Chapter 165: Each one is more perverted than the last
Happy times always pass by very quickly.
After Gu Mengyao’s vacation ended, she had to return to the Imperial Palace to continue protecting Bai Qian’s safety.
This made Gu Yu very helpless, but he did not stop her obstinately, only giving Gu Mengyao all the cookies he had made.
Even if Gu Mengyao stayed up for several days and nights, it would be nothing with the efficacy of the energy cookies.
However, one should not give up on sleeping and resting just because of the efficacy of the energy cookies.
After Gu Yu’s long and nagging instructions, Gu Mengyao, with a wry smile from the Gu Residence’s servants holding back their laughter, mounted her horse and quickly headed towards the Imperial Palace.
As Gu Yu watched his little wife leave, his heart was filled with reluctance, causing him to stand on the spot sadly for a long time without moving.
Finally, he was persuaded to go inside by the Gu Residence’s servants.
“Alas, Miss has been too busy lately and hasn’t had time to come home. Not only is the son-in-law sad… the day before yesterday, I even saw the Master secretly wiping tears! I don’t know when Miss will finish her duty at the Imperial Palace.”
“After all, it’s the Emperor’s decree, and it also shows the Emperor’s importance of Miss’s abilities! This is a good thing. Perhaps when Miss returns, her official position will be promoted by several levels!”
“It’s nothing. Isn’t the Master always like that? Before, when Miss and the son-in-law were not here, the Master would cry whenever he drank.”
“Shush, don’t say that. Be careful, or you’ll be in trouble if the Master hears you!”
“Haha, the Master isn’t here, is he!”
“I hope the Emperor’s illness gets better soon. If that happens, everything will be resolved.”
Watching the dejected Gu Yu leave, the Gu Residence’s servants marveled, never expecting their son-in-law to be such a devoted lover. They really couldn’t tell before.
After all, Gu Yu always had a carefree demeanor, as if he didn’t care about anything.
His appearance of having no desires made the Gu Residence’s servants think he was amazing… At Gu Yu’s age, most people were restless, but his composure was truly rare.
However, it seems now… whenever it concerns Miss, the son-in-law is like a changed person!
Being so praised by everyone, Gu Yu naturally became a topic of conversation because he was remarkable at such a young age and had a fully filled wife-loving attribute.
No one else had such influence.
Not to mention Gu Yu’s achievements, his excellent medical skills alone had spread throughout the entire capital.
Now, when they go out, people know they are servants of the Gu Residence and cast envious glances at them. It felt so great!
Some people even secretly slipped money to them, wanting to inquire about Gu Yu’s news, but the Gu Residence’s servants were not tempted by petty profits and firmly refused.
Although silver is good, if they were found out later, they would definitely be kicked out of the residence.
Moreover, the Gu Residence paid generously, so working here was simply too fortunate!
Only a fool would want to run away!
Speaking of fools, a while ago, there was a little servant who followed the Master and quit his job, becoming a fool in everyone’s mouths.
I don’t know if he regrets it.
…
Xu Hong, now deeply regrets it.
Why did he risk everything, staking his life on this operation?
Now it’s good.
Everything is over.
Sighing, Xu Hong looked up at the dark walls around him, surprised that the Imperial Palace had such a dungeon.
Empress Bai Qian is not simple!
Looking at the flickering torch, which provided a dim light, the pained expression on Xu Hong’s face intensified.
If it were in the past, as a servant, he would have secretly met with a little maid from the mansion after Gu Qing fell asleep.
How could he be waiting for the end of his life in such a foul-smelling dungeon?
If he had known that this operation would be so dangerous in advance, Xu Hong would never have taken the risk.
He even suspected that other people in the organization wanted to get rid of him through this opportunity.
“Come out! Someone from above is here to interrogate you, so behave yourself!”
Just as Xu Hong was lost in thought, a sound of footsteps suddenly echoed, followed by the warden’s cursing as he walked over, a set of keys jingling in his hand, making Xu Hong’s mind start to stir.
However, seeing the other party’s sturdy build and bulging muscles, Xu Hong eventually gave up the idea of escaping.
Most members of the organization who searched for royal bloodlines were not martial artists.
This time, in order to hold the Emperor hostage and release Zhou Li from prison, they had made extensive preparations, even hiring assassins from the mysterious organization—the Alliance—to ensure the success of this operation.
However, the outcome was not as they had expected.
They were surrounded by the Imperial Guards before they could even see the Emperor’s face.
And those Alliance assassins lacked professionalism and directly abandoned them and fled at the critical moment, leaving them to face the cold gleam of blades. For the sake of their lives, they could only shout surrender.
Fortunately, their lives were saved.
But how long they could be saved was unknown.
The creaking sound of the cell door opening interrupted Xu Hong’s thoughts. Before he could react, he was roughly taken out of the cell by the jailers and brought to a brightly lit place.
Forcibly pushed into a chair, Xu Hong felt uneasy, not knowing what torture he would face next.
“What’s your name.”
Afterward, when an eunuch appeared, the jailers immediately took a deep breath, their expressions becoming serious.
Seeing this change, Xu Hong inwardly thought something was bad, and he was definitely finished this time.
He had heard before that the eunuchs in the palace were more perverted than each other.
He didn’t know what kind of torture they would use on him…
“Xu Hong.”
“What was the purpose of secretly infiltrating the Imperial Palace this time?”
“To hold the Emperor hostage and, by doing so, release Zhou Li, who was imprisoned.”
“Zhou Li? Is he the head of the Zhou family?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, you can go now.”
However, what Xu Hong did not expect was that… after a series of questions, the eunuch did not do anything to him. Instead, he nodded at the jailers standing around, and someone stepped forward to unlock his shackles.
This unexpected turn of events left Xu Hong stunned on the spot.
They didn’t torture him?
They just asked a few questions and let him go?
In Xu Hong’s despair, he had not concealed anything when answering. However, the answers to these questions were not important.
They didn’t even ask where the organization was or who was in it, and they just let him go.
When Xu Hong stood outside the Imperial Palace, looking at his companions who were also arrested, their faces showed expressions of incomprehension. Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
He suspected that they wanted to use them as bait to find the organization’s location and capture them all at once.
For the sake of his life, he couldn’t go back!
