Chapter 551 How long do you want to hide your thoughts from me?
Gu Yu came in from the window and said with a smile: "But how come I heard that you neither agreed nor refused?"
Junze joked: "What, are you jealous?"
The refusal was definitely a refusal. When the eldest princess didn't tell him about it, she refused on his behalf.
Zhang Rong was the princess chosen by the eldest princess for the fifth prince, but Zhang Rong learned about the entanglement between the fifth prince and a eunuch during their wedding.
The eldest princess already felt guilty, but now someone was hinting at her son, and her son happened to be entangled with Young Master Gu, which made the eldest princess couldn't help but hold her forehead.
Having tricked someone once, I can still comfort myself that I didn't know about the relationship between the fifth prince and the eunuch.
Now the son and Gu Yu know very well that the eldest princess must not deceive others a second time.
After Junze found out, he passed the news directly to Gu Yu, deliberately not making it clear just to lure Gu Yu over.
He knew that Junze couldn't like Zhang Rong, so he wouldn't be jealous.
But under Junze's condemning gaze, Gu Yu touched her nose guiltily and said, "I've been busy lately."
Junze was indeed left out in the cold.
There were constant open and covert attacks between Prime Minister Wang and Han Clan, and with people from the Nine Princes faction secretly helping out, Han Clan was unable to resist.
While Gu Yu was struggling to support himself in the court, he worked with Gao Huai and Tang Xian to discuss various issues related to the land equalization system, and also personally visited the two counties several times.
In a good year, with good policies, the tax revenue of the two counties this year has increased instead of falling, and the people will be able to live a much more prosperous life this winter.
With the precedent of the two prefectures, the Holy Spirit plans to continue next year along the periphery of Kyoto.
This matter has already been brought up once, the Holy Spirit refused to give in on this point, and the family didn't say much.
Gu Yu has a heavy responsibility and often rushes back and forth in the cold wind. When he returns home, he falls asleep and has no time to come to Junze.
The only good thing is that the Holy Emperor is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the family.
Just as busy as her were Shao Wuji and Prime Minister Wang.
In the Yu Dynasty, the most powerful civil servant, the Prime Minister, and the most powerful military officer, Shao Taiwei, fought fiercely.
Gu Yu sat and watched on the upper wall, lighting the fire from time to time, adding a bit of fun to his busy life.
Junze stretched out his arm and said, "Come here, I'll warm your hands."
Winter in Kyoto came very early this year, and the wind was biting. Gu Yu inevitably felt cold when she came from outside.
Junze's room was burning hot, but Gu Yu walked over anyway, without taking the hand that Junze handed over, but instead lifted his quilt with ease and looked at the injuries on his back.
The injury Junze suffered in late autumn was not serious. No matter how young and strong he was, he could not withstand such a beating.
The scabs on my back are gradually falling off, but the internal injuries have not yet healed.
Junze suddenly clicked his tongue and said depressedly: "Why do I feel that you are looking at my body like pork now?"
In the past, Gu Yu was annoyed by him and his ears turned red, but now Da Ji Li lifts his quilt and is very skillful.
Gu Yu said: "Probably because your back is ugly."
During the initial days when he was recovering from his injuries, Gu Yu gave him the medicine.
Anyone who looks at a back covered with scars can hardly think of anything charming. Isn’t it just like looking at pork?
Junze climbed up from the bed, hugged Gu Yu and said, "I look good in front of you, you can look in front of me."
Gu Yu coughed lightly and suddenly looked out the window and said, "Look, it's snowing."
Junze pulled Gu Yu's face back and said, "Is Xue as good-looking as me?"
Gu Yu is at his most relaxed when he is with Junze.
When Junze wanted to make a fuss, Gu Yu accompanied him to make a fuss. At this moment, she looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I'm not as good-looking as you."
After Junze was satisfied, he went to see the snow with her.
Gu Yu said: "When this winter passes, your injury will be healed."
Junze said: "The days of leisurely reading storybooks are numbered."
Gu Yu lowered her eyes and got down to business: "Sister, we have already taken action. We will find a way to overthrow Shao Wuji and leave Kyoto."
The soldiers and horses of Kyoto and the Eagle Guards guarding the imperial city are in charge of Shao Wuji. If they want to do anything, they are restricted at every turn.
Jun Ze said: "The Holy One trusted Shao Wuji. When he killed 20,000 rebels in Jiangnan, the Holy One downplayed it. Now he wants to use him to deal with the noble family."
When the word "trap and kill" was mentioned, Junze felt that Gu Yu in his arms stiffened, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yu rubbed his eyes and said, "It's nothing, I'm a little upset."
Shao Wuji is a cold killing machine without any emotion at all.
No father, no mother, no wife, no children, no relatives and no friends.
Life is very simple, just practicing martial arts, ransacking homes, and arresting people.
Everywhere you go, everyone is in danger.
Gu Yu's people stared at him for a long time, but they couldn't catch him at all, and the same was true for the aristocratic family, otherwise Prime Minister Wang would have taken action long ago.
Occasionally, some mistakes are not worth mentioning under the favor of the Holy One.
Gu Yu frowned unconsciously.
After the battle at Sunset Pass, the Holy Emperor took the opportunity to take the military power of the Gu family into his own hands and handed it all over to Shao Wuji.
It can be said that as long as Shao Wuji is here, the Holy One has the final say in Kyoto.
When the Holy One controlled the military power, she had to find ways to divide it.
The first step in dividing military power, and the most difficult step to take, is to overthrow Shao Wuji.
She originally wanted the aristocratic family to deal with Shao Wuji, but Prime Minister Wang was cunning and cunning, fearing that both sides would suffer in a fight with Shao Wuji, so he never used all his strength.
Shao Wuji's mistakes were too difficult to catch, and Gu Yu was unable to do anything about it.
As soon as I heard the word "trap and kill", my eyes turned cold.
Junze clearly felt that Gu Yu, who had been chatting and laughing with him just now, suddenly became depressed. Thinking of what Gu Yu was hiding from him, his eyes darkened.
Junze hugged Gu Yu and said warmly: "Gu Yu, how long do you want to hide your worries from me?"
Gu Yu was stunned and said: "Some words are buried too deep for too long, and it is difficult to say them out."
She and Junze have experienced life and death, and have expressed their feelings for each other. The truth about Luoyiguan should not be hidden from him.
It's just that the past is too heavy, and Gu Yu is used to forbearing, and she doesn't even know where to start talking about it.
Junze knew Gu Yu's temper and said in a persuasive manner: "It has something to do with Shao Wuji, and it also has something to do with the Holy Master, right?"
The room was extremely quiet. Gu Yu was held in Junze's arms, and her tired soul finally found a place to rest.
Thinking of the cruel truth of Sunset Pass, thinking of thousands of Gu family soldiers fighting bloody battles, only to be buried in hell by the people they desperately protected, thinking of Gu Feibai dragging his decaying body all the way back to Kyoto...
Before he could say anything, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Gu Yu was used to being patient, but now in Junze's arms, perhaps because the arms were too warm, she could not suppress her grief.
Junze lowered his head and kissed the teardrop, held Gu Yu's face in his hands, and said, "If you feel that you can't speak out, I won't ask."
