"Almost, although I went out of the palace once during the period, I was also non-stop." Gu Changming thought of telling his father about Su Xu's death, and his father responded too indifferently, "Father is complaining that the emperor doesn't value us?" โ
"I don't want to be an official anymore, so why do I care about this." Gu Wuduo walked quickly in front of him, "Changming, you don't have to meddle in these things anymore, Su Xu has already lost his life, I don't want to see you the next person who has an accident." โ
"Father, this is not your code of conduct." Gu Changming took a step back instead, and found that he no longer needed to look up at the person in front of him, "What you taught me since I was a child has never been these. โ
"I regret it, okay?" Gu Wuduo's sneer finally couldn't help but come out, "I regret it again, and I can't wait to leave here with you immediately." โ
Gu Changming still didn't see the slightest annoyance: "Father, it is also the emperor's intention to invite you to enter the palace and guard the overall situation with General Yujing." โ
"So, do you think I'm going to shout the Emperor's grace?" Gu Wuduo looked disdainful, "I don't want you to get involved in your career, why do you refuse to be obedient, and get closer to the emperor." Changming, do you mean that I will harm you, and you don't want to listen to me? โ
"Father, the emperor went to rest first, there is nothing wrong. I'm not stupid here, but there are some things that need to be thought through. Gu Changming's attitude was completely different from his father's, and he was not affected in the slightest, "This matter is too involved, my best friends are involved, and now even Su Xu has lost his life because of it." Father, Su Xu is shielding a person. โ
Gu Wuduo was so keen, he only listened to one sentence, and then he knew his intentions: "You mean that Su Xu is shielding me?" โ
"I doubted my father, but my father's bad attitude made me think that I had nothing to do with my father." Gu Changming decided to tell the details of Su Xu's accident before and after, "Father, Su Xu is the only witness in the Imperial Garden. He was so frightened that he ran away, seemingly very timid, but in fact he was extremely bold, and he refused to say who the person he saw was. I thought there was still a chance to ask, who knew he was dead. โ
"Someone attacked the emperor in the imperial garden, and Su Xu knows the murderer." Gu Wuduo finally put the anger aside, "The emperor's question is not pretended, it is true. โ
"Father thinks the emperor is pretending?" Gu Changming was slightly surprised, "How do you say this?" โ
"I'm not the only one who feels this way, General Yukei is also suspicious." Gu Wuduo told him the speculation of the two in turn, "If Su Xu didn't see a third person in the Imperial Garden, that is to say, there is no such person at all, and the emperor's illness is also pretended, but it is even more reasonable." โ
Gu Changming lowered his head and groaned, assuming that the emperor was not attacked, and let Su Xu confess and fabricate the illusion of being attacked. Then Su Xu escaped from the palace and sneaked out of Kaifeng Mansion through his methods to avoid the limelight for a while, which was indeed the same as what his father said, and it was reasonable.
"What was the emperor's reaction when he learned of Su Xu's death?" Gu Wuduo's eyes locked on Gu Changming, "At that time, the emperor only left you, but sent me and General Yujing away, why do you say?" โ
"The emperor asked the secret guard to collect Su Xu's body, and then burned the body to ashes." Gu Changming suddenly lowered his head and looked at his hands, "Father, Su Xu was killed by me." He is in front of me, obviously this person, I know that the original Su Xu is dead. โ
He mistakenly thought that Su Xu could still distinguish people, because he didn't immediately pounce and perform a killing move. Later, I realized that it was just an instinct, an instinct of the weak against the strong, even if it was a beast.
"Does the emperor blame you?" Gu Wuduo's expression showed that he couldn't bear it, one was a son, the other was a student, he understood how uncomfortable Gu Changming's mood was at this time, but he just blindly held back, "After all, you killed an official of the imperial court." โ
"The emperor didn't mention this, and said that he would bring Su Xu's ashes back first." Gu Changming was touched by his father's words, and some wanted to overturn his speculation, if the emperor acted in a scene with Su Xu, then who planted the poison on Su Xu's body!
Gu Wuduo was silent for a moment before he said, "There are some things that are extremely scary to think about. โ
Gu Changming understood the intention of these words, and when the emperor heard the news of Su Xu's death, he did not show too much surprise. In case the emperor knew in advance that Su Xu would die, then the series was arranged in advance.
"No, there is no need for the emperor to do this." Gu Changming snapped his thoughts back to the right path. Every plan has a purpose when it is implemented, what is the purpose of the emperor pretending to faint and pretending to have amnesia?
Su Xu has no reason to die, even if the pretended incident is exposed, the emperor does not need to sacrifice a right-hand man.
"The emperor's thoughts, who can guess if you dare to ask." Gu Wuduo snorted coldly, "Changming, these are all speculations, you can't do it accurately, you go back first when you leave the palace." And take that little phoenix with you, you don't need to stay in the palace for the time being. โ
"Father, the emperor didn't think of me, it's understandable, he should have been busy for a long time." Gu Changming suddenly wanted to see General Yujing.
"Don't you even listen to me!" Gu Wuduo raised his voice sharply and scolded.
