Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"You can stay here to recuperate." The Taoist said, "Whenever you want to leave, just leave."

He paused and said, "The cause and effect have been established. From now on, everything will be as you wish."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Gu Yue bowed and thanked sincerely.

The Taoist priest seemed to nod slightly and stopped talking.

Gu Yue walked out of the hall.

Did Zhuang Zhou dream of a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream of Zhuang Zhou?

Is all this true or false? How should he face it all?

Gu Yue stopped thinking.

Maybe the Taoist was right, he shouldn't be so persistent.

……

The Mansion of Marquis Dunxin.

Gu Xu woke up in shock.

He subconsciously reached for his side, but only felt a flat mattress. He had ordered someone to widen this couch once, so that it was large enough for him and Gu Yue to sleep together; but after they moved into the Duke of Dunxin's mansion, they never slept on the same couch again.

The sky outside the window was already slightly brighter, and a shadow was projected on the window paper.

Gu Xu said: "Come in."

The shadow on the window paper moved and walked towards the door; after a moment, the door was pushed open, and Wu Yan came in carrying a tea tray and placed the tea on the table.

He squatted down, helped Gu Xu, who had already sat up, put on his boots, and said, "Master, the palace has summoned you."

"Qin Zhaoyue?" Gu Xu already knew the emperor's current condition. "What's wrong with him?"

"He said it was for Boss Gu's business." Wu Yan said, "and he had other things to discuss."

Gu Xu seemed stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Wu Yan picked up the clothes beside him and helped him put them on: "Also, the Su family also sent a message, inviting us in the name of Su Yingjian."

"Have you pried open Wu Hun's mouth?" Gu Xu asked coldly.

"Wu Guo and his companions started to check the records of Fengtang and found several important things." Wu Yan said.

Gu Xu dressed properly, sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Because of the new order issued by the master, Wu Hu has not been involved in any important matters of the Wu Clan in the past three years, and has not made any rash moves. At present, it is judged that he has not leaked any confidential information." Wu Yan said, "Wu Guo and others investigated all the Wu Clan members who had contact with him in recent years and found that he seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally trying to find out the master's movements."

Gu Xu listened without expressing any opinion.

"Later, the master showed up in Luoyang. When the Wumen learned about this, Wu Hun began to attack the old members of the Wumen, leading them to believe that the master despised Su Huaiyue, had no intention of revenge, and only wanted wealth and glory. Wu Hun was one of the targets he deceived and led, and now he has defected."

Wu Yan continued, "Also, Brother Feng reported that three years ago, there was a brother from Shan Cun who was very close to Wu Hurricane. We did not miss him, but we did not find him in Shan Cun."

"Transferred away?" Gu Xu asked.

"No, after checking all the personnel changes in Shantang, we still couldn't find the person that Brother Feng mentioned. This person is not even on the list of Shantang."

"Is he sure he remembers it correctly?" Gu Xu asked.

"No, this brother has served in Fengtang for many years because of his photographic memory. There is nothing suspicious about him. We don't think he would make it up out of thin air." Wu Yan said, "This person does exist. He went on a mission with Wu Hurricane. This brother was on duty that day and recorded their names. He let them go, but he never saw them come back."

"Is there such a person in Shantang?"

"Yes, but the column for actual identity after the list is blank and not stated." Wu Yan said.

"Ask Wu Shouming." Gu Xu said, "These blank members are all under his jurisdiction, secretly working undercover in various places..."

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment: "Yes!"

The master has just taken over the Wumen clan, and he already knows such detailed secrets?

He told it to him without hiding anything.

Wu Yan said: "We have already interrogated this person as a breakthrough point, and I think there will be results soon."

"Hard-boned." Gu Xu whispered, "Get ready to enter the palace."

……

The carriages and horses from the Duke Dunxin's mansion entered the palace through the side door.

As the officials were leaving the court, many people saw the sign of the Bo Mansion. Now that the emperor was in a coma, Qin Zhaoyue had no right to speak for the retention of the title of Dun Xin Bo, so the entire mansion was hung neither high nor low. There was no intention to hang it in the mansion, and most people speculated that the rumor was true and that Gu Xu had killed Dun Xin Bo himself.

Gu Xu got out of the car and walked towards the imperial study.

After standing in front of the imperial study for a while, Gu Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability and disgust in his heart, and walked into the room.

"Gu Xu!" Qin Zhaoyue, who was dressed in a dark robe and had just changed out of the crown prince's robes, said with surprise when he saw Gu Xu.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Xu wanted to bow, but was supported by Qin Zhaoyue.

Qin Zhaoyue looked him up and down, but did not see any special emotions on that indifferent face.

"Please sit down." He asked the person to sit on a small couch beside him. There was a game end on the table.

Gu Xu said: "Your Highness is too kind. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your Highness has already shown some of the demeanor of a true dragon."

There was no one in the hall. Qin Zhaoyue was startled by the sudden compliment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, you can't say that."

"Of course not. It's a done deal, so there's no harm in talking about it in advance." Gu Xu said.

"...You seem to be in a good mood." Qin Zhaoyue said.

She had always been rude and cold to him in the past, but now that Gu Dashi was dead, how come she had become much nicer to him?

"Is that so?" Gu Xu's lips curled up slightly.

"Could it be that... the rumors outside are true?" Qin Zhaoyue asked tentatively.

"Right and wrong are indeed in people's hearts." Gu Xu said, "A charge of patricide is better than homosexuality. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Qin Zhaoyue suppressed her emotions and asked, "Gu Dashi...really?"

Gu Xu lowered his eyes and pretended to be happy that he had avenged his great vengeance: "Your Highness, now that the thief is dead, I finally don't have to pretend anymore."

Qin Zhaoyue asked excitedly: "You... is Gu Dashi really dead?"

"Really." Gu Xu said.

"Then do you know that he is not the original Gu Dashi?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

Gu Xu raised his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face: "Your Highness...you even know this?"

Qin Zhaoyue looked excited and stood up suddenly.

Gu Xu also hurriedly stood up.

"If I had known you... if I had known this, I wouldn't have had to hide this from you." Qin Zhaoyue said, "I secretly investigated and found that this Gu Dashi is completely different from the original one, so I guessed that someone was secretly planting a spy next to you. But I don't know this person's identity, who is behind the scenes, and whether you believe it in your heart, so I didn't tell you the truth right away. Xiao Xu, you really make me look at you with new eyes."

Gu Xu sneered in his heart, but his face was full of gratitude: "Your Highness... Gu Xu understands your desire to protect me. Your Highness, do you have any guesses about the identity of the person behind this?"

Qin Zhaoyue shook his head slightly.

Gu Xu said: "Well, he is dead now. I also cleaned up the people around me and killed all those he left behind."

"This man is cunning and intelligent. Can you confirm that he is dead?" Qin Zhaoyue stared at him.

"I have seen the body." Gu Xu said calmly, "and burned it myself."
