The setting sun ignited all the lanterns in the night sky.

These lanterns were hung from the connections between the rooftops. The entire town was brightly lit. Those who had lit the lanterns climbed down the ladder, only to look curiously at the lady sleeping on the table in the restaurant.

Gu Daiyan slept for a while before waking up from her dream. Her unsteady mood after her pregnancy and her dreams were all becoming more and more absurd. Every time she woke up in a strange place, it would make her panic. She tightened her fingers and rubbed her cheeks.

"You're awake."

"I want to blow the night wind." Gu Liuyan went through the coffin and, along with his restless heart, plucked a few pieces of tender green leaves from the top of his head.

"It's late, and there will be more people in the town at night." The porcelain man bent down to help her knead her thighs, paying no attention to the strange looks from the people around her.

"We're leaving tomorrow. I'm afraid this leg and waist won't be able to take it." Gu Danyan yawned lazily as she accepted the porcelain seal with a clear heart. On the other side, her clear eyes scanned the outside of the window, including a lot of people, and a few children sitting and playing around on the street.

Raising the corner of her mouth, Gu Mingyan waved away the porcelain seal and slowly stood up. "I want to go and see those children."

"They're just beggars."

"I like the children of beggars. They are far more crafty than any of the young masters or mistresses in the estate." Gu Danyan walked outside with a smile. Feng Zhu narrowed his eyes, wondering if she was going to do something again. On the surface, he just followed her calmly.

Gu Danyan soon became familiar with these children just because she had enough money.

The children crowded around her for questioning, and Gu Mingyan would hang one arm by her side, maintaining a comfortable posture and asking what they wanted to do in the future, or what food they had in the vicinity.

No problem is out of scope.

Feng Zhu stood at the side and watched the group of children. In his mind, he felt that these children were doing nothing and were as skinny as firewood. None of them were good seedlings for martial arts practice.

Gu Danyan, on the other hand, was silently observing the porcelain until she started to get impatient. She then gently grabbed a child's hand and handed him the fire piston with a smile: "You can use this thing to heat the fire."

It was unknown when the porcelain seal had appeared on fire.

The next moment, the medicine bottle hidden in his sleeve broke on the hay beside him, and the lamp oil inside scattered. Before the sealed porcelain even noticed what had happened, Gu Dingyan had already opened the fire piston and threw it onto the licorice: "This is how this is used."

The flames spread on the dry grass and scared the children around, but they immediately clapped their hands in joy and took the other fire piston from Gu Liuyan's arms. The merchant and the waiter had already picked up a broom and chased after them: "You bunch of sons of bitches!"

"Run!" Someone among the beggars shouted, and a group of children and shopkeepers ran after him.

Gu Danyan was pushed to the side by a group of people, but he found a safe place and slowly stood up. He told the people beside him to put out the fire as if it had nothing to do with him, while a passing aunt grabbed him: "Madam, how dare you get close to the fire with this big stomach of yours!"

She was the one who set the fire.

Gu Danyan didn't say what he was thinking and just took a few steps back.

The fire was not big, but it stirred up quite a bit of trouble in this busy street. When the porcelain seal passed through the crowd and arrived at Gu Danyan's side, she was calmly sitting on the steps of the shop opposite, supporting her aunt with a basket in her hand as she went to find her grandson.

"What kind of game are you playing?" Feng Zhu frowned as he walked to her side, looking at her now unbearably heavy stomach in disbelief.

"What can I do?" Gu Liuyan asked her: "With my body, I can't run anywhere. I'm just angry, and you're not letting me vent?"

"If you are unhappy, you can release your anger on us at any time."

"I'm sorry, besides Duan Chengxuan, I don't want to vent my anger on others. I like to provoke many people and watch you wipe my butt." Gu Danyan raised his hand to stop her from speaking and choked a few times from the smoke.

The few men behind him spread out to see if there was anything strange with the situation, while Feng Zhu pulled Gu Pingyan up, using a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose as he led her back to the courtyard: "Your Highness, please don't try to do too much, everything is useless."

"Even if I tell you what I've done, what can you do to me?" Gu Pingyan let out a soft laugh from his throat and looked at Feng Yue with contempt: "You are indeed very similar to Feng Yue, but I can't be sure that you are really Duan Chengrui's subordinate unless you bring me to see him."

"Your Highness the third prince is now in prison. How should we take you to see him?"

"Now, there are only two possibilities. The first is that all of you are not people of the Third Prince. After all, this is sufficient to make Duan Chengrui and I unable to testify. The second is that Duan Chengrui isn't a prisoner at all, and is instead taking action in the shadows." Gu Danyan narrowed his eyes: "I've watched your group these past few days and have been very sincere to your master. I don't believe that your master is in prison, but you can still take care of me calmly."

Nothing she did would be superfluous.

Feng Xianfeng, who was by her side, swallowed his saliva. He did not say a single word to Gu Mingyan until they returned to the house.

At the same time, Yue Qing had also told her that Gu Tinyan was a thorny woman. Now, she could see for herself that if this prince was truly of assistance to the Third Prince, it would be a great help.

Because of his willfulness today, when Gu Danyan returned to his room, he was still cuffed firmly by the iron chains.

Towards this, she merely sat by the bedside and shook her legs that were about to turn into a radish. At the same time, she impatiently asked someone to come in and prepare something for her.

"Did you notice what she did?" he asked them as they walked to the door, holding their foreheads.

"Nothing unusual." The four of them looked at each other in dismay. At that time, they did not notice anything special about the crowd, not to mention that they were all strangers to this place. What could they do in a farce like this?

Just as the porcelain seal vaguely sensed that something was wrong, the hoarse voice transmitted through the wall, bringing with it a familiar whoop and laughter. "Before tomorrow, His Highness is too used to this place."

"What did she do?" The porcelain seal frowned.

"Whoa, even if I did say it now, this news should have already been passed on to the Wind Listening Pavilion. You'd better prepare to leave as soon as possible." The man's voice trailed off.
