"You're hopeless." Gui Gui rolled his eyes in a rather indecent manner.
"This is the truth. I'm afraid you have already forgotten how he once looked like." Gu Liuyan still remembered what he had seen on the night of his wedding and heard about it from the people on the streets.
The ghost did not retort.
"But now that the border is in an unstable state, are you still going to linger around?" Zheng Qiankun clapped his hands. "On the way there, the Fourth Prince asked us to take a detour through the mountains, but a small town suddenly caught fire and half of the town was burned. The Fourth Prince seemed to have led some people to extinguish the fire, saying that the place was called something else …" "Blackwater?"
With a raise of his eyebrows, Gu Liuyan restrained the doubts in her heart and didn't answer.
Since Duan Chengyu was aware of Blackwater Town, it meant that Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengyu, the uncle and nephew, should have shared the news. At the same time, it also meant that the people Duan Chengxuan wanted to mobilize from Blackwater Town were discovered.
According to Duan Feng's ranking, the only person who could possibly be from Blackwater Town was Empress Xu.
Suddenly, he raised his head and waved his hand at the ghost: "Write a letter and tell them where the prince is, and listen to the prince's orders. If you do not obey, kill all your family and friends, and don't be lenient. If you gain merits, then you will not be ungrateful. You can hide in the darkness and not be discovered. "
"They need your letter." The ghost gave her the dry rations in his hand.
"It's too cold." Gu Liuyan shook his head and shrank back.
After a moment of silence, Gui Gui crawled back to the horse carriage and did as instructed to take care of Ming Yan.
After a night of rest, the two teams ran in opposite directions. Before Zheng Qiankun left, he even left behind the names of several escort companies in the vicinity so that they could help each other out.
The horse carriage began to move slowly, and even the ghosts could not help but sigh, "This world is really small. Wherever I go, there will always be people I know."
"Is that so?" Gu Danyan was curled up in the carriage, unable to read even a single word on the book, "I'll rest for a while. Call me when we're there."
"Go to sleep." The ghost pulled the curtain tighter.
He didn't know why, but Gu Liuyan seemed to want to sleep more and more. She used to walk around with her clothes on, but now she also wore her clothes in her sleep.
Phantom frowned. This was not a good omen.
After travelling for two days, he finally returned to the city before midnight. Duan Chengyu only hastily put on a coat as he walked out, and only after seeing that the two of them were safe and sound did he heave a sigh of relief. "Imperial Uncle also told me to mobilize the final troops. I thought something happened to you …"
"He didn't tell you the details?" Gu Mingyan tidied up her hair and followed Duan Chengyu to a nearby courtyard.
"No, he just told me about it and its uses. But I didn't expect anyone to want to destroy it. " Duan Chengyu did not say it clearly, he only made a silencing gesture when the door closed.
Glancing at the ghosts on the wall, the latter left the house in understanding.
"The Sixth Prince told me that there's something fishy going on in the army." Duan Chengyu cleared his throat and finally dared to speak.
"You guys are on the same side now?" Gu Liuyan smiled lightly: "He is someone who wants to seize the throne."
"That's why I'm afraid that he's the one acting on his own. Of course he's going to act along." Duan Chengyu chuckled along with her, then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her while he continued, "In the end, Imperial Uncle still doesn't want me to participate."
Descendants of the royal family always get smart.
Gu Liuyan looked at the note and it was obviously written by Duan Chengxuan — As usual, suppress him. Don't think about it. Take care.
"When did he start nagging like that?" She thought it was something very important.
"God knows." Duan Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But on the other hand, you, haven't you lost some of your humanity these days?"
Gu Liuyan did not continue, "Let's not talk about this. I need you to help me write back to Duan Chengxuan at regular intervals, and to conceal my whereabouts."
She told him about her situation without holding back, as well as her own wishes.
Duan Chengyu had indeed heard some rumors from Qi Rou, but he still felt astonished when he heard it. "If what you're saying is that the phoenix gall bladder's rhizome is an extremely rare poison, then why would Su Yuwan have it?"
"Moreover, it is very difficult to treat the phoenix gall root without being discovered. Mu Qing was concealing his true abilities, and Su Yu Wan really believes Mu Qing. She doesn't know what kind of poison this is." Of course, Gu Liuyan still remembered the curse Su Yuwan had on her. However, at that time, her life was in her hands. She still couldn't tell what poison it was, and she wasn't sure.
"Then what solution do you have …"
"Since he found the stem of the Phoenix gall, then he will definitely take away the Phoenix gall as well. Although the medical records were few, the time interval between the growth of Phoenix gall and Jade Dragon Snow was not more than twenty years. I have Jade Dragon Snow and the Phoenix's gall in my hands, and Mu Qing also has the Phoenix's gall. If it's possible, I can use the Jade Dragon Snow in my hands to test the medicine and use another Jade Dragon Snow to make the antidote. " Gu Daiyan explained in detail.
Duan Chengyu and Qi Rou were different. He was from the imperial family and knew a lot about these medicinal herbs. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What if we don't find the second batch of Jade Dragon Snow?"
"This is just the best guess." Gu Liuyan smiled helplessly: "But maybe, Jade Dragon Snow is not the antidote to the phoenix's gall."
Clenching his fingers tightly, Duan Chengyu looked at her in disbelief: "Then you told me you still wanted a child?"
"How about I use the remaining two years to test the medicine?" Gu Liuyan raised her head to retaliate. The water glow in her eyes made people feel like she was about to cry. Duan Chengyu was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.
Testing drugs meant pain, the pity of those around them, and there were not many ways to survive.
"Does anyone support you?"
"At least on the surface, he promised me." Gu Liuyan saw a trace of hesitation flash across Duan Chengyu's face, and he slowly stood up: "As a friend, I hope that you can help me temporarily. I still have something I want to do."
She would never give the people around her time to hesitate before leaving.
Today was the same. After Gu Danyan left the house, she sent people to find a remote village that was sparsely populated, and returned to her yard early.
In the middle of the night, Ghosts found Duan Chengyu outside the military camp.
"What do you think?" Duan Chengyu asked softly.
"Wait a little while longer, I will contact the others in secret." Ghosts clenched their fists tightly.
The two once again fell into silence.
Inside Gu Daiyan's house, she looked at the village that had been found on top of the fire candle and memorized it carefully. Then, she drew a line on it with her finger.
"It's good to have your concern." "But I really don't want anyone to see me trying out the medicine."
Under the flickering candle flame, the slightly opened clothes even had a tinge of flirtatious purple.
As for the distorted 'cloud' character, it had long since shattered into pieces and could not be seen in any way.
She would become extremely terrifying, but at the very least, the impression she left in their hearts would be good.
