Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Gu Qinghe was not greedy. It was enough for him to come here and know that Chen Qingshan might still be alive.

She believed that as long as Chen Qingshan was still alive, he would appear in front of her one day.

The reason why he had not appeared until his previous life was perhaps because his injuries were too severe, or perhaps he had lost his memory like his mother.

Gu Qinghe will find him no matter what.

On the peninsula on their way back to the capital from Bazi, the two met Lan Yu who was leading a group of secret guards. Upon seeing the two of them, Lan Yu became furious and didn't show any good face to Ouyang Xia at all.

"How dare you abandon me? I will tell my brother when I get back!"

Ouyang Xia's mouth twitched again and again, and he was speechless. He looked at the horse he was riding, then looked at his angry expression, and asked, "You guys followed me as soon as I came out?"

Lan Yu snorted and nodded, "Of course, don't think about leaving me behind."

"I've already finished my business and turned around halfway, but you've just come here. Tell me, how can I take you with me?"

This was because she complained about his slowness. Lan Yu understood and became even angrier. "Then you should have told me."

Well, Ouyang Xia was indeed wrong about this. She admitted her mistake very quickly. She put her arm around Lan Yu's shoulders and walked two steps to the side, coaxing him in a low voice, "I'm not afraid that you'll worry if I tell you. When I told you, I didn't expect it to take so long. I thought I could go back in two or three days."

Seeing that Lan Yu was still unconvinced, she continued, "It's such a long journey. Tell me yourself, your butt is about to fall apart from riding a horse. This is at a slow speed. If you follow us, it will probably be even more uncomfortable."

Lan Yu was easy to coax. Gu Qinghe didn’t see what the two said for a while, but when he came back, he had returned to normal.

With Lan Yu's presence, the two of them traveled a little slower. They arrived in the capital a few days later. As soon as they arrived at the general's mansion, they received Shao Wei's letter.

During the days she was away, the King of Wu had been brought back to the capital. The evidence was all before his eyes, and it was meaningless to deny it. Knowing that his situation was hopeless, the King of Wu only asked the Emperor to let him meet the Princess of Wu.

But the Princess of Wu had already gone to Lianzhou with Pingyang a few days ago, and now they are probably almost at their destination.

Upon hearing the news, the King of Wu was silent for a long time. Finally, he just shook his head and laughed. Finally, he calmly waited for his sentence.

However, Gu Qinghe did not intend to let him die so easily. Coincidentally, Huo Shibei also had something to ask King Wu, so the two of them stood in front of King Wu together.

Without the glory of the past, or perhaps because there were too many people in the capital who were trying to take advantage of his misfortune, the King of Wu's situation did not seem to be good.

There was a pungent odor on his tattered clothes. It was said that the emperor summoned him on the day he was brought back to the capital, but some conflict arose between the two of them, and the King of Wu said something that made the emperor angry. In short, he was thrown here and even kicked when he was down, which must be partly due to the emperor.

He saw the two of them and just raised his eyelids. "You can't even wait until the day of execution. You are so impatient to send me off?"

"This king?" Huo Shibei sneered. His usual romantic appearance was no longer visible at this moment. His cold eyes were full of disgust for King Wu. "You can't call me this king now."

King Wu laughed, "So what."

Seeing that Huo Shibei was about to get angry, Gu Qinghe patted his arm soothingly, "Don't listen to him."

King Wu's eyes fell on Gu Qinghe, with a gloomy look in his eyes, "I should have gotten rid of you earlier."

"Yeah, what a pity." Gu Qinghe glanced at him with a hint of contempt, "You've worked so hard all your life, but now it's all for nothing. You should regret not getting rid of me first."

But she could not see any regret on King Wu's face.

This is really unpleasant.

The jailers outside had been taken care of in advance, and no one would come over, so there was nothing to worry about.

Gu Qinghe took a step forward, kicked King Wu to the ground, and stepped on his face. "Looking at your face, it's really disgusting. You dare to covet my mother. Are you worthy?"

"Your father is incompetent and can't protect her, so he should let her go..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Qinghe increased her force, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

let?

What does he think of his mother as, an object that can be easily transferred?

Gu Qinghe really didn't want to see King Wu's face, otherwise she was worried that she would not be able to resist and would stab him directly.

She looked away and saw Huo Shibei taking out the token that Princess Wu had given her from her arms.

He squatted down and handed the token to King Wu, "Where did you get this token?"

After staring at the token for a few seconds, the King of Wu suddenly burst into laughter. Huo Shibei was so angry by the laughter that he kicked him in the chest, causing him to vomit blood.

Huo Shibei lifted him up by the collar and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course he was laughing at your father's stupidity. Over the years, he had seen that the emperor was wary of him, so he left you in the capital and guarded the border alone. He did not allow you to practice martial arts or to stand out. He thought that this would make the emperor's fear of your Huo family disappear and keep your Huo family safe."

"Isn't he stupid?"

"When foreign invaders invade, the ministers murmur that they are lucky to have General Huo. When bandits roam around, the ministers say leave it to General Huo. He hears Huo Qiu's name almost every day. The ministers and the people praise him, which makes him upset. No matter how great Huo Qiu's contributions are, no matter how much affection there is between the two, it doesn't matter at this time."

"Tell me, in this case, how can he tolerate Huo Qiu?"

Even though Huoqiu had gradually given up power and left his son in the capital, he still did not intend to let Huoqiu go.

Of course, it was not because Huoqiu's existence threatened his position, but as an emperor, he would not allow anyone's reputation in the eyes of the people to be higher than his own.

Such an answer was not only hated by Huo Shibei, but also by Gu Qinghe.

Of course she knew that what the King of Wu said might not be true, but once the seeds of resentment were planted, they would take root and sprout with a little water.

How could Gu Qinghe not hate this? Her Chen family had never done anything bad in their lives. Her father taught and educated people, her mother treated illnesses and saved lives, and her brother fought for the country on the battlefield, but in the end they ended up like this. In fact, just because of their humble status, no one spoke up for her Chen family.

And Huo Shibei couldn't help but feel resentful.

He thought that this dog emperor was afraid of his Huo family, and he had to let this dog emperor watch. One day, it would be him, Huo Shibei, who would personally pull him off the throne.
