Having been seen through, Meng Xu sat beside her and poured her a cup of warm water.

"You're still smart, but what I want to say might hurt you." Meng Xu helplessly placed the cup in her hand. "I want to know what exactly happened to you. I want to know what happened in Prince Jing's estate. I want to know how you are going to choose the talent that I support."

If he recalled the past, he would tear apart the scars he had left behind.

But her wounds had never healed, so she opened her mouth and told Meng Xu everything she knew, including all the politics she had heard in the study, and all the national affairs she had seen.

It also included the first snow of winter, as well as how deep the sound of the snow falling was.

By the time she finished speaking, the warm water in her cup had already turned cold. "These are all irrelevant. Since we coincidentally met today, I believe that the heavens would like to give me a chance."

"What do you want to do?"

"In a few days, I will think of a way to distance myself from him. I will become his enemy." Gu Danyan put down the cold water and looked at Meng Xu at the same time, "I don't want you to be affected by my hatred. Gu Danyan put down the cold water and looked at Meng Xu at the same time," I don't want you to be affected by my hatred.

As he said this, Gu Liuyan lowered her head seriously.

Meng Xu was a piece of gold within the mud. As long as his ideas were accepted by others, as long as she could rely on the Third Prince to put those ideas into action, then Navy Tide's world would change.

"Do you believe in me like this? Do you believe that I have this kind of strength?"

"No doubt about it." Gu Liuyan raised his head again: "Don't belittle yourself. You were born with the talent to change the ways of the world, but the people in the imperial court are all more scheming than you. If you want to put your ideas into action, you need to do everything you can to achieve great things."

The latter who was praised frowned, then the corners of her mouth lifted up, "Thank you for your blessings, I promise you."

"Then I am relieved." Gu Danyan spoke as casually as before, as if what had been revealed was not her scar.

She happily waited for the meat buns made by the little red girl, as well as the delicious meals.

After a meal, she put on her veil again and carried the basket full of medicinal herbs on her shoulders. She said goodbye to the little red girl and Meng Xu, "I'll be going back first. Otherwise, Fairy Qingmei will worry about me."

"Let me walk you out." The little red girl volunteered to follow him.

Gu Danyan nodded in understanding. She could go astray by herself when she went out to pick herbs, but she might not go that far again when she went back.

As she followed Hong Lingtong through the forest, she would only occasionally say a few words to him.

When they returned to the city gates of Sky Flame City, they separated. Looking at the huge city gates of Sky Flame City, her face darkened. Of course, she couldn't bet all her chips on Meng Xu.

As she walked through the city gates, the soldiers suddenly knelt in front of her and blocked her way. "On the orders of your highness, this subordinate will send the wangfei back to her mansion in one piece."

"Alright, but I still need to go to the Hall of Relief to order some ingredients." Gu Liuyan nodded as if he understood. She was still wearing her veil, and under the astonished gazes of the passersby, she brought two soldiers to go back and forth between the streets.

Only after returning to the medicine house did the two soldiers finally leave.

Gu Dai Yan glanced at the dark blue sky and waved her hands at Qing Dai and Yun Fu: "Spring's Day, should we go out and have some fun?"

"Sure." Xiao Liang smiled and nodded. On the other hand, Qing Dai, who was standing beside him, looked strangely at Gu Daiyan and said, "But if Your Highness finds out about this …"

"How can he possibly know about the future? "If we were to leave tonight, I heard that there's still Yan City 70 miles away, and there's quite a bit of delicious food there." Gu Danyan helplessly took the soup from Qing Dai's hands, gritting his teeth as he drank it.

However, Gu Tinyan had already left with Liang to prepare the carriage.

In the afternoon, Gu Pingyan had already hired a coachman and decided to leave. She had sent someone to take care of the 'White Peony and Red Jujube' and 'Yin Er' in the courtyard. They made their way to the nearest city, Yan City.

Yan City was different from the bustling Sky Flame. It was not a place for many caravans to travel to, but a fortress outside Sky Flame City. However, most of the people here were unfilial sons of courtiers.

Arriving at the inn, the Lady Boss was dressed in revealing clothes as she sized up the three ladies before her, "Oh, I've never seen three ladies on the road before. This Yan City isn't a good place to be. I'll get a room for all of you."

"Let's open two." Where was the logic in living in the same room with her master?

The Lady Boss giggled, "I'm afraid you all don't know that the young master of Yan City likes pretty girls. The three of you have some help to take care of each other."

With that, the female boss had already asked the waiter to bring them to the upper rooms without a care in the world.

Gu Liuyan, on the other hand, tactfully gave the Lady Boss some money: "Thank you, Lady Boss. I just want to know, where are all the delicious food nearby?"

"So you're actually looking for food. Unfortunately, you're a woman." The Lady Boss giggled and waved at the waiter beside her. "If you want some food, you can just tell the waiter to go."

"Why is that?" The beam did not understand.

The waiters by the side all laughed. The Lady Boss stared at them flirtatiously before continuing, "Those delicious snacks are all in those beautiful streets and alleys. I'm afraid you all don't know that this Yan City is also called Night City."

Gu Daiyan sighed helplessly. She gave the waiter some silver coins and told him to bring the pastries back.

After returning to his room, Xiao Liang laid his head on the table and let out a long sigh, "Looks like coming here for nothing."

Gu Danyan looked at her helplessly, then sat on the edge of the bed and opened the window wide.

She had not come here for nothing. Qing Shui could see that she had already realized her purpose. She just packed everything up and asked, "Is the Lady going to start acting soon?"

"I just wanted to test it out." The corner of Gu Ming's mouth twitched.

Since she had returned from outside, Duan Chengxuan would have someone escort her back to the Medicine Hall. If she were to come to Yan City, what would Duan Chengxuan do then?

If Duan Chengxuan didn't do anything, then she would naturally join hands with the Third Prince wholeheartedly.

However, if Duan Chengxuan really did something, she would naturally carefully observe the surroundings for anyone following him. After that, she would use his love to do even more things.

For example, snatching away the days of Duan Chengxuan accompanying Su Yuwan.

In the dead of the night, this was the first time Gu Pingyan had not woken up from his nightmare, but was woken up by the soft sound of the door opening. Qing Dai and Xiao Liang slept soundly, and a familiar voice, which they had not heard for a long time, soon rang in her ears: "Has Ben Wang ever allowed you to leave?"
