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

She calmed down, and in the quiet of the night Gu Qinghe could even hear her heart beating wildly.

After a long time, Ouyang Xia seemed to fall asleep accompanied by the clear aroma of wine. Gu Qinghe lowered his eyes and looked at her sleeping face. The tightly furrowed brows were completely different from the bold and unrestrained appearance she usually showed.

So is it because of those unknown experiences that you work hard to learn martial arts and study hidden weapons?

Her fighting power may not be the best, but the hidden weapon that is difficult to escape once used is her biggest trump card.

If the sister she was talking about also had such abilities, would the experience of the two sisters be better?

The wind messed up her hair, and Gu Qinghe gently helped her tidy it up. Her voice was so ethereal that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.

"Has no one praised that little sister for being brave?" Gu Qinghe had never experienced sleeping on a high roof in the middle of the winter night. She hid herself in her cloak, moved closer to Ouyang Xia, and sighed softly, "Let Grandma Wang make braised pork tomorrow."

Ouyang Xia loves the braised pork made by Grandma Wang and never gets tired of it even if she eats it every day.

Gu Qinghe fell asleep in a daze without knowing when, but Ouyang Xia beside him opened his eyes, and his blurry eyes became clear and watery.

She lifted up half of the cloak that was covering her body and covered Gu Qinghe with it, pretending to be disgusted and said, "Your little body, if you get sick tomorrow, you will definitely blame me."

Gu Qinghe couldn't stay on the roof all night. When it was almost dawn, she sneezed and Ouyang Xia carried her down and stuffed her into the warm quilt.

But even so, Gu Qinghe still fell ill after waking up.

The nasal tone was so strong that even Luo Feng could hear it.

Gu Qinghe was wrapped in a thick cloak, pinched her nose and drank the ginger tea made by Grandma Wang, and stuck out her tongue because of the spiciness.

Luo Feng quickly handed over the candied fruit and looked at her with blinking eyes and a distressed expression.

Granny Wang also looked puzzled. "How could he get sick? Is it because the bedding is too thin? I'll go get a thicker bed later."

Gu Qinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "It's not a problem with the bedding."

"That must be because you've been suffering these past few days. The eldest master said he took good care of you. How could you not get sick if you went into a place with such heavy yin energy?"

Granny Wang clasped her hands together and muttered something that Gu Qinghe couldn't understand, probably something like a prayer.

After drinking ginger tea, Gu Qinghe sat in the yard to bask in the sun. Just as he sat down, the doorman came in to report that Qi Mingyue had arrived.

Meeting again, the two of them were obviously more familiar with each other. Qi Mingyue sat opposite her with a smile, "I heard that you were imprisoned this time because you offended Li Qiulian from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Gu Qinghe took a sip of the warm tea and said in a deep voice: "It's fine for me, but the innocent lady who died was involved because of me."

If she hadn't gone to deliver the baby, Li Qiulian and her daughter wouldn't have thought about this family.

She indeed underestimated the shamelessness of this mother and daughter.

Qi Mingyue was a carefree person, so she waved her hand and said, "That's not the way to say it. After all, you are here to treat illnesses and save lives. If it weren't for you, it's unknown whether the woman could survive."

No, she had expected that the mother and daughter would find a way to attack her, but she still imagined that these two people were too kind. She never thought that in order to implicate Gu Qinghe, they would use the lives of innocent mother and daughter as an inducement.

Shameless people have no limits.

If Gu Qinghe had previously regarded the Prime Minister and his wife as mere strangers who were insignificant to him, he would become truly disgusted with them when he learned that the death of the mother and daughter might have been caused by them.

Gu Qinghe is not a kind and selfless person, but at least she does not despise life and regard it as lower than an ant.

People who have done bad things don't reflect on themselves, but she is reflecting on herself here.

Qi Mingyue nodded helplessly at the table and changed the subject, "I actually came here today for the Lin family. You probably don't know about Lin Shiqiang entering the palace a few days ago, right?"

She had been in the Dali Temple these days, so she probably didn't know much about the Lin family. Apart from the letter written by Qi Mingyue that day that mentioned the Lin family, Gu Qinghe hadn't heard any news about the Lin family at other times.

Qi Mingyue took a sip of tea, stopped fanning herself, and frowned, "Your Majesty should want to protect King Wu and suppress this matter. Lin Shiqiang knelt in the palace for several days, but Your Majesty didn't show any sign of softening his heart."

After listening to what he said about the past few days, Gu Qinghe also thought for a moment. Rather than saying that His Majesty favors King Wu, it would be better to say that His Majesty is protecting himself.

This matter is of deep concern, and a casual remark from the emperor can attract the ministers under him. They try to guess the emperor's thoughts and want to make the most suitable knife for him.

He could have distanced himself from the matter, saying that he knew nothing. It was those who secretly speculated on his thoughts who misunderstood and did the wrong thing.

But before disassociating himself from the matter, he couldn't act too cold, otherwise these knives would unite and turn against him.

"Do you think Lin Shiqiang goes to the palace every day to seek justice for his son?"

"What do you think it was for?"

Gu Qinghe was very annoyed to try to guess the intentions of these scheming people. That sinister, slippery and disgusting feeling would surround her.

"Didn't he say before that the emperor wanted to make the daughter of the Lin family the fourth prince's consort? There has been no movement for so long. What he wants should be a word from the emperor."

The Fourth Prince is the Emperor's most valued son. If the daughter of the Lin family can become the Fourth Prince's consort, it will prove that the Emperor has no intention of abandoning their Lin family.

This is also the reason why he has been trying so hard to help Lin Cong climb up over the years.

The Lin family had been doing business for generations, and most of the money they earned went into the national treasury. The emperor valued the Lin family and treated them with respect.

But the Lin family was always uneasy.

The Ming family's assets are more powerful than those of the Lin family, but they have Concubine Ming in the palace to support them.

And what does his Lin family have?

If one day I offend an important person, I'm afraid that my whole family will be exiled and my property will be confiscated.

So he wanted his son to enter the officialdom, but there were too many twists and turns in the officialdom, and his son was stupid, so he might not even know when he was being cheated.

So he wanted his son to go to the battlefield again.

The battlefield is good. There are not many generals in Rui Dynasty who can go into battle and kill the enemy. He has been immersed in the military camp for a few years. When he becomes the boss, he can spend a little money to buy off the relationship and attribute other people's military achievements to him, so that he can be seen by the emperor and let those who have their eyes on his Lin family see that his Lin family cannot be controlled by anyone.

But his son is really stupid.
