Pen, ink, paper, and ancient scrolls were all useless to Qi Rou.

The Manoux Stone from other countries had been carved into a lifelike carp, and the moment they reached the eighth, their expressions were all different.

Qi Rou's business was everywhere, and there were traces of her where the war had spread. She did not care about the battles, nor did she care about the lives and deaths, but she cared about the value of the skills that were hard to pass on. As a result, she would buy those craftsmen to work for her, and she had many rare treasures in her study.

At this moment, she was staring at the Agate Carp in a trance.

When Qi Lin and Yin Qiufu arrived with their account books, they saw a carrier pigeon flapping its wings and flying away from the window, while Qi Rou's face was overcast. "She wants to settle matters with Duan Chengxuan when he returns, he doesn't care about his body at all."

Just by listening to this sentence, Qi Lin and Yin Gou had already understood what was going on.

"However, if Prince Jing were to return, I believe that the pressure on Prince Zong would lessen a lot." Qi Lin put down the account book and replied, "I had thought that Lord Meng would stand on the side of Prince Zong Ping, but who would have thought that when the Third Prince returned just half a month ago, he would turn around and take care of the Third Prince."

"Of course, as a subject, what Meng Xu wants is peace and stability in the country. Compared to following such a difficult prince like Prince Zong Ping, it's of no use to him." Qi Rou returned to the table, and continued worriedly, "Although she gave birth safely, she is blind. When she returns to Navy Tide, she will need to be taken care of by us, so no matter what, we need to have Prince Zong come visit her twice, to show our determination to the Qi family. Otherwise, I would be afraid that someone would reach out to us."

Gou Yuzhan was stunned for a moment before she sat dejectedly at the side.

Qi Lin squeezed her arm to comfort her, then said, "King Zong Ping will come over after the assembly. He seems to have mentioned that the Emperor is going to send troops to suppress them at the border."

In the past three months, the emperor had issued several orders, and both sides had not stopped fighting. They had to wait for the Tiger Tally to order the soldiers around, but it was difficult for Duan Feng to contact them at the border. The Jing King even used the name of cultivation, so not to mention the Tiger Tally, it was hard to even see two of them.

The ministers and officials of the imperial court all wished that they could beat up Duan Feng and Duan Chengxuan, but they only had the Sixth Prince and support, while the Third Prince and Prince Zong Ping were all speaking up for them. Yet, Princess Dan had spread the news that she was on the verge of death, causing internal and external trouble to seemingly never stop.

However …

In comparison, this is the first time that our Qi family has taken advantage of the promise of a royal family member to mine two mines, so we must send someone to take care of this matter. In addition, she is Princess Erdan, so we must not neglect her status in our residence, and we must not let anyone discover that something is amiss with her. We must select a few trustworthy people to take care of her, and then call Zheng Qiankun back. Qi Rou ordered, but these words were written down on the letter, ready to be sent to Gu Daiyan.

Qi Lin understood, while Yin Qiufu obediently followed beside Qi Rou, "What can I do for you?"

"Take good care of her when she comes, if possible. She will naturally let you do something." Qi Rou was very fond of this younger brother and sister. She knew that although Yin Qiufu was timid, her actions were watertight. Furthermore, this matter was related to Gouyan, so she naturally wouldn't make any mistakes.

At the same time, Gu Daiyan did not return to the inn after meeting the passerby.

Qi Rou wrote out the details of Navy Tide's matter in detail, and densely wrote out two pieces of paper before putting them in. Only after Duan Chengxuan read them out to Gu Danyan did he open his mouth and say, "I didn't think that Duan Chengrui would still speak up for me."

"You and Duan Chengrui are both experts in acting. If you really want me, then you're right. I like broad-minded men." Gu Daiyan leaned to the side, feeling drowsy.

Duan Chengxuan's fingers tightened. "However, the Third Prince is usually very resourceful. If he was able to help Imperial Brother resolve the conflict within the borders today, it would surely be a great achievement. I didn't expect that he didn't mention anything this time."

Gu Liuyan rubbed her eyes and hugged her chest: "If it was me, I wouldn't care about this internal conflict. After all, the Emperor valued tolerance and kinship the most. Choosing this would probably make your brother like this son even more."

"He can see through my imperial brother's intentions." Duan Chengxuan sneered coldly, and his icy cold gaze descended onto Gu Danyan. "If that's the case, then there were quite a few people who came up with ideas and suggestions for him at that time."

Gu Poyan rubbed his nose guiltily and could only helplessly say: "Although I helped him a lot, you clearly knew about all of this, yet you still fell for me. Therefore, I should suspect you, a person who retaliates with his virtue, right?"

"Qingze will help me reprimand you, an ungrateful woman." Duan Chengxuan folded the letter in his hand with a cold expression.

"Qingze will help me teach you, a man who can walk on two boats, a lesson." Gu Liuyan also grunted in dissatisfaction.

The following carriage argument was nothing out of the ordinary.

Ping Chuan and Hong Xiao already knew from today's letter that these two were no pushovers. They didn't want to share their source even if they wanted to. It gave their subordinates goosebumps.

When they reached the mountain forest at night, the first person to notice that something was amiss was Gu Danyan, who had lost his sight.

"There's a problem here." Gu Danyan said as he was carried down from the carriage by Duan Chengxuan.

"Why?" Ping Chuan returned the salute to the carriage.

"It smells good." The tip of Gu Liuyan's nose twitched as she hugged Duan Chengxuan's neck and exerted some strength as well. "See if there are any traces of people passing by."

Duan Chengxuan held the person properly and looked around. "Not a single trace."

"Then let's go. It's not safe here." Gu Danyan tightly embraced Duan Cheng Xuan's neck, and her other leg even kicked twice. "Why did all of you stop here earlier?"

"It's because the road ahead is not easy. Without a guide, it will be dangerous to travel at night." Duan Chengxuan patiently explained, but after he finished speaking, he understood what was going on and once again carried the person up onto the carriage. "Do you think it's Feng Feng Li's or Duan Chengrui's?"

"This is the question you need to guess. I won't comment on it." Gu Danyan sat back in the horse carriage and listened to Duan Chengxuan order his men to return to the town. His heart palpitated as he felt a slight twinge of pain.

Gu Danyan was still sitting in the carriage with an expressionless face, not telling everyone about his discomfort.

After all, the smell she smelled came from the porcelain and crescent seals. Due to the daily cleaning of the black gowns, in addition to having to equip them with some blades, she chose flexible materials. These kinds of materials were easy to be tainted with the smell of blood and the smell of ash, so they needed to be washed all the time.

And the smell of the soaphorn was too familiar.

However, Gu Liuyan didn't know whether Duan Chengrui's men were here to bring his back or to protect her, so he decided not to expose himself.

However, her thoughtful expression was completely captured by Duan Chengxuan.
