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

Shao Wei retracted his gaze and said to Grandma Wang: "Don't talk nonsense, a girl's reputation is important."

Grandma Wang opened her mouth, closed it again, snorted, and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

……

After breakfast, Gu Qinghe walked out of the general's mansion openly. The two looked at each other in the dark, and one of them returned to Prince Wu's mansion.

"You said that Doctor Gu stayed at the General's Mansion last night?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. When Doctor Gu left this morning, it was General Shao and his son who personally saw him off."

There was no emotion on King Wu's face. After a long while, he let out a long breath. If Shao Wei got involved, it would be really troublesome.

This man is a complete reckless man.

Shao Wei originally had little presence in the capital. The King of Wu had only vaguely heard that there was a bastard in the Duke's Mansion who joined the army at a young age.

The real impression of Shao Wei was that year when Shao Wei reported the official who embezzled military pay in the court. The King of Wu was deeply impressed by his upright and unyielding appearance.

The King of Wu then knew that this unfavored bastard in the Duke's Mansion would definitely become a figure who could not be underestimated in the future.

It can be seen from the fact that he relied on himself to gain a firm foothold in the military camp and quietly brought down the old fox who had been corrupt for half his life.

And now that Shao Wei has defeated Lirang and won the favor of the emperor, it can be proved that his guess is not wrong.

The King of Wu has always been unwilling to provoke such people.

But things have come to this point, and he has no way out. The King of Wu gritted his teeth. If he had known this would happen, he should have been more decisive and cut the roots of the problem instead of being in a dilemma now.

After thinking for a moment, King Wu said, "Proceed as planned."

Gu Qinghe's stay at the general's mansion was not necessarily because of Shao Wei. King Wu heard that she saved Shao Wei's son when she came to the capital from Liangtuo.

Maybe it’s just Shao Wei’s son who likes her.

The subordinates left, and the King of Wu stayed alone in the study for a long time, until the servant came to report that Lord Yao had arrived. The King of Wu came back to his senses and said, "Please come in quickly."

Yao Shiliang walked in with a very serious expression. His frown made King Wu feel a little annoyed. "What are you doing here at this time?"

"Why can't I come over?" Yao Shiliang found a seat and sat down. He took a sip of the tea in front of King Wu without any hesitation. "You are not afraid of what you should be afraid of, but you are afraid of me coming over. There is no need to be so guilty."

Yao Shiliang is usually solemn and stern in front of outsiders, and the only person he can say a few casual words to King Wu.

Seeing the King of Wu's uneasy expression, Yao Shiliang turned his hand down and tapped the table twice with his index finger joint. "What are you thinking about? How can we get rid of the adopted daughter of the Chen family quietly?"

He shook his head. "If you ask me, you don't have to be so obsessed with this man. Even if a woman wants to redress the Chen family, what can she do? Since ancient times, there have been many unjust and wrong cases that people know about. How many of them can be overturned? Moreover, it is already a foregone conclusion that Chen Qingshan colluded with the enemy and killed Huo Qiu. How can she overturn it?"

King Wu frowned even deeper. "It's true that she is a woman, but don't forget that she inherited Zhiyao's medical skills. Judging from her deeds in the capital during this period, she clearly has a plan."

Saving Shao Wei's son, helping Yao Shiliang's concubine to get well, and even attending the eldest princess' banquet. Now he is getting closer to Pingyang. How could it be possible that there was no plan for all these things?

Yao Shiliang sneered, "Even if you have a plan, so what? If you ask me, you just take this person too seriously."

"I wasn't worried about this person at first, but I don't know who couldn't even discipline a concubine, causing her to get the earrings and become suspicious. If not, how could it be implicated to me!"

When he spoke to Yao Shiliang, he never cared about hierarchy and would only call himself "the king" when he was extremely angry.

Yao Shiliang inevitably felt guilty when talking about this, but he didn't want him to blame it on Aunt Liu, so he said, "Okay, what's the point of saying this now? Instead of worrying about her, you might as well worry about Huo Shibei."

"Huo Shibei?" King Wu was puzzled. "What happened to him?"

"Do you remember that I mentioned to you before that there seemed to be a survivor in the battle at Bazipo? My people investigated for a long time and finally found some clues, but today they came back to report that the person has disappeared and seemed to have been taken away in advance."

"Tell me, who else could have taken this person away besides Huo Shibei?"

King Wu said disdainfully, "Although I know Huo Shibei doesn't look as bad as he appears to be, do you think it's possible for him to find out that there are still survivors in the Battle of Bazipo and take them away before you do?"

Yao Shiliang also felt that the possibility was not high. He had been worried from the beginning that there might be someone alive, so he had been sending people to investigate. Sure enough, he found a loophole. As someone in the game, he had only just learned of the man's whereabouts. Even if Huo Shibei was good at disguising himself, it was impossible for him to take the man away before him.

unless……

His expression became even gloomier. "It's impossible with just him, but what if Shao Wei is added?"

The two looked at each other, both anxious.

I am not afraid of fighting those cunning old foxes, but I am afraid of meeting a young man like Shao Wei who seems to be stubborn in everything he does.

King Wu: "Your Majesty has approved it. It won't be long before I can leave the capital and go to my fiefdom. Once I leave here, the matter will come to an end."

He was not worried that Gu Qinghe would implicate him in everything that happened in the Chen family. After all, suspicion alone could not prove anything.

He was afraid because that person could not stand any stimulation now. Only when it came to her, would the King of Wu feel panic and fear.

I don't want any uncertainty to happen.

He said in a deep voice: "Perhaps I can talk to His Majesty again and advance the time of going to the fiefdom."

Yao Shiliang knew what he was thinking. He thought that this man was really confused because of caring too much. Over the years, he was usually well-behaved like an old monk in meditation. Only when it came to that person would he become brainless as if he had been bewitched.

Even if he went to his fiefdom and left the capital, what would it matter? If this matter was exposed, by then, let alone being in his fiefdom, he would have to return to the capital even if he was in the deep mountains and forests.

However, Yao Shiliang did not intend to say such words to dampen the King of Wu's mood. After all, in his opinion, the incident at Bazipo was obviously foolproof, and Huoqiu's death was tacitly approved by the superiors. What they did was just going with the flow.

But if things get out of hand, it will definitely be ugly. The person above has complicated feelings towards Huoqiu. Things that have been settled and people who have died should not be dragged out to affect people's mood.

Yao Shiliang came to see King Wu today just for this matter. Regardless of whether the living person was taken away by Huo Shibei or not, he must be eliminated.
