Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Shao wholeheartedly believed that concealing the illness would make Gu Tingyu feel less stressed and recover faster, but this indirectly caused Gu Tingyu to misjudge the situation and left Xiao Qinshi with an opportunity.

The doctor saw that the Marquis's mansion was run by Madam Xiao Qin, and he told her many dietary taboos. Xiao Qin changed her methods every once in a while, and her actions were sometimes light and sometimes heavy. In addition, the whole family ate food from the same kitchen, so no one thought that there would be any problems. Shao only kept a close eye on the medicinal materials to prevent people from poisoning them, but she didn't know that food could also be manipulated. Over time, Gu Tingyu's body became more and more weak because of what Xiao Qin fed him...

……

Afternoon. Gu Tingye's private residence.

Changbai was stunned for a while after listening to Gu Tingye's story about what he saw at the examiner's house. He then asked, "So, for this, your father beat you up like this again?"

Gu Tingye touched his still swollen face and said, "I beat myself."

Changbai: "What are you doing?"

Gu Tingye laughed bitterly: "Just think of it as a self-torture trick."

Changbai glanced sideways: "We are obviously a family, why can't we talk without using tricks?"

Gu Tingye: "If I didn't suffer these hardships, how could my father be so soft-hearted as to listen to me?"

Changbai: "Have you and the old marquis always come here this way?"

"Not really," Gu Tingye sighed, "Father used to hug me and love me. When I entered the palace that year, he took me to show off a set of guns in front of the emperor. The emperor was so happy that he rewarded me with the gun. Father was so happy that he kissed and hugged me on the way home. But since then, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and father has never treated me well again. I didn't understand why before, but now I think it must be because I was too proud in front of the emperor that year, which scared some people, so they hurriedly wanted to eliminate me, the thorn in their side."

Changbai understood immediately: "For the title? Afraid that your brother won't last long, so he gave the title to you?"

Gu Tingye: "And the dowry my mother left in the mansion."

Changbai was so angry that he was speechless. After a long while, he slammed the table and cursed: "Asshole!"

This was the dirtiest thing he could say.

Gu Tingye also slammed the table: "That's right, they are just a bunch of bastards!"

Changbai: "There are a lot of them and you are alone, what can you do?"

Gu Tingye: "I am enough."

Changbai suddenly became proud: "No, you still have me! I have always been on your side! It's just that I can't think of how to help you right now..." After saying that, he became depressed again.

Gu Tingye patted his shoulder and said, "Help me keep a good eye on your sister. I will become your brother-in-law with my fame."

Changbai sighed and patted his shoulder hard: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm talking to you seriously!"

Gu Tingye: "I am serious with you. I am not afraid of this group of people at all. I am giving in step by step now, just because I don't want to please them. I have really become an unfilial son. Today I begged my father to ask him to go to the government to plead for me. My father did not refuse or take action, which means he will go. Once my father goes, the government will know that my eldest brother used my eight-year-old words to provoke him. He is an emperor, can he allow himself to be used as a gun by others? Oh, he thought he was blocking my way, but he didn't know that he might be blocking his own way?"

Changbai got goosebumps all over his body. "Yes, yes, yes, yes! Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes! Your brother's behavior, to put it more seriously, is deceiving the emperor and he will go to jail!"

Gu Tingye: "Not just imprisonment? He used the country's public tools to take revenge, not only deceiving the emperor, but also disrupting the imperial examination. If the officials in the Censorate figure it out, they may impeach him to death. Our court has always been on high alert against military officers, fearing that they would manipulate the court. With this opportunity, how could the ministers show mercy?"

Changbai first felt a sense of clarity all over his body, as if his enemies were about to be attacked by him. Suddenly, he frowned again: "But if this happens, your family's title may be lost. What will you do if it gets implicated?"

Gu Tingye waved his hand: "I have figured it out. If the path to the imperial examination is not feasible, I will join the army."

Changbai: "You are good at fighting, and you will definitely stand out in the army. However, now is a peaceful and prosperous time. When can you accumulate enough military merit to marry my sister?"

Gu Tingye curled his lips: "Do you agree?"

Changbai suddenly reacted: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, what nonsense am I talking about."

"I don't care, you just agreed!"

"I don't!"

"You have!"

"no!"

"Sheng Changbai, going back on your words is not what a gentleman does!"

Changbai was choked by him and was speechless. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Then tell me first, how do you want to achieve military merit?"

Gu Tingye: "In your opinion, who will be the most successful between Prince Yan and Prince Yong?"

Changbai: "I'm talking to you about military merits, why are you talking to me about this?"

Gu Tingye: "Just answer me."

Changbai: "Have you forgotten what my sixth sister said? It is right for us to be honest and loyal subjects. The succession of the royal family will be decided by the emperor. Why should we argue about it?"

Gu Tingye: "This is for the people of the world to hear, but for the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Yong, one of them is domineering and powerful, and the other has a powerful mother's family. As the saying goes, kings do not meet kings. They will never wait for the emperor's decision. That would be tantamount to waiting for death."

Changbai said solemnly: "What do you mean?"

Gu Tingye suddenly stood up and said: "When the two kings fight, the world will be in chaos. My military achievements will come from here!"

Changbai also stood up: "Who do you want to join? King Yan? King Yong?"

Gu Tingye looked at him steadily: "I need you to help me with this matter."

Changbai said proudly: "Just tell me, I will definitely do my best to help you!"

Gu Tingye: "Let me meet your sixth sister."

Changbai's passion turned into a mouthful of blood: "Gu Tingye, can you please stop playing around? I'm talking to you seriously!"

Gu Tingye: "I'm just being serious with you. I want to talk to your sixth sister and see what she thinks."

Changbai was a little dissatisfied: "Is there anything you can't ask me? Why bother asking her? Am I not as good as my sixth sister?"

Gu Tingye: "I asked you, didn't you have an answer?"

Changbai: "That's also the answer from my sixth sister. Do you expect her to come up with something else if you ask her again?"

Gu Tingye: "I think so."

Changbai: "What kind of conspiracy are you two planning?"

Gu Tingye: "All the conspiracies and intrigues are under your nose. Is there any violation of the rules?"

Changbai shook his head: "No, you must explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't allow it."

Gu Tingye: "Then you can ask her with me, is that okay?"

Changbai felt as if he had fallen into Gu Tingye's trap: "Are you also using the same trick of inflicting pain on me?"

Gu Tingye laughed: "Then aren't you happy with it?"

Changbai was speechless again...
