Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Remember to be safe.
==Chapter 85==
Yan Yunhe came down from the execution ground. He had been there for a long time. The smell of blood was so strong that he felt like he was pickled.
The entire capital was in a panic. Gu Yushi relied on the imperial edict in his hand and showed no mercy. The court officials were afraid that one day he would bring the imperial guards into their own mansions. He was simply an executioner!
After this incident, Yan Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little wary of him.
No one is alone. Everyone has something or someone they care about. When encountering such a reckless madman, who wouldn't be frightened?
Feng Wenyu also heard some rumors and frowned slightly.
Feng Wenzhou didn't understand why she frowned:
"He knows his limits."
Hearing this, Feng Wenyu rolled his eyes. What sense of propriety? If these two really knew how to behave, his second brother and he wouldn't have ended up being demoted and exiled in his previous life!
Feng Wenyu and Feng Wenzhou had just had a conversation, and the next day she met Gu Yushi.
“Shen Jingchen wants to see you.”
He dropped a message right away, and there was no emotion in his tone.
Feng Wenyu looked at him with a strange expression. When did he become so good-tempered that he was willing to pass on a message for Shen Jingchen?
"I heard that you took people to the Lu family yesterday. How come you are free today?"
Gu Yushi paused and asked, "Are you free?"
As soon as the imperial edict came out, he immediately became busy, and even the six ministries and three judicial departments had to work around the clock with him. The Lu family's main family was in Jiangnan, and it would take some time for the news to reach there. Nine generations of the family were implicated, and even confiscating their property would take a long time.
But it was rare to have an excuse to visit her.
He was honest: "No time."
Feng Wenyu was puzzled: "Then why did you come here in person to deliver the message for him?"
"Um."
Gu Yushi paused for a moment before lowering his eyes and muffledly saying, "I'm here to see you."
Feng Wenyu was confused by his straightforwardness.
Gu Yushi was not such a dull person. He would explain, pursue, and do everything in his power to please her. When he was young and naive, he expressed his affection hesitantly, but as he grew older, sweet words became increasingly difficult to express.
Not only was he embarrassed to say it, but Feng Wenyu would also feel embarrassed when he heard it.
Now, when I do it again, things have changed again.
Feng Wenyu was lost in thought, and then he heard Gu Yushi's question:
"Are you going to see him?"
He actually asked a second time.
Feng Wenyu was really shocked: "You actually passed on a message for him."
Similar question, completely different meaning.
In her opinion, Gu Yushi's dislike for Shen Jingchen was beyond words.
She couldn't help but whisper, "Have you changed your gender?"
Gu Yushi looked away a little uncomfortably, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible:
"You're not going anyway."
Shen Jingchen drugged her and wanted to attack her, but she was not a kind-hearted person. It was impossible for her to have no estrangement towards Shen Jingchen after this incident.
Knowing the answer to the question, Gu Yushi certainly didn't mind using this as an excuse to take a trip.
Feng Wenyu rolled his eyes at him.
She turned and left, too lazy to pay attention to Gu Yushi, but looking at the direction she went, she knew that it was impossible for her to see Shen Jingchen.
Gu Yushi followed silently.
The two of them walked quietly for a while. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious, which made Gu Yushi feel a little dazed. His fingers in his sleeves moved imperceptibly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Feng Wenyu, and then looked at her again.
Feng Wenyu was thinking about something and didn't notice his gaze.
After a moment, Feng Wenyu spoke: "You..."
Gu Yushi responded subconsciously:
"I am here."
Feng Wenyu paused, looked at him with a complicated look, then pursed her lips and said:
"You understand the affairs of the court better than I do."
Her voice lowered, a little erratic: "You obviously have a safer way to go."
Being a knife in the hands of Emperor Wenyuan, he offended many of the court officials and would be tied tightly to the new emperor's boat in the future. If anything went wrong, others would probably be eager to pull him down.
In the court, even though the emperor is the supreme ruler, the people below him always have their own little thoughts, and sometimes the emperor has to be shackled by others.
He had walked this road once.
This time, he clearly had a safer way, but he still chose this path.
Gu Yushi knew what she was talking about. His eyes lit up slightly and he asked, "Are you worried about me?"
Feng Wenyu was speechless. She glared at him angrily:
"What's going on in your head all day?"
She used to think that she was too full of love and was a little pretentious, but now it seems that she is not the only one who feels that way.
She was talking to him about serious matters, but he could still divert her attention to romantic matters.
The corners of Gu Yushi's lips lifted slightly, and he managed to suppress it before he whispered:
"This is the fastest way."
Feng Wenyu frowned. He was only twenty-three years old this year. Among the court officials, he was frighteningly young. Even if he just endured it, he could outlast all his political enemies!
Why is he in such a hurry?
Gu Yushi looked at her deeply and said, "The situation will inevitably be turbulent in the next two years. I must seize the right to speak as quickly as possible."
Not having a say means being at the mercy of others.
By that time, just wanting peace will be a pipe dream.
Indifferent to fame and fortune?
