"It was Ziwang who told Father and Aunt." Gu Liuyan sneered and put down the book.

"If it wasn't for Zi Xing telling me father, are you prepared to continue staying in this broken medicine house without doing anything!?" I let you marry the prince to help the royal family spread their influence, to help you out as your father. I didn't expect you to be so unpromising. " Gu Cheng still wanted to get up, but this time, even Cheng Er had no choice but to step forward and block their path.

"You servants still haven't stepped aside." Madam Gu took a step forward, looking extremely aggressive.

"The Navy Tide Imperial Family is the Heavens. Now that I'm the Crown Prince's consort, should the Prime Minister's wife pay her respects to me?" Gu Liuyan said softly, ignoring Qi Rou, who was beside her, and pulled her lightly.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng became even angrier, "She's your aunt."

"She isn't from the imperial family. If we calculate it this way, then as the Prime Minister, I wonder what the status of the imperial family is? Is it because she despises our Navy Tide Imperial Family, or because she looks down on Prince Jing?" Gu Danyan still dared to speak boldly. She even opened up the twenty percent chance of success before walking up to Gu Cheng, "Gu Zixian, as my concubine, is urging my father to come and insult my wife. What kind of crime is this?"

She raised her hand to cover up her anxious father before shifting her gaze to Madam Gu. "In addition, there is no way to teach a girl. How many levels of guilt are there for Madam Gu to bear?"

"To return to the Royal Concubine and insult the Royal Family is a great crime." Cheng Yi cupped his hands together slightly.

"In that case, father and aunt, please calm down. If this great sin really comes down, then I, a mere imperial concubine, will be helpless." Gu Danyan took a step back and instructed Yin Qiufu, "Bring Father and Aunt to Prince Jing's mansion and entertain them. I will follow you."

"Yes, Princess." Yin Qiufu blinked in excitement and hurriedly invited the two of them out, heading to the Residence of Prince Jing.

On the other hand, Qi Rou followed Gu Danyan into the room. The latter only packed some things, and then carried a few books with her as she leisurely walked out, "Looks like I have to return to the Prince's Mansion to stay there properly for a few days. I can only entrust this medicine house to you."

"They are your parents. How can you speak like that?" Qi Rou looked at her helplessly. "Your father is a prime minister after all."

"If he really was a competent father, he wouldn't have come up and hit me." Gu Liuyan had never held any good will towards Gu Cheng. Previously, she had said that she would let Gu Cheng argue with her over it, but since he was already prepared to make a move today, she naturally should not have left him any face.

Furthermore, in her memories, Gu Cheng had always been strict with her, but had never tried to persuade her otherwise.

It was no wonder that the original owner was so arrogant. It was also because of this Prime Minister's father that he was forced to act against him.

"You're a bit too extreme, and all your clothes are too ugly." Qi Rou looked at her clothes helplessly.

"Why are you still holding on to this point? These are just worldly possessions." Gu Danyan rubbed her nose guiltily. Whether she was sick or not, she still had to deal with a lot of things every day. She was truly annoyed.

Qi Rou could only laugh at her as she watched her leave the medicine house.

She slowly walked back to the Residence of Crown Prince Jing, and the servants indicated that they had already sent the two to the main hall. She then casually picked someone up and said, "Let Qing Dai go call Zixian as well."

"Yes, Princess." The servant hurriedly left to fetch someone.

When Gu Liuyan arrived at the hall, Gu Cheng seemed to have calmed down. Madam Gu was also in the mansion, holding himself back. Upon seeing her enter, the two of them hesitated for a while but didn't say a word.

After leisurely sitting down, the maidservant served her some tea before she spoke in a low voice, "Second Young Miss Qi is seriously ill. Why is it inappropriate for me to stay in the medicine house to treat her?"

"What does Second Miss Qi have to do with you!" Gu Cheng seemed to have been angered the moment he heard Gu Liuyan's voice. He couldn't wait to open his daughter's head and see what was inside. If he didn't get the favour of the prince, he would actually go and treat that Miss!

"This was instructed by the prince. Father is satisfied with the answer." She casually placed the cup to the side and saw that Madam Gu was frowning. She then continued, "Since Your Highness is willing to let me work with the Misty Rain Pavilion, I'll naturally show my sincerity. Furthermore, Father, Gu Yan, the adopted son you adopted previously was also me asking for Your Highness's help.

"The Prince wants you to work with Misty Rain Pavilion? Why did that Scholar say that you're unfavoured, can't compare to that girl. " Gu Cheng calmed down instead, puzzled.

"That lady grew up with her highness, and the childhood sweethearts were inconsequential. Even as an imperial concubine, I could only be magnanimous. But father still wanted me to compete for her favor, and in the end, I ended up being disliked by his highness?" Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and asked. He was already a bit impatient.

Gu Cheng kept his mouth shut, but Madam Gu was not a merciful person. "If that's the case, then you're the same as the prince. Other than the rumors, why haven't I seen the prince bring you along?"

"But because when the prince brought me along, no one knew." Gu Danyan naturally took it for granted that she would say something, causing Madam Gu to be speechless.

However, a moment later, Gu Zixian had already brought Lan Lan over, and unexpectedly Duan Cheng Xuan followed behind.

It seemed that he had returned from outside, and after a while, even Duan Chengyu followed in. He was in an even more sorry state than Duan Chengxuan, and his face was tainted with some dirt.

"Your Highness, Fourth Prince." Gu Cheng hurriedly bowed to Madam Gu.

"Sit down." Duan Chengxuan naturally sat down by Gu Daiyan's side and asked her, "Have you recovered from the cold?"

"Not yet. He's recovered by more than half." Gu Liuyan just pointed at the tip of his red nose.

Duan Cheng Xuan lightly nodded, and only picked up the book that she placed on the side, glanced at it, then put it down.

When Gu Mingyan saw that he had no interest whatsoever in these medical books, the corners of her mouth curled up and she tossed the books to Duan Chengyu, who was at the side. Duan Chengyu revealed a terrified expression as he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Yu'er doesn't like to look at things." Duan Cheng Xuan brought the book back to her.

Putting the book away, Gu Daiyan had originally wanted the Gu family to speak frankly so that Gu Cheng wouldn't cause trouble. However, now that Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengyu had come over, the matter probably wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"The Sixth Prince annihilated two strongholds of the Mirage in the south by himself, and in a few days time, he will return with merits. The Second Prince and the Third Prince have no intention of fighting at all. What does the Prime Minister think the Fourth Prince should do?" With a sudden change in topic, Duan Chengxuan directly threw the topic of conversation in front of Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng frowned slightly, revealing a troubled expression when he saw his wife and two daughters were there.

"This question will naturally be left to the fourth prince to decide. Why would the king drag you and the prime minister into this?" Gu Daiyan looked at Duan Chengxuan with a puzzled expression.

Instead, it was Gu Cheng who had watched his daughter discuss the affairs of the court in such a bold manner. He hurriedly said, "I believe that the Fourth Prince can secretly observe the movements of the crown prince's residence. Although the justice courts have not made any moves, according to their character, they will definitely not let the crown prince off until the crown prince …"

"But This King believes that Princess Hua-Yang's words are reasonable." Duan Cheng Xuan interrupted him.
