"What do you think can completely prove that the current prince is not Qin Zhaoyue?" Gu Yue said.

Gu Xu pondered.

"Of course it's Qin Zhaoyue's body." Gu Yue smiled, "Where's the body?"

Gu Xu: ...

"No," he said.

"What?!" Gu Yue was shocked. "You don't care at all about Qin Zhaoyue's death?"

Gu Xu frowned: "My mind is full of your affairs... I haven't considered this at all."

"I don't know how Wen Qing dealt with Qin Zhaoyue's body." Gu Yue scratched his head. "I heard that you used an ice cave to preserve Gu Dashi's body, so that he could be buried relatively intact."

"Yeah. The weather has warmed up, otherwise it wouldn't have stayed that long." Gu Xu said, "I thought you would return to that corpse, so..."

Gu Yue used his sleeve to hold his hand and said, "You idiot... Hey."

"I know what you mean." Gu Xu said, "If Wen Qing had left the bodies of Qin Chaoyue and the others alone, they would probably have rotted in the mountains by now. And if he also had a use for the bodies... do you want to go see him and ask about the bodies?"

"Yes, Xiao Xu is really smart." Gu Yue smiled, "It just so happens that the emperor has died, and the princes from all over the country are going to Beijing to pay their respects."

Gu Xu understood what he meant.

Wen Qing's whereabouts are unknown, but his lover is coming back to Luoyang, so he must have a way to contact him.

"What if Qin Zhaoning doesn't cooperate?" Gu Xu asked.

"That's easy. We can just hold him hostage and force Wen Qing to show up." Gu Yue nodded repeatedly, "What a great idea!"

Gu Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "You and Shi San are exactly alike."

"Oh? Yes, you haven't told me about Shi San yet." Gu Yue said.

"You... After Gu Dashi died, I rushed to Yishan, but found no trace of Shi San, He Gui and others." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

"You suspect him, right?" Gu Yue said.

"...I didn't." Gu Xu looked away.

Gu Yue smiled knowingly: "You didn't, you just asked people to look for these people all over the world."

Gu Xu squeezed his palm and said, "Then, just after the tribute delegation from Xidi arrived in Beijing, we found Shi San's trace in Luoyang. He said that he first went to Xihu to ask for help and brought two Xihu nobles with him. He then went to find Qin Zhaoning and pretended to hold him hostage. Then, he got the news from Wen Qing's reply that the Su family wanted to make trouble in the Xidi delegation."

No wonder they are said to be exactly alike.

"What did the Su family do to the Xidi delegation?" Gu Yue asked.

"Those Western Hu people said they had solved it, but they didn't tell me." Gu Xu replied, "Shi San is watching, he won't help the tyrant."

"Why do you trust him so much?" Gu Yue asked curiously.

"If he and Princess Xidi hadn't cooperated, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to blame the Su family for the poison." Gu Xu said, "Therefore..."

"So that's how it is." Gu Yue suddenly realized, "Poisoning the emperor was done to frame Su Muying from the beginning?"

"No." Gu Xu said, "The poison in the emperor's body was not ours. Wuye also spent a long time researching before he made the antidote."

"If it's not us, then who is it?" Gu Yue widened his eyes.

Gu Xu shook his head silently.

Gu Yue had a few guesses in his mind, but none of them had solid evidence.

"It's not a big deal now," he said.

Gu Xu nodded and took him to see the layout around the square.

Gu Yue approached and saw that many secret places had simple defense mechanisms. The large vats around were also filled with water, and there were people marking the locations, walking back and forth with some soldiers, talking about something.

He couldn't understand it, but he vaguely understood that it was a preparation for the events of the day.

Then he has to take action too.

Gu Yue said: "Is Qin Zhaoning back? I want to see him."

……

On the next morning, Shi San led a small team back to Luoyang from Liuli Town.

When Gu Yue came out of the room, he saw Shi San talking to Wu Feng in the yard - actually it was Wu Feng who was talking unilaterally.

Before Gu Yue could say anything, Shi San had already turned his head sharply and looked towards the door.

Gu Yue smiled.

Wu Feng, the big mouth, must have told him about it.

He was very happy to see Shi San, and was about to run over to each other, meet each other, and then say something about reunion after a long time, even if he could squeeze out a few words? But no, Shi San just nodded lightly, and then looked at Wu Feng again.

Wu Feng stopped talking, looked at Gu Yue, and then at Shi San.

Gu Yue raised his foot and put it down again:?

Hmm? I'm Gu Dashi. Are you there, Shi San? Is the network bad? Wu Feng said I'm Gu Dashi. Didn't you receive it?

He raised his leg again to check out the situation, but there was movement behind him. It turned out that Gu Xu also came out of the house.

He frowned, which was rare, and tried to move his stiff shoulders and neck, and kicked his legs.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Gu Yue grinned proudly.

"A little bit." Gu Xu said, "Wu Feng, is the carriage ready?"

"It's ready." Wu Feng shouted immediately, but stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not move forward.

Gu Xu turned to Gu Yue and said, "This time..."

"I'll go by myself." Gu Yue said, "Didn't we agree on this last night?"

"Yeah. I feel much more at ease knowing Shi San is following you." Gu Xu said in a gentle voice.

He now understands that blindly protecting this person is not suitable, but will make him feel uneasy.

Perhaps letting him participate in his own plans is the best solution.

"Go ahead." Gu Xu said, "I have things to do today as well."

Gu Yue nodded, and then felt a little embarrassed. Looking at Shi San's attitude just now...

Why don't you talk to him?

Does he refuse to admit that he is the former Gu Dashi?

Or are you still angry with him?

Either way...it's not easy.

Gu Yue was very nervous, but no one could help him with this kind of thing. His contact with Shi San was direct, without any middleman!

He walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Shi San turned around and stood to the side naturally.

Gu Yue paused as he opened his mouth.

What do you mean?

In front of me was an open courtyard gate, and beside me was Shi San. He seemed somewhat familiar...

He turned his head to look at Shi San.

Shi San's expression was stiff and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Shi San?" Gu Yue asked carefully.

Wu Feng was looking around.

Shi San nodded.

"I'm Gu Yue." Gu Yue said.

Shi San finally showed a little confusion on his face: "I know."

Gu Yue was completely confused.

Aren't you surprised? Aren't you shocked? Aren't you a little curious about this anti-scientific and anti-common sense thing?

Wu Feng was also surprised: "Shi San, Boss Gu is back from the dead, and you don't have any reaction at all?!"

Shi San frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Gu Yue: "Welcome back."

Gu Yue: "...Thank you."

Wu Feng was anxious: "It's not like this! Think about it, a person died in front of you, but he changed his appearance and came back again! Isn't it surprising? Isn't it shocking?"
