The prison of the Supreme Court wasn't filled with any darkness or humidity. Instead, it was filled with rooms with sparse objects. One of the walls had been replaced with an ice-cold steel pole.

Compared to Duan Chenrui's indifference, the younger Duan Chengye was obviously slightly impatient.

When Duan Chengxuan brought Duan Chengyu into the dungeon, Duan Chengye only looked at him coldly. "You really used me as a chess piece."

"Why not?" Duan Chengxuan looked at him in the same manner, while Duan Chengyu dismissed the officials from the justice courts outside. Before they could argue, he said, "We are all brothers, let's talk later."

The moment he said this, the two brothers only gave him a cold glare.

Even Duan Chengxuan rubbed his forehead in disappointment. He walked up to Duan Chengrui's cell and said, "Yue Qing has brought Su Yuwan and left."

A trace of astonishment flashed past Duan Chengrui's face, then he only gripped the worn-out cup in his hand tightly, and only spoke softly after being silent for a long while. "I never thought that …"

"Gu Cheng wants Duan Feng to ascend to the throne." Duan Chengyu quickly added, "Now we should stand together."

After finishing this sentence, Duan Chengxuan raised his hand to pull him off.

As expected, he saw the disdainful smile on Duan Chengrui's face, and even heard his words: "This is the Gu Cheng that you saw? In my eyes, if Gu Cheng hadn't helped me rope in a faction within the imperial court, I would have died at the hands of Big Brother long ago when I was still a teenager."

"All in all, the two of you came over just to rope us in and deal with Duan Feng together?" Duan Chengye interrupted at this moment, and a trace of vigilance flashed on her face that was always arrogant. "However, in my opinion, if you all don't want to seize the throne, you can choose not to interfere in this matter and just give the throne to someone else."

They only hoped that the world would not fall into chaos.

Duan Cheng Xuan noticed that Duan Chengye's growth had surpassed his imagination.

Confronted with these words, Duan Chengrui glanced at Duan Cheng Xuan vigilantly. If he could still trust Duan Cheng Xuan before, then now, he had already lived in the prison of the justice courts for a long time. Even he couldn't trust this former enemy of his, let alone …

"Royal Uncle, if your first goal in getting close to Gu Meiyan was to make use of her, I suspect that you were the one who let Su Yuwan escape on purpose. Yue Qing has been by my side since she was young, who else could be behind him other than me? If she was alone, how could she possibly bring Su Yuwan away from under your nose?" Duan Chengrui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was extremely vexed. "Perhaps I shouldn't have believed you from the beginning."

"We have all seen how you treated Gu Danyan back then." Duan Chengye added a sentence at the right time, not fearing in the slightest that Duan Chengyu's gaze, which was close to being able to kill, would look at him.

At this point, everyone's thoughts seem to have a reason.

But to Duan Chengxuan, this was already the worst situation. If they were to continue fighting, even if they settled on Duan Feng, he would be the only one left to ascend to the throne in the end.

If that was the case, how could he accompany Gu Daiyan throughout the mountains and rivers?

He was silent for a moment, and just as everyone was silent, Gu Zixian, who was always wearing the uniform of a guard, raised his head and walked to Duan Chengxuan's side and said, "I actually think the Sixth Prince's words are reasonable. Since your goals are all different, why do you care so much about Duan Feng's and Gu Cheng's conditions now?"

Duan Chengxuan glanced at the woman indifferently, "Because Duan Feng has already made her move on Yan'er, and Gu Cheng is the last line of defense to protect Yan'er."

Once Senior Servant Gui was released by Gu Cheng, they could escort her to the White Horse Temple to report the so-called evidence.

The empress dowager who truly possessed the Imperial Jade Seal and the authority over the Emperor would quickly point her spearhead at Gu Daiyan.

"But I see that they don't care about whether Tun Yan is dead or alive. It would be better if you do this yourself, and let them fight over what they want." Even though his eyes avoided and his body lightly trembled, he still feigned calmness as he spoke, "If they want the throne, then let them fight for it. Right now, the situation is chaotic, so compared to united our forces, shouldn't we just leave it to them to their own devices?"

He raised his hand and flung Gu Zixian into Duan Chengyu's embrace, then casually walked over to Duan Chenrui and looked down upon him from above. "I choose to save Gu Liuyan, and for this reason, I can give up bail, and I won't help you seize the throne."

Duan Chengrui tightly clenched his teeth. Reason told him that he could not trust this man to save Gu Danyan, but now that he was in prison, he was completely helpless towards Gu Danyan's matter.

"You're preparing to stand by Gu Cheng's side." Duan Chengrui spoke of what Duan Chengxuan was thinking in his heart.

Gu Zixian is right, since I do not care about the throne and power, then I do not need to care about the struggle for it. Today, I hope that you can take good care of my subordinates, and I do not need to open the door to the prison of the justice courts for you. Duan Chengxuan slowly closed his eyes and slightly raised his hand towards Cheng Shan behind him. "Go and bring Gu Cheng out, then send him back to the Ninth Prince's estate in one piece. Also, tell them that I want to see my wife."

"Yes." Cheng Shan left with a frown.

Duan Chengrui first looked at Duan Chengxuan with a puzzled expression, then he saw Duan Chengyu secretly give a hand signal for him to be at ease, and following that, he walked to Duan Chengxuan's side and grabbed his collar, "You are Duke Jing of Navy Tide! "How can you do this for a woman …"

"Of course you can. Moreover, I still have evidence that you're traitors, including the fourth prince's consort who is also the disciple of that demoness. With these, it'll be easy for me to take you down." Duan Chengxuan swung away Duan Chengyu's hand with a cold expression, then turned around and grabbed Gu Zixian's wrist. As he pulled her away, he spoke with a voice that only two people could hear, "I'll give you the antidote. Go to Misty Rain Pavilion to listen to Qi Rou's instructions."

"Qi Rou is just a merchant." Gu Zi's heart beat like a drum, afraid that there would be spies outside.

"However, she was already on guard against Yue Qing and Su Yuwan. Those special powders have a way of tracking them down and you are not involved in this matter. This King believes in you." As he spoke, Duan Cheng Xuan directly threw him onto the carriage.

It was a pity that at this moment, Gu Zixian looked at the man with the cold face in front of him. His heart no longer had the slightest hint of adoration for this man, and all that was left was exhaustion.

The royal family had never taken off their masks, and she was no longer able to help him take them off.

"Regarding the matter between Su Yuwan and Yue Qing, you don't seem to be angry as expected." Gu Zixian asked softly.

"A long time ago, Yan'Er had warned me that Mu Qing was not simple, and if he left Su Yuwan behind to take revenge, it would definitely not be so simple." Duan Chengxuan slowly closed his eyes and organized everything in detail. Gu Danyan scattered the information around and formed alliances with everyone. There was only one possibility.

She still hadn't found out the truth yet, and she still needed to put out bait to lure people into her trap.

And the one who had already begun to take the bait was Gu Cheng.

Duan Chengxuan didn't know what Gu Cheng was after, but he knew that Gu Xuan wouldn't give up on his revenge.
