He had thought that Gu Liuyan was putting on an act in order to gain His Highness' trust.

However, during these few days, when the Jing King had sent people to urge her to come, Gu Pingyan had been unwilling to even give her a message. He had let the servant girl dress him in brocade clothes day after day, while he often carried the cat named Hairy Ball to the side of the study room to give advice to his highness.

"As long as you do everything for the sake of the people's suffering, Meng Xu will definitely serve you. There is no need to worry." As Gu Liuyan spoke, she stared at the ministers in front of her with a pair of cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "My lords, your status is far inferior to Meng Xu's. Even if you can't speak in front of the emperor, so what if you come to complain to the third prince? "Even if you drag Meng Xu down, you still wouldn't be recognized as such in your eyes. In the future, someone will take advantage of you and you won't be able to make up for your losses."

The few lords turned ashen, while Duan Chengrui said helplessly, "No one needs to be bothered by it, Yan'Er has just gone overboard. Even if you're unhappy with Meng Xu, now is not the time to touch him."

Just like this, the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other. In the past few days, they had helped to settle quite a few matters.

Yue Qing and Feng Xianfeng, the two ladies, thought that Gu Liuyan was sincerely giving in.

Today, however, the woman who was supposed to be following Yue Qing around with a kitten in her arms, directly walked up to Duan Chenrui's table after the ministers left and threw the ball of fur aside. She placed both her hands on the edge of the table and said in a low voice, "Duan Chenrui, I don't want to settle these trivial matters for you."

Gu Danyan was probably the first person to make the country's biggest matter sound so trivial.

Being called by name, Duan Chengrui merely raised his head to look at her. "Then why do you think it's such a big matter?"

Find a time when Duan Chengxuan can enter the palace. Bring me with you to the palace as well." Gu Danyan said with a smile: "Since you are sincere to me, I have solved a lot of my problems. Why not find a good time to get a marriage decree?

His tone was light and had a hint of mischievousness to it.

Yue Qing, on the other hand, couldn't wait to step forward and throw the evil spirit away. However, she was held back by a hand of Feng Zhu, who glared at her coldly.

Duan Chengrui was slightly stunned as well, then he started laughing. "I don't understand what you mean."

"After the marriage decree, we will be the ones tied to the same rope." Gu Danyan's fingertips slid across the back of Duan Chengrui's hand: "If you let me live forever, I'll allow you to have a peaceful life as emperor. When the time comes in the future, I'll inherit your position of Navy Tide Sovereign, how about it?"

His fingertip drew across the expensive cloth before finally lightly rubbing against Duan Chenrui's neck.

His originally lifeless eyes, however, had a hint of bewitching charm within them. Duan Chengrui's eyes lit up, and with a hand lightly holding onto her wrist, he said in a low voice, "I won't ask for a marriage decree. As long as you accompany me by my side, I'll give you anything you want with both hands."

Gu Danyan's eyes narrowed and he pulled his hand away. All the emotions on his face were wiped away.

"I feel bored that you are acting like this. If you wish that I could fall in love with you, it's best if you learn to be as domineering as Duan Chenxuan." Otherwise, wouldn't I be leading you by the nose in the future? " As she spoke, she bent down and imitated a cat's meow, waiting for that cute ball of fur to jump into her bosom. Only then did she slowly stand up and say, "But Duan Chengxuan's military operation is a problem, so even if you accept the throne now, it won't be a good thing."

Faced with such a sudden change in topic, Duan Chengrui could only nod his head, "For internal and external troubles, let royal father settle these matters first. For me, the most important matter right now is still your body."

Duan Chengrui's face darkened as he raised his hand for Yue Qing to bring him up.

Gu Mingyan could hear the sound of people leaving, so she carried Hairy Ball and sat down again. After a while, however, she heard a few messy footsteps followed by two muffled sounds and a somewhat overly sharp scream.

Yue Qing took a step forward and sealed the woman's mouth, saying in a low voice, "Su Yuwan and Mu Qing have already arrived."

Gu Danyan's expression did not change as he caressed the fur and fur of the cat, and he recalled what Duan Chengxuan had said earlier.

Sang Ning didn't betray, but found Mu Qing's location.

In this way, the person Sang Ning pretended to betray was Duan Chengrui.

Duan Chengxuan didn't say a word to his, but she was already chuckling. "If Mu Qing was here, wouldn't Sang Ning have surrendered to you as well?"

"You know about it?" Duan Chengrui didn't understand.

I naturally know that Sang Ning's mission is to find Mu Qing, and now that I've sided with you, it's only Duan Chengxuan's scam. Right now, Duan Chengxuan hasn't noticed anything strange, but you can already present him with a gift. Gu Daiyan yawned lazily. "Throw Sanning back in front of Duan Chengxuan. He should know which side I'm on now."

He did not think that she was lying, but he did not know much about Sanning. Back then, he only took in Sanning because he had killed his entire family. He had every reason to take revenge on his royal father and uncle.

As for Su Yuwan, she was pressed to the ground by Yue Qing with one hand. However, Mu Qing maintained a cold expression on her face. "Third Prince, do you believe this woman who gave birth to Prince Jing?"

"Otherwise, do you believe that a scumbag like you, who defied Lun Chang, would fall in love with his sister?" She did not know where Su Yu Wan was, but she had already opened her mouth with her head held high: "Duan Chengrui will keep you here, I just hope you can cure me of the poison. Su Yu Wan is only a hostage."

But at the same time, you told Su Yuwan not to get pregnant again, and also concealed the fact that you are her half-brother. At that time, you personally made your little sister go and kill people, and then you thought that this way, Su Yuwan would be like you. You would be at ease to follow her into the prince's mansion. Gu Daiyan said one word at a time.

Su Yu Wan who was on the ground revealed a look of disbelief, while Mu Qing was clenching his teeth tightly. Before he could get up, his back was being ruthlessly stepped on.

"Why are you doing everything …"

"Not only that, I was also curious as to why you were so persistent about Su Yuwan, why you tolerated her at the prince's estate, and even mentioned that I had a prescription to treat Su Yuwan's severe illness." When she opened his eyes again, there was only darkness in his eyes: "If Gu Cheng is the first person to covet immortality, then you are the second person to know the secrets of the Yun clan. Gu Liuyan said until here, let out a heavy sigh, and when he opened his eyes again, there was only darkness in his eyes:" If Gu Cheng is the first person to covet immortality, then you are the second person to know the secrets of the Yun clan.

Before anyone could react, Gu Pingyan bent down with a chuckle and pressed a finger between Mu Qing's eyebrows. His shallow laughter shook the entire study: "How pitiful, the thing you poured your whole life into was only seen cleanly by someone like me, who has only seen you a few times. What an idiot."
