"Your Highness, you've made so many preparations, and you've even forced Duan Chengxuan to use all of the power and influence in the entire Navy Tide. But now, you're sending that Your Highness back in one piece." Feng Jiao stood beside Duan Chengrui and watched as the horse carriage under the city wall gradually moved further away as he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"It's not useless." Duan Chengrui faced the overly chilly wind that was blowing against the city wall, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "Since Gu Pingyan is so soft-hearted, to the point that he isn't willing to let Duan Chengxuan repay what he did all those years ago, now, I will take this small profit in her place."
Duan Chengrui turned around and walked down the staircase above the city wall with Feng Jiao following closely by his side. "Although you can shake her heart, Duan Chengxuan can similarly come up with an excuse."
"But what did Duan Chengxuan do?" Not only that, as long as Gu Daiyan is willing to investigate, Duan Chengxuan would conceal quite a few things from her that year. " Duan Chengrui had a confident smile on his face.
Hearing this, Feng Xianfeng raised an eyebrow. "This subordinate has been at the border for too long, so I don't understand what you mean."
"Even though Su Yuwan was born in a brothel, that year, Duan Chengxuan's master had left behind two wills, hoping to keep Su Yuwan's life no matter what. Even if she had to live, that was just an excuse, so from the beginning, Duan Chengxuan didn't really want to kill Su Yuwan, he only wanted to bring her to Master's mistress' tombstone and forgive her." Duan Chengxuan paused here for a moment before continuing, "But I'm afraid that Duan Chengxuan doesn't even know that Su Yu Wan had done something unforgivable that year."
Feng Zhu's curiosity was piqued even further. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What is it?"
My elder sister, Duan Ling'er, is the daughter of my royal father's most beloved daughter. Furthermore, according to royal customs, the imperial family must marry the Yun family, and the two of them should know each other since they were young. My royal father's most beloved daughter was originally a descendant of the Yun family. "Moreover, Duan Ling Tian once found the Phoenix Bile, and even wrote a letter to inform me of it. But after she died, the Phoenix Bile was nowhere to be found, and now, the poison within Gu Mingyan's body is the poison from the stem of the Phoenix Bile. All of this is too much of a coincidence."
"Even so, would Gu Mingyan vent her anger at Duan Chengxuan for such a small matter? This has nothing to do with Duan Chengxuan. " Feng Zhu shook his head.
"Of course." He only continued, "Because Duan Chengxuan knew about this from the very beginning, and he had concealed this matter from royal father at that time. Moreover, he also knew that Su Yuwan had the courage of the Phoenix in her hands, and that Big Sister Ling'er would tell him everything, but now, he had protected Su Yuwan from Gu Gouyan."
Retribution, there will be a cycle.
Duan Chengrui admitted that he was mixed in with all of this, but it wasn't without reason.
Gu Daiyan had walked step by step since that year, and the trust that she had painstakingly built up would be wiped away by this matter. At that time, Duan Chengxuan would only be suffering on his own.
At this moment, Gu Daiyan was quiet in the carriage.
Duan Chengrui had truly given up on this business deal that wouldn't lose out, but her heart was already in a mess.
Feng Yue sat beside her and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, if you're still worried, I can accompany you by your side for your orders."
"No need to take the risk." Gu Danyan was shocked by his words. His body curled up even more, and the hand on his stomach tightened and gathered together.
She almost believed what Duan Chengrui said, and she even mistook Feng Yue for a young girl.
If what he said was all true, then the matter of Duan Chengxuan insisting on killing the beautiful woman all those years ago also seemed to have changed.
Closing his eyes, he decided to fall into a deep sleep. Gu Liuyan did not know that the matter of her being personally sent back by the Third Prince had stirred such great waves in Duan Chengxuan's and Yun Dian's hearts.
Duan Cheng Xuan used the name of recuperating from her injuries to legally keep the pill here. As for Yun Que's identity being unknown, she had long since sent out countless spies, and the two of them seemed to be using all their strength to go.
But now, Duan Cheng Rui actually returned the person and didn't put forth any conditions. Moreover, Duan Guangrui seemed to once again have the power to command the Navy Tide Fringe, and Duan Chengrui seemed to be on his way to go to Sky Flame. The two of them did not know what was going on opposite them.
Five days later, the carriage which had sent Gu Danyan back came to a halt outside the city gates. Feng Yue, as per their agreement, only returned the things they had brought with her.
Yun Xiao charged out with her men, but Gu Liuyan, who was in the carriage, was calm. When she saw Yun Wan, she did not panic at all. Instead, she leaned on her shoulder and rubbed against him without saying a word.
"You child!" Yun Xiao faked a pat on her back, but seeing that Gu Liuyan was about to give birth to a big belly, he was still scared. He wanted to let Ping Chuan hug her down, but he found that the person in his embrace was still tightly holding her and was not willing to let go.
At present, only his mother was a trustworthy person.
Gu Danyan had just raised his head under the dissuasion of Yun Qi when he saw Duan Chengxuan, who was waiting outside the carriage.
It had been a long time since she last saw him, but his face was still smelly. His handsome face was covered by anger. His bony hands were clenched into fists, and she could no longer see the heavy weight in his eyes.
"Yan'Er, is something wrong?" The voice of the cloud brought back her thoughts.
"Nothing …" Gu Liuyan once again buried her head in Yun Wan's shoulder, and her tone revealed a faint smile: "How are your injuries like?" The medicine I left behind will work. "
"Thanks to your medicine, he managed to save his life." Yun Que patted her shoulder, his eyes red. "Just …"
"I only made a deal with Duan Chengrui and he let me back." As Gu Liuyan said this, she gently pulled away from Yun Su's embrace and looked at her seriously: "I'm fine, mother."
Mother trusted ghosts very much. Before she found out the truth, she could no longer easily tell those words to others.
Gu Danyan was expected to be carried off the carriage by Duan Chengxuan, but he only lazily closed his eyes and half leaned into Duan Chengxuan's embrace as he held onto his clothes. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I've once again dreamed of the first snowfall of Prince Jing's mansion."
"Those things will never happen again." All of Duan Chengxuan's anger vanished, and he only looked worriedly at her slightly bulging lower abdomen. He already had other thoughts in his mind, then he glanced at Yun Mu, who was counting the medicinal ingredients not far away.
The two of them nodded at each other, but Gu Daiyan, who was in his arms, did not notice.
