Only then did Gu Danyan feel completely relieved.

Qingze, but her grandfather left her a companion.

Their father's reason for going to the temple this time was merely because Prince Jing was busy with his affairs. As parents, they naturally hoped that their daughter and their future grandson would be safe, not to mention that Gu Cheng had recently gotten sick and was making use of this opportunity to visit the temple.

”Miss, Miss Liu'er got someone to bring a lot of food from the Wind Listening Pavilion just now.” She set a small basket aside.

Speaking of which, the Wind Tower was also quite mysterious. They took care of their own taste to their heart's content.

”What's wrong with father?” Gu Danyan suddenly asked.

”I don't know either. I only said that my father had been having difficulty sleeping for the past few days. It seems that after the crown prince had been crippled, he had fainted in the great hall during the imperial court, causing dissatisfaction with the emperor.” Gu Zixian put down the curtain.

Ever since Su Yu Wan poisoned him that day, Gu Zixian had become much more obedient. In the Prince's Mansion, he had treated Gu Ming Yan as his leader, but that Lan Lan refused to admit defeat. It was still unknown what he did in private.

Gu Liuyan felt even more baffled. This Gu Cheng's daughter had already married into Prince Jing's estate. Why did he feel like he was standing on the side of the crown prince? Why was he standing on his side?

When the sun had set, the carriage had indeed not gone far. They only chose a remote inn to stay in.

They only pretended to be wealthy merchants, so it was not easy for them to attract attention.

When they were eating at the inn, Gu Danyan immediately heard the people at the table discussing, ”You don't know how many Humble Class seat participants will be appearing in the Spring Examination next year. At the beginning of winter, those scholars have already rushed to the Sky Flame to obtain their merit points for the Spring Test.”

”Why did you come so early?” A big fellow beside him slammed his wine cup onto the table.

”Isn't it because the crown prince has been crippled? You don't know how arrogant his aides are, they only care about their families and reject many of the offspring of the Humble Class. Now that the crown prince is gone, don't you think all of the offspring of the Humble Class will be able to stand up for themselves?” The two men beside him also laughed.

”You're right, you have to come earlier. Otherwise, if spring comes and all the merchants from other countries show up, those scholars will have no place to stay.”

The people at the other tables also started to discuss this matter.

Gu Danyan listened seriously and asked Gu Cheng, ”Were the Humble Class offspring in a very difficult situation?”

”Girls, what are you doing knowing all this for?” Gu Cheng scolded in a low voice, not wishing to say anything more.

Gu Daiyan did not say anything, and returned to his room after eating dinner with the help of Qing Dai.

”Young miss, you don't know this, but the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have always been so domineering. Since the Crown Princess's parents were from the Zhu Family, it could be said that the Zhu Family was one of the founding fathers of the kingdom. Thus, they acted rashly.”

”Then the offspring of the Humble Class …”

”It was the Zhu family's idea. Back then, when he established the Crown Prince, the Zhu family requested an order from the Emperor, saying that the disciples of the Humble Class had never known about morality. Afterwards, the Emperor advised, and after giving a slight concession, he let the Crown Prince supervise the Spring Festival, and the Crown Prince did not accept any Humble Class disciples.” She whispered.
