After the acupuncture was done, Gu Daiyan was already sweating profusely.

The Emperor had already gone to take care of this matter, and Duan Chengxuan placed Duan Chengyu back on the bed. His expression instantly eased up, but he still looked slightly exhausted, but he laughed heartily. ”Royal Uncle, isn't it great that you're marrying a wangfei? Help me find one in the future as well.”

With these words, both of them froze in place.

Duan Chengxuan had a cold and speechless expression, but Gu Pingyan lightly coughed a few times. ”You speak so lightly. It's rare to see such an outstanding girl like me.”

”I don't believe it.” Duan Chengyu laughed a few times, then pulled his wound again, but he was still smiling happily.

After patting him on the arm, he sat down on a chair to the side, then wrote down a prescription on a piece of paper and passed it to Duan Chenxuan. ”The first three days, two sets per day, one for each day, one for each morning and one for the next seven days, one set per day before breakfast.”

After handing over the list to Xiao Hai who was outside the tent, Duan Chengxuan walked in and saw that Gu Daiyan had already taken out a medical book. She seemed to have read it seriously and didn't care about his arrival.

Duan Cheng Xuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still left the tent and spoke to Cheng Shan who was beside him. ”Protect Yu'er and the wangfei well.”

”Yes.” Cheng Shan nodded seriously.

After a while, Yin Qiufu was unable to find Gu Danyan on the high platform, so he could only bring his food box to the tent. Duan Chengyu was already asleep, so Gu Daiyan ate two mouthfuls of the food and stood guard outside the tent.

When night fell, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and Cheng Er lit a candle for her.

Gu Daiyan, on the other hand, finished reading the medical books that he had brought with him. He saw that Duan Chengyu had already sat up and placed a small table, and had already prepared some light dishes according to her orders. As the chopsticks in his hand were a bit unsteady, Gu Daiyan simply took them: ”I'll feed you which one you want to eat.”

”This isn't good.” Duan Chengyu looked at her awkwardly.

”It's fine, your hand is injured, it's nothing.” She raised her hand to feed him.

After finishing the meal, his face flushed red. Meanwhile, Gu Daiyan continued to pack up the empty plates before sitting down and asking, ”The Emperor said that this expedition was to sacrifice the heavens. Why is that so?”

Previously, it wasn't just raining heavily, but the nearby villages and small towns all had a lot of problems. Not to mention the harvest of the spring harvest, it's a tradition to hunt down the most prey and sacrifice it to the heavens. As Duan Chengyu spoke, he stuffed the leftover pastries that Gu Daiyan had brought into his mouth.

Although she liked the pastries, she still turned a blind eye to them. However, when she went out to take a look, only the patrolling people were left, she looked at the crude tent again and asked Duan Chengyu: ”Why didn't they send you to the courtyard and put you in this tent? It wouldn't be good if you got wet at night.”

”There are too many people talking in the courtyard. Uncle Huang should think this place is relatively safe. What do you want to do?” Duan Chengyu's eyes opened wide as he watched her pick up the heavy skirt and carefully walk outside.

”I still want to try riding a horse, and I just noticed that there's a stream near the paddock. I want to go.” As she spoke, she had already scuttled out, and Duan Chengyu was flustered as he called for people to follow her.

The old coachman was currently feeding the horses some fodder. From afar, he saw Gu Mingyan running over with a small lantern in her hand and a few other people behind her. He hurriedly said, ”Princess Jing, it's already so late, what's the matter?”
