The next morning, in front of the Heavenly Flame Mansion's yamen's office, the sound of drums could be heard.

Wang Mo was sitting cross-legged in front of the yamen's entrance, dressed in black. Next to him were two bone ash urns, and a brush that had long since disappeared from sight.

On the door of the yamen, there was a huge word of grievance. Zheng Qiankun brought a group of refugees to kneel in front of the yamen. The guards of the third prince's residence were there to protect them and protect them.

On the back of the horse, Duan Chengrui, in his official uniform, rode his horse through the streets of the Sky Flame, heading straight to the palace hall in order to report the situation to his father.

At a corner not far away, Gu Danyan and ghost were sitting on the wonton stall, watching everything that was happening there.

Gu Danyan quickly finished the wontons in her hands and hooted for another bowl. At the same time, she knocked on the side of the ghost bowl: "Watch carefully, remember it well."

"Remember what?" The ghost did not understand. He switched the chopsticks in Gu Daiyan's hand to a spoon and stared at her. How could he eat wontons with chopsticks?

"The first step to changing the weather." Gu Danyan smiled happily at him, while her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Before today, who knew that Tianyan had a Third Prince who never left his house? But after today, the citizens of Navy Tide will only know that Third Prince Duan Chengrui walked the path of righteousness and was willing to walk the path of a sovereign."

As soon as he said that, the others who were eating wontons looked at the door in confusion.

Many people only knew that the Third Prince had avenged the wrongdoings of those people on the small street, but today, there was no difference at all.

The people did not know, but the ghosts knew.

The numerous letters sent by Gu Daiyan made the Third Prince do many things in secret.

By the time noon arrived, the direction of the wind had already changed greatly.

The Third Prince, Duan Chengrui, advocated planting flat lawns everywhere to control the flood and enlisted people to maintain them year after year. In addition, he also proposed to write a book on the management of the river, which would distribute water from various areas to dry lands and reduce taxes for three months in times of great disaster.

In addition, as discussed with Gu Poyan previously, the division of military power was twice a year, the recruitment of talents was limited to 120 officers at the fifth rank and above, the annual inspection of all the officials was conducted, and even the great crimes of the nine clans was abolished. The future generations of sinners were also allowed to obtain a reputation, establish a private school, and be assigned to a civil or military department …

From the major events of the world, to the protection of the officials of Sky Flame City, to the private school being expensive and only accepting noble children, and so on and so forth.

He spoke for more than two hours before he mentioned the matter of Duke Jing's suppression at the end of the conversation. Instead, he spoke without any sort of prejudice, "The Emperor is intelligent, and has helped many of the citizens accomplish a great deed, but it is not good to conceal the matter. Father asks that you first send someone to save your people from danger, and then carefully investigate this matter.

Originally, Emperor Duan Cheng was furious when she heard about the concealment of the news, but Duan Chengrui's gentle words caused him to calm down a lot. She only sent people to settle the matter, then sent people to organize the matters mentioned by the Third Prince, sent people to investigate them one by one to come up with a feasible solution, and even appointed that in the next five years, the authority to manage the river should be completely handed over to the Third Prince.

And this news was actually brought back by the two siblings, Qi Rou and Qi Lin.

After hearing all of this, Gu Mingyan, who was in the Hundred Flavors Tower, felt relieved. She happily ate her food and said, "He really has the ability to do so."

"Didn't you teach him these things?" Qi Lin clicked his tongue. He did not have a good impression of the Third Prince and only believed that the Third Prince was just kind and had been relying on Gu Daiyan.

Yin Qiufu glared at him, stuffing a mouthful of food into his mouth. Qi Lin had no choice but to say more.

Zhu Yan had not planned to follow them, but the two of them liked Silver Wing, so they acted shamelessly. Zhu Xie was always straightforward and sneered: "I see that Third Prince is gentle and useless."

Qi Rou held her cup as she thought about it carefully. "The Third Prince doesn't look that smart. These words don't seem like they were spoken by him."

"I helped him change those words because the emperor came looking for me before. I know what the emperor and empress dowager's views are." Gu Liuyan chuckled and bumped into the ghost beside her: "I'm right, they don't believe me …"

Phantom seemed to know something, rubbing his nose with a guilty look on his face, "If you hadn't told me for four hours, I wouldn't have believed it."

"What is going on?" Zhu Yan impatiently glared at her. The others all looked over; he didn't like to keep them in suspense.

"I think it's probably been seven years since the Third Prince planned all this. He gave so many ideas to the Emperor, and the Emperor practically agreed to it all. I'm afraid that long ago, he probably mentioned it many times, but today, it's the first time he's made the Emperor look straight at him." Gu Liuyan held his face in his hands and laughed: "And as far as I know, there are a lot of people living in this Heavenly Flame. No wonder this Heavenly Flame would reject outsiders. Every inch of land has a master."

Everyone was shocked, while Qi Rou frowned slightly, "Why are we oblivious?"

"You didn't remember this Third Prince before." Gu Danyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The crowd finally understood that what the Third Prince had done was to take advantage of the fact that the number of people who had gathered here had dwindled to a small amount.

The few of them thoughtfully ate. The Scarlet Scorpion had said many times that the imperial family did not have any good things, and Zhu Yan did not agree with it.

After everyone had finished eating and dispersed, Gu Daiyan followed Qi Rou back to the Gu Residence. The Fourth Prince was deeply poisoned and had yet to fully awaken. He had been waiting at Litchi Bay all night and had not been able to drip a single drop of water.

Gu Liuyan put the food box on the table and called to her.

Litchi Bay glanced at her with red eyes, "I heard about the Third Prince's matter."

"This has nothing to do with you." Gu Danyan frowned.

"If Third Prince were to ascend to the throne, does it mean that Your Highness and I would have a place to settle down? "You kept saying that you are good friends with His Highness and that you are also the princess consort of Duke Jing. Could it be that you are completely indifferent to this matter?" Litchi Bay's voice rose again and again, and tears also began to fall.

If it was before, Gu Danyan would definitely leave without hesitation.

However, after hearing the narration, she lightly clicked her tongue and gave Litchi a slap without hesitation.

"Wake up, the person who did not harm the fourth prince is me." Gu Danyan looked at her flushed cheeks and placed a hand on her chin, forcing her to look at Duan Chengyu. He whispered into her ear, "Whether it's you or Duan Chengxuan, none of you are worthy enough to question me about the Fourth Prince. You clearly see, whether you want the throne to be next to the emperor, or the title of imperial concubine, or perhaps … and Duan Chengyu for the rest of his life. "

With that, Gu Ming left the room without even returning his cigarette. The ghost at the door suddenly opened his eyes. "You are always a good person."

"What good people do can be even worse than what evil people do." Gu Danyan looked at the ghost and smiled helplessly: "How do you know that what I have done today is a good thing? As long as the dust has not settled, you will not be able to see clearly what's right and what is wrong."
