Chapter 161: No Need to Worry At All
Even if the woman in front of him was bewitching and enchanting, Gu Yu was not interested.
Not to mention, she was also a consort of the Emperor.
So, even as the woman’s eyes were about to blink dry, Gu Yu paid little attention to her. Instead, he gave his little wife a proud smile, silently indicating how popular he was.
Seeing this, Gu Mengyao felt a sense of amusement mixed with helplessness.
Gu Mengyao was not worried about her little husband being seduced by other women… After all, Gu Yu had encountered many women, but he had never shown much interest.
If it were two years ago, perhaps Gu Mengyao would have cared a little.
But now…
There was no need to worry at all.
Therefore, when she saw the consort in front of her trying to flirt with Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao did not become overly jealous. After simply bowing to the woman, she directly stated Gu Yu’s identity.
“Noble Consort Wen, this is my husband, Gu Yu. He is here to visit because he is worried about His Majesty’s health.”
“Oh? To visit His Majesty? Even I can’t see him, but he can?”
“His Majesty has ordered that he will not see anyone.”
“Is that so? Commander Gu, you wouldn’t be stealing and using your proximity to His Majesty to send your husband over, would you!”
“…”
Even though Gu Mengyao did not want to get too involved with the other party, the woman referred to as Noble Consort Wen did not think the same.
Although she had a gentle smile on her face, her words were relentlessly pressing.
This made Gu Mengyao frown slightly, wondering if this Wen Lanruo was deliberately looking for trouble.
Otherwise, why was she acting so strangely today, completely different from usual?
Although Gu Mengyao believed that her husband could not be easily seduced, she could not fake a smile when faced with Wen Lanruo, who was openly trying to seduce Gu Yu. Therefore, when she heard what the other party said, her expression immediately turned grim.
Wen Lanruo was implying that she was abusing her authority?
Heh, truly judging others by one’s own small-mindedness.
Someone like this should be retorted once, so they would know their place!
“His Majesty isn’t some popular celebrity. Why would you send me over? Are you into male relationships? Tsk, I didn’t expect your tastes to be so strange. You actually like watching two men doing that. You’re a pervert, otherwise, how could your thoughts be so dirty!”
Seeing his wife angry, Gu Yu did not indulge this noble consort. He directly blurted out his words of reprimand.
When she saw that Gu Yu clearly had no interest in her, Wen Lanruo gritted her teeth in frustration, thinking that Gu Yu was only good-looking and was so arrogant, a waste of a handsome appearance.
And this Gu Mengyao, just a mere Imperial Guard commander, dared to give her, a noble consort, a cold shoulder. How arrogant!
“Bold! I am a noble consort in the palace, and you are just civilians! How dare you slander me here? I will definitely send you to prison afterwards to suffer physical pain.”
“You want to lay hands on my husband? If you have the ability, then come!”
Afterwards, when Wen Lanruo threatened to send Gu Yu to prison, Gu Mengyao immediately refused to stand for it.
She was still standing right here!
How dare she threaten her little husband like this? This woman was tired of living!
“To have people like you in the palace is truly undisciplined. I will find someone to lock you up in the prison right away! Guards, quickly tie these two down!”
As Wen Lanruo shouted loudly, several Imperial Guards indeed appeared and quickly rushed over.
When she saw people coming, Wen Lanruo’s expression immediately turned smug… No matter how much of a fuss Gu Mengyao had been making recently, she was just a watchdog.
She was not on the same level as Noble Consort Wen.
It was also her impatience today; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had to shout directly.
If it weren’t for Gu Yu, she wouldn’t have come here to upset herself!
However, seeing Gu Yu’s attitude, it was clear that cooperation was impossible.
“Ah, the weather is so good today. It’s suitable for going home and airing the quilts.”
“Eh? What’s that rabbit over there? It looks very suspicious, I need to go and check it out.”
“I… I’m hungry, I need to go eat.”
However, the Imperial Guards came and went in a hurry.
After casually making a few insincere excuses, the Imperial Guards did not linger and quickly slipped away along the path they came from, for fear of being implicated if they were too late.
Commander Gu’s expression had already turned that way. Who would dare to get themselves into trouble!
Even though Wen Lanruo was a noble consort, during the Emperor’s critical illness, she did not have much authority to arbitrarily deploy the Imperial Guards like them.
Therefore, after Gu Mengyao became the leader of the Imperial Guards in the palace, no one dared to challenge the leader’s authority at this time.
When Wen Lanruo saw the Imperial Guards quickly leave, the smile on her lips froze. She couldn’t understand what had happened to make these Imperial Guards change so much!
Clearly, before, when they saw her, they were all fawning and obsequious, but why had everything changed as soon as Gu Mengyao arrived!
“Don’t look, they’re all gone! However, you can see what this thing is.”
“Iron Scroll, written decree…”
“That’s right. Since you know what this is, why are you still standing there? Kneel and pay your respects!”
“…”
Watching Wen Lanruo’s series of actions, Gu Yu felt as if he were watching a clown perform, and found it quite amusing.
Moreover, her utterly depressed expression now made him find it even more interesting!
When the iron scroll was revealed, even if Wen Lanruo was unwilling, she had to kneel and pay her respects.
It was this kneeling that immediately sobered her up, making her realize that she was no match for Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao.
The best course of action now was to flee quickly.
So as not to delay the subsequent plan.
“Hmph, you win! Once the Emperor recovers, I will definitely make you pay!”
Since they were still in the Imperial Palace at the moment, Gu Yu did not make things too difficult for Wen Lanruo. After all, someone would surely secretly inform Bai Qian of what happened today.
Tsk, he didn’t even need to lift a finger.
Bai Qian, the master of the Imperial Palace, would definitely deal with Wen Lanruo.
Therefore, even though Wen Lanruo uttered threats before leaving, Gu Yu did not take it to heart. Instead, he continued to walk out of the palace with his wife, trying to stay for as long as possible.
“Ah Yu, I have also met Wen Lanruo before. She seemed like a normal person, what’s wrong with her today?”
“What else? It’s been a long time since she’s seen the Emperor, she’s anxious! Within three days, Bai Qian will definitely catch a group of rats, and then she’ll ask you to help.”
Listening to Gu Mengyao’s confusion, Gu Yu smiled slightly and then directly stated his speculation.
This Noble Consort Wen should be a member of the Royal Support Squad.
Although she was good-looking, her brain was not doing well. She was just a decorated pillow.
Not worth fearing.
