"Elder sister Zijin, don't be angry, I think it's better for her to not be a Princess of Jing."

"That's right, the Miss Wan Er by the Jing King's side looked weak and delicate, just like a willow that is close to the wind."

The several young ladies of the Shangguan family had already arrived at the high platform outside the hunting grounds. The place was covered by the harsh sunlight, so they naturally ate their snacks without a care in the world, but their gazes never left the high platform.

Gu Zijin saw a girl in plain clothes by Duan Chengxuan's side. It was the girl from before, on the day of their return home, he bought her. After all, she had previously loved Duke Jing for a few years, and now, she was still inferior to Gu Mingyan!

"That girl is the concubine of the Marquis. She's also a junior-apprentice sister, but he loves her dearly." The young lady of the Shangguan family beside her continued, not caring about the big issue.

"Enough!" Gu Zijin slapped the table and stood up, gritted her teeth as she looked at Su Yuwan, and then flicked her sleeves and left.

Su Yuwan had also noticed Gu Zijin's presence.

She got up from Duan Chengxuan's shoulder a little, and said hesitantly: "Elder Brother Xuan, you brought me here so openly, could it be..."

"Don't worry." Duan Chengxuan smiled lightly.

He originally didn't want to bring her down with him, but Su Yuwan had always wanted to go out and play, so he softened his heart and promised to bring her out for a look. He only said that Gu Mingyan leaving on her own had nothing to do with him, and even if the emperor or anyone else wanted to say anything, they would only blame Gu Mingyan for being disobedient.

Su Yuwan had a smile on her face at that time, and when she arrived she stuck close to him. On the way, she also thought of a way to push Gu Mingyan's horse carriage aside.

"Elder Brother Xuan, I want to go somewhere else to look." Su Yuwan tugged his sleeves.

Duan Chengxuan helplessly patted her head. If he was just staying here with her, the emperor would naturally not easily touch her, but if he acted too much, according to the emperor's plan for him, he would definitely think of all ways to peel Su Yuwan away from him.

Su Yuwan could only stand up in dejection and walk to the side.

Duan Chengxuan quickly ordered the embroidery guards to follow along and sent a few more people to protect them. After Su Yuwan left, he looked at his subordinates and asked: Where is Gu Mingyan? If the emperor doesn't see me together with her when he comes later, I'm afraid he's going to threaten to kick Wan Er out of the house again. "

"It seems that she is riding a horse. When the hour is almost up, Cheng Yichenger will call the Princess." The subordinate beside him said in a low voice, he knew the movements of the others like the back of his hand.

I heard that Assistant Minister of Revenue's son is here today as well. Yesterday, he went to Mu Qing's place, did Mu Qing take out the medicine to help him? Duan Chengxuan's face darkened.

"Doctor Mu Qing said that his poison was weak, but when he opened the medicine to treat it, he discovered that it was useless. The secret recipe that I brought over seems to have not been clarified, as long as the prescription that I gave Miss Wan Er can be used. "

Duan Chengxuan's eyes slightly narrowed, he did not expect that Gu Mingyan's abilities were not small. Looking at it this way, she might really be able to cure Wan Er's illness.

But if he didn't get rid of her, Wan Er wouldn't be able to get the title of wangfei.

"Cheng Shan, what do you think of Gu Mingyan, that she is useful to me?" Duan Chengxuan poured a cup of wine for himself.

"Princess Hua-Yang is indeed capable. Normally, she doesn't come into contact with other nobles, but it's worth it. But since you treated her like that before, I think you must have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart." Cheng Shan said in a low voice.

Duan Chengxuan's face darkened and thought of his previous actions.

He had also galloped and fought on the battlefield to protect his country and had tangled with the ministers in the imperial court. He had long piled Cheng Shan's life in his hands, so even when facing Gu Mingyan, he did not hold back.

Was he really that stubborn?

"Your highness, for a Wan Er, you are indeed too persistent." A young master dressed in a white robe walked over and sat down on a tall platform, "Do you remember that the reason why you are so unyielding is for the life of Wan Er, not to mention that the wangfei only loved you too miserably at that time, so you took her cardiac blood and used her to obtain the secret formula. Now that she has given you the secret formula, you shouldn't go torture her anymore right?"

"In that case, all of this is This King's problem." Duan Chengxuan put down his cup, but there was no anger on his face.

"The Prince is still as kind as before. As long as she doesn't hurt Wan Er, why must you treat her so cruelly?" The white robe man raised the fan in his hand but did not continue speaking with a stern face.

Duan Chengxuan sighed, he was probably being too harsh.

Su Yuwan left Duan Chengxuan's side and found Gu Zijin, who was drinking on a high platform by herself.

She had already walked over. Previously, she had heard that this Gu Zijin liked Duan Chengxuan, and furthermore, her relationship with her was not good, so she was a good target for her to rope in.

As she sat down, Gu Zijin glanced at her and sneered.

"My name is Su Yuwan, the prince always calls me Wan Er, I wonder if you could be called Big Sister Zijin?" Su Yuwan lifted the cup by her hand and smiled faintly.

"Up to you." Gu Zijin looked at her sideways, not knowing why she was here.

"Elder sister Zijin, Wan Er is actually here for a request." Su Yuwan coughed a few times, her eyes half-closed: "My body is getting weaker and weaker, but there is no one by Elder Brother Xuan's side, and Princess of Jing has a proud and arrogant personality.

"What do you mean?"

"I wonder if big sister Zhi Wu is willing to enter the palace. If I were to pass on in the future, you would be able to take good care of Elder Brother Xuan." Su Yuwan's eyes immediately reddened, and she coughed non-stop.

Seeing her dying look, Gu Zijin's heart moved: "You really want me to enter the Duke's Mansion?"

"Of course, Elder Brother Xuan listens to me the most." Su Yuwan raised her mouth.

Even if Gu Zijin were to enter the Duke Palaces, she would only be ignored by her Elder Brother Xuan and she would still be able to use Gu Zijin to deal with her. After all, she was patient and if she were to make a move herself she might be noticed by Duan Chengxuan.

Gu Zijin's eyes instantly lit up, but dimmed down: "It's just that, my father wants to marry me out, and I'm about to get betrothed."

"What a pity." Su Yuwan let out a long sigh as she stood up, intending to leave.

Seeing her coughing as she left, Gu Zijin didn't even need to think about it know this woman didn't have too long. If she entered the Duke Palaces then, she would have a way to pull Gu Mingyan down from the position of an imperial concubine!

Thus, she quickly stepped forward and pulled her back, "I will tell father to cancel the engagement, will Miss Wan Er really allow me to enter the Duke Palace!?"

Su Yuwan chuckled and hid all of her evilness in the depths of her eyes. She looked back at her: "Of course, I only need an opportunity."
