Gu Yun hadn't seen the sun for a few days, and finally regained his freedom with great difficulty. He squatted on the porch and basked in the sun for a while, feeling much better about it.
King Jin walked over with chicken soup and squatted down next to Gu Yun, placing the soup plate on his body. "Nah, wangfei purposely made this prince bring it here. Drink it yourself, I won't feed it to you."
Gu Yun immediately frowned, "We won't be able to finish all the crows in the house?"
King Jin glared. "You smug you, my princess has never made this duke any chicken soup, you're already sick of it, didn't you say that the taste had changed? Why are you so adamant on it when your wife feeds you, and this duke will personally stop you from drinking it?"
How could it be the same? Even if his wife gave him the soup, he still had to drink it. Not to mention the black chicken soup, he would still drink it even if he had to feed the chicken blood.
"Of course not, King Jin will personally serve the soup, so naturally we will have to drink as well. However, since it is an imperial concubine's kind intentions, I cannot enjoy it all by myself, right? Come, let's have a bowl."
King Jin: "..."
Did anyone bring a bowl of chicken soup for a toast? King Jin glanced at him unhappily, he could not bear to reject her kind intentions and shared a bowl of chicken soup with Gu Yun.
"Sheng Luan will be back in a few days, right?" Gu Yun said.
Yesterday, I received the news, in just a day or two, Ministry Feng's entire family was beheaded, the Crown Prince was secretly watched by His Majesty, although he did not admit to it, the His Majesty did not do anything to him, but if I were to add fuel to the fire, the Crown Prince would be satisfied.
The prince's faction had been chopped off Ministry Feng, the right-hand man of the crown prince's faction. The crown prince had suffered heavy losses, moreover, the crown prince had even brought him a gunpowder warehouse, if he thought about doing anything in the future, it might not be an easy task for him. Since the His Majesty was prepared for him, the crown prince would have to tighten his tail.
King Jin patted Gu Yun's shoulder, "It's been hard on you this time, rest assured and rest up. If I'm not wrong, His Majesty will soon entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and make sure that you don't have to worry about yourself in the future. Your wife, even the wangfei won't be able to take care of her, and now that she knows that you're working for me, she probably won't be able to see me anymore.
It was true that the crown prince was afraid of General Sheng Luan and wanted to ambush him midway. As long as the General Sheng army stepped onto that place, they would be able to kill them easily. Originally, he had only heard that Gu Yun had gone to the Ministry of War, so he planned to use some methods to get rid of him and seize the opportunity to take over his charming little wife. However, he had coincidentally discovered the secret matter of Yang Shouli forging gunpowder.
Then, the crown prince wanted to put the blame of Sheng Luan's death on Yang Shouli and Gu Yun. He did not know that Gu Yun had long discovered his scheme, it was just that he did not expect the process to be so dangerous, and almost lost his life.
Everyone was well aware of where the gunpowder was buried, so the His Majesty naturally saw through the Crown Prince's ambition. The Southern Sea was not peaceful right now, so General Sheng Luan was the divine needle of the Southern Sea, but unfortunately, Sheng Luan was not part of the Crown Prince's group. With such a large piece of meat, the Crown Prince probably wanted to hold the military power of the Southern Sea in his hands long ago.
The His Majesty was patient with the crown prince, but it could not stop other people from thinking about it. The crown prince had rebelled like this and was very ruthless to his enemies, if he were to take over the job, many people would be in trouble. Even the people in the crown prince's party would feel sorry for him, and seeing the crown prince being so cold to the Ministry Feng, they couldn't help but plan for themselves.
As a result, many people in the Imperial Court started to focus on the Second Prince, and gradually started to pay attention to his abilities and character. If the Second Prince was able to support him up the wall, it would be a way out.
The grand occasion of General Sheng Luan returning to the capital swept away the haze that had hung over the city for many days. Hearing that the His Majesty was going to welcome him personally, the entire capital was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and the night smoke and fire lit up half the sky.
After three rounds of drinking, it was already the matters of the son. His Majesty was drunk, General Sheng tactfully refused to have His Majesty stay in the palace, and after leaving the palace, he took a stroll in the General's Estate, then turned around and went back to the Palace.
The King Jin was once again locked outside the door by the imperial concubine, so he could only carry his bedding along to Gu Yun's room to play chess. Sheng Luan immediately climbed over the wall to enter.
"For a dignified General Sheng to jump over the wall and enter my house in the middle of the night, how shameless must you be?" King Jin crossed his legs and played chess with Gu Yun, and then was accidentally killed. Bai Zi was so angry that he threw him away, "I have never seen anyone more abnormal than you, Gu Xuanchen, playing chess!"
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, "Then you've never seen the General Sheng fight before, if you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn't think I'm crazy."
