The bustling streets outside Gu Cheng's residence were currently in a state of depression.

Although he stood tall and straight, his normally tall hair was now let down, and his face was even slightly puffed. He looked like a child's face that was rarely seen by men, but his eyes were narrow and long, and his aura was biting cold.

Phantom: This dress was something he had learned from Qu Hao.

The back of Gu Daiyan's hand collided with Duan Cheng Xuan's, causing the former to lightly chuckle. He straightforwardly grabbed hold of Duan Cheng Xuan's hand and led him inside, letting Gu Cheng see.

Gu Cheng only felt that this person looked somewhat similar to Duan Cheng Xuan.

"This is?"

"The young master of the stable." Gu Liuyan said in a low voice. He only smiled at Duan Chengxuan before walking up to Gu Cheng, "He followed me here because he's worried about my safety."

"He looks the same …"

"These old matters, my lord, it's better not to speak of them." Gu Liuyan pretended to be worried and coughed a few times.

She was afraid that this new lover would know of her past.

Gu Cheng naturally gave him face, indicating that Ai Qi had already left. Lai Xuan lived in the side courtyard, leaving the two of them to live in the main courtyard alone. Gu Chen naturally gave him face, indicating that Ai Qi had already left him, and Lai Xuan lived in the side courtyard.

"It's just an agreement between us, is it useful?" Gu Cheng said softly.

"After I see the emperor, I will personally come. Lord, you must not let anyone disturb me." Gu Danyan lightly said, and glanced at Duan Cheng Xuan as she spoke, as if she didn't want this' lover 'to know about it.

Gu Cheng understood and nodded before leaving.

Since he knew that Gu Daiyan had only been looking for someone new to enjoy, and the Emperor had not summoned him in time, he instructed no one to disturb him. Even the maidservants and servants had to wait outside the wall to avoid disturbing him.

After Duan Chengxuan entered the room, he sat down and his gaze was awe-inspiring. "This Gu Cheng sure knows how to fight."

"He is naturally smart in order to live to this day." Gu Danyan lazily leaned against the edge of the bed and patted her thigh in disappointment: "I didn't feel it before, but now that Qing Qing isn't here, I'm a bit not used to it."

"Even when you were young, you didn't care about him for a few days. How is he so close now?" Duan Cheng Xuan poured a cup of tea for himself.

"I just thought it was strange." Gu Mingyan leaned against the bedside and looked out the window, "In the past, everything I did was for my own thoughts, without a care in the world. Gu Mingyan propped up the bedside and looked out the window," In the past, everything I did was for my own thoughts, without a care in the world.

Duan Chengxuan had never encountered such a situation before.

After that, when he met his master and his wife, he had placed his heart and soul on these family members. Until now, when he had torn off Su Yu Wan's disguise, he had kept himself at Gu ZIyan's side all the way until now.

In this way, he was the one who couldn't be separated from others.

"Speaking of which, since I'm here, do you think Su Yu Wan would do anything to me in her rush?" Gu Daiyan changed the topic of conversation, lifting up his pillow and blanket.

Her room was completely empty, so she couldn't help but to carefully tidy it up.

Aizi couldn't leave without saying hello, unless she really wanted to go with someone else.

Thinking about this, Gu Daiyan still went to Ai Qi's room, but she still didn't find anything. The room was clean, and there was almost no sign that Ai Qi had lived here before.

"I'm not sure about Ai Qi's personality either." Gu Liuyan had no choice but to turn around and leave, but to bump into Duan Chenxuan who had just entered. The latter supported her with one hand and placed his other hand on the latch, pulling out a small bamboo tube from the back.

Gu Daiyan opened the tube in his arms, and the slip of paper fell off. When Duan Chengxuan inserted the tube into the door, there was a wooden board blocking it. It was a small mechanism.

"Su Yuwan has sent people to assassinate him. She's trying to prove her identity."

With just a few words, Gu Daiyan stuffed the paper ball into his money bag and pulled Duan Chengxuan out. "How did you discover this mechanism?"

The entire gate of the courtyard is like this. It's just that Jiang Yan isn't a mechanism, she's putting some herbs into the bamboo tube." Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice, "You should remember that once upon a time, there was a city that became a dead city. Currently, there are still herbs hanging on its walls, and people of Jiang Yan will treat these herbs as gateways.

"Why didn't I know?" She had read so many local journals.

"For them, it's a matter of convention. Carpenters will pay attention to this matter and leave empty spaces, but whether or not they let it go is up to them. Moreover, many outsiders can't discover the secret behind it, so it's natural that no one would record it." Duan Chengxuan followed behind her. "But this time, fortunately, I've come."

"Yeah, you finally know how vicious Su Yuwan is." Out of the corner of her eyes, Gu Baiyan glanced at the door and only slowed her steps slightly. She leaned over, feigning a kiss on the side of Duan Chengxuan's face, "Gu Cheng has always been worried about the relationship between us."

"Then sit tight." Duan Chengxuan gave a low laugh as he raised his hand to wrap it around Gu Danyan's waist and practically carried her with him as he walked towards the bedroom. However, the latter had already relaxed his body and mind, as he had already gotten used to this kind of action, let alone acting.

The two of them pretended to be in deep love as they entered the room. When the door closed, Gu Danyan glided away from his arms and sat on the bench. She looked up at him and asked, "Now that you know Su Yuwan's personality, what do you want to do with her next?"

"He should have crippled both her arms and legs, and made her forgive Master and Mistress for the rest of her life."

The gentleness that Duan Chengxuan had just ignited had long since turned into ruthlessness.

Gu Liuyan smiled and poured a cup of tea for him: "I just happen to want to find a reason to leave, how about we just play it by ear?"

After a few days, a thousand war horses were ready.

It was rumored that Princess Erdan and her lover never left their homes, and the sounds of laughter and quarreling within the courtyard never stopped. Even the spies sent by Gu Cheng did not notice anything amiss and only felt that the two of them were very intimate.

"On the contrary, I feel that this Jiang Yan sweet cake isn't too sweet. It has the fragrance of flowers and is very tasty." Gu Danyan held a piece of candy in her hand as she looked at Duan Chengxuan from time to time with her pair of peach blossoms that would disturb one's emotions.

The latter could only carry on as a scholar. She called him a beauty, but could only endure it these days. On the surface, she had to show her love, so he could only say softly, "It's also because of you that you are able to eat this sweet thing."

The two of them instead looked at each other and smiled when she spoke in this way, and Duan Cheng Xuan raised her hand to wipe away the powdered sugar from the corners of her mouth.

Gu Cheng had originally thought that the two of them were doing it on purpose, but if he didn't pay close attention to those gazes, it was completely natural. He could only cough lightly a few times. "Your majesty hopes that you can enter the palace tomorrow."

"Oh? "What is it?" Gu Danyan raised an eyebrow and put down the candy in his hand, causing Duan Chenxuan's handkerchief to be brought to his mouth.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then Gu Danyan gently slapped his hand away. His eyes seemed to say, "Let's get down to business."

The latter wiped it clean with determination and raised her eyebrows — she was putting on an act.
