Chapter 141 More Explosive News
Upon hearing that the Emperor’s illness was not normal, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown, then relaxed.
Regarding the Wang Clan and the Empress Dowager drugging the Emperor, Gu Yu knew some hidden secrets but didn’t expect it to end up like this.
Originally, the Wang Clan didn’t expect such a development when they administered the drug.
However, the drug was obtained from the Witch Priest…
The Witch Priest was like a hungry jackal to Linfeng Kingdom, with his eyes full of leaping fat sheep, eager to grab the best-looking one to fill his empty stomach.
Presumably, the Empress Dowager didn’t know that the drug was provided by the Witch Priest!
Therefore, it served the Wang Clan right to fall to this point!
“Since the Emperor is critically ill and has not recovered, are you asking us to come because you want to cure the Emperor?”
“If you had come a few days earlier, perhaps things wouldn’t have reached the worst point, but it’s too late to say anything now… Even you, Gu Yu, can’t bring a dead person back to life!”
“Hmm, indeed.”
After hearing such important news from Bai Qian, before Gu Mengyao could recover, even more explosive news followed.
The Emperor was dead.
It was thanks to Bai Qian for keeping such important news a secret until now, without letting others know, otherwise Linfeng Kingdom would have been in chaos long ago!
However, it’s also possible that Bai Qian did it deliberately.
After all, she also knew how powerful Gu Yu’s medical skills were. If she didn’t want the Emperor to wake up again, she could only act in advance.
These were Gu Yu’s speculations, and he didn’t want to delve further into the facts. Anyway, even the Emperor was dead now, and things had become uncontrollable.
If Bai Qian were to ascend the throne, Gu Yu could breathe a sigh of relief.
Overall, Bai Qian was not an ordinary person. The fact that she could develop the alliance to this extent was enough to prove her ability.
Moreover, if Bai Qian wasn’t allowed to come now, who else could take her place?
Don’t forget… the royal bloodline was scarce. Originally, there was only the Emperor, and now he was completely wiped out.
Therefore, they could only support Bai Qian.
“The Emperor has passed…”
“Well, that is precisely why I wanted to call you two to the capital, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
After Gu Mengyao digested the news, she spoke with disbelief.
When Bai Qian smiled helplessly, Gu Mengyao finally believed it was true and not a joke.
No one would dare to make such a joke.
The Emperor was truly dead!
He died at the hands of the Empress Dowager and the Wang Clan, and under the manipulation of the enemy country’s Witch Priest.
It was truly stifling!
“Upon hearing such important news, my husband and I are also a little flustered. Let’s end it here for today! We will visit the Empress tomorrow after we are prepared.”
“Alright, I am also a bit tired. Please excuse me for not seeing you off.”
“Not at all.”
When Gu Mengyao was at a loss, Gu Yu immediately stepped forward and said with a smile to Bai Qian. Bai Qian also raised her sleeve to lightly cover her mouth, knowing what Gu Yu meant.
Just by the threatening line of sight Gu Yu cast, she knew she couldn’t continue further.
Therefore, Bai Qian did not give a direct order, but nodded to Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao instead.
In this situation, it was not advisable to push too hard.
Otherwise, it might have the opposite effect.
Regarding the Gu family, especially Gu Mengyao, Bai Qian did not want to give up such a good partner.
With Gu Mengyao holding the fort in Linfeng Kingdom, it could be fearless of other countries’ coveting, and she could comfortably remain on the throne!
Thinking of her past life’s experiences, under internal and external troubles, her days were not good.
However, in this life, there have been considerable changes.
The most obvious one was Gu Mengyao’s side!
Except for Gu Qing, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng did not die, and Gu Mengyao’s martial arts had become even more powerful.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
She would definitely not encounter the same fate as in her past life, absolutely!
Therefore, even if the Emperor died in advance, she could turn a disadvantage into an advantage!
Now, although Gu Mengyao appeared to be impacted, seeing Gu Yu’s calm state, she must have already figured things out in her heart.
Since that was the case, she didn’t need to worry too much.
She just needed to wait quietly.
…
“Ayu, do you think we should get involved in this mess?”
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Gu Mengyao sat in the carriage without speaking, appearing to be in thought, so Gu Yu did not disturb her, letting her figure things out.
However, such a major change was not something Gu Mengyao could figure out by herself.
Therefore, after failing to reach a conclusion, she looked at Gu Yu with some frustration, wanting her clever little husband to help her make a decision.
Even killing enemies on the battlefield would be better than dealing with something like this!
At least, she just needed to kill enemies.
There was nothing else to worry about.
“It’s already like this, we can only go all the way.”
“But this is too strange! Someone disappears just like that, and next, Linfeng Kingdom will fall into chaos again.”
“Don’t think like that! If we want Linfeng Kingdom to continue to operate normally, I think we should support Bai Qian even more.”
“?”
Gu Yu would not refuse his little wife’s plea for help.
But as he spoke, it made Gu Mengyao even more confused.
To prevent Linfeng Kingdom from falling into chaos, they had to support Bai Qian’s ascension to the throne???
Such a development was too strange!
“Think about it! Linfeng Kingdom’s royal bloodline is scarce. After one precious seed dies, if Bai Qian doesn’t take over, who else will they find? Now, unless a royal blood descendant suddenly appears, only then will there be a chance to compete with Bai Qian.”
“Perhaps, there really is one!”
“Even if there really is one, if he hasn’t appeared for so many years, he probably won’t have much ability… At least, without connections in the imperial court, how can he compete with Bai Qian who has the Bai family and the alliance!”
“…”
“Therefore, now we can only push Bai Qian to the top and quickly suppress any opposing voices. This way, Linfeng Kingdom can quickly return to normal and avoid widespread chaos and panic among the people.”
As Gu Yu explained his analysis, Gu Mengyao’s tense emotions gradually stabilized.
Gu Yu’s words seemed to carry some kind of magic, allowing people to quickly calm down.
Of course, it was also because what he said made sense.
Since it was already like this, even for the sake of the people of Linfeng Kingdom, they had to support Bai Qian’s ascension.
“Ah!”
“Ayu, be careful!”
At this moment, a coachman’s scream suddenly came from outside, which made Gu Mengyao immediately hug Gu Yu’s waist and kick out, quickly leaving through the car window.
