"Moreover, you used the name of the fourth prince to protect your own army. Although the fourth prince is not likely to be suspected by the emperor, if they use this as an excuse to make this matter public, then even if the emperor wants to protect the fourth prince, it will be too late." Gu Danyan also furrowed his brows, "If you want to resolve this matter, you still have to meet Gu Sheng or Gu Cheng."

"If the problem lies with Litchi Bay and Gu Cheng, then as long as we send someone to kill them, we'll be rid of all future troubles." Su Yu Wan suddenly interrupted.

The two of them looked at Su Yu Wan in unison. Gu Ming Yan was expressionless as he was not prepared to explain, while Duan Chengxuan beside him said in a light voice, "Yu'er still has feelings for Litchi Bay. Since Gu Cheng has contacted Gu Zi Wu boldly, he naturally has the capital to take the risk and cooperate with me."

"Then he can also bluff …" Su Yu Wan gritted her teeth. She didn't want Duan Cheng Xuan to believe Gu Danyan's words.

Gu Liuyan sneered: "A month ago, His Royal Highness had already lost the trust of the Emperor because he hid the plague, but Gu Sheng is the new Prime Minister, he is in high spirits right now. If someone were to pour dirty water on him, Gu Sheng would add fuel to the fire, even if he can't destroy the King, he will still lose the trust of the Emperor."

Moreover, if Gu Cheng was bluffing, the first choice would be the Third Prince. After all, he's the prince that the Emperor values the most right now, but since Gu Cheng's come to rely on me now, it's clear that he wants to cooperate and do something with me. Duan Cheng Xuan nodded, then looked towards Gu Xuan Yan.

Staring at each other, Gu Daiyan smiled and nodded his head, "Therefore, Gu Cheng actually has a request for you. If you use it appropriately, it would be more of a help."

Gu Cheng was truly intelligent. To be able to have the golden cicada shed its shell right under the Emperor's nose, he definitely had the ability to do so …

"I just wonder what Gu Cheng wants."

"Gu Cheng is very ambitious. Since you want all the military power in this Heavenly Flame, then he naturally wants all the positions in this Heavenly Flame that can speak for himself." Gu Danyan and Duan Chenxuan looked at each other, as the two of them had already understood.

Hua Li intervening in Gu Zixian's affairs time and time again had indeed caused Duan Chengxuan to be dissatisfied.

But for the sake of the greater picture, Duan Chengxuan would naturally endure it for now, but that didn't mean he would just sit there and wait for death.

As for Gu Liuyan, he had thought of Gu Yinzhi. Back then, he had buried Gu Yanzhi for many reasons, but Meng Xu had still managed to protect him at that time. Although he currently did not have any position, he was truly a useful person.

"Yanzhi should still be staying in Meng Xu's house right now. I heard he's practicing martial arts every day. Some time ago, he even went to visit him." Gu Danyan clapped his hands and looked at Duan Chengxuan, "You can promote him a bit, but it can also be considered as a secret signal to Gu Cheng. When the time comes, we'll have a talk with Gu Cheng and things will be simple."

"Makes sense." Now that someone had targeted the fourth prince that he was on good terms with, if Gu Yan could still remember what he once said, then he really would be able to protect the fourth prince. At the very least, it would allow him to live a peaceful life.

"Now that Gu Yanzhi is considered a criminal, he was already sent to the justice courts. If it wasn't for Meng Xu protecting him personally, his life would have definitely been forfeit. How would Big Brother Xuan be promoted in the army?" Su Yuwan also put down her utensils and lightly glanced at Gu Danyan: "Gu Daiyan, you're also Gu Cheng's daughter. Perhaps you and Gu Cheng were secretly spreading the news to trick Big Brother Xuan into bluffing."

Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows. He found it quite interesting.

"You're quite smart. Since that's the case, I won't say much more about it. I'll first go to the Qi Residence for a few days in order to avoid suspicion, and secondly, have some help from the fourth prince." Gu Daiyan's face was full of smiles.

Duan Chengxuan frowned. He had said that he would make it up, but Gu Liuyan seemed as if she was avoiding him and wanted to leave.

Su Yuwan was naturally happy and kept saying yes.

Gu Danyan glanced at these dishes. As long as she thought of how Su Yu Wan had made them, she would lose her appetite and leave in a hurry after saying that she needed to pack up her things. Su Yu Wan happily served Duan Cheng Xuan dinner, but she didn't dare be as willful as before.

After they had their fill, Gu Danyan had already brought Zi and Yu Zhu to the Qi Residence.

Duan Chengxuan let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to settle the matter between Gu Cheng and Gu Sheng.

On the other hand, Gu Daiyan had said that she wanted to stay at the Qi Residence, so Qi Lin and Yin Qiufu had also rushed back. Before this, Qi Ming had always disliked Qi Rou taking care of her family's affairs, but now he had compromised and even spoke a few words with Gu Mingyan.

Her room was by the side of Qi Rou's courtyard. A group of people were living nearby and would be able to look for her anytime.

As soon as they landed, Qi Rou sent people to bring over ten boxes and arranged them on the shelves.

"I did as you told me." Qi Rou glanced at the shelf in disgust before taking the handkerchief and covering her mouth, "Taking care of these things, I can't sleep well at night. Luckily, I found an old woman who understands this path and came over. It's all thanks to Boss Xu who knows so many talented people."

Gu Liuyan only smiled, "I didn't want to at first, but if I were to raise this in the Prince's Mansion, Duan Chengxuan would think that I would harm Su Yu Wan again. Furthermore, I have never used this before, so I can use this opportunity to study it."

Qi Rou's frown deepened. Behind her, Duan Chengyu and Yu Zhu were carrying blankets when they heard their conversation and curiously asked, "What's in this box?"

"Gu worm." Gu Danyan chuckled and opened one of the boxes. Inside was a wooden frame with an iron net holding it in place. Inside the box, there was even the sound of wings flapping.

Yu Zhu's face was deathly pale as she hurriedly ran away. She bumped into Ah Zi, who had rushed in through the door.

A'Zi Qi rushed in weirdly and pulled at the Fourth Prince. "Litchi Bay is crying outside and they're making a racket to see you …" "Aiya, what's that smell? It smells so bad."

"Gu worm." Gu Liuyan picked up the net and showed it to Zi.

A'Zi let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away. Qi Rou covered her mouth, saying that she wanted to go out and puke for a while.

Helpless, Duan Chengyu spread out his hands. "What is this thing used for?"

"When I have this, it'll be easy to find me." Gu Mingyan shook the bag. She was helpless. The insects inside were not that scary. They were bigger than flies, but they were still red and black. They could be said to be very pretty.

"Then the herbs here …"

"It's all poisonous grass for it to eat. It's really precious. It was really great to let a rich friend like Qi Rou do this." Gu Daiyan put the Gu worm back into the box and teased it with a dogtail grass.

Duan Chengyu quickly covered his mouth and ran outside, "I'll go see Litchi Bay and settle this matter."
