Chapter 193: He’s not greedy for wealth!
When the song and dance performance ended, Bai Qian said a few words, and this birthday celebration was considered over.
Afterwards, the ministers returned to their respective homes.
However, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao could not leave yet.
“Empress, why did you suddenly make such a decision…”
“This is also out of desperation. The two of you are the people I trust the most! I hope you won’t disappoint me, you must get that thing back.”
At this moment, listening to Bai Qian’s words, Gu Yu didn’t know what to say.
The mission Bai Qian suddenly assigned directly disrupted Gu Yu’s plan to go home and lie down.
Thinking of the humid and hot environment of the Southern Border, with its abundant vegetation and insects, immediately made Gu Yu a hundred and eighty percent unwilling. He was thinking about how to refuse.
Just looking at this uncomfortable journey made Gu Yu completely lose the desire to complete the mission.
So, it’s better to find someone else!
Even if that thing was very important, it was Bai Qian’s own headache. Who told the previous emperor to be such a good-for-nothing and let his male consort steal the Imperial Seal to the Southern Border.
Moreover, what time is it now? They just discovered the disappearance of the Imperial Seal… I have to say, Bai Qian is really too careless!
Shouldn’t such things be confirmed from the beginning?
Didn’t they use the Imperial Seal to review memorials every day???
“It’s really unexpected that such a thing would happen. After taking over the throne, I only glanced at the Imperial Seal a few times before putting it in a secret place to prevent theft… but I didn’t expect that the Imperial Seal was replaced from the very beginning!”
“Empress, the memorials you review every day…”
“You don’t know this. There is another seal for reviewing memorials. The Imperial Seal is usually only used for important matters!”
“…”
After listening to Bai Qian’s words, Gu Yu was speechless.
No matter what, the Imperial Seal was lost now.
According to Gu Yu’s meaning, they should just make a new one… However, seeing Bai Qian’s anxious look, Gu Yu didn’t dare to be clever at this time.
But, he always felt that the news of the Imperial Seal being in the Southern Border gave off a sense of conspiracy.
Regardless of whether the news was true or false, the mere fact of why it reached Bai Qian’s ears was enough to make people suspicious!
However, the situation was urgent.
Even if it was a clear trap, or if the Imperial Seal was not in the Southern Border, Bai Qian had to take action to avoid missing the real Imperial Seal.
Gu Yu agreed with Bai Qian’s decision to send people there from the bottom of his heart.
However, the prerequisite was that the person sent was not him!!!
“Empress, besides my medical skills, I have nothing else to offer, and my wife is even weaker recently…”
Seeing Bai Qian waiting for an answer, Gu Yu pretended to be conflicted as he spoke, but he actually wanted to refuse.
Even if Bai Qian made things difficult for him in the future, he wouldn’t go to the Southern Border, a place full of insects!
At worst, he would continue to live in Yang Family Village and not come to the capital.
Living a secluded life with his little wife also had a unique leisurely charm in his heart.
In short, even if he jumped off the building, was made difficult by the Empress, or never came to the capital, Gu Yu would not go to the Southern Border to feed the insects!
“Gu Aiqing, you don’t need to be so humble. This trip to the Southern Border will be arduous and dangerous… Therefore, I will naturally not be stingy! Today’s birthday gifts, except for the Longevity Pill, are all your rewards.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s outwardly respectful but inwardly resistant expression, Bai Qian did not seem too anxious.
She smiled slightly, and the words that came out of her mouth immediately changed Gu Yu’s expression.
It could be said that Gu Yu was a complex person, his heart seemed to hide an abyss, and no one could ever see through him.
However, it could also be said that he was very simple and easy to understand.
In short, he was contradictory and not suitable for deep interpretation.
However, knowing that he liked silver and jewelry was enough for now.
“Since Empress values me so much, then this humble subject will not refuse any further. This trip to the Southern Border, I will carefully and diligently search for the Imperial Seal!”
At this moment, Gu Yu had already forgotten what he had just said, leaving only one sentence.
“So fragrant.”
Besides the Longevity Pill he gave, Bai Qian also received many good things.
Now, with Bai Qian using these good things as bait, Gu Yu had no choice but to take the hook.
After all, it’s better to have good things that come for free than not to have them.
It’s just a trip to the Southern Border. Even if the Imperial Seal is not found in the end, it has nothing to do with him, and these good things are still his.
So, why not do it!
Gu Mengyao, who was standing beside him, heard Gu Yu say this and couldn’t help but shake her head with a wry smile, thinking that her little husband’s willpower was too weak at this time.
After Gu Yu directly agreed to Bai Qian, Bai Qian didn’t say anything more. Instead, she asked Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao to go home and prepare, as they would be leaving in two days.
This time, the recovery of the Imperial Seal was quite urgent. Although she really wanted Gu Yu to leave immediately, they were not prepared.
Bai Qian also knew that haste makes waste, so she did not rush them.
She hoped to have good news upon arrival in the Southern Border.
…
“A’yu, are we really going to the Southern Border?”
“Well, so many treasures, it’s better to have them than not! Wife, are you afraid of insects? I have plenty of insect repellent medicine here.”
“Don’t forget, I used to hunt, so I’m not afraid of insects! It’s just that your tone of speech changes so quickly. You were so defiant just now, but you changed so quickly.”
“No choice, a lot of treasures made me yield.”
After leaving the Imperial Palace and sitting in the carriage going home, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Later, after hearing Gu Yu’s reply, Gu Mengyao didn’t know what to say.
Her little husband was too honest.
“Mengyao, don’t think too much. Even if I didn’t agree just now, Bai Qian would definitely find other ways to force me to agree… With benefits, why look for trouble!”
Seeing the wry smile in his little wife’s eyes, Gu Yu quickly explained.
Lest she be misunderstood, that would not be good.
He wasn’t greedy for money!
Really not.
Well, maybe a little bit…
“This trip to the Southern Border must be extremely dangerous. Will the two of us go?”
“Of course, even if Qingheng has some martial arts skills, he can’t go with us…”
When talking about the upcoming journey to the Southern Border, Gu Yu immediately excluded Gu Qingheng.
He always felt that bringing Gu Qingheng would be like bringing a 100,000-watt light bulb.
So, it’s better to let Gu Qingheng read at home obediently… or, he could ask Empress Bai Qian to let Gu Qingheng enter the alliance’s intelligence organization.
Since Bai Qian needed his help now, she probably wouldn’t refuse this request.
“What, you’re going to the Southern Border? Great, I’ll go with you.”
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage.
As the curtain was lifted, Zhou Yi, dressed in green, said with a smile.
The Battle for the Imperial Seal
