The pastries of the Everlasting Feast Hall and the banquet of the Taibai residence. The servants on both sides were respectful, and the tables were filled with people who hated him.
It was extremely similar to the time when she was imprisoned in Prince Jing's mansion. Currently, she was indifferently picking up a piece of Hibiscus Sesame before Duan Cheng Xuan could set foot in the future. She even smiled lightly as she looked at the Hundred Flavors Tower girl who was packing her food box not far away.
"It's already too early to do anything, and His Highness still knows about it?" The little girl turned her head in shock.
She didn't even remember that she was no longer Crown Prince Jing's consort.
While she was still in a daze, that little girl had already been urged to leave with her food box, followed by Gu Cheng's threat to keep her quiet. The Hibiscus Blossom in her mouth became dull for a while, before she picked up the jujube cake beside her and put it in her mouth, not even lifting her head as she said, "Go and get me two or three books to roll up."
Duan Feng held the cup tight. She didn't know what Gu Danyan wanted to do.
The maid at the side asked in detail what kind of book she wanted to read, but Gu Daiyan raised his eyebrows. He thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, go and buy me some wood."
"Wood?"
"Wood that's easy to grind and make into children's toys." Gu Liuyan answered while deep in thought.
She and Duan Chengxuan were originally supposed to separate from each other, but as long as the matters of Sky Flame City had nothing to do with immortality, not to mention the lives and fates of her family, she would not interfere.
Sweat trickled down the maid's forehead, but he still had a smile on his face. "This servant will find some silk and thread for you. It looks like I can make a child's purse …"
"Even if I find her, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it." A familiar voice came from the door.
Both Duan Feng and Gu Cheng's gazes were focused on the man who had just punished Duan Chengye and Duan Chengrui, but the man in front of them was as domineering as ever, not even sparing a glance at the others from start to finish. Just like a few days ago, he quickly sat down beside Gu Panyan and spoke up straight.
Gu Danyan looked at him coldly, then ate the rest of the date cake. Just as she was about to go and get some other pastries, the man with the cold noodles beside her reached out his hand and pressed it against her hand. He looked at her quietly, "You can't eat too much of the pastries, do you think you're a seventeen or eighteen year old girl?"
"You're cooperating with Gu Cheng?" Gu Danyan retracted his hand and looked at Duan Chengxuan as he placed the bowl of soup in front of him.
"Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengye have already been convicted, and I haven't given up on the weakness in their hands for a single day. It's just that Yu'er thinks that I'm betraying his word …"
"The matter of longevity has been resolved by me as well." Gu Daiyan interrupted Duan Chengxuan and picked up the bowl. His eyes were glued to Duan Chengxuan as he asked, "So you abandoned me the last time you came here?"
He seemed to be choked.
Duan Chengxuan looked at Gu Danyan with slight astonishment, as he had never thought that Gu Danyan was someone who would act on his feelings.
But now the peach blossom eyes were smeared with moisture, and even his frozen heart was smeared with moisture.
"I'm sorry." Duan Chengxuan helplessly raised his hand, and his fingertip slid down from her eye tail to his ear. "I thought you were a woman with a heart of stone."
"Is that so?" Gu Danyan smiled as he raised his eyebrows.
"I've brought you all the stars in the sky. It's very rare to do this at the Hundred Flavors Tower now." When he saw the complicated patterns on her clothes and how heavy they were, when Cheng Shan came in carrying all the stars in the sky, he said in a low voice, "Bring out Yan'Er's clothes."
He only opened the lunchbox that was filled with stars, and placed the big pastry in a messy pile on the table. At the same table, Gu Cheng and Duan Feng were having a difficult time interjecting the conversation between the two of them. It was only at this moment that Gu Cheng faked a cough and said, "Your Highness Duke of Jing, compared to this, shouldn't we talk about the matter of immortality?"
"The matter of longevity is not under my control. I know nothing about it." His pair of cold eyes sent chills down Gu Cheng's spine as he ordered the maidservants beside him, "Move all of these pastries to the back, let's eat some food first."
"It's you who brought all the stars in the sky!" Gu Daiyan exclaimed in a low voice.
"Then we still have to eat first." Before the surrounding maids and servants could come over to clean up the mess, Duan Feng had already turned her head to the side with a chuckle. The corners of her eyes were red as she kissed Duan Chengxuan's thin lips, and her slender fingers were barely able to grab onto Duan Chengxuan's wrist.
His fingertips brushed her palm, interlacing his fingers with hers, while his other hand went around the back of her neck and said in a slurred voice, "Someone is watching."
"I didn't know you were a reserved person." Gu Liuyan finally opened up some distance. Her hair fluttered gently as she tilted her head, and there was a smile at the corner of her eyes: "Since you've decided to cooperate, why don't you stay here."
"You can't! If the two of you …"
Before Gu Cheng could even finish speaking, the shining dagger had already pressed against Duan Chengxuan's neck, and the hand that Gu Pingyan had lightly grabbed onto Duan Chengxuan's shoulder earlier had coiled around the back of his head. Before he could even react, Gu Cheng had already grabbed onto Gu Cheng's hair, causing him to slightly tilt his head back so that his neck could be completely exposed under the blade of the weapon.
The gentleness in her eyes was gone, and she looked at Duan Chengxuan with a trace of viciousness. "You'll either die here with me, or stay here?"
It was the first time that Duan Chengxuan had been captured in such a way, but when he saw Gu Danyan's gaze that caused chills to run down his spine, he instead laughed heartily. His trembling movements caused a small wound to appear on his neck.
Gu Cheng stood up with a clap of his hands, as if he had let the two meet from the very beginning … No, perhaps it was because he wanted to start cooperating with Duan Chengxuan, and all of this was a mistake.
However, the sound of the clapping of the table did not scare Gu Pingyan at all. Amidst the startled cries of the maidservants, she even leaned forward and sat on Duan Chengxuan's thigh. Her head was slightly tilted as she stared coldly at Duan Feng: "You make the choice."
Gu Liuyan was the chess piece for Duan Feng to destroy Navy Tide's peace, while Duan Chengxuan was the key to the struggle between the two princes. It was impossible for him to reveal his ambitions to Gu Cheng while losing two of the key points.
Clenching his fists tightly, his true colors were about to surface.
In the next moment, Duan Chengxuan's hand had already lightly rested on her waist, and he seemed to be maintaining the danger of having his throat cut by Gu Pingyan at any time as he pulled his into his embrace. The dagger that should have been at his waist had also changed directions, and it was accompanied by Gu Pingyan's faintly discernable chuckle.
"So what if we are all under the control of others? So what if we all perish together?"
"You're really cooperating." The saber blade in Gu Liuyan's hand lightly lifted Duan Chengxuan's chin, and his shoulder was pressed against the pit of his neck. Duan Chengxuan's voice followed, "It's already clear who belongs to who, how many steps away is the poisonous maggot that's hidden in the darkness from the sunlight? "But the ninth prince you've been protecting is still so helpless."
Gu Daiyan leaned into Duan Chengxuan's embrace and said in a low voice, "Moreover, Qingze and Grandfather have already sent them back. So what if they die?"
Gu Cheng's face instantly turned ashen.
When did these two keep their promises?
