Gu Yudao: "It's raining so hard, do you think I want to come out?"
Junze said: "Is it because of me?"
Gu Yu said: "Yes."
Junze's eyes lit up.
But Gu Yu said coldly: "Last time I helped you beat Wang Pei, and Wang Cheng got involved with me. Why wasn't it because of you?"
Junze smiled softly.
The pattering autumn rain soaked Junze's whole body and his smiling eyes.
As for what Wang Cheng was involved in, Gu Yu was just like him. If he really didn't want to come out, he could just argue to the end.
But it was raining so hard, but she still came out.
Gu Yu looked deserted, but in fact her warmth was hidden under this layer of coldness.
The rain fell heavier and heavier, making Gu Yu's figure look thinner and thinner, leaving Junze with mixed feelings in his heart.
Bitterness, frustration, humiliation, and heartache for Gu Yu.
Has it come to this point?
One is a relative of the emperor and the other is an upstart in the imperial court.
There should have been a bright future, but because of the two princes, they knelt miserably outside the Fengtian Palace, listening to the patter of rain.
The autumn wind blew through his clothes, and Junze's body and mind were chilled. He turned to Gu Yu and said, "Are you cold? Does your knee hurt?"
Gu Yu almost knelt to death in front of Fengtian Temple before. He remembered that Gu Yu had been limping for a long time.
From then on, Gu Yu's hands were always cold, and his body bones were not as good as before.
Gu Yudao: "I'm cold, I'm in pain, can you help me stand up?"
Junze was speechless and turned his head in embarrassment.
He was at a loss about the current situation and couldn't bear to let Gu Yu stay here with him in the rain, but there was nothing he could do.
Gu Yu turned to look at him, chuckled, and said, "Look, why are you distressed? It's not like I've never knelt before. As a minister, there will be countless opportunities to kneel in the future. It wouldn't be surprising even to die on my knees here."
"
Junze heard the irony in Gu Yu's words and murmured: "Being a minister? A king, a minister, a minister."
Gu Yu said disdainfully: "Although there are kings and ministers, there is also a saying that if the king is not the king, the ministers will not be the ministers."
Junze raised his head, glanced at the magnificent Fengtian Palace in the autumn rain, and said, "This is the Fengtian Palace, Gu Yu, you are really brave."
Gu Yufeng narrowed her eyes slightly, as if to clearly understand the words Fengtian Palace, and said: "It's not the first day you've met me. I've always been very courageous."
Junze said: "What a coincidence, I am also very courageous."
The sound of rain obscured their conversation.
Until the end of the court meeting, all civil and military officials filed out.
Everyone's eyes kept scanning over them, whispering to each other.
After everyone left, Eunuch Fuhai came over and said, "The Holy Father has issued a message to pardon you two and go back."
Gu Yu stood up on her own without the help of palace attendants.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Junze subconsciously extending his hand towards her, and stood firm on his own.
Fuhai said: "How are you two? Can you walk out of the palace by yourself?"
Fuhai could only say a few polite words, and even if he couldn't, the Holy Emperor would not send a sedan to carry them out.
Junze said: "It doesn't matter."
While talking, Gu Yu had already left silently.
There are many inconveniences in the palace, and it is difficult for them to get too close.
Junze stared blankly at her back, which gradually blurred in the rain.
The words he once said to the fifth prince rang in his ears.
Who has not been in a cage for a long time, unable to control himself?
As a minister, you can't even walk with your sweetheart, let alone stay together for life.
Fuhai looked at Junze's not-so-good expression and comforted him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been angry recently and it is inevitable that he will act in extreme ways."
Fuhai followed the Holy One, knowing very well how carefree and unrestrained Junze was in the past, and how favored and indulgent the Holy One was.
Comparing the two, Fuhai was afraid that Junze would be hit, so he couldn't help but say a few words of relief.
But when he looked up, he saw a look in Junze's peach blossom eyes that he couldn't understand.
Junze looked at Fuhai and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Fuhai. This temporary disappointment is nothing. Let's wait for the day to come."
After Junze finished speaking, he left.
After all, he had received twenty imperial sticks and knelt down for such a long time. Junze didn't walk as freely as usual, but his overall temperament was still extraordinary.
Fuhai laughed at himself, what was he worried about?
How could King Xiaoyao be so devastated by this small blow?
Are golden scales just a thing in the pond? They turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds.
Fuhai secretly looked forward to this man's counterattack.
Fuhai came all the way to the Qinzheng Hall, just when Prime Minister Wang came out of it, and hurriedly paid his respects to him.
After the court meeting, Prime Minister Wang came to the Qinzheng Hall to report some government affairs.
The Holy Spirit was very tired, and obviously did not have much energy to deal with this old fox, so he wanted him to go back in a few words.
Seeing Fu Hai, Prime Minister Wang seemed to casually ask: "Where did Eunuch Fu Hai go in the rain?"
Fuhai smiled and said: "On the orders of the Holy One, I'm going to invite King Xiaoyao and Young Master Gu back."
Prime Minister Wang asked: "Did they go back together?"
Today, Prime Minister Wang has only one purpose, to hint to His Majesty that the Young Master has formed an alliance with King Xiaoyao.
The fact that two people beat his son together is clear evidence.
The two princes fell, but the people behind them came together. How could it not be suspicious?
Young Master Gu is a representative of a poor family, while King Xiaoyao is backed by a distinguished family.
If these two people form an alliance, how can the Holy Emperor trust Gu Yu anymore?
Wen Hansi without Gu Yu is naturally not worth mentioning.
It's a pity that the Holy Spirit's response was weak today, so he used Fu Hai to remind him again.
Fuhai knew the strange things about King Xiaoyao and Mr. Gu. They had been with the Holy Sage for so long and they had already become human beings.
He was not fooled and said: "Young Master Gu has a bad look on his face, so he takes the first step. King Xiaoyao will inevitably fall behind after receiving the imperial staff."
Prime Minister Wang was disappointed again. It seemed that he had to think of another way to make the Holy Emperor suspicious of these two people.
After Prime Minister Wang left, Fuhai went to the waiter and brought tea to the Holy Emperor.
The Holy One heard clearly what Fu Hai and Prime Minister Wang just said, but he still asked: "How did they react?"
Fuhai raised his hand and said, "After all, I have been kneeling for so long, and my face is full of fatigue."
The Holy Spirit said: "Do they have any complaints?"
Fuhai smiled and said: "The Holy One is joking. They have done something wrong and are willing to be punished. How dare they have any resentment?"
The Holy One was speechless upon hearing this.
He didn't believe a word of what Prime Minister Wang said.
If Gu Yu hadn't said yesterday that Junze was trying to cover up the fifth prince and Derong, he might have been a little suspicious.
But Gu Yu happened to say it, and he said it clearly and truly.
Gu Yu's malice towards Junze is palpable, and with both the fifth and sixth princes harmed, how could Gu Yu form an alliance with Junze?
The Holy Emperor was originally dissatisfied with Gu Yu because of the Sixth Prince, but after Prime Minister Wang said this, he felt a little more relieved about Gu Yu.
He is now inseparable from Bachelor Wenhan, and Gu Yu is the head of Wenhansi.
Gu Yu placed all her hatred on Junze for the sixth prince's loss of power. Although the fifth prince and the sixth prince fell, there was still a subtle check and balance between them.
And Prime Minister Wang, the turbulence under the water finally turned up.
The struggle between aristocratic families and humble families has become fierce.
The Holy Father took a sip of tea and asked Bachelor Wenhan to assist him in handling government affairs.
