The subordinates of Lingfeng Pavilion knelt on one knee: "Sir! We won! We broke through the imperial city..."

Su Muying turned back suddenly.

"We won?!" He grabbed the man's shoulders, his tone full of ecstasy, then walked a few steps on the city wall and laughed.

"I won! Qin Baiting, don't even think about destroying our Su family! Don't even think about it!"

He laughed so exaggeratedly that his throat became a little hoarse from shouting.

Su Muying turned around twice, but his expression changed again.

"Liar! You traitor!" He rushed back to the subordinate and grabbed his collar with both hands: "You traitor, you are following Wen Qing's orders to fool me! Isn't that right!"

He was breathing heavily, his eyes bulging, staring at the subordinate in front of him.

The subordinates had numb expressions and no emotions could be seen.

Su Muying's face twitched and he revealed an ugly smile.

"I won, I won!" he screamed, and then ran towards the stairs down the city wall: "Yingyang Yingxu! You can come out now!!"

As soon as he reached the stone steps, he was blocked by a pair of shining silver spears. Guarding the pass were two soldiers in armor, who looked a little impatient and didn't seem to be paying attention.

But they still dutifully recited the lines: "The Imperial City is under martial law! You can't go through."

"I am the emperor, who dares to stop me!" Su Muying roared, "How dare you! How dare you! You two traitors, I will kill all your clans!!"

The soldier said, "We have never seen the emperor. We only recognize the token."

Su Muying was stunned: "What token?"

"This imperial city was captured by our Chaozhen Army, so of course we recognize the Chaozhen Army's token." The soldier smiled, "Whoever holds the token will be the future ruler of Northern Qin. As for you, you are just a nobody."

The kneeling subordinate also came to Su Muying's side at this moment.

He said, "You two are really insolent! This is the owner of Lingfeng Pavilion, the former prime minister, Lord Su Muying!"

The sergeant asked, "Where is the token?"

Su Muying's face looked extremely gloomy.

The subordinate said, "It is naturally in your hands."

He turned to Su Muying: "Sir, where is the token?"

"What token?" Su Muying asked slowly.

The subordinate looked at him intently: "It's the white jade token with the word Gu on it that we snatched from Gu Dashi!"

……

The haze that had shrouded Northern Qin for several months finally dissipated.

It rained that night, washing away all the blood in the imperial city and Luoyang market. The people who had been worried about the turmoil in the city finally welcomed the dawn safely.

The Mansion of Marquis Dunxin.

The quiet atmosphere in the mansion was swept away, and it seemed a little lively and busy. He Gui led a group of Wumen guards to run around, apparently cleaning up the things in the mansion.

"Don't move!" Gu Yue's angry voice came from the house in Jishiyuan.

Gu Xu was no longer as quiet and well-behaved as before. Although he was still sitting obediently on the chair, his two hands were tightly hanging on Gu Yue's waist and he refused to let go.

"I can't apply medicine to you like this." Gu Yue frowned, "Wu Ye said that if you don't take good care of this wound, it will leave a scar in the future. You also ate something colored last night, do you want to turn into Gu Dashi?"

"Then don't put it on." Gu Xu buried his face in his abdomen, "After all, you won't leave just because I'm ugly."

Feeling the force tightening around his waist, Gu Yue sighed and put the medicine bottle back on the table.

It's okay to be a little ugly.

She gently put her arm around the back of Gu Xu's neck and smoothed his soft hair which he hadn't had time to tie up yet.

There was silence in the room for a while.

"It's over." Gu Xu suddenly said sullenly.

"Yes, it's over. Those who deserved to die have paid, and those who deserved revenge have also been avenged." Gu Yue touched his ear and gently pinched the warm earlobe. "Let's think about it carefully. Is there anything we have missed? Now that His Majesty has a good relationship with us, it's easy to take revenge on anyone."

Gu Xu sneered.

He finally let go of Gu Yue, but the two of them got even closer - Gu Xu pulled him onto his lap and held him tightly.

Gu Yue was not much shorter than him, so it was a bit uncomfortable for him to sit like this. But seeing Gu Xu's resolute attitude and the fact that he had fought a whole day yesterday, he softened his heart and sat on his lap like a big bird.

Gu Xu thought he was just joking, but Gu Yue pondered it carefully in his heart.

The King of Yin was arrested, and Qin Zhaohong's decisive character would definitely not let him go. Although the previous emperor was the main force in suppressing the King of Shen, the old man had died many years ago, and now he could not ask the King of Hell for his life.

"The emperor and the old emperor are both dead. Prince Yin...he didn't pose a big threat to you in this life, but since he's a guy blocking your way, just get rid of him." Gu Yue counted on his fingers, "Any clues about the guy named You Meng? He was the one who was in Prince Shen's mansion back then..."

"Yeah." Gu Xu raised his eyes, "Are you really planning this?"

"Of course! Now that we've been reborn, the most important thing is revenge." Gu Yue said, "Have you found that You Meng?"

"Who said before that it's okay to be an ordinary person?" Gu Xu didn't answer.

Of course it’s because we’ve won now, so no one needs to be afraid! Gu Yue thought.

The more you rely on your power!

"How are they the same? Tell me quickly, what's going on with that person?" Gu Yue pinched his cheek.

Gu Xu's face was distorted, and his words inevitably became vague: "I found this person long ago when I took control of the East Palace. He is the prince's subordinate, lurking in the Prince Shen's Mansion just to get the rumored Chaozhen Army."

Gu Yue's face suddenly darkened.

From this point of view, Qin Zhaoyue's plan was indeed vicious. He was only a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, not even a crown prince yet, but he had already started planning for the future.

I feel it has something to do with the Queen’s education.

He also met the Queen yesterday. The woman looked at Qin Zhaohong with a complicated expression, but Gu Yue felt that he could roughly understand it.

The strategy of using the Queen to lure out the King of Yin was jointly agreed upon by him and Qin Zhaohong. In his opinion, Qin Zhaohong wanted to guide the Queen and make her think that it was the King of Yin who murdered the Crown Prince, thereby indirectly cooperating with their plan.

In this process, the Queen was out of control. Gu Yue felt that Qin Zhaohong was gambling, but he did not quite agree with it.

"I don't understand Your Majesty well enough." Gu Yue sighed.

A question mark slowly appeared above Gu Xu's head.

However, he was used to Gu Yue's jumping thoughts, so he didn't bother to find out how he jumped from the topic of the Crown Prince and You Meng to Qin Zhaohong. He just asked, "What do you mean?"

"I thought Qin Zhaohong was just betting that the queen would stand on her side, but now I think about it, she knows the queen very well." Gu Yue said, "What the queen wants is for her child to ascend the throne and for her to become the queen mother... As for who this child is and whether it is Qin Zhaoyue, the queen is not so sure."

"The Queen's goal is still very firm." Gu Yue said with a smile.

"Qin Zhaohong also knows her thoughts very well." Gu Xu nodded.
