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

When she came, Gu Qinghe was worried that Huo Shibei would act on impulse, but now, she is not worried anymore.

The person who actually killed Huoqiu is still enjoying himself behind the scenes. He will not expose himself just for the sake of the King of Wu.

He stepped back, tugged at Gu Qinghe's arm, and looked at King Wu with disdain. A loser who was close to death was not worth his while to do anything.

But the King of Wu was completely desperate. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed, "You asked me where I got that token. I took it off Huoqiu in front of Bazi Slope. He was still alive when I took it off. His eyes were staring at me fiercely."

"But I told him that His Majesty said that if you live, the rest of your Huo family will go to hell with you. If you die, the rest of your Huo family can still live and die on the battlefield with a good reputation. This is the greatest mercy His Majesty has shown him."

The King of Wu recalled Huoqiu's expression at that time, and his mood visibly improved. Even though he was in prison, he could not hide his joy. "He died as soon as I finished speaking. To be honest, he should thank me, otherwise he would have died in obscurity."

"You're looking for death!" Huo Shibei's eyes turned bloodshot. He grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

Gu Qinghe quickly grabbed him, "Huo Shibei!"

She said anxiously, "If you do this, you will fall into his trap. Let go."

After finally pulling Huo Shibei away, Gu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to King Wu with a frown, looked at him expressionlessly, pinched his chin to force him to open his mouth, and quickly threw a pill into his mouth.

King Wu covered his throat and retched. Gu Qinghe said coldly, "If you want to die, you have to wait until the execution day. You want to anger Huo Shibei so much and find ways to die. How come King Wu also feels that he has failed?"

"You've lived for so many years, your only son was poisoned to death by you, your wife hates you to the core, and your only daughter still has some love for you. Do you think she will still respect you after she knows that the fire that nearly killed her was also caused by you on purpose?"

When Pingyang was mentioned, a gleam of light flashed in King Wu's eyes.

Over the years, he was indeed good to Pingyang. Even though there was a bit of falsehood in his treatment, he was sincere at times.

He and the princess appear to be in love but their hearts are not together. From the outside, they seem to be very affectionate, but only the parties involved know how much they hate each other in private.

The fire that year did not kill Pingyang. He had wanted to find an opportunity to kill him again later, but the princess protected Pingyang so well that he didn't find an opportunity for a long time.

Later, as time went by, hearing Pingyang calling him "Father" over and over again, the King of Wu gradually gave up this idea.

Pingyang had gradually become distant from him in the past two years, and King Wu knew that she must have noticed something.

Now she followed her mother to Lianzhou and didn't even stay to see him.

But who should be blamed for this?

After his thoughts were exposed, King Wu could no longer laugh. He just looked at Gu Qinghe and asked, "What did you feed me?"

"Nature is a good thing."

She was too lazy to look at King Wu again, so she pushed Huo Shibei and walked out.

After leaving the prison, Huo Shibei was still in a bad mood. Gu Qinghe pursed her lips and comforted him, "King Wu is doomed, and the cause of General Huo's death is clear. This is good news, right? You just need to strengthen your faith and keep going down one path. General Huo will definitely be proud of you if he knows about it."

"He won't." Huo Shibei shook his head and snorted, the bitterness in his eyes difficult to hide, "If he knew how to resist and hoped that I could help him get revenge, he wouldn't have stopped me from practicing martial arts in the first place."

"He clearly only wanted to keep things quiet. Even when someone had already put a calculating knife to his neck, he didn't even think of resisting. Believe it or not, before he died, he must have hoped that I wouldn't avenge him, and that he could just live his life as a dandy kid that everyone despised, not caring about anything."

"He just doesn't want you to take risks for him." Gu Qinghe said calmly: "Since he already knows that the emperor is wary of him, he has long expected this day to come. He made this choice because he doesn't want you to follow his old path."

Gu Qinghe's words also contained a reminder to Huo Shibei.

She knew that Huo Shibei was now working for the prince, which was basically the same path that General Huo Qiu had taken back then.

It is said that the Crown Prince is kind, but if he was really kind, he would not have lived to this day. In his previous life, it was even more impossible for him to defeat the favored Fourth Prince and sit in that position.

Gu Qinghe couldn't help but feel worried, as she was afraid that Shao Wei would also be involved.

After all, Gu Qinghe still hasn't figured out why Shao Wei died in his previous life.

Will there come a day in the future when the person above him will start to plot against and be wary of him?

Huo Shibei didn't speak for a long time. Gu Qinghe knew that he had heard it, so she didn't say anything else.

"What are your plans next?" Huo Shibei asked her.

Gu Qinghe thought of Shao Wei's letter, and the wrinkles on her brows were gently smoothed. She whispered, "Go to Chizhou."

Shao Wei actually didn't want her to go to Chizhou. According to the current situation, it would be safest for her to stay in the capital.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Gu Qinghe could see that the battle with Lirang and Huxiang was inevitable. His mother and Uncle Fu were both in Chizhou, so Gu Qinghe certainly would not stay in the capital.

Besides, if she went to Chizhou, perhaps she could find a way to find out some news about her brother. It would be even better if she could take another risk and blend in with the people of Lirang.

When Huo Shibei heard that she was going to Chizhou, he paused, then his eyes lit up, "If you are going to Chizhou, do me a favor."

He brought Gu Qinghe to Yuexin Tower, and the woman in yellow, whom he had met once before, helped her pour tea.

Gu Qinghe stared at Huo Shibei, "What kind of help? If you don't tell me, I'm really leaving. I still have a lot of things to do."

He promised to accompany Mingxuan to watch her punish those corrupt officials in the manor, but he hasn't gone yet. He also said he wanted to go with her to see what Lin Wan'er was up to, but he hasn't gone yet.

Knowing that she was going to Chizhou, Mingxuan must be angry. Gu Qinghe was thinking about buying some things to comfort her.

"Why rush? We'll have time to talk about it when the people arrive."

Two cups of tea passed, and the person Huo Shibei was waiting for finally arrived.

Gu Qinghe looked towards the door, and saw a man with extraordinary temperament and a pretty girl walking towards them.

Unfortunately, she had met both of them before.

One was the frail prince who was said to be ill all year round, and the other was Princess Lirang who came to marry.
