Spring left and autumn came. Gu Daiyan had long gotten used to the passing of time.
He had already been in this world for a few years, so it was probably because he was entangled with Duan Cheng Xuan and couldn't get rid of the pain.
Today, she felt that the scenery outside was pretty good, and the injury on Duan Chengxuan's chest was almost healed, but it had only stopped there for a single day. She took this opportunity to walk around outside and heard the ruckus in her ears, yet her heart was as calm as water.
This was only a small town that was almost at the border, neither rich nor poor. The herbs that Gu Liuyan had wanted could not be bought, and when she went to the restaurant to eat, she met a bunch of useless people who stared at her lecherously for a long time.
Now the cloud was stuck on the table and couldn't be pulled out.
The Lady Boss smiled as she served the dishes. Then, she glanced at the knife on the table. She thought that the girl had lost her temper and quickly left without a word. Even the customers nearby didn't dare to look at her for too long.
"My luck is really bad …" Gu Daiyan thought for a while, then picked up Yunyi. This time, not only did he not pick him up, but he nearly knocked the bowl and chopsticks off when he slipped, so he could only eat obediently.
Halfway through their meal, Cheng Shan, who had followed Duan Chengxuan's instructions and hastily went to look for someone, walked in as well. When he saw the saber on the table, he was slightly stunned, but Gu Pingyan lightly coughed a few times and said, "I used a bit more strength just now, but I can't pull it out now."
Cheng Shan walked over to pull out the cloud cover and gently wiped it before placing it beside Gu Daiyan's hand. A few people followed behind him, looking very imposing.
Gu Yiyan settled the meal in his hand as usual. Just as he was about to stand up and pay for the meal, he saw a few hangers-on being thrown in, and they were kneeling beside Gu Meiyan, begging for mercy.
"You guys would do such a thing?" Gu Danyan did not even look at the scholar. He only glanced at Cheng Shan, then handed the silver to the waiter, waiting for the silver pieces to be found.
"My lord has instructed me that if I were to meet such a lecher, I will apologize to you one by one." Cheng Shan's voice was soft as he continued, "Besides, sire is not feeling well. He said his heart is starting to ache again."
"I know." Gu Danyan thought for a while and didn't bother to wait for the waiter to find the silver. He hastily walked out of the restaurant, thinking about what kind of trouble this Cheng Xuan had come up with.
On the other hand, Cheng Shan led his men to teach those lackeys a good lesson, then he put away the silver pieces and slowly walked back.
When Gu Daiyan climbed into the carriage, Duan Chengxuan feigned to hide the document. His face was really paler than when Gu Daiyan left.
"I already said not to read the official documents, right?" Gu Danyan climbed onto the horse carriage and flipped open the official document. He frowned: "Did you report the military strength of Yue Shan City together with the Emperor?"
Duan Chengxuan didn't say anything. He had been painstakingly doing business in the Yue Shan City for many years, and now that he had told the Emperor everything, it was probably due to trust.
Gu Daiyan sighed and didn't say anything else. He only took his pulse and asked, "Where does it hurt?"
"My heart aches." Duan Chengxuan pretended to cover his chest.
Gu Liuyan sneered and patted his shoulder: "You want to act weak? Your Highness Duke Jing? "
"How dare you." Duan Cheng Xuan laughed dryly, but in her heart, she was helpless. He wanted to stay ill for a few more days, but it just so happened that she was strong and healthy, and the person she admired was even a godly doctor that returned to glory.
Gu Daiyan shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Take off your clothes, I'll apply the medicine for you."
When Gu Danyan made people take off their clothes, his tone was succinct and succinct, causing people to not have the slightest bit of charm and emotion. Duan Chengxuan was used to it as well, so he took off his shirt and watched Gu Danyan look at his chest for a while before taking out another type of ointment.
Pity that Duan Chengxuan would feel pain every time he coughed, he could only endure while being pinched by Gu Pingyan's nose. The pain only grew worse.
On the second day, Duan Chengxuan switched back to the original medicinal paste. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you use that pungent medicinal paste yesterday?"
"Didn't you want to act weak?" Gu Daiyan asked.
Duan Chengxuan was flustered and exasperated, but he could only obediently lie back down.
When he thought about how he couldn't act as good as Gu Danyan when he was weak and waiting for Gu Danyan to take good care of him, he felt that he really wasn't as good as Gu Shenwei to continue acting as a scoundrel.
Even if Duan Chengxuan's injuries were mostly healed, Gu Danyan would still examine his wounds every day. When they arrived at the vicinity of Xinguo City, Gu Liuyan calculated the time and travelled for half a month longer than usual. Then, he lightly patted Duan Chengxuan's chest and said, "You've recovered quite quickly."
Duan Chengxuan's chest hurt, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Sheng placed the location of their meeting in a nearby town. Gu Cheng would send him to check out the town's officials and the harvests in the fields. All Gu Ming could do was wait.
"I need to personally bring Su Yuwan back to Navy Tide. It would be best for you to return to the Fringe to handle the political matters first."
"I will secretly follow her in case she hurts you again." After he finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan had already left from the back door with Cheng Shan.
Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and put down the cup in his hand. As expected, he saw Gu Sheng walking over with his men.
Su Yuwan looked more haggard than she had the day before. When she saw Gu Danyan, she clenched her teeth, but Gu Sheng gently pulled her back as he entered the door, "Only she is willing to bring you back. Unless you want to go back to where you came from …"
Su Yu Wan's body was trembling. She followed Gu Sheng inside, trying her best to straighten her back.
That day, Gu Sheng had teamed up with the old procuress to act out a play, deliberately causing Su Yu Wan to hurt a guest who came here to play with her. On the other hand, Gu Sheng had secretly taken her away and hid her away, and after getting along with her for a few days, Su Yu Wan knew that although Gu Sheng wasn't a good person, he really wanted to make use of her.
Gu Danyan pretended not to know what had happened as she looked at Su Yuwan, "It's been a few months. I don't know how you've managed to deal with Gu Cheng."
"As soon as I went over, he locked me in his room. There was nothing I could do." Su Yu Wan slammed the table.
Gu Sheng's attendant, however, looked towards the gap in the wall beside him.
Gu Sheng also noticed this. He gently pulled Su Yu Wan behind him. "If you don't want her, I feel that she can be of use to me."
"Oh? "Is that so?" The corners of Gu Liuyan's mouth twitched. "Since that's the case, is it even okay for me to tell those things to Duan Chengxuan?"
"But I'm not as capable as you think." Su Yu Wan angrily sat down, "Gu Cheng is the emperor now, so what can I do to bring him down … "Rather than this, why don't you …"
"You're a princess of a new nation now. If you're willing to send a mission to Jiang Yan for him, he'll surely believe you." Gu Danyan also put down his cup. With one hand, he easily squeezed her chin: "Obtain his trust. Deal with him."
"You can't …"
"Then everything will be made public. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have anyone I can use …"
Gu Danyan suddenly stopped, while Su Yuwan felt like she had caught on to something.
