Cannon Fodder Eunuch Self-Rescue Guide

Gu Yu sat alone in the room, he originally thought to stay here until dark.

It just so happened that Shao Ze had already moved out of the palace, and today they could go out and have a good time, as a celebration of his housewarming.

Unexpectedly, the people under his command discovered Concubine Hui's secret attempt to poison her.

In desperation, Gu Yu didn't have time to speak to Shao Ze, so he hurriedly got into the carriage and returned to the palace.

Now he is working in the Supervisor of Rituals, on the surface it looks like just a small job of sorting memorials.

But Duan Ye didn't know what was going on, so he sent many people over to him, asking him to pay close attention to the harem.

"You mean, you found out that Concubine Hui recently secretly bribed the palace servants and brought medicines?" Gu Yu frowned, staring at the little eunuch who came to report seriously.

"Yes, my lord. It has been going on for a few days."

"At first, the younger one thought it was Concubine Hui, she was in poor health, so she didn't take it to heart."

"Just now, the little one accidentally saw Concubine Hui's personal maid, and secretly buried things under a small tree not far from the yard."

While talking, the little eunuch respectfully handed the cloth bag dug out to Gu Yu: "This is dug up by the little one without permission, please take a look at it."

Gu Yu reached out to take the cloth bag and opened it, and saw that the bag was full of boiled medicine residue.

It exudes a tangy smell, which suddenly smells like medicine, but after smelling it for a long time, you will feel something is wrong, and it is clear that there is an unusual fragrance here.

Women in the palace generally don't like things that are too fragrant, for fear that those unusual fragrances will kill them in severe cases, or injure them in some cases.

Gu Yu took out a few golden melon seeds from the table and distributed them to the little eunuch who came to report the news: "Go back and share one point with the brothers. On average, each of you gets two."

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the little eunuch, and the corner of his mouth opened: "Hey, I understand, sir, please rest."

Gu Yu stared at the untied residue on the table. What he was sure of now was that this thing would definitely endanger people's health.

As for whether it will endanger his life, he can't tell.

Concubine Hui, a woman, began to stay behind closed doors after her son's death.

She thought she had accepted her fate and planned to spend the rest of her days in the palace, but now it seems that she has underestimated her.

Gu Yu stood up and secretly grabbed a handful of medicine dregs, threw it into a warm teapot, and shook it a few times.

Wait until all the properties of the medicine are in the tea, then gently scoop it up with a spoon.

Pour the medicine dregs back into the cloth bag, and hastily stuff it into the sleeve.

Opening the door, I saw the little eunuch standing outside, and waved at him gently, "Go to your room and deliver the tea to the side hall of Qinzheng Palace."

"Yes." The little eunuch nodded slightly, reached out and picked up the teapot rudely, about to leave.

Gu Yu frowned, and looked at him with unfriendly eyes: "Be careful, this is the Emperor's favorite tea, if you spill a drop, you won't be able to afford it with your whole life."

"Yes, I understand." The little eunuch smiled and left with the teapot firmly in his arms.

Gu Yu stood there quietly until he watched the little eunuch's back disappear, then hurried out of the room and walked towards the lake not far away.

He remembered that when he just passed through, there was a whole lake in the area he was in charge of sweeping.

Few people go to the remote place, but now it seems that it is an excellent place to throw medicine.

Along the way, Gu Yu straightened his back and headed towards places with a lot of people, and he went wherever there were a lot of people.

When you meet someone, you first come forward to say hello with a smile, giving you the appearance of being in a good mood today.

Everyone looked at the corner of his damaged mouth, and at the smiling man who couldn't see his eyes, all of them had a clear look.

"What's the matter today, Mr. Gu is not as cold as usual, even if we meet, he should walk around us without squinting."

A guard secretly glanced at the corner of Gu Yu's mouth, and smiled maliciously: "You are stupid, look at the corner of his mouth, and think about the rumors that started yesterday."

Gu Yu: "..."

He forgot that he broke the corner of his mouth at Shao Ze's place just now, and now it's all right, he personally ended up making the rumors spread more widely.

Gu Yu's complexion changed, his cheeks flushed, he forced himself to be calm and laughed, quickly skipped the gossip crowd, and turned into a deserted alley.

Turning his head to see that no one was following behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After turning a few turns, he finally saw the clear lake, his eyes lit up instantly, he ran forward, took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it away.

Seeing the cloth bag gradually sinking into the lake, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned and left.

