”Gu Liuyan, even if you die, you still want to oppose me?”
Duan Chengxuan had never been so depressed before, and his usually ice-cold face had an extra look of worry.
When she was still alive, Duan Chengxuan didn't know how precious she was, but when there were only Gu Zixian and Su Yuwan by his side, he thought about Gu Danyan's frown and smile more and more. Even if he said a few words, it would still make him feel comfortable, even if the two of them were always at odds.
”A few days ago, we went to see the former wangfei's tombstone but were never touched by anyone. Back then, we also tested the former wangfei, and the words of someone who came back from the dead cannot be trusted.”
”If that's the case, then someone must have been playing tricks on us during this period of time. Let's see what it is about.”
Duan Chengxuan's face was gloomy as he looked through the secret letter in his hand. All he knew was that these past few days were all bad news, and he felt a headache coming on, ”Why does Gu Cheng feel that Yun Dian is still alive? He's actually still wantonly looking for him …”
When he heard these words, Cheng Shan paused in his steps. He then asked curiously, ”If that's the case, could it be that the ghost of the ex-princess is here? Could it be that Madam Yun is here to seek revenge?”
The two of them glanced at each other, and Duan Cheng Xuan felt that this situation made sense.
Back then, Yun Wan was a thorn in the heart of her father, and her coffin had come and went several times, perhaps it really wasn't dead yet. Furthermore, Yun Wan and Gu Daiyan were a mother and daughter, so it should be similar.
”Could it be that Gu Cheng thought that Yun Xiao had only survived because she had consumed the medicine on the secret formula?” Duan Chengxuan stood up and said with a cold expression, ”If that's the case, then I ought to have a good meeting with this Yun Chen. Perhaps he and Yun Qi are working together to lure Gu Cheng out. It doesn't matter if he comes out, but if Wan'er's matter is brought out, then it wouldn't be good …”
”At the very least, before Gu Cheng dies, we cannot let the Yun clan speak.”
As the sound of his voice faded, Duan Chengxuan strode out, ”Hundred Scent Tower.”
”Yes.” Cheng Shan understood.
An hour later, when Gu Mingyan recovered from her shock, she had already sat before Duan Chengxuan.
Cheng Er, who was behind her, pressed her down, but did not disturb anyone.
Seeing Duan Chengxuan's expression that was like water and his bad intentions, she maintained her previous scornful and disdainful attitude. He was thankful that he had taken the pill when he came out. With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, ”Duke Jing, for what reason are you being so friendly?”
”It wasn't easy for your Yun clan to escape the imperial court with Yan'Er's help, and now you're even serving the third prince. Do you really think this duke wouldn't dare to kill you?” Duan Chengxuan frowned slightly when he heard her voice. ”Don't pinch your throat.”
”I burned my throat with poisonous herbs when I was a child.” Gu Liuyan said this and helplessly pinched his throat. There was even something slightly protruding wrapped around it to make his adam's apple, and it was for the sake of showing Duan Chengxuan. ”Besides that, the reason I work for Third Prince is to take revenge for my sister.”
The word 'revenge' was like two sharp blades that pierced into Duan Chengxuan's heart.
”My sister didn't blame you when she was alive, nor did she blame you when she died. However, that doesn't mean that I, Yun Chen, can let you off!”
Gu Danyan immediately slammed the table and stood up. When he saw Duan Chengxuan's stupefied expression, he could be considered to have released his previous rage.
The atmosphere suddenly turned stiff. Cheng Er placed the blade in his hand on Gu Daiyan's shoulder and shouted in unison, ”Sit down.”
Gu Liuyan was not angry. Instead, he smiled: ”I am not as stingy as my sister. If you kill me now, the Third Prince will report you to the Emperor.”
”A mere commoner. Could it be that This King can't kill him?”
After the cup was crushed, Duan Chengxuan raised his head with a cold gaze, and killing intent abruptly appeared within his eyes.
