C709 (1/2)
”The dead leaves outside the window are about to fall. There's nothing to see.”
As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan lifted his hand to pull down the carriage curtain, and he held Gu Danyan's hand in his own.
The latter glared at him in dissatisfaction. ”When the waterway is bumpy and bumpy, the wind outside is bone-piercing. Am I not allowed to blow even the slightest amount of autumn wind now?”
”You will reach Sky Flame after walking a couple of kilometers. What will you do if someone sees you?” Duan Chengxuan reprimanded her a few times, then he thought about whether he had been too doting these past few days and made Gu Danyan act in such an unbridled manner.
With reason and evidence in mind, Gu Danyan slowed down and asked: ”Once we return to Sky Flame City, you will no longer be a stranger to me.”
”I trust you, but I don't trust Duan Chengrui.”
”Even if you don't believe me, we all have our own things to do.” Gu Danyan raised his hand and crawled along Duan Cheng Xuan's neck towards his cheek. He fiercely pinched his slightly rough skin and said with slight dissatisfaction, ”I'll go solve the eternal problems. You go solve the matters of the imperial court and the military. Do you understand?”
His face pinched to the point it hurt, but Duan Cheng Xuan only dared to take in a breath of cold air. He said in a low voice, ”The poison in your body.”
”Then go find Mu Qing. Since Mu Qing is able to carefully hide this poison in my fake death medicine, then he should have a way to detoxify it. Even if he doesn't have a way to detoxify it, shouldn't I be able to obtain something from Duan Chengrui, or head over to old mister He's place?” Gu Danyan spoke very fast, but his action wasn't fast.
When he let go, it even made a slight sound.
The person before him had already pounced into his embrace. When he had just pulled the person into his embrace, Gu Daiyan had already pulled off his clothes and fiercely bit down on his shoulder.
It was so painful that he sucked in a breath of cold air. Duan Chengxuan only had a sullen expression on his face as he lightly slapped the back of her head. ”Only dogs can bite people.”
Gu Xuan Yan suddenly let out a sigh of relief. She wiped the dark redness from her mouth, tilted her head, and sneered: ”What if I don't leave something behind and get someone to snatch you back to be the Emperor?”
”If I really become the Emperor, then your bite mark won't be enough.” Duan Chengxuan tilted his head to the side and glanced over. He noticed that Gu Liuyan really hadn't restrained herself in the slightest and had only grabbed the medicine bottle to apply the medicine.
Listening to the sound of the medicine box opening, Gu Mingyan said expressionlessly, ”When the time comes, you can say that I want to kill the main character and push me to the entrance of the vegetable market to be cut down.”
Duan Chengxuan's actions froze.
Gu Danyan's next words came: ”Whether or not you have other intentions, I will not allow my child's father to meddle with other women. Of course, unless you kill me first, or I kill you first.”
Perhaps this was Gu Tinyan's alternative confession.
As Duan Chengxuan thought like this, he thought for a moment before putting the medicine bottle down. ”Since that's the case, then remember to contact me.”
”The same goes for you.” The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth raised. The warmth on her face didn't make her avoid it, but instead, she carefully went forward to greet it.
The city gates of Sky Flame City were very close, and the guards at the gates were astonished when they saw the medallion of the Jing King. Not only did they allow the carriage in, they even sent someone to deliver a message to the palace.
Duan Chengxuan wrapped Gu Daiyan in a dark blue cloak and said in a low voice, ”Dark blue. It's a color that can only be used by the imperial clan.”
