Since it was the matter of the medicinal materials, Duan Chengxuan naturally wouldn't interfere any further. He only allowed Ai Qi and his subordinates to tidy up the house first, while he himself, at the request of Gu Liuyan, retreated to the opposite restaurant to sit and wait.

Once Duan Chengxuan left, Gu Danyan immediately settled this business. While waiting for someone to go buy medicinal materials, she bent over the counter and asked the owner, "I say, boss, why is the trip to Navy Tide so expensive?"

"Right now, Navy Tide's entire border is under martial law. I heard that it's that ninth prince who is plotting a rebellion. We want to help you take this trip, so we can't tie our heads to your belt?"

The escort next to him opened his mouth first.

Gu Daiyan could only turn his body sideways and pass the silver ingot to them without leaving a trace. "Then it's true that I should give you more silver, but my cousin also has people stationed at the border. Why don't you guys give me some information?"

"Madam, these words are all things that everyone knows." The accountant put the silver away with a smile and gave some crushed silver to the escort in the room.

The few of them roared with laughter and were able to clearly describe the situation at the Fringe of Navy Tide.

When he finished speaking, the accountant pinched his mustache and smiled, "Your ladyship is here to give birth to babies, why should you care about the trials of Navy Tide?"

"Isn't this my cousin? I haven't seen him for months. Listening to your words, I don't know if the child in my stomach will be able to see him again." When Gu Danyan said this, he spoke even more emotionally about his cousin, so much so that the other escort escorts almost choked when they heard it.

When my brother came back from Navy Tide, he only said that the Ninth Prince was not someone to be trifled with. On the contrary, it was the Third Prince who wanted to marry our princess that is a coward. The more the escort spoke, the more excited they got.

Seeing that the topic had drifted off, Gu Pingyan did not try to stop her. Instead, he became curious: "This princess doesn't do anything, and you're still calling her nice?"

Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a fool.

"None of our princesses are here to do business. As long as they are kind and kind, it's fine to pamper them."

The accountant chuckled and then stood up. "It seems that you are not someone from Er Dan. You don't know the personality of us Er Dan people."

"What do you mean?" Gu Danyan became more and more curious.

"The current emperor and the crown prince are working hard for us. Aren't we supposed to treat their daughter well?" The accountant smiled and put the abacus back into its original position, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. The emperor of other families is a descendant of the times, and as long as one has the ability, he or she will be surnamed Ju. As his or her adopted son, he or she can inherit the throne."

This was the first time he had heard of this. Gu Danyan laughed: "Then what if this crown prince is useless and violates the criminal law?"

"Of course we have to do things according to the law, but if we don't do anything, then we should also live our lives well. Naturally, we shouldn't cause trouble for the imperial family there." The escort also laughed and slapped his thigh, "But our village is an exception. A few years ago, when we made a big mess here, the teenage crown prince personally dragged some silver to help build a house and reinforced a few nearby cities to surround us. Now, look at this place, isn't it a rich place?"

No wonder the rumours about the simple and honest customs of the people came from somewhere.

Perhaps the news of his adopted son being king was hearsay, but if it was known by the prince, then he would be afraid every day and strive to advance. Naturally, he would be more sensible, and it would be a lot harder than inheriting the throne.

However, when she thought about how Qu Hao was only around twenty years old and had gone to who knows how many places when he was young — helping with such a review made her, who was used to being an older sister, feel a pang in her heart.

After leaving the escort company, he could find out anything he didn't want to hear.

Normally, Duan Chengxuan hated sitting on the first floor when they entered the restaurant, but now, he was separated by a screen and had ordered a table full of dishes to be placed before her.

He was supposed to reprimand him for not even informing her about the incident at the Navy Tide border, but Duan Chengxuan sat her down with his warm palm and personally poured tea for her, so he couldn't say a single rebuke. He only said in a low voice, "I just heard from the escorts that a few years ago, Qu Hao had dragged some silver here to rebuild this place."

"I naturally know about this as well. Honestly speaking, the fact that Erdan was able to survive in this place and the imperial clan was able to win over the hearts of the people is something that I didn't expect." Duan Chengxuan placed some meat into the bowl for her before continuing, "Moreover, we've once received the protection of the Imperial Family here. If you get into any trouble by taking a short rest here, just reveal your identity, and they won't make things difficult for you."

He paused when he picked up the chopsticks and smiled. However, his heart was a little sour, "You have thought this through for me."

"If you don't, you'll have to be on tenterhooks every day in the future." Duan Chengxuan gave her a glare, as he was rather dissatisfied.

"In the future, we'll be even. If you don't say anything now, you won't receive any punishment." Gu Daiyan ate a piece of lean meat, but his eyes were red: "You are always thinking of me, although not like you in the past, but I always remember old grudges."

Duan Cheng Xuan only glanced at her before panicking, and seeing that the tears in her eyes were about to fall, she was at a loss on what to do.

Neither did handing over the handkerchief. He didn't know whether to comfort her or to console her.

Who knew that as soon as the tears ran down her face, Gu Daiyan wiped them with the back of his hand: "I'm pregnant, so I'm sentimental."

The simple sentence caused the corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth to rise as he extended his hand to pinch her chin. When he saw that his usually bright eyes were filled with tears, he helplessly said, "If you're crying, then cry. Why are you still being reasonable?"

"Am I one of those unreasonable women?" Gu Daiyan slapped down his chopsticks: "I am always fair."

"Whatever you say." Duan Cheng Xuan hurriedly coaxed her, then sat beside her and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears away.

He took a handkerchief and carelessly wiped his face before starting to eat. Duan Chengxuan no longer sat across from her, and instead sat on a stool to the side. He waited until Gu Liuyan had calmed down and finished eating, then he picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

Gu Danyan's faint voice came into his ears: "You're not going to tell me about the Navy Tide Fringe?"

After all, he hadn't even eaten a single mouthful of food. Duan Chengxuan put down his chopsticks and frowned as he looked at her. "This news came really quickly, but you don't have to worry about it."

"Then why don't you go back and manage it?" Gu Danyan was anxious.

"I only care about my wife. The Third Prince has to learn how to solve this problem." Duan Chengxuan let out a long sigh, then added a bowl of vegetable soup before placing it in front of Gu Daiyan. "Drink the soup."

"I can't drink anymore." Gu Danyan tried hard not to dwell on the matter of the Navy Tide Frontier Trial, as she covered her stomach with her hands.

"The meat combination is very important." Duan Chengxuan pushed the bowl of soup forward. "If you want to know more about this, then come and threaten me. Don't spread the news to those escort masters. You must know that there are differences between males and females."

"Stop nagging, you never talked much in the past." Gu Danyan picked up the spoon and rolled his eyes.

However, Duan Chengxuan shook his head with a smile and picked up his chopsticks to eat as well.
