During the banquet, Duan Chengxuan swept his gaze across the group of people in the room without a change in expression.
At this time, Gu Cheng's expression changed again and again, the veins on his forehead bulging. "I didn't expect that the great King of Peace and Princess Erdan would know how to use their lives to threaten me."
"This King only knows that there is nothing to be afraid of." Duan Chengxuan calmly stood up, then stretched his body to pick up a small plate of various pastries before looking back at Cheng Shan and saying, "Bring me my clothes and announce to the public that after clearing my name, I have become enemies with Yu'er and Duan Chengrui, and then light a fire in Prince Jing's mansion. I'll stay here."
He casually walked two steps towards the place where Gu Mingyan had just left, but as if he had thought of something, he turned back around and instructed Cheng Shan, "Don't chop that dried tree, Yan'er is still waiting for it to bloom."
"Yes." Cheng Shan left with a sullen expression, and the two black figures landed behind Duan Chengxuan the moment he entered the long corridor. At this moment, Cheng Er was wearing black Imperial bodyguard clothing, and there were even Prince Jing's Mansion markings embroidered on his sleeves.
However, no one realized that it was only a tenth of the way in.
This was the same as telling everyone that there was nowhere in Sky Flame City that the King Jing's hand couldn't reach.
Cheng Yi grabbed a servant girl who was serving tea and led the way, but after a while, they arrived at Gu Pingyan's room. Cheng Yi grabbed a maid who was serving tea and led the way, however, they arrived at Gu Pingyan's room in a short while, and after a while, they arrived at Gu Pingyan's room.
Before he even made a move, the door in front of him had already been pushed open a little. Gu Daiyan pressed one hand against the door and smiled at him, "You can even bring back 12% of the door, but you only came to show your prowess earlier. You truly hurt my heart."
"Isn't This King here to apologize?" Duan Chengxuan lifted up the plate of pastries in his hand.
"I'm flattered to have His Highness, the grand Duke Jing, bring me some pastries." Gu Danyan pulled open the other door and winked mischievously at Duan Chengxuan.
The latter just walked up with a slight smile on his face. It was exactly the same as the man who was bewitched by the beauty. He didn't look like a cold prince at all.
Cheng Yishan was guarding the door and the two of them were very aggressive. They frightened the maids and servants so much that they did not dare to rashly approach the area and were afraid that the Jing King's men would behead them.
When he entered the room, he realized that although the bedroom was small, it was fully equipped.
However, the scrolls and books on the bookshelves were all cleared out, leaving only the various types of glazed jewelry that Gu Daiyan disliked the most. Even the rouge and nutmeg in front of the dressing table was innumerable, not to mention that the jewelry box that had yet to be closed was filled to the brim.
It was a pity that these were not his favorites.
She accepted the pastry in Duan Chengxuan's hand and sat on the soft couch. Her body tilted as she picked up a piece of pastry with her eyes shining brightly. She even spoke with a slightly angry tone, "You lied to me again."
"You lied to me first." His sharp gaze was like that of a falcon's as his bony hand supported by the side of Gu Pingyan's leg. His other hand lightly tapped the other party's chin, and even the sweet pastry in her mouth was eaten as well. However, the other party was as docile as a white rabbit, and after struggling for a bit, he leaned forward.
Duan Chengxuan's lower regions constricted, and he was actually slightly unable to control it.
However, the white rabbit in front of him seemed to have returned to its senses as it lightly closed its mouth, causing Duan Cheng Xuan to frown and release the man. However, she still had to restrain her anger and spoke while pressing her chin: "You're acting on your own too much, and you're increasingly disregarding yourself."
"Let's not talk about what you did in the dark. I don't believe that the empress dowager really wants me dead." Gu Daiyan leaned back, and he only thought that it was fortunate that Duan Chengxuan did not smell even the slightest bit of rust. It was all thanks to this Hundred Taste Tower's stars that filled the sky.
"It's just a few words, do you know about it again?"
"I did not promise you anything along the way. Don't you believe me?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Gu Pingyan, who had been feeling guilty, finally lost. He turned his head to the side and said, "That day, I did not know that they were using Qing Ze and Grandfather to make a deal. If I knew this would happen, I would not have gone to see Duan Feng alone."
"If everything were as you and I wished, then there wouldn't be what happened today." Duan Chengxuan could only withdraw his hand and stand up, then said in a low voice, "Do you have a way to cure the Gu poison in your body?"
"I don't have a way to break it yet, but this Yu Zhi isn't an ordinary person. She won't let me die so easily." Gu Danyan returned to his senses and looked at Duan Chengxuan with a rather assured expression.
Perhaps the others didn't know why Gu Danyan was so serious.
However, she knew that when Jade Ganoderma was powerful enough to have everything but nothing, compared to those young and immature children, she would fight for it more. She wanted to get to the bottom of this, to know the reason why she could be at ease with it, and not to mention that Jade Ganoderma's methods were not ordinary.
Otherwise, if it was anyone else who had placed the poison in her body, she would have died because of the two poisons.
"If that's the case, then we need to be of use to Duan Feng as well." Duan Cheng Xuan said.
"Is this part of your plan?" Gu Liu Yan raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction. Her fingertips were clenched tightly, and the powdered sugar fell on her dress. It was very eye-catching.
"I just want to avenge you." Duan Chengxuan had his back facing Gu Ming as he poured himself a cup of tea.
"You know?"
"You always say that your actions never have no purpose, but I do not know that the responsibility of treating the patient allows you to walk forward without a trace of confusion. However, the reason of revenge seems to be well-deserved." His gaze unconsciously fell upon the dark stains on the ground, then he said, "If Gu Cheng hadn't borrowed Jiang Yan to display her superiority and ambition, your mother wouldn't have married him. If it weren't for me and Su Yuwan treating you like that year, perhaps the circumstances today would have been completely different."
Gu Danyan held the pastries in his hand and said, "I've already put them down."
"Since that's the case, as long as you told Lai Xuan to kill off all of the new nation first, there would be no such thing as now. If you had killed Su Yuwan quickly, you wouldn't have pestered her so much today." Duan Chengxuan turned his head to the side, and his gaze was awe-inspiring as he watched Gu Pingyan continue to put the pastries into his mouth. He said, "You only hope to destroy their lifelong goal."
At this moment, Gu Liuyan finally looked at him with a smile: "So what?"
"If Su Yuwan wants to obtain a high position, I'll let her become a princess of a country. Gu Cheng wants this river and mountain as well as an endless life, so I'll give it to him." The killing intent that had been concealed in Gu Liuyan's eyes finally burst out. He even ignored Duan Chengxuan's slightly unsightly expression and said, "I only want these two to avenge my mother and children. I won't forget this grudge even if it hurts myself."
