Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Emperor Qitai stared at Gu Yu for a long time. Only when the morning light appeared on the horizon did he finally speak.

"You look more and more like your father back then."

Gu Yu respectfully replied: "I was still young when my father passed away, and now I can no longer remember his appearance."

Emperor Qitai looked deeply into the distance and recalled the past: "At that time, I secretly sent your father to the south of the Yangtze River to secretly investigate the corruption in the fields. Who knew that his whereabouts were betrayed by the traitors? I sent him to protect him. All the secret guards were killed, and your father was already seriously injured when I received the news and arrived."

Although the hall had been washed clean, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. Gu Yu could even imagine the scene when the group of people brutally murdered his father.

Emperor Qitai sighed: "I know that you have always complained in your heart that your mother abandoned you, but in fact it was your father who entrusted your mother and you to me before he died. In fact, your mother and I were childhood sweethearts, and we originally agreed to stay together. I married her right after I returned from the army, but later..."

Recalling the past and thinking of his father, Gu Yu felt sour in her heart: "I know all these things."

"It was only later that your father found out that he had unintentionally stolen my marriage to your mother. He always felt ashamed of your mother and wanted to return this marriage to us. Your mother cared about you and did not want to enter the palace, so your father I entrusted you to your uncle, and in order to let your father die peacefully, we all had to agree."

"Actually, your mother has never forgotten your father in all these years." Emperor Qitai smiled bitterly, "All the traitors and traitors who killed your father back then have been executed. Your father's great revenge has been avenged. Your mother doesn't want you to live in hatred. , I...I don’t want you to resent Qi Ming, so I don’t plan to tell you about your father.”

"I am telling these things today, firstly, to admonish Qi Ming, and secondly, I hope that you will no longer be obsessed with these things in the future and can concentrate on assisting Qi Jin. Dayu cannot withstand more twists and turns now, and needs You capable courtiers work hard for the welfare of the people of the world, and only then can Dayu enjoy long-term peace and stability."

Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Yu saluted Emperor Qitai solemnly and said, "I obey the order."

He had just thought about it and understood it, not to mention that the people who murdered his father had already paid the price. Even if those people were still alive now, these were his personal vendettas. He would not vent his anger on others because of his personal vendetta.

In particular, the unarmed people, who were already being exploited by those in high positions with evil intentions, would suffer again because of the private grudges of those in power.

He lived a miserable life without a father or a mother for the first half of his life. Finally, God treated him well and allowed him to have a happy family of his own with his wife and children.

If the only regret is that he failed to investigate the cause of his father's death, now this only regret has been solved so suddenly.

When he first decided to enter the officialdom, he was determined to make decisions for the people. Even if Emperor Qitai did not say this, he should do his best to assist the king wholeheartedly and seek the welfare of the people.

As for the murderers who killed his father, he will investigate again himself to ensure that no one escapes the net.

Emperor Qitai was very satisfied with Gu Yu's answer. He nodded: "I'm tired. Please step back first."

"Weichen will take his leave first."

The affairs in the palace have been decided, and there are still people at home waiting for him to return home, and he is eager to return home.

As soon as Gu Yu stepped out of the palace door, Emperor Qitai's voice came from behind again.

"Your mother..." Emperor Qitai spoke, but seemed not to know what to say. After a while, he said, "You will take your wife and children to visit her more often in the future."

"Yes."

Gu Yu responded, but never looked back.

There is no room for others to comment on the past events between the elders, and there is nothing wrong with living for oneself.

But neither he nor Xi'er would be able to abandon the children just because of the other's words.

He couldn't forgive the reluctance to get close, but that didn't mean he would stop the children from getting close to their grandmother.

Before leaving the palace, Gu Yu sent someone to inquire about the situation in the harem.

Li Qiming sent people to communicate with Princess Anle in the palace, hoping that Princess Anle would help him control the inner court when he occupied the outer court.

They had already controlled the manpower in Naitingbu, but at that time there was still a little maid who risked her life and escaped from the palace to report to him. It is said that it was because An Ning had accidentally saved this maid once before.

It can be seen that there are arrogant people in this world, and there will also be people who know how to repay kindness.

News from the inner court came quickly. Except for a few chamberlains who were stabbed by Princess Anle, everyone else was safe.

In this way, Gu Yu left the palace safely and went home.

It was getting dark, but the market, which was supposed to be gradually becoming lively, was extremely quiet. I think everyone in the capital had heard about last night's incident, and they didn't dare to go out at this time.

The long street was dimly lit, and Gu Yu was walking quickly through it with his horse on his back.

After a long time, he finally stopped in front of a brightly lit house.

He turned over and dismounted, and just as he stood firm, a person flew towards him like a bird and jumped into his arms.

Qi Qingxi smelled the bloody smell on Gu Yu's body and instantly came out of his arms. She looked him up and down carefully and felt relieved after confirming that there were no wounds on his body.

Gu Yu was dissatisfied with her sudden departure from his arms, took her hand and hugged her tightly again.

"Finally waiting for you to come back."

"Yes, I'm back."

Qi Qingxi suddenly remembered that just in case, she asked the three Yunming brothers and sisters to take the children to the house in the outer city for the time being. If something went wrong, she would take the children and leave the capital.

Now that the matter has ended smoothly, she has to hurry up to get her siblings and children back.

Qi Qingxi took Gu Yu's hand and hurriedly ordered the people in the house to prepare the carriage.

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the alley. From a long distance away, Qi Qingxi saw a figure leaning out of the carriage window and waving to her.

"Sister, we are back."

As soon as the carriage stopped, An Nuan jumped out of the carriage first and threw herself into Qi Qingxi's arms. Then Yunming and Yunhui jumped out of the carriage, each holding a child in their hands.

When Kyung Yue saw Qi Qingxi and Gu Yu, she giggled and called "Dad, Mom", while Kyung Heng was sleeping soundly in his second uncle's arms, hearing his sister's cry slightly He raised his eyelids and glanced at his parents before falling asleep again.

This scene happened to be caught by Guo and others who opened the door and came out of Li's house. Guo pointed at Kyung Heng and laughed and said, "This kid is not surprised at all."

"Auntie." Several children called her together.

Ah Yue and his siblings also greeted each other.

"Okay." Mrs. Guo looked at everyone gently, "Great, everyone is fine. Our family is just missing your eldest brother and uncle."

Suddenly, Kyung Yue in Yunming's arms pointed at the entrance of the alley and started babbling. Everyone looked in the direction of Kyung Yue's finger.

In the faint morning light, two familiar figures were walking towards them step by step.

Qi Qingxi excitedly held Gu Yu's hand beside him: "It's uncle and eldest brother."
