Duan Chengxuan could only shut his mouth and carry Qing Yi as he walked out.

He knew that Su Yu Wan was already physically and mentally exhausted from the act of pretending to be in love with him. When he thought back to the past, he felt that Su Yu Wan's every word and action were immoral and she was not a kind person.

Now that she saw Su Yu Wan sending a letter all the way here, she was probably angry.

She opened the envelope as she said, "There's a bubble under your feet. Don't put it down if you're hugging it. Be careful."

Duan Cheng Xuan didn't reply. She hugged Qing Qing even tighter and bowed her head to Qu Li before stepping out of the courtyard.

The letter was short and Qu Li followed suit. He only took a glance at it and said, "How did this Su Yuwan know that Ai Yan was secretly transferring troops?"

"It's just a trick of Aizi. The more she knows, the better it is." Gu Ming Yan's lips curved upwards. She folded the letter and put it in her purse. She then looked at Qu Li. "Your Majesty …"

"Why aren't you changing your words?" Qu Li raised his eyebrows and interrupted her.

Gu Tinyan lowered her head and thought for a moment. She still shook her head and said, "If mother doesn't let me go, I won't scream."

"She's as virtuous as your mother." Qu Li sighed and looked at her, "But you're a bit softer than her. "She still isn't willing to forgive me for what I did back then. This Prince Jing brat has done a thousand times what I've done before. Yet, you are now in harmony with him."

While Qu Li rubbed his head, Gu Danyan only chuckled and said, "Mother naturally has you in her heart. If you reveal some pitiful weakness, mother would probably surrender within a few months."

"Is Prince Jing trying to make you soften your heart like this?" Qu Li grabbed her.

"I am not soft-hearted at all, but there are many things to do. Rather than tormenting each other, it would be better to be honest and repay those who owe me. There will be many dozens of years in the future that we can pester." Gu Danyan patted his purse and smiled: "Your mother has been angry for so many years, so Your Majesty should be patient. Don't be in such a rush. Wouldn't it be better if the beauty was with you in the future?"

Gu Danyan spoke to his heart's content while Qu Li listened attentively. Duan Chengxuan, who was at the door, hugged Qing Yi and laughed softly.

The father and daughter both turned their heads and saw Yun Su standing at the door with a food box. She seemed to have heard what the two of them had said clearly. Her face was filled with anger and she immediately put down the food box, "Yan'Er."

"I …" Gu Tinyan was embarrassed.

"Let's go eat." Duan Chengxuan hurriedly walked over and brought Gu Liuyan away.

He could hear his mother's voice even when he was outside. Gu Mingyan also covered her mouth and laughed helplessly when she saw Qing Qing. "You didn't call me when you saw your mother coming over."

"With aunt in front of me, I wouldn't dare to easily call you that." Duan Chengxuan held Qing Ze in his arms as he looked at Gu Danyan's face filled with worry. He only stuffed Qing'er into her arms and held her by her side with one hand. "I wonder how long this old debt will last."

"But you said you'd have to use the rest of your life." Gu Danyan looked at him in dissatisfaction. When she turned back to look at him, she immediately said with a smile, "If you dare to have any ill intentions, then we will not stop until we are done with each other. We will not let you live either."

As these words drifted along with the wind, Duan Chengxuan knew himself of his future, so he naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

Gu Danyan had always been so bold. He had always carried out his actions and every word he said. He deserved it. He couldn't be considered to be taking revenge on Gu Danyan himself, he was just using the human heart as a blade.

On the other side, Gu Cheng had long since been unable to hold himself back. He had to write three letters before Gu Danyan had finally replied to him.

"There are a lot of things that can happen in this world. Su Yu Wan's bestowal ceremony is just around the corner, and a thousand war horses is not a small number."

With just a few words, she was able to let Gu Cheng know that she was in a difficult situation. On the other side, however, she had long since pacified the people of the Yun clan.

Gu Liuyan had never stopped her support of the Misty Rain Pavilion. Not to mention that she had also used her help to arrange many shops in Yinzhou for her own use. On one hand, it was to flatten the eyes of Prince Zong Ping, and on the other hand, it was also to pave the way for Yinzhou's business.

The carriage had long since been meticulously guarded by Cheng Shan, and Duan Chengxuan's hidden guards were unable to enter Jiang Yan at all. When they were stopped outside the carriage that day, they naturally wouldn't follow.

Gu Danyan reluctantly put Qing Li into Qu Li's embrace. When he got on the carriage and saw Qing Li's current appearance, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Duan Chengxuan's face was also dark, and it wasn't good for him to act out because of Gu Liuyan.

The ghost had already disappeared, and he even told Duan Cheng Xuan the details. He still needed to accompany Qu Hao on some matters in the future so that he could pass on the message more easily.

In this way, only she and Duan Chengxuan were in the carriage.

Gu Danyan was forced to sit on the soft blanket: "My legs have almost recovered by now, this is not winter, do you know how hot it is?"

"Not bad." Duan Chengxuan easily placed her leg onto his lap and lightly kneaded it.

"What about your duties?"

"I helped Yu'er get rid of those useless generals, so he should help me out a little." As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, the horse carriage left.

Gu Danyan had no choice but to stop talking and just held onto his book and didn't let go.

Along the way, Gu Danyan did not have to worry about the cold nights. As long as she could lean into Duan Chengxuan's embrace for a while, her body would warm up, and the hard work would not rest on her shoulders.

Many days had already passed since they'd arrived at Jiang Yan's residence.

He only passed a few silver notes to Lai Xuan and said, "You will be able to use them. Moreover, there are many of these war horses, and now that you and Jiang Yan are secretly working together, it's inconvenient for many people to know about it. You should go to the address on the top and slowly transfer them back."

After examining it carefully, he could see that there were a few pieces of paper mixed within. He carefully accepted the item and did not tell anyone else. He only instructed, "Men, send this to the Gu Estate for a short stay."

Gu Liuyan made a mouth before she left — Ai Qi.

He then got on the carriage.

After the carriage left, Lai Xuan came to a place devoid of people, pulling out all of the paper from the banknotes.

There were five names next to Erdan, a simple map, an antidote, and a piece of paper with the location of the war horse written on it.

And a sentence.

"A thousand horses need to be used confidently. Although Ai Qi can't be trusted, it might be useful."

"What do you mean?" Lai Xuan didn't understand. However, when the sound of footsteps came from behind him, she carefully concealed all of this and carefully placed the small amount of silver notes on top of it into her subordinate's hands.
