C442 (1/2)
When Duan Chengrui found out that the two of them were trapped at the bottom of a gutter and had only delivered a single medicinal formula, he practically slapped the table and stood up on the spot, then angrily looked at the Vice Generals before him. ”Your majesty the Emperor possesses a body of gold, how can he take the risk?! How are you all looking at this! ”
A few people didn't dare to say anything because they were the King of War Gods, who would dare to stop him? Wouldn't that be seeking death?
”Your Highness, please calm your anger. We have already thrown the water sachets and eaten our food. In two days, we will send someone to bring the antidote.” Yue Qing who was at the side hurriedly came forward, afraid that the word ”Yun Chen” would come out of Duan Chengrui's mouth.
This was the first time the generals heard that Duan Chengrui would be angry as well, so they only shut their mouths and didn't dare speak.
After a while, Duan Chengrui calmed down and calmly settled the matter at hand. Only then did he sit down in a dejected manner. ”If her identity is exposed …”
”She's always been smart.” Yue Qing quickly comforted her.
At this time, it was already late. Gu Mingyan ate the two pancakes in large gulps and drank some water. She was also thankful that the bed in this shabby room hadn't collapsed yet.
Only when he saw Duan Chengxuan climb up, he was slightly stunned before finally reacting, ”Prince, I think it's better if I sleep on the floor.”
Duan Chengxuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and raised his hand to stop her from getting off the bed. ”There's no need. The night in the mountain ravine is cold, not to mention that we're both men. What's there to be afraid of?”
Gu Daiyan choked and thought for a while. Then, she gathered up the clothes on her body, since both of them had slept for a few years, there was no need to worry. She simply fell down, ignoring the so-called prince behind her, closing her eyes and preparing to sleep.
That night, the two of them had their backs facing each other and Duan Chengxuan covered them with his cloak.
Her nose was filled with the smell of Duan Chengxuan, and it was always difficult for Gu Danyan to fall asleep. She only fell into a deep sleep when Duan Chengxuan got up and left the room the next day.
When Duan Chengxuan returned with the food and water, he saw that she was completely unaware of his sleeping appearance, and had even used his cloak to wrap himself tightly. This made him think of Gu Daiyan, so he sat on the edge of the bed and drank some water, slightly lost in thought.
Gu Liuyan was so similar to Yun Chen that he felt that he couldn't control his own heart.
Whether it was the confrontation between Yun Chen and him in the imperial court, or the words he had spoken that day in Clear Sky Tower, or the feeling of being unwittingly exposed and being like Gu Ming Yan in the world, all these made him clench his teeth and scratch his lungs.
His mind drifted away, so the time he spent in a daze wasn't too bad.
When he finally realized that he didn't like men, Gu Danyan had already gotten up. She sat on the bed and started eating a big biscuit, and looked at him strangely: ”If you can't stay idle, why don't you come with me to see somewhere else?”
”What's so good about this place?” Duan Cheng Xuan gathered her thoughts and lightly coughed without any reason.
”When that time comes, we will naturally have to see the situation of this swamp.” Gu Danyan climbed down from the bed, rubbed his aching calves and wrists and said seriously: ”Besides, the way up the mountain might not be in the poison miasma. The senior from ten years ago probably didn't stay in the house for long, he should still have a place to stay.”
”What do you mean?” Duan Chengxuan held his saber as he followed behind her.
Yun Chen and Gu Liuyan were really similar. People couldn't help but listen to them.
”This room has been going on for more than ten years.” Gu Danyan shook his head and patted the bed, ”Besides, how do you think this bed came down? You can't just throw it off.”
Duan Chengxuan frowned. ”So there was someone here before.”
