The palace banquet on New Year's Eve broke up unhappy, and Liu Ruyi was given to death in the end.
When she was dragged out by the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, she was still unconscious. I don't know if she woke up when the knife was resting on her neck.
If she didn't wake up, it was her luck.
Yu Fu sat on the carriage back home, suddenly trembling all over.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Gu Shubai sat with him in the carriage, her voice was muffled, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm a little cold."
She was obviously afraid, but she still pretended not to be afraid.
Not to mention Yufu, how many courtiers in the palace today are not afraid
Back then when everyone elected the second prince as the throne, how could anyone know that the one sitting on the Golden Dragon Throne today would be so ruthless, arrogant and domineering.
On New Year's Eve, the palace city was blood-stained, and everyone had a little fear in their hearts.
But he didn't expose it, and hugged her tightly in his arms, "It's windy tonight, so it won't be cold when I go back home. Is this better?"
Yu Fu snuggled into his arms, hooking the seven-color jade ring with his fingers, "Big brother, you said that each of us has a seven-color gemstone, so you will triumph no matter where you go?"
"probably."
Gu Shubai didn't believe in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods, let alone just a lump of stone, if he had it he would be able to triumph, so what is the fight between soldiers on the battlefield
But he couldn't bear to speak out, so he could only vaguely pass.
Yu Fu put the things in his purse, "Gu's army is invincible on the battlefield, but the wind is blowing around the palace city, can we still stop it?"
…
"General! Let us go in!"
The gate of Guhou's Mansion was shot loudly, and the soldiers blocked it outside the mansion, in a dilemma.
Qi Zhou rushed out immediately, "What's going on?"
Only after he saw it did he realize why the soldiers were in a dilemma. It was none other than Lao Jin, Yan Huashi and other generals who came.
"Why are you here, generals? Tonight is New Year's Eve..."
"What's New Year's Eve? We all know what happened in the palace, Director Qi, hurry up and take us to see the general!"
Qi Zhou hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to make way, "The general is still awake, please come in, all generals."
Everyone hurried in, and when they reached the upper room, they saw that the room was brightly lit, Gu Huaijiang and a few young masters were sitting in the hall to watch the new year, and everyone was quiet.
"Meet the general!"
After saluting in unison, Lao Jin glanced in the hall, but did not see Yufu, "Oops! General, where is Miss Yufu?"
When everyone saw that Yufu was nowhere to be seen, they were shocked for a moment.
Gu Shubai hurriedly said: "You don't need to worry, Yufu heard that you are coming, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare more food and wine, and he will come soon."
Lao Jin let out a long sigh of relief, "Lao Jin scared me to death, I thought she..."
"What do you think?"
Lao Jin glanced at Yan Huashi, and the latter said bravely: "We heard what happened in the palace, Your Majesty is too outrageous, the marriage between the Major General and Yufu was bestowed by the late Emperor, how dare Your Majesty force it?" Take plunder? Does he have the filial piety of a son of man, the benevolence of a king?"
Lao Jin said: "Yes, General, Your Majesty's move is too much! Since His Majesty came to the throne, our Gu family army has been repeatedly suppressed, and now Prime Minister Yin wants to extend the hand of military reform to our Gu family army! A joke, Under the rule of the general, he still needs a civil servant who doesn't understand a fart to reform?"
"General, this matter can't just go on like this, why don't we all go into the palace and talk to His Majesty, lest he think that there is no one in my Gu family army, and he can be bullied at will!"
Everyone was discussing, Yu Fu walked in from outside the house, and the discussion stopped.
Yao Lan and the others followed behind her, and brought up the freshly prepared dishes and snacks from the kitchen, and placed them on the big round table in the hall, "Everyone came late at night, I must have never had a good New Year's Eve dinner, drink some hot wine here to keep warm Stomach."
Lao Jin sighed, "I, Lao Jin, have never done anything worthwhile in my life. The most meaningful thing was to bring the young lady back from outside the Immortal Valley! You are willing to take the position, I, Lao Jin, admire Miss from the bottom of my heart!"
He clasped his fists in a salute, and the rest of the generals did the same, which made Yu Fu a little embarrassed.
Yu Fu helped them up one by one, "It's not worth admiring, I never cared about these false names."
While pouring wine, Yaolan looked at Yufu.
She has a noble status, and the position of Empress Dongling is a treasure in the eyes of others, but in her opinion, it is not worth caring about at all.
