Duan Chengxuan walked up to the door, but had yet to open it.
"It's here again …" Gu Danyan's soft voice came from the room, it even sounded like she was crying.
Standing stiffly outside the door, Duan Chengxuan held his breath and focused. He only quietly listened to the movements within, completely concealing himself within the shadows.
Gu Daiyan was awakened by the pain, and the pain in his chest was unbearable as if someone had stabbed him with a wooden spike.
This was not the first time, but she could not find the crux of the problem. The only way was for her to constantly search for the pharmacology, treating it as if she was here to save herself. She just casually let her hair down, opened the window, lit the candle, and continued to flip through the medicine books.
The cold sweat on her face and the movement of her hands covering her chest from time to time were clearly seen by Duan Chengxuan.
He waited until Gu Danyan had finally calmed down before he lightly knocked on the door and looked at her through the window.
Gu Danyan was shocked by the wind and his fingers that were slightly red from the wind tightened. Only after clearly seeing Duan Chengxuan did he say, "It's late in the night, you should go back and sleep."
"Does Auntie know about your condition?" Duan Chengxuan gave up on the door and directly walked to her window. His gaze descended onto her chest. "Is it an old injury?"
"I'm not sure. Perhaps the old wounds from that year had not fully healed and I did not sense the poison from the iron bell. Now, the poison has come back."
Gu Liuyan said it calmly.
However, Duan Chengxuan did not expect that back then, Tie Lingdang's poison. If it wasn't for him pressing the sword to his heart, then there would be no place for this poison to enter.
After being silent for a long time, Duan Chengxuan laughed without a care. "My wound hurts."
Gu Liuyan looked up: "Doctors are everywhere."
"I don't like to be touched."
Duan Chengxuan spoke seriously, and Gu Pingyan was also slightly agitated. He could only agree and have someone enter.
He pulled away the layers of bloody cloth one by one, revealing the deep wounds in them to be extremely savage.
When he found out that this person had actually split open the wound without changing the medicine, Gu Daiyan immediately became angry. He used a pair of scissors to remove the fine cloth. He first took some clean water to clean him up, then he started to apply the medicine.
Gu Danyan had always been careful and gentle with his patients, and he had always been the same with Duan Cheng Xuan.
Until the wounds on his body were rewrapped, the slightly pungent smell of the medicine caused Duan Cheng Xuan to be unable to stop himself from rubbing the tip of his nose.
He raised his hand to stop her movements. "It's getting late. It's time to sleep."
"Just a short while ago, it was enough." Gu Liuyan had managed to get away from the attack, but her wrist was tightly gripped by someone. That person had already picked her up from the wooden chair and gently placed her on the bed: "I'll sleep with you."
"We're not husband and wife anymore."
"Under the gutter, we shared the same bed." Duan Chengxuan forcefully stuffed his into the bed, then he pulled out his remaining hair and put it to the side. He pressed a hand on her shoulder and followed suit, lying down on his side and pulling his into his embrace.
"No need, I'm not sleepy at all. I can't possibly get up and do something useful …"
"I'll tell my aunt." Duan Chengxuan closed his eyes, and the only thing he could do was to hold onto her shoulder without reducing her strength in the slightest.
"You bastard, if you dare to say a word of our agreement, then it's null and void."
"Naturally."
Although she did not sleep the whole night, the people around her still slept soundly, and only when the sun rose did Gu Pingyan finally fall asleep. The man beside her opened his eyes at the right time and quietly pulled open her clothes, only to see that the wound had not faded.
Qu Hao had wanted to look for Duan Chengxuan to discuss the matter between the two kingdoms' envoys, but when he arrived at his courtyard, only Chengshan remained outside. "Your Highness went to accompany you last night. Is there anything that your Highness wishes to do?"
"Not important." Qu Hao cleared his throat a few times. Now that he thought about it, his elder sister had already married someone else. Since there was not a single letter of rest between them, this made sense.
However, when Qu Li found out about this, he flew into a rage. "How dare he!"
He had yet to finish his words when he saw Duan Chengxuan leaning against the bed with a book in his hand. His daughter, who he had not doted on for a few days, had one hand on his daughter's thigh, and the tip of her nose was almost buried in her clothes.
Unable to bear to disturb his daughter, Qu Li could only raise his chin towards Duan Cheng Xuan.
"Uncle, please be direct with me. I just got some bewitching incense." Duan Chengxuan put down his book and pointed at Gu Mingyan's hand on his leg.
He couldn't get rid of this position no matter how hard he tried.
"Why?" Qu Li walked to the side of the bed, not forgetting to examine their clothes.
"She can't fall asleep, and no one around her dares to use force." Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice, his hand lightly stroking her hair. "If I continue to let her off, then in the future, there will be no end to it, and I'll become increasingly disrespectful of myself."
All of Qu Li's reprimands were stuck in his throat.
Not to mention that he hadn't even reached the stage where his daughter was bewitched by her. However, when he spoke up to here, he became even more dissatisfied. "No matter if you're sincere or just faking it, don't come and harm my daughter again."
"If I hurt her again in the future, I will naturally raise my head to meet her."
Duan Chengxuan had already accepted the latter part of Qu Li's words as his fingertips silently brushed away the hair by her ear. "I was wrong and wrong at that time, and now I'll take whatever punishment she gives me. I still have tens of years of time with her, so I can afford to wait."
"That's good." Qu Li didn't dawdle and left.
In the room, Duan Chengxuan bent down and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
No matter how long he waited, he was willing.
Due to the effects of the Bewitching Powder, Gu Pingyan waited until the sun had set before slowly waking up. Her entire body was sore and weak, and the smell of medicine was still lingering in her nose. But after a while, she reacted and half propped herself up as she looked at Duan Chenxuan: "You used my Bewitching Powder."
The slightly drowsy Duan Chengxuan was grabbed by the collar and opened his eyes immediately. "Are you hungry?"
"You used my Bewitching Powder to fool me, and you even changed the topic." Gu Liuyan was still holding onto him tightly, refusing to let go. It was only after Duan Chengxuan had pulled her up from the bed with an ingratiating look in his eyes that she calmed down a little.
Cheng Shan brought over the two people's dinner. Gu Liuyan was like a whirlwind, but since it was dark outside and he wasn't sleepy, he sat down in front of the study table and began to study the pharmacology.
Gu Liuyan, on the other hand, was eating while reading the document. His wounds were bandaged and he had a good sleep. He felt refreshed and refreshed.
When it was late in the morning, just when Gu Mingyan was about to take her medicine, Duan Chengxuan came over and sat beside her. "I'll go find some doctors. If my heart hurts, then it's no small matter."
"I'm afraid that this place is more suitable for me, a better doctor. What's more …" I do not wish for mother and emperor to worry. " Gu Danyan lowered her eyes and then laughed as if she had thought of something: "Besides, Qingqing is about to come. Now that he has become sensible, how can I worry about him?"
