi Rou, he helped him grind the ink, saying, "I thought she would not get involved with Duan Chengxuan anymore, not to mention her mother's side."
"Feelings are naturally two people's business. As long as there are problems with the two of them, it would be good. However, as a friend, you should be more worried." Duan Chengyu could only smile helplessly as he sized up the items within the estate, as he felt a sense of camaraderie from what happened. "Back then, I even believed that Litchi Bay would eventually reconcile with me."
"In the end, it was all for nothing."
Qi Rou's hand trembled slightly. In the next moment, Duan Chengyu had already stood up and pulled her into his embrace, "That day, I even more so did not expect you and I to be together."
"The right way is the wrong way. People have come out of it." Qi Rou also sighed.
The two of them didn't know that Gu Danyan, who was waiting by the door, had seen their movements clearly.
The night breeze was slightly chilly. She just carried her bowl of soup and sat on the steps outside the courtyard. Leaning against the ice-cold wall, she drank up the nearly cold soup in one gulp.
He wouldn't be able to sleep even if he were to lie down.
Duan Chengxuan chose not to poison Su Yu Wan, and he didn't look at her painful expression.
Just to be punished.
Even though he clearly knew that all of this was due to him, Gu Daiyan didn't know why but he still felt somewhat guilty.
However, on the morning of the second day, no one saw Gu Daiyan. Even Liu'er did not receive any news about him, until he found a note by her bedside — he had to leave early, so he did not say anything.
"Why did she leave alone!" Qi Rou also exclaimed.
Duan Chengyu didn't dare to recklessly send out people to search for him, he only secretly informed Duke Jing and also reported to the Imperial Palace that Gu Mingyan was poisoned and still needed to be treated. The entire Sky Flame understood how big of a crime it was to lose a princess of Er Dan, and it was a mess.
When Duan Chengxuan received the news, Gu Daiyan was walking over from outside. The blade in her hand was bright red, but her hands were still clean and white, and her eyes were as calm as ever.
Cheng Shan wanted to seize the blade in her hand, so she casually handed it over to him and walked straight in front of Duan Chengxuan. "Don't open the door to the dungeon. He still has to compensate for my legs."
She was still wearing yesterday's luxurious clothing, but the corner of her skirt was stained with terrifying blood.
Duan Chengxuan frowned as he told Chengshan to take care of this matter while he directly dragged the person into his room. "You didn't let me torture her, but you personally took action. Your hands are used to save people. "
"So what?" She used all her strength to grip the back of Duan Chengxuan's neck with her slender hand, practically slamming both of their lips together. Only when the blood had replaced their breaths did she take a step back and ruthlessly wipe the blood from her mouth, "Your hand killed countless people, but it also saved countless people. We are the same."
After saying that, she walked out with big strides, "Aside from the time on the road, I will settle the matters at hand within a month."
Duan Chengxuan couldn't help himself from touching his lips that were aching from being bitten. "I only have one month of patience. Once the summer comes, the injuries on Su Yu Wan's body will also be healed."
"I will keep this life to torture her again." Gu Liuyan let out a chuckle: "She still owes me a leg, don't even think about retreating."
"Naturally." Duan Chengxuan couldn't help but lick the wound on his lips, as the sharp, piercing pain caused him to be unable to let go of Gu Danyan, but he could only endure it.
Gu Danyan was patient enough, but fierce enough. How could she make him not love her?
But after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Cheng Shan hurried over with a dazed look on his face. "She imprisoned Su Yuwan in that prison and injured her right leg."
"She deserves it." Duan Chengxuan waved his hands with slightly reddened eyes. The stinging pain on his lips caused him to be unable to calm down, let alone: "It's only a single leg. Go and bring her out later, don't make any noise."
Cheng Shan understood, but just as he wanted to leave, he heard Duan Chengxuan continue, "How did she do it?"
"We underestimated her martial arts. Moreover, a lot of people said last night that it was because of Princess Jing's ghost." Cheng Shan's face was full of self-blame.
However, Duan Cheng Xuan laughed coldly. "Since that's the case, then let's pretend that the ghost of Crown Princess Jing is causing trouble."