"Master, shall we go?" A man in black bowed respectfully and asked the silent King Xuan standing behind the rockery.

Shao Qi smiled, and looked at the place where the cloth bag sank: "Go and fish it up."

"Yes." The man in black froze for a moment, then quickly moved and jumped into the water, groping for the cloth bag in the lake.

The water in the lake in late October was extremely bitter, and the icy water was soaked in the black clothes that were rarely worn.

The man in black who was groping in the lake turned pale, pursed his lips, and continued to grope calmly.

After a while, the wet man held a cloth bag soaked in lake water, stood in the air vent behind the rockery, and bent over.

There was no tremor in the voice, and he said calmly: "Master, this cloth bag has been soaked in water, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter." Shao Qi waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't let you go down because I wanted to check. After all, this place is not too_safe. You find a way to go out by yourself, and you must deal with the things in your hands before returning to the palace."

"Yes." The man in black disappeared in a flash, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.

Shao Qi thought about the movement of Gu Yu coming over just now, and interest flashed in his eyes.

As expected of a person who stirs up the situation with his own power, his mind is very clever.

Knowing that coming here with great fanfare is better than sneaking in, he knew the formula of this medicine without looking at it, and he asked Duan Ye to send it to Concubine Hui.

The original intention was to allow Concubine Hui to poison Concubine Xian. It would be great if she could poison Concubine Xian to death in one fell swoop.

It doesn't matter if the poison doesn't kill him, anyway, he can seriously injure Chengwang. As far as he knows, his father has attached great importance to Chengwang for some reason recently.

I wanted to remind my father to remind him of what King Cheng and Concubine Xian did in the past, but now it seems that Gu Yu has stirred up the water even more muddy,

So good.

As soon as Gu Yu stepped into the Qinzheng Hall, he felt the unusual atmosphere in the hall.

With a flash of light in his eyes, he quickly walked in and glanced at the hall.

In the middle lay a corpse that had apparently cooled down.

The corpse bleeds to death from the seven orifices. Black blood slowly overflows from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Gu Yu stepped back abruptly. Although he knew that it was poison and would cause harm to the human body, he didn't know that he would die so miserable.

Shao Jie raised his eyes gloomyly, looked at Gu Yu who was standing at the door, and sneered: "Why, I know I'm back, it feels good outside."

Gu Yu forced a laugh, carefully walked around the corpse on the ground step by step, walked to Shao Jie's side, and smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, this servant is late."

Shao Jie glanced at the corner of Gu Yu's mouth, and a cool voice came: "Yes, you can collect the body for me when you come back later."

"This..." Gu Yu glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Your Majesty, you are joking."

"You're joking!" Shao Jie overturned the things on the table, and said in a bitter voice, "If this little eunuch hadn't come up to flatter me and insisted on testing me for the poison of tea, the one lying there now would be me!"

Turning his head to look at Gu Yu, full of murderous intent, he twisted his smile: "You mean, is Zhen joking with you now?"

Gu Yu's waist bent even lower, sweat overflowed from his forehead, and his lips trembled so that he dared not open his mouth.

Since he came here, he hasn't seen the emperor get angry so much. Usually, even when he is angry, he is gentle and gentle, smiling.

Today was the first time he felt the killing intent from Shao Jie.

Seeing Gu Yu's timid look, Shao Jie became less suspicious, and casually asked, "I asked you to proclaim the imperial decree, what did you do, why did you come back so late."

"Servant, servant..." Gu Yu's complexion changed, and he knelt down with a plop, lowering his head to suppress the fear in his heart:

"When the servant passed by, King Wei was taking a bath, so he pulled the servant and refused to let him go."

"The servant is guilty, please punish the emperor."

Shao Jie snorted coldly when he heard this, and his smile couldn't reach his eyes: "It's really good, I almost died here, but you are happy like a fairy."

Looking around at the servants who were kneeling on the ground, "Drinking a cup of tea can kill you. I seem to be in the way of your eyes. Since this is the case, it is better for you to sit on the throne."

The people in the room hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Gu Yu looked up at the corpse in the middle, and winked at a servant who was close to him next to him.

However, the servant was trembling and did not dare to move, Gu Yu rolled his eyes and sighed.

Looking at the emperor's face, he knew in his heart that something might have happened, and everyone in the room immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

No one cares about the endgame on the ground, doesn't the more you look at it, the more annoyed you become.

