"Chu Yun, you were too impulsive today."

"Your Majesty is right." Chu Yun bowed his head, his amber eyes dark and unclear.

"I am not blaming you, but you have indeed acted inappropriately recently, and the court is quite dissatisfied with you. I must take measures to appease the public resentment." Eunuch Cai ordered the eunuchs on both sides to remove the screen. Behind the screen with a picture of auspicious dragon and phoenix, the old and tired face of Emperor Mingde appeared.

"Today, my three sons made a big fuss in the court. As you know, Minister Lu of the Ministry of War has passed away and the position is vacant. The food and wages of the Northern Frontier Army are missing. It's almost the New Year, and we can't let any more trouble happen at this time." Emperor Mingde walked down the steps slowly, bent down personally and helped Chu Yun, who had been kneeling for a long time, up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Yun bowed slightly. He looked like a submissive subject and looked at the tired back of Emperor Mingde respectfully. "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

"Chu Yun, I have known you for many years. You are a smart person, and I will not beat around the bush. Young General Gu is stubborn and needs a good teacher to guide him. You are the most suitable candidate. As for the Imperial Guard, I will ask someone to share the burden for you."

"I understand. This is the imperial guards' token. Tomorrow, I will go to Young General Gu's residence." Chu Yun smiled meekly and turned away.

The footsteps faded away, and the Taiji Hall became quiet again. Emperor Mingde held the dark green imperial guards token and touched the lines on it with his fingers, as if greeting an old friend.

"Your Majesty, the Regent has been too impulsive in recent days. I feel that everything has gone too smoothly." A man came out from a side hall and stood quietly beside Emperor Mingde.

"It's okay. Lu Yu, I know you're suspicious. I promise you, if this matter is related to the Regent, I will give your Lu family an explanation." Emperor Mingde put away the smile on his face and handed over the Imperial Guards token, "Tomorrow, you will take over the Imperial Guards."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. The Lu family will never betray."

The unlucky person is Gu Junwen. After she was tricked by Ye Nan, not only did her reputation become bad, but she was also targeted by Chu Yun and Emperor Mingde.

However, Gu Junwen knew nothing about all this at the moment, and all her attention was attracted by the sleeve arrow handed over by Shen Ze.

"Uncle Shen, what do you mean?" Gu Junwen took the sleeve arrow and played with it carefully. She had only seen it in TV dramas before, and this was the first time she touched the real thing. It was small and delicate, and it was indeed a handy hidden weapon.

"This is the plum blossom sleeve arrow. It can hold 6 arrows at a time. It can shoot without missing a target within 30 steps. Young General, please be careful." Chen Ze took the plum blossom sleeve arrow back and demonstrated its use to Gu Junwen in detail.

"Today I heard that the young general encountered an assassin on his way back home. It was our fault. However, Kyoto is different from the northern part of the Great Wall, and there are many rules. This item is small and easy to carry, so you can keep it for self-defense."

"Tongtong, what assassin? How come I don't know?" Gu Junwen smiled and nodded at Chen Ze. No matter what, it would not be wrong to nod and agree. Chen Ze would not harm her.

"Host, I think you are talking about the group of spies who followed you this afternoon." System 101 reminded in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Junwen waved her hands. She had long since let it go. No matter how she tried to hide, trouble would still find her.

In that case, why not think positively? Gu Junwen thought to himself, tapping the table with his fingers.

"Major General, what did you say?" Shen Ze took two steps closer, examining Gu Junwen's subtle expression.

"I understand. I will send someone to get the food and money I asked for back to Saibei." Shen Ze slapped his thigh and laughed loudly. He grabbed his sword and rushed out of the door, startling the crowd in the courtyard.

"No, what did he understand? Why don't I understand?" Gu Junwen scratched his head, unable to understand.

Forget it, forget it. She didn’t want to think about it anymore. The magical thinking of these people was beyond her comprehension.

"Host, host, you can actually apply for an upgrade to your mind-reading ability, so you can know." System 101 popped up and whispered a suggestion in Gu Junwen's ear.

"What happens after the upgrade? What changes will there be?" Gu Junwen propped up his chin and threw a grape into his mouth, feeling bored.

"After the upgrade, host, you can read the thoughts of the person you want to know without any contact."

"There's such a good thing." Gu Junwen became interested when he heard it.

If that were the case, she could selectively block Ye Nanyi's evil thoughts of threatening her.

"Ahem," System 101 coughed twice, interrupting Gu Junwen's fantasy, "But there is a restriction. When the male protagonist appears, the host will automatically be able to read the male protagonist's thoughts first. Host, do you agree to the upgrade?"

This... Gu Junwen fell into silence. Time passed by bit by bit in the silent silence.

"I agree, of course I agree." Shen Anan was talking to her father. She forgot to knock on the door and walked in directly.

"Okay, the host will be upgraded soon." System 101 was ready to go upon hearing this. It rubbed its antenna hands and immediately clicked the confirmation button.

The system automatically prompted a sound: "Beep! Mind reading is being upgraded!"

"Yuntong, cancel it! It wasn't me just now!" Gu Junwen scratched her hair anxiously. She stretched out her hand and tried in vain to grab System 101.

No, she really doesn't seem to care about the male protagonist's feelings! Whoever wants to know about the evil star can go and know it.

"Ah?" System 101 came back to his senses from his excitement, looked down and saw Shen Anan rushing in excitedly, and slapped his head. It's over, he heard it wrong.

This. System 101 poked its own finger and said, "I'm sorry, host. I will actively apply to the main system and try to help you cancel it as soon as possible. But at present, the upgrade is irreversible."

"You!" Gu Junwen was too tired to complain. Never mind, it was destined, she didn't blame anyone.
