Duan Chengrui arrived at town three days later.
In the past few days, he hadn't been able to collect all the medicinal herbs yet, but Mu Qing had already started to prepare a lot of prescriptions for Gu Pingyan. Even Gu Pingyan himself had listened to a lot of medical books and recounted a lot of prescriptions, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about the blood that had already changed.
It was like the last rays of the sun.
That morning, Duan Chengrui hurriedly brought his men into the bedroom. Gu Danyan was woken up by the sound of the door opening, and even Su Yu Wan, who could only lie down and sleep in the corner, panicked as she got up. When she saw Duan Chengrui, she adjusted her position and sat on the chair without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Gu Liuyan leaned on the soft pillow and asked in a daze. She thought it was Yue Qing who had an urgent matter to look for.
"It's me." Duan Chengrui spoke, he did not notice that Gu Danyan's eyes could already be seen. With a pained expression on his face, he sat on the side of Gu Danyan's bed and said in a low voice: "You're under that deep pit …"
"The same mistake again and again, but now it's just a blank match. "Unfortunately, the majority of the fools in the world have no idea of the cause and effect." Gu Danyan was still half asleep when he said this. His other hand lightly rested on Duan Chengrui's wrist, which was about to land on his body. He said in a low voice: "Your one-sided wish cannot be dispelled, why is it so? How do you need it to be dispelled?"
When he opened his eyes, it was as if there were some stars in his eyes. Unfortunately, the direction that Gu Pingyan's eyes were looking was slightly wrong, causing Duan Chenrui's heart to palpitate slightly. He allowed her to hold his wrist tightly: "I did hide it from you, but all of this is just for your own good. Even if you choose a beggar and choose an old man to live the rest of your life, as long as they sincerely treat you with respect, I will not stop you. But you chose Duan Chengxuan, so I can only clean up all the obstacles for you in the future. "
"Looks like you're quite honest." Gu Danyan instead opened his mouth in slight surprise, crawled up, and ruffled his long hair as he laughed lowly: "So it's like this, you're actually different from Duan Chengxuan. If it was at this moment, I'm afraid he would only use 'I'm doing this for your own good' to flatter me."
"Since that's the case, why are you still so persistent towards Duan Chengxuan? He even threw a portion of the mysteries of longevity into the brazier, not caring about your life or death at all." Duan Chengrui frowned as he wished for nothing more than for Gu Meiyan to wake up to reality.
These words made Gu Daiyan raise his head: "Did you know something?"
"For example, you only came here to act." The worry on Duan Chengrui's face deepened as he looked at her with a trace of heartache.
"How?" Gu Danyan was already leaning on the bed with a calm expression, but he had silently pulled his hand away.
"Duan Chengyu took Ah Zi and Ping Chuan away, I think it was all because of you, including royal father's illness. royal father even mentioned the name of bringing Duke Jing back to be punished, wanting to save him. The smile in the depths of Duan Chengrui's eyes had already changed. His hysterical madness emerged from the charred ground.
The once gentle and refined man's eyes were now sharp. His hand that tightly gripped onto Mingyan was now filled with an irresistible force.
"What does that have to do with me?" Gu Liuyan raised his eyebrows.
"Did you ever think of me at all, when everyone turned to him?" Like the last board in a drowning man's hand, Duan Chengrui lowered his head and gripped her slender fingers tightly. "I hope you'll be happy, and I hope you can …"
"Aren't I here?" Gu Danyan raised his hand to press against Duan Chengrui's forehead, forcing him to raise his head.
Seeing the weakness and pain beneath those sharp eyes, Gu Pingyan did not even need to think about what he had experienced. He only raised his mouth and smiled as he said: "Since you know that everything I have done was to ensure Duan Chengxuan's safety, then why haven't you thought about why I would stand by your side if I do not want to protect you?"
She was not an ungrateful person, and she also hated that if she chose someone else, she would have to give up on what someone else had said.
Only an irresponsible person would cast aside this matter. However, he would never have thought that your cold refusal multiple times would become the final straw that would crush that person. Just like how Duan Chengrui had long since sincerely treated his, she naturally didn't have to stick to Duan Chengxuan to harm a person who wholeheartedly cared about his.
"I failed to provoke him multiple times, and now you know that I want to harm Duan Chengxuan?"
Before, I've been thinking about why you were able to leave Duan Feng's border. It should have been because you couldn't figure it out no matter how hard you thought, but you purposefully concealed the news outside the house and didn't want me to know. I'm afraid that you're worried that I know what you've done. Gu Danyan pressed her palm against his forehead from start to finish: "From the time you let Hui Fei take action to provoke me, I really believed it to be true, but when I saw your expression and Duan Chengxuan's, I could tell with a single glance that it was true."
"But you came with me."
"Do I want to see you go wrong?"
Since the matter had already been explained clearly, Gu Danyan was unwilling to continue pretending to be blind. He only looked at Duan Chengrui accurately, but there was not the slightest bit of weakness in his peach blossom eyes. On the contrary, he was extremely serious, "I don't know why you feel feelings for me, but I don't want to hurt you. However, what you have done is only to pacify a woman. You are doing this because you have requested for many years, because your subordinates have obediently bowed their heads, or because those who have a higher position do not have your eyes. "
"What you can't get, you want me to get. But you once truly asked me if my request was the same as my request? " Gu Danyan's voice became softer and softer. When she withdrew her hand, she simply lifted the quilt and got off the bed. She walked behind the screen to change clothes, leaving behind a few words: "However, a trapped beast."
Duan Chengrui, who was sitting on the edge of the bed without moving at all, clenched his fist.
Gu Danyan, on the other hand, had already changed into a light purple gilt dress and was walking over from behind the screen. Seeing that the other three girls in the room were staring at her, she just lifted her hand and ruffled her messy hair, "I still haven't woken up, don't speak nonsense."
Did she go too far?
She carefully glanced at Duan Chengrui, then her body slanted to the side and she did not get a reply. She became even more cautious, "I'm not saying that your thoughts are wrong, but …"
"In this way, I am even more unable to let go." Duan Chengrui raised his head, his eyes filled with a cold light. "I will do anything for you, but you can only stay by my side until …"
The last words drifted away with the winter wind.
Gu Liuyan was slightly shocked and his eyes widened. He then chuckled: "Okay, as long as you really want to do this."
"Then don't ask about outside matters. This is between Duan Chengxuan and me." Duan Chengrui stood up, "In the future, I won't lie to you, you have to be honest with me."
"My eyes can see." Gu Danyan walked to his side, raised his head and looked at him: "I can trust you."
"Sure." Duan Chengrui smiled and pinched a strand of hair by the side of her face. "Let them properly comb and dress you up so you can go and sing this play."
