Chapter 166: Following Commander Gu Means Getting Meat to Eat!!!
After someone sneaked into the Imperial Palace, Mengyao Gu exposed quite a few traitors and then threw them all into prison.
Although it had been calm and peaceful these past few days, the frequency of patrols in the palace had increased.
The Imperial Guards were now in groups of four, their order randomly shuffled and their teams changed irregularly.
With such an arrangement, the traitors’ chances of causing further trouble were also reduced because no one knew when Mengyao Gu would change the teams again…
However, this arrangement also placed a heavier burden on the Imperial Guards.
They had no time to rest, and the constant tension of being mentally alert every day quickly drained their energy.
If it were someone else, even if it were a guard commander appointed by the Emperor, the Imperial Guards would have been full of resentment, thinking of pulling some tricks behind their backs to vent their frustrations.
But with Mengyao Gu, not only did none of them dare to pull any tricks, but they didn’t even dare to have the thought.
It wasn’t just because Mengyao Gu’s martial arts were powerful, but also because she treated them very well and impartially taught them martial arts.
In this short period, their martial arts level had ‘whooshed’ upwards.
Moreover, it wasn’t just that; the pastries brought by Commander Gu’s husband were also very delicious.
Eating one every day not only eliminated fatigue but also made running around the Imperial Palace a few hundred times no problem!
Therefore, after the energy cookies brought by Gu Yu were distributed among the Imperial Guards, they respected Mengyao Gu more and more, wishing they could just call her Laoda and let them be her subordinates!
They even felt that working in the Imperial Palace wasn’t so bad.
Following Commander Gu meant getting meat to eat!!!
Mengyao Gu was very satisfied with the recent performance of the Imperial Guards, which was enough to make up for the cookies her little husband brought.
Originally, Gu Yu only planned to make energy cookies for Mengyao Gu alone to relieve her fatigue.
However, after arriving at the Imperial Palace and seeing a group of listless Imperial Guards, he was immediately startled.
He remembered that on the first day he accompanied Mengyao Gu, these Imperial Guards were still very spirited young men. How could they have become like this after not seeing them for a while!
Only after Mengyao Gu said that the workload had recently increased did Gu Yu understand the reason.
These Imperial Guards, like Mengyao Gu, could not get enough rest, so their condition was naturally very poor.
For this reason, Gu Yu specially provided energy cookies.
Unlike the cookies meticulously made for Mengyao Gu, these energy cookies were made by the Gu Residence chefs. There were no special requirements, and as long as Space Spring Water was added, they could be made casually.
It was enough to restore the energy of the Imperial Guards.
It wasn’t that Gu Yu suddenly became enthusiastic. It was just that if these Imperial Guards were in poor condition, it would ultimately be his little wife who would suffer.
Therefore, in order to allow Mengyao Gu to have soldiers to command, even contributing some Space Spring Water was not a problem.
If others knew about Space Spring Water, they would definitely regard it as divine water and would be so grateful that they would almost cry after drinking a sip.
However, for Gu Yu, it was spring water produced by his own space.
It was inexhaustible and endless.
“Mengyao, don’t push yourself too hard! In my opinion, Bai Qian already has a plan.”
“Even if Empress has a plan, I cannot slack off. This is a matter of duty.”
When Gu Yu came to the Imperial Palace to visit Mengyao Gu, he wanted to persuade her not to be so serious. The alliance led by Bai Qian had already captured the Royal Support Squad one by one.
Afterwards, no one should be able to threaten Bai Qian.
He didn’t know what Bai Qian would do next.
It would be best if she quickly ascended the throne and became the empress. That way, Mengyao Gu could go home sooner.
Gu Yu didn’t care what Linfeng Kingdom would become under Bai Qian’s leadership. Anyway, ever since the Emperor ‘fell gravely ill,’ all the memorials submitted had been handled by Bai Qian alone.
There were no major issues, and she even handled them quite well.
“Alright, but you have to take care of yourself too. If you get too tired, I’ll worry about you!”
“You’re so sweet-mouthed!”
Listening to Gu Yu’s words, Mengyao Gu couldn’t hide the smile on her lips, thinking that her little husband was becoming more and more eloquent!
If this continues, what will happen in the future?
She was no match for him anymore.
“That’s only for you. Other women don’t even catch my eye! After all, no one is as good as my wife…”
“Commander Gu, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Why are you lazing around here!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to say a few more words to coax his little wife, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, making Gu Yu frown. He wondered who dared to interrupt their intimacy!
Didn’t they see that he was busy here?
“Eunuch Mu, what happened?”
“Empress has summoned you, saying she has something to instruct you. And Lord Gu, you should come along as well!”
Unlike the displeased Gu Yu, upon hearing the voice, Mengyao Gu immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
She saw a fat and short eunuch shouting loudly while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, looking very uncomfortable.
When Mengyao Gu and Gu Yu heard that Bai Qian had summoned them, they subconsciously glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of understanding in each other’s eyes.
Finally, what was supposed to come was coming…
Led by the eunuch, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu didn’t delay, quickly following behind the eunuch.
When they reached Bai Qian’s location, the fat eunuch tactfully retreated, leaving only Gu Yu and his wife, who were led by a maid, to approach Bai Qian.
Perhaps it was because the Emperor had kicked the bucket that Bai Qian was extremely happy… Recently, she had become even more beautiful than before. Even Gu Yu, who was not easily tempted by beauty, couldn’t help but look a few more times.
It wasn’t a lustful stare, but more like looking at a work of art.
“I knew you would be in the palace, Gu Yu… I imagine you have already guessed why I called you both here.”
“Please, Empress, elaborate a little.”
“Hmph, stop playing dumb! Seven days from now, I will announce the news of the Emperor’s death.”
In front of Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu, Bai Qian didn’t beat around the bush but directly revealed her purpose.
The Gu family would be her trusted confidants from now on.
There was no need to worry about anything else.
“Seven days…”
“What, is that too early?”
“No, I thought you would announce it tomorrow!”
“……”
Hearing Gu Yu’s impatient words, Bai Qian shook her head helplessly.
Announcing it tomorrow would be too rushed.
Even seven days, Bai Qian wasn’t sure if it would be enough.
However, after those who opposed her were dealt with, there shouldn’t be any major mistakes.
She absolutely could not afford any accidents when ascending the throne this time.
She didn’t want to experience again… the various troublesome issues she encountered in her previous life after forcefully ascending the throne.