Lao Jin and the others didn't know Yu Fu's identity, they admired Yu Fu so much, and said: "My lady doesn't want to be a queen, I can't help your Majesty's obsession with sex! General, tell me, can our method work?"
"Of course not."
Gu Huaijiang raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and motioned for them to sit down and talk. After they were seated, he said, "The Gu family army has 200,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and your majesty is being deceived by traitors, so you are already afraid. If you go into the palace, your majesty will If you think it is a threat, it will only make us more jealous."
"If you can't enter the palace to find His Majesty, what should you do?"
Lao Jin scratched his head, Yan Huashi said: "What good way does the general have? Just say, I will cooperate with all my strength! Our young lady of the Gu family army, how can His Majesty just grab it? Absolutely not!"
Gu Jiuge said: "Right now, what I am worried about is not Yufu, but my father. Your Majesty did not forcibly order Yufu to be canonized tonight. After all, he is still afraid of the strength of Gu's army and his father's prestige in the court. If Your Majesty does not give up, Then his only solution is to weaken his father's prestige and the strength of the Gu family army... I'm afraid that soon, His Majesty will attack father!"
"Dare he?"
Lao Jin slapped the table and stood up, his eyes wide open, "If it wasn't for our general, would he have ascended to the throne? He would have died in the prison of the clan mansion long ago! This ungrateful person who crossed the river and demolished bridges, what qualifications does he have to be emperor? "
"Shh, are you crazy?"
Yan Huashi immediately stood up and covered his mouth. Fortunately, the servants of Guhou's mansion were all loyal, and Qi Zhou and others in the courtyard would not spread the word after hearing this.
He pointed at Lao Jin seriously, "Is this kind of nonsense? If you don't want your life, you don't want to hurt the general and the young ladies! Remember, no matter whether he is qualified or not, he is already the emperor. "
"He's right," Gu Shubai said: "The person who lives above the Golden Palace is indeed not qualified to be an emperor."
"Confession!"
Gu Huaijiang sternly stopped him, "Your Majesty must have been provoked by a traitor, his nature is not like this. Don't worry, I will personally go to the palace tomorrow to see His Majesty, and I will definitely be able to persuade him to change his mind."
Lao Jin, Yan Huashi and others hurriedly said: "General, you want to go alone? How can it be done?"
"That's right, His Majesty was angered tonight. What if he can't think about it for a while, and it will be bad for the general?"
Gu Shubai did not speak again.
The other things may be Yin Shuo instigating Ning Chengzhi, such as military reforms, such as suppressing Guhou's mansion.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Yin Shuo to deliberately instigate Yu Fu's matter.
If Ning Chengzhi made up his mind, it would be very difficult for Gu Huaijiang to convince him.
He suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Let my second younger brother accompany my father into the palace tomorrow, so I can take care of him. I'll go to the prime minister's mansion tomorrow, maybe Yin Shuo has some ideas about this matter."
Everyone in Guhou's mansion could understand what he was thinking, and fell silent for a moment.
Yu Fu faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, "Big Brother, I'll accompany you tomorrow, and I'll visit Ji Yu along the way."
Gu Huaijiang was noncommittal, "Then it's settled, you all go back, you don't need this matter for the time being, so remember not to act rashly."
Lao Jin and the others could only be in a hurry. They couldn't contribute to such a big matter, so they felt very uncomfortable.
But what Gu Huaijiang said was right, if they went to the palace to see Ning Chengzhi, it would only be perceived as a threat, which would be even more detrimental to the development of the situation.
Everyone had to leave. Before leaving, Lao Jin deliberately pulled Qi Zhou aside, "If the general wants to do something important, you must send someone to inform me! We all want to protect the general and the others, you can come with us?" It's a gang, do you hear?"
Qi Zhou looked at him in embarrassment, and felt that his words were not wrong, "General Jin, don't worry, if something really happens, I will be the first to send someone to invite you all!"
After everyone left, Guhou Mansion returned to its previous quietness, only the red lights in the corridor reflected the ground.
Yu Fu stared blankly at the swaying lights, everyone in the hall remained silent, even Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, who were always lively, became quiet, without a trace of New Year's atmosphere.
She suddenly smiled and stood up, "You can't just sit and watch the New Year all night, right? That's too boring, fifth brother and sixth brother, shall we perform ghost tricks for everyone?"
