When they woke up, the two of them were once again in harmony.
Other than Gu Daiyan's willfulness of pointing fingers and pointing fingers at him alone, her unwillingness to get up, and not mentioning anything about being kidnapped, there was nothing wrong with it.
Their temporary residence was at the side of the local yamen, and was guarded by many soldiers. What happened at that time wouldn't happen again, and even the number of patrolling teams had increased, but at the same time, the news of Princess Eldan's return to Eldan was also hidden. It couldn't be said that their princess not only didn't get married, but even had children with the Prince Jing.
They only declared to the outside world that the injuries of the Navy Tide King had yet to be healed and that the two countries were on good terms with each other, so they would naturally take good care of him while he was still injured.
Gu Danyan didn't want to get down from the bed for too long, but he no longer held the book in his hands day after day.
From time to time, when his mother came over, he would throw a tantrum, and angrily berate her, "If the next time you don't tell me about this important matter, don't even think about stepping out of the imperial palace. Your father will send someone to take good care of you for the rest of your life."
Gu Liuyan was frightened and realized that Yun Xiao had lost his temper. She walked up to him with a guilty conscience: "I just …"
"Besides, you were pregnant when the new year began, so why didn't you tell me?" Yun Xiao smacked her head, but his smack was not as strong.
Gu Danyan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word of explanation.
In the end, he had only been scolded on the forehead by Yun Dian for two hours, and his pulse was again suppressed by Yun Dian. This time, his face darkened, and shocked Gu Liuyan so much that she hurriedly explained that there was already a way. And you kept saying that everything will be fine with your mother! "
What followed was another series of beatings. No matter how eloquent and eloquent Gu Liuyan was normally, all she could do was stutter an apology. If her eyes had not reddened, it was unknown how far Yun Diao would have scolded her.
When Duan Chengxuan was asked to enter the room, he was rather frightened by Yun Tong's furious appearance. He turned around and saw Gu Pingyan rubbing her eyes, but she didn't dare open her mouth to teach him a lesson. She only walked up to Gu Danyan and said, "Madam, I was involved in this matter …"
"When Qu Li arrives, he will teach you a lesson." Yun Dian cast him a cold glance, and quickly left.
Gu Liuyan stretched out her hand, but it was a pity that Yun Dian was really angry this time and could only bitterly withdraw it. As he was feeling conflicted, Duan Chengxuan opened his mouth and said, "Are you alright?"
"Go away! If it wasn't for you being obsessed with Su Yuwan, I wouldn't be poisoned now! " Gu Danyan slapped Duan Chengxuan's face like a wok patch, and only then did he stand up in a fluster to slowly apologize to Yun Xuan.
Duan Chengxuan rubbed his aching face, but his fingers had already reached under Gu Daiyan's pillow.
The note from Liu'er was lying flat on the ground, and the details were detailed on it.
There were only two possibilities. Otherwise, if he wanted to investigate the events of the past while delivering the letter in the short span of a few days, even going so far as to be so detailed, it was naturally impossible.
After putting the slip of paper back under his pillow, Duan Chengxuan stood up and looked at the name of a 'catalpa' that had already appeared beside Gu Danyan. Only then did he feel slightly relieved and called Hong Xiao who was nearby. "How is the situation now?"
Gu Cheng is now missing and the new country is being handed over to his two sons to manage together. Moreover, Duan Feng seems to have colluded with Gu Cheng, and even some of the Navy Tide border soldiers have been replaced by Jiang Yan. No wonder all thirteen cities refused to surrender. Hong Xiao said respectfully.
"No wonder the situation in the thirteen cities is so strange." Duan Chengxuan sighed. "Don't move at the border gate yet, send a letter to Lai Xuan and tell him that once we take down two more cities, she should be able to seize the throne. Otherwise, if she waits until the Void Stage old man's power is great, it'll be difficult for him to make a comeback.
"Then the Zhu siblings …"
"For the next few days, I'll have a few words with Yan'Er, then you can bring them over." After he finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan had already caught up to Gu Daiyan's pace. He stood beside Ziming and spoke kindly, but it wasn't enough to get Gu Daiyan's cold eyes.
Hong Xiao was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his head, as if the prince was already acting normally.
At the same time, on the way back to Sky Flame City …
Duan Chengrui sat in the room of this nameless inn and looked at the person sitting opposite him, yet his expression remained unchanged. "I didn't expect that for the sake of immortality, you could even give up your own country."
The person before him was the long-lost Gu Cheng. However, from his chin to his lapels, there was a dark scar there, as well as a plain set of coarse cloth clothes. Even the package placed on the table was so simple and crude, "I never thought that my son would actually bite me back, but the person I want is all prepared.
"Your many years of experience in Navy Tide have not been in vain." Duan Chengrui nodded, then he turned his gaze to the side to allow the people beside him to leave, leaving behind only Feng Yue. "Other than that, have you hidden Su Yu Wan well?"
"It's already hidden. I've already imprisoned Mu Qing. She will definitely do as you say. No matter how smart Gu Dingyan is, he might lose his reason if he meets a love rival." Gu Cheng laughed heartily, gulping down a cup of water before asking, "Then, when will I be able to get the thing I want?"
"You will be my advisor, but when Gu Pingyan follows me, you'd better not show up."
As Duan Chengrui spoke, Feng Yue had already walked up to Gu Cheng and put down a bag of silver and some silver notes. She opened her mouth in front of Gu Cheng, "Lord Gu, I hope you can take back your men. His Highness doesn't want that prince to suffer any more harm."
Gu Cheng looked at Duan Chengrui as if he was looking at a fool.
Gu Liuyan had never been a good person. Not only was she not alive, she was even pregnant with Duan Chengxuan's bones on the verge of being born. Yet, this infatuated prince in front of her actually wanted to protect her.
However, it was impossible for him to be offended by the money and status. He only accepted the silver and said with a threatening tone, "If you keep your promise in the future, Gu Liuyan will never …"
"Do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly." Duan Chengrui waved his hand and left the nameless inn with Feng Yue.
Behind her, Feng Yue obediently lowered her head. "Your Royal Highness, Gu Cheng is not only making deals with you …"
"He still has evidence of my alliance with Jiang Yan. It won't be too late to get rid of him after we find everything." Duan Chengrui's eyes flashed with a cold light.
