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

The imperial city was not very interesting and was too big, so the two of them took a carriage instead and soon arrived at the emperor's office.

The courtyard where the imperial study was located seemed to be under full martial law, with many guards carrying swords, but Gu Yue looked at them and they seemed familiar, so they should be people from Wumen.

When I entered the imperial study, I saw that the person sitting on the throne was not the future emperor or the fake prince, but a woman.

Gu Yue knew at a glance that this was Qin Zhaohong.

She looked somewhat similar to Qin Zhaoyue, both were as gentle as jade. When her eyes looked at him, they were less calculating and more sharp and serious than Qin Zhaoyue's.

The imperial temperament has begun to take shape in her.

"This is Her Royal Highness the Princess." Gu Xu introduced.

Qin Zhaohong had already said: "You have done great things, there is no need to kneel down."

Gu Yue hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Zhaohong carefully looked at Gu Yue who was standing below, and then glanced at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu said: "After he died, his soul found his original body and came back to life."

"Is it witchcraft?" Qin Zhaohong asked.

"That's not the case." Gu Xu explained, "It has something to do with a Taoist priest... He possessed Gu Dashi after he died, and he didn't take over the body by force."

Qin Zhaohong nodded slowly.

Gu Yue felt pressured, so he said, "It is definitely not a sorcery, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Qin Zhaohong looked at him.

She frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "In the previous dynasty, there was a talented person who assisted the emperor at that time in opening up a trade route to the west, and was later awarded the title of Duke. Before she died, she said that she was from another world and hoped to return to her homeland after her death..."

"Ah! Is there such a thing?" Gu Yue was surprised.

No wonder the status of women in Northern Qin is higher than in all the dynasties in his world. It turns out that there are pioneers ahead.

"I think you are in the same situation." Qin Zhaohong stared at him.

Gu Yue was stunned for three seconds, then suddenly realized: "Your Highness is right, that's exactly the case."

He understood that Qin Zhaohong did not guess that he was a soul from another world, but gave a reasonable explanation for his mysterious identity for Gu Xu's sake.

Qin Zhaohong smiled and said, "That's great."

Gu Xu asked: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Qin Zhaohong looked up again, with a somewhat surprised expression: "I thought you were here to talk to me about something."

"That's all." Gu Xu said, "I just want you to meet him."

Qin Zhaohong's eyes moved over them, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, revealing an understanding smile.

"I've seen him before." She said, "Go away, don't get in my way here."

Gu Xu took Gu Yue's hand and led him out of the imperial study.

Gu Yue whispered: "Can't you just take your leave politely? After all, he is the future emperor..."

"I have done so much, but she doesn't hold a grudge against me for such a formality." Gu Xu said, "Why weren't you so cautious when meeting the Crown Prince and the Emperor?"

Gu Yue choked.

It was completely the modern people's thinking that was at work on Qin Zhaoyue. As for the emperor... ever since he learned about their persecution of the families of Prince Shen and Gu Dashi, he has been unwilling to observe etiquette.

It was just the situation at the time.

"Qin Zhaohong is different. She helped you." Gu Yue whispered, "But those two guys, hehe."

Gu Xu could tell the sarcasm in this laugh, so he leaned over and gave the girl a kiss.

Gu Yue was so beautiful that she was bubbling, but she heard Qin Zhaohong's voice coming from inside the room: "Go away, don't stand at my door."

Gu Yue was embarrassed and ran away.

He has the guts to feed the emperor dog food!

Gu Xu didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The two held hands and walked along the corridor between the halls towards the courtyard in the south where the coronation ceremony would be held. Gu Xu wanted to inspect the preparations in various places.

The imperial city is very large, and Wumen’s men alone cannot defend it.

"We have killed several leaders of the Donglin Guards. The rest are all clean and available, so there is no need to worry." Gu Xu explained the current situation of the imperial city to him in a low voice. "The outer city guards have been replaced by Qin Zhaohong's Fengyang Guards. By then, the original armies of the Jing family and the Mu family will also surround Luoyang."

"The people from the Jing family are still alive. Will anything go wrong?" Gu Yue was very worried.

The Mu family's army had no problems. Mu You was dead, and the original small leaders had been purged. The remaining soldiers were ordinary people. They didn't have such courage, and it was impossible for a few people to instigate a rebellion in the entire team. They all acted according to the tiger talisman.

Jing family...those people are still in prison. It is impossible to bring them all together in such a short time.

"Qin Zhaohong had already started planning this situation three years ago," Gu Xu said. "By then, the people who will surround the imperial city will be the ones she trusts the most, and the Wumen and Fengyang Guards will be enough to deal with the internal fighting."

"I know nothing about this war, but you are destined to be the protagonist, so there will be no problem for you," said Gu Yue.

Gu Xu smiled: "Well, don't worry."

Gu Yue added: "The plan you told me earlier was ambiguous."

"Indeed." Gu Xu frowned slightly, "King Yin has no evidence of a fake prince."

Gu Yue said: "The letter he sent to Zhen Suhang before was probably a signal. He couldn't prove that the prince was fake, so he could only start with public opinion and make everyone suspicious of the prince. Then it would be more legitimate for him to jump out."

"How did you reveal this news to him?" Gu Yue asked.

"I let Yu Hu go." said Gu Xu.

"Yu Hu..." Gu Yue wondered for a moment who this person was.

"He and Lu Tianyun were both Qin Zhaoyue's deputies. I had already told him that Qin Zhaoyue had been replaced by someone else, and he took the opportunity to escape from the palace. Now he is in the hands of King Yin." Gu Xu said.

"It seems that King Yin also knows that Yu Hu's testimony alone cannot convince the public, and it may also be a strategy to lure him into taking action." Gu Yue said.

That does not work.

"If there is no guarantee that King Yin will take action at the coronation ceremony, Qin Zhaohong's subsequent plans will be difficult to carry out. We have to give him a more secure opportunity." Gu Yue said.

"Prince Yin will come to the capital in the next few days. We will observe his movements and then think of a solution." Gu Xu said without question: "First, let's see how the preparations for the coronation ceremony are going."

In front of us is the center of the imperial city, Mingtang.

Mingtang is where the court was held. Its wooden structure is extremely delicate, and the mortise and tenon joints fit together like precise electronic components, which is extremely spectacular.

There were many people in the square around, all busy arranging the decorations for the coronation ceremony.

"It will definitely be spectacular, right? If a fighting breaks out, it will really be..." Gu Yue felt very sorry that he would not be able to see the entire coronation ceremony.

"We have already considered many possibilities for that day." Gu Xu said, "But King Yin is cunning and knows how to endure, so we can't guarantee success. On that day, you'd better hide in the mansion."

"You want me to hide again?" Gu Yue looked up at him.

Gu Xu was stunned.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What good ideas do you have?"
