Seven days later, news of ninth prince Duan Feng returning to Sky Flame City spread to the palace.

The city guards welcomed the group of people into the city respectfully, but when they saw the woman's face in the carriage, they cried out, "Your Highness …"

"Princess Altan encountered an ambush. This prince will return her unharmed." Duan Feng spurred her horse to block the gazes of the soldiers. With a threatening expression, she said, "Do not speak of this matter."

"Princess Cordane's return is a major event …"

"The person who ambushed you was in Sky Flame City. If you say that you put the princess in danger, I'm afraid you won't want her head anymore." As Duan Feng said this, Yu Hong, who had his face covered by a black cloth, hit his long whip hard on the ground. As Duan Feng said this, Yu Hong, who had his face covered by a black cloth, hit his long whip on the ground.

This time, the clean and dry clothes made her seem somewhat playful. As for Gu Pingyan, who was next to her, she similarly wore a gold robe over her shoulders, the next piece was as white as snow, and at the end of her skirt, there were also the deep blue colored silk lines of the Cyan Bird pattern, which were also a dark blue water belt, with wider cuffs, and a silver bracelet on her wrist with a red rope.

With a single glance, one could tell that the two of them weren't people of Navy Tide.

As the carriage headed towards the Ninth Prince's residence at a moderate pace, Duan Feng had already sent someone to request to see her Imperial Father in a long time ago. She wanted to tell him that Duan Chengrui was controlling the matter of him making a move at the borders, and she even mentioned the matter of slander.

However, when she got off the carriage, Duan Feng was still standing uneasily beside the carriage amongst the spies. She watched as Gu Liu Yan put her hand on his palm with a faint smile on her face and almost got off the carriage in his arms.

Very obedient.

After landing on the ground, he firmly stood there and walked inside with her in his arms. However, after a while, the relationship between Princess Erdan and the Ninth Prince disappeared with the wind, and everyone knew about it.

And the matter of the Ninth Prince's hero saving the damsel in distress was also put on the table.

All of this happened in just four short hours.

Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengyu were the first to know that the teacup in Duan Chengxuan's hand had practically turned into powder, and the first thing Duan Chengyu did was to press down the long blade that Duan Chengxuan had placed on the table as he said in a low voice, "He's really bringing Gu Liuyan onto the stage now, and he'll expose himself within a few days."

"What exactly is Gu Danyan doing!?" Qi Rou, who was waiting at the side for further information, slapped the table and stood up. "It's one thing if she was working with Duan Chengrui, but now she's interfering with Duan Feng's side. Even if she's from both sides, she should at least have a bottom line!"

Suddenly, Duan Chengyu jumped in fright. In this slight moment of absent-mindedness, Duan Chengxuan had already snatched away his long saber and calmly walked out in large strides.

"Royal Uncle! "There must be something fishy going on, we should be fine now …"

"There must be something fishy about this. This King can't just sit there and wait for death." Drawing his long saber from its scabbard, Duan Chengxuan threw the scabbard back into Duan Chengyu's hands and said in a deep voice, "I only want one thing, do you want to stop me as well?"

Swallowing his saliva, Duan Chengyu was unable to say a single word that he hoped Duan Ling Tian would consider the bigger picture.

Compared to his previous uncle, the current Duan Chengxuan had endured for several months already, and unless it was an important matter, he hadn't said a single word in his estate these days. Even when he received news that Duan Chenrui definitely hadn't changed his camp, he had only replied with an indifferent 'Mmm'.

However, Gu Mingyan was different to him.

"If Gu Liuyan saw you like this, he would definitely be worried." Duan Chengyu could only walk up to him helplessly. In this clear sky, he couldn't really let him chop people down, right?

"She did nothing to reassure This King!"

Before Duan Chengyu could stop him, Duan Chengxuan had already disappeared without a trace, and even Cheng Shan had disappeared, leaving only Hong Xiao behind. "Your highness will not do anything reckless, rest assured, Your Highness and Miss. However, news has arrived from Sang Ning that it's a suspicious woman by Your Highness's side. He didn't say anything when she discovered him, but chased him all the way. Many brothers are now injured …"

"Quick, let him in and treat him." Qi Rou quickly pulled Duan Chengyu aside and had Hong Xiao bring the men to the courtyard so they wouldn't be discovered. On the other hand, they had to pull Duan Chengyu back as he smiled and said, "Prince Jing is already used to being so arrogant in this life. How much trouble can he cause if he continues to be so arrogant?"

Only now did Duan Chengyu understand.

Even though all of the court officials in the imperial court had said that he had done a great deed, he still could not defeat a single word of Su Yu Wan's. Now that Gu Liu Yan was in danger, could it be that she could make this wild horse restrain his temper and wait for death?

If that was the case, Gu Mingyan was afraid that Duan Chenxuan would treat her worse than Su Yuwan.

At the same time, the Ninth Prince's manor was completely surrounded. Duan Chengxuan, who should have been poisoned, sat on his black horse and pulled at the reins with a long blade in his hands. His steel-like steely face made people call him Shura and his killing intent was still fresh in his heart as he looked at the Ninth Prince's signboard and the shivering butler as he said in a deep voice, "Princess Erdan is the one who poisoned this king, quickly hand him over!"

The butler's calves and stomach began to tremble.

Where did this come from? Where did the singing come from!

The attendant that passed the message through the door practically fell into the room, trembling as he spoke to Duan Feng who was drinking his tea: "Ninth Prince, Duke Jing said that Princess Aldan poisoned him. Now, he wants you to hand him over!"

"Puff —" Duan Feng spat out all the tea in her mouth and looked at the attendant in disbelief. "What did he say?!"

"King Jing said that Princess Er Dan poisoned him. This is the perfect time for you to hand him over!"

The manservant could only wail and shout loudly.

Only Yu Zhi was laughing out loud. She even smiled as she leaned on Gu Daiyan's shoulder and smiled: "Gu Daiyan, Gu Daiyan, the man you're looking for is too interesting."

As for Gu Daiyan, her eyes were still unfocused, but her cicadas' eyelashes trembled slightly.

Being caught unprepared, Duan Feng had never expected that Duan Chengxuan would cause such a ruckus. Gu Cheng was currently not by his side, so what should he do?

"If you send someone to the door, then tell me what sort of status Princess Aldan has and why he poisoned the Jing King. In addition, we don't know about the incident where Princess Aldan was attacked. What would happen if His Highness wants to fish something from his?" Eunuch Wu could only brace himself and walk forward to inform his.

The valet had no choice but to get up and drive outside.
