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

Gu Yue buried his face.

Despite the noise, he slept for the whole day.

But he was almost awakened by the dream.

In the dream, Gu Xu held the bride's white and tender hand and walked slowly into the room. His gentle eyes were all on the people around him, and he only looked over coldly for a moment when he offered tea and kowtowed to the elders.

Gu Yue sat bent over in the narrow gap between the tip of his nose and the quilt for a long time.

He didn't have the courage to go out.

Perhaps when he was in the courtyard and in Liuli Town, he still had some courage to speak frankly, but now he has none of it at all.

It was already dusk, and the sound of gongs and drums outside was at its most lively. Perhaps the bride had already entered the main gate, worshipped heaven and earth, and offered wine. The guests should have gathered in groups, and the people of Jing and the prince must have filled the courtyard.

Why was he going there? To make himself unhappy?

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Yue shuddered and was stunned for a moment, then he remembered to put on his boots, put on his outer robe and open the door.

There was Wu Yun outside the door.

Wu Yun had a standard smile on his face, holding a lacquer box in his hands, which looked very familiar. Above it was a food box.

He handed over the box: "Inside are the clothes that the master specially prepared for you, as well as food to fill your stomach. The evening banquet will start in a while."

"Give me clothes?" Gu Yue suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Wu Yun said, "Yes. Tonight is a wedding banquet, and all guests must dress formally. The master is worried that you will feel uncomfortable."

Gu Yue took the heavy and exquisite box and the food box on it.

He remembered something: "Guests, who are here?"

Then he realized that it was not right to say this, and he was no longer from the Earl's Mansion...

Wu Yun replied, "Not too many people were invited, they were all the master's friends. After all, something big happened in the capital these days, and it is not a good time to get married. Few officials dare to come to the banquet."

"Big deal? What big deal?" Gu Yue asked. He had been locked up here for several days and knew nothing.

But Wu Yun left after saying this. He seemed to be running away, and in the blink of an eye, only his back was left.

What's the big deal?

Gu Yue thought for a moment. His head, which was filled with sadness, finally squeezed out some space for thinking.

Wuyun...is intentionally guiding him.

There are also two guards looking out the door...

He placed the lacquer box on the table and walked out of the room alone. When the guards at the entrance saw him coming out, they immediately stopped looking around furtively and stood up straight again.

Gu Yue walked over to them.

"What's happening outside lately?" he asked bluntly.

The guard on the left blinked.

The guard on the right smiled and said, "It is indeed a big event... The emperor has passed away."

Gu Yue’s pupils trembled!

He knew that Wu Yun wanted to draw his attention to the "big thing" outside, but he didn't expect this matter to be so big.

This is too big!

"When did it happen?" he asked quickly.

"Just three days ago." The guard on the left answered.

Gu Yue frowned.

He managed to summon his remaining sanity: indeed, when he and Gu Xu left the city together and when they came back from Liuli Town, there was nothing unusual in the city. The people were doing their own things as usual, and there was nothing unusual...

His eyes fell on the big red lanterns hanging from the eaves and the happy characters all over the wall.

Something seems wrong.

He opened his mouth slowly, his voice trembling a little: "...Gu Xu got married right after the emperor died?"

This was no longer an act of usurpation; it was tantamount to digging the emperor out of his coffin and whipping his corpse.

The guard on the left thought to himself, Boss Gu is indeed as smart as his reputation says, he figured out the key so quickly.

But the guard on the right was still a little anxious.

Why can’t Boss Gu get to the point?

He coughed dryly.

Gu Yue seemed to have a sudden inspiration and asked, "Why did the emperor die suddenly?"

The guard on the right's eyes lit up, and he spoke quickly, "He was assassinated. The person who assassinated the emperor was the Crown Princess, Miss Jing Sang of the Jing family."

He then looked at Gu Yue expectantly and was pulled by the guard on his left.

Gu Yue stared at them blankly.

"Who?" He scratched his ears twice, unable to believe his hearing.

"The eldest daughter of the Jing family, the former Crown Princess Jing Sang." The guard on the left said word by word.

The shock this information gave him was no less than the emperor's death.

He didn't understand.

Qin Zhaoyue is dead, but there is no special movement in the imperial city, which means that there is now a fake prince in the East Palace to maintain the situation. The Crown Princess Jing Sang is unaware of this, either being coerced, or in cahoots with the corrupt, or has already been killed.

In this case...won't the entire Jing family be sent to jail? Then who will Gu Xu marry?

Or, what these two people said were just rumors, and no one knew that the emperor's death was the work of the crown princess?

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

The guard on the left looked at him and smiled: "You should get ready quickly and go to the wedding banquet. The dishes tonight are very rich, and the brothers have started preparing since this morning."

Gu Yue focused his eyes and nodded blankly.

The guard on the left looked at him for a moment and then said, "Whatever happens. You can leave after the wedding banquet is over."

Gu Yue woke up completely.

The guard on the right saw this and said, "Now... we should worship heaven and earth!"

The guard on the left stepped on him hard.

Gu Yue didn't seem to hear his words clearly. His mind was a little confused.

He stood in the yard for a while, and finally staggered back into the house. He closed the door and opened the food box that Wuyun had brought him.

Inside was a plate of delicate, snow-white pastries with tiny red wedding characters painted on them.

Gu Yue ate one. It seemed sweet, but there was no taste in his mouth.

His heart was beating violently.

What is all this about...

He gradually lost sight of the delicate Chinese character for "happiness" on the pastry, and a few drops of hot water fell on the back of his hand. He stuffed the remaining pastry into his mouth, chewed hard, and then put the food box aside.

A familiar lacquered wooden box.

He opened the lid of the box, and a set of clothes mainly black with red and gold patterns woven in it lay quietly inside.

……

Gu Yue walked out of the room.

Everything around became quiet in just two sticks of incense.

The setting sun has completely disappeared behind the horizon.

The lights in Marquis Dunxin’s mansion were bright.

The big red lanterns and red silk swayed in the wind. Gu Yue touched his new clothes and walked towards the gate.

There was no one in front of the courtyard gate.

Gu Yue left the guest house.

This was where he had lived, and he was familiar with everything here. He walked along the flagstone road covered with red paper, passed through a corridor, and arrived at the gate of Lesongyuan. There was no one here either.

The lights were on in the house, but Gu Yue did not enter the yard.

He walked faster and faster, passing the hostess's courtyard which had just been renovated and had not yet been decorated with a plaque, passing through the exquisite garden behind the Pine Courtyard, and crossing the narrow white marble bridge.

He came to the pitch-black stone courtyard.

There was no candle in the room, but Gu Yue walked to the door, stretched out his trembling hand, and slowly pushed the door open.

A slender figure stood with his back to him, almost swallowed by the darkness.

Gu Xu.
