She did not stay long. She only took a horse from the stable and wrapped it in a heavy black cloak. Then, she went to the border gate alone.
The hidden guards behind her did not stop their steps as well. They obeyed Duan Chengxuan's orders just to protect her and not to interfere with her actions.
Gu Liuyan was already used to sleeping in the open, so she had less time to sleep.
By the time she arrived at the side of the ghost without any obstructions, dozens of days had already passed. The latter intercepted her before the appointed place and placed her in a nearby inn, talking non-stop until Gu Daiyan was unable to hold on anymore and fell asleep against the side of the bed.
Only then did Phantom Demon let out a sigh. After taking off his shoes, he immediately put the person under the bed.
He left the inn and arrived at the mouth of the alley. When he saw the people Duan Chengxuan had sent, he couldn't help but say, "There's no need for all of you to follow me."
"The prince wants us to pass on the message." One of them stepped forward, "I hope that Lord Ghost will not have any ill intentions towards His Highness."
"…"
He didn't want to think about how she would be able to eat Duan Chengxuan to death in such a short amount of time, moreover, he treated Gu Pingyan like a friend or relative. If he really allowed him to marry a girl like this, then he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night, and only a person like the Prince would be able to endure.
"I won't do anything …" Before he could finish, the person in front of him immediately turned invisible.
Along the way, she was actually so anxious that she did not change at all. Even the blood stains on the corner of her dress had not been cleaned up completely, so he could only knock on the door of the clothing store while the stars were still in the sky.
In the distant Sky Fire City.
Su Yuwan fell into a deep sleep. While she was still in a daze, she saw with her own eyes Gu Daiyan walk towards her with a long saber in her hand. She pressed the head she was carrying into her eyes.
"No!" Su Yu Wan woke up from her dream and opened the bed, her entire body covered in sweat.
The wound on her right leg opened up once again, and upon hearing the cry, the servant girl hurriedly ran in with a candle flame. Seeing that the wound on her right leg was split open once again, she hurriedly called for a doctor, but was struck ruthlessly by Su Yu Wan's pillow: "Hurry up and call Big Brother Xuan over! What doctor! "
"Yes …" The maidservant caught the pillow and was almost burnt by the candle flame. However, she quickly went to call for someone.
As for Su Yu Wan, she tightly clutched her throat and started bawling loudly while Duan Chengxuan was only wearing his inner clothes. However, the latter frowned slightly and didn't walk over. "Call for a doctor to treat my wangfei."
"Big Brother Xuan … "I dreamt of it again …" Su Yu Wan's eyes widened in fear as her arms trembled.
Duan Chengxuan walked to the side of her bed and sat down without a change in expression, then he said, "It's impossible that she was the one who did this."
"It's her!" Su Yu Wan gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red.
"At that time, she would have already left in the middle of the night. Furthermore, you have never seen the true face of the thief." He only raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder. "I won't hold grudges against you for slandering her in the past. If you continue to remain stubborn now and insist on creating something out of nothing, I'll send you back to the city in the future to recuperate properly."
"Elder brother Xuan, don't tell me you also believe that I'm the daughter of Emperor Dan!" Su Yu Wan gripped Duan Cheng Xuan's sleeves tightly. "She must have some sort of scheme. She came back to take revenge on me …."
She would always remember that night, when all her memories had been blurred by the strange smell, and when she came to, her right leg had been ripped open, leaving only the smell of damp in her nostrils and the smell of blood that could not be buried in the dungeon.
For three whole days, the place that sent Qing Dai into the Underworld held her there.
Her body had lost its temperature, only the clothes could be used to wrap around her wound, the moldy food could be used for her stomach, and once she rested, she could see the longblade in the fog, as well as the faint smile on Gu Pingyan's face.
When the servants arrived, she was left with only one last breath of life.
When she woke up, only one of the gangsters sighed beside her bed, "Your right leg will take several years to recover. Even if it is recovered, you won't be able to walk very often in the future."
"How can I …" At that time, she really wanted to kill this doctor.
Don't tell me that in the future, when Big Brother Xuan ascends the throne, she can't afford to have one of her legs crippled.
But when she needed Duan Chengxuan, the empress dowager had already called him to the White Horse Temple. She was the only one left in her room, and even the usually reprimanded maidservants didn't dare approach her.
It wasn't easy for him to wait for Duan Chengxuan's return, but he seemed to be cold and indifferent to himself.
Now, looking at his own torn wound, he could not help but cry out loud, "This time, I really didn't do anything."
"During the banquet, it was you who poisoned Gu Daiyan, right?" Duan Cheng Xuan's gaze turned colder. "In the future, you don't have to harm yourself to slander her. I only hope that the two of you are fine."
At this moment, Su Yu Wan finally experienced the feeling of not being able to argue at all.
No matter what she said, Duan Chengxuan didn't turn towards her. When the sky began to brighten, Duan Chengxuan rubbed the center of his brows as he entered one after the other. He said in a low voice, "The Royal Concubine has prepared breakfast. I hope the Prince will join us for dinner."
"Got it. Prepare some clothes for me."
Duan Chengxuan lightly waved his hand and only watched the doctor rebandage her wound before lightly patting her shoulder and walking away without a shred of reluctance.
The room instantly quieted down, just like a few days ago in the dungeon.
Su Yuwan hugged her head, unable to fall asleep for a long time. She could only roll around to vent her anger, "Someone, come!"
The young maid hurriedly rushed in. Seeing that Su Yu Wan's pupils were slightly red, he subconsciously took a step back. "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"Prepare a wheelchair for me, I want to go to the study room …"
"The Prince said that before the injury on your leg healed, you could not leave this room for a day." The young maid spoke, trembling.
Su Yuwan was about to get angry, but the young maid had already disappeared.
She only threw out what she had on hand, but the people outside ignored her.
All of this was thanks to Gu Mingyan!
At this moment, Gu Danyan suddenly woke up from her sleep, as if everything that had happened in the dungeon was still fresh in her mind. Even though the blood had rushed to her forehead and she was covered in cold sweat, she still felt happy.
I won't let her go so easily, Blue.
The ghost pushed open the door and placed clean clothes on the table. Seeing that she was covered in cold sweat but had a smile on her face, he could not help but ask, "Did you have another nightmare?"
"If I can make Su Yu Wan suffer a little more, I should be able to have a few more nightmares." After sprinkling the water droplets on her hands, she walked straight in front of the ghost, nervously tugging at his sleeve. "I injured one of her legs, this is the first time I'm harming someone. I don't know if I did the right thing …"
"She deserves it." The ghost's eyes dimmed. He held her hand in a comforting manner and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "In the future, I will get her back one by one."
