The moon was dark and the winds were strong. A ghost silently arrived in Gu Zixian's room.

Outside the door, Gu Pingyan had relied on his well-learned martial arts to drag Lan to a corner where no one could see him. He didn't forget to gently receive the silver spoon from Lan, while his other hand was still holding the knife around Lan's neck.

Lan was startled. Under the thin moonlight, he finally saw Gu Danyan's face clearly. His expression changed. "Princess …"

"I'm not trying to kill you. I'm afraid that you're screaming and provoking people." Gu Danyan gently put down the knife in his hand.

Alan let out a sigh of relief. Something slid down his throat, and he coughed. "What did you give me to eat?"

"Extremely poisonous." Gu Daiyan smiled and took a bite of the piping hot silver spoon in his hand.

Alain was shocked and his legs went soft. "I wonder what Alain did …"

"I'll give you the antidote every seven days." Gu Liuyan held the silver ear soup and looked at her indifferently: "Gu Sheng is father's child. Just tell this to Gu Zixian without leaving a trace, and then just think of a way to let her meet more of Lady Gu's flowers and pears."

"This …" Alan clutched at his throat, both shocked and frightened by the news.

Gu Danyan lightly stuffed two hundred taels of silver into her hands, "Use this money to look after your family. In the future, if you don't come to the King's Manor, you can come find me a place to protect you. Are you willing?"

Alain was so clever that even the dame praised Alain for his cleverness.

If not for the fall of Gu Cheng, the only person that Lan Lan could rely on would be Gu Zixian, and she definitely would not have hung himself on Gu Zixian's tree. Compared to Gu Zixian, Gu Danyan was a smart man, and was even the main wife.

With rolling eyes, Alan bowed to Gu Mingyan. "Alan is willing, but he still has one more request. As long as the princess agrees, Alan will be willing to help you in the future."

"Tell me about it." Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows.

"Lan's only wish in this life is to marry into a rich merchant. If Princess can fulfill this wish of his, Lan will repay this wish wholeheartedly in the future." Alan said, his eyes shining.

"You want to be the principal wife?" Gu Daiyan laughed lightly, holding the silver spoon in her hand, she walked up to Lan and said, "You're as smart as a fairy, but you're better at observing words and emotions. You should be able to come up with something even if you entered the palace as a concubine."

"Princess is really intelligent. Alain just needs to be a concubine." Lan Lan slightly raised his head and saw the smile on Gu Tinyan's face. His heart skipped a beat.

As long as he could marry a good family in the future, he would be able to survive for the rest of his life.

Gu Liuyan, on the other hand, found this interesting. This Lan saw the situation very clearly and knew the seriousness of it.

Even if she said it out loud, she wouldn't be able to completely trust her. She could only nod her head, "I'll agree, but I won't be able to cure myself of this poison in a short period of time."

Lan's body trembled. "As long as the princess is willing to spare my life, I have the ability to prove my abilities."

Then, do you remember that Gu Sheng is the son of Gu Cheng, the eldest son of Zixian and me, and the current Pear Blossom is not a maidservant but Gu Cheng's illegitimate daughter? After Gu Danyan finished, he took the silver spoon and left.

Under the moonlight, Alan slowly stood up and finally let out a breath.

Gu Zixian was cowering in the corner. When he saw Lan Lan, he was slightly relieved and told her about the poison Su Yuwan had poisoned him. Lan was shocked as well. "How could Su Yuwan be so bold? People from the White Horse Temple have too many eyes …"

"I said that too, but ghosts said that Su Yu Wan has always been a lawless person, so they told me to be careful." Gu Zixian's face was ashen, but when he saw the empty space in Lan's hands, he couldn't help but be confused. "Don't tell me that there isn't even a silver spoon in this temple?"

Lan remembered about the silver spoon and quickly said, "Yes, but it was too dark. I bumped into a little master when I was walking out of the kitchen. I can't stop thinking about it. The kitchen is still working."

"Then forget it. I can't eat anyway, so I broke out in a cold sweat." Gu Zi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes became ice-cold. He could only lightly grip the antidote bottle in his hands.

Gu Danyan quietly returned to his room.

Aunt Zhang and Qing Ze were already fast asleep in the room next door, while ghost girl carried a small box of food and placed it on the table. She looked at her and said, "Prince ordered Cheng Er to deliver these."

"Giving in the middle of the night?" Gu Mingyan waved the silver ear soup in her hand that was half full and sat down, "Are the two of you here? Could it be that you came to see me for something? "

Ghost opened the box and took a look before sighing, "Cheng Er left a long time ago. I actually think that your highness is just trying to coax you to be happy."

"I'm afraid he won't be able to fulfill his wish." Gu Liuyan picked up a piece of cake and put it down after taking a bite, "I liked it yesterday, but I don't like it today."

The ghost sighed again. As Gu Tinyan drank the silver spoon, she told him about Alain's request.

"Are you really going to find her a wife?"

"Of course, she's smart and beautiful, she should be a wangfu in anyone's house." Gu Danyan frowned and put down the empty bowl, "When you are free at the White Horse Temple, you should keep an eye on Hua Li. I think she has a plan."

"I know. It's late at night now, so you should rest early." The ghost lightly patted her shoulder. "I'm afraid that this trip to the White Horse Temple will be the last of its journey. In a few days, Lady Yue Qing and the Third Prince's consort will come to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings. They should be discussing the matter of the water calamity with you."

Gu Liuyan thought about it and realized that what the ghost said was true, so she went to bed early.

On the morning of the second day, when the bell of the White Horse Temple rang, Gu Danyan got up early as if he found the little monk from the void to be interesting. He then wore a grey robe and followed the monk from behind, "I will train with you in the next few days."

Fu Chen was astonished and stammered, "I just …"

"I'm just a girl too. I'm very young, so it's no problem to follow you." With that, Gu Daiyan rushed over with a broom, moving closer to Xu Danchen: "Where do you usually sweep? I'll split half. "

Xu Luochen only said one sentence, which was Amitabha, and told Gu Danyan one at a time.

Under the eaves, Lonesome Flower was holding onto Madam Gu's arm and smiling contemptuously: "Father even said that this Gu Liuyan is a smart fox charmer. I think that she is a little crazy, and she is not afraid of losing her identity with a monk."

Lady Gu quickly covered her mouth. "Be careful not to let your father know! Don't forget the purpose of your visit. "

"I understand, I understand. Isn't it just to find a way to win over Gu Zixian? "Just watch me." Hua Li waved her hand impatiently and dragged Madam Gu away.