Sheng Luan was flattered by the two so he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. In truth, General Sheng's skin was not really thick, it looked tender and tender, and after drinking a little, he still had some face, he thought that he was not that perverted, but he had heard the heroic deeds of the Young Master Gu himself when he was far away from the capital.
"I, Sheng, am truly unworthy."
"He even kicked his nose in the face." King Jin rolled his eyes, "You don't go out to war every day, why do you blow the sea breeze for a year or two? It's getting whiter and whiter."
"I am born with no talent."
King Jin: "..."
He was really angry, hating that others were more handsome than him, that Sheng Luan was more handsome than him, that King Jin felt that he had been careless when making friends, that he had felt wronged and bitter, but still had to smile at these two perverts.
Sheng Luan said to Gu Yun: "How is it, how are your injuries? I heard that you married your wife, I haven't even had the time to ask for a goblet of wedding wine yet."
King Jin clicked his tongue, "For you, Xuanchen almost went back to reconstruct the sect. Think about how to repay you with your entire body for the rest of your life, but as a wife, Gu Yun, cough cough … "It's really hard to explain. You'll know when you see it."
Sheng Luan looked at Gu Yun with a confused expression, "Brother, although we have been delayed for a few years, don't be so reluctant to think of it, finding a wife is more important than finding one to be virtuous. Look at King Jin, he has already married a long time ago, does he have any status at home?
King Jin: "..."
Right now, he had the urge to chase them away. This seemed to be his home!
Gu Yun covered his mouth and laughed, he was very pleased with King Jin's actions of lifting a rock to smash his own foot, "One of these days, I will invite you to my courtyard to meet me. My wife does not eat people, you can rest assured."
The three men didn't know what to say, and only dispersed after a while. Sheng Luan rushed back to the General's House before dawn, while Gu Yun also planned to return the next day.
After Xie Jingxi finished with all the things that happened at Marquis Mansion, she personally ran over early in the morning to bring Gu Yun home. Actually, Gu Yun's walking speed was not that fast, so Xie Jingxi was not at ease with him on the one hand, and the reason she came over to thank King Jin and Prince Jin's Wife on the other.
"I'm really sorry for bothering Princess Hua-Yang so much these days."
"There's no need to be polite with me. I treat you and your wife as my friends, so don't care about your status and separate from me. Just come and talk to me whenever you have time."
When Gu Yun returned to the Marquis Mansion, he did not alarm anyone else, but he still went back to his own courtyard. In reality, in the entire Marquis Mansion, other than the fact that the Marquis would pay attention to his movements, no one else paid attention to Gu Yun. The matter of the Ministry of War was covered up by the His Majesty, and most people did not know about the various inner circumstances. Some even thought that the young master of the Gu family was gone, and some even said that he had lost half his life. In any case, Gu Yun had always been a short-lived ghost in the eyes of others, so it would not be strange for him to die.
It was a pity that his profound strength was implicated by him and he encountered a great calamity, but also a pity that he had lost such a good wife. As for the people inside the Marquis Mansion, they all thought that the matter regarding Marquis Mansion was because of Gu Yun, and the people leading the people here couldn't help but hate him more.
Gu Heng felt awkward and just sat there for a while before he left. Gu Wan finished his studies and came back late, but immediately buried his head into Gu Yun's courtyard, hugging him and crying loudly.
"Wuwu, you scared me to death. Do you know how worried I was for you these past few days? Why were you so careless!"
That day, when Gu Wan personally sent Grandma Dagu back, he avoided a calamity and stayed in Grandma Dagu's mansion for a few days. When she came back and heard that something had happened to Gu Yun, he was so scared that she cried a few times.
"I'm fine now, silly girl. Usually, you're so heartless that I don't know what to do when you're crying. What's the matter? Do you want your sister-in-law to give you a candy?"
"Look at how angry Big Brother is!" Gu Wan complained to Xie Jingxi, "I pity him, and he even teased me. I refuse to comply, I have to treat him to a good meal first, or else I will ignore you guys!"
"Just a moment ago, you were still crying for me, but now you're ignoring me again. How am I going to justify myself?"
"You just have to tease her." Xie Jingxi brought the medicine over for Gu Yun, "Isn't it just a meal? We can just go out for a meal some other day, or we can just call a few more people over to join the liveliness."
"That's a good idea!" Gu Wan jumped three feet into the air, "The scenery is still better, we will just call a few more people over. Big brother, don't you still have a manor left, how about we roast some wild food there?"
"Our family will be decided by your sister-in-law. I have no objections if she says she wants to go."
"Big brother, you weren't like this in the past, did you do something shameful to apologize to Jingwan!"
Gu Yun was truly disappointed, he wanted to find a chance to make it up, so he decided to take advantage of the time to relax in the manor. However, just as he was preparing, the His Majesty gave the order, and gave Gu Yun the title of Minister, and would take office three days later.
