C768

Originally, this so-called sleep was just a temporary respite to ensure the safety of Grandfather and Qing Ze.

After waking up, it could be said that she had no plans at all, and no one would tell her what had happened outside. Only what made her feel at ease was that her grandfather and Qing Yi had safely left, and the matters after could only be dealt with by Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengli.

The winter was over, and Duan Feng had volunteered to return to the Sky Flame just to wash away her grievances. However, the journey was neither too fast nor too slow.

Outside the carriage, it was spring. Unfortunately, the people that quickly walked beside the carriage were all maidservants. Gu Pingyan looked at Duan Feng who was forced to ride in the same carriage as the maidservants, and said coldly, "This servant only has this servant's life."

"Your mother was only a servant in the palace then." With that said, Gu Daiyan raised his hand to signal them to stop the carriage, but unfortunately, her legs were weak, and even when she woke up she was almost unconscious, so she could only speak to Yu Xuan in front of her: "Why do you need to bring these servants? It would be better to feed them all the way to a house in some town. "

As soon as he said this, both Yu Hong and Duan Feng looked at Gu Danyan with strange expressions in their eyes.

They had all thought that Gu Mingyan would let the servants into the carriage to rest, but now it was just to let them find another place to stay.

Just as Yu Hong was hesitating over whether he should speak or not, Gu Cheng, who was riding a horse, opened his mouth and said, "The mansion's mission is much better than this long journey, but you yourself are on guard. If you change a batch of maidservants here, I'm afraid you'll have to take advantage of the situation and enter."

"In that case, torturing them is my fault." Gu Daiyan sneered, threw the curtain back to its original position, and continued to keep silent.

He, Yu Hong, and Eunuch Wu had yet to return, so it was likely that Duan Chengrui had already become suspicious. Along the way, he had to find an opportunity to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, and once Duan Chengrui found a weakness, he would be unable to deal with it.

With this thought in mind, Gu Cheng still ordered some people to look for Mu Qing. It would be best if they could finish him off completely.

Duan Feng looked at the cold expression on Gu Pingyan's face and laughed softly: "You really have the temper of a lady."

"I'm a lady to begin with, so why not have this temper?" As Gu Liuyan said this, he suddenly remembered that Gu Sheng had also been poisoned by the phoenix gall stem. If Qing Ze and his grandfather had acted according to the plan, then the remaining Jade Dragon Snow should have already been taken away.

"However, was Mu Qing at your command when he went to poison Gu Sheng?"

Duan Feng and Yu Hong did not utter a word as they were faced with Gu Liuyan's question.

Gu Liuyan was used to it, as her body was always very tired, and the pain in her chest had already turned into pain all over her body. The only thing that made her feel better was that the smell of her blood seemed to have returned to her body.

He opened the bag at his back, revealing the medicine chest inside. The entire convoy slowly came to a halt, the attendant was only half-kneeling in the carriage as he checked Gu Gouyan's pulse and said in a low voice, "Your Highness' body is too weak. If we continue our journey these few days, I'm afraid that you'll have to lie down for a few months when it's time to return to Sky Flame City.

"I can see that she's in high spirits." Duan Feng snorted coldly as she saw Gu Cheng climb into the carriage.

The manservant wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said in a deep voice, "These few days, I have seen that His Highness has been holding on with all his might. The wounds on his wrist have increased even more and the poison has spread extremely quickly …"

Only after saying this did the attendant dare to slowly pull up Gu Xuan's sleeves under Gu Cheng's gaze. The varying depths of the wounds made Gu Cheng's face turn cold, "Beacon!"

"It's not me!" Duan Feng quickly waved her hand.

"When His Highness is in this state, it is often easy to get tired. These wounds aren't caused by sharp weapons, they should just be there to keep him awake." The boy hurriedly said. He didn't dare to apply medicine on Gu Danyan's arm as he was afraid that Gu Danyan would find out that he was being watched day in and day out.

Returning his sleeve to its original position, Yu Zhou said in a deep voice, "Bringing her to the Sky Flame is not the best plan."

"So no matter when or where, you have to watch her properly." Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "When we reach the next town, I will secretly leave. Even if Duan Chengrui knows that Eunuch Wu and Yu Hong have betrayed you, he cannot let him know that I have betrayed you."

"But what would you say if you went back to him?" Duan Feng looked at Gu Pingyan and became slightly flustered.

"I'm going to help him solve the mystery of longevity. Coincidentally, we've already sent people to settle the matter of the shrine." As Gu Cheng said this, he instructed Duan Feng in detail not to let Gu Danyan leave her sight, and to let Yu Hong look at him properly.

Yu Hong carried Gu Cheng into the inn to rest for a while. When Gu Cheng landed on the ground, he had already disappeared, while the person beside Duan Feng said with a smile: "Ninth Prince, quite a few top quality goods have come to the restaurant in this town."

Duan Feng's fingertip drew across her chin and her gaze became slightly lewd. "Let's not talk about this for now. Did that damned child and old man send it over to Duan Chengxuan yet?"

"We should be arriving in the next two days. You can relax and go play." After that person said this, Duan Feng didn't continue to hesitate. She spent some silver and sent people to the Jianghu to buy some women with strong martial arts skills to watch over Gu Danyan, otherwise, he really would have to watch by her side every day. It wasn't fun at all.

"This Gu Mingyan is good-looking, but she has a thorn in her side. Let's find a few obedient ones today."

At the same time, it was raining.

Eunuch Wu did not personally send Qing Zi to the manor of the Prince of Zong Ping. He only sent him to the vicinity of the Misty Rain Pavilion. He handed the paper umbrella over to Qing Ze and stuffed a letter into his arms. "It's something that can only save your mother."

However, he had only taken a few steps forward before he turned his head back to look at the direction where he had come from. It was empty there, and Qing Qing was so scared that she almost burst into tears. She could not care less about the heavy paper umbrella in her hand as she charged into the Misty Rain Pavilion with a small, broken head of rain.

This was only a branch of Misty Rain Pavilion. When the Lady Boss saw a child rushing in, she quickly redirected the shop's maidservant, "I'm afraid it's a child who's here to take shelter. You take care of him. Wait for the rain to stop."

Before the little girl could reply, Qing Qing ran up to the shop owner, "I'm here to look for Aunt Rou. Mother is in danger!"
