Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The prime minister was aware of how ugly the emperor's expression was. He swallowed his words of rebuttal and fell silent.

After a long while, the emperor spoke, "This matter is all thanks to Lord Shao. If not, this man who is blinded by greed and greed and can even kill his own wife would have succeeded."

He looked at Gu Qinghe again, "I'm sorry for wronging you, but Prime Minister Li is right. We can't conclude that the mastermind behind this is someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion just by looking at a handkerchief. It won't be easy to find more evidence, and it's really troublesome to keep entangled like this."

He seemed to have thought it over seriously, and said seriously: "How about this, since you and General Shao love each other, how about I help you get married?"

"On the wedding day, I will go and ask for a glass of wedding wine myself."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty," Gu Qinghe smiled helplessly, "but it's a little early for me to be granted marriage. I have studied medicine for many years and have the same ambition as Master. I plan to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Rui Dynasty. When I meet Master again one day, I will bring her back and it won't be too late to talk about marriage."

The emperor was not angry at her words, but laughed heartily twice, "You young people have your own ideas, which is a good thing, but I see that Shao Wei is not young anymore, you should be more considerate of him, and don't let this kid come to me crying later."

If you don’t know, you might think Shao Wei and the emperor are very close.

Gu Qinghe smiled and nodded somewhat shyly.

The farce ended in such an absurd way. The Prime Minister's wife and Li Qiulian did not receive any punishment, and Gu Qinghe received some rewards, which were said to help her calm down. The matter ended there.

Everyone's heart is as clear as a mirror.

After all the people left, the emperor closed his eyes. Ming Fei continued to massage his forehead and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. This matter is over now."

The emperor's eyes were deep, and he shook his head. "I know that this is not the right way to deal with it, but I have no choice. Before I ascended the throne, I relied on Prime Minister Li to protect me and help me sit in this position. The Prime Minister's wife was kidnapped by thieves because those people wanted to give me a warning and alienate me from Prime Minister Li."

"That's his only child. He and his wife have a very good relationship. His wife resents him and hates him. I know it all, but I can't do anything about it. I don't have the face to persuade him to take a concubine and have another child. If I really did that, the prime minister's wife would be innocent."

"Later, they adopted Li Qiulian. The first time I saw this girl, I knew she was no ordinary girl. But for me, this was not only a lifeline for the Prime Minister and his wife, but also a lifeline that pulled me out of my guilt."

"Over the years, I have treated the Prime Minister's Mansion well, but with all these things happening one after another, when will I be able to stop worrying?"

Ming Fei listened to him quietly, comforted him at the right time, and said what she meant without hesitation, "Your Majesty is too kind. After so many years, the great favor should be repaid. It is true that Prime Minister Li was kind to Your Majesty in the past, but to be honest, it is the duty of a minister to do his best for the monarch. Your Majesty should not take all the responsibility on himself. It will make you feel guilty."

She paused and spoke again, "A few days ago, my niece came to the palace to accompany me for two days. Speaking of which, my niece has received the kindness of Doctor Gu, and she has a good relationship with this girl."

"I heard from her that when Doctor Gu came back from Chizhou, he was accompanied by two young men. One of them was said to be the third prince of Yun State. If that is true, this woman must have some skills."

The emperor knew about this. After all, the third prince of Yun had a special status, and Shao Wei must have informed him in advance of his plan to stay in Rui Dynasty.

So he had received the news a long time ago, but Shao Wei had already made arrangements for the safety of the Third Prince, so he did not make it too public, in order to avoid revealing the identity of the Third Prince, which would cause trouble.

Shao Wei's original letter clearly stated that it was this Gu Qinghe who found the third prince of Yun State and rescued him from the slave traders.

The emperor felt a dull pain in his forehead. The only thing he was thankful for was that Shao Wei was not in the capital. Otherwise, given his personality, he would never agree with his muddleheaded way of handling the matter.

He patted the back of Ming Fei's hand and said, "It's lonely in this palace. If you are bored, you can call your niece to accompany you from time to time."

Ming Fei nodded, "I understand."

The emperor didn't ask her to call Mingxuan to accompany him at all. It was obvious that he had other intentions. He wanted her to get closer to Gu Qinghe so that when General Shao came back one day, he could ask Gu Qinghe to say a few words for him.

After dealing with the mess here, there was still a member of the Lin family locked up in the imperial study. When the emperor thought about it, not only did his temples hurt, but his heart also started pounding.

He called Eunuch Xu and said impatiently, "Go, send Lin Shiqiang back to the Lin family and tell the Lin family that if he happens again, I will never let him off easily!"

……

The shackles on Gu Qinghe's wrists were taken off. Outside the palace there was a carriage prepared by Shao Xingjian. Mingxuan, Ouyang Xia and others were standing in front of the carriage waiting for her.

As soon as she saw her coming out, she rushed over. He Shumin had shallow tear ducts and was the first to cry. She pulled Gu Qinghe up and down and looked her up and down, "My parents were so scared that I haven't slept for the past few days."

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have caused my uncle and aunt to worry. I will go and apologize in person some other day."

He Shumin glared at her, "You're so talkative, are you hungry? Have you only eaten steamed buns in there these days? Look how skinny you are, there's no flesh on your cheeks."

That's not the case. Gu Qinghe ate a lot during the days he was locked up in Dali Temple. He must have lost weight because he was thinking too much.

She hadn't had so much free time in a long time, and all her time was spent studying the file that Shao Xingjian had given her earlier.

Gu Qinghe could even memorize every word on it completely.

Mingxuan rolled her eyes and said, "How come I didn't notice any weight loss? I lost a few pounds because of her running around these past two days, but you didn't notice it at all."

While the two of them were bickering, Gu Qinghe looked at Ouyang Xia.

She felt that there seemed to be something different in Ouyang Xia's expression, as if it was the same change that had occurred since the day she helped that family deliver a baby.

Gu Qinghe still remembers her pale face at that time.

There was a commotion outside, and several people got on the carriage. Mingxuan said that Luo Feng insisted on coming along, but Xiaocheng was also in the general's mansion at the time, and there was also Lan Yu, so she simply didn't bring anyone along and let the three of them wait at home.

Ever since Gu Qinghe got into trouble, Xiaocheng has been going to the general's mansion every day.

But every time I went there, I never saw Gu Qinghe come back, so I could only go back with disappointment in my eyes.