"Your Majesty, should I find someone to move this away?" Gu Yu raised his head and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

Most of the anger in his heart was washed away at once, Shao Jie rubbed his brows and nodded silently.

The guards waiting outside hurried in and dragged away the corpses underground, while the eunuchs in the house cleaned up the mess one by one.

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to take a breath, for fear of provoking the emperor's anger and dragging them down to death.

Gu Yu rolled his eyes, stood up and took out a few pieces of exquisitely carved objects from his arms, and presented them with both hands:

"Your Majesty, this is bought by a servant who passed by the stall outside and looked good. You can see if the carving is quite exquisite. This workmanship can be compared to the craftsmanship in the palace."

Everyone quietly looked sideways.

Mr. Gu is just very courageous, he came in to chat and laugh, and now he dares to fool the emperor with folk things, the emperor has never seen such a good thing in the world.

I'm afraid this will stumble and let him show off for no reason.

For a while, everyone was watching the show, only a small number of people who could talk to Gu Yu silently sweated for him.

Shao Jie was already in an irritable mood, but now he just wanted to be alone and quiet, how could he think that this kid would dare to come up to him now.

Picking up the newly placed teacup on the table, he slammed it on Gu Yu's feet: "Get out, you bastard."

The hot tea was down to the trouser legs, Gu Yu didn't mind the wet trouser legs at all, he still held the things forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, just take a look, I promise this thing is good."

The eyeballs turned nimbly: "If it's not good, I will punish the servants to not eat for a day."

Shao Jie sneered and joked: "You don't eat for a day, and when you come to my place to have some cakes, wouldn't you be hungry?"

"Your majesty is wise." Gu Yu smiled with a ruffian face, stretched out his hand to touch his head,

"These are the four jade plaques that the servants bought outside. They all have very good meanings. Don't you really want to take a look at them, Your Majesty?"

The voice was aggrieved, and the eyes dimmed: "This is a waste of three months' salary of the servant, a big deal."

Shao Jie sighed helplessly, reached out to take the box in Gu Yu's hand, and opened it.

Four flawless jade plaques lay in the box.

The jade pendant looks unscarred from the outside, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a high-quality white jade.

I'm afraid that there are not many companies in the whole capital that can have this kind of thing.

Take a closer look at the engravings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, four plants with excellent meanings.

It's really a big deal, and it doesn't look like it was bought casually on the street.

This kid probably got the news and brought over the treasured items for many years.

Shao Jie looked at Gu Yu with a half-smile and said, "This thing is really generous, why didn't I know that you could have so much salary, maybe it was corruption behind my back."

"I'm wronged, Your Majesty." Gu Yu shouted loudly, the grievance in his eyes could hardly be resolved: "It's not that the people below are filial, and the servants dare not enjoy it privately, so they borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"En." Shao Jie took out a piece of white jade and looked carefully at the sunlight outside.

"This thing is really not something you can enjoy. Do you know the meaning of this."

Gu Yu glanced at the orchid engraved on the jade tablet and an osmanthus flower engraved next to it, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This person is also strangely holding grudges: "This is an orchid, which symbolizes noble character, elegance and virtue. Merging with sweet-scented osmanthus means that future generations will be excellent."

"It seems that you also know a lot."

Seeing Shao Jie's mocking face brightly, Gu Yu gritted his teeth secretly, and replied with a blunt smile:

"That's not right, the slaves know everything. But the slaves don't care about the issue of children, why bother about these things."

Shao Jie was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that this would not irritate Gu Yu, his eyes were blank.

"It's a great blessing for a servant to be by the emperor's side in this life. How can I still have those heirs?"

What's more, what kind of child does he want as a gay, wouldn't it be nice for two people to live with him?

Shao Jie was startled, and then burst out laughing.Although this is a flattering technique used by the subordinates, Gu Yu always makes others feel that he is sincere when he says it.

Shao Jie's heart beat violently, his heart full of gloom was exuded, and his eyes looked at Gu Yu.

It's no wonder that he dotes on Gu Yu and pampers him unconditionally. This person is sweet-mouthed and has outstanding abilities. It's better to stay by his side.

Shao Jie played with the jade card in his hand, and said in a calm tone, "When you went to proclaim the imperial edict, what did King Wei look like?"

Gu Yu was taken aback for a moment, his mind spinning rapidly.

