C686

The tiny branches made him stagger.

Duan Chengxuan stopped his steps and stabilized his body. A palpitation that he had never felt before caused his face to sink, and his face that was like a sharp blade became tense as well, and the hand that tightly clenched the dagger emitted a slight sound.

He didn't know where this came from, but the hand tightly gripped his throat, until Hong Xiao walked up to him in confusion. "Your Royal Highness, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Maybe it was just a moment of physical discomfort.

As Duan Chengxuan thought like this, his gaze instead looked at the nearby continuous mountain range with a strange gaze. He still didn't notice anything unusual, and the entire forest remained silent from start to finish.

The wooden branches beneath his feet emitted a faint sound from being stepped on, and his nose was filled with a strange smell.

Right now, they were located closer to Er Dan. It was unknown whether or not Navy Tide border would send people over, but at the very least, those who listened to Duan Feng would know that King Jing was still alive.

All of a sudden, the black-garbed soldiers seemed to have disappeared, never to appear again.

On the distant mountain range, Gu Danyan's fingertip was about to be embedded into the palm of his hand. The sinking feeling in his abdomen gradually lessened, and what replaced it was the immense pain of the poison acting up, accompanied by the spasms of his limbs and bones that drilled into his heart.

Upon hearing her companion's words, Feng Zhu held onto her constantly twisting shoulders. Looking at her sweating appearance, he bit his teeth as he squeezed out a word from his throat, "She doesn't care about her child at all!"

"But she has lost this child, and this life no longer exists." The man said in a low voice, his forehead drenched with sweat. He crushed the pills he had prepared earlier into powder and fed it into the water, allowing the other girl to feed it to him. He then continued, "The third prince requests us to bring her back safely, including this child."

A cold light flashed through the eyes of the porcelain seal. It could only restrain its temper and do whatever the person told it to.

The horse carriage not far away had already been burnt to a crisp. The moment the horse carriage had been unloaded, the horse had screamed and ran into the forest, immediately disappearing without a trace.

Gu Liuyan had lost consciousness for a long time. His injured arm had simply stopped bleeding, but now, it was split open again due to continuous struggling. The other people all stood to the side and listened to his commands.

Who would have thought that a pregnant woman would burn her carriage?

Even to the point of disregarding his own safety and using his arm to smash open the wooden stick, could he have discovered so many inconspicuous details during such a calm moment?

"She is a demoness, just like her mother. We cannot bring her back to the Third Prince's side." Someone moved a step forward, and the woman could still smell the faint scent of blood. "She will not protect this child."

"This child is very small, and she has just adjusted her angle. Except for a little bit of force from her." The man who was an expert in medicine opened his mouth in dissatisfaction. "This child can be protected. She is not some demoness. She is someone that the Third Prince needs."

"A woman who gave birth to a child for someone else? She's not even clean. " A man also stood up in dissatisfaction, "Besides... She was not human at all. She knew everything! She even has an immortal prescription. She's a monster, how can you bring her back! "Just think about it, Sister Yue Qing has already been imprisoned!"

The two groups of people, who had different thoughts, were almost at loggerheads over it.

They were supposed to be loyal to the Third Prince's orders, but now there was someone who was afraid of her.

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, causing goosebumps to form all over his body. However, he still opened his mouth: "Whatever orders His Highness the Third Prince has given us, we will do, or do you think that you have the power to decide things for His Highness the Third Prince?"

The two groups of people gradually calmed down and no longer spoke.

However, their team had already begun to split up. Feng Zhu clicked his tongue and continued, "Inform His Highness the Third Prince of this matter and also inform Big Sister. We can't take over this person. Have her send someone else over."

"Yes."

"Also, don't send any more people over to Duan Chengxuan's place to throw away their lives. Everyone, hide yourselves well and wait for the right time to make your move again." As she spoke, she did not forget to cover Gu Danyan's ears even as she spoke, even though she did not know anything.

In the distance, the blue smoke disappeared in the afternoon. The snow-white carrier pigeon spread its wings and flew towards the border crossing point of Navy Tide that was only three days away.

The snow-white carrier pigeon then landed on his arm and folded its wings. Its round eyes looked in the direction of the border, and its two tiny legs moved a bit to make it easier for Duan Chenrui to remove the bamboo tube on his feet.

"Porcelain birds are much more intelligent." As Duan Chengrui spoke, he stopped and ignored Duan Feng who was tied up behind him. He took out the bamboo tube and looked at the spot of bright red on his back. Immediately, he frowned.

Porcelain wrote down all the tricks Gu Liuyan had done and all the dangerous actions she had just done.

"I thought she wouldn't know the meaning of those gestures." Duan Chengrui frowned as he tore the letter in his hand into pieces and threw it into the water bucket in the dungeon, "Feng Yue, bring someone with you right now and bring that person back to me. You don't have to deceive her; you only have to tell her that I need her by my side until I ascend to the throne.

Feng Yue nodded her head and took out a letter from her chest pocket. "This is the letter that the Lord sent this morning. She hopes to see you again after returning to Sky Flame."

Finished speaking, Feng Yue only saluted before leaving.

Behind him, Duan Feng's face was deathly pale, but he had heard everything that had just been said clearly. He let out a low laugh and said, "I didn't know that you, Big Brother, would actually like a married woman so much."

"Only a fool like you would think she was just a married woman." Duan Chengrui turned his head to the side and coldly glanced at Duan Feng. "I don't need Gu Cheng or Er Dan, but she's the only one I can't let go of."

"Heh, didn't you just say that you would only allow her to accompany you until you ascended the throne?" Duan Feng sneered, she only wanted to spit on his face. "The women of the Yun clan are all foxes!"

"After I ascend to the throne, I naturally wouldn't want her to only be my Empress." Duan Chengrui continued to walk outside as the piercing sunlight poured in. With a resolute voice, he said, "She will be my only advisor and lover. This deep palace and Navy Tide were originally unable to hold her back."

Duan Feng narrowed his eyes, and when she opened them again, all she saw was white light.

"You are a madman. I really don't know what you want."

"I just want everything I want."
