Chapter 160 – Are You Trying to Frame Someone?
By the time other officials learned about Mengyao Gu joining the palace as a guard, she had already been on duty for several days.
When Mengyao Gu first arrived at the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Guards within the palace were very resistant to her…
The reason? Naturally, it was because Mengyao Gu was just a woman, who looked delicate and weak. How could she be stronger than them!
Even though Mengyao Gu had stayed in the military camp for some time and made quite a few achievements, looking at Mengyao Gu’s father was enough to know that something was fishy. After all… Qing Gu was a deputy general in the army!
If they wanted to fake it, it would only take minutes.
Therefore, the Imperial Guards remained skeptical of Mengyao Gu’s true strength.
So, on Mengyao Gu’s first day, she encountered many obstacles.
The second day, the conflict escalated.
The third day, it completely erupted.
The fourth day, Mengyao Gu became the big sister, and a group of bruised and battered Imperial Guards stood obediently…
“Mengyao, it’s already this late, and you’re still on patrol! Come and rest for a while, and resume later.”
“Greetings, Lord Gu!!!”
“Alright, alright, we’ve met so many times, no need to be so polite.”
When Yu Gu arrived at the Imperial Palace with a pile of delicious food to visit, Mengyao Gu was leading a few people on patrol, explaining the shortcomings in their martial arts to her new subordinates, emphasizing that only by correcting them could they improve faster.
Upon seeing Yu Gu arrive, Mengyao Gu did not refuse. The Imperial Guards by her side were even more sly.
After greeting Yu Gu, they all disappeared directly.
Yu Gu was very satisfied with this.
As expected, his original plan was correct.
Since Mengyao Gu began working in the Imperial Palace, every time he visited, he could spend a long time with his little wife.
Yu Gu found this outcome very satisfactory.
For this reason, he had been visiting more frequently recently, wanting to be clingy with his little wife every day!
“Yu, why are you here again? If you come too often, be careful about how you explain yourself to the Empress!”
Although Mengyao Gu was happy about her little husband visiting, she felt she had to remind Yu Gu to be more careful.
Bai Qian was the Empress now, but her identity would change after some time.
She would be even more difficult to deal with then.
Judging by the recent strengthening of the guard, the time for Bai Qian to change her identity was not far off.
“It’s alright, I’ve observed these past few days that Bai Qian has resolved all the troublemakers in the palace… Not only does Bai Qian not blame me for visiting every day, but she even wants me to live directly in the Imperial Palace!”
“???”
“In these past few days, I’ve uncovered quite a few spies in the palace, greatly improving security.”
“You always have the most ridiculous theories!”
“It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat!”
Yu Gu gave a rogue smile, then hugged his little wife and found a scenic spot. In a small pavilion built over a pond, he prepared a good meal.
Just by looking at Yu Gu’s familiarity with the surrounding paths, one would think he considered the Imperial Palace his own home.
Working in the Imperial Palace these past few days had made Mengyao Gu so busy that even meal times became irregular.
If it weren’t for Yu Gu’s persistence in bringing her food, Mengyao Gu would have definitely missed her meals all the time.
Yu Gu had also persuaded Mengyao Gu about this.
The Imperial Palace was so vast, it was impossible for her to guard it all alone… Moreover, Bai Qian’s reason for summoning Mengyao Gu was not just to guard the Imperial Palace.
To be precise, at critical moments, she was to be like a sharp saber, directly cutting down any troublemakers who dared to cause trouble.
During this time, Yu Gu had also met Bai Qian.
After Mengyao Gu had subdued all the Imperial Guards in the Imperial Palace, Bai Qian’s face bloomed with joy, brighter than seeing the eunuch named Ye Li by her side. It seemed that Mengyao Gu’s actions were very much to her liking.
This meant that in the future, Mengyao Gu would need to lead the Imperial Guards to do something within the Imperial Palace…
Thinking of this possibility, Yu Gu was not idle. He captured the people in the palace who looked like spies and handed them over to Bai Qian’s people for processing.
Of course, Yu Gu did not guarantee that they were indeed spies.
Bai Qian’s people still needed to screen them carefully.
However, the people who were sent away seemed to have never returned…
“Alright! I’ll speak my true feelings… Seeing you go back and forth like this, my heart aches.”
“As expected of my wife, even your words are sweet, directly melting my heart.”
“… Corny!”
Mengyao Gu still underestimated Yu Gu’s thick skin. Although he was saying cheesy sweet words at the moment, Yu Gu’s expression was sincere, making Mengyao Gu blush.
She turned her head slightly to avoid Yu Gu’s gaze, wanting the blush on her face to disappear quickly.
Her little husband was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
Seeing his wife’s shy side, Yu Gu couldn’t help but want to take advantage of her. While Mengyao Gu wasn’t paying attention, he quickly stole a kiss.
When Mengyao Gu glared at him angrily, Yu Gu sat down next to her with a satisfied smile, looking like a dissolute young master, which made Mengyao Gu feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
However, she was not one to passively accept defeat.
Seeing that no one was around, Mengyao Gu directly raised her hand, pressed down on Yu Gu’s shoulder, and kissed him hard on the lips.
Today, she was determined to teach Yu Gu a lesson!
…
“Wife, I’m going back.”
“Mmm.”
“Aren’t you going to see me off?”
“No!”
“Oh dear, we’re an old married couple, don’t be shy!”
Just as Mengyao Gu was about to teach Yu Gu a lesson, she immediately surrendered after Yu Gu counterattacked.
After Yu Gu finished with satisfaction, Mengyao Gu was utterly dejected.
Her combat effectiveness was actually inferior to Yu Gu’s!!!
In that case, how could she possibly dominate her little husband in the future? It seemed that after her duty in the Imperial Palace ended, she needed to catch Yu Gu and practice well!
However, although she said she wouldn’t see him off, Mengyao Gu dutifully accompanied him as he left.
As expected, the truth of “true fragrance,” one of the three fundamental natures of humans, never disappointed.
As Yu Gu walked side by side with his wife, he felt a little reluctant. Although they would see each other again in the afternoon, he really didn’t want to part!
As for Mengyao Gu, after being intimate with Yu Gu, she was also very reluctant.
However, Mengyao Gu would not say it directly, otherwise, her little husband would become even more arrogant.
“Hey~ Who are you and how dare you enter the palace so casually!”
However, just as Yu Ggu and Mengyao Gu, this young couple, were being sweet and loving, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
The enchanting voice was enough to make one’s entire body go soft.
Yu Gu looked at the woman dressed as a noble consort in front of him and couldn’t help but frown, thinking about what was going on with this woman.
Although she spoke words of suspicion, her eyes were constantly sending alluring glances, coupled with the curve of her mouth…
Was she trying to frame someone?
