He longed for the day that he could board a Dragon and charge forward in the Western Sea, all the way to the foreign countries. However, after years and years of battles, Great Liang's Treasury was quickly emptied by him. At the moment, because Gu Yun supported the new Emperor, it had quickly stunned the rising of Wei Wang's force just in time for when the former Emperor was in critical condition. This could be said to be an achievement, thus no matter what the subject might be, the newly enthroned Emperor would still show him respect for his opinion.

But could this respect last for long?

Shen Yi shook his head: "Let's not discuss this matter anymore, how is His Fourth Highness?"

"His Highness?" Gu Yun was surprised for a moment: "Very good, ah."

Shen Yi asked: "What does he do every day?"

Gu Yun considered for a moment, then replied with uncertainty: "...perhaps playing? But I heard Uncle Wang say that he doesn't seem to go outside much."

Shen Yi understood right away that Marshal Gu was raising His Highness similar to raising sheep; feeding with grass every day — other matters were of no concern. But this was not strange to him because the old marquis and the First Princess also raised Gu Yun in a similar manner.

Shen Yi sighed: "How did the former Emperor treat you, did you already forget?"

Gu Yun's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment — he didn't really understand how to get along with Chang Geng.

Chang Geng had passed the age of acting spoiled with adults, he also had a mature personality. Back in Yanhui Town, it was this child who took care of his no-good yifu a lot more than the other way around.

Gu Yun couldn't afford to play with a bunch of children all day, but it was also difficult for him to act as an elder and to guide Chang Geng.

Because this was a burden that someone just handed to him; he still wasn't at the age to be a father and wasn't qualified to act the part.

Shen Yi asked again: "What are you planning for His Highness?"

Although Gu Yun once said that he would like to leave the Black Iron Camp to Chang Geng in the future, truth be told, it was only a joke. He knew in his own heart that it was impossible.

In addition, to obtain grand achievements in military ranks, how much hardships and struggles one had to go through, no one was clearer about this matter than Gu Yun. As long as he was still alive for a day — still had the strength to carry their homeland, Great Liang, he did not wish for Chang Geng to experience the same bitterness he did.

At the same time, however, he also hoped that the little prince who had been handed to him would have a bright future, or at the very least would have the ability to protect himself.
