The soldiers at the border were extremely nervous. Cao Feiyun had been guarding the border, and every time he reported, it was bad news.

The emperor's face was extremely heavy. He put his hands behind his back and slapped the table heavily.

"The Xiliang Imperial Army has been so rampant in recent days. Do you have any solution?"

They were almost losing ground and had no good news, so everyone was naturally upset.

Zhao Wenxuan lowered his brows slightly, took a step forward, and his words revealed a bit of solemnity.

"Father, why don't you let me handle this matter? I also want to share your worries."

Although the war situation here is tense, if he were to take action, it would probably be disadvantageous for others.

Zhao Moxuan immediately stood up and made a final rebuttal, his words revealing helplessness.

"It's better not for you to do this. It's too dangerous. Besides, they seem to be quite powerful. I heard they have researched some new weapons."

After all, it was their incompetence that caused them to miss so many good opportunities.

The emperor was worried, his brows were furrowed, his hands resting behind his back, and his gaze finally fell on Gu Yanan's face.

"Do you have any ideas?"

After all, they are not very familiar with this border, and Gu Yanan is the one who has the most say.

Hearing this, Gu Yanan, sitting in a wheelchair, had a serious expression and a frown on his face, and then responded.

"I have not made any plans yet. I will follow the emperor's arrangements."

He has indeed been concerned about these things recently, but he has not received any response yet, so he naturally dares not act rashly.

The emperor's expression became more and more serious. Looking at everyone's expressions, he felt vaguely worried.

"I always feel that this matter is not simple. I will send people to provide support first, and we can talk about the rest later."

But who should be sent out? This is also a big problem.

Zhao Wenxuan was naturally willing to bear the brunt of the attack. Among the three princes, he was the most qualified and he crushed them in almost every aspect.

"Since Father wants to send someone, why not send me?"

There was hardly anyone in the entire court who was more skilled than him, not to mention that he was indeed the one he desired.

The emperor was hesitant and didn't seem to know whether he should agree or not.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an immediately interrupted with a serious look on his face.

"The current situation is still unclear. It is not a good idea to go there rashly. Second Prince, you should wait for a while. It won't be too late to talk about it in a few days."

If he is really allowed to go, the situation may become even more dangerous.

The emperor listened to his opinion, nodded slightly, and then refuted softly.

"That does make sense. You stay in Kyoto first, and we can talk about the rest later."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his face full of sorrow and a strong sense of worry emanating from him.

When Gu Yanan wanted to leave, Zhao Wenxuan stopped him directly, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"I didn't expect you to be so involved in so many things. You even have to take care of these things?"

Logically speaking, what does the affairs between these princes have to do with a prince?

Gu Yanan just felt a little stuffy in his chest, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

"You can't say that. I am also worried about the safety of the Second Prince. After all, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. What if I hurt you?"

He has some brothers who are at the border. If he is really allowed to go, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Wenxuan didn't expect things to go so badly. His face became more and more ugly, his brows were tightly furrowed, and finally he groaned.

"I hope so!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily. Everyone around him was a little surprised, but they didn't show it.

Gu Yanan returned to the mansion, and Liu Dashan followed closely behind. The atmosphere in the study was extremely solemn, and they got the news faster.

"Our brothers have risked their lives there. I heard that this city may not be saved."

He looked at the letter in his hand and felt more and more upset. He let out a long breath.

Gu Yan'an naturally had his thoughts in mind. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and then spoke lightly.

"The matter is extremely complicated. The Second Prince has been colluding with others. We cannot explain it in a few words. There is no evidence to prove it at present."

It is estimated that the emperor already had suspicions in his mind, but in the end there was no substantial evidence. Otherwise, how could he not have asked the second prince to take action?

Liu Dashan was so angry that he slammed the table. He had been investigating the whereabouts of the second prince for some time, but there seemed to be no useful evidence.

"They have always been careful and cautious. It's our brothers and the innocent people who are pitiful."

They are just a check and balance of power. If they really had the ability, they would have attacked Kyoto long ago.

Hearing this, Gu Yan'an's face turned slightly pale with anger, and finally he just shook his head slowly.

"Keep investigating. If you find anything, report it to me immediately. Be careful with other things and don't let anyone else find out."

His injuries have improved somewhat now, and he is able to walk, but he still has to think carefully before going to the battlefield.

After all, if he could really go to war at that time, these princes would definitely not let him go.

By then, their situation will probably become more difficult, which will naturally be disadvantageous for them.

Liu Dashan nodded heavily, his words still revealing concern, and then he spoke a few words.

"You should also take good care of yourself. Don't do anything rash just because you feel better. Try not to tell others about this matter as much as possible."

He was naturally helpless in his heart, but he couldn't express it in words, so it was all he could do.

The study returned to a quiet moment again. Gu Yanan stayed in his seat with an extremely helpless expression and his brows tightly furrowed.

Su Jinhua saw this scene as soon as he came in, and then asked softly.

"What's going on here?"

How come it suddenly became like this?

Gu Yan'an frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and then he spoke softly.

"It's because some things in the court are making me irritated. In addition, the border is full of dangers and I can't go there. Naturally, I am a little worried."

He does care about the people, but unfortunately some things are not so easy to solve, so he can only stand by and worry, and his current mood is not right.

Seeing this, Su Jinhua went up to him and gave him a massage. His words were full of soothing intent, but his tone was very gentle.

"Things can always be solved, so why worry so much?"
