What Duan Chengrui did on the way, he did not have the slightest bit of personal affection for his children, and he did it in the spirit of righteousness.

Even Duan Cong had no choice but to agree with her son. He knew that the only thing he had left was for the sake of power, or a woman like Gu Pingyan.

The snow had melted today, and Duan Cong's voice was slightly hoarse as she looked at Duan Chengxuan, who had entered the palace earlier. "Rui'er is very smart, it's only a small matter if we head to the border with Feng'er. I thought she would care even more about the position of the Crown Prince …"

Duan Chengxuan's hand that was holding the cup tightened slightly.

Duan Cong Rui knew that Duan Cong and Duan Cheng Xuan definitely wouldn't let Duan Feng succeed, so in a situation where the Main City was completely safe, Duan Cheng Rui didn't want to rely on her meritorious services to stabilize her position. Instead, she chose to go to the borders of Grand Emperor.

What was it for?

He was not like the Fourth Prince and his mufei who were staying in the palace, or the Sixth Prince who held military power.

The answer almost came out, but in the next moment, Duan Cong's coughing brought back his thoughts, "Let's not talk about this first. You had a huge argument with the Queen and her daughter in the Mother's palace. I heard that the two of them took out the Phoenix Seal and Tiger Tally to threaten them, but it was only for the sake of a group of servants?"

"It's not for the sake of being a servant, but to teach Qing Ze how to be an upright person." Duan Chengxuan came back to his senses and looked at Duan Cong. "He doesn't want those servants to be punished because of his illness."

Duan Cong laughed as she looked at him, "In the past, you had to blame all of your crimes on your servant. Now, even the younger generations of the palace are trembling in fear when they see you. Do they have such a side to them now?"

After clearing his throat to cover up the awkwardness of being teased, Duan Chengxuan's expression still remained unchanged. "Ninth Prince and Empress are so audacious, what do you think we should do?"

"I originally wanted to protect these sons of mine, but from the looks of it, that was just wishful thinking." Duan Cong laughed coldly, her eyes filled with grief.

He had never really doted on any of his children, but he had already paved them with many great roads.

As matters stood, the only one who really followed the path he hoped for was only Duan Chengyu, and his fourth son was also the son he thought to be ordinary at the beginning.

"There are too many unexpected things, and it's only because this throne is really hot." Putting down the cup, Duan Chengxuan stood up straight. "I'll go escort the consort to the White Horse Temple now."

Raising her eyebrows, Duan Cong hid the sadness in her eyes and sneered, "The White Horse Temple is indeed a good place."

Inns between countries had always been a mixture of fish and dragons, and the bloody benches had been washed clean by the snow.

Even if Gu Danyan and the ghost stayed in a room that could only put down one bed, they could still smell the faint smell of blood. The wind and snow outside the door made Gu Mingyan look extremely weak.

The ghost took a big bowl of beef tendons noodles and barely managed to shut the door.

"Are you feeling better?" Phantom sat on the edge of the bed with great difficulty. He placed the noodles on a small table in front of him. He could still hear the whispers coming from next door.

"I suddenly feel like I'm going to kill the child in my womb. I feel like I'm going to die." Gu Liuyan's head was exposed, she was dragging a ghost with one hand: "The smell of blood is too disgusting, let's hurry on."

"The wind and snow are too strong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forced myself to stay here for only one night." The Ghost took hold of her cold hand and tucked the blanket under her bed. He also stuffed the water bag filled with hot water into her bed.

Gu Liuyan shrank back painfully: "In such a heavy snowstorm, I can't get any information."

"We just need to wait patiently." The ghost helped her up a little and fed her the beef noodle.

"Information is everything. Ghosts, don't make these things sound so casual." Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him, then picked up the bowl and casually said: "Those people below are people who are responsible for the murder case, and there are also some sinners who linger here and are not recognized by the mounted bandits. In addition, there are also some corrupt caravans, guess if they know about Blackwater Town, and if they know anything else."

"You should get some rest." Phantom glared at her.

"I'd rather move than lie here." Gu Mingyan ate the noodles in the bowl in big gulps, and then put the empty bowl on the table. "And it just so happens that I want to see if there are any people who escaped from Blackwater Town."

Phantom frowned and helplessly put the carriage in a cave a few miles away.

When he entered the inn, he carried Gu Danyan in. He didn't see any familiar faces.

"The waiter of the Black Water Inn. I saw it, the woman next to him seems to be the Lady Boss. There are also a few rude people surrounding her, and one of them should be the person Erdan is looking for." Gu Daiyan got up and patted ghost on the shoulder: "I remember that peddler's wanted poster."

"Meeting on a narrow path?" Phantom Demon sighed and took out his two daggers from his bag, "I might not be able to use the long blade."

Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment, then remembered what ghost did: "I even forgot that you were supposed to be good at this."

"I've done more dirty things than you think." Ghosts removed the strips of cloth that had been wrapped around their daggers, revealing the dark leather that was most likely blood that could no longer be washed away.

Gu Danyan rubbed his head and got down from the bed. She waited until he had recovered before taking out the dark blue cloak from his backpack and covering half of her face. She pinched the sleeves of her ghost: "I'm still a little hungry."

"I've told the boss to prepare some more dry food and soup," she said.

Gu Danyan looked at him with a beaming smile, but Spirits couldn't help but wish that they could immediately throw this troublesome person back to Duan Chengxuan's side.

Pregnant women are even more difficult to deal with than hot potatoes.

The two of them walked side by side downstairs. Although there were quite a few men who were looking at them with smiles on their faces, as if they were curious as to why a woman would dare to enter this kind of a hacking shop, as long as they saw the two sabers on the ghost's waist and then looked at the pair of glasses, those men would tactfully laugh and not provoke them.

Since they were already on the run, they naturally had good judgement.

The boss hid behind the counter and instructed the skinny waiter to bring the food ordered by the ghost. He then personally picked a table and smiled as he leaned over. "This lady looks a little familiar."

"I'm sorry." The ghost had already spoken. The blade of the sword fell between the boss's fingers. "Miss only wants to meet her old acquaintance at the next table."
