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

"..." Gu Yue resisted.

He is so embarrassed!

Yu Weishuang coughed dryly: "Okay, you guys should restrain yourself, this is the palace."

Seeing Gu Yue's refusal, Gu Xu did not force him. He turned back to look at Yu Weishuang: "Why... you haven't asked for an official position, but are guarding the gate here?"

"What gatekeeper?" Yu Weishuang's expression was subtle: "I just haven't figured out what position is best for me."

"After this incident, it seems like you have done everything." Gu Xu said with a smile, "Those incidents in Jiangnan were handled perfectly."

"Being an inspector is very offensive." Yu Weishuang said, "My life is limited, so I still want to do something behind the scenes."

Gu Xu nodded: "Hidden Dragon Guard is not bad either."

"We'll discuss this later." Yu Weishuang said with a smile, "Before His Majesty comes over, I want to talk to you two."

Gu Yue pricked up his ears. What about my business?

Yu Weishuang first said to Gu Xu: "Congratulations, you have avenged your great hatred and found your beloved again. I am really happy for you."

"You too." Gu Xu said, "From now on, you don't have to be confined to the backyard. You can try whatever you want to do."

"In the end, I was not able to help you." Yu Weishuang frowned slightly, "It seems like I got a great bargain."

Gu Xu said: "...Maybe in your previous life, you have already repaid it in advance."

"You still believe this?" Yu Weishuang smiled, then looked at Gu Yue who was silent beside him: "But Boss Gu's adventure does make me believe in stories of past lives and present lives."

Gu Yue still felt a little embarrassed when facing his former heroine. Although Gu Xu had explained clearly that they were just friends who helped each other in their previous lives, he still didn't dare to look at Yu Weishuang's eyes that seemed to see through everything.

No, judging by the relationship between these characters...

Isn’t it true that Gu Yue has become the current female lead now?

Seeing him in a daze without saying anything, Yu Weishuang did not find it strange. She turned around and asked Gu Xu, "Are you going to have another grand wedding?"

Gu Yue suddenly came back to his senses: "What big wedding? No!"

His little heart can't stand this!

"Listen to him." Gu Xu said.

Neither of them really cared about these external things.

Yu Weishuang was a little disappointed: "Then I won't be able to see you get married. But the things I prepared are quite durable... I'll send them to your house some other day."

"Then you'd better hurry up, we will leave Luoyang soon." Gu Xu smiled.

Gu Yue also nodded.

After a little thought, Yu Weishuang understood their plan.

"Okay. Then I wish you... a smooth journey ahead and no more troubles." Yu Weishuang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Yue was stunned.

Yu Weishuang actually said the same things as the Taoist priest. Was it a coincidence?

He could hardly tell anything from her expression.

But this is not a rare auspicious phrase after all, Gu Yue shook his head in his heart and soon put the matter behind him. Coincidentally, Yu Weishuang looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and outside the vermilion gate, the emperor's carriage stopped outside.

Qin Zhaohong, dressed in black court robes, walked into the yard.

Her eyes were sharp, and her brows were even more solemn than yesterday. Only when her gaze met Yu Weishuang did she soften for a moment.

The three people in front of the door wanted to salute, but Qin Zhaohong raised his hand to stop them.

"Come in and sit down." Qin Zhaohong said, and entered the imperial study first.

Yu Weishuang did not enter the door: "I will take my leave first."

Qin Zhaohong nodded.

Gu Yue and the other person entered the imperial study. The eunuch brought two chairs and placed them at the bottom, and the two of them sat down.

Qin Zhaohong said: "The quarrel at the court meeting took some time."

"Anyone has any objections?" Gu Xu asked.

"Of course they do." Qin Zhaohong sneered, "They probably think I don't have any leverage over them, so they are fearless. But sitting in this position, who is clean? They are just getting carried away."

Gu Xu said: "Without the worry of life, people will always be greedier."

"They claimed that they had doubts about the late emperor's decree and demanded that a thorough investigation be conducted into the murder of the crown prince before selecting a virtuous person to succeed the throne. They said they were afraid that violating the decree would disturb the late emperor's soul." Qin Zhaohong smiled, "So I sent a few of my father's most trusted ministers to be appointed as envoys to comfort the late emperor and asked them to personally ask the late emperor what the arrangements were."

Gu Yue almost laughed out loud. This new emperor has quite a sense of humor!

Gu Xu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Qin Zhaohong sighed: "If there had not been a precedent in the previous dynasty, this time, I am afraid that it would not be enough to kill a few people to make them settle down. I am here today, and it is not the result of my lifetime."

She looked at Gu Yue: "Boss Gu has helped a lot, I will remember it."

Gu Yue was a little embarrassed: "I didn't do anything."

She said, "No, if it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Especially since you risked your life to draw Su Muying's attention to the so-called token... This alone was the key to victory."

Ah? Is it so important? Gu Yue was at a loss.

"At that time, Su Muying was providing disaster relief and dealing with epidemics in the Jiangnan area." Gu Xu explained, "You diverted most of his attention, otherwise, His Majesty would have revealed his whereabouts at that time."

"That's really a blessing in disguise." Gu Yue was very happy.

"Don't do this again in the future." Gu Xu was unhappy.

Gu Yue smiled and said, "As long as we take good care of ourselves in the future, there is no need for us to fight and kill. Don't worry."

Qin Zhaohong's expression also eased a lot, and he continued, "Next we have to cooperate with the Western Hu. They also helped a little in suppressing the rebellion yesterday, but the Western Hu King has not yet been summoned to meet with the emperor. Will you attend then?"

"No." Gu Xu said, "This is a state affair. I will not interfere."

Gu Yue didn't say anything either.

They did not mention Shi San's relationship with Xi Hu, but Qin Zhaohong must be extraordinary since he could ascend to the throne. No one dared to bet on how many tests were in her words. The emperor was suspicious, so it was best to distance himself from the matter.

Qin Zhaohong thought about it and did not answer for a while.

It took her a while to come back to her senses: "It's better if you don't participate. The Su family... is extremely evil, I don't want to let them go. But for your sake, I can forgive them a little."

Gu Xu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is very kind. But I am afraid that the rift between me and the Su family cannot be repaired."

Gu Yue looked at him, feeling a little sad.

It’s hard to say whether the other members of the Su family knew about what happened back then, but now that a high-ranking official in the family was imprisoned, can they say that they have no grudge against Gu Xu?

Although Gu Xu's revenge is reasonable...but his own interests are involved, who can maintain justice?

I don’t know if Su Muying’s selfish genes had any impact.

"Then I will deal with it according to the law." Qin Zhaohong said.

"It's all up to your majesty." Gu Xu said.

Qin Zhaohong looked at him for a while, then suddenly turned his gaze to Gu Yue: "Gu Xu can let it go, but you, I think, are too soft-hearted."

Gu Yue said hurriedly: "I..."
