Gu Yuan sat on the dragon throne, imitating his usual solemn demeanor, and glanced at the court officials below with different expressions.

"Prime Minister, tell me, why do you want me to take the initiative to send troops to Zhao State instead of starting a war?"

Gu Yuan has returned to Western Xinjiang a long time ago. For many years, he has been in the territory of Zhao State and has never returned to Western Xinjiang.

I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly return to my hometown.

However, he came to Western Xinjiang this time without Ming Cheng by his side. He was all alone, so he might as well not come back...

The prime minister stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, the army of Zhao is not strong. There is only one Pei Ding who can stop our elite soldiers and generals. As long as we can take the opportunity to get rid of Pei Ding, Zhao will be in our hands.

Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so you have to make some achievements for the people, right? "

The Prime Minister gave a calm and composed suggestion.

The prime minister was the leader of the Western Frontier family. When he spoke, many people in the court followed suit.

Only a few people belonging to Gu Chen's team did not respond.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly: "It seems that the Prime Minister also knows that I have just ascended the throne, the state is unstable, and the treasury is empty. I don't want to waste troops. If the Prime Minister can contribute his private treasury to me, I will naturally send troops."

Bah, do you really think that fighting a war is so easy, that you can just start fighting?

What are you dreaming about if your waist doesn’t hurt when you talk while standing?

What's more, he would never allow this old man to attack the Pei family.

The Prime Minister's smile froze when he was confronted by Gu Yuan.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't refute it at all.

He would never pay a penny for the yellow-haired kid in front of him!

Seeing this, Gu Yuan waved his hand casually and said, "Since the Prime Minister can't pay, don't mention this matter again in the future!"

After that, the eunuch beside him shouted: "Dismiss the court!!"

The Prime Minister's face turned completely ugly. This yellow-haired brat had been at odds with the aristocratic families since he ascended the throne. Today he went even further and didn't even have the most basic respect for him. He was really arrogant!

The prime minister was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

After he left, the court officials who were originally filled with indignation seemed to be muted and turned around and left.

As for the so-called salute to the emperor, it had long been forgotten by this group of people.

Gu Yuan just watched coldly until the Prime Minister stepped out of the Council Hall, then he slightly raised his sleeves, and the tiny poisonous insect flew down the wind and landed on the back of the Prime Minister's neck.

next moment.

"Bang!" The Prime Minister fell down the high steps.

The people around were suddenly panicked: "Prime Minister!"

"Why did the Prime Minister fall down?"

The court officials around the prime minister were suddenly in an uproar.

Among them were many of the prime minister's close associates, who anxiously lifted his head from the ground.

But all I saw was blood on the Prime Minister's cheeks.

Even a few teeth were knocked out.

The Prime Minister's colleagues felt something was wrong and shook his body vigorously a few times, but still no one responded.

The colleague next to him changed color and couldn't help but put his finger under the prime minister's nose to test.

It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t try it, but once he tried it, he was so scared that his face changed drastically.

"Ah, a dead person!"

"Ah, the Prime Minister fell to his death!"

"The Prime Minister is dead?!"

There was an uproar all around. Gu Yuan sat high on the dragon throne, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the group of people, who were panicking and carrying the prime minister away in a hurry.

Those who call the imperial physician call the imperial physician, and those who call the guards for protection call the guards for protection.

The scene suddenly turned into a mess.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan gave a sly smile.

He turned around and left the hall under the escort of eunuchs and guards.

Gu Chen was wronged here, and as his brother, he had to help him get some of it back.

Besides, he was looking forward to reuniting with Ming Cheng soon. If these people were not dealt with quickly, there was no telling how long they would continue to harass him.

After Gu Yuan finished his court session, he took out the paper he had treasured from his waist.

The handwriting on it is Pei Chun's.

She wrote four big characters on the whole piece of paper in a flamboyant style:

"I missed you."

Looking at the row of four large characters written in a very arrogant manner, Gu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking of, and his cheeks slowly turned red.

Before, when they parted, Mingcheng had expressed her feelings to him so passionately and frankly.

Now, experiencing it again, the feeling is completely different from before.

Gu Yuan smiled and pressed his cheek against the yellowed paper, his eyes full of attachment.

After a while, he took out the paper again and wrote down what he wanted to say, chattering on for three pages without stopping.

He hasn't seen Mingcheng for a long time. If he doesn't take the initiative, what if Mingcheng is attracted by someone prettier than him?

He wrote very quickly, and after he finished, he called out a bird that looked similar to Xiaoqing.

This bird flew here with Xiaoqing yesterday. It is Xiaoqing's brother.

Specially used to convey messages to Pei Chun.

Gu Yuan was extremely happy when he received the two birds yesterday.

This kind of bird flies very fast, so he didn't delay anything, so he released one first and used it to deliver medicine to his father-in-law.

There was another one left in his hand. After he had thought about what to say to Mingcheng, he would slowly pass the message to Mingcheng.

Beijing.

A few days ago, after confirming the release of the birds.

Pei Chun acted promptly and called all the servants in the mansion to come before him.

The matter between Jiang Yue and An Qingmei was not over yet, but Daddy got into trouble again, which made the princess anxious.

Pei Chun felt sorry for the eldest princess, so he shared the burden with his mother. This time, she was the one who had to find out the suspicious person who had cast the curse on her father.

Pei Chun was now inspecting rows of attendants.

In front of everyone, she asked seriously, "Have you ever seen anyone enter this room?"

The attendants all murmured denials, shaking their heads slightly to indicate that they did not.

Pei Chun sat on a short stool, his eyes scanning the group of people in front of him.

Her maid Yingchun was also among them.

Pei Chun looked at this group of people in silence and slowly lowered his eyes.

She took out the gift that Gu Yuan had given her as a gift before he left.

It's a worm.

Gu Yuan knew that the maids around her were not honest, so in order to prevent something similar to what happened to Shaoyao from happening again, he specially left some poisonous insects that might be used with his second brother.

As for why he didn't keep it next to her, it was purely because Gu Yuan thought she would be afraid of the poisonous insect.

So he kept it with his second brother, allowing him to study it while making it convenient for Pei Chun to ask for it whenever he needed it.

Now Pei Chun is very grateful to Gu Yuan for keeping this thing.

She opened the bamboo box in her hand in front of everyone.

Inside was a hibernating white snake.

Pei Chun glanced at the people in front of him and found that none of their expressions showed any panic, so he directly picked up the little white snake with his bare hands.
