”It is due to Yue Qing's dereliction of duty that the King Jing has been wandering among the officials in the recent days. Furthermore, the King Jing has been bringing Su Yuwan around the mountains and rivers to win over this year's Humble Class seat.” Yue Qing kneeled on the ground with her hands by her sides. ”I believe that Prince Jing is disturbing the public. Yue Qing also doesn't know that the Assistant Minister of Revenue's family was poisoned.”
It seemed that Duan Chengxuan had concealed the family affairs of the Assistant Minister of Revenue so well.
However, since this was the case, it was even better for Duan Chengrui to take action against the Assistant Minister of Revenue.
”But, how did Your Highness find out about the news of the Assistant Minister of Revenue?” Yue Qing suddenly raised her head.
”Naturally, it was Crown Princess Jing who told me this. If she doesn't have any information, then there's no use in taking it out.” Duan Chengrui spoke calmly, but in his heart, he had already thought of how to deal with this Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue.
To be able to gain the trust of the Emperor, the Assistant Minister of Revenue must have some tricks up his sleeves. Compared to what Gu Tinyan said, it would be better to leave him alive and have more uses in the future.
Yue Qing raised her gaze, and seeing that Duan Chengrui seemed to be thinking about proper matters, her heart sank back into her stomach. It seemed that His Highness didn't care that much about Crown Princess Jing. He was overthinking things.
After this matter was over, Duan Chengrui decided to keep the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He would only allow Yue Qing to go late into the night.
At the same time, Prince Jing's mansion loosened a set of tedious clothes, which were followed by the servants of the mansion. ”These are the birthday clothes personally selected by the prince for your consort, and he has already prepared all the gifts. Also, these are all written by the assistant minister's servants in the Ministry of Revenue. Please have a look at them.”
”Duan Chengxuan asked for help the moment he opened his mouth to pass a message to him.” Gu Liuyan held a piece of date paste cake, and crossed her legs in an unrefined manner. She flipped through the history book with her other hand, and after thinking for a long time, she continued: ”Tell him that I also want a medical book from some other places, the disease in the residence of the assistant minister is like a poison, and it's not easy to kill it. It's not good for me to test the medicine here, it's best if I can find it in the medical book.”
”Yes, Princess.” The maidservants brought everyone else and left.
”These clothes are painted with Penglai Divine Bird, they look really good. If you appear at the empress dowager's birthday feast that day, you'll definitely attract attention.”
Glancing at it, Gu Danyan looked back at the history book in his hands: ”It's indeed pretty beautiful.”
With a smile, Qing Dai returned the things back to their original place and then accompanied Gu Daiyan to the pharmacy after finishing the book.
By the eaves of the house, Ghosts only took in the entirety of the scene before turning back after watching for nearly four hours.
The new dishes that the Misty Rain Pavilion brought in in in the spring had been bought with the help of Gu Daiyan. Most of the children in the Hall of Healing were thankful to Gu Daiyan for developing the medicinal formula, and even though the Misty Rain Pavilion and the Hall of Healing did not say anything, quite a few people knew about this.
Duan Chengxuan carefully flipped through her recent actions. ”In the future, I don't need to follow you from time to time.”
”Big Brother Xuan, you've taken out the bone and blood in her body, and now that you're in contact with the Misty Rain Pavilion's World Awareness Hall, will she think of a way to take revenge on us?” Su Yu Wan leaned on Duan Chengxuan's shoulder. She still wanted to sow discord between them and completely push Gu Xuan away from her side.
”Misty Castle is my spy. Other than some famous doctors, there's nothing special about the Hall of Healing.” Duan Chengxuan patted Su Yu Wan's shoulder to comfort her. ”Have you gotten better in the past few days?”
”With Big Brother Xuan by my side, I feel much better.” Su Yu Wan rubbed herself against Duan Cheng Xuan's chest again.
Gently pulling her into his embrace, he wrapped an arm around Su Yu Wan's waist and kissed on the side of her face. Su Yu Wan obediently crawled into his embrace, but Duan Cheng Xuan seemed to have thought of something and suppressed her movements: ”Your body isn't suitable yet.”
