In ancient times, he had his grandson's military skills, but Gu Tinyan had memories from different times.
In her previous life, her entire family had been doing things that no one else had done before, including historical archaeology, philosophical medical techniques, and so on. Furthermore, she had studied this grandson's military skills before, and her relatives had also learned a lot about the various battles in history.
Even if she knew something that Duan Chenxuan didn't know, she still had a way to persuade the Emperor to let the Third Prince go out to battle.
Unfortunately, when compared to Duan Cheng Xuan, she was still lacking slightly.
Duan Chengxuan's reputation as a Martial Immortal was infamous, and even these ownerless Martial Disciples mostly took him as their role model. How could they wholeheartedly fight on the battlefield for the Third Prince?
He returned empty-handed, and when he returned, he heard Duan Chengrui say, ”I told royal father that I got a military advisor, and I'm afraid I'll need you to go to court tomorrow. As long as you can persuade royal father, everything might turn for the better.”
Phantom Shadow's expression changed immediately. Gu Pingyan quickly stopped him: ”I'm just going to the imperial court. No one will recognize me after I change my appearance.”
”My appearance changing technique is not omnipotent.” ”I'm going to tell Madame.”
Gu Danyan choked and looked at him with a bitter face: ”I even suspect that you are my mother.”
Ghost snorted coldly, as if he did not reject this form of address.
Duan Chengrui's expression changed as well and he brought Gu Danyan to the inner room by himself. He closed the door and discussed the matter with her: ”I had no choice but to say that, if you are willing, I can ask someone else to replace you.”
”I'm afraid no one will be able to withstand Duan Chengxuan's gaze.” Gu Danyan waved his hand and refused, ”No matter who goes, we have to fight a war of words with Duan Chengxuan. If I am not careful, I will be exposed. Furthermore, the more confident I am, the less chance I will be discovered and hidden from others, and the easier it is for others to see through me. ”
Duan Chengrui felt a headache coming on. ”I'm incompetent, but I actually didn't notice the change in the border.”
”Needless to say, you've been hiding away for too long. It's reasonable that you haven't penetrated that far. However, what did Meng Xu and the other ministers say?” Gu Danyan waved his hand and stopped him from talking any more nonsense.
”Meng Xu advocated letting the brave royal uncle go to war, while the other ministers wanted to send people to negotiate. There were also a few other ministers who didn't have their own opinions and were in a mess, so they didn't come back until the afternoon.” Duan Chengrui felt his head hurt when he thought of the matters of the imperial court today.
After thinking deeply for a while, Gu Daiyan comforted him instead, ”Since Meng Xu can stand by Duan Chengxuan's side on this matter, then it's my honor to be their opponent. I'll have to trouble Your Highness tomorrow.”
As he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Duan Chenrui's reply and walked in with a dark expression, bringing Gu Danyan along with him.
Sitting alone in the room, Yue Qing walked over leisurely, placing down some pastries and tea. ”She seems to be very close to ghosts and demons. Your Highness, why don't you put your thoughts aside earlier?”
Duan Chengrui looked at the cup of tea in his cup and became lost in thought, ”The more brave she is, the more I want to keep her by my side.”
Yue Qing's movements halted, her heart was already a mess.
What virtue or ability did Gu Danyan have to be able to make so many men fall for her.
