Zhang Liangshan hadn't come out of his tent for a long time.

Only when Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengxuan returned with the remnants of Ai Yan's faction did he walk out with a dishevelled appearance. His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Duan Chengxuan as he said in a low voice, "My prince, did she take some antidote with her when she left?"

With a cold expression, Duan Chengxuan jumped down from his horse and tossed the bloodstained helmet to his subordinate. He frowned, "What's the matter?"

"If she had recklessly tried the antidote, perhaps she would have died even faster." Zhang Liangshan quickly shook his head and walked forward, "Her body is no longer what it used to be. She can walk upright now because of the poison in her body. Once one of them is cured, everything will be broken."

Duan Chengxuan frowned, he could no longer hear the hurrying Duan Chengyu behind him as he asked him how he was going to deal with these handicapped veterans. He grabbed Zhang Liangshan's arm and walked into a tent to have the people in the camp personally write a letter to him.

When Hong Xiao heard of this, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness is well versed in medicine, so naturally you won't take such risks. Your Highness, you don't have to worry."

Hearing him say so, the nervous Zhang Liangshan also blinked his eyes in confusion and said, "That's true …"

Only then did Duan Cheng Xuan's worried heart barely return to her stomach.

Yan'Er's medical skills were so good, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

"The Concubine Xian has sent a letter over, I hope you all can return quickly. A few days ago, when Huifei was already the new Empress, the Dongfang family in Huifei's parents' home supported Duan Chengrui to succeed as Crown Prince, but the strange thing is, other than Meng Xu's faction and the two parties, Duke Jing and Prince Zong Ping, all the other parties expressed their intention to impeach the Third Prince for treason and even brought out evidence to prove their wrongdoings."

"When did he betray the country?" Duan Cheng Xuan asked.

"Ever since he was a teenager, he had colluded with Gu Cheng and even made use of Gu Cheng to stabilize the border. The Emperor and many other court officials all thought that Duan Feng was innocent because Duan Chenrui was the scapegoat, but the Empress was the one who supported Duan Chengrui. Now, Duke Jing, if you go back with Prince Zong Ping, I'm afraid you'll need to go to the justice courts with Duan Chengrui to stand trial. " Qi Rou frowned, even her current business class knew the mysteriousness of this.

If Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan, the two people with the highest possibility of becoming Crown Prince, were to be put on trial, then the remaining princes would have a fair chance.

At the same time, he was no longer sure who the mastermind was. He was also no longer able to identify the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on the emperor.

After all, when they returned to Sky Flame City, not only would the Ninth Prince be able to inherit the throne, the remaining princes would also have a chance. Moreover, their mufei was still in the imperial harem, unless they could find the person who truly poisoned the Emperor …

"So he really was a traitor." Hong Xiao swallowed his saliva. This was a severe crime. "With this, we can't form an alliance with him, right?"

"Duan Chengrui is not an idiot for him to have reached his current status. Back then, he had no one to rely on, and his royal brother did not even like this prince. Back then, it might have been possible for him to find Gu Cheng to support him, but when it came to treason, I had the same opinion as Yan'Er. If he was truly a traitor and had done many things, the throne would have long since fallen into his pocket. After all, when Gu Cheng was at his peak, Duan Chengrui had not been able to get him any benefits.

Qi Rou hurriedly said, "Not only that, the Emperor even sent ministers to personally escort Duan Chengrui."

"In this way, he won't be able to send the message." Duan Chengyu, who had just finished cleaning up, followed closely behind his. Seeing Qi Rou's clean clothes, he only wiped the blood on his palm and moved a few steps away.

"Looks like there's a lot of evidence for those ministers, but there's also a lot of evidence." Duan Chengxuan's gaze was dangerous. It seemed like the person behind him was preparing to walk out, but then he thought for a moment and said, "The Fallen Water Barrier's matter of immortality …"

"The Emperor allows Third Brother to leave his trusted aides there to deal with him, but only with the overseer and the other two emissaries." As Qi Rou said this, she took out another secret letter, "In addition, the envoy requested to hand over Gu Danyan, but the Emperor rejected. She also said that since the two countries have a good relationship, they should trust each other, and also decided to exchange the Sixth Prince for Aldan to express his sincerity."

Things were getting more and more chaotic.

Duan Chengxuan didn't have any ways to resolve these matters one by one, and he could only rub his forehead while feeling a headache. "Looks like only by going to Sky Flame will I know what exactly they're doing."

"This is indeed the only way." Duan Chengyu followed and dryly laughed a few times. He helplessly looked at Qi Rou and said, "Why don't you go to Yinzhou …"

"I have to find Gu Danyan." Qi Rou crossed her arms and shook her head. Her gaze landed on Hong Xiao. "Can Hong Xiao lend me some time?"

"What happened to Gu Liuyan?" Duan Chengyu thought he had missed something.

"It's just my intuition as a woman. After all, you all have important things to do and can't take into account her." Qi Rou shook her head and walked to Duan Chengyu's side to help wipe off the blood and dust on his face. "She's a girl after all."

Duan Chengyu was flattered and stiffened on the spot, while Duan Chengxuan's brows were tightly knitted as he looked at Hong Xiao and said, "Protect them well."

"I will." Hong Xiao's head felt as if it had been struck by garlic.

"Your Royal Highness, important matters are as such." Cheng Shan stepped forward and said, "Although your lover is important, it is not as important as the chips for you to survive in the future."

Duan Chengxuan nodded and raised his eyebrows. "We'll set out to return to Sky Flame tonight."

He would settle the matter at hand and bring Gu Mingyan back to him.

After that, they would have a peaceful life without any worries. She could go to a school or a clinic, and he could accompany her to make up for the years he hadn't spent with her.

Yan'Er, wait for me.

Yun Qingyang knew why she had yet to wake up. It was two days after he had seen Gu Danyan.

He spent a lot of time trying to figure out why she was in such a deep sleep. In the end, he came to the conclusion that she had made her own decision.

It was not escaping, but simply restraining, burying the truth in sleep.

In this way, even if Duan Feng wanted to harm his family and friends in order to threaten them, it would be of no use, because she was truly in deep sleep.

Seeing Yun Qingyang's bloodshot eyes, Duan Feng could not wait any longer. "What exactly happened?!"

"Yan'Er must have come into contact with too many poisons, and the phoenix gall root and stalk rarely have records, so this old man is powerless." Yun Qingyang gripped Gu Qingyan's hands tightly. As her grandfather, he naturally would not expose her lies. She could only accept his mistake.

However, if Yan'Er was unable to wake up …
