The next day, when the ghost did not find any trace of Gu Daiyan and was rejected by the Third Prince's guards. He really wanted to capture Gu Liuyan and teach her a lesson, but when the words left his mouth, he could only say: "When she changes her mind, I will take her away again."

In an inner courtyard separated by a wall, Gu Pingyan sat on a stone bench, wrapped in a thick mink fur coat, lost in thought.

Dressed in a spring attire, Duan Chengrui strolled out and put down the overturned book in his hands. "He's very worried about you."

"I'm not avoiding him." Gu Liuyan raised his head and put the tip of his finger into his sleeve: "But I don't know what to do either."

Her pregnancy had aroused almost all of her sensitivities, and her femininity seemed to have been magnified countless times.

She didn't want to be alone, didn't want to be alone when she woke up, didn't want to be alone when she woke up, and didn't want to be sitting under the eaves with the herbs as company. She only heard the faint sound of the wind and the sunlight, which couldn't improve her mood, and these things would only upset her, make her think about some serious things, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help and think about some things about herself.

She was afraid that she would be angered by Duan Chengxuan's betrayal, and even more afraid that she would be betrayed by him once again.

"Since you and I have a cooperative relationship, it's easier for me to be with you." She was suddenly relieved.

Duan Chengrui unknowingly clenched his fists under his wide sleeves, but they relaxed along with his calm surface. He put down the torn book in his hands and said, "I've always had some selfish thoughts towards you, aren't you afraid that I'll make use of you?"

"Since I'm of value and you're selfish, then it's safer." Gu Ming retracted the hesitation in his eyes. Under the mink overcoat, Duan Chengrui was unable to see her pregnancy, and now he even straightened his back. "What do you want after coming to the border?"

"For the people." Duan Chengrui replied fluently.

Gu Danyan sneered and held his cheek while looking at him, "The more perfect the prince looks, the more hypocritical he is. I am very curious as to whether you want the help of another country or want to finish off your opponent here. "

"I already have the support of Eldan." Duan Chengrui lightly smiled.

In other words, he was here to settle Duan Feng's problem.

Duan Chengrui arrived a day earlier than Duan Feng, but now that Duan Feng had yet to arrive, the courtyard of his residence had already been confirmed to be located two streets away at the Xie residence. Moreover, the owner of the Xie residence was a branch of the Empress, so the nearby guards should have already been prepared a few days ago.

Gu Danyan carefully counted in his heart what he had seen and heard when he went out these past few days. After a long period of silence, he finally received Duan Chengrui's words. "I can still live for a few more years."

Duan Chengrui came for something after all …

In this place, he himself would also be exposed to danger. In terms of priority, even if it was for the sake of reputation, he would not let Duan Ming die in front of him — Duan Chengrui would not be so foolish.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" The temporary shock on Duan Chengrui's face was replaced by joy.

"No need for now, as long as I can obtain your temporary protection, that's enough."

That's not right.

Something was wrong.

Gu was unable to figure out what was wrong, so he lifted his hand and pinched a pastry that didn't belong to this winter's end. The pastry was not even compatible with this place.

"How's the taste?" Duan Chengxuan asked her with the same gentle voice.

"Not bad." Gu Liuyan took a second bite: "I think you want more than these things."

The man who was questioned laughed softly, causing Gu Daiyan's back to turn cold for some inexplicable reason. However, Duan Chengrui continued smiling: "I will send you to do what you want, and will also send people to protect you. Once you've done what you want to do, you might need to help me out once more."

"What?" When he made the request, Gu Tinyan heaved a sigh of relief.

"If you don't leave after my position as crown prince has been completely secured, I will need your help. Arriving at the border is my helplessness. Duan Feng still has some connections with Gu Cheng, and she even knows some things I don't know about. I need to find out, but I don't have any military advisors that are worthy of my trust. Duan Chengrui pushed the plate a little further forward.

Gu Danyan recalled the dispute between Duan Chengxuan and the empress and said, "I originally didn't want to help you, but unfortunately the empress made a move against Qingze."

"How do you know?" Duan Chengrui stopped moving and looked at Gu Danyan in confusion.

"The people of the palace are all afraid of the Jing King, so how could they risk being punished to allow him to play in the rain and snow? Moreover, the empress left too quickly, it seems like this is a test of the importance of Qingze to the Jing King." Gu Danyan rubbed his forehead with a headache, while he placed his other hand on his abdomen to protect it. He said in a low voice: "If I hadn't lied to her back then, perhaps she wouldn't have hated me so much."

Duan Chengrui only nodded at this. "You're always so smart."

"Just nice, it gave me a reason to deal with Duan Feng." Gu Mingyan tightened the mink fur coat on her body. Only then did she remember that the ghost was not by her side. After he was dazed for a moment, he continued, "I want to rest."

This reply was out of Duan Chengrui's expectations, but he still instructed the servant girl beside him, "She is called Feng Yue, and can be considered Yue Qing's junior. Normally, if there is anything you need her for, you can ask her for."

The maid in front of him looked quite similar to Yue Qing, but his facial features were a little more delicate and pretty. Wearing a light yellow robe for spring, he smiled with two dimples at the corner of his mouth. When he spoke, the word 'Your Highness' was spoken calmly, there was a thin cocoon around his fingertips, and his fingers were curved.

"Thank you very much." Gu Danyan held onto the edge of the table and stood up. He rested for a while before leaving with Feng Yue.

Looking at Gu Daiyan's leisurely pace and the exhaustion on his face, Duan Chengrui only frowned and waited until Feng Yue returned before asking, "Is there anything wrong with her?"

"Please forgive this subordinate's bluntness …" Feng Yue lowered her head as if she wanted to say something: "I think that Your Highness should be pregnant."

Duan Chengrui picked up the book once again, but this time, he pinched the book so tightly that it was creased.

Darkness filled his eyes. He never thought that Gu Pingyan would actually be willing to give birth to a child for Duan Chengxuan.

"Your Highness, Feng Yue can stay in her pastries …"

"Don't speculate." Duan Chengrui looked at him coldly. "Since I want her, then I don't care about her past and past. That child is her treasure, I won't harm him."

Feng Yue widened her eyes in astonishment, but she could only obediently kneel down and pay her respects. "Congratulations Your Highness for finding someone you can sincerely love."

"Take good care of yourself. I hope you're not as stupid as Qing Yue." Duan Chengrui left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving the crumpled book on the ground. However, the person before him was still an elegant young master.
