Duan Cheng Xuan indifferently grabbed the back of her head.
"You took the initiative." He had only swallowed half of Gu Daiyan's surprised cries into his stomach.
Fire Pillar and the dancing girl were enough to take away everyone's gazes, but Gu Daiyan had to open his eyes wide to receive this vicious kiss. After being stunned for a while, he gently pushed the person away and stared at him without any threat: "Don't mess around."
Duan Chengxuan knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't speak and only watched silently.
There seemed to be a strange smell in her nose, but the attendant quietly placed the wine cup next to Gu Daiyan. Gu Daiyan had always had a keen nose, and the taste was unusual, but she still poured a cup for herself, and did not forget to smile: "You don't have enough alcohol, you can't drink too much."
Duan Cheng Xuan nodded and only lightly sipped the wine cup, but Gu Mingyan directly drank the entire cup. She even smiled at the attendant beside him. "Wait by the side."
The attendant was still trying to leave when Gu Danyan grabbed him without any hesitation, staring at everything on the stage.
In front of his eyes, the fire was burning brightly as the dancers danced in the fire. Their clothes fluttered in the air as the fire spread out in all directions.
The charred smell of ashes spread in all directions, and the dancer stripped off her fire-stained clothes and fell from the sky.
At this moment, Gu Cheng slapped the table and rose to his feet, shouting loudly, "Protect His Highness!"
The vaudeville crew under the pillar of fire leapt up one by one. Light yellow dust flew out of their bags and splattered everywhere. Everything before them was covered by a light yellow light.
The palace banquet was in a state of chaos. The rising flames almost ignited the floor beneath his feet, causing all the ministers to run away in alarm.
When a group of guards came with water, several people in the vaudeville team committed suicide under the fire pillar. The ministers had long since fled the area, and even the emperor and Gu Cheng had left without surprise.
However, after the smoke and dust dispersed, only Gu Ming, Yan Zhaoxuan, remained completely unmoved. Instead of the servants by his side, it was Duan Chengxuan who raised his hand to pinch them.
He only used a handkerchief to wipe away the dust on his face. Then, he leisurely stood up and dusted off the dust on his body. He slightly raised his chin and said to the Er Dan soldier behind him, "Take this servant down and torture him."
"Yes, Your Highness." Two soldiers dragged their attendants out.
Gu Danyan raised his head and looked at the emperor, "If it weren't for my medical skills, I'm afraid my life would have ended today."
"This is …" The emperor was unable to recover for a long time.
"If you put medicine in the wine, it can also burn a person's life away with this yellow powder." He only pulled Duan Chengxuan over and looked at the Emperor. "When this wine fell into my hands, I already knew that if the Emperor didn't believe me, he would have naturally sent the Grand Hospital to check on everyone's wine."
With that, Gu Danyan walked over to Gu Cheng's side with quick steps and nodded his head, "Although I have sensed something, I still have to thank sire for his reminder. This trip here has been accomplished. In a few days, I'll be returning to your side."
Gu Danyan didn't give anyone any time to ponder, and had long since angrily brought Duan Chengxuan along with him as he quickly left.
The road was smooth and unobstructed. Gu Liuyan should have pretended to be angry, but now, she was truly furious. Duan Chengxuan had seen everything, and he only raised his hand to pinch the back of her neck when they were in the Li Palace.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, was still burning with anger and his eyes were sharp.
"He killed someone and I became an accomplice." She finally said these words indignantly, "If I hadn't been so calm, I would have killed him with a single slash. It would have been the end of it, but I can still hold it in!"
It was unknown who was the real culprit behind his words.
Duan Cheng Xuan carefully pinched her shoulder. "I'll see myself in the future, there's no need to get angry at myself."
"If you don't get angry on your own, you won't be able to make amends even if you do something wrong in the future." As Gu Liuyan spoke up to this point, she turned to look at Duan Chengxuan as well, "Speaking of which, Gu Cheng set up this trap today. All he wants is to blame Ai Zhi for this. Many people in Jiang Yan know that Ai Zhi knows about poisons. However, what is Su Yu Wan planning to do now? "
"I don't know." Duan Cheng Xuan shook his head. "Could it be that I ought to know what she wants to do?"
Gu Danyan sneered and didn't get on the carriage. Instead, he waved his sleeves and headed towards the depressed street in front of him.
Duan Chengxuan didn't understand what was going on. He only felt that Gu Meiyan's anger was quick, but more of it was to vent it out.
He could only follow with small steps.
This time, Duan Chengxuan only felt nervous in his heart.
A few black-clothed people came out from the tree before Gu Danyan had even walked far away, and the long whip in their hands caused Duan Chengxuan to be worried that she would be unable to dodge in time.
Even though Gu Daiyan was furious in her heart, she had clearly thought of this now. However, she received the whip in front of Duan Chengxuan, and with a backhand grip, she pulled the man off the wall with the whip. The others were about to group up and attack, but Duan Chengxuan had already closed the distance with his long saber to block them.
Everything happened in a split-second. Duan Cheng Xuan only remembered that Gu Xuan's whip was loud and clear, and the killing intent in her heart abruptly surged. She only beat those few people down to the ground, unable to get up.
It was only when Gu Danyan handed the assassin to the soldier that he rushed forward to stop Duan Cheng Xuan. "If you keep fighting, they'll all be dead."
"I wish I was dead." From the corner of his eyes, he saw a patch of blood on her collarbone and her snow-white skin that was tainted with a bit of dark red, and his killing intent instantly faded completely. Only the anger within his heart remained, and he held the lapel of her clothes for her and said angrily, "Did you notice something strange just now?"
"Yes." Gu Danyan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but he didn't care about how strong Duan Chengxuan was, causing her new injury from just now to hurt as well.
"Don't think about getting rid of me these days."
When Duan Chengxuan saw that she still had an appearance that was as expected of his, he directly carried his horizontally. Gu Meiyan only felt pain from the whip wound on his back, but the tip of his fingers tightly gripped onto the front of Duan Chengxuan's clothes as he said with a pale face, "I'm fine, I even caught one alive …"
"Shut up." Duan Chengxuan retracted his embrace and quickly walked towards the courtyard house.
Perhaps it was because Duan Chengxuan was too gentle in the past few days, and it nearly made Gu Daiyan forget his true appearance. Now that she was embraced by Duan Chengxuan, her mind was in chaos.
The Er Dan soldiers behind him neatly kidnapped the assassins that had suddenly appeared. They looked at each other in dismay, not knowing whether they should stop Duan Chengxuan or not.
He quickly returned to the courtyard house and directly threw her onto the bed. He raised his hand and was about to pull open her clothes to take a look at her wounds.
"No!" Gu Danyan even kicked him, but his other hand was still tightly clutching his shirt: "These are just small wounds, nothing …"
"Is it really not painful?" Duan Chengxuan pressed his person onto the bed and pressed his fingertips onto her wound. He looked at her and frowned slightly, and the words that had never left his mouth spilled out in his heart, "Have you never been afraid of pain? From the beginning, you've always been like this."
"Do you take yourself for a living person?"
