After eating and drinking with Gu Daiyan for three days straight, the two of them never stopped to rest. They went up the cliff to gather medicinal herbs, and then went down to accompany Gu Daiyan to find the most delicious wonton stall. Even on the small street, Duan Chenxuan accompanied her for a stroll.

Three days later, Gu Liuyan was dozing off in front of the dressing table, but Duan Chengxuan was in high spirits and had someone help him change his clothes.

Gu Danyan rubbed his head, but finally regained some clarity.

"Next up, it's time for us to fight over Su Yuwan. Those people that were previously attached to the Second Prince will probably take advantage of me being alone and come to work for me." Gu Liuyan whispered.

"Yes." Duan Chengxuan buttoned up his clothes. "I was just about to accompany the Tong Zhou and go back to the Sunset Water Stronghold. For the sake of misunderstanding … The Emperor was upset about me and our private military affairs, so he raised the position of a first grade official on the Tong Zhou Empire."

"How did you solve the problem of being a private soldier?" Gu Liuyan was curious.

"Qi Yubai told them the name of the fourth prince, and then said that the second prince had ordered them to do it this way. Qi Yanbai was dismissed, and the next Prefecture Lord in Mount Yue City will appear to be the adopted son of Qi Yanbai, but in fact, he's actually the biological son of Qi Yanbai." Cheng Shan quickly explained.

Gu Daiyan looked at Duan Chengxuan through the copper mirror before him and smiled. "So it turns out that not only does father know how to remove the cicada's shell."

"Gu Cheng and Qi Yanbai are both smart people. As long as they have power in their hands, it wouldn't be a loss to anyone if they were to give it to them. The servants will have to trust them first." Duan Chengxuan nodded. Before he left, he gave a Jade Sage of the Cloud Crane to Gu Daiyan before taking Chengshan to the Sunset Water Stronghold, as well as Su Yu Wan.

After Duan Chengxuan left, Gu Pingyan was slightly unaccustomed to it.

Qing Dai laughed at her. "Stop thinking about it. In the future, you will still want to leave."

After being splashed with cold water, Gu Pingyan thought for a moment. This was indeed the case, but the rarest thing in the world was someone like Duan Chengxuan, who shared the same heart as her. Unfortunately, fate had yet to come.

"Forget it, I'll go to the market to show off my skills for the next few days." Gu Danyan acted as if he had forgotten about this.

Gu Liuyan had helped Duan Chengxuan fish and had received benefits from many ministers. She had also heard some rumors about the Third Prince. The commoners and people on the streets all liked this prince and had told him many things.

However, in this Wind Pavilion, one could still hear some gossip.

"Prime Minister Gu is about to be beheaded. As his daughter, Crown Princess Jing is still playing around with Prince Jing as if nothing had happened. It truly is unfilial."

"That's right. I heard that her little sister lost her child and never left home. I actually saw her and King Jing at ease."

Hearing these words, Fairy Qingmei felt that the pastries in front of her were tasteless.

Gu Daiyan, on the other hand, listened seriously to the zither music. He lightly patted the back of her hand and shook his head.

"You acted for the Prince, but the Prince did not speak for you at all." she whispered.

"It would have been strange if he had spoken up for me, and I knew this would happen, but I was never afraid of gossip." Gu Liuyan picked up a piece of cake and ate it, laughing heartily.

Qing Dai looked at her helplessly.

Only Liu'er came to her side and knelt on the soft cushion to pour wine for her.

"The wangfei is very open-minded. Words from the common folk really can't disturb the peace and tranquility of the gods."

"Are you praising me for being as beautiful as a fairy?" Gu Danyan smiled and took the cup of wine from her hand. At the same time, he said in a low voice, "My father …"

"Of course, as you wish. However, I should return the three thousand taels of silver to you." With that, Liu'er reluctantly handed the banknotes over to Qing Dai and continued, "Master Gu has someone else to save."

This old fox, where did the Cicada get out of its shell?

Gu Danyan's eyes narrowed, and in his heart, he held no respect for his father. However, Liu'er, who was beside him, said softly, "I heard that a young official wants to succeed the position of Prime Minister. He says he is an orphan in the countryside, do you want to investigate?"

"Check." Gu Liuyan said he was going to give her some silver.

Liu'er quickly put her hand up to stop her. "We can't do what we did previously. Just ask around and we'll just treat it as us gifting you some information."

"Alright." Gu Danyan took the silver.

Liu'er slowly stood up and went to chat with the others.

The ghost sitting beside Liu'er narrowed his eyes. He looked at Liu'er, then looked at the other girls, and rubbed his head. He felt that it was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Fairy handed him the glass.

"I thought it was weird the last time. I always felt like the girls in Wind Listening Pavilion had more or less practiced it before." The more he read, the weirder he felt it to be. Gu Pingyan could not tell, but he could tell that there were quite a few secrets in the Wind Tower.

Just what was this Wind Listening Pavilion doing? Even if they wanted to take the list to earn money, they had to have a proper purpose.

However, the guests in the Wind Listening Pavilion never seemed to have a lot of time to sit or talk to Liu'er, so they really did come to listen to the guqin. Moreover, many ministers had never come to the Wind Listening Pavilion before, and even Duan Chengxuan expressed that he didn't know who the people behind the Wind Listening Pavilion were.

Then there must be other entrances to their business.

On the contrary, he knew that Wang Mo had brought Zheng Qiankun to sell his wine, causing the business to become very hot. Zheng Qiankun had originally been full of profanities, but now he was forced to speak in a gentle manner.

Thinking of this, she lightly smiled, paid the bill, got up and left.

Before she left, Liu'er lightly glanced at her. On top of the pavilion, a white figure had also disappeared.

And now that the huge palace was empty, Gu Zixian went to see Madam Gu for his father's sake. He brought a lot of things with him in hopes that she wouldn't suffer when she was exiled.

Gu Danyan thought for a while, then strolled around in the Heaven Flame for a long time. Finally, he took the large and small bags of herbs and returned to the palace.

As she walked into the courtyard, she saw the two of them in the courtyard. Yue Qing was dressed in black and had a long saber by her waist with a cold gaze. Duan Chenrui was sitting by the side and seemed to be sizing up her dried medicinal plants.

"Why are you here?" Gu Daiyan hurried forward, and the ghost servant quickly put down her things and closed the door.

Duan Chengrui waved his hand and Yue Qing landed on the roof, gently observing her surroundings.

Gu Liuyan thought for a moment before asking the ghost girl to bring the medicinal ingredients she had prepared to the Pure Wind Garden. After personally brewing the medicinal herbs, she sent them to Gu Zixian and said: "There's someone watching over here from the Third Prince."

After Fairy Qingdai left, Duan Chengrui put away his usual arrogance and took out two ancient medical books from somewhere and handed them over to her.

Gu Danyan looked at the title on the book and his eyes lit up. He looked at Ye Mo strangely: "If you have nothing to say, then please say it."

Duan Chengrui wanted to laugh from her words. "This is my thanks. I'm not some weasel."