"I want to see General Eton, and I'll leave as soon as I see it." Gu Changming insisted on his principles, "The emperor has gone to rest, and General Yujing should be the same as his father, still in the palace." โ
Gu Wuduo saw that his son refuted his words, and walked out by himself, stretching out his hand to stop someone: "Changming, where are you going!" โ
"Father, I'm going to see General Yukei, and I have some doubts and want him to solve my doubts." Gu Changming naturally wouldn't do anything with his father, "Father, don't say what the emperor's attitude is when he hears about Su Xu's death, at least my father's attitude also makes me a little chilled." โ
Gu Changming has been respectful to his father since he was a child, and such a sentence today is already very serious. Gu Wuduo withdrew his hand in a daze, and saw his son walking in front of him: "It's not that I don't feel sorry for Su Xu. โ
"You're just more angry with the emperor's attitude." Gu Changming saw the problem too thoroughly, and his father couldn't refute it in one sentence.
Pushing open the door of the Taiqing Palace, Gu Changming thought that the condition of the fruit was unknown, and the old injuries had flared up to such an extent, I don't know who Liu Zhuxue invited to the old Wen Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and whether he could prescribe the right medicine. To know the emperor's current condition, Imperial Doctor Wen must not return to the house without authorization, even if he does not stay by the emperor's side, he must stay in the imperial hospital and follow the rumors.
Gu Changming unconsciously lowered his head again and looked at his hand, obviously there was not a trace of blood, but it would probably take a long time for him to remember the taste of killing Su Xu with his own hands, like a nightmare, lingering.
"Why did you come out, didn't Master Gu say that he was going to look for you?" General Yujing really didn't leave, and when he saw Gu Changming, he immediately greeted him, "The emperor left you inside and forgot to tell the rest?" โ
"The emperor should have made a very important decision, right?" Gu Changming didn't ask about his father, but could spread out with General Yujing and say, "The general came back this time for this matter." โ
General Yujing was obviously stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect Gu Changming to know such a confidential matter like this, and even a character like Gu Wuduo just hastily passed two sentences: "The emperor told you what happened?" โ
"The emperor made a decision quickly, and it should be the decision that the general wants." Gu Changming didn't wait for his father to appear, could it be that his father also stayed in the Taiqing Palace, and he also needed to understand some truths.
"The hollow of Kaifeng Mansion is also a great danger." General Yujing sighed before saying, "If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I wouldn't dare to sneak back alone, I wouldn't be able to last a few days, and I would have to leave overnight." โ
"When the general enters the palace, how many people see the general?" Gu Changming asked.
"Nothing more, nothing less. I know what you're worried about, and you can rest assured that the people I left behind still have a game that others don't break so easily. Otherwise, where would I have the courage to throw down tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and leave as soon as I say I'll go. General Yujing chuckled, "I heard Goshawk talk about you, saying that you did a great favor in the house, and the prince of Changming really deserves his reputation." โ
"General, what if Kaifeng Mansion is that bureau?" Gu Changming came to such a sentence again without a head.
General Yujing still understood: "The emperor's decision is indeed as I wish. The Chinese herbal medicines in Kaifeng Mansion are empty, and it will take at least two months or more to slowly replenish them, and the Tai Hospital will allocate at least six or seven percent of the manpower to go back with me, if something happens in the palace, I am afraid that it will soon become anxious. โ
"The general is a smart man, and he can understand it at one point." Gu Changming heard the extremely light footsteps behind him and didn't look back, "Father, I've already met the general and I'm about to go back." โ
Of course, Gu Wuduo wouldn't ask more about the topic of the two, but he saw that General Yujing's eyebrows were furrowed even tighter, it seemed that Gu Changming had a big problem, and he was about to slip away: "General, Xiao'er doesn't understand the rules of the army, and he likes to analyze and speak, if he says something wrong, the general should not take it to heart." โ
"No, Xiao Gu is a very interesting person." General Yujing smiled brightly, "The little girl you brought is very supportive, I just saw her eating a mouthful of oil at the small stove, and she didn't feel tired at all." โ
When Gu Changming heard this, he immediately smiled: "Phoenix is good at this, just be at peace with what happens." โ
General Yujing slapped his head heavily: "Yes, yes, yes, I, the old man, can't think of such a suitable word to describe it, but it's just going with the flow." The number of times she has entered the palace should be only a handful, but how can I look at it, she has no scruples at all, she looks like she wants to do what she wants, very good, very good. โ
Gu Changming heard General Yujing say it twice very well, indicating that Little Phoenix's temper was quite in line with his appetite: "To be able to get the praise of the god of war of this dynasty, I will thank the general for her first." โ
"Lao Gu, there is no shortage of people here, Mao Liu is busy again. I sent my two children out of the palace. "General Yujing didn't ask a question at all, and after speaking, he decided, "Xiao Gu, when you are busy for a while, the day of the reunion of father and son is just around the corner." It's me, I can't go back to Kaifeng Mansion once a year, but I envy you like this. โ
Gu Wuduo couldn't stop General Yujing at all, and watched the two leave side by side, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a slight smile.
The little phoenix had already wiped the corners of her mouth and hands, looking docile, and when she saw Gu Changming appear, she stood up. When she saw General Yujing next to her again, she quickly swallowed the words she wanted to say.
"She's not an outsider, is she?" General Yujing asked with a smile.
"No, what the general wants to say, just rest assured." Gu Changming understood that since General Yujing was in this posture, he must have deliberately concealed his father.