He could obviously sense the change in the emperor's aura, and replied cautiously: "King Wei seems a little unhappy about receiving the imperial edict."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Gu Yu pretended to recall the scene at that time, "After the king of Wei heard that the slaves had finished reading the imperial decree, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face darkened more than half."

Shao Jie nodded, "Did you tell him that you were going to fief the land?"

"Say it." Gu Yu pursed his lips, his face turned pale, and he stretched out his hand to pat his chest: "After the servant girl finished speaking, King Wei was very happy, so he dragged the servant girl..."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the servant to come back late and cause you such harm."

Shao Jie nodded clearly, he was negligent.

He didn't even consider that his cheap son loved Gu Yu so much. He thought it was just a temporary novelty, and when the novelty passed, Gu Yu would definitely die in the fief.

Now it seems that if he puts Gu Yu in the fief, wouldn't it increase the bargaining chip of his cheap son.

"You'd better stay by my side, don't go as we agreed before."

Gu Yu looked at Shao Jie suddenly, with a look of astonishment in his eyes: "What about the fief?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Shao Jie sat back in the chair and fell silent, closing his eyes and thinking about everything that happened recently.

Since he brought Shao Ze up, Shao Ze swept away his submissive style, and behaved more and more out of the ordinary.

He didn't mind before, and he smiled slightly when he heard the report, and let him develop freely.

However, just now he suddenly thought, what if Shao Ze also wanted this position.

If he wanted this position, he had to choose one aspect from the support of courtiers and military exploits.

Above the court, he strictly controlled it, and Shao Ze couldn't get in.Then there is only military merit.

Thinking of the prime minister's suggestion to let Shao Ze go to the frontier, a trace of hostility flashed in Shao Jie's eyes. It seemed that this group of people thought I was a fool.

Then I will not let you do what you want!

"Your Majesty, we have found the source of the poison."

Shao Jie opened his eyes full of hostility, and said in a deep voice, "Speak."

"The source of the poison comes from Concubine Hui's palace. According to the investigation, Concubine Hui secretly brewed medicine many times recently."

"The minister led people to interrogate the palace servants in Concubine Hui's palace. One of the palace servants said that he heard the servant girl next to Concubine Hui say that this medicine was supposed to be given to Concubine Xian, but somehow it got to you. "

Shao Jie sneered, looked at the leader of the Forbidden Army standing in front of him, and waved his hands wearily:

"Take someone to surround the palace of Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui. Remove all the palace people from the two palaces, and ask me carefully."

"Yes." The leader cupped his fists to accept the order, saluted, got up and walked out.

"Gu Yu, go and check it out too, let me find out the reason, and find out the dirty things in these two palaces."

Gu Yu's eyes flashed, he bent down and said yes.

In a calm tone, he proposed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I wonder if it is possible for His Highness the Crown Prince to investigate with the servants."

"Oh?" Shao Jie tilted his head and looked at Gu Yu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Why did you ask the prince to investigate with you?"

Gu Yu looked at Shao Jie solemnly and seriously, his eyes full of worry, "If you go back to the emperor, the prince is the prince of a country, and he must be fair and just when he does things."

"The servant girl thinks that some places are inconvenient and can be handed over to the prince for verification. Then it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"That's right."

Gu Yu responded and exited the Hall of Qinzheng, and the people around him watched Gu Yu retreat completely, feeling more and more awed in their hearts.

The person who can persuade the emperor who is in a rage to laugh, is amazing!

Although the current emperor doesn't often kill people to see blood, the only two times were done under the eyes of the big guy.

These two times of killing chickens and monkeys are quite effective, and the palace people in the Palace of Qinzheng do things according to the rules.

Normally, I would only care about Yu Ma's head and respect him respectfully.

Now after this incident, I'm afraid he will admire Gu Yu even more.

Soon teams of guards in the palace began to shuttle frequently in the palace, each with a solemn expression on their faces.

The crown prince and Gu Yu were each in charge of a palace, and they tortured and interrogated the palace people all night long.

Questions came out of his mouth one after another, Gu Yu had been sitting in a room full of torture instruments for four days.

In the past four days, he sat here almost day and night, interrogating the palace servants in Concubine Hui's palace.

Looking at the bloody palace man, it took just four days from the initial nausea and vomiting, forcing himself to sit here and listen to the interrogation, to his pale face and numb body.

A dozen hands stepped forward to punch Gu Yu, and the voice was full of anger: "My lord, this man can't hold on and has died."

