C586

The sun had set in the west, and the colorful clouds had yet to disperse.

Gu Liuyan was dressed in a green and bamboo gown, and her black hair was tied up high with a white jade hairpin. She wore a blue and silver cloak around her shoulders, and was leaning against a pillar at the bottom of the corridor. In her hands was a few books that the prince had given her, all of which she had never seen before.

Su Yu Wan did not bring any maids and attendants with her as she leisurely walked over from the other side: "I didn't expect Brother Xuan to be so fond of Qing Ze."

"The words I said I would kill you are not empty words." Gu Daiyan turned the page lazily, but she didn't take the words to heart. She stood up before Su Yuwan could say anything else.

When the book landed on the ground, her slender jade fingers had almost deformed Su Yu Wan's lower jaw. She had already unsheathed Yun Yi long ago and was just barely able to touch her jade-like neck. With a shallow cut, bright red beads of blood popped out, shocking Su Yu Wan's two large eyes that were filled with pity slightly trembled.

Su Yu Wan didn't expect Gu Ming Yan to make a move. She quickly said, "I'm here with Princess Jing. Do you really dare to make a move?"

"Why would I not dare? "I'm curious though. Could such a large Navy Tide be enough for a princess like you, who has just entered a brothel, or a vicious princess like Princess Jing when she was young?" He only took a step forward and loosened his jaw. However, he held his Cloud Pi close to Su Yu Wan's chest: "Even if I kill you, Duan Cheng Xuan still has a thousand ways to protect me."

Su Yuwan's expression changed. "Are you that sure?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Danyan pushed Yun Yi a few steps back, but then slowly withdrew his hands when he was about to cut his skin. He put Yun Yi back into his scabbard and raised both of her hands, putting the cloak back around her shoulders. He took a few steps back with a smile and looked over Su Yu Wan's shoulder: "You really don't understand women."

Duan Chengxuan walked over in large strides from around the corner. "What I want is only the truth. Even if I want to kill her, I've waited for years. So what if it's just a few days?"

From the looks of it, Duan Chengxuan seemed to be protecting Su Yuwan, but Su Yu Wan knew that Duan Chengxuan would no longer protect her. Although there were hundreds of thousands of grievances and unwillingness in her heart, she had already poured so much time into Duan Chengxuan's embrace.

Su Yuwan left without looking back.

It seemed like Gu Zixian had some intelligence — imitating Gu Liuyan's power was always right.

This was the first time that Duan Chengxuan had seen Su Yu Wan speak in such a resolute and decisive manner, and it was the first time that the usually vicious and gentle woman had revealed such an expression. Even Gu Danyan's lips curved up in a meaningful manner: "She still has to pretend to be deep in love with you everyday, so it is rather difficult for her."

"If you kill someone here, you won't have to worry about your reputation being scolded."

"What's there to be afraid of?" I'm running out of time anyway.

Bending over to pick up the book, Gu Danyan brushed past Duan Chengxuan and brushed off the dust on the book as he went around the corner. After asking Cheng Shan a few questions, he went to look for Qing Ze.

He didn't even bother to ask Duan Chengxuan.

Only the heavens knew that he and his elder brother were secretly plotting many matters. If someone were to incite trouble for Princess Erdan's murder of Crown Prince Jing, the matter would only become even more chaotic.

On the other hand, he was also surprised.

Gu Liuxuan had advocated Lai Xuan to attack first, not wanting him to attack first. However, if he took the initiative and killed Princess Jing, the empress Xu and the Ninth Prince must have colluded in order to sow discord between the two countries, not to mention that Meng Xu had retracted his wings in the middle of the imperial court, and he had withdrawn from the imperial court first due to his personal relationship with Gu Liuyan. The Third Prince was now the sole ruler, leaving behind the excluded princes' ministers who were waiting to launch a counterattack.

Or could it be that Gu Liuyan didn't have the time to worry about these things?

Duan Chengxuan turned around and asked Chengshan, "Where did Yan'Er and Qing Qing go?"

"It means that there's a small hot spring in the villa and he brought the young prince there." Cheng Shan looked at the end of the long corridor from afar and continued, "There are still people behind Miss Su, and the news is endless. Perhaps they are old friends of your master and mistress, and they are all Jianghu people."

"Continue to send people to investigate. Although the Two Elements of Creation Sect is in the silver business, they did not receive Su Yu Wan's personal letter before they were exterminated. They must have someone behind them to help them." Duan Chengxuan waved his sleeve and continued to walk forward, only heading towards the small hot spring at the back of the mountain.

The hot spring behind the villa was not that big, and although the young man was young, Gu Liuyan still insisted on bathing in the hot spring. Although the young man was not that old, Gu Liuyan still insisted on bathing in the hot spring, and only sent guards to watch over it, even the maidservants had no choice but to wait outside.

Put two liang of crushed herbs, two bags of medicinal herbs, five buckets of hot water, and two buckets of hot spring water. Then, prepare the medicinal wine that you brought before and wait for Duan Chengxuan to come. Gu Danyan lazily lied on top of a big rock and said in a low voice.

The young maid remembered that he was at a disadvantage and asked several times before he was able to sort it out.

Gu Ming Yan was drowsy for a while, then she stood up and went into the bath barrel that the servant girl had prepared. She had just woken up a little, when she heard the door lightly open, and she sat in the water and closed her wet robes, the water light soaking her eyes, her voice lazy: "There's a knife on the head of the perverted character, you followed me everywhere."

As the water vapor suffused the air, Duan Chengxuan felt his body tense up and his mouth go dry.

However, due to the person beside him, Duan Chengxuan only considered this to be Gu Danyan's punishment. He said, "Do you still owe me one?"

"The medicinal wine has been prepared. Go and clean it up, don't let me see anything." Gu Danyan looked meaningfully at the man beneath him and laughed. His nose was filled with the smell of medicine.

It really did smell terrible.

Duan Chengxuan could only withdraw, but he didn't forget to give his a kiss that lightly touched the water.

Gu Danyan rubbed the cool corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.

If he died, he would not be able to feel even the slightest bit of warmth. His body would be ice-cold, and he would definitely be warmer than he was now.

"Forget it. I'll just take it one step at a time." Muttering to himself, Gu Daiyan gathered up some energy and hurriedly washed up before drying her body and changing into a clean set of clothes to leave.

She had said that she would do a tug of war for Duan Chengxuan, so she naturally had to keep her promise.

Unfortunately, before he could do much serious work, the two of them had already climbed onto the bed. Gu Daiyan could only wrap her arms around his back and hide in his embrace, "The massage is not over yet …"

"It's been a long time. There's no rush." The man kissed her gently, wiping sweat from her forehead.

Gu Danyan chuckled, but in a place where the man didn't see her, she felt sad.

After lying on the soft couch tiredly, the man's large hands pinched her waist and back. "Why are you so uneasy?"

"I'm a bit tired. I'll borrow your bed tonight." Gu Liuyan was already half asleep.

It was the first time that she wanted to enjoy such warmth and comfort.
