General Gu waited for Gu Qingying to enter the room and immediately closed the door.
Gu Xiao, who was about to enter the house, was stopped outside the door and was stunned.
Is he locked out?
Gu Xiao scratched his head depressedly, sighed and turned around to leave.
Seeing General Gu's mysterious appearance, Gu Qingying was a little surprised and said, "Why is dad so mysterious? Did something happen to him?"
General Gu glanced at Gu Qingying strangely and said, "Are you going to see the emperor?"
He didn't expect that Gu Qingying would go and look for it.
Gu Qingying did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor promised me last time that he would not arrange dangerous things for me after he went to Yuncheng. He deliberately set up a trap in the court, and what he was waiting for was
If dad takes the initiative to speak, maybe the officials will get the emperor's order in advance."
I don't blame her for thinking so.
It's not like there are no capable people in the imperial city. The emperor seems to have a soft spot for her father.
No matter how big or small she encounters, she likes to make arrangements for her father.
If General Gu was still ten or twenty years younger, it would definitely be a good thing to be reused like this.
But today General Gu is already late as a hero.
For her, the best thing for General Gu to do now is to take care of himself at home.
General Gu sighed and said: "I have thought of what you said. I actually don't know how to refuse the emperor. I was hesitant to go before, but after today I don't plan to go."
Seeing General Gu's disappointment, Gu Qingying thought something must have happened.
He quickly asked: "Did something happen to dad?"
General Gu did not deny it and said: "I went to visit a good friend today and learned from him that the emperor had hinted it to the ministers in advance. Even my old friend had received the hint from the emperor."
Gu Qingying frowned.
I don't understand the emperor's behavior very much.
"Why did the emperor do this? Dad is loyal to Tianyuan Kingdom, so it would be too chilling for him to do this."
She felt that the emperor definitely had scheming intentions.
What he said to her was another thing.
General Gu sat down and said with helplessness on his face: "The Emperor cannot be completely blamed for this matter. In fact, even if I encounter such a thing, I will not let others go easily."
Gu Qingying was confused.
General Gu explained: "I can't say that I blame the emperor. I just think that the emperor is a bit dishonest in doing this. If he wants me to go, he can make it clear to me. There is no need to use other means."
Gu Qingying thought about what she said to the emperor in the palace and said: "The emperor wants to say something, but also wants you to go. Dad, I have clearly rejected the emperor, but if you really want to go, I will take your place."
Go, or go with you."
The Western Region is not safe.
Especially she knew in her heart that Yelu Tianqi's current situation had something to do with her.
Yelu Tianqi was still very popular among the kings of the Western Regions.
It is conceivable how much influence Yelu Tianqi's incident had on the king of the Western Regions.
General Gu waved his hand and said happily: "I am satisfied with your filial piety. Qingying, you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, I hope you can take good care of yourself and Yue'er. Dad.
At your age, you can accept whatever consequences you encounter, do you understand? But you, your brother and Yue'er are the people that dad cares about the most..."
General Gu was interrupted by Gu Qingying before he finished speaking.
Gu Qingying said seriously: "Dad, don't say these unlucky words. I won't let you encounter any danger. You were the one protecting me in the past, and I will protect you in the future."
The father and daughter talked for a long time in the study.
Gu Qingying walked out of the study with satisfaction. She had thoroughly convinced General Gu.
Regardless of whether the emperor would eventually change his mind or not, whether the queen would interfere with it or not, she planned to advance and retreat together with her father.
In the palace.
After the queen returned from the imperial garden, she sat with a gloomy look on her face.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side were frightened.
The personal nun was more courageous and stepped forward to ask what happened and why she was so angry.
The queen said coldly: "That bitch is better off. If it weren't for the emperor's protection, I would have prevented her from leaving the palace today. I didn't find her so hateful when I saw her before."
Mammy whispered: "Maybe she could pretend before? Our prince is such a powerful person, it is her loss."
The queen said with a dark face: "Don't she care about General Gu very much? She went to the palace to beg the emperor for General Gu. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he still protected her."
When she thought of the emperor's protection of Gu Qingying, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
It’s just that the concubines in the palace were more favored than her.
Gu Qingying is actually so popular in front of the emperor.
Mammy said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the emperor is guilty? From what I can see, Gu Qingying is not as simple as it seems on the surface. She must have used special means to make the emperor believe her."
The queen sneered and said: "What can I do? It's just that I have helped Tianyuan Kingdom before, and the emperor has promised her something before, and yet she dares to show her face in front of me. What's wrong with my Cangjue? Let her go."
I don’t know how many young ladies want to pursue our Cang Jue, but that little bitch still dares to dislike her."
What she couldn't accept the most was Gu Qingying's attitude towards Li Cangjue.
It's fine if I haven't seen Gu Qingying, but now that I've seen him, I'm even more disgusted.
The queen continued: "Doesn't she care about General Gu the most? Since General Gu won't go to the Western Regions, let General Gu go suppress the bandits."
Banditry has been very serious recently.
Gu Qingying has always been wary of the queen's persecution.
After two days of such calmness, I thought this matter was almost over, but I didn't expect trouble to come.
Gu Xiao and General Gu came back from the morning meeting. Gu Xiao was obviously unhappy with a dark face, and General Gu was also obviously unhappy.
Gu Qingying asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like something happened to you?"
Both of them went to the morning court. If anything happened, it must have happened in the court.
She never asked about the court.
Because this is not something she should worry about.
But seeing that two people in the family have this attitude, I can't help but worry.
Li Jingyi also entered the room with the help of the maid.
Li Jingyi also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Frowning, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like something's wrong with you all?"
Not only is something wrong, the state of the two of them can only be described as weird.
Gu Xiao raised his head and finally said: "The emperor asked dad to suppress the bandits."
Suppress bandits?
Hearing these two words, Gu Qingying was stunned.
Is the emperor so good at playing? Because her father refused to go to the border, he started arranging dangerous things for her father again?
General Gu sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, this proposal is not arranged by the emperor, but by the empress behind it..."
