Since he wasn't involved, he could only listen.

No matter how unfavoured Duan Chengrui was, he was still a prince after all. Even if he had seen the most desolate life in the world, he had only lost face, he had neither eaten nor drank, but had followed them along the way and seen their most ordinary intelligence. So it turned out that there were still shoes made of grass in this world, so they had to have bark and wild vegetables that could be used as soup.

He had seen the old woman kneel down for the sake of a bit of bread and bread. He had also seen the uncle himself use bamboo to sweep away his sick wife, leaving his children in the custody of his relatives and a shovel on the road, but even so, they still had a little bit of goodwill in their hearts. Their backs had never been bent, and they only knelt down to their benefactors.

"I don't know why I want to be a doctor, but you do?" Gu Danyan smiled helplessly and stuffed half of the biscuit into his hand.

"Because they are all worth living for." Duan Chengrui raised his head again. His eyes had long since become clear.

Before, for the sake of the throne, he only thought of how to rule the world, carry out policies, and win over the hearts of others. But now, he realized that this was not enough, as the ruler, as the people of the world, regardless of how many people there were, he should do his best to protect them.

Gu Danyan was also slightly dazed. She had never thought about it.

To her, it was as normal as eating and drinking, and it had long been carved into her bones.

However, she still rather liked what Duan Chengrui said. "You'll definitely be a good emperor in the future."

"But sooner or later, I will also sacrifice countless people." "But I know that even if I have to sacrifice myself, I must make those people die appropriately. I want to become the Emperor, not for the sake of being a good Emperor, but for the sake of my people's lives."

"Then will you open a new land?" Gu Liuyan could not help but ask her: "Your ambitions have been dormant for a long time …"

"Of course not. Right now, even if one's own people are not treated well, they cannot control the citizens of the foreign lands. The only thing I can worry about is this Navy Tide. Using it as a boundary is not an easy thing to cross." Duan Chengrui ate the biscuit in big bites, completely different from the prince who used to be so high and mighty in the Third Prince's estate.

"However, I am also thinking right now. Perhaps it might not be necessary for me. As long as it's someone who has determination, they would be able to sit on the throne." Duan Chengrui raised his head to look at the sky. Right now, the dark clouds were closed and there was no moonlight at all.

Gu Daiyan also looked up at the darkness and said helplessly: "But now, it's you. Look at your impatient brothers and uncles, they don't know what life is and how to be a lord." However, among the princes, you are the one and only. "

Gu Liuyan's words were like boiling lava that flowed into Duan Chengrui's heart.

He was burning so much that even his bones were burning. He only wished that there would never be a woman like Ming Yan in this world again.

Usually, she would come up with some advice for him, so he was not allowed to step on things wrong due to her harsh words. However, when it came to matters, Gu Danyan had already removed all of his usual sharpness, agreeing with and supporting what she wanted to do.

Putting aside some love, from his revenge at the beginning, to now, when he became his strategist, the two had long since been different.

As the dark clouds dispersed, the silver moonlight gently scattered down. Gu Liuyan seemed to have seen something from afar on the hillside, as she put her veil back on: "When you return to Sky Flame, the Emperor will definitely use it on you. At that time, I still have something to take care of."

"It's already so late. What else do you want to do?" Duan Chenla held her back, a little worried in his heart.

"Indeed, but you should not know about this. You only need to know that your father is an enlightened ruler, and even more so, you do not like the suspicion between brothers for murder. There are some things that I will tell you when I truly arrive at your side." Gu Liuyan seemed to be worried.

Duan Chengrui was completely confused. He followed Gu Daiyan's gaze and looked over. The Sky Fire City was burning with gray smoke, but he could not remember where it was.

As for the ghosts, they had already run over. They carried Gu Daiyan on their backs and jumped into the deep forest.

Even though Duan Chengrui did not recognize it, Gu Liuyan knew every nook and cranny of Sky Flame City.

The place where the water flowed was the fourth prince's residence.

Originally, the ghost had brought her blood and medicine, and she even found some clues, but she never expected that the fourth prince's residence would be in trouble.

The sound of the wind was next to his ears. Gu Daiyan, who was hiding behind his back, asked him: "When you went, how was the Fourth Prince?"

"Not optimistic, and he told me that he wanted to report to you, but in the end he was poisoned by the insect poison, and it was Litchi Bay's doing." Phantom frowned.

"I should have told him about Litchi Bay using poison earlier." A trace of gloom flashed across Gu Daiyan's eyes.

It was a pity that at that time, she only cared about the relationship between Duan Chengyu and Litchi Bay and didn't care about anything else.

After sneaking back to the Sky Flame, the fire in the fourth prince's mansion became even more intense. When Gu Liuyan hurriedly changed into her usual clothes and rushed to the door, the dusty Litchi Bay was sitting at the door while carrying the dying Duan Chengyu.

The water dragon carriage had arrived long ago. Gu Peiyan pushed through the crowd and arrived beside Duan Chengyu. "The closest one is the Qi Residence. Bring it over."

The people behind him looked at each other coldly, then Gu Daiyan stared at him coldly. The few of them finally came to their senses, carried Duan Chengyu and quickly left, followed closely by Liwan and Gu Pingyan. Qi Rou had long been woken up by the shouts and knew that the Fourth Prince was injured, so they quickly vacated a clean room and picked two more smart maidservants to help them settle the wounds.

However, when he discovered that the poison within Duan Chengyu's body had completely exploded out, he discovered that something was wrong, so he made a list and threw it to the ghost. "Take out all the medicine in that box and hand it over to the people who inhale the smoke nearby. The prescription is at the bottom right corner of the list.

Litchi's face was pale and she wanted to take a step forward, but she was glared at by Gu Liuyan. She only managed to push everyone back, then she walked up and grabbed Litchi's collar: "I was thinking about the 4th Prince, so I didn't want to cause you any trouble!"

"I didn't do these things!" Litchi Bay quickly waved his hand, then took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and fed the pills inside to Duan Chengyu.

Gu Danyan frowned, he pulled her away and sniffed the pills inside: "Your master did this?"

"A few days ago, when the disease struck, I sent Master to help save people, and also to help His Highness with some contributions. Since Master didn't want to, we argued for a while, and I said that if that's the case, I will tell His Highness the truth, at worst, I will go to the feudal fiefdom to become a prince, and Master will leave, but today I suddenly came back to tell me not to go out, and then I went into the water, and when I arrived …"

Saying this, Litchi Wan covered her mouth and started crying towards Duan Chengyu, apologizing repeatedly.
