Gu Cheng had never thought that there was a 'special' in this world. Everything was fate.

Destiny has doomed you to be born in the mind, and your body to be incomplete.

But today, after a thousand miles of travel, he had finally managed to climb onto the horse carriage with his identity concealed. The only thing he saw was the girl that he had raised for more than ten years lying quietly in his arms.

"Is she really awake?" Gu Cheng sat beside Duan Feng, looking indifferently at Gu Danyan's extremely familiar face.

"Never woke up." Duan Feng looked at the woman in her arms in dissatisfaction. She merely didn't want her to do anything when she woke up. At the same time, she also didn't want her to roll out of the carriage, so she could only place her in his embrace.

The bones seemed to stick out against a thin layer of skin. The girl's fingers, which should have been free of Yang Chun water, had a thin cocoon around them, not to mention the wounds the maids had seen on her body recently, as well as the old ailments mentioned by the doctors.

"I know you don't like her. You're even a little afraid of her. But she's always been the most important one in the game. " Gu Cheng used a gentle tone that he had never used before to speak to Duan Feng.

"I should have imprisoned her." Duan Feng sneered.

"No matter what, she was once my daughter, and the funniest thing is, at that time I had already abandoned her and Zi Xing, and she still wanted the third prince to save my life." The look in Gu Cheng's eyes turned even more complicated as he looked at Gu Liuyan.

Looking carefully at the softness on Gu Cheng's face, Duan Feng hurriedly said, "She's just a demoness. Didn't you claim to have a heart of stone?"

"Duan Feng." Gu Cheng called out his name. Looking at his young and tender face which overlapped with the woman from his memories, he was slightly dazed, "Do you know that your mother was like her? She was even thinking of how to save me before entering the palace."

This time, Duan Feng did not say anything.

He had long forgotten about his mother's appearance, but he did not think that his mother would have any resemblance to Gu Meiyan. He only held her close to him and said: "If we bring her back to Sky Fire City, we will have a high chance of exposing her."

"Since she is already in a deep sleep, there is no need to worry too much. However, the matter of longevity still needs to be postponed. I have already sent people to destroy the Shrine of Fallen Water. We can only wait until Gu Danyan hands over the real secret recipe of immortality." As Gu Cheng spoke, his hand landed on the red rope tied around Gu Liuyan's wrist, but he didn't remove it.

"I originally wanted Mu Qing to cure her of the poison, but now Su Yuwan has fallen into Duan Chengxuan's hands …"

"Mu Qing and Su Yu Wan are not to be trusted. You'd better find a better doctor to settle this matter." Gu Cheng adjusted the wide sleeves of Gu Ming Yan's robe and sat upright at the side. "Besides that, Duan Chengxuan is currently taking the initiative to attack. It seems like he doesn't have that much time to prepare for us."

"Now that he's become a prisoner, what else can he do?" Duan Feng was astonished.

Back then when Duan Chengye went missing in another country and returned, Duan Chengxuan had no idea what bewitching medicine he fed that Meng Xu, but that Meng Xu actually said that this was extremely strange. Before the Third Prince lived in Navy Tide for a long time, he didn't have many interactions with me, and when he suspected that the evidence was fake, he even mentioned the Sixth Prince's disappearance. Now that he's returned to fight for the throne, the traitor might be him. Gu Cheng sneered.

In this way, it bought Duan Chenrui some time, but instead pulled the Sixth Prince into the water as well.

"Those things are all in your handwriting. How can such evidence be considered forgery?" With her eyebrows raised, Duan Feng could almost pinch a fly to death.

"As long as the Emperor wants to, there's nothing that he can't do." Gu Cheng raised a hand to rub his forehead, "Previously, the Emperor should have suspected that there were a few princes, but at that time, after Gu Liuyan left, the Emperor changed his mind somehow. Now that he's taking things step by step, it's not going to be so easy."

"Could this matter also be related to her …?" Duan Feng lowered her head and looked at the girl in her embrace.

"It's hard to know, but the only thing we know is that right now, Er Dan's ambassador is waiting for the emperor to call Gu Danyan out. Otherwise, Er Dan would have to send troops and we would have to do something immediately." You'd better wait until she wakes up before you marry her to keep people from talking. " Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "We only have three months at the most."

"The power behind her is very complicated. In addition, the imperial family of dans has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if the Emperor were to send troops on behalf of a princess, it wouldn't be too hard." Duan Chengyu said as he held a pile of books that came from Er Dan.

During this period of time, there were even several stories of the Emperor of Ardan sending troops on behalf of his lover. Even though there were many objections, the Emperor was still not dragged down the throne.

Originally, he wanted to use this as a way to eliminate Duan Chengxuan's fickleness in the past few days, but today, Duan Chengxuan was only standing by the window. His black robe made him even taller, and his well-defined face had lost a lot of weight in the past few days; it was obvious that he was even colder than usual.

"Royal Uncle? Are you listening to me? " Duan Chengyu called out again, unwilling to give up.

"Even so, I can't guarantee that someone will have any other thoughts for Yan'Er. I'm more worried about her body." As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan slowly turned around. His eyes seemed to still have afterimages outside the window as he said, "Let Duan Chengrui deal with the Sixth Prince himself."

The hand that Duan Chengyu used to hold onto the book trembled, "Royal Uncle, are you …"

"Since everyone knows that I am imprisoned in your mansion and that it is not my turn to be convicted, I will not have to stay here day in and day out." As he spoke, Chengshan, who was on the roof, had already firmly landed by the window and passed two finely crafted daggers over to Duan Cheng Xuan.

Putting the two daggers by his waist, Duan Chengxuan gestured for the ten or so Dark Guards to enter the courtyard before kneeling respectfully.

Duan Chengyu quickly stood up: "Royal Uncle, are you preparing to bring some people to find Gu Danyan, or are you preparing to do something else?"

"Attack the inn and force the envoys and royal brothers to go find Gu Danyan." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and patted Duan Chengyu's shoulder. "I haven't lost my reason yet. Letting me look for myself one by one is tantamount to exposing my weak points to others, not to mention the long blade and short blade in front of me, I don't even need to personally appear."

"However, if someone discovers that it was you who attacked the inn …" Duan Chengyu clenched his fists.

"Do you think that after I returned to Sky Flame City from the village at a young age and went to the battlefield to scamper about for a few years, how do you think I managed to gain a foothold?" A cold smile appeared on the corners of Duan Cheng Xuan's mouth. "Relying not only on your brain, but also on these sharp blades to deal with those that are difficult to remove and then go and fight with those whose brains aren't pure on the surface."

Duan Chengyu was silent for a while, before he finally opened his mouth and said: "Rou'er will come and receive you, be careful."

"You've finally grown up." Duan Chengxuan vigorously rubbed his head, only leaving behind afterimages as his clothes fluttered. When Duan Chengyu raised his head, all that was left was an empty courtyard.
