It was rare for the person in his embrace to have a peaceful sleep. His skin, which had just been soaked in the hot spring, was suffused with a light pink glow.

The servant girl beside him originally wanted to place him in a room at the side to take a nap, but Duan Chengxuan had already changed his clothes. He pulled the person on the bed into his embrace and instructed them, "This matter cannot be spread out."

Their eyes turned cold and their voices became deep. The servants and maids did not dare to look at them for too long.

Only Cheng Shan made a sound, and Daoqing had soaked a lot in the hot spring. He was directly sent back to his room by his bodyguards to prevent him from getting sick from the cold.

Duan Chengxuan understood and used a large coat to cover most of Gu Daiyan's face, so no one could see her face. He directly walked down the long corridor, and even consoled his with a low voice when the people in his embrace made some noise, with a slight smile on his face.

"Duke Jing is ruthless. Before his beloved girl, he was just like an infatuated fool."

The nomadic prince could not help but sigh when he saw this. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Yu Wan's face filled with indignation as she walked past him. He could only say helplessly: "One man, one man, one woman.

"When did it become your turn to interfere in this matter?" Su Yuwan's beautiful eyes raised with a hint of coldness.

The prince didn't get angry, instead, he waved his sleeves and left.

As for Su Yu Wan, she was still looking at the person in Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace with hatred, wishing that she could bite off a mouthful of her white teeth and shatter it.

Unfortunately, the night had gradually deepened and the door had not been opened. Su Yu Wan could only think of the two of them sleeping in the same room, and her heart was in turmoil. Instead, they had not slept for the entire night.

The next day at dawn, the group of people once again set out on their journey in a grandiose manner.

It was only ten miles away from the paddock, so there was no need to stay at the Manor for breakfast.

Qing Qing passed her her meat buns, but was hugged by Gu Daiyan with a smile: "Mother hasn't been smeared with oil these days, so you can only eat one. There will be more delicious food later on."

"Right." Qing Qing nodded her head obediently. When she looked up and saw that Gu Danyan's wrist was a bit purple, she quickly asked, "Mother, are you injured?"

"I woke up in the morning and knocked on the corner of the table." Gu Daiyan shook his hand helplessly.

Perhaps it was because of the drugs she had taken, she was once full of energy and vigor. However, when she got up this morning, her vision darkened, and she finally woke up after knocking against several places on the ground. He was lucky that he didn't notice anything strange about Duan Cheng Xuan rushing over to the perimeters as soon as possible.

The youth, on the other hand, was still young and didn't know what was wrong. He could only think about how he had gotten along with his mother in this short period of time.

When they arrived at the paddock, Qing Zi insisted on not separating with Gu Mingyan. Many of the envoys looked at him, so Gu Liuyan picked Qing Qing up and patted the back of his head skillfully: "You sure know how to act coquettishly?"

"What else can I do if mother runs away?" The girl smiled and buried herself in the hollow of her neck.

The attendants could only add a seat for her and let Qing Shui sit by her side. Quite a few ministers looked over and whispered to each other.

Gu Danyan knew that the smell of medicine was strong, so he specially made some suitable powder to cover up the smell. He made Qing Shui sneeze a few times along the way, and looking at the red tip of his nose, Gu Daiyan forced a smile: "You want to sit with your mother even if you have to endure?"

"Right." Qing Qing nodded seriously, then took a glance at Duan Cong, who was standing on the platform, and said in a low voice, "Daddy told me to go to the palace more often in the future, to accompany the Emperor."

"Of course I can learn a lot from following the Emperor, but it's the same with the commoners." Gu Liuyan had never given up any time to teach Qingze because the two of them had only spent a short amount of time together. He was very gentle, but the most important thing was that he needed to be taught verbally.

On the other hand, Qing Yi loved to listen to Gu Mingyan's words very much. Every time she did so, she would take it very seriously.

When everything was ready, the princes would go in and hunt as they had done in the past. This year, however, they only had the subordinates of envoys from various countries, but it was a pity that Gu Liuyan did not bring anyone with a high level of martial strength. If one were to say that the strongest person beside him was the Azure Skysplit King.

As the horse galloped into the forest, Duan Chengxuan cheerfully sat down next to Su Yu Wan with an indifferent expression as he conversed with the envoys beside him. Gu Daiyan only glanced for a moment before he looked towards the edge of the forest as if there was a faint smell coming from his nose. After hesitating for a while, she finally stood up and instructed the people beside his, "Take good care of Qingze."

"Did mother discover something?" Qing Qing curiously raised her head, but all he saw was a dark green mountain forest. She rubbed her head and replied, "I'll go find father to accompany mother."

As he said this, he took a detour to the side. Gu Danyan then raised his glass and said to Duan Cong, "Your majesty, this enclosure has been meticulously prepared for several years. Every blade of grass and tree seems to have changed."

"That's true. The enclosures aren't easy to maintain. However, there have been quite a few rare and unique beasts that came out to hunt in hopes of discovering some auspicious signs." Duan Cong heard Gu Qing Yan speak, and her heart began to feel uneasy.

If it wasn't important, Gu Danyan usually wouldn't open his mouth.

"I wonder if I can take a closer look? The grass by the tree seems to be able to be used for medicine." Gu Daiyan smiled faintly.

"Of course." Duan Cong nodded in agreement. Empress Xu also spoke up, "Send someone to follow His Highness, lest they get hurt by accident."

"Many thanks to Your Majesty and Empress."

Gu Ming saluted with the tobacco in his eyes and glanced at Duan Chengxuan before bringing the followers sent by the Empress Xu to the side of the forest. On the side of the stage, the old man known as Elder Xu opened his eyes and smiled sweetly, "I've heard that the medicinal pills are extremely fertile and that such a large area of forest was planted by humans. Looking carefully now, I'm afraid that you've never seen such a deep forest before."

Gu Danyan had forgotten that the envoys from the other countries had come to win over Navy Tide. At this moment, he laughed heartily: "I'm afraid that Mister Xu does not know that I grew up in Navy Tide, not to mention that there is nothing special about this forest."

With this said, many people raised their eyebrows.

The princess never said her name, and no one knew where she came from.

Gu Danyan didn't care about anything else, just moved the tip of his nose and felt the strange fragrance fade. When he raised his eyes, the Void Elder had already closed his eyes again, but Gu Liuyan still felt that this Void Elder still believed that Ai Hui was killed by him.

As she walked deeper into the forest, the incoming flies caught her attention.

The little black bug, about the size of a thumb tip, had a big body and many legs. It stopped at Gu Xuan Yan's fingertip, and the small spike at the back of the thumb did not fall down. Gu Xuan crushed the bug and asked, "Why is this bug here?"

"There's someone here!" The soldier behind him cried out in alarm.

A piercing sound was heard. However, none of the soldiers beside her moved. Gu Liuyan quickly dodged it. The knife with blue stripes stuck into the side of her face. There were two words on it — Secret Medicine.

There was actually someone who didn't give up on the elixir of life.
