The weak candle flame flickered unsteadily, Gu Mingyan's outer clothes were stained with blood and could not be worn anymore. At this time,'s black outer robe was placed on his shoulders, and when he took it off, it was filled with warmth, held by Gu Mingyan's inner strength. At this time, Gu Mingyan was holding it loosely onto his body, and the clothes on his back were loose, so he did not want to touch his wounds.

Xiao Qiran was also dressed in tight profound colored clothes. Her shoulders were wide, narrow at the waist, and her two long legs were not covered by the long robe, but they were tightly packed. It was not possible to tell that she was a handicapped person who had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time.

One sat cross-legged on the bed while the other sat at the side of the table next to the candle.

Gu Mingyan told them everything that he had done wrong, and even more so poured the dirty water on Xiao Qiran and the emperor, just to protect his filial piety and sincerity towards his father, Gu Zhiyuan.

"Although I am sorry, Linglong is the most precious item that I have. If I had not handed it to father at that time, I'm afraid that he would not have believed me."

Gu Mingyan apologized with a guilty conscience, but he still remembered that Linglong was originally Xiao Qiran's personal item.

"You did well in this matter, but you didn't pity yourself in the slightest." Xiao Qiran felt that the person in front of him must have looked much thinner that day at the bottom of the cliff. He scolded with a frown, "If you had said it earlier, you would have been able to save yourself some physical pain.

"I was just thinking that since I've already been beaten up, I should at least bleed a little to make him suffer for a few days."

Gu Mingyan's finger tip, which had a sickly white color, stuck out from her sleeve. The smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth made people feel chills, but she merely tapped on the sleeve with her fingertip.

"I haven't fully healed from my wounds, so naturally, I have to make him suffer unendurable pain, causing him endless nightmares."

Speaking to here, the voice revealed a smile that Gu Mingyan himself did not realise.

Seeing that Xiao Qiran's expression was strange, she quietly suppressed the madness in her eyes, lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the evil thoughts in her heart, and then tightly gripped her fingertip: "It's just revenge."

Xiao Qiran's eyes were sharp as a torch, how could he not see how her emotions were going through ups and downs just now?

The two completely different faces only changed in a split-second when they lowered their eyes. One was sinister and evil, while the other was elegant and indifferent. Most of them were as indifferent as they usually were.

Just as Gu Mingyan was about to put the pill into his mouth, he heard him speak.

"Does poisonous grass seeping into the stomach cause no pain?"

"Of course it hurts, but my back is injured for a few days. The night wind is biting cold, and if I blow on it for too long, it won't hurt anymore."

Gu Mingyan rolled his eyes at him in an impolite manner, and only felt that this question was too useless.

These hasty words caused Xiao Qiran to recall the time when she was in his embrace feeling extreme pain.

How much pain would it hurt?

Xiao Qiran found it hard to imagine. At this moment, he looked at her smooth and thin wrist and coldly said: "You already have me as your backer, and the Prime Minister dares to make such a heavy move against you. You don't put me in your eyes."

Prime Minister is a man of great authority. Why would he be afraid of a prince who cannot be promoted to the throne?" He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking at him, "Not to mention, Daddy has always hoped that I could control you, but the prerequisite for this matter is that Daddy controls me completely. Even if I don't teach him a lesson today, he will find a reason to teach me a lesson in the future.

The logic was simple, but if one wasn't careful, it was still possible to fall into a trap.

Xiao Qiran did not expect this, but instead said: "But if it's like this, the Madam Liu might even find people to rope you in, but they must definitely surpass the Prime Minister, so what should be your choice?"

"Even if I make a choice, it's useless. They only believe in what they see right before their eyes." At this moment, Gu Mingyan smiled with clear and bright eyes, "Madam Liu wants you to get close to the empress. Father wants me to hold you back, so there is no conflict between the two matters."

Xiao Qiran only laughed lightly: "Since you have helped me think of everything, what benefits do you want from me?"

"Xu'er is at the prime of her life for martial arts practice. I want you to give me some advice from time to time. If he trusts you in the future, wouldn't he be able to kill two birds with one stone?"

Gu Mingyan missed his little brother who had been left alone for so many years.

Even if Gu Zhiyuan had many wives and children, she would never have children no matter what. Furthermore, under the situation where Gu Zhiyuan was unconscious and his grandmother had no influence in the manor, he dared to come and give away things to her.

Mentioning this little brother, Xiao Qiran stood up and sat beside Gu Mingyan. She pinched the black hair on her ears and sniffed lightly, but she did not understand: "Your little brother just said that your body was stained with fragrance, and you immediately changed your expression to dump people on the ground. You did not hesitate to open and bring him back? "Why?"

The nasal cavity was clean and had a smell of blood at most. Where did the sweetness come from?

Xiao Qiran did not notice this action, and in a moment of breath, he landed on the slender neck, causing Gu Mingyan to hurriedly raise her hand to cover her neck, as she turned her head to pull out the half strand of hair, and looked at him with reddened eyes.

"Rogue!"

"There's nothing sweet about it."

Xiao Qiran pulled away with that slight smile on his face, but his eyes still carried a bit of ridicule.

"However, in the past few days, he had come here night and night. The stench of blood that I had contaminated and gave him had caused him to be infected with some slow poison. After a while, he started to become greedy for the blood poison." Gu Mingyan held onto his clothes and retreated a little: "I forgot that it is not appropriate to smell too much of the blood poison. It is highly toxic."

"The Blood Poison in the water under the Sun Cliff did not disturb me in the slightest."

Xiao Qiran asked again.

Gu Mingyan was furious, he did not know what his brain was made of, and why he remembered everything so clearly, so he could only brace himself and explain.

"I have the antidote, not to mention in the water, it's nothing."

"Where's the antidote?"

Xiao Qiran openly stretched out his hand.

Gu Mingyan did not know whether it was because she had lost too much blood and her brain heated up, or because the man's sudden innocent eyes were too bewitching, and when she regained her senses, she had already taken out a box of pills from her spatial space and placed it in Xiao Qiran's hands.

The next moment, two soft petals covered her lips.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingyan opened her eyes wide in an attempt to retreat, but the person beside her gently grabbed onto her wrist, and placed her other hand on the back of her head.

Without enough time to struggle, Gu Mingyan only had enough time to place both of her hands on the man's chest. She felt her heart beating intensely, and her tight muscles were depicted with all the details in her hands.

When his breath was close enough, the man could only helplessly leave her. The warm hand at the back of his head also gently patted her.

"Can't breathe?"

Xiao Qiran consoled her by sliding his hand down to the back of her neck, and then he whispered into her ear: "It's time for your brother to acknowledge me as his brother-in-law."

"What …"

Gu Mingyan saw Gu Xu standing by the door, at a loss of what to do, while Xiao Qiran had a complacent smile on his face.

You did it on purpose!