Gu Yu supported the chair with his arms, rubbed his temples with his hands, and waved his hands wearily: "Drag on, continue."

"Yes."

The eyes watched the thugs skillfully untie the pieces of meat that could no longer be called human beings from the torture rack, and dragged them without mercy before disappearing around the corner.

Another thug dragged a court lady who had already served two rounds of punishment and was unconscious in a corner.

With a flick of his hand, he slapped his bloody body vigorously.

'Well....'

Gu Yu silently watched the thugs crackling, and said wearily: "Okay, let me ask."

Standing up and stepping on the pieces of meat on the ground, she walked to the maid, and said in a low voice, "Just tell me how you sent the poison to the emperor's palace, and I will spare your life and let you leave the palace early."

There was a heavy panting sound next to his ear, and Gu Yu waited for a while without hearing anyone reply.

The feeling of powerlessness in my heart became stronger, and I sighed helplessly: "You hang here and you will suffer, and I will suffer too, and these thugs will suffer too."

"If you want to get rid of it as soon as possible, why not say it out, I remember that there is an elderly mother and a young brother outside your palace."

Gu Yu smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to lift the maid's chin, "Why don't you guess if I have the ability to get your seven-year-old brother into the palace."

He let go of his hand, stepped on the pieces of meat on the ground without changing his face, sat on the chair gracefully, and raised his legs: "Everyone in this palace knows my name. I don't lack anything now. With power and power, there is a backer behind him, and he has the emperor's favor."

"The only thing missing now is a well-behaved son. I see that you have beautiful features, and I think your brother is not bad."

After the words fell, Gu Yu waited for the person opposite to speak with a smile on his face.

However, it was doomed to fail, Gu Yu's complexion changed, his tone was vicious, and he stood up: "Okay, it seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin."

Turning around and shouting outside the door: "Bring it in."

The door creaked and opened, which was very clearly heard in the silent room.

The palace maid on the rack suddenly raised her head, and said anxiously with a terrified face, her voice was high-pitched and even broken: "Don't, I'll say it. I'll say it!"

Gu Yu lifted his chin and nodded: "Say."

The maid's tears streamed down, her eyes blurred: "This servant girl is originally a little maid in Concubine Hui's palace, and she can't compare to Sister Li'er who has been serving her all year round."

"Just a few days ago, Sister Li'er found the servant girl suddenly, saying that the empress is sick, and she has no way to contact the outside world now, so she wants the servant girl to find a way."

Gu Yu sneered: "So you just go obediently?"

With a wave of his hand, the thug immediately raised his thick arm and swung the whip.

"Ah..." The palace maid screamed, a mouthful of blood spewed out of her mouth, and she breathed heavily.

"Slave servant... Slave servant wants to climb up, so thinking that this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, I was confused for a moment and made a big mistake."

"The servant also knows many people who participated, so I beg you to let the servant's younger brother go."

Gu Yu stood up, and casually patted the dust off his body: "Write down the name of the person she said and report it to me. I'll wait outside the door."

With a blank expression on his face, he walked slowly to the door, opened the door, and stepped out.

In the next second, his expression collapsed, he bent over and clutched his appetite with his left hand, his face was pale, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead.

"Oh, Gu thought you were so powerful, but it turned out that you were just pretending."

Gu Yu raised his pale cheeks, and looked at Shao Hong, who was holding his arms under a tree not far away, with a mocking smile on his face.

Slowly straightened up, put down his left hand, and said with a casual smile: "Your Highness is really leisurely, it seems that the concubine you are interrogating is going quite smoothly in the palace?"

Shao Hong's complexion changed a bit, and then he burst out laughing and raised his head, "Gu is a prince, you don't need to go in and suffer the punishment yourself, and you don't need to go around trying to curry favor with you."

"Your Highness was joking, it's just my job."

"My job?" Shao Hong walked a few steps quickly, and stood in front of Gu Yu viciously: "I don't know, is it better to be on Wei Wang's bed or to be lonely?"

Then he laughed again, with contempt in his voice: "Your job shouldn't be like this, seduce people everywhere."

Gu Yu: "..." How can he compare this, he has never tried the two, and with all due respect, he doesn't know either.

The smile on Gu Yu's face changed, his eyes were wild, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, the king of Wei likes to be below. The slaves really can't compare."

Shao Hong: "..."

