The Yun Family's betrayal had a turning point, and the entire nation was shocked once again.
Although the emperor had already granted a temporary pardon to the Yun family, he had dispatched a new group of people to find the culprit. Even a few of the younger princes had begun to search for the culprit.
In the past few days, Meng Xu temporarily took the position of Minister of Revenue, while Gu Sheng naturally took the position of Prime Minister. These two young men had almost stepped on the doorstep of an upstanding mansion, but both of them had simultaneously shown humility and gained the hearts of the people.
The situation in the imperial court had greatly changed due to the deaths of a few princes and the subordinate positions of court officials. Duan Chengxuan was also extremely busy with these matters, so Su Yu Wan accompanied him day and night.
Today, Su Yu Wan saw that Duan Chengxuan had sent someone to deliver something to the Phoenix Cry Courtyard and said softly, "Big Brother Xuan, if Gu Pingyan finds out that it was you who framed the Yun family …"
"It's not a good time to announce it." Duan Chengxuan pulled her into his embrace and continued, "Moreover, I do owe her too much, so I should properly make up for it."
"But big brother Xuan, she doesn't care about you at all. She's looking for trouble in Sky Fire City every day." "I heard that a few days ago, she wrapped up a pleasure boat to sail the lake. When she got off the boat, she heard a group of people saying that she didn't know that she would come out every day, so she directly rewarded them with silver. She even said that they were right, but the people from Sky Flame said that she was very strange."
Duan Chengxuan wasn't surprised by this at all. Every day, the people who had followed Gu Danyan sent over various strange news, such as her snatching the beggar's bowl, leading people all the way to the clinic to check his pulse and giving them money, then she went to Wang Mo and Zheng Qiankun's winery and got drunk, causing Wang Mo's precious Mo Bao to be driven out.
She seemed to have done all sorts of weird things.
Gu Danyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down. Gu Zixian, who was sitting beside him, suggested, "Navy Tide will flood every spring and summer, and quite a few women have gone to the White Horse Temple to pray for their blessings. Why don't we also go pray for our blessings? It represents the face of King Jing Palace."
Gu Zixian's words were fitting and proper, causing Duan Chengxuan to look at him in another light. Normally, when Su Yu Wan was here, she wouldn't care about this, but Gu Pingyan didn't care about burning incense to worship Buddha.
"The White Horse Temple's Su Yu is not bad, there's no harm in going." Gu Danyan smiled.
Su Yuwan didn't want to go there, but seeing that Duan Chengxuan seemed to like the idea, he said softly, "Indeed, it's only right to pray for the victims of disasters."
Seeing that the few of them had made up their minds in just a few words, Duan Chengxuan sent someone to protect them.
But at this moment, Gu Danyan's gaze descended before Duan Chengxuan. "Prince, I didn't see you manage the flood last spring's Spring Festival. This year's matter has changed and the court is busy, shouldn't you go?"
"Right." Duan Chengxuan looked at her. "What thoughts do you have now?"
"I'm only reminding you that it is not easy to recuperate from a flood." After saying that, only the ghost outside the door could understand what was going on.
This was also Gu Daiyan's warning to the Third Prince, so why would he tell Duan Cheng Xuan?
"Got it." Duan Chengxuan nodded, then he picked up another bowl of Red Braised Meat from Gu Daiyan's bowl and said, "You're already so skinny, make up for it."
Gu Zixian and Su Yuwan both stared at her. Gu Danyan put the Red Braised Meat in her mouth and held her face with a smile: "I've been getting skinnier and skinnier in the Crown Prince's Palace, but it's all thanks to the prince's care."
"Yan'Er …" Duan Cheng Xuan lightly called out.
Upon hearing these two words, Gu Danyan revealed an expression as if he had eaten a fly, and stopped talking.
"By the time you return, I should have already left." Duan Cheng Xuan instructed in a light voice.
The few of them nodded their heads. They knew that this flood had to be prepared beforehand, so it was within reason for Duan Chengxuan to rush over to claim the throne.
Su Yu Wan and Gu Zi Wu's eyes met, sparks flying, the two of them had a fight to the death.
Only Gu Daiyan, after finishing his meal, went back to pack up his things. He asked her, "Why did you remind the prince that we shouldn't help the Third Prince?"
Gu Danyan helplessly glanced at him and said, "The two of them govern different places. I can't just helplessly watch as the people under Duan Chengxuan's jurisdiction die for the sake of the throne, so it's better for me to give a reminder."
"So that's how it is." Phantom rubbed his head.
After packing up, she would be going to the White Horse Temple in a few days. Gu Danyan still insisted on bringing both Qing Ze and Aunt Zhang along. The only difference was that today, she was going to the Listening Wind Tower to meet the widow.
Upon arriving at the Wind Listening Pavilion, Widow Zhu was still dressed in white, with some white hair appearing to have been added to her hair. However, she still looked dignified and proper, as if she was a lady from a noble family.
In fact, Gu Liuyan had only seen her a few times at the Yun clan, so she didn't have a deep impression of her.
When the two of them met, the widow greeted them with a wave of her hand and she walked over. Liu'er and the two girls who served her left tactfully, leaving the room to them.
"Aunt Zhu." Gu Danyan called out softly.
Widow Zhu was still in a daze. She had never even told Gu Mingyan her name, but now that she saw Gu Pingyan, she felt a pang in her heart, "The third prince has told me everything about you. You shouldn't bear such things."
"Aunt Zhu, you must be joking. This was my life after all." Gu Danyan quickly waved his hand and continued: "I came here today to ask if any enemies of the Yun clan had come to take revenge before this. Or did he really have a grudge with Jiang Yan's people? "
Speaking of the important matter, the widow Zhu turned serious. She shook her head and said in a low voice, "This group of people's goal is not revenge. They want the Yun family's secret recipe, your mother's suicidal string, and the immortal formula."
"Yes, I took a peek when I was sneaking out. Many people have flipped through it, but other than some ancient formulas that no one in the Yun clan could understand, the rest have all been taken by twos and threes. There are also the prescriptions that the lord gave you previously." Yun Fu nodded slightly.
After saying that, both of them sighed softly.
Gu Liuyan also felt that this matter had suddenly lost its clue.
In the eyes of the emperor, this was a huge problem for outsiders, but in the eyes of the people of the Yun clan, this was a crime caused by one's wealth. Other people would want to see the formula from the emperor when he was plundering for his family, or after he had dealt with the descendants of the Yun clan.
After a long period of silence, the widow Zhu suddenly clapped. "However, there's something else that's very strange …"
