Chapter 186 – Not a Small Skill!
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Bai Qian did not ask them to go back to find those ministers again, but simply waved them away.
Gu Yu’s help made Bai Qian feel very relieved.
At least, Gu Yu never disappointed her.
She wondered how many benefits it would take to satisfy Gu Yu for this act of assistance.
If Gu Yu was willing to help, Bai Qian would never believe it even if she were beaten to death.
It was only when Gu Mengyao said so that Bai Qian felt it was normal.
And for Gu Yu, who expected rewards for his actions, if the benefits this time were not enough, he would dare to go on strike next time.
What should she give him!
According to the information Bai Qian had already obtained, Gu Yu was only interested in silver, apart from protecting his wife.
It seemed there were still quite a lot of gold bars in the National Treasury…
“Your Highness, when Gu Yu was dealing with those ministers, he just shook a bell and froze them. It’s really strange.”
Just as Bai Qian was thinking about giving the gold bars from the National Treasury to Gu Yu, Bai Yi, who was still waiting nearby, suddenly spoke up, revealing a doubt that even he couldn’t understand.
Since the subordinates sent to deal with the ministers returned, Bai Yi was the first person to know the whole story.
However, he didn’t know Gu Yu too well.
Hearing that he possessed such amazing abilities made Bai Yi very surprised.
He even wondered if Gu Yu had some ulterior motive for voluntarily offering his help.
“It’s okay. There are many strange things about Gu Yu, and this is not one more. As long as he can get the job done, that’s all that matters.”
Bai Qian did not take Bai Yi’s conspiratorial thoughts to heart.
She had been dealing with Gu Yu for a long time, so she knew that some of the things that happened to Gu Yu were beyond ordinary people’s understanding.
Although Bai Qian was very curious about this, she also knew that Gu Yu would not let others know.
Just as she had secrets she didn’t want others to know, if anyone dared to inquire, they would end up as a cold corpse.
Therefore, Bai Qian did not pursue the matter of Gu Yu’s bell too much, but focused on preparing for the morning court tomorrow.
After Gu Yu’s intervention, Bai Qian felt even more that she could not fail!
As soon as tomorrow is over, she will immediately issue a notice to everyone in Linfeng Kingdom.
The throne, she wanted it!
Although it was only regency, who didn’t know… she, Bai Qian, wanted to ascend to the throne and manage everything in Linfeng Kingdom.
Bai Qian felt very good about this feeling of holding power.
…
After a busy day, the night followed.
The stars were dotted, emitting a faint light, illuminating the earth.
And as the sky gradually brightened, outside the main hall, the ministers arrived one by one.
They did not rush in, but gathered together, whispering and discussing something.
From time to time, someone rolled up their sleeves, causing others to widen their eyes in surprise. As soon as they reacted, they quickly raised their hands to cover their mouths.
As if performing a silent play, Gu Mengyao, who was leading her subordinates on patrol, couldn’t help but have a flash of doubt in her eyes, wondering what had happened.
Why were these ministers discussing outside instead of going inside?
Gu Mengyao knew what had happened in the hall earlier, but she could not eliminate these ministers’ hatred for her father.
Even Gu Mengyao did not expect that her father would become the first person to support Empress Bai Qian.
Now, only when Empress Bai Qian ascended to the throne could the current predicament be resolved.
And her father would also have the opportunity for promotion.
Of course, if Empress Bai Qian failed, everyone in the Gu family would suffer.
Therefore, even for the sake of her own family, Gu Mengyao hoped that Empress Bai Qian would successfully ascend to the throne.
And after the court dispersed that day, when Gu Mengyao caught up with Gu Qing, wanting to comfort her father, Gu Qing’s state was very good, and he was not affected by being ostracized by his colleagues.
When asked for the reason, it turned out that the Empress had killed quite a few ministers in the hall, and she still looked calm.
It was as if she was saying, “Feel free to die, and if I blink, you’re amazing.”
Finally, it also made those ministers who were still hesitating whether to crash or not finally make up their minds.
Don’t crash.
Crashing is also meaningless.
Bai Qian didn’t care about their lives at all, so even if some died in the hall today, she wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt.
She was completely different from an ordinary woman!
Such an imposing demeanor made Gu Qing understand why his daughter and son-in-law both supported Bai Qian.
Bai Qian was not an ordinary woman.
Compared to the royal bloodline like Zhou Li, Bai Qian was stronger… especially since he had learned from Gu Yu that Bai Qian had been handling the memorials recently.
This further reassured Gu Qing.
The next step was to let Bai Qian regent and gain complete control of Linfeng Kingdom.
It had to be said that Gu Yu’s early brainwashing was very successful. After the initial anger and confusion, Gu Qing’s thoughts gradually became clearer, and he understood the pros and cons.
Moreover, his daughter and son-in-law both supported the Empress.
There seemed to be no other path to choose… Since that was the case, they might as well move forward.
The Bai family, like those soft-legged shrimps, though Bai Qian’s maternal family, were not very courageous, which made Gu Qing despise them greatly.
“Everyone, since Heaven has already sent a warning, we cannot disobey!”
“Exactly, I don’t want to face my ancestors in shame in the afterlife a hundred years from now.”
“It’s the general trend!”
“If anyone has different ideas, don’t involve me! At night, when I sleep, I look at the words on my arm and am so scared that I can’t sleep.”
“Me too! If we still disagree with the Empress’s regency this time, who knows if words will appear elsewhere on our bodies.”
“In short, even for our own sake, we can’t go against the Empress! She has Heaven on her side, and we are no match for her.”
After the many ministers had consulted, they no longer waited outside the hall. They steadied their emotions and immediately stepped towards the hall.
When they saw Gu Qing, who had already entered the hall, the ministers pretended that nothing had happened before and directly walked up to Gu Qing to chat with him.
Gu Qing was very confused by their sudden change, but he did not show it at this time, only smiling and agreeing.
Since the other party wanted to seek peace, Gu Qing would not be petty and demand too much.
After all, they would meet each other again, so there was no need to make things too awkward.
He just didn’t know what these people were thinking…
If they still wanted to oppose Empress Bai Qian, they would have no good consequences.
“Empress is arriving!”
“Welcome, Empress.”
When Bai Qian appeared, she looked at the ministers standing below. They were no longer arrogant as before, but showed a respectful attitude, which made her raise her eyebrows in surprise.
Gu Yu, not a small skill!
