Chapter 106: Something is definitely being hidden from him
Regarding Gu Qingheng’s doubts, Gu Mengyao’s reasons were very simple.
Her younger brother was not an ordinary person, so it was normal for him to take a special path.
Just like her.
“Qingheng, although having a photographic memory is like cheating, others can’t have such an ability. So this is a sharp tool bestowed upon you by Heaven. Use this sharp tool to overcome obstacles, and I believe you will reach the end!”
“Sister…”
After hearing what Gu Mengyao said, Gu Qingheng was deeply moved. He thought, as expected of his sister, unlike him and his brother-in-law who always liked to tease him!
His sister’s words could motivate him even more!
At the same time, Gu Qingheng realized that his idea of taking the imperial examination was not wrong. Director Qingshan worried too much, but he didn’t realize that he was different from others.
He always thought that if he were still a child, he would never grow.
“When your brother-in-law comes back, I will also talk to him about it. Qingheng, both of us will support you. Even if you encounter immense trouble, your sister will help you resolve it.”
“Sister, look what you’re saying! What trouble could I cause! Unlike Xu Wang, who was thrown into prison and needed the Empress Dowager to rescue him… Even if I encounter such danger in the future, I will escape on my own!”
“Then I’ll see if you’re just boasting then.”
After the brother and sister had a playful chat, Gu Yu, who had been communicating with the alliance’s informants outside, also returned. When Gu Mengyao expressed Gu Qingheng’s desire to take the imperial examination, Gu Yu had no objections.
Although Gu Yu used to think that Gu Qingheng was too young to be an official.
However, now… if his younger brother-in-law could become an official earlier, then there would be one less light bulb.
“Qingheng, I think it’s quite good for you to be an official. Bringing Zhuo Fei along would also be a companion.”
“Brother-in-law, you want Zhuo Fei to stop bothering you! However, Zhuo Fei said he’ll wait another two years for the imperial examination! Hehe, so you can give up!”
“Wait another two years…”
Hearing Gu Yu say that he would bring Zhuo Fei along, Gu Qingheng immediately knew his brother-in-law’s ulterior motive. He immediately spoke out Zhuo Fei’s exact words, which made Gu Yu repeat them subconsciously after hearing them.
It wasn’t a matter of minutes to change that stinky brat Zhuo Fei’s mind!
Just wait, he must get rid of two light bulbs at once.
After receiving the support of Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng also let go of the heavy stone in his heart. He thought that if he could persuade Director Qingshan, he could participate in next year’s imperial examination.
After becoming an official, he would strive for another year. When the management matters were not so many, Sister Lian’ would also come over.
It would be best to meet Sister Lian’ before becoming an official.
Thinking of these, Gu Qingheng lowered his head and looked at the bracelet on his wrist. The longing in his heart seemed to materialize, transforming into a feeling called loneliness, which followed him like a shadow.
“Stop looking, hurry up and eat. After you pass the exam next year, I’ll take you to the Tang Sect to meet Tang Lian.”
“Really?”
“More real than pearls, eat quickly!”
When they were eating, Gu Yu saw his younger brother-in-law spacing out while looking at the bracelet, and guessed what Gu Qingheng was thinking.
Therefore, the words that came out of his mouth next made Gu Qingheng’s spirits lift, and he quickly looked up at Gu Yu.
His face showed an expression of “Did I hear that right? Brother-in-law, how did you become so good?” which made Gu Yu helplessly twitch his lips.
Perhaps he and his younger brother-in-law were too familiar, which led Gu Qingheng to understand his meaning even without speaking.
In the end, Gu Yu could only pick up a piece of green pepper for his younger brother-in-law, which successfully made Gu Qingheng’s face darken, and he felt happy afterward.
However, after dinner, when Gu Yu was lying alone on a chair in the courtyard, his face showed some entanglement.
Although Gu Yu didn’t care much about matters in the capital, the secretive demeanor of the alliance’s informants made Gu Yu very curious.
Especially after all matters in the capital were deliberately concealed, it made Gu Yu smell something special.
The alliance was definitely hiding something from him.
And thinking of the relationship between the alliance and Bai Qian, and that Bai Qian was now in the Imperial Palace in the capital, the fact that the alliance could still operate meant that Bai Qian was not in trouble, but rather others were.
The smooth arrest of Xu Wang indicated that the clues had already emerged, but Gu Yu hadn’t noticed them at first.
Thinking about it now, perhaps the Empress Dowager was in trouble.
Or perhaps the Emperor was in trouble.
Taking out Bai Qian’s letter from the space, Gu Yu suddenly smiled when he saw her telling the Gu family not to go out.
It seemed that Bai Qian had known about this long ago.
She had already written a letter and sent it to warn the Gu family, so they would be careful.
This way, even if the Emperor really died, Bai Qian would not mistreat the Gu family.
It was the Wang Clan that lost the Empress Dowager as their backing. Life would be difficult for them from now on!
…
“Empress, His Majesty’s serious illness has not yet recovered, and no imperial physician in the palace can treat him. Should we send someone to invite Gu Yu to treat His Majesty!”
“By the time you find Gu Yu, the Emperor would have already died.”
In the Imperial Palace, while Bai Qian was flipping through a pile of letters, Li Ye stood beside her with a face full of worry.
Subsequently, Li Ye couldn’t hold back any longer.
Although the news of the Emperor’s serious illness was being concealed now, if the news spread, the situation would become even more serious.
“Now, let’s see how long Shangguan Ling can last. Afterward, the subsequent plan can also be put into motion… Little eunuch, why are you looking at me like that? I did not poison the Emperor.”
However, Bai Qian didn’t seem to care. She looked relaxed at the moment, which made Li Ye anxious.
Even though he had been reborn, Li Ye was just an eunuch in his previous life and didn’t have Bai Qian’s composure.
Although he hadn’t been castrated in this life and even had a big fat son… it felt like a dream, making Li Ye feel like he was living in a dream.
And Bai Qian, seeing the worry on Li Ye’s face, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth. Then she raised her hand and beckoned towards Li Ye. Her long sleeve slid down with the movement, revealing her fair white wrist.
Against the backdrop of the blood-red bracelet, it appeared even more fair and delicate skinned.
Even though Bai Qian had given birth, it had not diminished her allure to men. Instead, it had increased it, making Li Ye, who had been an eunuch in his previous life, somewhat unable to resist.
He took a few steps towards Bai Qian, and then Bai Qian directly reached out and grabbed Li Ye. With a forceful pull, she dragged him onto the soft couch and immediately kissed him intensely.
It was only when this aggressive kiss almost made Li Ye suffocate that Bai Qian released him.
“Don’t worry! I will resolve all of this. The throne will be our son’s.”
