He didn't expect that soaking in a hot spring would have so much to do.

Half of Gu Daiyan's body was immersed in the hot water. She leaned lazily against the smooth stone and only then was she able to relax a little. She only looked at the deep and shallow wounds on her body, which was quite eye-catching.

Outside the room, Duan Chengxuan hastily soaked in the medicinal soup that she had prepared, then wiped himself clean and walked out, wearing only a thin set of clothes. He came before Cheng Er and said, "Have the new nation's spies watch Gu Sheng's every move, and then greet the third and sixth princes and forbid Su Yu Wan from entering Navy Tide. Return his back to the new nation as a sinner."

Cheng Er quickly ordered for the matter to be settled.

Duan Chengxuan couldn't continue to allow Su Yu Wan to commit such heinous acts. Although he knew that Gu Qing Yan had dispersed them to better investigate the news, it was easier for sparks to fly out.

But after all, it was for the greater good. She had never cared whether she was safe or not.

In that case, he could only help in the dark, just in case.

Just as he was thinking that she might fall asleep in the hot spring, he heard a loud thud coming from inside.

"Bastard!" Duan Cheng Xuan kicked open the door.

The assassin who had jumped over the bamboo wall was dressed in black, and the blade in his hand had already been thrown to the side. Gu Danyan only had enough time to put on a wet undergarment to cover the most important parts of his body.

How could Duan Chengxuan allow others to witness this scene? He only raised his hand to block the people that were about to rush in behind him, then ruthlessly threw the assassins that came in one after another out.

The guards outside the door were in a mess as they tied up the assassins.

Gu Danyan looked as if he was frightened, and his cheeks were red from the heat.

Under the wet undergarment, one could still see Gu Tinyan's shoulder was still blue, as if he had just bumped into it.

He took off his outer garment and tightly wrapped it around her. Seeing that her lips were still dark green, he thought that she was truly frightened and could only hold her up horizontally as he coaxed her in a soft voice, "Are there still any injuries?"

"Just hit my back." Gu Danyan tidied up the clothes on his body, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses. He instead chose to bury his body directly into Duan Cheng Xuan's chest, allowing him to carry him back to her bedroom.

After stuffing him into the soft and warm blanket, Duan Chengxuan tucked her in. "Are you scared?"

"A little." Gu Danyan massaged his forehead with a headache: "I was feeling a bit dizzy when I did that, so I only heard some weird noises. Then somehow, I rushed over and bumped into him …" "At that time, I was much more clear-headed. I don't know why, but I couldn't even move my legs …"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Duan Chengxuan carefully rubbed her shoulder. "I'm here."

Moreover, no matter how much stronger she was normally, she was still a slender girl in the end …

Gu Danyan was staring at her with wide eyes. After a while, he finally calmed down. His eyes showed some emotion: "Those people …"

"The people chasing after and killing Ji Lei today are the same group of people. They seem to want to take advantage of the time when something happens to you before they attack Ji Lei." Duan Cheng Xuan's fingertips descended onto the blanket and lightly helped her turn her body around. She looked at the bruise on her shoulder and said in a low voice, "I'll help you get rid of the bruises."

"A diversion?" Gu Liuyan muttered to himself, but he still took off his inner clothes and allowed Duan Chengxuan to lightly massage the bruises. "Ji Lei is only here to inform us, why must he persist in taking his life?"

"Maybe he found something, but he didn't think of it." Duan Chengxuan felt it to be strange as well.

Gu Daiyan felt that Duan Chengxuan's guess was unreasonable.

But now, even if he were to question Ji Lei, who was still not completely awake, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything.

With Duan Chengxuan by his side, experiencing an attack was already his limit.

"I'm so tired." Gu Danyan pulled up the blanket a bit and covered his head: "I'm going to sleep now."

Su Yu never expected that she would be stopped by the guards at the Navy Tide Fringe.

At this moment, the horizon was already pitch-black. If she wanted to return, she could only stay in the desolate wilderness for a night. Not to mention that she hadn't seen Duan Chengxuan.

"I am Crown Princess Jing!" It's fine if you don't want me to enter Navy Tide, but you aren't willing to report to Big Brother Xuan either! "

Su Yu Wan angrily stood under the city wall and looked up at the rows of soldiers.

"This is an order from the Emperor. Not only have you been deprived of all your rights, your position in Navy Tide was also taken. Now that the countries are in a tense situation, the Emperor is not willing to cause unnecessary trouble because of you alone. " The soldiers on top of the city gate spoke word by word according to Cheng Shan's instructions.

Su Yu Wan became angry from embarrassment and started making a ruckus. She even threatened them with what she wanted Duan Chengxuan to do if they didn't open the door …

But from beginning to end, the soldiers on top of the city gate no longer paid any attention to her.

They had never liked this prince's consort. Now that Cheng Shan, who was standing by the Jing King's side, had personally given the order, they naturally had no need to treat her kindly.

After waiting under the city gate for an entire night, he was met with a series of rejections.

The coachmen and servants that Gu Liuyan had prepared also became dissatisfied: "First Miss, let's return to the New Kingdom. It's obvious that they don't want you to take a step into Navy Tide."

Su Yu Wan clenched her fists tightly, then let go of her fists in anger. Her expression became more and more haggard: "Let's go!"

After climbing back into the carriage, Su Yu Wan became flustered. After leaving the barren and wild land, she lifted the carriage's curtain and looked at the coachman. "Let's go to Lildan."

"We have sinned in Eldan and cannot go back." The coachman and his attendant frowned.

Su Yuwan's face sunk. She didn't expect Gu Meiyan to ask the criminals to bring her back to Navy Tide. However, if that happened, they definitely wouldn't send her to hell. Perhaps they didn't want others to know that she was related to a 'sinner' like her.

She could not help but sneer. Just as she was about to bribe them with silver, she heard the sound of many horse hooves in the forest. The coachman yelled out, "No …" Could it be the bandits that were wandering around? "Run!"

The servants quickly climbed onto the carriages and hurried on their way.

Su Yu Wan was also shocked and quickly withdrew into the carriage.

She had only heard of the brutal horse bandits from other people, but now, hearing the sounds of the horse hooves behind her, it was like she was being punched in the heart.

Closer and closer.

All of a sudden, the carriage stopped, and the servants who were squeezed by the door all screamed out.

A long blade chopped off their heads in front of Su Yu Wan, causing her body to be drenched in blood. She could only look at the people by the door dumbfoundedly with her eyes wide open.
