Duan Chengxuan accompanied Gu Zixian to his side, and after passing through the imperial court, he returned to the side hall in his court uniform.

Gu Zixian was pregnant and had yet to wake up from his bed. Duan Chengxuan's expression was gloomy, but no matter what, he could not bear to see Gu Zixian like this. Gu Zixian was even weaker than Wan'er, and his tiny wounds had to be spoiled.

Arriving alone under the roof, he did not expect that the spring rain would fall on him and that he would be busy in the palace.

Chengshan stopped by his side and whispered, ”Yun Qingyang has passed away. The person in charge of Ling Nan Yun's family is a widow. Everyone calls her Widow Zhu. We've tried many times to find loopholes, and the Widow Zhu has always responded.”

”How much time has passed and you have not managed to obtain any benefits from the Yun clan?” He did not find the person who poisoned Su Yu Wan, and he didn't think that it was really Gu Daiyan's actions. However, in the end, he did not trust Gu Xuan Yan's so-called prescription, ”Wan'er's body is gradually weakening. If you don't get the Yun Family's prescription again …”

”This subordinate is incompetent, but this subordinate will be bold to say it. Is there really a problem with the wangfei's prescription?”

”If there wasn't a problem, how could Wan-Er have been poisoned?!” Later on, the genius doctor said that the poison should have been minute and subtle, and if Gu Mingyan hadn't activated it, it wouldn't have come menacingly. ” Duan Chengxuan's words were resolute and decisive.

In the end, this matter still included Gu Daiyan.

Therefore, when he had forced her to become pregnant, he had indeed carried a trace of anger with him. He hated that Gu Danyan was so jealous that even the weak Wan'er could do such a vicious thing.

Cheng Shan did not dare to continue, and could only helplessly say.

”Forget it, do you have any news of Qingze?”

”The Yun family has protected him well. Now, with the help of the Old Devil Bai from the martial arts world, they have even won over many martial arts forces for their own use. It seems like they are prepared for all forces.” Cheng Shan continued, ”As for Young Master Qing, I've never seen him before. I've only heard of the Widow Zhu.”

”The Yun clan has existed for hundreds of years, yet they're so vigilant. It's quite a rare sight.”

Standing with his hands behind his back, the dark intent in Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes became even deeper.

If it was for Wan-Er, he would make a hole for her even if it was just a wall of steel.

”Send someone to monitor the movements of the Yun clan. When the time is ripe, this king will personally ask the Yun clan to hand over the secret recipe.” Duan Cheng Xuan waved his hand and the ghosts on the roof were concealed. Cheng Shan hurriedly retreated to Duan Cheng Xuan's side when he heard the faint sounds of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

A few palace maids entered through the door. Senior Servant Gui slowly walked in and stood in front of Duan Chengxuan to pay her respects. ”Your Highness, the Heavenly Queen has already woken up. He requests you to bring along the princess consort.”

”Senior Servant Gui, may I trouble you to tell Imperial Mother that I'll bring Zixu over in a moment.” Duan Chengxuan cupped his hands slightly. He was extremely respectful towards this Senior Servant Gui, who had doted on him since he was young.

After sending someone to wake Gu Zixian up, the two of them slowly walked towards the empress dowager's sleeping quarters.

”Prince, I heard that the empress dowager doesn't like harem women, and even less so the imperial concubine. Why is it that today …”

”Because of the princess consort.”

The warning in his eyes, however, still made Gu Zixian shut his mouth.

The palace was a place with walls and ears, and words flew with the wind. If the empress dowager were to know that Gu Zixian had described her like this, she would definitely be furious.
