The emperor had already spoken, and it would be inappropriate to refrain from resigning, Xiao Yu'an stood up from the banquet and saluted the emperor.

"Yu An is ugly."

"Father-in-law, I'm tired of preparing a table, a bowl of ink, and an unopened sword for Yu An." Xiao Yu'an said to the eunuch on the side.

When everything was ready, Xiao Yu'an arranged the brocade on the table, holding a sword in his hand, dipping it in ink and waving it on the brocade cloth.

When everyone was amazed by Xiao Yu'an's sword dancing skills, the movements in his hands suddenly stopped.

The father-in-law on the side stepped forward and picked up the brocade cloth on the table, but it turned out that Xiao Yu'an actually drew a simple map of mountains and rivers with a sword, and the words Guotai and Min'an were written on it.

Gu Wanchao knew that Xiao Yu'an was talented, but she really didn't expect that this person was really a blockbuster.

The emperor was full of praise for Xiao Yu'an, and immediately gave Xiao Yu'an a lot of rewards, and everyone present couldn't help but admire, Xiao Yu'an can be said to be famous in the capital today.

However, the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet had not yet faded, and a few days later, a piece of news quietly spread in the capital - Murong Zhao died in Khitan.

Gu Wanchao, who learned the news, couldn't believe it, she obviously revealed the news to Gu Erye, and Gu Erye also clearly informed the emperor's uncle of the news.

If the emperor's uncle knew the news of her death, there was no reason why he would let Gu traitor release it.

After all, the reason why Gu traitorous ministers designed her to kill was to provoke a war with the Khitan in order to profit from it.

There is no way he could have connived at this.

But now, how can this be?

Gu Wanchao didn't have the heart to study all day, and finally when it was time to leave the palace, Gu Traitor, who usually came to pick her up, was unusually absent today, and only sent a housekeeper over.

When she returned to the Gu Mansion, she understood, it turned out. Because the news of Murong Zhao's death in the Khitan came out, Gu Traitor was still in the palace at this time.

In the imperial study, the emperor summoned several ministers in the court to discuss the murder of Murong Zhao.

"After sending so many people to escort the princess and relatives, the county lord will actually be killed on the way to the relatives, come, you tell me, how can this be so?"

Although the emperor had already known the fact that Murong Zhao had been killed, he also sent someone in time to prevent Gu from releasing the news.

But today, when the news suddenly came in the capital, the emperor knew it very well. He guarded against the wrong person himself.

Listening to the emperor's questioning, the ministers below looked left and right, and no one stood up to say a word.

"Your Majesty, my court sent the princess to make peace because the Khitan sent envoys to the court to express their desire for peace talks, and the Khitan's move was really unexpected."

One of the ministers said it head-on.

"Unexpected? Now that the county lord is dead, the princess still doesn't know if it's safe, according to the old minister's view, since the Khitan ignores the truce agreement, he will send someone to recall the princess. ”

Gu traitors have always been the main battle faction, and now that Murong Zhao is dead, they have no reason to make peace with the Khitan again, and Gu traitors took the opportunity to put forward their own opinions.

"Once the war starts, it will cost the people and money, and the prime minister will say it is easy." The Lord and the faction were opposed to Gu Traitor.

"People have already ridden on our heads, just because they are afraid of losing money and labor, do they let others kick their noses in the face? Your Majesty, according to the old minister's view, this battle must be fought. ”

For a while, the imperial study was filled with the arguments of the ministers, and the emperor really had a headache when he heard it.

"Silence!" The emperor finally couldn't take it anymore.

The ministers were silent in an instant, and the emperor rubbed his eyebrows, raised his hand and waved.

"Zhong Aiqing, let's go back first, Rong Zhen wants to solve it."

"Wechen retired."

Only then did the ministers retreat from the imperial study.

As soon as they walked out of the imperial study, several people divided into two gangs and discussed.

Gu traitor's lackeys entered Gu's mansion overnight to discuss with Gu traitorous ministers about tomorrow's performance in the court.

And Gu Wanchao's family had their own thoughts, and as soon as Gu traitor stepped into the mansion with his front foot, the three of them tried their best to get close to Gu traitor's study and listen to the corner.

"Gu Xiang, the Khitan's assassination of my county lord this time is simply a naked provocation, according to me, you should lead troops to kill it and raze the Khitan to the ground." As soon as the lackey is a military general, he can't wait to rush to the battlefield immediately.

"Shut up. Now is not the time to talk about this, Xiangye, today the Holy Lord summoned you to the palace to discuss this matter, what is the attitude of the Holy Lord on this matter? "The second lackey is more concerned about whether the emperor wants to fight or peace.

"The Holy Lord did not express his position today, but the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for my dynasty and the Khitan to reconcile again no matter what." Gu Traitor took a sip of tea and informed everyone of the saint's attitude.

"Now this battle must be fought, but what the old man is worried about is whether the death of the county lord was committed by the Khitan, or whether there is a traitor in my court."

As soon as Gu traitor's words came out, it was not only Gu Erye who was shocked, but also Gu Wanchao outside the door.

Li Changning obviously said that it was Gu Traitor who wanted her life, but listening to Gu Traitor's words, he obviously didn't know anything about his death.

However, if it weren't for Gu Traitor, who else could it be?

Gu Wanchao is now more and more incomprehensible to the current situation.

While she was thinking about it, she was unsteady under her feet, and she fell heavily to the ground, making a noise.

"Who?" The military general who heard the movement shouted, and then got up quickly to open the door.

Gu Erye on the roof of the building and Liu Shi in the corner listened to the movement, and they also left quietly.

Gu Wanchao was still sitting in place, touching her little buttocks with her hand, with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Gu traitor went out to see that it was his granddaughter, and he didn't suspect that Gu Wanchao was here to eavesdrop, so he hurriedly ran over and hugged her.

"Chaochao, why did you come here?"

"Woo woo, Chao Chao just wanted to go around, who knew that he was mixed with a stone, but he fell to my death." Fortunately, she is a little doll, and she cried and resolved the crisis.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's deliberations, and go back and rest as soon as possible." Gu Traitor now only wanted to send his little granddaughter back as soon as possible, so he opened his mouth to send off the guest.

The lackeys didn't suspect that Gu Wanchao would come to eavesdrop on such a small doll at all, so they didn't take this matter to heart, and when they saw the prime minister sending off the guests, they had to leave first.

After Gu Traitor sent her back to her residence, he returned to the study and prepared the recital for the next day.

And Gu Wanchao really couldn't figure out in his heart, besides Gu traitorous ministers, who else would use the death of himself to destroy the Khitan and his relatives.

Li Changning? I'm afraid she alone doesn't have the courage to set up such a big situation, after all, she is a princess raised in the deep palace, even if she doesn't want to kiss, she can't think of such a plan to kill herself with one stone.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
