Su Yuwan's body stiffened. Her mind was in a mess.

She could only pretend that her body wasn't feeling well as she returned to her room alone and called Mu Qing over as well. When Mu Qing saw that Su Yu Wan had already recovered her cold-blooded look, he then said softly, "It was the people from Mirage Nexus who suddenly made a move. Commander Xiao wanted the prince to rope in the princess for his own use so he could change his view of the princess."

"What a good Xiao Hai, he normally doesn't like me and always opposes me. He almost found out that I was pretending to be sick several times before, and now he wants to go with big brother Xuan and that slut. He's really a thorn in my eye, a thorn in the flesh!" Su Yu Wan bit her lower lip tightly as she felt discontent in her heart.

Xiao Hai had always been an upright and honest person and was also a friend of Duan Chengxuan. But he had some complaints towards her, and thought that she didn't know what Duan Chengxuan was for, nor did she know what was important for him.

"However, the princess doesn't have long to live. If the two poisons in her body don't dispel within two years, she will definitely die." Mu Qing continued.

"Then we can't let her off easily within the next two years. She is a descendant of the Yun Family, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, and I have nothing. Now that I've finally managed to climb up the mirage, I must rope her in." Su Yuwan's eyes turned cold.

As long as she had her own power, even if there was a day when she wasn't feigning illness, she would still be able to openly stand by Duan Chengxuan's side. Once he ascended to the throne, she would be able to stand by his side justifiably.

"If I can win over the fourth prince, the king will definitely be happy." Mu Qing felt a sense of loss when he saw her expression.

"You're right, but the fourth prince is currently in Gu Danyan's courtyard …" Looks like it's time for me to tell Big Brother Xuan about Gu Zixian's matter. " Su Yuwan's gaze turned cold. She looked through the window and saw Duan Chengxuan standing by the door from afar. In an instant, her heart softened.

Meanwhile, in the medicine house, Duan Chengyu, who Su Yu Wan had set her eyes on, just sat in the courtyard. Qi Lin had already entered the pharmacy to help, but Gu Daiyan was still the same heartless person as if she was not the one who just walked out of hell.

Two attendants landed on the roof and whispered, "Su Yu Wan is secretly investigating your whereabouts and has been going on for a few days now."

Duan Chengyu's heart thumped, and he clenched his fist. "Could it be, what happened earlier was really done by Imperial Uncle?"

"This subordinate does not dare to say for sure. It's just that the person who was in contact with the Prince's Mansion just now reported that Su Yuwan is currently discussing with the Prince to send you back to the Prince's Mansion. Su Yuwan seems to be very dissatisfied with your residence." The servant continued speaking. From a distance, he seemed to have seen Gu Mingyan walking over, so he shut his mouth.

Duan Chengyu still didn't want to suspect Duan Chengxuan, while Gu Danyan had already carried her food box to his side and sat down. She glanced at the two servants kneeling on the ground and asked in confusion, "Is there something important?"

"It's nothing, just that third brother asked me to meet him at the restaurant in a few days' time." Duan Chengyu waved his hand and let the few of them leave before turning to look at Gu Danyan. The wound on Gu Liuyan's neck was still as eye-piercing as before, and he couldn't help but frown: "Since Imperial Uncle treated you like that, why are you still following him around?"

"I promised him I would save his face, and I kept my promise. It's his problem if he doesn't keep his promises, but I can't be a woman who goes back on her word. " Gu Danyan sighed and opened the box, taking out all the food for herself. She said helplessly: "I will die in two years. How dare you kick me out?"

"I was worried about you. You were just rescued by Mu Qing, how come you entered the pharmacy looking like you're a busy woman? Even I'm looking at you with concern." Duan Chengyu helplessly helped her set up the dishes.

It had only been a few days since he had arrived at the medicine house, but he had already learned how to prepare his own dishes.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Gu Danyan playfully raised her eyelids at him.

"What is it? You still have lies? "

"The truth is, this mirage's poison has faintly neutralized the poison in my body before. Although the effect is minimal, it's still a breakthrough. And the lie is that I am afraid of death and that I want to seize every moment to cure the poison. " Gu Danyan chuckled.

Duan Chengyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "But Doctor Mu Qing didn't say that just now."

"I purposely ate the poison to hide it from him." Gu Danyan tossed a small pill from her sleeve into Duan Chengyu's hands: "It was mixed with the poisoned grass and poison fruit juice from the mountain earlier, so if you don't understand it within six hours, I will die."

Ye Zichen looked at Gu Danyan in disbelief.

At this moment, Gu Danyan's gaze had already turned completely cold. She smiled: "Mu Qing is one of his men. As long as they know that I'm a dying woman, they won't kill me."

"Royal Uncle isn't that kind of person." Duan Chengyu didn't believe it.

"He is not a cunning man, but he always makes trouble for me. That Lady Wan-Er thinks I am a thorn in her side. I have to be careful." She helplessly shook her head and used a clean handkerchief to wipe the hand that held the poison. Then, she wiped Duan Chengyu before taking the chopsticks to eat.

Su Yu Wan again?

Picking up the bowl and chopsticks, Duan Chengyu had his own thoughts. Su Yu Wan had sent someone to follow him and he didn't know if Imperial Uncle knew or not, but he could confirm that Gu Danyan and Duan Cheng Xuan were definitely not of the same mind.

"That's right. You must not tell your uncle. Just treat it as me saving your life. You saved my life." Only now did Gu Daiyan recall that the person before him was Duan Chengxuan's nephew.

Helplessly looking at her, Duan Chengyu could only agree. Now that he knew Gu Danyan was fine, he felt at ease.

The next morning, Gu Daiyan was still sleeping when she heard noises coming from the door.

She struggled out of bed because she was still unconscious when she woke up due to the poison. However, she still took out a coat and walked outside, her hair in a mess.

It was just that there were two more people in the house, Duan Chengxuan and Su Yu Wan.

As soon as she saw Duan Chengxuan, her spirit tensed up. She leaned against the doorframe and yawned. "It's so early. What business do you have with Lady Wan'er?"

Seeing that Gu Danyan was even carelessly rubbing her messy hair, Su Yu Wan revealed a disgusted expression. Duan Cheng Xuan wanted to get angry, but thinking about what had happened yesterday, if he didn't have a clear understanding of his people, Gu Danyan wouldn't be dying soon, so he had no choice but to endure.

"Sister Gu, are you alright?" Su Yuwan immediately came over with a smile.

Gu Danyan quickly took a step back and waved her hands: "Lady Wan'Er, it would be bad if I, the person who is going to die, spread the poison to you. I still remember how I was kicked out."

She returned to Duan Cheng Xuan's side and stammered, "Previously, it was all my fault that my body was weak and caused Sister Gu to move out. Today, Wan'er came to invite Big Sister and the Fourth Prince to return to the residence together. It's not proper for you to stay here."
