"Yin Gou and Qi Lin have already entered the city." Ghosts hurried over to report.

Gu Danyan had just gotten up from her bed. Her clear eyes were a little muddled as her voice was hoarse from the cold: "It's time, let's stay and wait for the news."

After she finished speaking, she lazily leaned against the pillar of the bed and yawned. "Bring me a set of black clothes. I want to go to the prince's mansion and walk around."

"Today, King Jing's side will surely fall. What else do you want to do?"

"It is precisely because he is about to fall that I wanted to check out the news." Gu Liuyan rubbed the corner of his eyes. ghost could only rummage through his luggage and bring her some black clothes. There were also some thick clothes inside: "What do you need the Military Strategy book for?"

Yesterday, Meng Xu had reported it. He had already been grounded before he asked the justice courts to assist Charlie, but so far, there has been no news of him. Other than the act of panicking, the ministers really haven't done anything. Gu Danyan tied up his hair and allowed the ghosts to put on his disguise.

"Then, I'll bring Silver Twinkle and Qi Lin to see the Third Prince. In another hour, we'll be in court." After helping her tie up her knife, the ghost left.

An hour later, the hall was in an uproar.

Yin Qiulin brought the evidence of Su Yuwan helping people launder money, and a witness who was beaten half to death. Unfortunately, Yin Qiuyi and Qi Lin couldn't go to court, so they could only wait outside the door for news.

"There's actually such a thing!" Duan Cong flew into a rage as she looked in disbelief at the kneeling Duan Chengxuan, her eyes filled with pain.

"Not only that, but Prince Jing had even privately set up a private party to buy and sell the official positions." Meng Xu walked up in front of the third prince and handed two paper slips to his father-in-law. He continued, "There are ten percent of the people in the White Cloud Bank and over a hundred thousand taels of silver. This is the work of a minister supported by King Jing."

Duan Chengxuan only looked indifferently at Meng Xu and the Third Prince, as if he didn't care about these things.

Duan Cong stared at the evidence in her hands as her heart grew even angrier. "The evidence is conclusive! King Jing, what else do you have to say for yourself!"

"This official has nothing to say. However, money laundering was caused by the flood. Most of the silver that I obtained was from the corrupt officials of the various countries. In the end, all of it was taken by the people and spent by the people." Duan Chengxuan even passed a thick account book to his father-in-law as he straightened his back and said, "Besides that, I don't know about the White Cloud Bank's money laundering, but I do know that Jiang Yan has been eyeing them covetously for years."

If the first few words were a rebuttal for him, then the last sentence was a warning to the emperor.

Duan Cong's face immediately darkened. Meng Xu sighed inwardly, while the Third Prince felt indignant.

Currently, there weren't many generals in the imperial court. Jiang Yan's pill was in great condition and she had to be on guard. If she were to downgrade Duan Cheng Xuan to a commoner, it would only become more difficult in the future.

In addition, he had rendered many meritorious deeds during his battle on the battlefield. If he was truly dealt with now, it would inevitably cause everyone to be tongue-tied.

The emperor had no choice but to plunder all his wealth and cut down more than half of his military power. He said that he would be grounded for three months, but he cut down two of the ministers beside him.

After the next dynasty, Duan Chengxuan was unable to find any traces of Gu Sheng, so he could only return home.

The next day, Gu Sheng was stripped of his position and left Sky Fire City due to a serious illness.

Gu Danyan had received the news when the Jing King Manor was raided. When Duan Chengrui came over to discuss some matters with Gu Daiyan, Yin Gou and Qi Lin also wanted to meet her, but she had already disappeared without a trace.

Only ghosts were sitting on the eaves with a jug of wine in their hands. "She has matters to attend to. When she returns, we will leave. She will no longer care about the matters of autumn."

In addition, she had already arrived at the gate of Prince Jing's estate. As people walked in and out, the commoners began to point at her.

After a while, Cheng Shan walked up to her and respectfully said, "Prince said to invite you in."

Gu Danyan walked in. The Prince Jing Residence was almost the same as before, but now that she had entered, she could only pretend that she didn't know the way. She followed Cheng Shan's back in a zigzag manner, with a tall, withered tree that could vaguely be seen behind the tall wall.

Stepping into the study room, the valuable items within had long since been emptied. The walls that were originally hung with paintings were empty, and Duan Chengxuan was wearing a rare set of light colored clothes.

"Young master Yun Chen has been standing at the entrance of my residence for a long time. Do you have something to discuss?" Duan Chengxuan put down the pen and paper in his hand, and the words on it could still be vaguely seen. It should be a letter for the Emperor to see.

"However, I am only curious as to exactly what sort of Heavenly Immortal Su Yuwan is." Gu Ping Wang had long known that you had borrowed his hand to launder money, but now that you know of this, your first reaction was to send a letter to the Emperor, indicating that the things you had asked Su Yu Wan to do would be exposed. Why didn't you just directly drag Su Yu Wan out to block the blade?

"To be able to intercept a letter from Yu'er, you sure are capable." Duan Chengxuan narrowed his eyes at the attendant beside him.

The attendants hurriedly put away the letter, and busied themselves with getting Gu Danyan to sit down.

A cup of tea and a plate of pastries had appeared, but a plate of pastries for the guests had appeared out of nowhere. Gu Daiyan only felt it was strange, when he heard Duan Chengxuan say softly, "If you want to take revenge for your sister, why don't you just hand this letter over?"

When he came back to his senses, Gu Daiyan raised an eyebrow and sneered: "Why don't you come over and see what your relationship with my sister is like?"

"Did you see that?" Duan Chengxuan's gaze descended onto the pastries by her side.

Gu Daiyan's heart trembled slightly. He didn't expect that this plate of pastries was a copy of her habit.

"If that's the case, then you wouldn't know that your beloved Su Yuwan threw away her sister's child's belongings." Gu Danyan took out a jade chip from his sleeve and threw it on the table, "Your friendship with my sister is only mediocre, but I have come to pay my respects to you since you are a good opponent."

"Since I'm already in such a situation, are you here to add insult to injury?" Duan Chengxuan laughed coldly, while Cheng Shan, who was beside him, had gloomy gazes.

"They only thought that they took you down. In my opinion, you just borrowed the momentum to leave and the White Cloud Bank was only a pretense. The so-called dispersing of military power was only a temporary measure." Seeing Duan Chengxuan's expression not changing to one of refusal, he helplessly said, "I won't tell anyone. In any case, we have our own paths of retreat, and if we were to build such a high tower, I won't be able to tear it apart within a day and night."

After saying that, she casually took a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, laughing lowly as she said, "Indeed, it's big sister's taste. Thank you for the hospitality. We'll meet again on the chessboard in the future."

After Yun Chen left, the cup in Duan Chengxuan's hand shattered into pieces as well.

"Gu Danyan, is it that every descendant of your Yun clan has the ability to observe others?" Duan Chengxuan had a face full of killing intent. "Third Prince really did find a good helper."
