By the time he had laid him on the bed, Gu Daiyan had already fallen into a deep sleep, completely unprepared for anything.

Duan Chengxuan carefully adjusted the posture according to Yun Dian's instructions, and only until both of Gu Danyan's brows had completely relaxed did Duan Chengxuan withdraw his hand with a head full of sweat, and he gently covered her with a blanket before leaving the room.

Outside the door, Yun Wan could only let out a soft sigh as she brought Duan Cheng Xuan into the study. The ghost, who was having difficulty recovering, was waiting anxiously. Upon seeing the two enter, he immediately opened her mouth. "Is she alright?"

"She seems to have done something dangerous before. Her body is currently weak." Yun Mu sat down at the side, took off his black veil and smashed it onto the table with a bang. He glared furiously at Duan Chenxuan and the Phantom Demon. "She said that she and Duan Chanrui have made some sort of deal!"

"What?" A ghost raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know what kind of deal it was, but the most important thing right now was that she didn't have a second choice. She could only give birth to this child, but Zhang Liangshan said that there was no guarantee that she would survive." With a dark expression, Yun Wan set his gaze onto Duan Cheng Xuan. "At that time, you've chosen …"

"Of course it's Yan'Er. This child isn't that important to me." Duan Chengxuan spoke extremely quickly, and he stood up straight by the door as he punched heavily on the door frame, leaving behind a deep imprint. He also shouted with a voice that was squeezed out from his throat, "Duan Chengrui must have told her something! Why would she still remember what happened that year! "

Hong Xiao, who was guarding the long corridor, was shocked. Even Yun Xiao shrunk his shoulders and looked unhappily at Duan Chengxuan's actions. "If Duan Chengrui told her something, what could you do?"

Duan Chengxuan's fist went even deeper into the wooden frame, but he was unable to give an answer even though his face was extremely tense.

In any case, those things were what he had done.

"But I believe in your feelings for Yan'Er." "I will take Zhang Liangshan to find some other herbs, but these days, not only do you need to stay close to her, you also need to take care of the things over at your place. I don't want my daughter to be with a man with a bad reputation in the future."

With that, Yun Que left without hesitation.

As with Gu Mingyan, she was more inclined to rely on actions and plans to solve problems than to sit there blaming each other.

With only Phantom Demon and Duan Chengxuan left in the enormous study room, Hong Xiao bowed and entered the study room. He solemnly said, "Prince, Duan Chengrui's men have all left, and no one is left behind."

"What happened to those cities?" Duan Cheng Xuan withdrew her hand.

"Currently, news is spreading that we are going to regain control of the border, our army is not preparing to attack, and is still in the midst of discussions. Besides, Duan Chenrui seems to truly be preparing to return to the Sky Flame, it is very difficult for him to control the border." Thus, if she were to return His Highness back, perhaps it would be with no choice but to do so. " As Hong Xiao spoke, her voice actually became softer and softer.

Because Duan Chengxuan's expression was getting more and more serious.

Because of the injury on his leg, Phantom Shadow was temporarily unable to move. He only looked coldly at Duan Chengxuan and said, "My prince, this Third Prince is definitely not an ordinary person. The way he looked at Yan'Er from the very beginning was completely different."

"I know." Duan Chengxuan took two deep breaths, and when he thought of the words Gu Danyan had said while leaning against his chest, he wanted nothing more than to kill himself that day. Unfortunately, he couldn't do this, so he could only turn into a ball of flame and burn all over his limbs and bones, bringing with him pain: "Since this is Duan Feng controlling the border, then I don't have any need to force him to attack. Let them continue their confrontation, and don't act rashly before any news from the Sky Flame spreads."

"I want to see Yan'Er …"

"Shut up." Duan Chengxuan's cold gaze swept over the ghost's body. "You betrayed me."

"Betrayed long ago." Gui Gui also laughed coldly, "At the very least, I know that Yan'Er is more trustworthy than you. Madam almost treats me as her own son, so to speak, Yan'Er is considered my little sister."

Hong Xiao widened his eyes in shock. Not long ago, he had even thought that ghosts and gods would always listen to him.

"Then you should let her do such a dangerous thing. Why didn't you tell me that he might die?" Duan Chengxuan rushed forward and grabbed onto his ghostly robe as he lifted him up from the chair. His eyes were scarlet as he said, "If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have left so easily back then!"

The ghost let out a few painful groans, but it only managed to squeeze out a word of apology from its teeth.

He was thrown back onto the chair, while holding his throat, he coughed a few times and lowered his head. He did not expect that he had only condoned Gu Meiyan's willfulness to protect her safety, but had instead sent her to someone else.

Duan Chengxuan looked at his empty palm, but he only took two deep breaths and looked at Hong Xiao. "If there's nothing important, don't disturb me."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hong Xiao hurriedly lowered his head. Only when Duan Chengxuan's footsteps had completely disappeared from his ears did he carefully raise his head and look at the guilty face on the chair. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you betray the Prince?"

"If not for him, Yan'Er wouldn't be in such danger right now." "It was all due to my carelessness that I followed her instructions and left. If I was still by Yan'Er's side, I would definitely have known about the phoenix gall root within the death-faking drug!" The wound on his wrist that was unwilling to heal started to bleed again and again, but he did not care. He painfully covered his face, and almost cried: "Every time I made the wrong decision, it was good to listen to her and leave her alone on the battlefield, it's good even now … I was just afraid she wouldn't be happy... It's all wrong. "

As the last word was spoken, the weeping sound was magnified several times.

Hong Xiao stood on the spot at a loss of what to do. He could only turn around quietly – he had never seen a ghost cry before.

He gently held her wrist, which was too thin, and caressed the black green in her eyes. Only when those eyes slowly opened up did Duan Chengxuan reluctantly withdraw his hand, and he only cleared his throat and gently asked her, "Do you want to eat something?"

Gu Liuyan blinked in a trance, but she only raised her hand to grab onto Duan Chengxuan's fingers, then intertwined his fingers with his without strength: "When will we be able to completely trust each other?"

The pair of watery eyes looked at Duan Chengxuan with a trace of anticipation.

However, Duan Chengxuan merely bent down and lightly kissed her on the temple. "I believe you, are you willing to tell me what kind of deal you made with Duan Chengrui?"

Wrong answer.

Gu Danyan retracted his hand, and a sparkle appeared in his watery eyes: "Phantom, are you the eye that you placed next to me?"
