The rain gradually subsided. For three whole days, Gu Pingyan had been modifying the prescription. Finally, he had found a trick with the distilling technique. Although distilling the formula was complicated, the ingredients were everywhere.

Although the illness of the refugees at the White Horse Temple was getting worse, it was convenient for them to get better with the help of medicine.

Only when night fell did he come over and softly say, "Yue Qing and Third Prince's consort have already left with the letter. We should leave tomorrow too, if not the Prince's men would be suspicious."

"Alright." Gu Danyan thought for a while, then asked the ghost to study the ink for him: "Since I came here to White Horse Temple, I should copy some scriptures and leave some behind. Young Master Xu Chen is a bit weak, I'll write him another prescription."

"You really can't stay idle all this time." Gu Danyan rolled his eyes at her and just smiled at her.

He busied himself to the end without stopping. Before he left, he carried those scriptures and prescriptions and only stared at Gu Daiyan with his eyes wide open. He was silent for a moment before bowing, "Princess is a saint, Buddha will bless you."

"If I didn't know that you were an honest person, I would have thought that you were flattering me." Gu Danyan also raised his hand and bowed slightly to the little master, "You are more kindhearted than your teachers. I believe that Buddha will notice you. Just smile more everyday."

Fu Chen rubbed his head. Gu Pingyan chuckled and walked away with his arm wrapped around his shoulder.

Outside the White Horse Temple, two horse carriages were already prepared, Gu Zixian uneasily got on the carriage, while Hua Li was still openly shouting to Gu Zixian beside the carriage, "Miss Zixian, next time you go to Tian Yan, you have to bring me along, the two of us are fated to be together."

These words seemed to be directed towards Gu Danyan, who merely raised his eyes. After exchanging glances with Hua Li for a while, she also got into the carriage and waved her hands at the ghost: "We've already exhausted our manpower. Let Duan Chengxuan and Gu Cheng fight in the dark. When we get back, you still help me keep an eye on the water hazard."

"Everything else?" Phantom lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked at her. "The Fourth Prince is acting strangely."

"That's none of my business. Earlier, when I mentioned the Fourth Prince in front of Duan Chengxuan, he had Chengshan send people to watch over me and forbid me from going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I'm afraid it's not a secret, but he treats the Fourth Prince with sincerity and won't harm him." Gu Daiyan trusted Duan Chengxuan this time.

Since Gu Liuyan had already decided on the chess game and was destined to allow Duan Chengxuan and Gu Cheng to fight in secret, she could also wholeheartedly manage the Third Prince's affairs.

The journey back to the estate was tiring, and the number of people Duan Chengxuan sent to protect decreased.

Gu Liuyan did not leave the house as soon as she returned to the palace. Every day, she would ask the Jishi Hall and the people in the medical hall to bring over the herbs, wishing that they could thoroughly study the previous epidemics. She also bought a lot of grass to study, not to mention finding a craftsman to improve her distilling equipment.

A month passed, and Duan Chengxuan would return with a letter every few days. If one counted the letters carefully, there were already ten.

"Everything in the city is fine, many cats, even more obedient than that red date white peony."

"There is no doctor in the village. There is a divine stick deliberately used to mystify the world. It cannot be compared to the benevolent heart of your doctor."

After all, it was just a trivial matter.

But even so, Gu Daiyan still hid these letters carefully in the drawer. When she was resting, she seemed to be impatient and would start to work whenever she saw these letters.

On the other hand, Qing Yi could say a lot of things, but the closest one was the ghost. The ghost couldn't bear to watch Gu Danyan cultivate, so he could only hug Qing Ze and hear his childish voice calling out to him: "Cucumber …."

"Puchi." Gu Danyan couldn't help but laugh. The ghost also had no choice. He rubbed his head and corrected: "It's a ghost."

"Oh, sister." Qing Yi grabbed his fingers and called out again, "Sister Gua!"

Gu Danyan and Auntie Zhang sat on the windowsill, laughing non-stop. Ghost glared at Gu Danyan: "Stop laughing. A few days ago, I watched as the Gu Zixian sneakily went to the Prime Minister's Estate. He probably met with Gu Cheng."

"I already told you to ignore it, but you just kept watching." Gu Danyan also quickly returned his glare and clicked his tongue. "I heard that it's already starting to rain at Duan Chengxuan and the Third Prince's place. You should be busy in the next two days, right?"

"That's right. According to the past calculations, there should be news delivered to the Sky Flame in two days. Even if the Emperor were to give away the money, he would still have to see how effective both sides are." Phantom nodded.

In the past, this matter was left to the officials to settle, but now that the position of the crown prince was hanging in the air, the princes and princes were all determined to fight for it, so the emperor divided this matter to the princes and gave them a month to prepare for. This year's rain was not like the past few years.

In the end, Duan Chengxuan was still a person who lived on the battlefield. What he cared about was to end this battle quickly so that no future troubles would arise. Half a month ago, he had already started building dams, building walls, and carrying bags of sand.

Thinking about it now, Gu Danyan was a little worried, "According to Duan Chengxuan's methods, the amount of water should be lower, but if the amount is larger and the dam is destroyed, then no matter how much mud and bricks there are in the downstream, it won't be enough."

"You don't know, the prince has always valued the martial arts and the civil servants in the mansion, only a few of the ministers beside him are smart. According to the investigation conducted by the young master, those ministers are all in Sky Flame to help the prince stabilize his power, and the ones who are brought here are young, so they don't dare to make any requests of the prince." Aunt Zhang brought some broth over as she spoke softly.

"Even Qi Lin knows about this?" Gu Liuyan was surprised: "Didn't he say that he was going to bring Silver Knot out to play?" "Why did you come back to help me look after the imperial court?"

It was all thanks to the second miss' guidance. She told him to go up a little, and the young master was just thinking of opening a shop for the people on the street, so the second lady persuaded Old Master Qi to buy the street next to the street. Aunt Zhang clicked her tongue.

Gu Danyan sighed, "When I heard that Qi Yu had returned, I opened a rouge shop opposite the Misty Rain Pavilion. I was making a ruckus with Qi Rou."

"Yes, and I also heard from Second Miss that Eldest Miss rumours about you everyday in the outside world, and should hate you to death."

After listening to Aunt Zhang's explanation, Gu Pingyan sighed as well. Qi Yu was not a good person to begin with, and now she was considered lucky. However, Sky Flame was still talking about her, and rumors were flying everywhere.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should take charge of the situation, she saw the steward walk in and hurriedly said, "Princess, don't go out in the next few days. There has been an epidemic in the city and I heard that several villages in the outskirts of the city have been flooded with pigs and dogs.
