No one really cared about the side chamber.
Only when Gu Danyan allowed Duan Cheng Xuan to change into a clean set of clothes did she place a hand on his chest, burying half of her face in his neck. She said in a muffled voice, "This side chamber was originally prepared for me."
"If uncle finds out that I've just entered the palace …"
"If you have the guts to say so, I don't mind looking at your wounds." Gu Danyan subconsciously rubbed her head. In this cold winter, being able to touch this warm body like this only made her more drowsy.
Duan Chengxuan could only lightly press onto her shoulder and said in a low voice, "I thought you were against me."
"Something to fire at, something to reject."
"…"
Duan Chengxuan angrily pressed the side of her waist, and only after exchanging a low grunt did he open his mouth. "This is the first time you've taken the initiative."
"If I don't train on the bed, you guys will throw me to the ground the moment I pick up my sword and sabre. I will only get even angrier." Gu Liuyan raised her head a little and tapped his chin: "If Su Yuwan knew I had just left and was happy like a god with you, she would have exploded with anger just thinking about it."
"As long as you're happy." Duan Chengxuan lost his temper as well.
However, Gu Liuyan didn't reject him, so he was secretly happy.
It was unknown whether Gu Liuyan was warm or tired, but after a while, she sank into a deep sleep. In her dreams, she would even subconsciously whimper a few times, and her fingertips would always grip the back of her head. When Duan Chengxuan discovered this, he would place his hand on her palm, and after a light kiss on her forehead, she would calm down.
It didn't seem important what dream he was having or what he was doing at the moment.
It wasn't until the banquet that the guards outside the door were forced to knock on the door. Gu Daiyan slowly opened his eyes, his first reaction was to rub his forehead and ask in a clear voice: "What's wrong?"
"The banquet is about to begin, shouldn't Your Highness …"
"No, let's leave the dinner by the door." Gu Danyan slipped back into the blanket and closed his eyes once more, but it was as if he didn't even look at Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Cheng Xuan had no choice but to turn her body to the side and once again embrace her.
Gu Danyan hadn't slept for such a long time. Early the next morning, she woke up with the smell of food. Duan Chengxuan, who had changed his clothes, was sitting in front of a table as he called out to her, "Get up and eat breakfast."
When he heard that Su Yu Wan wanted to go to the morning market and even asked her to follow him, Duan Chengxuan immediately had a dark expression on his face. "She really thinks that she's Princess Er Dan."
"It's all thanks to you spoiling her for more than ten years." Gu Danyan rubbed his neck and then wrapped his legs tightly around them. This time, he was wearing his cloak as he walked out, but Duan Chengxuan could only secretly follow him.
Su Yu Wan seemed to have gotten used to her current identity. She must have picked out the clothes with the blue water pattern on them. Anyone with sharp eyes would be able to tell that she was from the royal family.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Su Yuwan opened her mouth the moment she saw her.
"I don't know what's in the capital, and I've never been to the morning market." Gu Danyan covered his mouth and yawned. The commoners had already risen in the early morning of winter to do their own things.
The winter in the capital was not as cold as the winter in the Heavenly Flame, but from time to time, snowflakes would drift about.
Thinking of this, Gu Daiyan raised his head and looked at the dark sky. Suddenly, he laughed — — Maybe she could look at the snow with Qing Ze.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Yuwan asked her.
"I'm laughing. On a cold winter day, when your master's wife is below the Nine Springs, she can still feel the bone-piercing cold wind." Gu Liuyan walked forward quickly and bought two pies. She no longer cared that Su Yuwan's face had turned dark. She just wanted to tear her into a thousand pieces.
There wasn't much on the morning market. The only thing that surprised Gu Pingyan was that the little beggar was sharing a piece of cake with Qing Ze. The little beggar was one of Qing's friends who came to the capital. Gu Mingyan had met him once.
When Qing Qing saw her, he excitedly pulled the beggar girl along with him. It was a dirty little girl, Gu Pingyan did not directly pick Qing Qing up, but took off his cloak and draped it over the little girl's shoulders. He wrapped her up and rubbed her head, "Go and play."
The little girl nodded her head seriously while wearing her cloak, and Qing Qing happily followed behind her. That little girl seemed to be slightly older than Qing Shui. The two of them seemed to be siblings.
Su Yu Wan didn't walk fast. She only saw the back of Qing Ze. When she arrived beside Gu Qing Yan, she saw some marks on her neck. She sneered: "Leaving Brother Xuan, you can hook up with a man pretty quickly."
Gu Danyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yu Wan's neck.
Only then did she remember that Su Yu Wan was unhappy about it. The two of them were on the bed, but it was reasonable for them to leave some traces behind. She could only cover it up with her hand. However, if Duan Chengxuan really does accompany you here, then I'll be able to take care of those things … "
"Don't you slander me." Su Yu Wan interrupted her and went with her to a secret teahouse.
Gu Danyan didn't know about this place before, so why did Su Yuwan know about it?
She always felt that Su Yuwan's visit was a bit unusual, or her actions along the way, including how calm she was staying here, but Ai Qi didn't tell her anything about Su Yuwan's movements.
What made her stand in front of him so indifferently?
"I know what you did, and now what do you want to put in my mouth?" Gu Tinyan opened her mouth first.
"I know you hate me and Big Brother Xuan. Aside from that, I can satisfy all of your needs." Su Yuwan had no choice but to say those words.
Gu Danyan knew of her secret. Once Duan Chengxuan found out about this information …
"It's precisely because I hate Duan Chengxuan that I didn't tell him about this matter so quickly." Gu Danyan lazily leaned against the table, "But I don't want anything. I just want to wait until the day of your official wedding to tell him about this."
"I wonder what kind of expression the two of you will show."
"You!" Su Yu Wan held the cup tightly, her face turned pale, and after a moment became calm: "Do you really think I can't stop your mouth? Don't forget the Yun Family clansmen behind you, and that ungrown child of yours, Qingze. "
"What can you do to them?" Gu Danyan's fingertip slid down the table and landed in front of her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Even if Duan Chengxuan doesn't love me, he wouldn't kill me again. I also want Princess Erdan's position back."
Su Yu Wan grabbed her wrist and said coldly: "What do you want!"
"I want Mu Qing's life, can you afford it?" Gu Danyan looked at her provocatively.
