Everyone present was stunned, leaving Madam Gu and Gu Zixian confused.
Gu Daiyan wasn't surprised at Duan Chengxuan's thoughts at all.
She wasn't stupid. Whether it was because of Duan Cheng Xuan's personal ambitions or to make Su Yu Wan stand by his side in the future, he would definitely think of a way to win the throne.
Although he took care of the fourth prince, he would absolutely not give up the throne.
Thinking up to here, Gu Pingyan lightly tapped the table with his finger, making a knocking sound, "The prince must have something else to talk to father about."
"You do know This King." Duan Cheng Xuan laughed instead of getting angry, and she only glanced at Duan Chengyu who was at the side. "The foster son that helped the Prime Minister get promoted is about to be allocated, but I wonder if the Prime Minister wants him to stay in the Sky Flame or go to the border?"
These words gave Gu Danyan a lot of face.
"Naturally, it is to head to the borders …" Before Madam Gu had finished speaking, Gu Cheng had already glared at them. She hurriedly replied, "It's good to stay in Sky Flame. If Your Highness has any orders in the future, feel free to inform us."
Gu Cheng's face was ashen. Didn't Prince want to use their Prime Minister's Estate? This question was just to see if he was loyal to the Jing King. He could still find foster sons in the clan, but if he offended the Jing King, that wouldn't be appropriate.
"What does Yan'Er think?" Duan Cheng Xuan instead threw the hot potato over to Gu Daiyan.
Gu Liuyan was confused about the arrangement of the military camps. He was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know."
"If you go to the border, then you can accumulate contribution points. But if you go to the Sky Flame, then you will definitely become a senior official in the future. Which one do you think is good?" Duan Cheng Xuan had a rare expression of patience.
Gu Daiyan glanced at Duan Chengyu strangely, and Duan Chengyu shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't understand what his Imperial Uncle meant. She could only ponder for a moment, and only when she saw that Duan Chengxuan seemed to want to express something did she say, "It's not bad if you can follow by the side of the Fourth Prince."
The corner of Duan Chengxuan's mouth slightly raised. Gu Daiyan knew that he had guessed correctly.
No wonder Duan Chengxuan had mentioned the matter of the Fourth and Sixth Princes earlier, then jumped onto Gu Yan's body. So it turned out that he had already thought of using this opportunity to send the Prime Minister to serve the Fourth Prince.
"What does' wangfei 'mean?" Duan Chengyu was still puzzled.
"This is for your own good, Fourth Prince. If you have my father's help, you will have your own power within the imperial court. Naturally, you will not be afraid of open and dark attacks." Gu Danyan blinked at him.
Gu Cheng also reacted, "Prince, you want me to help the Fourth Prince gain a foothold within the imperial court?"
"Although Yu'er is young, she will definitely become a powerful general of Navy Tide in the future. The imperial court won't be able to accommodate a martial husband like him, so I can only ask the Prime Minister to help. Zi Xing, do you think what I said is correct?" In the end, Duan Chengxuan even looked at the silent Gu Zixian.
She was startled and quickly nodded.
This time, Gu Cheng was unable to escape even if he wanted to. The two women had already entered Prince Jing's estate, and his adopted son was about to be transferred to the side of the fourth prince.
But then he thought, if one of the fourth prince and prince were to become the emperor in the future, it would not be a loss for him to cling on to them. Only then would he feel slightly more comfortable.
"This king doesn't have to say anything more. From now on, I'll leave it to you all to reunite. If we chat late, then there's no harm in staying here." Duan Chengxuan stood up, but he left soon after with Duan Chengyu. Only his family was left behind.
At this moment, Gu Cheng looked at Gu Zixian in disappointment. However, he could not vent out his anger, so he could only secretly pat his armrest, "How could I have given birth to two daughters like you!"
"Father, what did Zi Xing do wrong? It's clear that it was my sister who was arguing with the Prince about politics, and it has nothing to do with me! " Gu Zixian pursed his lips and revealed his true face.
Madam Gu quickly pressed Gu Zixian down and said in a low voice, "If you didn't insist on marrying into the Prince's Mansion, your father wouldn't have been so restrained."
"Aunt, don't make a decision. It's not certain if this is a blessing or a curse. Furthermore, father has always wanted to climb up to the prince. Today, his wish has been fulfilled, but he still wants to eat and watch the pot in the bowl. Gu Danyan stood up and walked directly in front of Gu Cheng, "The Prince just gave me something. He wasn't willing to say it out himself, so I left some face for you."
As he said this, Gu Daiyan took out a piece of paper from the medical book. To be exact, it was a letter.
This was the letter that Gu Cheng had written. He hoped that the people at the border would be able to take care of Gu Yan. Once Gu Yan's achievements became known and he emerged, he would rope them in. At the very least, some of the military power would fall into his hands.
"Father is the Prime Minister, and he actually wants to divide the military power. If the Emperor were to know about this, do you know how serious it would be?" Gu Danyan only threw the letter in front of Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was sweating profusely, while Madam Gu and Gu Zixian were secretly surprised. So it turned out that the Prince wasn't just bored into reading her medical books.
"The fact that the Prince hid this matter from us is already a huge gift. If father were to do such a thing again in the future, it would be without regards for the life of little sister Zixu." Gu Danyan sneered.
"Little girl, what are you talking about? You are also the lord's daughter. If anything happened to the lord, wouldn't you be …"
"That's why I warned him. If there was a next time, the entire Prime Minister's Estate would be buried with my father."
Gu Liuyan's eyes were cold. She knew that since she said that today's matter was official, she wouldn't be able to put up a show of her might to Gu Zixian. She could only leave with a lingering fear in her heart, her gaze gloomy.
In the distance, Duan Chengxuan didn't leave, but instead waited there.
Gu Danyan walked over and sneered: "Gu Zixian told father that I'm not in the palace, so the Prince should know about all of this."
"Got it." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace, but she didn't have any intention of struggling.
"Since you're the one who planned everything that happened today, why are you still waiting for me here?" She had to look up at the relaxed man in front of her.
There were quite a few ways to give Gu Cheng a warning, but why did he have to bring her along?
"This king only knows that you are extraordinary, but I do not know how you view the Prime Minister's estate. Seeing you today, your heart is indeed stone-cold. When facing your own father, you are also rather righteous, and your eyes can't be rubbed so hard that they can't get sand in them. In this way, This King will definitely use you heavily in the future. " Duan Chengxuan lowered his head as if he was stroking her shoulders, and from the corner of his eyes, he could see that Gu Zixian, who was in the hall earlier, was looking over.
Gu Danyan also knew that Duan Chengxuan being so intimate with her was only for the sake of acting. He did not refuse, but his heart had already turned cold. "You're testing me."
"Only the ones that have been tested are worthy of This King's attention." Duan Chengxuan's voice was low and heavy as it smashed into Gu Daiyan's heart.
When she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind, she continued to ask him, "Then do you really take care of Fourth Prince?"
