Along the way back to the medicine house, Qing Di only lit some Calm Incense before Gu Pingyan fell asleep. He took off his veil and wore a black and blue eye under his makeup. The swelling on his face had not completely disappeared.
”What the hell is going on?” Duan Cheng Xuan stood outside the door with her hands behind her back and had a gloomy expression.
”Princess can't give up on her former child. She misses it day and night, and there are often people poking at her sore spot. After a long time, she won't be able to forget about it, and she won't be able to sleep at night either.”
”So she used a knife to kill me?” Duan Chengxuan remembered it clearly. Gu Liuyan had said at that time that the lotus seed soup was a medical knife and could not see the killing blood, yet today …
”That won't happen. It's just that yesterday, the wangfei came back to say that the empress dowager doesn't seem to like her. She's very disappointed.” ”When the wangfei learned of the death of her grandfather, she looked calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with regret. She originally wanted to show more respect and respect to the empress dowager, but the empress dowager seemed to believe what the prince had said and seemed to be disgusted with her. She didn't sleep last night.”
It really gave him a headache.
Gu Mingyan must have misunderstood when the empress dowager reprimanded him.
Before she could react, the young woman beside her had already knelt down, tears streaming down her face. ”Please be magnanimous, and spare my young lady. Although she does as she pleases, her heart is full of holes. As long as you don't write anything, my young lady will be free.”
Looking at the servant-maid kneeling on the ground, it wasn't as if Duan Chengxuan didn't want her to use a letter of rest to drive her out of the prince's estate.
Unfortunately, his mind was filled with Gu Meiyan's figure: ”Have Chengshan send all the official documents here.”
Duan Chengxuan ignored the pleading gaze of Qing Dai and returned to his room. He sat by the side of the desk and couldn't help but take an extra look at Gu Danyan who was lying on the bed as he slightly frowned.
Didn't you always want a child?
Gu Liuyan woke up in the heat. Her firm chest was pressed tightly against her own chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
She was very familiar with the calluses on her large hands as they wandered around the place. She vaguely rejected Duan Chengxuan, then half propped herself up as she quickly pulled up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. Her legs lightly trembled as she said, ”Go away.”
”I'll stay with you.” Duan Chengxuan's voice was still slightly hoarse.
Gently placing Gu Danyan's hand into his own, Duan Chengxuan saw that Gu Danyan didn't show any signs of resisting and only slowly moved his body closer. He carefully kissed the tears that were rolling down the corners of Gu Danyan's eyes, and then completely kneaded her into his embrace as if she were a precious treasure.
It was a chaotic scene.
When the heat dissipated and the people beside her fell asleep, Gu Danyan put on a coat and dragged his exhausted body out of the small room. When he arrived outside the door, Qin Guan suddenly opened his eyes as he looked at her with his bright eyes: ”Miss.”
”Come out with me.” A faint smile appeared on Gu Danyan's face.
”Alright, I'll go get you something thicker.” Qing Dai rubbed her hands together, wrapping Gu Daiyan tightly within. Then, she lifted the lantern and followed behind her.
Walking on Sky Flame Street during the night, Gu Mingyan tidied up her clothes and brought Qing Dai to the unrenovated inn.
Yin Gou hadn't slept for the entire night. When he saw the red mark on Gu Pingyan's neck, his eyes flashed with pain: ”Miss, it looks like you've succeeded.”
