Before Su Yu Wan could even get close, Duan Chengxuan had already placed the small bundle in his hands into Gu Danyan's arms, his eyes filled with warmth.

Gu Danyan could only smile as he held the small bundle in his arms. He leaned over and whispered into Duan Cheng Xuan's ear, "You don't know anything. All you know is that she was sent to the brothel by Gu Cheng."

"I would like to kill her immediately." Duan Chengxuan raised his arm to embrace her waist. "You want me to face her alone?"

"Naturally. Back then, the more you doted on me, the more shame I would feel now." Gu Danyan looked at him coldly and gently pushed him away. She then turned around and smiled, "Thank you very much, Prince. Did you let me down in the end?"

In the eyes of outsiders, it sounded like a compliment with a hint of mockery.

But hearing it in Duan Chengxuan's arms was a threat that would make him keep his mouth shut.

After leaving Duan Chengxuan, Gu Danyan carried the medicinal plant in her hands and arrived at a nearby bank. When the boss saw her identity token, he bowed and said, "So it's Young Miss, please come in."

Gu Danyan followed him inside, where a few people from the Wind Listening Pavilion were already sitting.

Before Duan Chengxuan could arrange the next step, she needed to find a few people to send a message to Gu Sheng. For the sake of absolute certainty, she needed to be a few steps faster than him.

At the same time, Duan Chengxuan had already arrived in front of Su Yu Wan. The latter didn't directly embrace his neck like before, but looked at him with a pair of teary eyes. "Big Brother Xuan, did you hear anything from her?"

This question was very ambiguous, and Su Yu Wan was even more worried that Gu Liu Yan would tell Duan Chengxuan about the past.

Duan Chengxuan also knew about it, so he raised his eyebrows. "Should she tell me something?"

Letting out a breath, the tears in Su Yu Wan's eyes started to fall. With a bit of grievance, she asked, "Then why are you not treating Wan'er like before, Big Brother Xuan?"

Resisting the irritation and impatience in her heart, she raised her hand to caress her cheek. "It's only because of her current status, how could I not care about you?"

Su Yuwan's mood turned cold and clear. She immediately grabbed onto Duan Chengxuan's arm with a smile, but he dodged to the side. Her words were filled with estrangement and indifference. "How is that acceptable?"

If it was before, Duan Chengxuan would absolutely not say such a thing to her.

She could only open up some distance as she wailed about how those servants had treated her. Duan Chengxuan continued to walk inside, but his expression was always cold. When he arrived at the inner court, Duan Chengxuan finally opened his mouth and said, "Go and punish those servants, then send two smart girls to take care of Wan'er."

As soon as she finished speaking, a smile appeared on Su Yu Wan's face, but Duan Cheng Xuan said she still had work to do and left in a hurry.

As she gazed at Duan Chengxuan's swiftly disappearing figure, Su Yu Wan had already noticed that something had already quietly changed.

One of the maidservants was called Xiao Cui. Seeing that Su Yu Wan's mood was downcast, she said secretly, "Many people know about your experiences in the new country. I'm afraid that this is the reason why the Prince has a grudge against you."

What happened to the New Kingdom...

Su Yu Wan's pupils contracted slightly. She stared at herself in the dressing mirror blankly, but it seemed like she could still see countless men's hands grabbing onto her, strangling her throat and limbs, making her breathless.

Xiao Cui looked at Su Yu Wan's terrifying face in the mirror and dared not say another word.

Thus, Big Brother Xuan already knew that she wasn't clean.

But so what? She was the victim! It was all Gu Danyan's fault!

It was rare for her to be able to stay in this room quietly for a day, but she only sent someone to bring her quite a bit of water at night. Even when her skin was red from rubbing the water, she was unable to get Duan Chengxuan to come over and take a look at her.

A sleepless night.

On the morning of the second day, when Su Yu Wan went to the front hall to eat breakfast, she saw Gu Liu Yan holding half a large piece of cake with a bowl of chicken soup by her side with a single glance.

Gu Danyan didn't expect Su Yuwan to wake up so early. She looked up and saw Wu Qing: "Princess Jing didn't sleep all night?"

"There's no need to tease me. You should know what happened to me in the new country." Su Yuwan sat down with a cold face. Her voice was still hoarse from last night's bath.

"Most people know. Otherwise, why would you think that even though I have a guarantee, you would still be locked up here for so long?" After finishing the rest of the biscuit in a few bites, he looked at her coldly, "I originally thought you had some ability, but I didn't expect that even Duan Chengxuan didn't care about you anymore. How do I believe that you can take Gu Cheng down?"

"Stop being so hypocritical, will you vouch for me?" Su Yuwan also looked at Gu Danyan in disbelief.

Gu Liuyan was still looking at her helplessly. Only Xiao Cui came up to her and whispered: "Your Highness did indeed protect you at that time. You wanted to use Navy Tide to bring you back, but unfortunately, your majesty …"

This time, Su Yuwan was truly shocked. However, on the surface, she pretended as if nothing had happened. "Do you really believe that I can take down Gu Cheng?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I made you suffer so much in the crowning ceremony? Was it really just for revenge? "No, I'm doing this so that you can reasonably become Gu Cheng's daughter. You can help me get rid of him." Gu Daiyan elegantly wiped his greasy fingertips, and his cold gaze once again fell on her body. "I didn't expect that you would actually expose the matter about my mother. I've even started to consider whether or not I should tell Duan Chenxuan about what happened earlier."

"No!" Su Yu Wan suddenly became excited.

"Then tell Gu Cheng that the immortal formula has already been leveled with that mountain. Right now, I'm the only one who knows about the formula. Yun Dian died a long time ago." Gu Danyan picked up the bowl of chicken soup. Before Su Yu Wan replied, he raised his eyebrows and looked towards the door.

As Su Yu Wan was unable to agree to it, Duan Chengxuan had already walked down the long corridor.

Duan Chengxuan wore a dark blue robe today, causing the expression on Gu Danyan's face to be a little stiff — it was unknown if it was her misconception, but the patterns of the clothes were somewhat similar to the clothes that symbolized the imperial clan on Qu Li and Qu Hao Hao.

"The clothes sent by the envoy are not bad." As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, she sat down and looked at Gu Xuan Yan with even more interest.

Caught off guard, Gu Pingyan choked on the chicken soup and coughed a few times. He looked at the Prince and said: "As long as you like it."

"I like it very much, but His Majesty also sent a message. If Your Highness doesn't want to do anything else, I don't mind sending my men." Duan Chengxuan picked up his bowl and chopsticks.

"You are truly swift and decisive when doing things, but I think that the first one to make a move might be Lai Xuan." Gu Danyan wiped the corner of her mouth with a smile and stared at him, while her other hand was resting on the table to support her cheek, "Breakfast, why don't we talk about what the Prince did last night?"

Su Yu Wan followed Gu Daiyan's gaze and looked over, she could see the marks under the collar.

The bowl and chopsticks in her hands fell to the ground as Su Yu Wan cried out in disbelief: "Big Brother Xuan, what kind of woman did you find?!"
