The new country had just been established, and its foundations were unstable.

There was no gorgeous palace. Although Su Yu Wan had been bestowed the title of princess, she had only chosen a crowded little courtyard for her.

The guard outside the door merely gave her a disdainful look. "If it weren't for the fact that you are the king's flesh and blood, you would have been sent to Caishikou long ago."

"What did I do wrong?" Su Yuwan asked subconsciously.

"Now that the flames of war have spread, you are actually instigating the two great nations, Cang Lan Dan. Nowadays, people in the new nation are already in danger, if they really provoked the two great Buddhas, everyone knows that there will be no good results." The contempt on the guard's face became even more apparent, "If you know what's going on, you should just wait obediently."

"Can you help me deliver this letter to the Jing King?" Su Yu Wan quietly passed him some silver pieces.

That person's expression changed, but he still kept the silver. "I'll give you four hours to write. If you're late, you'll be changing shifts."

"I know." Su Yu Wan quickly entered.

After hurriedly writing a letter to the guard, Su Yuwan's gaze also turned cold.

Since she had already lost all her protection, she could also do what she had done before.

Why wouldn't she know how to play with people's hearts and gossip?

However, what she didn't know was that after the guard left, he handed the letter over to Gu Sheng.

After reading the contents of the letter, Gu Sheng coldly laughed and passed the letter to the person behind him, "Deliver it to father, he will know what to do."

The person behind him quickly left. Gu Sheng, on the other hand, had arrived at Su Yu Wan's courtyard. He had seen this person in Sky Fire City before, but now he saw that Su Yu Wan's right leg was a little unnatural.

"Your old wounds have yet to heal. If you really treat me like a princess, won't you treat me well?" Su Yu Wan put down the pen and paper in her hands: "Didn't Gu Qing Yan send me here to torture me?"

"Why are we helping Gu Meiyan torture you? What is she? " Gu Sheng smiled as he sat down, placing the pastries in front of Su Yu Wan.

Su Yu Wan suspiciously looked at him, her fingers lightly clenching into a fist.

If she couldn't help Gu Cheng overthrow Gu Cheng, what should she do?

"She just wants to make you lose face, but she can't find a good place to send you here." Gu Sheng naturally knew the meaning behind her actions. The letters between the two of them were sent by the Wind Listening Pavilion.

Gu Liuyan had only told him that Su Yuwan's goal was to destroy Gu Cheng.

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng's requirement for him was to torture Su Yuwan. The best way was to take her out to fend her off with a knife, allowing all the dirty water to be poured onto her body.

Gu Sheng had no way of understanding what Gu Danyan meant, but he also knew that it was necessary to start a fight between the two of them. So he said in a low voice: "But now that you have been rejected by others, not only do I want to abandon you, but I also want to use your final bit of relationship with Prince Jing, Duan Chengxuan."

"What?" Su Yu Wan raised her eyebrows.

"King Jing has always treated you the same. If we can get his guarantee, the war situation in the new country might be different."

Hearing this, Su Yu Wan laughed coldly: "So, he won't let me go. He will leave me behind as though I'm a proton."

"Unless you display more intelligence, or show your most advantageous side, it's impossible for you to take even half a step out of the new country. However, Father will still pressure Duan Chengxuan from beginning to end, until he compromises." Gu Sheng poured a cup of tea for himself, his face still unchanging as he lied.

Gu Cheng had never felt that Su Yuwen was of any use to him.

Even Duan Chengxuan wasn't one who stood on Su Yu Wan's side.

Su Yu Wan held onto her clothes tightly. These things seemed to be within reason.

"Then are you telling me all these because you have other plans?" She sneered and put down the pastry in her hand.

"Unlike father, I only want Duan Chengxuan's help." Gu Sheng drank a cup of tea and gently put it down. "But I can't guarantee your safety either. I can only inform you, and you have to figure out the way yourself."

The corners of Su Yuwan's mouth lifted. She had not expected that Gu Cheng's child would be so ambitious. She had no other choice now. Now that she was such a good partner, she naturally would not give up. "I agree."

"Miss Su is a smart person." Gu Sheng smiled lightly. Before he left, he only glanced at the pastries once before leaving.

After leaving Su Yuwan's courtyard, Gu Sheng sent a trusted aide to inform Gu Daiyan of this matter. He then went to Gu Cheng's study room alone and saw a smile on his face. He quickly asked: "Father, is there a problem with that letter?"

"This woman is extremely stupid, and she still wants Duan Chengxuan to send troops on her behalf. Truly laughable." Gu Cheng sat on a bench and threw the letter onto the ground, "She really thought that Duan Chengxuan was only interested in her from the beginning to the end."

Gu Sheng picked up the letter, pretending to look at the letter before chuckling, "I've just seen her, but I didn't expect her to even want to encourage a relationship between father and son."

"What is it? A beauty's scheme? " Gu Cheng glanced at Gu Sheng doubtfully.

"That's not the case. She indicated that she knew quite a few things from Duan Chengxuan and only hoped that I would be able to help her use them and help her send messages. Afterwards, she would bring Duan Chengxuan to help me seize the throne." Gu Sheng intentionally said this.

Gu Cheng raised his brows, but didn't say anything as he let Gu Sheng leave.

Gu Sheng quietly made his way back to his own residence, where a broken jade carving was placed.

It was the birthday present from the market that Hua Li had gotten for him, but the present was still there, and the flower pear had long since died.

Gu Cheng valued his son more than his daughter, believing that his daughter was useless and that he could easily give up on her.

Now that he had grown up, he had a deep friendship with the flowers and pears. But now, Gu Cheng had put his daughter's life on the line, along with all of his wives and aunties' lives, to rest in the Yellow Springs.

"Hua Li, I hope that you will be able to see that day coming from the underworld." Gu Sheng's fingertip slashed across the broken jade carving as he closed his eyes.

Ever since Gu Cheng had given up his life, he was no longer that filial puppet.

Snow swirled in the air, and everything in front of him was covered in silver clothing.

The icicles hung from the eaves of the houses, only allowing the thin sunlight to shine through.

Gu Liuyan bent over and took the letter from Gu Sheng. Under the shouts of the children, she distributed the candied fruits that she had prepared a long time ago.

Duan Chengxuan held onto Qing Jian as they walked out of the clothing store, a backpack on his back. He only glanced at the few words on the letter and frowned. "You're that confident that Gu Sheng will help you?"

"Not really, but he's smart." Gu Daiyan put away the letter and reached out to grab Qingze, but he was cut off by Duan Chengxuan midway. He only lightly held onto her ice-cold wrist.

"A cold wind is blowing, yet you are waiting here for the letter that is extremely important to you." Duan Chengxuan pulled her back with one hand and held onto Qing Qing with the other.

"How can this not matter?" Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him and didn't resist, "I can't wait to see the expression on Su Yuwan's face after she found out your true face."
