Gu Danyan slowly got up from the bed and leaned on him, "The armies of Navy Tide have been in a rugged state for a long time, and even the promotion of officers and officers have to be completed within a decade. With so many people staying in their seats for so long without any reason, it's only natural for something to happen."

Duan Chengxuan had no choice but to get off the bed and personally carry the porridge back to the bedside.

Since he had already achieved his goal, he did not plan to stay in the corner and only said that Yun Wan would temporarily return to the capital to report to him that he was safe.

"Mother, why haven't you come here yet?" Gu Danyan pushed away the bowl in Duan Cheng Xuan's hand.

"If there were still some space beside you, Mistress would not have to hug the little Young Master and not let him go." As Ziming spoke, he glanced at Duan Chengxuan with a deeper meaning, but in the end, his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Gu Liuyan pursed his lips. He didn't really want to eat anymore.

Ever since she had reprimanded him for a moment, it was rare and rarely to be seen again in the future. Even if they met, Duan Chengxuan's skin would be as thick as a city wall, and not only would he yell mother's name, he would even lean on her side like a great Buddha, refusing to leave no matter what.

At this point, his mother could only helplessly smile, but not too often. The only sound that could be heard was his mother's voice coaxing the child through the window.

"I forgot my daughter when I had a grandson, that's all I can say." Gu Danyan lightly sighed, but Duan Chengxuan caught him off guard and stuffed him with a mouthful of porridge. Subsequently, Duan Chengxuan's voice sounded beside his ear. "Get down to business."

Gu Liuyan coughed twice, but he was unable to clearly see the smile on Duan Chengxuan's face, so he could only lower his head and eat obediently. In his heart, however, his thoughts were different.

Earlier, although she had only stayed by Duan Chenrui's side for around two days, if one were to think about it carefully, Feng Zhu had once tried to confuse her time and location on the road, and all of this could be caused by Duan Chengrui. On the other hand, this person was practically seen through by them, and everything he did was thoroughly investigated.

One was meticulous while the other was high-profile. Then why was Duan Chengrui defeated?

Just as she was thinking, Hong Xiao also opened his mouth, "In fact, the border trials are getting increasingly chaotic. Some of the twenty thousand soldiers are not Navy Tide people, and from the looks of it, they somewhat resemble Jiang Yan. On the other side, Sang Ning also betrayed them."

"Rebel?" Duan Chengxuan's eyes narrowed. Even Gu Daiyan came over and asked, "Didn't you bring Sang Ning here earlier because of his loyalty?"

"I thought so." Duan Chengxuan put down the empty bowl, then went to fill a bowl of hot soup and another small plate of food, before placing it on the small stool beside Gu Danyan and continuing to feed her. He looked at her obedient appearance and continued, "But it isn't impossible for him to rebel."

Gu Daiyan took a sip of the soup and shook his head: "Hurry and tell me."

"Our royal family once killed Sanning's family, so the only ones who stayed to serve the royal family were him and Hong Xiao. However, Hong Xiao was a side branch of the royal family, and since he was an orphan who was abandoned, he was very loyal, but Sanning's wife and children were all killed in the market. He harbored hatred in his heart, and his loyalty to the royal family was only because of the oath he made that day." "The Sanning Clan values their oath. That year, they entered the Navy Tide clan because of the destruction of their nation and family. In the end, because of the destruction of their family, the remaining children had intentions of promoting them, but it was difficult for them to regain their former glory."

"So what is his oath?" Gu Daiyan chewed on the vegetables in his mouth and actually felt that the taste was pretty good.

"To serve the Emperor." Duan Cheng Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly. "A few days ago, I still had a high chance of winning, but now that he's rebelled, it means that he thinks there's someone more suitable to become Emperor."

Gu Daiyan didn't expect Sang Ning to be this kind of person. However, just as he thought about it, Gu Daiyan groped and grabbed Duan Chengxuan's hand. Even if he couldn't see, he still pretended to look at him, "You lied to me again?"

"Is that so?" Duan Chengxuan intentionally dragged his voice a bit, and even his voice had a trace of a smile.

"If that's the case, why would he help you cultivate his power? When you were still young, he also said to me that if I wasn't pregnant, he wouldn't appear. Doesn't that mean that his oath is to serve you two brothers and his descendants?" Gu Liuyan leaned forward suspiciously: "I said I'm not lying."

"I merely wanted to see if you were also the kind of woman who would be stupid for three years after getting pregnant." Duan Chengxuan moved away the small plate of food with one hand, but with the other hand he held the back of Gu Daiyan's head and pressed her into his embrace, "I was the one who arranged Sanning's betrayal. Compared to being on guard against Duan Feng, I should have paid more attention to Duan Chengrui and Mu Qing."

"What does this have to do with Mu Qing?" Gu Danyan raised her head from his embrace, but unfortunately, it was still pitch black in front of her. She simply leaned against his chest as her other hand grabbed onto Duan Chengxuan's waist: "Don't touch him."

After slightly loosening his grip, Duan Chengxuan rubbed her head and said, "Ever since Mu Qing disappeared, I've sent Sang Ning to look for him. He's always been advancing towards one goal, and if he goes renegade, then it'll prove where Mu Qing is, understand?"

"Where did that Hong Xiao and Sang Ning go?" Only then did Gu Danyan remember Hong Xiao.

Unfortunately, no one replied, but the palm on his head slightly increased its strength, "He left the official documents behind long ago. As his subordinate, how could he watch the intimate relationship between us?"

"Intimacy for what?" Gu Mingyan waved her hand away, feeling a little embarrassed instead.

In this era, everyone should have their own rules and regulations, and there were all sorts of unwritten rules that were applied to people. But perhaps it was because she was used to flirting with people, so she became a little unrestrained. Now, Duan Chengxuan learned from his habits, and no matter if it was his mouth or two hands, he had to keep warm.

However, Gu Daiyan couldn't see anything. As he spoke, he forgot that there was someone else around …

"Then you go and see, where did Sanin go?" Gu Liuyan slapped his thigh.

"What does it matter to you where Sanin went?" Duan Chengxuan lightly patted the back of her head and said in a half serious manner, "Sang Ning can already be your father, and he doesn't look too good either."

"…" In any case, they couldn't leave this topic!

Gu Danyan lay back down on the bed angrily, but was pulled up to eat a good meal. He let her rest, so angry that his teeth itched. He didn't even want to mention the name of the ghost.

However, Duan Chengxuan felt that she was venting quite a bit of anger these past few days.

When Zhang Liangshan was called over to discuss pharmacology with her, he sat down by the side and looked at the document in his hands with a clear conscience. He had only read half of it when he felt that something was amiss.

Duan Feng had sent people to build a chain bridge at the Fallen Water Pass, and she even sent fire thunder to break through the river that was in the Fallen Water Pass.

If this was the case, then it meant that if one wanted to live forever, then the river that led to the entrance of the water was necessary.
