Sequoia's portable lantern led her through many corridors, and finally walked to a brightly lit room.

She knocked on the door, and a man's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

"Yes." Sequoia responded. He opened the door but did not go in. Instead, he stretched out his hand to greet grandma to enter the house, "Mom, please."

Grandma nodded and entered the house. Sequoia saw her grandma enter the house and closed the door. She stood in front of the door and looked around cautiously.

Inside the door, Mammy reported everything that happened in the East Palace to Gu Yu, who was sitting upright behind the desk.

At the end, the mama bowed and said with a smile: "My girl has one more thing, please tell me. She is willing to handle the matter you tell me even if it requires her to risk her life. I just ask that you can send the young master to my house safely." By the master’s side.”

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "I don't have anything to ask your young lady to risk her life for. I promised her mother and son to leave safely. Go back and tell your young lady to take good care of her." You can do it yourself, and I will definitely do what I promised."

Grandma's face showed joy and she kept saying hello.

She was frightened by the decisive look on her young lady's face when she said these words to her earlier. Fortunately, the Mr. Gu in front of her was not the prince from the East Palace who kept his word.

The prince who originally vowed to take care of the young lady, mother and son for the rest of his life has now forgotten his original vow, and even deliberately allowed others to harm the young master.

If the prince hadn't gone too far with that woman, how could the young lady make such a decision?

After receiving Gu Yu's assurance, Mammy thought that she should go back to reunite with her young lady, and it was still Sequoia who escorted Mammy out of the house.

Gu Yu called Qing Yan in and whispered something in his ear. Qing Yan saluted Gu Yu and said, "Yes, I will do it immediately."

Gu Yu glanced at the Western clock placed on the ancient shelf. It was already the hour of ugly, and he would go to court in less than an hour. He didn't want to disturb his wife and children's rest, so he just rested in the front yard for a while.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to court. Gu Yu quickly washed up and boarded the car to go to court.

The ministers who can stand in the Great Chongqing court are all people who are used to seeing troubles. Even after things like yesterday happened, everyone was still chatting and laughing after meeting.

To Li Qiming, it was a big deal that the sky was falling, but to these courtiers, it didn't matter whether he was the prince or King Jin, as long as he could stand above them with integrity.

On the contrary, without the aggressive oppression of the prince every day, those courtiers who were originally afraid of causing trouble no longer conceal their views on political affairs.

Only the few courtiers from the prince's faction would cause some obstructions from time to time. In the end, it was just a small quarrel. It was rare for the court to see a peaceful scene.

However, behind the peaceful atmosphere is actually a treacherous situation.

Even Liu Jin, who was now transferred to the household department by Gu Yu and became his deputy, noticed something strange hidden in the capital.

"Why do so many foreigners seem to have come to the capital recently? I remember that the examination should be held in a year's time. Even if there are students coming to the capital, there shouldn't be so many talents. There is always a feeling that a storm is coming. momentum."

With a smile on her lips, Gu Yu nodded almost imperceptibly, admiring in her heart that Liu Jin was really a sharp person.

But it would be an extra step, and Liu Jin's family would not be frightened. He did not plan to tell Liu Jin about the prince.

He thought about the recent events in Beijing and responded: "Maybe those ministers who have been sent abroad have returned to Beijing to report on their duties."

"I see." Liu Jin thought that this was indeed the day to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

What Gu Yu was thinking about was that since Liu Jin could clearly see the situation in the capital, let alone the scheming people in the court, he had to see how they would deal with it this time.

A period of time passed in such superficial peace.

During this period, under the dispatch of King Jin, the Northwest Army changed generals again. Although this change of generals could not immediately solve the troubles in the northwest, the Tatar tribes did not dare to be as presumptuous as before.

During this period of time, although the prince's side has been making some moves, they have been unable to make the final decision.

King Jin felt that there was still a strong dose of medicine needed for the prince to make up his mind, and this powerful medicine was already on the way to Beijing. As long as they publicized it a little, the prince's character would no longer suppress his heart.

Sure enough, not long after, an exciting news came from the northwest. The newly transferred commander of the Northwest Army successfully recovered the Liangzhou Guard occupied by the Tatars.

As soon as this news reached the capital, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole city. The whole city was filled with joy and people rushed to tell each other.

In particular, he was full of praise for King Jin, saying frankly that if King Jin had not stepped forward to turn the tide, the northwest would have lost more than one Liangzhou Guard, let alone regaining the Liangzhou Guard.

All of this is indeed the result of King Jin.

Gu Yu focused all his energy on the Prince's Mansion, and Chen Wenze was also locked up in the East Palace and unable to go out. This victory in the northwest relied entirely on King Jin himself to know people well.

Gu Yu couldn't help but admire in his heart that he had indeed made a mistake, and that King Jin was indeed his chosen king.

He decided to help King Jin again, to help King Jin build momentum and win a wave of people's hearts.

King Jin won the hearts of the people, and the one who was most hit was undoubtedly the prince. Li Qiming, who had been struggling for a long time, couldn't sit still and finally made a move.

It was a calm day with calm clouds and clear wind.

Gu Yu got up early to go to court as usual, went back to the Yamen to work after going to the Yamen, and went straight back to his home after going to the Yamen in the evening.

However, today is destined to be an extraordinary day.

The spies following Gu Yu saw with their own eyes that after Gu Yu entered Gu's house, he got on his horse and galloped away, until he rode his horse to the door of a certain house in Yongfang when he was young.

The spy dismounted and entered the courtyard. In the courtyard stood a group of people dressed the same as him. The hall was also filled with people wearing armor.

He walked straight to the main seat in the hall and knelt down: "Master, everything is as usual."

"Okay." The man wearing armor and holding a sword sneered and nodded.

This person was none other than Li Qiming, who was imprisoned in the palace by Emperor Qitai and ordered to meditate on his past.

He bribed the guards of the East Palace and left the East Palace easily, and he had been secretly planning in this palace for many days. Not only did he want to drive Qi Jin down, he was also bound to win the position of his father.

There was also Gu Zicong, this time he was going to cut him into pieces with his own sword.

Li Qiming stood up from his seat, drew his long sword from its scabbard and pointed it at the door, shouting loudly: "Now the emperor is surrounded by traitors and traitors. As a prince alone, he should shoulder the responsibility of eliminating traitors. May all your ministers wish?" Fight together with Gu?"

Everyone in the hall and everyone standing in the courtyard knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I swear to follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the death."
