C475

The so-called capital was not far from the border.

The reason was that since ancient times, Er Dan had occupied an enormous territory and guarded this border area of the Northern Desert. On the other side, there was a large area of Feng Shui treasure land.

It was different from Jiang Yan dividing people into three, six, nine levels, and also different from Navy Tide who was the sky. In this dan, only the strong were respected, but it also didn't like to humiliate the weak. There was a difference between the civil and military, and it didn't interfere with each other.

Even so, along the way, many citizens had praised and belittled the emperor. However, after listening to him carefully, it was because there were only a few citizens, but there were many schools. Everyone had some experience, but their development could not compare to Jiang Yan.

In front of the capital, Gu Danyan was in the carriage, pressing Lai Xuan's shoulder and smiling as he placed the poison into his mouth. On the other side, the soldiers were trembling in fear and didn't say a word.

"You truly are an unyielding stone. You forced me to use this precious medicine on you."

Gu Danyan's slender hand grabbed his chin and lifted it up gently. Even though Lai Xuan's eyes were red and veins were popping out from his neck, the poison had already been swallowed into his stomach and was unable to be spat out.

"I'll give you the antidote every seven days. If you play any tricks on me, I'll go over to Gu Cheng and poke you in the head. I'll see if he wants a smart daughter like me, or an obedient chess piece like you." Gu Daiyan released his chin and rubbed it as if he was trying to please his. He smiled and said, "This medicine is very expensive, but as long as you don't get sick, I won't hurt you. Don't worry."

The soldiers beside him shivered. Lai Xuan, on the other hand, couldn't move because of the medicine. Her heart was dead.

It had only been a few days on the road, but Gu Tinyan always had the means to force him to speak. He didn't use torture or threats, he only used a few soft tendons to whisper in his ears every day.

Today, she had exhausted all of her patience before being poisoned.

The soldiers by the side were all terrified. Lai Xuan was unbeknownst to them, this princess was not merciful to Lai Xuan, instead, she had treated him ruthlessly. The one who lightly spoke out in anger felt ashamed, while the one who spoke heavily pressed him down to the ground, smiling as she promised to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The few soldiers had initially thought that the princess was a beautiful lady, but now it seemed that they only felt that she was a smiling face. Not only that, they felt a sense of respect towards the strong.

"Wipe your hands." The soldier hurriedly brought a handkerchief over. "If there's some poison left, it won't be good."

He kicked Lai Xuan lightly on the calf: "Thanks a lot, but General Lai Xuan eats soft but not hard. In the future, I will treat him well. As for those soldiers, I see they are all in a daze. As for Lai Xuan, let's just eat and drink to our hearts' content."

The soldier was slightly shocked. He knew that Gu Danyan meant that he wanted them to not hurt him, so he nodded in agreement.

This princess was indeed kindhearted.

Although it was an old trick, Lai Xuan still felt that the poison was worth it.

The capital was always bustling with activity, but it did not have the gentle appearance of Navy Tide. The women were bargaining and scolding, and the cheers of men wrestling could be heard in the streets. There were many shops on the street, but there were also many stalls on the ground.

Gu Danyan thought for a while: "Why don't we get off and leave, or else we probably won't be able to see His Majesty at night."

Before the soldiers could say anything, she had already covered half her face with a scarf, tied her hair up high, and jumped off the carriage in a dexterous manner, looking exactly like a chivalrous hero.

The soldiers had no choice but to get off the cars and follow at a leisurely pace.

Gu Daiyan slowly walked down the road. Although it was a bit impatient to be pushed around, it was still a bit novel.

The people of Er Dan always seemed to know how to take things from other people to use. Although they didn't like innovation, they were all very happy, not to mention the real weapons on the stage and the history books in the private school.

At the end of the day, the sun had set in the west as they came to the palace gate.

The palaces in front of her were made of dark stone walls. The atmosphere was chilling, but because of the red lanterns hanging on the walls, they were much gentler. Only when she entered the palace, did she feel a slight sense of pressure, and she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is your majesty?"

"His Majesty is a man of war, but he only likes to spar. He always likes to conduct private interviews and bring back some strange things from all over the place. He's a good emperor." The soldiers behind him chuckled.

"Then who should we leave the politics to?" Gu Liuyan felt even more confused.

"Of course it's the current crown prince." The soldier said helplessly, "The Crown Prince is only nineteen now. When he marries tomorrow, he will be able to take the throne when he is 23 or 24 years old."

"Why did he wait until he was in his twenties? It's time for him to become more sensible."

"Er Dan has never been ruled by a young man before. The Emperor should have at least twenty-four years old. Only at this age would the Emperor be promoted to the throne after gaining a bit of insight and having gone to some places." The soldier quickly said. However, Gu Tinyan raised the corner of his mouth.

The soldiers were slightly stunned – it turned out that the princess also had such a soft and gentle expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Gu Danyan was thinking, "In the end, her knowledge is too shallow, and the world doesn't necessarily have to be as well-behaved as in her previous life." With this kind of inheritance, it wasn't bad for her to come and go.

"That is to say, when His Majesty ascended to the throne back then, it was only because the crown prince has yet to reach adulthood?" Gu Danyan asked with a serious look on his face.

The soldier nodded seriously, causing Gu Daiyan to not know whether to laugh or cry.

It was hard to tell if these people were innocent or not, but when they thought about it carefully, it was no wonder that they chose such a good emperor. They didn't seek for the bloodline, nor did they seek for merits.

Even after entering the palace, he still maintained a prim demeanor.

This was reasonable as well. Only with a certain degree of relaxation could peace be maintained within the palace.

As they entered the study, they saw a man in a dark blue robe writing furiously on the table. Although he was old, his eyes were sharp and stern, even his hand holding the pen was strong and forceful.

As soon as Gu Danyan entered the door, that person raised his pair of sharp eyes.

Their eyes met, and before that person could say anything, Gu Daiyan had already opened his mouth: "Jiangyan Fringe City, is His Majesty willing to take it into his pocket?"
