"So now, can you please find Gu Zixian and ask him why he's here?"

Gu Danyan's fingertip brushed past Su Yuwan's hair, while the powder between her fingers gently fell onto her neck and the tip of her hair. Speaking of this, she had seen this powder before in the Third Prince's residence.

The Fruit of Charm and Intelligence had crushed them into juice and dried them into powder. The effect was only thirty percent that of the juice, but now it was enough to deal with Su Yu Wan, not to mention, it relied on her skin, not her mouth.

Su Yuwan was dazed for a moment. She nodded and left quietly, being very obedient.

Gu Mingyan let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the long chain on her ankle, she thought for a moment before unlocking it. She held the key in his hand and weighed it in his hand.

The soldier looked at the girl with the peach blossoms and was surprised that she had called him by his real name.

"Prince, he …"

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness is currently discussing matters with the generals." Hong Xiao quickly stepped forward and took a closer look at her ankle. He was shocked. "Aren't you supposed to …"

Gu Liuyan flipped her sleeve, and the rusted key slipped into her palm: "You're talking about him."

Hong Xiao decided not to speak.

As subordinates, they had never seen Duan Chengxuan really drop anything before, so they really did agree with what he said.

"If he's still in the middle of the meeting, then forget it. Sanning isn't here with us, where is he?"

"Sanin said he was going to stay here. Said he was found." Hong Xiao whispered into Gu Qing Yan's ear. He then took a look at her loose hair and the surrounding soldiers' gazes before gently pushing his back into the tent. As he saw the messy bedding, he felt a headache coming on, "Your Highness, you should just wait here."

"It's better not to have those who are under house arrest like this. Bring Zhang Liangshan over here, I'll get some blood for him to test the medicine." Gu Liuyan was pushed to the side and sat in front of a small table. She turned around to look at the mountain of documents and reports of war that were placed on Duan Chengxuan's table, so she could only support her face with her hands: "You should just watch me here. If you divulge any important information while you're not here, it'll all be my fault."

Hong Xiao was speechless.

The prince directly brought her to his handsome tent, and even the chain around her legs had lengthened by a lot. Even if she had really read those war reports, the prince probably wouldn't have said anything.

"Actually, the prince still trusts you very much …"

"He trusts me. I don't trust my eyes." Gu Danyan pointed at his eyes: "There are some things I won't do, but I just want to know, you have to stop me."

"…" Hong Xiao was even more confused, but he could only obediently do as he was told.

After Zhang Liangshan came, Gu Pingyan cut open his arm without saying a word. Except for a frown when he cut his arm, there was only a bit of vexation left. He carefully applied some medicine to the wound and then easily bandaged it.

Hong Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of the pain?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but sometimes you can survive if you're injured. Since it's a good deal, then naturally you're not afraid." Gu Daiyan pulled down her sleeves lazily. Watching Zhang Liangshan concoct medicine, she flipped through the book as she tried to figure out how to mix the medicine.

Just when the three of them were quiet, a ruckus came from outside the door.

Listening carefully, it was actually the sound of the argument between Sang Ning and Yue Qing.

Gu Daiyan got up and walked out. As soon as she opened the curtain, she saw that the sabre in Sang Ning's hand had stopped at the tip of her nose. She was so shocked that she took a small step back, then looked at Yue Qing's gloating expression and smirked: "What's wrong?"

"Do you know that the prince sent me there …"

"Since you're unwilling to be loyal to the Third Prince, you naturally don't have to stay by his side." Gu Danyan's eyes lit up slightly as he continued to speak under Sang Ning's angry expression, "You subordinates have been worried for your masters, but who would remember to ignore the title of prince? In the end, the Third Prince is still Duan Chengxuan's nephew, and the more trouble you have buried in the future, the harder it will be for the two of them to reconcile."

"A woman's benevolence!" Sang Ning sneered coldly, "What kind of friendship do the royal family have?!"

"Of course there are. Since I was once the Crown Prince's concubine, then these princes are all my nephews. Even if Duan Chengxuan wanted to injure them, he still had to ask me." Gu Daiyan held Sang Ning's scimitar with one hand and walked step by step towards him. "You have already experienced the taste of exterminating your loved ones. Do you want Duan Cong and Duan Chengxuan to have a taste of the same?"

"How dare you!" The high-ranking officer who had followed them from the side hollered, "How dare you, a girl, call out the names of the Emperor and the Prince!"

Hong Xiao quickly stopped the people on both sides. Seeing that Sang Ning was about to flare up, Cheng Shan, who was guarding nearby, quickly walked up and grabbed Sang Ning's arm. "Lord, there's no need to argue with this princess, you can't win against her."

"A mere little girl …"

"Little girl, you sure know more about relationships than a shitty old man like you!" Gu Liuyan stomped her feet in anger. You are the little girl, she should be older than Sanning in these two lifetimes!

Seeing the direction in which they were quarreling getting weirder and weirder, Zhang Liangshan and Hong Xiao quickly used their hands and legs to drag them back into the tent. Cheng Shan had no choice but to call for Sang Ning to come with them.

"She was the one who told Third Prince about me." Sang Ning was so angry that his face turned red. He sat on the brick and stabbed his long blade into the ground.

Chengshan's face was calm, and Sanin didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Gu Daiyan was pushed back into the tent. Zhang Liangshan smashed Gu Shenwei onto the bed with a disappointed look, "The more you live, the more you will return. Didn't the Prince put Sanning beside the Third Prince to protect you?"

"That's because Duan Chengxuan had underestimated the Third Prince. It's only a matter of time before Sang Ning's matter is discovered." Gu Danyan picked up the pillow beside him and put it in Hua's bosom, feeling somewhat wronged: "Besides, this is the only way I can make the Third Prince believe me."

"What do you want him to believe you're doing?" Zhang Liang Shan sighed.

Gu Danyan looked at Yue Qing and Su Yuwan from afar and still said: "I want to help him take the throne."

"Just because he's my nephew?" Duan Chengxuan's low and deep voice sounded from outside the carriage.

Gu Danyan stared blankly as Duan Chengxuan walked before him and looked down at him in a condescending manner, yet he remained calm as he said, "That's not the case. It's just that I've noticed that neither of you are in the wrong.

"This is my relationship with him, you're right." Duan Chengxuan frowned.

"I'm not wrong, but I love you. I don't want you to make a mistake because of me." Gu Danyan lazily held his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile, "Furthermore, the Third Prince is willing to work for me. This kind of friendship is hard to repay, but it can also help untie the knot in his heart."