Gu Yu's eyes shifted, and his tone was ambiguous, "Your Highness is still thinking about your servants, right? Your servants can serve His Highness now."

"Really?!" Shao Hong swept away the previous contempt, his eyes lit up, and he held Gu Yu's shoulders with both hands: "When can it be?"

Gu Yu lowered his eyes to cover the calculating light in his eyes: "Your Highness, can you help this servant get rid of a person."

Stepping forward, whispered a person's name in Shao Hong's ear, and then backed away slightly.

"Small, isn't he just a child of a family. How do you want him to die?"

Gu Yu flashed past fiercely, and sneered, "Of course, the worse the better."

"Okay. How about you accompany Gu after finishing him off?"

"Okay. The slaves will never break their promises."

The door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a bloody thug came out of the door, looking at His Royal Highness who suddenly appeared outside the door, he bent his knees: "See Your Highness, this is the name of the person who was just interrogated by this servant."

Shao Hong waved his hand indifferently, turned and left.

Gu Yu reached out to take the paper from the thug, glanced at the familiar name on the paper, his eyes flickered, and he patted the thug's arm calmly.

"Good job. Thank you for your hard work. Everyone has a day off tonight."

"Slaves and maidservants are unfortunate, and they will serve you loyally, and will not hesitate to die!"

Gu Yu patted his hands, turned and left without saying a word.

He has to go to the business, and it has been too long now, if the business is not done, the emperor will be angry.

Inside the Hall of Qinzheng, Gu Yu bent down and handed over the freshly baked paper with both hands: "My Majesty, this is the news I got when my servant interrogated a maid in Concubine Hui's Palace."

"According to what she explained, it was people like Paper who helped them bring the medicine out of Concubine Hui's palace smoothly."

Shao Jie glanced at the unfamiliar name on the paper, frowned and thought for a while, but had no memory.

"Do you have any impression of these people?"

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded, "These are all the eunuchs who work in the Qinzheng Hall all year round, and one of them is in charge of arranging your meals."

"Okay, very good!" Shao Jie slapped his palm on the table, his chest rose and fell, and his eyes showed a fierce look.

The person in charge of meals actually got involved.

If it wasn't for a strange eunuch who was anxious to stand out that day and insisted on trying it out for himself, I'm afraid he would have passed away long ago.

Thinking that the eunuchs who are usually in charge of his meals have problems, his heart is cold. It is easy for these people to poison, and he will not even notice.

"I treat them well, and I never beat or scold them, but I repay them like this."

Shao Jie clenched his fingers little by little, and the paper in his hand was balled up.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Shao Jie sneered: "How can I appease my anger? Without my knowledge, my life has already been threatened. It's ridiculous that I don't know it, hahahaha."

The laugh on his face gradually stopped, and his fingers rubbed the ring on his thumb.

"Come on."

Several burly eunuchs came in from outside the door, Shao Jie looked gloomy, and pointed to the ball of paper on the ground: "Catch this man for me, peel the skin and cramps, and feed the bones to the dogs!"

"Yes."

Cold sweat gradually rose from Gu Yu's back. He once again realized that the feudal society did not take human life seriously, it was so ruthless and cruel.

As long as the superior thinks you deserve to die like this, you have to die like this, there is no room for negotiation.

"Gu Yu."

Gu Yu shuddered all over, trying to suppress the fear in his heart: "The servant is here."

"I heard that you have been in the Punishment Department for the past few days, even eating in there?"

"Yes." Gu Yu raised his head and smiled: "This servant wants to find out the murderer behind it as soon as possible, so that you will be safe as soon as possible."

With a smile on Shao Jie's face, he stretched out his hand and patted Gu Yu's shoulder: "Well done, go down and have a good rest and have some food."

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded, turned around and took two steps. The moment he stepped out of the door, Gu Yu said softly:

"Your Majesty, your body is your own. No matter how angry you are, you have to eat and rest well. If you are sick, wouldn't it just make the people behind you happy?"

After finishing speaking, no matter what the people behind him thought of his words, the step disappeared from Shao Jie's sight.

Shao Jie shook his head with a smile, his heart felt warm, he no longer remembered who was the last person who said this to him.

Since he came to the throne, everyone has seen the power in him.

No one ever saw if he was cold, if he was in a bad mood, and if he needed a rest now.

Gu Yu went back to his residence in the palace, changed his clothes, washed up well, and had dinner.

Then he took the real list and went to the residence of Duan Ye, the supervisor of rituals.

