The Marquis' Mansion is now seen as a thorn in the eyes of others. The eldest princess stays in the mansion all day long, but she is very well-informed about the news outside.

There was a look of worry in her eyes, her brows were tightly furrowed, and then she slowly exhaled.

"Things are indeed extremely complicated nowadays. Everyone is watching our every move. You better be careful."

The three princes fought to the death just for the throne, but unfortunately each of them was narrow-minded and not wholeheartedly concerned about the people.

The eldest princess naturally had some worries and concerns in her heart, and could not help but say a few more words.

"The current situation is unclear, so you must not take sides easily. It is best to remain independent."

No one can be sure what will happen next. As long as the throne is uncertain, they just need to obey the emperor's wishes.

Gu Yanan didn't expect that she would see things so thoroughly. He immediately nodded with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, mother. I know how to handle some things."

He was filled with helplessness, but at least he had some plans of his own.

No matter how hard the three princes fight, no matter who they fall into, it will still take a lot of polishing for them.

If the power is too great, people will be jealous of it, but if it is too little, life will be hard and nothing will be good.

Su Jinhua has been in charge of the Kyoto store for some time, and naturally encountered many problems, as if he was being deliberately targeted.

When she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, her brows were tightly furrowed, and then she responded.

"The current situation is unclear. The most important thing for you is to protect your own safety. You don't need to pay attention to anything else."

After all, apart from your own safety, nothing is more important than this.

The eldest princess meant the same thing and nodded slightly. Then she spoke.

"No matter who becomes the crown prince, at least he has to give me some face. Then I will sell all the property and we can find a beautiful place to live for a while."

There is too much power weighing on her in this life. She has been worrying about it for most of her life and she really doesn't want to take care of these things in the future.

She just wants to see her grandchildren staying by her side and enjoy her old age, and she will feel content.

It’s not that Gu Yanan couldn’t enjoy such a life, he just shook his head slowly. They must win this invisible war.

"No matter who it is, they may not give us a way out. Things are not easy. We can only take it one step at a time."

Who can tell clearly what is going on in the court? Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas, but it is very clear.

Seeing this, the eldest princess felt that her child had grown up. She felt relieved but also a little sad.

"I am just afraid that a tall tree will attract the wind. If that is true, then it will be a very difficult situation for us to break."

In recent days, the situations of each of the three princes are different. Some want to curry favor with them, while others naturally want to suppress them.

Shen Rujun was almost everywhere collecting evidence about the Marquis's Mansion, writing it up in a memorial and handing it to the Emperor immediately.

When in court, the emperor would bring up these things from time to time, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"I heard you bought a lot of horses. What does that mean?"

There was tentativeness in his words, but he did not have complete trust, as if he was afraid that Gu Yanan would rebel.

Hearing this, Gu Yanan, who was sitting in the wheelchair, slowly raised his eyelids, and then spoke lightly.

"I heard that the fighting on the border is intense. I was thinking of buying some horses and sending them over. Maybe they can be put to use."

After all, he couldn't be present at the scene in person right now, and his hands and feet were indeed inconvenient, so he could only do these small things.

How could Zhao Moxuan be willing to miss such a good opportunity? He immediately stood up and spoke, with a hint of disparagement in his words.

"If that's the case, then why didn't you report it to your father? Why did you use your own private money?"

After all, buying so many horses is not cheap, so this may not be an easy task.

Some ministers around did not dare to speak, and the air around them was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if they were afraid of saying a wrong word.

Gu Yan'an had already gotten used to it and didn't react too much. He just blinked his eyes slightly and then spoke something.

"This is just my contribution to the emperor. No matter who takes this money out of their pockets, it is for the people."

He was very righteous in what he said, as if he had no selfish motives at all, and even the look in his eyes when he faced them was very straightforward.

Zhao Moxuan's brows were slightly gloomy, and he stared at him with a serious look. After all, he still did not quite trust him, so he spoke lightly.

"You seem to care about the people, and even now you still care about border issues. If you don't know, you might think everyone listens to you."

He recruited soldiers and horses on his own and gave whatever he wanted. It can be seen that the Marquis' Mansion still has a lot of money in its hands.

Gu Yanan was not afraid of being discovered when he did it, and it was no different now. His eyebrows were slightly curved, and then he spoke directly.

"This is not something that Third Prince is concerned about. I naturally have my own ideas. If I had any selfish motives, I would not let you guys catch me."

The fact that he could do it openly proves that he had never had any idea in the beginning. This is even more so now, and his idea is very simple.

The emperor's brows relaxed slightly, the corners of his mouth slowly raised an arc, and then he spoke lightly.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore!"

He looked at everyone with a hint of majesty in his eyes, and many ministers did not dare to speak for some reason.

Zhao Moxuan was feeling even more angry, as if he didn't know how to vent his anger, so he just glared at him silently.

Gu Yan'an secretly curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the emperor. The two of them looked at each other and understood the hidden meaning in each other's eyes.

The emperor leaned his hands behind his back and ignored him. He just looked at the minister and then said a few words.

"You guys don't know how to focus on useful things all day long, but you seem to care about things that are useless. I don't know what you are thinking."

There was a hint of sharpness in his words, which inexplicably made their hearts tremble.
