"NO!" I am only doing it for you, and it may just be that my method is wrong! "

Qi Yu hurriedly shouted. Even now, she still believed that there was nothing wrong with her idea. She hurriedly told him everything she thought, "As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I will only do more things than Qi Rou."

"You can't even compare to her. Even your husband can see that."

Duan Chengxuan had the same cold expression, but his other hand instead lightly reached towards Gu Daiyan's waist and pulled her to his side.

As he gradually approached Duan Chengxuan, Gu Daiyan became more spirited. She lightly tugged on Duan Chengxuan's back and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qi Yu. "You even wanted to extend your hand and compete with the prince. You truly boast shamelessly."

Qi Yu was suppressed and looked really miserable, but she gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

Qi Rou finally understood. Gu Liuyan's actions were a warning to Qi Yu's husband. King Jing knew what Qi Yu was thinking. On the other hand, he also wanted to find out what Qi Yu was thinking.

"Father once said that all the children in our clan are not allowed to participate in this matter. Your Highness Duke Jing, I truly know nothing about this matter. The Misty Rain Pavilion is still in your service." Qi Rou quickly left the table and knelt down respectfully.

"That's good." Duan Chengxuan's gaze was gloomy and cold as he looked at Qi Yu. "Since you want to participate in the battle of the imperial government, then let it be as you wish."

"Your Highness Duke Jing …" Qi Yu didn't understand.

"Report this to the emperor. The emperor is currently investigating the relationship between the officials of the Sky Flame Country. Right now, it's an official collusion. Who knows how many things we've done in private. Let's see if the third prince is willing to wipe out his relatives." Duan Chengxuan glanced at Cheng Shan.

Gu Daiyan leaned into Duan Chengxuan's embrace as she understood the situation, "That's great, but this matter will definitely implicate the Qi Clan. What does Your Highness think?"

"From the looks of it, it's time for Tian Yan to open a new rouge shop."

Duan Chengxuan's light words had completely frightened Qi Rou and Qi Yu.

After the third prince was favored, the emperor began to investigate the matter of the officials protecting him. He believed that the eighth prince had made a huge mistake because he had been instigated by an official, so he had to change a lot of officials during this month.

If the emperor knew that the entire Sky Flame was colluded by officials and merchants, Qi Yu wanted to recruit court officials and officials, and even wanted to use the merchant's hand to reach the imperial family, if the emperor knew, she would definitely send people to capture them, the criminals, as an example for others.

"I hope that you will not do this, Your Highness. I will bring my sister back to the manor to discuss this with my father." Qi Rou quickly said.

Behind her, Duan Chengxuan lightly pulled her and said in a deep voice, "This is also not bad, but I will only give you one day's time. If you still insist on interfering with the imperial government, then there will be a imperial report tomorrow."

Qi Rou and Qi Yu hurriedly nodded.

Duan Chengxuan helplessly glanced at Gu Daiyan, and his gaze instantly became much gentler. He pulled her hand and said, "The weather today is not bad. Follow me to the lake."

"Not bad." Gu Qing Yan chuckled. Before she left, she told the servant beside Qi Rou to pass on a message so that Qi Rou did not have to worry.

In fact, it was quite a coincidence that Duan Chengxuan had wanted to meet many capable people on the cruise liner, and the people around him were all over the lake. It was not easy for people to overhear their conversation, and they were called over by Gu Liuyan when they were halfway there.

But now, he sat on the horse and held Gu Danyan in his arms. Seeing that she was wearing her veil slowly, he only said softly, "Qi Yu's matter is not to die, yet you want me to come over and make things worse. Why do you want me to do this?"

"Naturally, because this matter is related to Third Prince." After putting on the veil, Gu Liuyan took out a rattle drum from her belt to play with it. Duan Chengxuan also pulled on the reins and slowly walked forward, then she quickly backed away a bit before saying, "Since Third Prince wants to settle the matter of the officials taking care of him, then he naturally has to settle the matter of the officials colluding with him. If he doesn't get rid of her now, he'll be implicated."

"What do you mean?" Duan Chengxuan retracted his arm around her waist as he slowly walked.

Protecting an official is not something that can be solved in a single day. After all, the emperor has his own considerations, but if the officials colluded with the emperor and let him know that the entire Heaven Flame is a battlefield under the imperial court, then he would naturally be furious. It is possible that his clan would be made up of nine people, but Qi Yu's husband is under the command of the third prince and Qi Rou is under our control. Gu Daiyan shook his head helplessly.

"Since both of us have suffered losses, why don't you think that the Third Prince has the intention to shield us?"

"If he really wanted to cover up his comrades, he wouldn't actually ask to settle the matter of officials protecting each other. This matter is just a group of merchants having ambitions, but the current situation is that you and the third prince are on equal footing, and you guys are also involved in this matter. Who do you think was the one taking advantage of this?" Gu Danyan helplessly turned her head to look at Duan Chengxuan and lightly nudged him on the waist with her elbow. "I say, Prince. You can't still not understand, right?"

"Understood." Duan Chengxuan had a faint smile on his face as he made the horses gallop even faster. "Looks like none of those princes have any good intentions. I think we should take care of them."

"It's all my fault for causing such a ruckus. Qi Yu hated me for pushing her husband. I don't know which prince it was, but the eighth prince is most likely to be the one behind all this." Gu Danyan sighed softly as she said this.

Duan Chengxuan's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he also understood how to handle this matter.

If he was this scared, then Qi Yu and Qi Rou could have settled the matter privately. Even if they couldn't be of use to him, they couldn't have become his obstacles either.

Arriving at the lakeside, Duan Cheng Xuan brought Gu Xuan on the boat and wore some bamboo clothes. Gu Xuan had never seen these strategists before, so she just lazily leaned on the soft couch and ate some fruits.

These advisors were only talking about matters concerning the civil officials of the court, such as how to win over the court officials or how to deal with the matters raised by the third prince.

Gu Danyan listened and listened. He had his own thoughts, but he didn't say them out loud. He only whispered a few words into Duan Chengxuan's ears while the few of them rested, appearing even more intimate.

After chatting for a long time, the few of them felt their mouths go dry. The dance also came up, and a cute girl brought a few snacks in front of Gu Daiyan. With a worried expression, she looked up and said, "Your Highness, young master Wang Mo was assassinated a few days ago and has suffered light injuries.

Gu Danyan's movements froze. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard a sound piercing through the air. Duan Chengxuan, who was beside him, raised his hand.

He seemed to be holding an arrow.
