"Aren't you afraid that I'll make the matter of Yun Qi public?"

"Since the Blood Vine comes from my mouth, and so many people have treated it as real in the short span of a year, if I were to confirm that it is from me, then I would know the method of immortality. Even if Yun Dian returns to the world at this moment, how can you prove that I, Gu Liuyan, am Yun Dian's daughter? I am no longer the daughter of the Prime Minister or the consort of the Crown Prince. Gu Liuyan sneered. He looked at Gu Cheng as if he was looking at a joke, "I insist on keeping Duan Chengxuan here today. If you don't allow it, then kill one of us. The other one will repay you a hundred times over. You can give it a try!"

However, she did not care in the slightest about the appearance of the two. They were more like guests and women in a romantic place, and she had been acting without restraint her entire life. In her previous life, she had been careful not to step over the lightning pool, making it even harder for her to walk out of the patient's room.

However, in this life, she was on the verge of death, so why would she be under the control of others?

"I'm afraid that I'll be restricted by you alone, but I'm even more afraid that you'll try some tricks to keep a mere man by this princess' side. What's wrong with that?"

Gu Daiyan raised his chin in the same manner as Duan Chengxuan, and he was filled with arrogance.

In this world, the only person who dared to say that Duan Chengxuan was a mere man was probably Gu Danyan.

When he saw her peach blossom eyes slightly raise up, his eyebrows rose in anger. He hurriedly pressed himself against the blade in her hands and helped her speak up towards Gu Cheng and Duan Guiwan, "I'm not here, but you two are causing Yan'er to be afraid. You two are giving her a weak body to continue detoxifying. I don't want to leave."

Cheng Shan tightly clenched his fist. He thought in his heart that this was not the true purpose of his visit.

However, only Duan Chengxuan knew that Gu Danyan had never let anyone accompany him in all these years. He was always calm and collected, but the last time he saw Gu Danyan's eyes glaze over, and today he heard her personally ask him to stay.

"Don't say you want This King's life."

"Even if she wants the lives of over a hundred people in your Ninth Prince's estate, I can take it."

However, Gu Mingyan didn't know that he was so infatuated.

He still vividly remembered the appearance he had when he was younger than his current mature and steady self. Even though he doted on Su Yu Wan, he did not forget his position and power, but now, the man beside him looked like the king of evil, whose heart had been seized by Su Daji.

Duan Feng silently cursed in her heart.

If it was before, there were still some things that could be restricted. But now, it seemed that the matter of the clouds was not a shackle to Gu Meiyan at all. It was just an excuse to fake a compromise and reveal their true identities.

Currently, Duan Chengxuan ought to know who these subordinates were actually made use of, while Gu Daiyan already knew the true identities of him and Gu Cheng. However, if the two of them had died in the Ninth Prince's estate, and coincidentally encountered with royal father who didn't believe in any of the princes, it would only destroy his and Gu Cheng's ambitions.

However, Gu Cheng was staring fixedly at Duan Chengxuan at this moment, "Your Highness Duke Jing, do you still remember that I reminded the empress dowager of this matter? Since then, you've never wanted to tell Gu Liuyan about it?"

"At this moment, the Third Prince and Sixth Prince are in prison, and Yu'er is standing on my side. "The empress dowager had sent people to kill Yan'Er. As long as I can stay by her side, I can protect her life." As Duan Chengxuan spoke, he looked at Gu Daiyan and added, "I'll explain everything clearly to you."

Gu Danyan nodded.

It seemed like she was trapped in this place at this moment, and quite a few things had happened outside.

According to what Duan Chengxuan said, Duan Chengxuan was currently at the heart of the struggle. If the Ninth Prince were to really make a move on him, it could only be to set fire to his body, not to mention that the Empress had already changed hands. The Emperor wasn't really poisoned and would die if he were to be reinstated as a prince in the future as long as he stabilized the throne.

In this way, it made sense.

The person that she had left out wasn't her.

After staring at Duan Chengxuan for a long time, before the person on the other side even said anything, Gu Danyan withdrew her saber and threw it onto the table. After staring at Duan Chengxuan for a long time, before the person on the other side even said anything, Gu Danyan withdrew her blade and threw it onto the table.

"No need to explain?" Duan Chengxuan asked as he obediently sheathed the dagger.

"There's no need. I think this table is too inedible to eat anymore. Also, get someone to pack up the stars and bring the food over. If Duke Jing stays, then there's no need to set up another courtyard." As Gu Liuyan said this, she glanced at Gu Cheng, "Now that you have a request for us, you might as well regard us as honored guests instead of those threats."

As soon as Ye Zichen finished speaking, Gu Danyan also didn't want to continue talking to Ye Zichen.

To think that she'd been so nervous all this time. The situation might have been set in stone by now.

The strategy Duan Cheng Xuan used was exactly the same as hers.

She walked to the door of the backyard, looking straight ahead. When she saw Yu Zhi, she said softly, "Those who know the will of heaven know when to advance and when to retreat."

This Jade Ganoderma was not a simple person. She had read countless books and had seen many extraordinary bloodlines and hidden experts. Since her Yun lineage was different, and with Yu Zhi speaking so confidently, Gu Liuyan naturally believed it.

Yu Zhi looked at her with a weird expression, "The world treats me like a monster."

Yu Zhi's voice was a little less playful than usual, a little more calm than usual: "But you are different. When you were the Crown Prince Jing's wife, you were treated highly by others, and now you are even more influential, but I can't calculate what you really want. You are so changeable …"

"I never changed. I just realized that when I was alone, I was powerless to do anything." As Gu Liuyan said this, she gently turned around and handed the jade hairpin to Yu Zhi: "You and I are enemies. If one day you try to poison me to death, don't let my friends and family see it."

Yu Chi held the plain jade hairpin in her hand and sneered, "You already said that we are enemies, but you still expect me to do such a thing for you?"

"Because you and I are of the same species. You have always tried to get to the bottom of it. You are only asking yourself." As Gu Liuyan said this, she pushed open the door in front of her and hid her long hair between the two small doors.

Yu Zhi held the jade hairpin tightly in her hand until it shattered.

Arrogant, arrogant.

Gu Liuyan was smarter than anyone, and he could see through everything, but he could only make people want to die from jealousy.

Inside the house, Gu Pingyan only spat out a mouthful of blood before he quietly poured the cup of blood into the pot beside the window. The blood stains on his lips disappeared after she put it in the tea and fell to the ground.

She only broke the teacup because she was angry, but there was only darkness in her eyes — she could only sit and wait for her impending doom.
