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

As the saying goes, so will it come true. Gu Qinghe's thoughts were still immersed in her mother's whereabouts, but she heard the respectful voice of the servant who led the way.

"Your Majesty."

Controlling the urge to raise his head suddenly, Gu Qinghe completely put aside all the emotions on his face and in his heart, slowly raised his head to look at King Wu, and moved to the side with the servants.

"This commoner has met His Majesty."

Unlike what Gu Qinghe had imagined, King Wu was a little overweight, with a kind look in his eyes, and looked like a harmless good man.

When she looked up, King Wu also looked at her, "What is this?"

The servant quickly replied, "Your Majesty, this is the guest invited by the princess."

Pingyang was very sensitive about the scars on her body. Those servants who knew about her scars were either dismissed or sold. Some who said the wrong thing were even beaten to death. Now, except for the two clever maids who followed her, almost no one knew about her scars.

This time people don’t know even more.

Hearing that the guest was invited by his daughter, King Wu nodded and walked towards the front hall. However, after taking a few steps, King Wu turned around and looked at Gu Qinghe's back with extreme indifference.

After he left, the servant led Gu Qinghe out of Prince Wu's Mansion.

After walking out of Prince Wu's Mansion, Gu Qinghe looked back at this somewhat majestic mansion. She was sure that no matter how indifferent Prince Wu had acted just now, Gu Qinghe still caught the flash of gloom in his eyes.

He knew Gu Qinghe, so at least he should have sent someone to check on her.

Gu Qinghe let out a breath slowly. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the King of Wu. It was not a mistake for him to come here today.

But the more this happened, the more anxious she became.

Her mood was in a mess. She couldn't think of any plans or arrangements at this moment. She just wanted to turn around and grab the collar of King Wu to question him.

After a long struggle between reason and impulse, her temples throbbing, Gu Qinghe slowly turned around and met the eyes of Gao Cun, who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Although Gao Cun has been with Shao Wei for several years, his personality is not at all like Shao Wei.

He grinned at Gu Qinghe, seeming a little unsure if it was the right time for him to show up.

Gu Qinghe slumped his shoulders, relaxed his whole body, and said helplessly, "Shao Wei really wants you to follow me from now on?"

"That's not necessarily true," Gao Cun said honestly, "If there is a need for a war someday, I will definitely follow the general to the battlefield."

Speaking of going to the battlefield, Gu Qinghe suddenly remembered the war in which Shao Wei died in his previous life.

It seemed that two years later, Lirang, which had surrendered and personally sent its princess to Ruichao for marriage, joined forces with other countries to launch another war against Ruichao. Shao Wei died in this war, and there were not many generals available in the capital. Gu Qinghe only remembered that during that period of time, Wei Yanzhou was extremely irritable every time he came back from outside.

When she died, the war seemed to be still going on.

In her previous life, Gu Qinghe was very sad and surprised by Shao Wei's sacrifice, but when she thinks about it now, she feels that there are doubts everywhere.

With Gao by his side, Li Rang's defeat was already apparent, so how could he die from an old illness that had already been cured?

Was someone trying to harm him, or was it really just an accident?

Seeing her in a trance, Gao Cun cleared his throat and said, "The young master wanted to see you today, so the general asked me to ask you if you want to have a meal at your residence."

Having a meal was just an excuse. The real reason was that Shao Wei must have something to talk to her about.

Gu Qinghe naturally agreed immediately and followed Gao Cun to the general's mansion.

As soon as you enter the general's mansion, the aroma of food hits your nose.

Gu Qinghe sniffed, "What a nice smell! Did Grandma Wang make braised pork? I'm in for a treat today."

"Not only that, not only that," Luo Feng ran over like a calf, threw himself in front of Gu Qinghe and hugged her legs, "Grandma Wang also made pickled duck, lotus seed soup, and osmanthus cake today."

Gu Qinghe had never tried the pickled duck and lotus seed soup made by Grandma Wang, but she had eaten the braised pork and osmanthus cake last time, and the taste was indeed enough to make people miss it often.

The osmanthus cake made by Grandma Wang is very soft and fluffy in the mouth. It is not very sweet, but the fragrance of osmanthus is more intense.

Gu Qinghe rubbed Luo Feng's little head and said, "It's only been a few days since we last met, but you seem to have grown a lot taller."

When Luo Feng heard this, he straightened his chest and was quite proud. "Daddy taught me boxing these days. Daddy said that if I can exercise early every day, I will grow faster."

Gu Qinghe laughed, "Where's your father?"

"In the study," he patted his head and then remembered, "Uncle Huo is also here. Dad asked me to pick up Sister Gu."

Huo Shibei was there too.

Gu Qinghe's eyes lit up, thinking that there must be news about Niu Jun.

She hurriedly took Luo Feng over, and as soon as they arrived at the study door, Gao Cun directly carried away the reluctant Luo Feng, and gave Gu Qinghe a look, telling her to just push the door open.

Shao Wei and Huo Shibei were drinking tea in the study. When they saw her come in, Huo Shibei poured her a cup of tea in a familiar manner, raised his eyebrows at her, and smiled, "Doctor Gu is here."

Both of them are good at hiding their emotions. Gu Qinghe couldn't tell for a moment whether Huo Shibei came here today just to reminisce about the past or to bring good news.

Perhaps knowing her urgency, Shao Wei glanced at Huo Shibei and coughed lightly, "Let's talk business."

Huo Shibei clicked his tongue and stared at Shao Wei.

Based on his understanding of Shao Wei over the years, there was something wrong with this kid, very wrong.

If it was just a suspicion last time at Yue Xin Tower, Huo Shibei could now almost confirm it.

He scratched his head. If that was true, then he really couldn't tease Doctor Gu. After all, Shao Wei was mentally ill and couldn't tell what was a joke.

If we get serious about it and beat him up, it would be unjust.

Putting away his carelessness, Huo Shibei said: "I found the Niu Jun you mentioned. He is indeed still alive."

Huo Shibei also learned from Shao Wei about the Niu Zhuang that Li Kuo mentioned. The two brothers used to be soldiers under Chen Qingshan. Judging from Niu Zhuang's performance, he must be very dissatisfied with Chen Qingshan's treason and killing of General Huo.

But Niu Zhuang alone cannot explain anything. Niu Jun is different. He survived among the corpses all over the mountains of Bazipo. He knows what happened in the battle, and he knows what happened between General Huo and Chen Qingshan at that time.

"What did he say?" Gu Qinghe's voice trembled a little.

Huo Shibei shook his head. "He refuses to say anything. He thinks all the Chen family members are dead. There's no point in saying this. Maybe if you go there, you can get him to talk."

Gu Qinghe wanted to drag Huo Shibei away right now, but Shao Wei saw through her thoughts at a glance.
