The letter in his hand was scrawled with a hint of resentment.
Duan Chengrui couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Perhaps he liked to disturb Gu Danyan every time he did things, and the tone in which Gu Danyan spoke to him became more and more unyielding, but he just liked it.
"Princess Consort Jing is really overbearing with her words. Why should we follow her orders?" Chang Yiqin was extremely dissatisfied.
The few of them did not stop at all in this flood ground. Did they really have to listen to Gu Danyan's words?
However, Duan Chengrui handed the letter to Yue Qing: "You're overbearing, but your words are not rough."
"Your highness, I'm stupid. I don't know why Your Highness would say that." Yue Qing looked at the contents of the letter and thought it was ridiculous. What could a mere refugees do? They were lacking in manpower right now. Sending people out to protect these refugees would be a waste of manpower.
"In terms of battle achievements, I cannot compare to the Jing King, and in terms of talent, I cannot compare to my younger brothers. In terms of back, I am only raised by a few of the palace's mama, but fortunately, my father favored me and pretended to be mediocre, but I was not schemed to death." Duan Chengrui sighed lightly as his gaze dimmed: "But Gu Pingyan's words are just what he wants. Other than tightly holding onto the hearts of the people and the Sacred Heart, there is nothing else I can do."
Chang Yiqin and Yue Qing were both silent. Chang Yiqin was even more unwilling.
If it was within the Sky Flame, Duan Chengrui would be oppressed by a few princes and imperial concubines, and would be afraid of being targeted by others. Thus, he could only pretend to be mediocre, as he would at least be able to obtain some pity from his royal father.
And he could indeed get the hearts of the people.
"So, do as she says."
"But, Princess Jing even made a contribution for King Jing, even having the Emperor present her with a plaque. Was His Highness not afraid that this was her trap? Perhaps the suffering that she has endured is all because of the scheme that she and Duke Jing used. " Yue Qing quickly knelt down to persuade her.
Duan Chengrui sighed, "Even though it's a trap and a scheme, you have to say that if you do this, it'll benefit me in no way and will bring me no harm."
Yue Qing was about to speak, but she heard several clanging noises coming from outside, as if they were fighting against someone.
Without waiting for Yue Qing and Chang Yiqin to arrive behind the screen, the door was gently pushed open. The newcomer was very skinny, and he only gently pulled down his cape, revealing his black hair.
Upon seeing them, the newcomer did not feel the slightest bit helpless. He only chuckled, "If I were Yue Qing, I would naturally doubt the intentions of Crown Princess Jing. Thus, I am here to express my loyalty."
The person who had arrived was none other than Gu Liuyan.
She had already asked Ah Zi to find a random girl to lie down in the mansion. Moreover, Ah Zi was skilled in the art of speech, and knew how to make other people's voices, just in time to deal with the idle chatter of the many in the mansion.
Furthermore, she had intentionally mentioned the matter of having the doctor take over the disease. At least Mu Qing from the manor had been taken away, so no one knew about it.
It was also at this moment that she coincidentally came here to vote.
The sounds of swords and sabers stopped, Phantom Demon also followed, he was dressed in black, he was panting heavily as he tugged on Gu Daiyan's cloak, "I already said I won't let you move, next time, I won't forgive you!"
Gu Danyan staggered as he looked at Duan Chengrui with slight embarrassment: "It's all my fault, I got the wrong path. The two of them jumped down from the cliff and crashed onto the side. I rolled over and he started fighting with someone."
"What a coincidence, why did you come rolling over?" Duan Chengrui waved to the people outside, but he also saw the mud on her clothes.
The rest of the people had all dispersed, Gu Danyan was dragged into the house by the ghost, he carried her and ran up a mountain, he was out of breath. At this moment, he saw Gu Danyan was frowning and shouting for pain in his legs, he stuffed her into the chair and half knelt down, took out two knee guards from his pocket and tied them up for her: "Next time I really want to hit you."
"I thought it was right to follow the migrating birds." Gu Liuyan kicked him, but the ghost continued to glare at her.
Their helpless gazes caused Duan Chengrui to feel slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but on the surface, he still said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that you and Phantom were already so close, but in the end, he's still someone that came from Duan Chengxuan's side …"
"Not anymore." Gu Liuyan waved his hand: "I have no doubts about that. Third Prince need not worry."
With that, he tied up her knees and stood to the side. His fingertips gently helped her adjust her messy hair and his face was expressionless. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
"This time, it's mainly because the Heavenly Flame Blight has not been suppressed. There are some officials in the court who tried to avoid this by chasing out the people infected with the disease. A day's journey away from the Temple of Baima was already seriously affected by the disease, and I was afraid that things might not be handled well, so I came over." Gu Daiyan coughed softly a few times after he finished speaking.
The ghost put the bottle into her hand and then handed the water bag to her.
Yue Qing and Chang Yiqin had seen the two of them together back at the White Horse Temple, so they didn't mind.
Duan Chengrui felt slightly unhappy, but he still continued to say, "So this is to say, you're doing it for the plague …"
"Since Duan Chengxuan has already failed to handle the situation properly, although he didn't cause a huge disaster when he heard what I said, Su Yu Wan is a fool after all. I'm not afraid of anything here, I'm afraid of the plague that will drown our livestock. When that happens, I'm afraid that we'll be unable to handle it." Gu Daiyan pulled out a few pieces of paper from his backpack after he finished speaking.
However, those few pieces of paper were already soaked by the rain, so she could only take out a brush and ink from Duan Chengrui. She drew out some simple tools from the past and handed them over to him.
Yue Qing understood, and under Duan Chengrui's gaze, she went out to send someone out to deal with it.
Chang Yiqin laughed coldly, "Water disasters have already displaced many people, but His Highness has long studied the water disasters of the past few years. I'm afraid that this epidemic situation will not catch up with your previous analysis …"
"If it wasn't for the incident with the eighth prince, I would have believed that there wouldn't be an epidemic situation, but since it is an epidemic situation, it definitely wouldn't happen near the Sky Flame. Even if it is just a slight epidemic situation that is transmitted to livestock and then flowing down the river, do you know how many people are suffering?" Gu Danyan looked over coldly, scaring Chang Yiqin into taking a light step back to stand beside Duan Chenrui.
At this moment, Gu Daiyan had already stood up. "I'm not here for the third prince, I'm not here for the king. I'm here for the lives of these refugees. If you want to target me or suspect me, you better wait for the water disaster."
After he finished speaking, Gu Daiyan said to Duan Chengrui in the same manner, "I'm not here to be your strategist either. I'm only here to be your mentor, and I hope Your Highness places my life above all else."
With that said, Gu Danyan returned to her original appearance and followed Duan Chengrui's men to the pharmacy.
Chang Yiqin's face was pale, but only Duan Chengrui had a calm expression. He seemed to be deep in thought as he listened to Gu Daiyan's words.
