C79 (1/2)
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.”
