The people around her were all watching the performance earnestly. Gu Liuyan might have had a drink yesterday and went mad with Duan Chengxuan for the whole night, but after hearing the beginning, she fell asleep on the table. Fairy Qingmei sighed, as even ghosts and people felt that she had no future and did not know how to enjoy herself.

Duan Chengxuan leaned on the side, but for the first time, he felt that this opera was rather interesting.

After the troupe had all left, Liu'er went to the mansion. Gu Qing Yan didn't wake up when she heard the sound. She saw Liu'er walk in with the box in her hand and put it in front of her: "The sky is full of stars."

Gu Liuyan's spirits were immediately lifted. Tianxin was famous in Sky Fire City for its snacks. Unfortunately, she never had the time to line up, so she didn't expect to be sent here by Liu'er today.

"You found it?" Duan Cheng Xuan asked.

Gu Daiyan, on the other hand, opened the box and ate.

"In reply to Your Highness, I have indeed found some things." When Liu'er looked at Duan Chengxuan, she had recovered her usual appearance from being in the Wind Listening Pavilion, and she smiled brightly as she passed a small book over to him.

Gu Danyan who was leaning on Duan Cheng Xuan's shoulder also glanced at it and frowned.

The names of the concubines that Gu Cheng had abandoned were indeed written on this register. However, the most interesting thing was that most of these concubines were the illegitimate daughters of famous sects and clans, or perhaps they were pure young misses. At that time, there were two of them who had been divorced due to pregnancy.

"Of all the people here, only the concubine gave birth to her daughter." Gu Liuyan frowned: "He left his daughter by his side as a shield and was so good to Gu Zixian. It was probably because his conscience was unsettled that he would act so arrogantly."

As a result, Gu Zixian was so ignorant of the affairs of the world, he didn't have the slightest bit of intelligence and his mood was written all over his face.

"So how many sons does he have?" Gu Liuyan felt a headache the more she looked at it, so she decided to turn her head and eat the pastries.

"There are about five of them. The oldest one seems to be four or five years older than you, while the youngest one seems to be the same age as Second Miss Gu." Liu'er was also frowning. If it wasn't for Gu Danyan who had noticed this, even the Wind Listening Pavilion would not have bothered with this strange matter: "Not only that, your father seemed to have rented a few rooms these past few years. They are all young girls and they have quite a number of children."

Gu Danyan's eyes were wide open, and even Duan Cheng Xuan felt it was inconceivable.

"I didn't know he was the emperor, but he actually opened a branch and scattered leaves like that." Gu Liuyan calmed down.

It was impossible for him to love his mother so much that he wanted her to stay, purely because his mother's biological daughter was his own daughter. Furthermore, there were many sons and daughters under her, so the person who was sent to the Second Prince's estate as his concubine might not be a side branch, but might actually be her younger sister instead.

It was a headache.

"There's something very strange about it." Liu'er laughed lightly and continued, "On my way here, there seems to be someone following me. I was afraid that they might be the Prime Minister's men, so I threw over a list of the ladies of our building. I wonder if anything will happen?"

Duan Chengxuan and Gu Daiyan glanced at each other, as they thought that it was extremely likely that the two of them were from the Second Prince, Duan Chengjie.

"You did the right thing. Thank you for that." Gu Liuyan smiled and winked at her. Liu'er understood and quickly left.

Duan Chengxuan sent people to look for the older five sons to see if they had any tricks up their sleeves.

On the other side, when it was dark, the emperor sent an imperial edict for him to enter the palace. He also called for the Second Prince. Cheng Shan reminded him, "Today is the second day since the envoy arrived.

"I almost forgot." Gu Danyan lightly smiled and helped Duan Chengxuan tidy up his clothes. "What did you write?"

"The fake letter says that you must not tell anyone about the things you've told me." Duan Chengxuan lowered his head to look at her and gently embraced her waist. "The true letter says that I've already reported to the Emperor about the marriage alliance. No one knows about it now, so you must not tell anyone."

"So you said that you saw Erdan sending a letter. You sent it yourself. You said that you were going to make a marriage alliance. No wonder the Emperor knew about it." Gu Danyan immediately reacted and lightly hooked her arm over Duan Chengxuan's shoulder, "Your move isn't bad. The Second Prince must have accused you of betraying the country, but what about the matter with the private army?"

"Even after spending more than ten years in Mount Yue, Qi Yanbai still isn't an idiot." Duan Chengxuan sneered, then he gave Gu Mingyan a kiss before striding out in large strides.

Looking at Duan Chengxuan's back, Gu Danyan slightly narrowed her eyes, and her heart beat even more fiercely.

Duan Chengxuan was truly not an ordinary person. Initially, she thought that he already knew enough. However, it was only at this moment that he would show that he knew even more.

"Miss, there are still ten days until the Autumn Hunt. Would you like to go and practice riding?" Seeing that she was distracted, Fairy Qingmei suggested in a low voice.

Gu Daiyan nodded and followed Qing Dai to the stables to bring Silver Ear out.

Although it had not been a long time, Silver Ear had already gotten a little fat from being fed. It was better for him to have run a few laps earlier. However, Gu Pingyan was riding on it unsteadily, feeling very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he went back to practice kung fu with ghost, saying that he would ride the horse to stabilize his territory.

Enraged, Silver Ear only let out his hooves. Several servants quickly grabbed Silver Ear to prevent him from hurting anyone.

And four hours later, the news of the Second Prince's reprimand came from the palace. The Second Prince was going to train in a remote county. It was obvious that the Emperor was dissatisfied with him, and the restrictions on the Second Prince and Fourth Prince were lifted.

Even so, the fourth prince was sent to deal with important matters at the border and immediately set off without delay.

Only Prince Jing, Duan Chengxuan, had escaped unscathed and had even befriended the envoy for the marriage between the two kingdoms. He even received a reward, and looking back at Prime Minister Gu, he already had conclusive evidence.

For the entire night, the entire Skyfire Dynasty's hall was turned upside down, leaving one unable to react.

However, on the morning of the second day, many people saw Duan Chengxuan riding his horse out of Sky Flame City alone with Princess Jing. Princess Jing even carried an empty basket on her back.

In the morning, the mountain was still shrouded in mist. Gu Pingyan dug with his head down and did not forget to mock Duan Chengxuan, "If your subordinates find out that you accompanied me to gather the medicinal herbs needed for cough treatment, they would probably gang up on me."

"You still know?" Duan Chengxuan felt helpless, but he still didn't show much emotion on his face. Instead, he threw the herbs he dug out into the basket, grabbed the basket, and carried it on his back.

Gu Liuyan laughed out loud. Duan Chengxuan didn't have any temper as well, so he accompanied her step by step as they walked up the mountain.

"Has Your Highness never thought of going out to relax? I heard that the Northern Desert has a great scenery, and there's also the authentic Searing Knife and Bull's Tendon Noodle. " Gu Daiyan stood at the edge of the cliff and opened his arms to the morning sun.

"I'm starting to think about it now." The corners of Duan Cheng Xuan's mouth unconsciously curled up as he looked at her back.
