Chapter 162: Something’s a Little Off!
Although Gu Yu had only a brief encounter with Lanruo Wen, her words and frequent glances made it clear to him what her intentions were.
It should be said that the Royal Support Squad wanted to do something.
However, upon learning of their intentions, Gu Yu shook his head speechlessly, feeling that they were asking for trouble.
No wonder Li Wang didn’t want to stay there anymore.
Within these three days, to use the airhead Lanruo Wen to approach the Emperor, if someone else were to act, Gu Yu felt that the chance of success would be greater.
Although he didn’t know whether the Royal Support Squad wanted to gather information or to make a move on the “critically ill” Emperor, this action would absolutely result in a complete loss for them.
Gu Yu didn’t even need to remind Bai Qian. Judging by Lanruo Wen’s provocative behavior towards Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, she had already landed on Bai Qian’s blacklist.
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu lay on the soft bed, waiting for dinner. When it was almost time, he would go to deliver food to Gu Mengyao again.
Although Bai Qian had no objections to Gu Yu’s frequent comings and goings to the Imperial Palace, Gu Mengyao disliked Gu Yu coming over here… She was probably still worried that Bai Qian would make a move on him, so she always prevented Gu Yu from meeting Bai Qian.
Gu Yu also knew the reason for Gu Mengyao’s actions.
It was all due to his true identity being revealed… After learning that Gu Yu was of royal bloodline, Gu Mengyao was very worried that Bai Qian would directly try to kill Gu Yu upon hearing this news.
In response, Gu Yu felt that his little wife was thinking too much.
He and Bai Qian had a cooperative relationship. From this point of view, even if Bai Qian wanted to make a move, she would have to think carefully beforehand.
Moreover, Gu Yu was not one to just sit and wait for death.
If Bai Qian truly intended to make a move on him, then she had better pray it was successful on the first try.
Otherwise, it would be his turn to fight back.
However, if it really came to that point, Gu Yu felt that they would need to move.
At that time, Lifeng Kingdom would no longer be suitable for residence.
Just the fact that a group of people were clamoring for him to become the Emperor of Lifeng Kingdom made Gu Yu feel exasperated, not knowing how to tell them… He absolutely did not want to be Emperor, so they should stop bothering him.
Thinking about all the future possibilities, Gu Yu was very helpless. He sincerely hoped that Bai Qian could firmly ascend the throne.
If that were the case, everything would be resolved.
However, thinking of this, Gu Yu always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
What was it…
Right!
The Witch Priest, this guy hasn’t appeared for a long time, which is a little unusual!
Previously, he couldn’t wait to conquer Lifeng Kingdom. Not only did he put effort into war strategies, but even during the truce, he would secretly send people to assassinate the Gu family.
How could such a restless person be so honest?
Furthermore, the medicine that killed the Emperor was obtained from the Witch Priest by the Wang Clan.
Therefore, the Witch Priest should know that the Emperor of Lifeng Kingdom was already dead, but he hadn’t taken any action.
Could it be… the Witch Priest was waiting for something?
Based on his experience in dealing with the Witch Priest, Gu Yu did not believe the Witch Priest to be a straightforward person who would wait until Lifeng Kingdom was stable before attacking.
The reason for his current delay in extending his evil hand must be related to the recent changes in Lifeng Kingdom… Wait, could this Witch Priest also be a reborn person!
Like Bai Qian, someone who had memories from a previous life.
And, did he have some kind of relationship with Bai Qian, or was he someone who had eyes for Bai Qian…
Thinking about this, Gu Yu’s expression immediately turned very unpleasant… He originally thought he was the only one who had transmigrated and could live a leisurely life in Lifeng Kingdom, spending his life comfortably.
But, thinking about it now, he was too naive.
Although there were no other transmigrators, there were two reborn people. Including the Witch Priest, there were now three.
Silently extending three fingers before his eyes, Gu Yu sighed helplessly, thinking that fate was sincerely not letting him have a comfortable life!
However, fortunately, Bai Qian and Li Ye were considered allies, and only the Witch Priest was an enemy.
Under these circumstances, he could also breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he was not being chased by three reborn individuals, which was truly a blessing!
“Brother-in-law, it’s already this late, why aren’t you going to the Imperial Palace yet!”
“Just resting for a bit, my head hurts a little.”
“Is that so! Then lend me the token for a moment, I want to go to the Imperial Palace to see my sister.”
Just as Gu Yu was contemplating the complex relationships, with a creak, the door opened, and Gu Qingheng’s voice rang out.
As Gu Yu quickly retracted his three fingers, Gu Qingheng approached him, wearing a fawning smile as if asking for a favor. Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking that his younger brother-in-law was up to his tricks again.
Why go to the Imperial Palace for no reason? That place was not a good place.
In fact, it might become a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s den recently.
“You’re always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. The Iron Scroll has my name on it, how can I lend it out carelessly.”
“I’ll just use it for a moment, I won’t lose it!”
Gu Qingheng’s plan to borrow the Iron Scroll was very detailed.
This time, while visiting his sister in the Imperial Palace, he also wanted to see the situation inside and satisfy his curiosity!
No longer feeling restless!
“You still want to lose it… It’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you, but the situation is unstable now. Many people who want to find fault with me are eager to make a move. For the plan ahead, my family and I cannot afford any accidents.”
“Is it that serious? But, it looks like everything is fine outside!”
“You’re still too young. It’s not long before Bai Qian ascends the throne. It’s best to lie low for a while!”
“What, that soon? Then I won’t go to the Imperial Palace. If I lose my life again, Sister Lian will become a widow.”
“…”
However, after hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, Gu Qingheng did not insist stubbornly.
He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not. Going to the Imperial Palace was just to satisfy his curiosity, not a reason he had to go.
So, upon hearing that Bai Qian’s ascension to the throne was imminent, he immediately shook his head at Gu Yu, indicating that he no longer wanted to go to the Imperial Palace.
Even if his curiosity was strong, his life was more important.
And when Gu Yu heard his younger brother-in-law’s words, he felt a mix of wanting to cry and laugh.
Gu Qingheng was truly a comical figure!
“By the way, since the time is almost here, wouldn’t it be very dangerous for my sister to stay in the Imperial Palace!!!”
“Don’t worry, your sister is fine.”
Thinking that his sister was still working in the Imperial Palace, Gu Qingheng immediately spoke, wondering if he should ask his sister to come back early???
However, after thinking this, Gu Qingheng himself shook his head.
Whether his sister’s promotion would happen or not depended on this ascension of Empress Bai Qian!