"Master, Gu Yu asks to see you."

Duan Ye's pen tip paused, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at the hourglass in the corner. He shouldn't be interrogating prisoners at this point, so why did he come here?

Could it be that... His complexion changed, "Let him in."

After a while, Gu Yu stepped into this room again, glanced habitually and saw that there were many less luxuries, and smiled knowingly.

It seems that the emperor's beating during this period also made Duan Ye realize his status again.

"I'm here today because I have something I want the Governor to take a look at in person."

Gu Yu took out an ordinary piece of paper from his pocket, gently placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Duan Ye, "I believe that the governor can give me a reasonable explanation after reading this paper."

Duan Ye stretched out his hand to open the paper without changing his expression, fixed his eyes on the familiar name on the paper, and laughed for a while.

"Why doesn't the governor know about this matter, Gu Yu, you are purely slandering."

Gu Yu smiled indifferently, scanned the ordinary room with his eyes, and clicked his tongue twice: "Master, don't you realize your status yet?"

"Since the last time you deliberately delayed my time to prevent me from going to the fifth prince's residence, causing the fifth prince to be buried in flames, the emperor has suspected you."

"Look at the furnishings of your room. I am willing to believe that you have realized the importance of grace."

Gu Yu tilted his head and smiled mischievously: "You said, if I hand this paper directly to the emperor, the emperor will believe me or you."

Duan Ye's complexion turned bright in an instant, his eyes fixed on Gu Yu, and he clenched his fists tightly, "I underestimated you, as expected of a character cultivated by the emperor himself."

"He is a cold person in his bones, how can he cultivate a warm-hearted character, it's really good to pretend normally."

Gu Yu clasped his fists together and said with a smile, "Each to each other."

Duan Ye threw down the paper in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes: "It's okay to tell you, it's not a big secret."

"There is a ten-year age difference between me and the emperor. At that time, he had just turned 28. He ran out of the palace alone to my house and begged my father to let our family support him."

"Promise that he will repay my family a hundred times the benefits in the future. My father did not agree at that time, but forced the emperor back to the palace."

"There is one thing that most people may not be aware of. The emperor is actually not close to the empress dowager today. The empress dowager was not favored by the former emperor. Even though she was an empress, she could only stay alone in the palace."

"I hope that the first emperor can follow the rules to come every [-]th day. At the beginning, the first emperor followed the rules to spend the night in the queen's palace.

"But later the noble concubine's favor became deeper and deeper, and the late emperor loved the noble concubine more and more. He was unwilling to abide by it for a few days every month, and only stayed with the noble concubine every day."

"Presumably you also know that my family was also one of the best official families in the capital.

The elder brother of the imperial concubine's natal family married my younger sister, and our family can get along with the imperial concubine. "

"However, my father didn't want to join the team. Since ancient times, those who joined the team early will end in a miserable end unless they win."

"I can't stand the imperial concubine's tricks again and again, forcing my father. By the time my father reacts, the capital has already said that our family is on the side of the imperial concubine."

"You will know what happened later, who knows that the emperor ascended the throne by mistake.

As soon as he ascended the throne, the first imperial decree issued was to copy and behead all the families, and his family was ruined overnight.Slaves are slaves, and those who die die.Do you think I can not hate? "

Gu Yu lowered his head and remained silent. These things were not written in the original book, and they were obviously hidden plots.

He really didn't expect the emperor and Duan ye to be so entangled.

"Then why did the emperor seek help from your family alone?"

Duan Ye looked dazed for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Because the queen is not favored, the emperor, as the prince at that time, naturally was not loved by his mother."

"I was extremely lacking in love since I was a child, and I didn't know how to take care of others. I used to go to the palace to attend banquets, and I met such a person after coming and going."

"I didn't think much about it at the time, I just said a joke casually. Who would have thought that it would be taken seriously."

Gu Yu didn't know when he sat up straight, and said, "What did you say?"

Duan Ye sighed and read softly: "No matter what, I will stand behind you in the future. I will always be your backing. If you need help with anything, you can come to my house and find me."

Duan Ye raised his arm and pressed it to his eyes, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "Who would have thought that he really took it seriously? Do you think I am a sinner of the whole family?"

Gu Yu shook his head firmly: "You are not. You can't blame this matter."

Tears flowed down the pressed gap, and his voice choked up: "If I hadn't said that sentence casually, he wouldn't have thought of seeking me
