Rumors were flying all over Sky Flame City. They only said that Princess Aldan's character was improper and that she had messed up the imperial family's customs.
There were even some that claimed that Princess Er Dan was just like Lady Yun San all those years ago, a beauty that had been sent by the heavens to bring calamity upon himself. Just as Madam Yun said that a great disturbance had been caused by Lady Er Dan all those years ago, she also said that Princess Er Dan had come to contain the great waves so that he could reap the benefits from them.
The gossip was even more vivid than the words that the storyteller chanced to say.
Strangely enough, the normally arrogant and unyielding Jing Residence did not care about this matter. Even the refined and refined Third Prince seemed to have nothing to do with this matter as he moved back and forth between the streets.
At this time, Prince Jing's mansion was preparing for Dong Ri; there were only a few servants coming and going.
As for Duan Chengxuan, he hadn't tasted the feeling of having a beauty by his side for a long time. He simply sat below the study room alone and processed the documents, carefully reading and observing Gu Mingyan's movements, as if he could be at ease just by seeing Gu Danyan walk around.
”My prince, the ninth prince is here.” The butler walked in respectfully and carefully. No one knew where Chengshan had gone to.
”Bring him here and bring him some pastries.” Duan Chengxuan put the letter in his hand into the drawer without even raising his head, then he opened up the open document scroll.
When Duan Feng entered, she saw Duan Chengxuan seriously looking at the document, and his brows slightly twitched.
”Why have you come here today?” Duan Chengxuan's voice was icy cold, and he heard the footsteps of another two people, but he didn't raise his head from start to finish.
Duan Feng was dressed in brocade today, and the fragrance of her makeup only caused Duan Chengxuan to wrinkle the corners of her nose. Finally, she raised her head when Duan Ling Tian and the others sat down.
Only now did he see two women with light bodies following behind Duan Feng. Even though they were in the middle of winter, their shoulders were still half revealed and they didn't have the smell of dust on them. They looked more like the girls that Duan Feng had groomed himself.
”Royal Uncle, I haven't seen Imperial Aunt appear for a long time. I'm afraid it's not because I've been sick for a long time, but because she's lying on the bed.” I shall call this willow tree to wait upon us. ” Duan Ming smiled respectfully.
”This King does not like the name and appearance of this name.” Duan Chengxuan once again lowered his head. ”If you're doing this for the sake of rumors, then there's no need.”
”Since Imperial Uncle knows of the rumors outside, he doesn't care?” Duan Feng suddenly smiled and waved her hand. The willow tree obediently walked to the door and blew at the wind, showing no mercy to the fairer sex.
After the door closed, Duan Chengxuan put down the document in his hand. ”Yan'Er is not in Sky Flame, so these rumors can't hurt her. Why should I stop her?”
The moment she said this, Duan Feng felt that things weren't easy to deal with.
If Duan Chengxuan really had the heart to fight for power, then it would still be alright. But now it would seem that this Imperial Uncle was actually infatuated, and Gu Danyan was still far away from the emperor …
After thinking for a moment, Duan Feng cautiously opened her mouth. ”Then if she comes back and hears …”
”She naturally has a way to make those people shut up, and it's not up to me.” After leaving the Imperial Palace, Duan Chengxuan didn't even need to put on the appearance of an Imperial Uncle, and he looked at Duan Feng with a gloomy and cold gaze. ”Duan Feng, fight for your throne, don't come touch my things.”
There seemed to be people who could no longer remember his appearance.
Duan Feng's back tensed up, and the killing intent that Duan Chengxuan emitted caused his scalp to go numb, as she was practically unable to breathe.
”Yan'Er is here, I can't kill people as I wish.” Duan Chengxuan slowly stood up, and a slight sound came from behind him, stopping his words in his stomach.
Even Gu Daiyan didn't know that there were three three-bolt crossbow bolts on the wall under the Winter Cold Plum Blossom.
Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the movement of the wooden board beneath the carpet, but she couldn't see what was below the carpet.
