Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Another point is that the queen is very smart, clear-headed, and trusts her daughter enough.

"She may know that Qin Zhaoyue's death is related to Qin Zhaohong." Gu Yue said in a low voice.

"She knows." Gu Xu held his hand, "but she has no choice, because compared to King Yin and other princes, her daughter is the most trustworthy."

Gu Yue nodded.

He originally disagreed with Qin Zhaohong's decision because he thought Qin Zhaohong was gambling on family affection. And people who gamble on family affection always have no good ending.

Gu Xu seemed to see through his thoughts and squeezed his palm: "All emotions in the world are tied to interests. Truly selfless people are rare."

Gu Yue nodded and sighed slightly.

"Oh, let's continue. Besides You Meng, the others who harmed us before include..." Gu Yue was about to count on his fingers again.

There was a cough from outside the door.

Gu Yue jumped up from Gu Xu and stood at attention obediently.

Wu Yan said outside the door: "...Wen Qing is here to visit."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Qing stepped over the threshold.

This guy walks so fast!

Wen Qing had a smile on his face, and Gu Yue could tell at a glance that he did it on purpose.

"It seems that I am bothering you." Wen Qing said in a brisk tone, without any trace of guilt.

Gu Xu looked unhappy.

"Please sit down." Gu Yue said shamelessly, and sat down on the chair on the other side.

Wen Qing said: "Su Muying died last night."

Gu Yue's face turned serious.

Wen Qing carefully observed their expressions, then continued with satisfaction: "Before he died, he seemed to have seen some fantasy and wanted to climb up the city wall. But it rained last night, and the rocks were slippery, so he... slipped and fell, and landed on the riverbank outside the imperial city."

Gu Yue and the other person did not respond.

Gu Xu himself wasn't sure whether he had let go of his hatred or not, but when he heard about this, he felt a little relieved.

Gu Yue was a little depressed.

Wen Qing said: "I came here this time to say goodbye to you two."

"Oh! Where are you going?" Gu Yue was not surprised.

"Let's go back to Gu Ri City." Wen Qing said, "Qin Zhaoning's brain is really not suitable for governing such a complicated city. I will go back and help him."

Gu Yue thought, there’s more to it than that.

As expected, Wen Qing continued, "This fiefdom can easily be manipulated by the emperor to suppress or frame someone. We don't have a deep relationship with Qin Zhaohong, so we must be on guard."

Gu Yue nodded, he had thought of this as well.

The relationship between the ruler and his subjects is both simple and complex, and they will not become friends forever. Wen Qing's considerations are very thoughtful.

"You two, please remember to say a few good words to His Majesty about Qin Zhaoning." Wen Qing smiled, "With his brain, it's hard for him to even turn over, how can he rebel?"

"We will." Gu Yue smiled. He was not stingy with these two words.

Wen Qing naturally ignored Gu Xu who was standing beside him, and stared at Gu Yue for a while: "You... that's all. There are some things that I don't need to waste my words on."

Gu Yue could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

Wen Qing stood up.

He declined Gu Yue's invitation to stay for tea: "We are leaving today and will not attend the coronation ceremony. - In addition, I have a gift for you. I have asked the guard named Feng to accept it."

Gift? What gift?

Gu Yue hurriedly tried to follow him out, but Gu Xu grabbed his sleeve.

"I'm not a child, why do I need you to follow me everywhere?" Gu Xu frowned and said, "I haven't even washed up yet, how can you leave me here alone?"

"...Oh." Gu Yue responded.

Gu Yue asked Wu Yan, who was waiting outside, to fetch some water. He watched Gu Xu slowly tie up his hair, wash his face, rinse his mouth, and get dressed...until the two of them finally put on their outer clothes and were ready to go out. Wen Qing had already been gone for half an hour.

"Come with me to the palace later to meet His Majesty," said Gu Xu.

The two walked towards the main entrance.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lesongyuan, Wu Feng appeared in front of him with a drooping face. He seemed to be in a bad mood, not at all like the rooster who had won the battle yesterday.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked.

He suddenly remembered that Wen Qing said before leaving that he had brought them a gift, which he had already handed to Wu Feng.

"Wu Fei... was captured by Wen Qing." Wu Feng said, "He is tied up in the yard."

Gu Xu's face darkened.

He looked at Gu Yue: "Do you want to see him?"

Gu Yue was still surprised: "Wen Qing actually caught Wu Fei!"

Wu Feng said: "Our people tracked Wu Fei to the vicinity of Xiong'er Mountain, but we lost sight of him. We didn't expect that he fell into Wen Qing's hands."

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it."

He was a little scared, mainly because this person reminded him of what happened before.

Gu Xu gave him a soothing look, then turned to Wu Feng and said, "Lock him up in the dark cell first, and we'll talk when I come back."

Wu Feng said: "Yes!"

He was very sad, Wu Fei was once his...friend.

……

The two of them took a carriage to the palace.

They tacitly agreed not to mention Wu Fei again. Gu Yue quickly gathered his spirits and looked out through the small window of the carriage.

The streets were still under martial law, with the Luoyang Imperial Guards controlling the streets, and only the inner part of the market was allowed to allow the public to pass. When passing through Tenglin Lane, Gu Yue saw signs of damage and burning everywhere, and many servants in the various mansions were holding basins of water to wipe the blood off the walls and the ground.

Seeing him staring at the scene on the street, Gu Xu said, "It can be said that King Yin dug his own grave. For the sake of safety, he actually sent troops to control the families of his ministers."

Gu Yue nodded: "Fortunately we knew about this in advance, otherwise, it would be quite troublesome."

Last night, he had vividly described to Gu Xu the scene of him and Qin Zhaohong rescuing people, although Gu Xu's brows were frowned the whole time... Well, Gu Yue knew that he was worried about him, but everything was just as the Taoist had predicted in the end.

The road ahead is smooth and there will be no more troubles.

Gu Xu said: "Qin Zhaohong, you are very lucky."

"We are all very lucky." Gu Yue smiled, "Especially me."

He had run a lot of errands in the palace in the past few days, and he was basically familiar with the rest of the palace except for the harem. The two were allowed to ride in the car to the courtyard of the emperor's office area and get off in front of the vermilion gate.

Gu Yue jumped out of the car.

After crossing the courtyard and arriving at the door of the imperial study, the female official standing outside the door said, "Please stop, His Majesty has not yet left the court."

It's almost noon, and the court hasn't ended yet?

Not surprising, Gu Yue thought. Such a big thing happened yesterday, and there are indeed a lot of things to discuss today.

But then I heard Gu Xu say, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." The female official smiled.

Gu Yue looked carefully and noticed that the dashing woman in a round-necked robe in front of him was actually Yu Weishuang!

He subconsciously let go of the hand that was holding with Gu Xu.

Gu Xu looked at him, then reached out his hand again without saying anything, trying to hold it.
