Mu Qing's courtyard was quite close to Su Yu Wan's.

Mu Qing hurriedly put on a coat and pushed open the door. He thought that it would be Su Yu Wan, but found out that it was Gu Liu Yan. Before he had even spoken, Gu Xuan Yan had already barged in and passed him a list.

"The poison is acting up." Mu Qing said resolutely. He lit the candle and looked at the medicinal plant on the paper, then quickly grabbed it for her. He wanted to personally smash it for her, but Gu Liuyan grabbed him with a pale face and threw him into the hot water with a gentle push. She sat on a small stool and fanned herself to light the fire.

Mu Qing lifted his sleeves as he walked up to her and checked her pulse. He then furrowed his brows as he asked, "Why is the poison in your body so intense all of a sudden?"

"I only broke my body recently because of the mediation medicine. I should rest well for a few days. If it wasn't for the empress today …" She clutched at her chest and began to cough violently. She pulled open her collar and took a look at the imprint below her collarbone, but it had not changed.

"You will die after testing the medicine many times. Why don't you make a pill and take it? It will take a few hours for you to boil it." Mu Qing stood to the side. In the end, he was still a doctor, so it was too shameful.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I know my limits." Gu Danyan revealed a pitiful smile.

If she wasn't in a hurry to cure the poison, she wouldn't have chosen to test the poison multiple times over the past few days. She wanted to lie down for a while after testing the poison, but unfortunately, it rained during the night.

At the beginning of the morning, Duan Chengxuan was preparing to go to court in the morning, and Cheng Yi would come to his side to inform him of Gu Ming's smoke and poison attack last night.

"There's actually such a thing?" How is she? " Duan Chengxuan spread out his hands, and the two servant girls helped him put on his clothes.

"We are still brewing medicine right now, but Doctor Mu Qing said that after many attempts, no one will die. Cheng Er and I do not dare to dissuade him, so we ask for your orders." Cheng Yi still remembered the medicine and tonic that the wangfei had sent over, and felt a bit grateful to her.

When Duan Chengxuan saw that he was being roped in by Gu Pingyan so quickly, he only sneered: "If she's dead, then Wan'er's life won't be able to be cured, so there's no need for her to worry. Step by step, if she dies, then this duke will definitely wipe out the Gu Clan as well."

Cheng Yi shivered as he responded and left in a hurry.

At daybreak, Su Yu Wan slowly woke up. The servant girl beside her told her what happened last night, "Moreover, Doctor Mu Qing seems to be quite concerned about her."

"Is that true?" Su Yu Wan lazily sat up: "I want to go and see what exactly this Gu Mingyan wants to do."

"Yes." Su Yu Wan knew that the empress had come yesterday, so no matter what, Duan Chengxuan had to go to the imperial court today. Thus, he took out the luxurious clothes that he normally didn't wear and leisurely walked to Mu Qing's courtyard.

Gu Daiyan looked exhausted. He was just about to take the last mouthful of the soup.

"Why is Sister Gu also drinking medicine?" Su Yuwan slowly walked over. Her steps were small, but even more delicate.

"Of course it is because she is poisoned. Lady Wan-Er's body is weak, so she should not go near me, who is poisoned." Gu Mingyan turned her head to the side and smiled. She raised her hand to mash all the herbs on the table. Then, she filled the jade bottle with the juice and started on the next one.

As soon as he took a few steps forward, Mu Qing came rushing out from the back room. Su Yu Wan's expression immediately darkened, but she still spoke delicately: "Mu Qing, since Sister Gu came here last night, you should look for another courtyard."

Mu Qing knew that Su Yuwan was angry, so he could only clasp his hands and say, "Lady Wan'er, you must be joking. There are guards from the mansion nearby, Mu Qing doesn't dare to be excessive."

"But if word of this gets out, Crown Princess Jing's reputation will …"

"Lady Wan-Er, you worry too much." Gu Liuyan put away the jade bottle and walked forward with a sweet smile: "I have been kicked out of the Palace, how could I not have a good reputation? Thank you very much, Doctor Mu Qing. Thank you in the future, I will take my leave first."

Gu Danyan was too lazy to argue with them. He was very tired, so he hurried outside.

At the entrance of the prince's mansion, Duan Chengxuan was riding a horse as he returned. As they looked at each other, Gu Liuyan revealed a heartless smile as she slowly walked to the other side, while Duan Chengxuan spurred his horse to follow her. "In a few days, the Emperor will bring the princes and princes to hunt as well. You will go with me."

"I can't shoot an arrow or ride a horse, so it's unnecessary to go." Gu Liuyan raised his head and looked at him.

"But if you don't go, I will make a move on Wan-Er." Duan Chengxuan looked at him coldly as his jaw tensed. "Since I gave you the position of wangfei, then as a price, you have to shield Wan'er from wind and rain."

The Emperor treated his little brother extremely well. He had already disliked someone as powerless as Su Yu Wan marrying him, so he was afraid that Su Yu Wan would drag Duan Cheng Xuan down, and even assassinate Su Yu Wan quite a few times.

Gu Daiyan's heart sank into the pond.

So all of this was for Su Yuwan, but she felt pity. Duan Chengxuan still did not know that he was being kept in the dark by his loved ones and had even given his all for her as usual. A pitiful person truly must have something to hate.

The sky suddenly darkened. Gu Pingyan raised his eyebrows and looked back at him: "I still have the guts to be a scapegoat."

She wasn't Su Yu Wan. She only knew how to rely on feigning sickness to hold men back.

Now that the Prime Minister's estate didn't like her and the Yun clan's grandfather still wanted to give her experience, if it was only the Yun clan that would be used by her, then Duan Chengxuan only knew how to use her. There was already no place for her in this world, but as long as she was alive for one day, she would be able to travel the world with a set of medical skills!

This woman seemed to never submit to him, nor did she fear death.

She shouldn't have stayed in Sky Flame City to begin with. This thought abruptly smashed towards Duan Chengxuan.

Duan Chengxuan himself didn't notice that he had already stopped moving and revealed a gentle expression when the steward arrived. Only when the steward arrived did he alight from his horse and walk into the estate.

A light drizzle fell down, Gu Chuanyan made his way through the flustered crowd, silently swearing to himself.

Since the heavens had given her the chance to replace Gu Daiyan, she wanted to make her own world.
