The letter sent by the Wind Listening Pavilion did not cause the slightest ripple. Three? The prince remained motionless, while Gu Danyan remained calm. It was only when the two young masters of the Meng Family came over with a letter from Ziming himself: "The Meng Family's two princes would like to see you."

"I'll be back in two days. Tell them that I wish to meet them at the residence in the outskirts." "Two days ago, the two officials recommended by Meng Xu were splashed with dirty water. Five days ago, Prime Minister Gu Sheng delayed the private school and said that the treasury was empty, so he wanted to raise the tax. I believe that Meng Xu came for this purpose."

"King Jing just left. Gu Sheng couldn't wait to take his place and compete with the third prince." As he said this, he brought over some news from Duan Chengrui in the imperial court.

King Jing had already left for the summer, while Gu Sheng had long since stood by his side, allowing many ministers to serve him. Gu Cheng, who stood behind Gu Sheng, was as knowledgeable about Navy Tide's bureaucracy as if he was a tiger adding wings.

"If we don't fight now, we won't have the chance." Gu Daiyan sighed softly, feeling helpless.

Two days later, Gu Danyan had already changed into a plain white cloak and sat in a horse carriage to return to the mansion outside of Sky Flame. Originally, there was a red girl guarding this place, but after Meng Shu came, the red girl went back to Sky Flame's mansion to look after it.

However, when she entered, the courtyard was very clean. On the stone table, she placed a brush, ink, paper, and a piece of tea cake. Hong Lingtong moved a stool to the courtyard and carried a little milk dog.

Meng Xu wasn't wearing any official uniform as he sat beside Meng Shu at the stone table. "I didn't expect that you would actually still be alive."

"I'm already Yun Chen." Gu Danyan was too lazy to explain why he had left the Jing King's estate that year in such a manner.

Feeling helpless, Meng Xu could only put his thoughts of temporarily cooperating with the Third Prince on the table. It was almost the same as what Gu Mingyan had thought of doing previously.

"I will naturally help him with this matter, but he is not ready to make a move yet, so you have to be patient." Gu Liuyan nodded in agreement. She raised her head and saw Meng Xu was still staring at her. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face? "

However, when she came over, she didn't even make any changes to her face.

"Qi Rou is very worried about you." Meng Xu frowned, as he continued, "Although she did have a good life in King Zong Ping's territory, you still haven't received any news."

"With the current situation, people can only slowly communicate with each other, otherwise, it would be a burden. I won't hide it from you, but there are still many informants of the King Jing Clan in the Zong Ping Kingdom." Gu Daiyan shook his head and asked, "What about Qi Rou and the rest?"

"You don't know, Litchi Bay is dead." Meng Xu let out a long sigh, "Originally, I thought she had already returned home, but in that winter, she suddenly went to the front of Prince Zong Ping to pressure him with his life. He wanted to obtain his trust, and in the end … "She was killed by the Consort Xian, afraid that she would insult the reputation of Prince Zong Ping."

Gu Daiyan's hand paused, and then she remembered that it was a few years ago when Litchi Bay entered the Prince's Mansion.

"Then how about Zong Ping Wang …"

"She shall be buried with the identity of Princess Zong Ping." Meng Shu continued as he sized up Gu Danyan with his eyes, "It's better to be famous than to have a look. I didn't think that Miss Gu did not look like a foxy person. She is indeed a good person."

As an elder brother, Meng Shu naturally cared about the people around his younger brother. He gently smiled and said, "Of course. If you don't mind, I'm still willing to work with the doctor to teach them some new medical techniques."

When it came to business, Meng Xu did not interrupt. He only picked up his cup and looked at Gu Daiyan.

"But your identity is not easily exposed." Meng Shu shook his head. "It wasn't easy for me to establish this family business. I can't involve the people under my control because of you. If you want to, you can start a medical clinic yourself."

"But I don't have time to find my own disciple." Gu Danyan shook his head helplessly, "Although I don't know how the situation is right now, but I think that the purpose of the Jing King transferring troops is not just for the throne."

The brothers frowned, as if they didn't believe it.

However, Gu Mingyan knew that even if Duan Chengxuan didn't have patience, he definitely wouldn't do something so stupid as taking the safety of Navy Tide into account. Furthermore, Yueshan City was originally heavily guarded, yet now they were continuing to gather troops there. On the surface, it was said that the most dangerous place was the safest place on the surface, but on the other hand, it was to prepare for an unexpected situation.

Meng Shu couldn't figure it out. Meng Xu held the cup in his hand and thought for a long time before he said in a low voice, "If that's the case, the outsiders are indeed a little restless. However, they don't have the strength to offend us."

"Maybe it's all an illusion." Gu Liuyan disagreed: "We've never fought a battle before, and we don't know what it was like before the storm. But Duan Chengxuan was born on the battlefield, and it's impossible for Navy Tide to rely solely on the will of the heavens to resist an external enemy in the past few years. It's best to be prepared for it early."

"If that's really the case, then Navy Tide's the time to have a change in manpower. If another race were to attack, it would be a little difficult to deal with …" At this point, Meng Xu also felt that Gu Pingyan was right. Although Duan Chengxuan's military operation was wrong, the reason behind it might not only be because of the throne.

Meng Xu hurriedly left as if he wanted to go back and think over this matter in case there were any changes.

Meng Shu looked at Gu Danyan in astonishment, "I heard that you and the Jing King are at odds, but I didn't expect you two to understand each other so well."

"It's just a part of my past. It's getting late, so I should have entered the city earlier. When the time is ripe, I will pay a visit to the city." Gu Mingyan used a cloak to cover half her face, revealing only a faint smile. It was quite a unique sight.

Even after Gu Danyan had left for a long time, Meng Shu was still unable to react.

If it was said that the beauty of a devastatingly beautiful face could be seen from any angle, then Gu Pingyan had delicate facial features. Even though they were stacked together, they were not eye-catching.

After she left, Meng Shu shook his head and took the puppy from the little girl. "She looks really pretty when she smiles."

The little girl smiled as she stuffed the hairbrush into Meng Shu's hands. "Eldest Young Master, those eyes are the most beautiful."

He returned to the Heavenly Flame and it was now raining again.

Gu Danyan braved the rain and returned to the Wind Listening Pavilion. Several ladies were teaching the children in the room, so she walked in slowly with light footsteps. With ghosts beside her, she asked in a low voice, "When will the Third Prince make his move?"

"Wait until King Jing returns." Gu Liuyan was neither arrogant nor impatient. She only smiled at the ghosts: "These few days, we have to take good care of those children."

"You don't need to do anything?" The ghost hesitated.

"Of course, when the time is right, when Gu Sheng shows himself even more." Gu Danyan mumbled to himself. The ghosts quickly followed, as if they had long since gotten used to Gu Danyan's appearance.
