”Big Brother Xuan, I …”
Su Yuwan hurriedly put on her clothes. When she saw Duan Chengxuan's eagle-like gaze, she shrunk her neck and hurriedly climbed down from the bed. Her bare feet touched the ground as she lowered her head.
”Stay in your yard.” Duan Chengxuan turned around and left. ”Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in a dungeon.”
Su Yu Wan's body trembled. Thinking about the days she was locked up in the dungeon, she became even more afraid.
As he brushed past Su Yu Wan, there was no longer any warmth in Duan Cheng Xuan's eyes. All that was left was an icy coldness, as if allowing this mistake to happen was already a gift he had given to Su Yu Wan.
Hurriedly fleeing from Duan Chengxuan's room, Su Yu Wan's heart ached. She threw herself back onto the bed with bare feet. She wanted to tear the bed apart, so her hair was disheveled as she twisted the bed underneath her.
Now that she had fallen here, what other method could she have to obtain Duan Chengxuan's trust?
Originally, he had thought that tonight would be the perfect time for him to throw himself into Big Brother Xuan's arms. However, he hadn't expected that Gu Tianyan would shamelessly follow him back to his room!
On the other side, Duan Chengxuan was similarly upset. Cheng Shan brought over some simple food and said, ”Your highness, His Highness has already returned to the inn.”
”Should I just kill Su Yu Wan?” Duan Chengxuan picked up his chopsticks.
”Only Su Yuwan knows the truth behind what happened that year. If Mu Qing was the one who did all of this under her name, then Su Yuwan does not deserve to die.” Cheng Shan then continued, ”If Your Highness is dissatisfied with the past, you can make up for it. As long as Su Yu Wan remains alive, it will be considered as comforting to Master and Mistress.”
After hearing what Cheng Shan said, Duan Chengxuan's heart felt slightly better, and he could only ponder as he sent more pastries tomorrow.
The pastries for the next few days had been washed away, and they were sent back to Prince Jing's mansion untouched. Qing Qing had wanted to visit her several times, but she could only wait for Gu Danyan to gather at the restaurant at noon every day, maintaining a certain distance from the Jing King's mansion.
The day before the Autumn Hunt, Duan Chengxuan saw Gu Danyan again, but the latter had changed greatly.
Her silver bracelet made a crisp sound on her slender wrist, while her other hand was wrapped in an easily discernible thin cloth. When she arrived in front of the Emperor, she also gave a 'Er Dan' salute.
”May the waves last for thousands of years, and may their friendship and friendship last for hundreds of generations.”
Gu Danyan stood under the throne, every word of his was spoken powerfully.
Duan Cong was elated. Laughing loudly, she sent people to collect the items that Er Dan sent over, then she received the envoys. Gu Qing Yan's gaze fell on the two young men sitting next to the Third Prince.
One of them should be an adult Ninth Prince. According to the rumors, the Ninth Prince had a natural talent, in just a few years, he had grown up to be the elegant young man he was today, smiling like a tiger, but used his mother's family's reputation to suppress Meng Xu and other court officials. A few months ago, his mother had passed away due to illness, and he had adopted the Empress as his mother.
In this way, the only people who were still able to snatch the throne in the imperial court were the Sixth and Ninth Prince.
Just as she was indulging in her fantasies, her father-in-law brought her a bowl of chicken soup and whispered, ”This was ordered by His Highness the Duke of Jing. His Highness doesn't look too good, but do you need anything else?”
”I'll have to trouble eunuch to thank Your Highness for me.” Gu Danyan lifted her hand to push away the slightly oily chicken soup. The pungent smell of the medicine had yet to dissipate, and it had added a lot of smell of makeup. She could not bear such a strong smell, not to mention the fact that she had not eaten any meat for several days.
