Gu Yu did what he said. After knowing that his little wife didn’t like the rumors outside, he immediately sent people to resolve them all at once.
At the same time, Gu Yu also found someone to scare the maid who had told Mengyao Gu the news, telling her to mind her own business, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to keep her tongue.
According to Gu Yu’s original intention, he would kill the gossiping maid directly.
However, he thought that his little wife was not a fool.
Coupled with the fact that it was not advisable to see blood during pregnancy, Gu Yu could only scare the other party. If she made a mistake again later, she would have to die.
Fortunately, everything was calm and no other incidents occurred.
No, the Gu Residence during this period was not as peaceful as usual. Instead, many guests came to visit one after another, which made Gu Qing busy as a spinning top, unable to stop.
It was something to be proud of that his son was capable… However, Gu Qingheng’s strength was quite shocking to Gu Qing.
As the top scholar in the first year of imperial examination reform, known as a genius in the capital, and with the appreciation of Empress Bai Qian, all these were enough to prove Gu Qingheng’s excellence.
If they didn’t build relationships at this time, there would be no way later.
However, Gu Qingheng himself only received guests in the past few days. After seeing the endless stream of visitors, he directly handed them over to his father to handle, and then accompanied Tang Lian back to the Tang Sect to finalize the elder position.
The journey was long, so Gu Yu specially found more than a dozen skilled martial artists in the alliance and gave Gu Qingheng a lot of medicinal powder, telling him to pay attention to safety along the way.
Although he was worried about Gu Qingheng’s safety, Gu Yu knew that he couldn’t always be watching, so he had to let Gu Qingheng leave.
With the first time, there would be a second time, and perhaps he would not be so worried later.
For this, Gu Mengyao had the same idea and agreed to Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian leaving.
Even without the protection of the alliance and others, Tang Lian’s martial arts were not low, which was enough to protect Gu Qingheng’s safety.
Carefully calculating the time for the round trip, Gu Mengyao suddenly realized that by the time her brother returned, she would also be close to giving birth.
“Many people have been visiting recently, and it’s too noisy. Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s belly getting bigger and bigger, Gu Yu was very worried. Especially when many people came to visit the Gu Residence, it made him feel very noisy.
Even he felt so, Gu Mengyao must have felt even more uncomfortable.
Therefore, Gu Yu thought of taking Gu Mengyao out to hide for a while, so that her ears could also have some peace.
“No, with such a big belly, it’s inconvenient to go anywhere. Have you finished your business, Ah Yu? You always come here to accompany me, and you don’t care about business. Don’t let anything happen to Gu Ding again.”
When Gu Mengyao heard Gu Yu’s words, she shook her head directly, saying that there was no need to go out specially.
Although there were many visitors, Gu Yu had sent people to block the back garden of the Gu Residence. Let alone a living person, not even a bird could fly over.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao’s side was very quiet, without the trouble of being disturbed by anyone.
Gu Mengyao could understand Gu Yu’s caution. After all, they had too many enemies, and she was weak during her pregnancy. If they encountered some bad guys, anything could happen.
Even though Gu Mengyao believed that she could kill all the visitors despite being pregnant, as a new mother, she was extra cautious and dared not gamble with the child in her womb on the outcome.
“Don’t worry, everything is arranged over there, and nothing will happen! Besides, you are more important than anything else. Even if I don’t want to be the richest man in the capital, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Gu Yu stopped pushing the wheelchair, then reached out to touch Gu Mengyao’s belly. Feeling the restlessness of the child in her womb, he really wished he could hit these two troublemakers.
Don’t they know that their mother had a hard time during pregnancy!
They were acting so naughty.
“If other women heard you say that, they would probably be so envious that their eyes would turn red.”
Gu Mengyao smiled, placed her hand on Gu Yu’s palm, and then looked at their clasped hands, feeling a warmth in her heart.
After so many years of ups and downs, to be able to live such a leisurely and peaceful life now was truly unexpected!
Now, Gu Mengyao only wished to give birth smoothly.
Then, with her husband and children, their family of four would live even more happily.
“Then let them envy. I will only be good to you in this life.”
Gu Yu was always a obedient little husband in front of Gu Mengyao. Even if he was ruthless to others, he was willing to give his heart and soul to Gu Mengyao.
This was also the magic of destiny.
If Gu Yu had not met Gu Mengyao and her brother when he first opened his eyes, the development might have been completely different.
Therefore, sometimes, fate was truly predestined.
…
“Have you found out? Where is the Witch Priest?”
In the Imperial Palace, Bai Qian took small sips of tea from her teacup. Looking at the guard kneeling below, she asked unhurriedly.
Now that she could finally free her hands, she could start preparing to deal with the Witch Priest.
Recently, everything was developing in a good direction. Besides the successful recruitment of talented people, the troubles in the martial arts world had also been resolved.
With internal problems solved, only external troubles remained.
According to the information investigated by the alliance, several countries adjacent to Linfeng Kingdom were impatiently making moves and would likely attack Linfeng Kingdom soon.
Bai Qian wouldn’t believe it if the Witch Priest wasn’t involved in this.
However, Bai Qian didn’t know why the Witch Priest was so obsessed with her.
Beautiful and peerless women were rare, but not non-existent… Even if Bai Qian admitted it herself, there were probably no women in this world more beautiful than her who had not yet appeared.
But just because of beauty, he wanted to possess her.
Did this Witch Priest have straw in his head?
Bai Qian always looked down on those who coveted beauty, especially those in power. This made her want to defeat them and see their regretful expressions, which was truly satisfying just thinking about it.
“Your subordinate has already found out that the Witch Priest is staying in Yelinyin Country and is instigating the royal family to launch a coup… Currently, it seems that the Witch Priest is only leaving his confidantes to command in neighboring countries, while he himself is obsessed with unifying all countries.”
When the guard heard Bai Qian’s question, he immediately told her the information he knew.
It was a little different from what Bai Qian had expected. The Witch Priest was not personally involved in the conspiracy, but was in other countries pursuing the dream of unifying the world.
It seemed that she had to help the Witch Priest.
She couldn’t let the path to world unification be too smooth, otherwise how could the Witch Priest show his true strength!
