Duan Chengxuan's expression was gloomy and cold, and killing intent could be seen within his eyes.

Gu Danyan rarely saw such a furious expression on his face. After a moment of surprise, he said indifferently: "I am only joking with the third prince, what else can I do?"

"Yan'Er." Duan Chengxuan walked over and grabbed her wrist, which was wrapped in a thin piece of cloth.

"Like I said, go back to your Su Yuwan." Gu Liuyan waved his hand away easily: "I did say that this might not have been done by her, but I didn't think that you would believe that what she did was right."

"You can protect her life. In the future, I will make her beg for death."

Every word that Gu Liuyan said was from her heart. She slightly raised her chin. She had always been open with everything that she had done.

A few days ago, the two of them had been similar, but their goals were the same. Now that Duan Chengxuan was able to leave his with a name and a life for her with a single sentence, Su Yu Wan would definitely bully her in the future.

But she didn't even know how much time she had! There was no need to put on an act!

Duan Chengxuan didn't expect her to care so much about this matter, but before he could even react, Gu Daiyan had already sneered, "I've always loved you, but unfortunately, my eyes can't tolerate even a speck of sand, much less wanting to delay any longer."

He turned around and walked away from the two men. The resolution in Gu Danyan's eyes was not seen by anyone.

If she only had two or three more days to live, she wouldn't hold any regrets. However, if there was a way to cure her, she would have to use all her strength to find it. She couldn't allow Su Yu Wan to live another few days.

As soon as Gu Liu Yan left, Duan Chengxuan's cold gaze immediately descended upon Duan Chenrui.

"What did you say to her?"

"Royal Uncle, if I were you, I would probably chase after you right now." Duan Chengrui put his hand behind his back and straightened his back as he looked at Duan Chengxuan. "I want her to help me seize the position of Crown Prince, while I will protect uncle Huang and the rest of my siblings without any problem. She is still considering it, so it can be seen that my love for you is one-sided.

The lines were all for Gu Tinyan.

Duan Chengxuan clenched his fists so tightly that they emitted 'ka ka ka' sounds, but he still turned around and chased after them.

On the other hand, Duan Chengrui continued to stand in the darkness of the side hall with a smile in his eyes. "Royal Uncle, you never knew that Gu Danyan was not concerned about Su Yuwan."

It's your attitude.

Gu Danyan didn't have time to walk to the banquet, so Duan Chengxuan walked out from the side and brought her to a nearby pavilion. All of the palace maids and eunuchs could only watch from afar.

"How did you get hurt when you closed the door and went out of the inn?" Duan Chengxuan originally had a lot of things he wanted to say, but in the end his gaze still descended onto the thin piece of cloth on her wrist.

"It's normal to accidentally cut it." Gu Liuyan spoke frankly. Naturally, it couldn't be said that in order to find out how powerful the poison remains in her body were, she cut her wrist and let out blood because she wanted to know what was different about the bloodline of the descendents of the Yun clan.

After a moment of silence, Duan Chengxuan continued to speak. "Give me a period of time."

"Don't try to please me, make it up to me, my lord." Gu Liu Yan let out a soft sigh, and her curled fingers suddenly loosened up a little: "For you and me, trusting this thing is too extravagant. Maybe we can both sleep and have fun together, but knowing that the other won't kill us on the bed, once we get into serious business, all of our trust will be gone."

"You are truly cold-hearted." Duan Cheng Xuan laughed helplessly.

"I even know that you, Autumn Hunt, also have a request for the Emperor, hoping to lead the troops into battle. "However, you did not tell me about this matter. All you did was take advantage of the time when I said those words." Gu Liuyan also laughed: "Since it's more important than trust, then I'd rather be a couple with you. You don't have to worry about other stuff."

Hard to control.

Duan Chengxuan had never felt so aggrieved before.

Normally, he would think that Gu Liuyan was arrogant because of her personality, but in this place where everyone wore masks, she tore off their bloody skin and showed him everything. She told him one word at a time that those days were all due to true love, and in terms of great matters, the two of them were heartless people.

"My royal brother once said that only a heartless man can be king." Duan Chengxuan said in a confused manner.

Gu Liuyan let out a soft laugh: "I thought you were a heartless person who gave up love in order to be king."

"No wonder I can't become an emperor." Duan Chengxuan withdrew the smile on his face. "Of course I won't hurt you and interfere with you, but I can't see you get into any trouble. If you do what you want to do, it'll be the same for me."

"However, if you are in danger or in danger, I will come and find you."

With a simple promise, Duan Chengxuan turned around and left, his eyes filled with coldness and not a shred of affection.

"Alright." Gu Danyan nodded her head in agreement. Before the palace banquet, she stuffed a jade bottle into his hands: "This is the Yun family's secret medicine."

After saying that, the two went back to their seats and sat down, as if nothing had happened.

Emotion and strangeness were only the differences between love and reason.

When Gu Mingyan took her seat, Jiang Yan beside her had already spoken. "I didn't know your highness' identity before. Please forgive me for offending you."

"Next time, don't bring biting livestock. That's the best apology."

Gu Liuyan said as his eyes lingered over the pastries on the plate. In the end, he hadn't taken one.

Emissary Jiang Yan's expression was rather unsightly. The others were curious to know if Princess Er Dan was sharper than before, but Duan Cong indifferently changed the topic and finally ended the banquet.

After leaving the palace, they naturally had to meet with the envoy.

Now that he looked more closely, he realized that this Master Ai's face was pale and the wounds on his body had not healed yet.

"Aren't you afraid that our Jiang Yan will fight back?"

"These words, you'd better leave them for Lord Gu Sheng." Gu Danyan chuckled and looked towards the long street.

The envoys of the new country came late because of some matters. Now, Gu Sheng brought his men and travelled day and night, only arriving now.

The people around his always came and went, Gu Pingyan could see that Gu Sheng was no longer reserved and sharp, but had a high-spirited look. With this thought, she took a step forward and walked to Gu Sheng's horse, "Lord Gu Sheng."

"Your Highness." Gu Sheng dismounted from his horse and called out respectfully.

Gu Danyan passed the wooden box to the person beside her and said, "This is the medicine that Lord Gu Sheng has requested. Please keep your promise and give me another two thousand slaves."

"Of course." Gu Sheng smiled as he took the wooden box. He opened it in front of everyone and took a look at the sixteen jade bottles.

On the lid of the wooden box, there were a few words — "Betrayal".

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up even more.
