The white pigeon flapped its wings and disappeared.

Gu Liuyan was lying by the window, a snow-white robe draped over her shoulders as she stared at the ghosts.

The ghost closed the door and slowly walked in front of Gu Daiyan as if he didn't see the pigeon. He lowered his head and looked at her: ”If I stop you, you won't want me anymore, right?”

”Yes.” Gu Liuyan nodded. She took out an iron bell from her pocket and handed it to ghost: ”I've already removed the poison from it. You can bring it to the Yun clan anytime you want.”

The iron bell in his hand was very cold, but the patterns on it were like branding iron on a ghost's palm.

Phantom looked at her helplessly. ”Aren't you afraid that I'll be married and have children for the rest of my life?”

”Then let's just run. I'm fine by myself.” Gu Danyan shrugged helplessly: ”That's your choice. Since you've chosen me, you can't run away in the future.”

”I'll tell the prince when I get back.”

”Then I'll kill you.” Gu Liuyan narrowed her eyes and looked at him. In the end, she lazily got up from the window, straightened her body and looked at the ghost. She then looked at the horizon: ”Do you know who I'm delivering this letter to?”

”I don't know.” Phantom shook his head obediently.

”Third Prince.” The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth twitched as she smiled and said, ”I've made this matter clear. If he can't even solve this small problem for the commoners, then I'll have to find a better partner in the future.”

He opened his eyes wide again and looked at Gu Danyan in disbelief.

He was always by Gu Danyan's side and knew nothing about it, and even Duan Chengxuan didn't know about this.

For five full days, Qi Yanbai didn't find any trace of those people. He only found the strange mountain god's wooden sculpture at the top of the mountain.

Today, the empress dowager's carriage arrived late, causing everyone in the Yue Shan City to stick their heads out to look. However, they were still very cautious. Duan Chengxuan rode on his black horse as he followed the carriage into the city.

The empress dowager lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, ”Why aren't you going to see your princess?”

”Yes, Imperial Mother.” Duan Chengxuan cupped his hands slightly, then spurred his horse towards the courtyard house.

Yue Shan city was an important military location that he personally trained. Qi Yanbai and the other officials were all carefully selected by him, and they secretly formed a huge force here. The real commoners were basically the families of the soldiers, so everything was in order.

When he arrived at the front of the yard, Gu Tinyan was sitting on the steps with a large wooden chest in her arms. She was wearing a light yellow robe and her face was covered.

Their gazes met, and Duan Chengxuan confidently dismounted from his horse. He walked up to her and asked, ”Who are you waiting for at the door?”

”Waiting for you.” With that said, Gu Liuyan put the heavy wooden chest into his arms and continued: ”The Mirage appeared again. There are two medicine pillows and some herbs in here. You should bring them back to Su Yuwan for her use. Don't let her get poisoned for no reason.”

Finally, Gu Liuyan put on the hat and went back to call out the ghosts.

Ghost respectfully saluted him, as if he wanted to stand by Duan Chengxuan's side. Gu Danyan tugged on his sleeve and said, ”You're now mine.”

Ghost glanced at Duan Chengxuan with a troubled expression.
