The second snowfall of the Sky Flame was four days later.

The entire Sky Flame was covered in silver. Besides the homeless beggars and the nobles who had just returned from the city, there was not a single trace of human life. There were only gossip and gossip that quietly spread around.

During the new year, even Gu Zixian of the estate had to return to attend the banquet with his wife in a state of discomfort.

Gu Liuyan sat by the window of Phoenix Cry Garden, but she could only slightly open the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Countless servants and maids guarded her, not allowing her to hurt herself in the slightest. Before the frostbite on her body had fully healed, she was sent to the medicine house by Duan Chengxuan, afraid that Qing Dai would help Gu Zuoyan do something that would hurt herself or anyone else.

"I just want some hot soup noodles." Gu Liuyan's eyes had already recovered completely. She only stared coldly at the servant girl in front of her.

"Wangfei, you're really picky." The girl gave a cold snort. She didn't have the slightest bit of respect for her. "You don't have a son of the Prince anymore. If you don't eat more and get sick, we will be the ones punished."

A timid servant girl pulled her along. "Princess, we'll go prepare them."

Gu Danyan stopped talking. Being surrounded by these servants and maidservants was no different from being wrapped by the sea.

Holding the warm water in his hand, he rubbed the cup of water with his fingers over and over again. His nose was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine.

How should she fight back? What could she do to make Su Yu Wan lose everything?

"Princess, tomorrow will be the new year. If you have any wishes, I can go prepare some things for you." Only a very young maid came up to him and asked with a smile, "The Prince said you are not in a good condition and wanted us to take care of you. It's just that this servant is young, if you don't ask, I don't know what to prepare."

It was unknown if it was because he had lost his child that his maternal instincts were so overflowing.

Gu Danyan's gaze softened a lot as she looked at her with only half of her face propped up: "How do you usually celebrate New Year?"

"Before this servant entered the mansion, she had a poor personality. All three of my brothers could eat broth, and this servant could only eat a hearty meal. I don't know how to spend the new year." The young maid looked to be only 13 or 14 years old. Despite her hardships, she still had a smile on her face as she said, "I just entered the mansion three months ago and washed my clothes for three months before coming to serve Master."

"Xiao Liang, how are you going to talk to the wangfei like this!" An older servant girl behind her suddenly pulled her.

The maidservant who was called Xiao Liang fell to the ground. It was only after she had been kicked that she lowered her eyes.

"Let her eat with me." Gu Danyan waved at her, and Xiao Liang got up with a smile, holding her hand and sitting down.

The servant girl at the side wanted to say that it would be against the rules, but Gu Daiyan shoved the pastries on the table into her hands: "Eat."

This pastry covered their mouths, while Xiao Liang started to eat happily, praising that Ming Yan was truly a good person.

"In the future, let Xiao Liang accompany me." Gu Daiyan looked at her gently.

Xiao Liang looked like an innocent little girl. It was rare for him to see her with the purest of good intentions.

She shared half a bowl of hot soup noodles, and for the first time, she endlessly talked about how she was going to spend her first New Year's Eve. In any case, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't accompany her, so this night belonged to her.

Thus, when Duan Chengxuan returned with Gu Zixian, he was outside the courtyard listening to the laughter and cheers from the crowd.

Gu Zixian was extremely exhausted, and he could only carefully walk on the snowy ground as he glanced helplessly at Duan Cheng Xuan. "Looks like my mood is much better, why don't you allow me to accompany you …."

"To the main courtyard." Duan Chengxuan emotionlessly left her.

Gu Zixian stood dumbly on the spot, his face was pale as he held onto Alain's arm: "Your Highness only has that Su Yu Wan in your heart from beginning to end."

"Miss, although Su Yu Wan is loved by the Prince, he will always be tired of her." "No matter how beautiful and intelligent the princess is, she's always paving the way for you. In the future, we won't have as much contact with her as she would have," Alan consoled her with a chuckle.

Gu Zixian nodded with a cold expression: "She's already lost her favour."

When night fell, Gu Daiyan could only stay in his room and watch the maidservants in the yard laugh.

Duan Chengyu, on the other hand, arrived in her courtyard on the night of the same year. His eyes were filled with heartache, causing Gu Liuyan to laugh uncontrollably: "I'm not dead yet, but I was exposed with an expression that was on the verge of tears."

"I can't help you at all. I don't have any skills."

Duan Chengxuan's fist heavily smashed onto the table, and he was filled with 100% fury. "How could Imperial Uncle dare …"

"Can I not mention him?" Gu Liuyan's body stiffened for a moment.

"My fault." Before he came here, he had already heard that Gu Pingyan's mood was extremely low. Today, it was only because that Xiao Liang was very cute, so she said a few more words. Every time she saw Duan Chengxuan, if she wasn't a puppet, she would be so tense that she would reply.

"You, on the other hand, came to my place to celebrate the new year, Litchi Bay …"

"She wouldn't let me see you. She thinks you're a total nuisance." As Duan Chengyu thought of this, he vexedly sighed.

Gu Mingyan smirked, "I think so too. It might be better if you stay away from me."

"I can't trust Uncle Huang like before. You shouldn't be treated like this. That is a child between the two of you, not to mention Su Yu Wan, she …" As he spoke up to here, Duan Chengyu suddenly shivered.

This piqued Gu Daiyan's curiosity, but she couldn't show too much interest in him, so it always made him suspicious.

Duan Chengyu carefully sized up Gu Daiyan and noticed that she didn't seem to mind. He then shook his head and changed the topic: "If you're unhappy staying in the prince's mansion, I can bring you to my residence …"

"I want to return to the medicine house." Gu Liuyan looked at him again and her eyes lit up: "I want to go back there, and I still want to go to the Hall of Healing. I don't want to be in a daze here."

"But your body …" Duan Chengyu looked at her worriedly.

"I will take care of myself, but I really don't want to stay here. I only need to close my eyes every day …" Gu Liuyan suddenly covered his mouth in fear as his stomach churned.

Damn it, it was a mother's instinct, and she didn't even want to think about whether the poor child could scream.

Duan Chengyu quickly patted her back and painfully said, "Of course you can, I'll immediately go tell Royal Uncle."

Gu Liuyan was still retching, but Duan Chengyu helplessly called over Mu Qing to treat her.

On the other hand, he went to the hall and found Duan Chengxuan, who was having New Year's Eve meal with Gu Zixian and Su Yuwan. "Imperial Uncle, I would like to ask you to let Crown Princess Jing return to the medicine house to recuperate."
