Duan Chengxuan's words were always far away and out of reach.

He had made too many promises, but none of them had been fulfilled.

If it were anyone else, they too would not be willing to believe it.

Gu Danyan calmly pulled his hands away and looked at him: "You said so."

"I did." Duan Chengxuan raised his head and even beckoned to Cheng Shan who was outside. "Bring Yun Yi over."

Qing Qing curiously looked at the blade that had fallen into his mother's hands, and then at the chest of his father. He looked at the terrifying silver light, but still lightly pulled on Gu Chuyan's sleeve: "Mother, the blade can hurt people."

"Mother wants something back from him." Gu Danyan gently rubbed Qing Ze's head with one hand without any intention of blocking him. He even said gently: "Since I have picked up the sabre, then I must have the intention of hurting you."

Yun Yi cut open the material and stabbed into the soft leather, tearing a huge hole in his chest.

Duan Chengxuan continued to kneel on one knee as he grit his teeth and let out a muffled grunt. He felt the sensation of the knife piercing into his chest, and the heavy pain that it caused when it grinded through his body caused him to be unable to stop his teeth from trembling.

Gu Danyan's hand was still steady. Of course, she knew how to kill people, and she also knew where the pain would be worse.

Qing Qing only looked at her seriously and never thought of stopping her. After all, her mother gave him a reason to take out the blade.

The first one to realize that something was wrong was Xu Youwei. He quickly walked over from the front of the stage, looking at the dark red blood dripping onto the floor, and shouted in panic: "What are you all doing! Why did she start using a knife!? The child is still here! "

When Feng Miaomiao heard the sound, she hurried over and carried Qing Shui away.

Xu Yourong wanted to stop him, but Gu Mingyan continued to increase the force of the attack. It was only when too much of the blood was lost that Gu Pingyan slowly pulled Yun Yi out.

Xu Youcai was the first to cover the wound, but Duan Chengxuan stubbornly refused to get up. Gu Daiyan looked at him and said, "If you go any further, your life will be gone. Why aren't you afraid?"

"My life is yours." Duan Chengxuan waved away Xu Youwei's hand.

Gu Danyan became increasingly disgusted with him, as if he could see the roguish appearance of Duan Chengxuan. The things that he had done in the past had all come from the depths of his mind and he'd grabbed her by the throat.

Duan Chengxuan was a man that was evil to the bones.

She swallowed the blood on the tip of the blade into her mouth, then pulled on Duan Chengxuan's clothes that were already drenched in blood. She bent down and exchanged a kiss with him that was filled with the smell of rust.

Only when Duan Chengxuan was panting heavily did she relent and let him go. Lowering her head, he retreated to the corner of the soft couch with both legs curled up in front of his chest. "You've earned my trust."

Even from Duan Chengxuan's angle, he could easily see the traces of water on her face.

"All the tears of your life have been used on me." Duan Chengxuan leaned over and used his clean hands to wipe her face. "Don't cry."

"Don't die." Gu Liuyan did not refuse this soft action.

Only when Xu You couldn't bear to continue watching did the both of them send Duan Chengxuan to the inner room. Mo Yan, who had already grown up, brought a handkerchief over and said, "Big sister is a little scary."

Gu Liuyan took the handkerchief from Mo Yan's hand and looked at Qing Ze: "I'm sorry."

"Daddy said not to use the knife so easily." Mo Yan continued to speak. Seeing the wound on her foot open up again, he called for a helper in the shop to bandage her wound.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word.

Qing Qing sat beside her obediently, just like when she was young. She didn't let go of the corner of Gu Pingyan's shirt with her little finger until Mo Yan cleaned it up and held a cup of hot tea. Qing Qing then opened her mouth and said: "The servants in the mansion said that you are a demonic girl."

Gu Danyan stopped in his tracks and looked at him, "Do you think mother is one?"

"I thought my sister wasn't." Mo Yan also climbed onto the soft couch and sat beside Gu Danyan.

On the other hand, Qing Qing frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, she said in a low voice, "But mother is indeed different …"

Gu Danyan pinched the tip of his nose and couldn't help but laugh: "Then you're just a little monster."

Qing Yi rubbed her nose as she hid behind Mo Yan. Mo Yan even straightened his back, making Gu Moyan feel more relaxed. It would be much better if she cried.

"You hit me too hard." Feng Miaomiao carried the blood-stained clothes out and threw it into a wooden bucket beside her. "There's a conflict between husband and wife. Where is the knife? Can't you say anything properly?"

"I don't believe him." Gu Danyan subconsciously withdrew his leg and took a sip of hot tea, "Do you know where King Zong Ping is staying after he returned to Sky Flame City?"

After being stunned for a moment, Feng Miao put down her wide sleeves and said: "I'll get this assistant to help you call him."

"Thank you very much." Gu Danyan's eyes drooped. Only now did she recall her and Duan Chengxuan's identities. If the empress dowager were to find out about this matter, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Hearing the beautiful shop assistant recount what happened in the store, Duan Chengyu rushed to the infirmary without stopping. The blood inside the infirmary had already been cleaned up long ago, and this was the first time Gu Danyan looked at him with red eyes that made him feel guilty and not say a word.

"What did Imperial Uncle do to let you down?" Duan Chengyu sighed and waved his hand at Ruo Li, who was behind him, ordering him to buy the clothes and shoes of the two of them.

Gu Liuyan repeated what had happened at Phoenix Cry Garden. When Duan Chengyu heard this, he was angered: "Serves you right!"

Gu Liuyan didn't dare to answer.

Duan Chengyu was much more mature now, so after thinking for a moment, he still brought Gu Mingyan back to his own residence for the time being. Here, he also sent someone to send the unconscious Duan Chengxuan back to King Jing Palace in one piece.

Ruo Li then quickly came in, "Gu Zixian was kidnapped not too far away, the person behind him seems to be Commander Xiao Hai."

"Royal Uncle has never believed the words of God, I don't think he was the one who buried the white bones and yellow paper."

"Then why didn't Your Highness say it directly just now, in case the two of you …" Ruo Li hadn't finished speaking when a white shadow fell down from the roof.

Because Pingchuan was a frequent visitor, no one stopped him.

"It was Prince Jing who was unwilling to tell me. The empress dowager did this." Ping Chuan opened his mouth without hesitation.

"Since it's like this, then just take it as Royal Uncle giving this blade back to her." Duan Chengyu lazily waved his hand and instructed Ruo Li, "Send someone to take good care of Xiao Hai and then privately send someone to bring him back. If you meet Gu Zixian again, it's better to leave a path for survival. After all, he isn't a bad person."

"Yes." Ruo Li's figure disappeared into the darkness.

Duan Chengyu noticed that Ping Chuan hadn't left yet, so he asked curiously, "You want to stay and take care of her?"

"I didn't come this time to defend Prince Jing, but to tell her that Gu Sheng had sent a letter. Su Yu Wan escaped from the brothel and was now being held captive by Gu Sheng. I wanted to ask her what she would do next."
