After entering the palace for the banquet, the slaves knelt on the ground, and the ministers were extremely courteous.

Gu Danyan sat down leisurely, but the situation was completely different. These thousand war horses were enough for Emperor Jiang Yan to believe her identity and reward her with a thousand slaves as a gift.

The sound of silk bamboo accompanied by the clashing of iron chains was like the sound of nature.

Duan Chengxuan sat beside Gu Meiyan and did not make any comment on Jiang Yan's actions. He was even less fond of the sweet food and especially displeased with the sound of the iron chains behind him.

"Since the princess has come, why not admire my, Jiang Yan's, dancers?" The emperor laughed out loud and the golden wine cup in his hand shook gently.

Gu Danyan nodded without batting an eyelid. He saw a few frail women leisurely walking to the front of the stage. They were all good-looking and had good figures, but the dance made Gu Daiyan's eyelids twitch.

There was very little material on her body, but her movements were very similar to the woman in the painting, causing the girl to blush.

The gazes of the ministers all went straight to the point that even Gu Cheng's eyes had a tinge of admiration in them.

Gu Mingyan wanted to find an excuse to lower her head, but the officer surnamed Ai suddenly spoke up. "I heard that the princess stood up for a girl earlier. Furthermore, that woman is my lover?"

The scout had arrived.

Gu Liuyan's expression did not change, he could only pretend to enjoy the coquettish dance, and smiled: "I am not angry about this, but Sir Ai, are you suspecting my intentions for Zhu Er?"

"Your Highness and that young lady are both women …"

Even if she did not ruthlessly love me, she is still an important person to me. Now that she has died from the humiliation, I must cooperate with Jiang Yan for the greater picture. However, I didn't expect that you, Jiang Yan, would not feel the slightest bit of guilt for me.

Gu Liuyan slammed the cup down on the table with a loud bang, dispersing all of his elegance and calmness, leaving behind only an overbearing aura: "I'm not the same as you guys who want Zhu Er's life, but you're still stabbing me in the back even now that the situation has been decided. You really are as stupid as a pig, making this beauty lose her luster."

Officer Ai was only scared speechless by Gu Liuyan's attitude.

Where in the world would a princess be so arrogant and despotic in another country?

However, the emperor was extremely fearful of the Ai family. Now that he had provoked Princess Erdan, he was even more unhappy. He only waved his hand. "Princess, there's no need to be concerned. I, Jiang Yan, should never have done this. How about …"

"No need, since I don't want to apologize, there's no point in giving me anything." Gu Danyan interrupted the Emperor with a furious expression, "If the Emperor really wants to do something, I just hope that the Jiang Yan Dan can establish a relationship with him in the future and this will not happen again."

He was acting arrogantly earlier, but now he was acting like he understood the situation.

All of them lowered their heads, not daring to provoke him again.

After settling this matter, Gu Cheng had already continued to speak, "At that time, Miss Jade Pearl had separated from the princess, while Jiang Yan had been bullied by others. This subject has already sent people to deal with it."

"Thank you, my lord." Gu Danyan's face softened a lot, which made the official surnamed Ai grind his teeth in anger.

The women on the stage had already left their seats, the slaves by their sides seemed to have already taken off their slaves, their wrists were covered in the purple and green color of the shackles that had been binding them for a long time. They lowered their heads and obediently poured wine for her, but they were lightly grabbed by Gu Liuyan, and said in a low voice: "Are your wrists alright?"

The woman's body immediately trembled and she quickly shook her head, "This servant doesn't hurt, everything is fine."

"The sound of the shackles is very disturbing. Send people to release it for me." Gu Danyan immediately instructed several of the aldan soldiers behind him. Their voices were not loud, and many people looked over.

Another prince at the side table could not help but say, "Your Highness, it's better not to do this. The shackles represent the status of these slaves.

The woman in Gu Liuyan's hands only lowered her head.

Duan Chengxuan leaned over and removed Gu Yan's hand, "Since these people belong to you, then they're yours. It seems like it's not even time for others to speak."

"That makes sense." Gu Mingyan turned her head to smile at him and raised her hand slightly. "Then let them all go. Otherwise, listening to the sound of the iron chains, I'm afraid I don't know which prison I'm in."

As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan had already stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth. "Eat more."

"I've eaten a lot." Gu Danyan subconsciously replied and then reacted with a few light coughs: "Got it."

Duan Chengxuan smiled but didn't say anything. He felt that this male pet seemed to have done quite well.

The others didn't dare to say anything, but when Gu Liu Yan looked over, the silent Ai Qi secretly made a gesture to open the door, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't see it.

Duan Cheng Xuan lightly pinched Gu Xuan's fingertips: "How do you plan to help Gu Cheng?"

"He naturally has his own ways. He will think of a plan later when the time comes." Gu Daiyan flicked his finger and smiled, actually treating him as though he was Qing Ze's comfort.

Duan Chengxuan could only restrain himself, then he heard Gu Daiyan say softly, "Where did you throw my medicine this morning?"

"In my pocket." At this moment, Duan Chengxuan knowingly sprinkled all of the powder into the wine. "How much you eat in the future and when you eat it, I'll watch."

"Why?" Gu Danyan couldn't help but press his chest and glare at him: "I am the doctor."

"So how many packs of the medicine did you take in a day?" Duan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows as well, then he directly passed the drugged wine to her mouth and said, "I'll have my mother take good care of you when we get back."

"I've already found a way to break it. I only need a few more winter medicinal ingredients to last until winter." Gu Danyan had no choice but to drink the wine and say secretly, "Don't tell my mother."

Gu Tinyan intentionally widened her eyes, making her look pitiful.

Duan Chengxuan's heart tightened. He was even more afraid that Gu Pingyan would truly be angry with him, so he could only cough lightly and nod as he agreed. "Then if you're not feeling well, tell me."

Gu Daiyan also let out a sigh of relief, but the emperor had already noticed the actions of the two of them.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the palace banquet was much more lively, and Jiang Yan's famous vaudeville team had also come up. Gu Danyan was still talking to Duan Chengxuan in a low voice, but when she saw the vaudeville team, she was slightly stunned.

The next moment, a fire pillar landed in the center of the stage. The dancer was standing firmly on the fire pillar, her right leg curled up as she stood in the middle of the pillar with her toes lightly touching the ground.

Everyone cried out in alarm, while Gu Liuyan looked at the pillar of fire with a strange expression before turning back to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng was currently smiling, but he didn't look at her.

In the next moment, Gu Mingyan turned her head to the side, and her sleeve inadvertently flashed past the corner of his mouth. Her fingertip lightly tapped Duan Chengxuan's chin, and his lips pressed together as tiny medicinal pills were pushed into Duan Chengxuan's mouth, along with his breathing that was still reeking of alcohol.

After he left, Gu Danyan leaned against his neck and said: "Don't do anything later."