The Shen family was indifferent to fame and fortune back then, but they had no power. When they were plotted against, what else could they do except be forced to accept their fate?
Feng Wenyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In the past two years?
Is Emperor Wenyuan's health still in such a bad state?
Gu Yushi said to her, "Tell my second brother not to leave the capital again."
After saying this, Gu Yushi felt a little regretful:
"Last year, my second brother should have taken part in the palace examination."
The emperor wants to form a team for the crown prince, and he must select them from the existing officials. Feng Wenzhou has not yet entered the officialdom, so he has no chance.
He was called "Second Brother" left and right. Feng Wenyu was frightened and at a loss for words.
Feng Wenyu didn't feel sorry. She didn't care about state affairs, but she wasn't completely insensitive.
"Even if my second brother participated last year, he wouldn't have gotten a good grade."
My second brother is not yet an adult.
Just for this reason, some court officials would bring up his age and think that he was not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility. Secondly, Feng Wenyu also knew very well that the Feng family could never be more prosperous than it is now.
Even if my second brother entered the officialdom, His Majesty would not consider him when forming a team to be the crown prince.
There is no other reason, my grandfather was already the prime minister of a dynasty.
By tying the Feng family to the future emperor's ship, how many generations of power does the Feng family want to maintain? Will there be a Feng Ban Dynasty in the future?
These will all be factors that His Majesty will consider, so the Feng family cannot move forward and may even need some political enemies.
Instead of taking risks now, it is better to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne and everything is ready to be rebuilt before trying another chance.
Gu Yushi looked at her with a gleam in his eyes, which made Feng Wenyu puzzled:
"Look at what I'm doing."
Gu Yushi seemed to laugh and said, "Nothing."
He boasted:
"Ayu is smart."
Feng Wenyu felt embarrassed by what she said. She muttered, "Stop flattering me."
Feng Wenyu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and walked faster and faster. When he saw that they were about to enter the backyard, Gu Yushi also stopped. A moon-shaped door separated the two of them.
Suddenly, Feng Wenyu stopped, turned around and said:
"Gu Yushi, no matter what you do, remember—"
Gu Yushi almost said at the same time as her: "Be safe."
There was silence for a moment, and the two looked at each other.
His eyes were so scorching that Feng Wenyu was afraid to look at him. She suddenly remembered that year when Gu Yushi was demoted and no matter whether he was suppressing bandits or balancing the situation, there was always danger. She had no way to help him and could only tell him nervously every time to remember to stay safe.
Feng Wenyu pursed her lips, wondering absentmindedly how he could still remember it.
******
It was not until early May that the uproar caused by the Lu Minxing incident gradually subsided.
Feng Wenyu learned that Lu Feiran had been sent away, and the imperial grandson had been brought back. He was brought back, but was confined in the former prince's mansion. The former prince was demoted, and the imperial grandson is now just a commoner.
It is obvious that Emperor Wenyuan is aware of his physical condition and will not allow the situation to deteriorate further.
Feng Wenyu confirmed that the incident was over because of an invitation.
Princess Shou sent an invitation to a banquet for the female relatives in the capital. Feng Wenyu saw that the invitation meant to hold a Cuju banquet to wash away the bad luck that had been in the capital recently.
Who doesn’t know how popular Prince Shou is?
Princess Shou personally hosted the banquet and no one dared to refuse.
Feng Wenyu would not refuse. After she got the invitation, she went to find Zhou Yueyu. Zhou Yueyu took a look and understood:
"I'm just inviting you unmarried girls to have some fun."
These young men and women are full of youthful vigor and ambition, and are the best at livening up the atmosphere.
Zhou Yueyu did not delay either. She asked the embroiderer to measure Feng Wenyu's body and make two sets of riding clothes before the Cuju Banquet.
The Cuju Banquet was held at the horse farm of Prince Shou’s Mansion.
When Feng Wenyu arrived, she found that the horse farm had been decorated everywhere. She also saw Jiang Zhilan, who was dressed as a woman, elegant and gentle, and waved at her.
Feng Wenyu walked over quickly. She was dressed in riding clothes today, looking beautiful and bright:
"Why are you wearing this, sister?"
Jiang Zhilan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm already married, so of course I can't act like you guys anymore."
Feng Wenyu paused and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
Marriage is a hurdle. After a man’s wedding, he becomes an adult in the eyes of outsiders and is capable of taking on big responsibilities.
The same is true for women. After their wedding, they are no longer the juniors in the family. Especially the mistresses of high-ranking families care most about the word "respect". It is impossible for them to attend such a Cuju banquet in person. If they lose their composure and it gets out, they will become a laughing stock.
Jiang Zhilan whispered to her:
"I heard that Princess Shou has prepared gifts, so remember to get a good ranking."
Now she is the Princess of Shou, and in the future she will be the mother of a country. These noble families know this well, and before they leave, they must have taught their children about it.
Feng Wenyu had no choice but to part ways with Jiang Zhilan.
She was a little distressed. If Jiang Zhilan didn't come out, who would she team up with?
I had just walked to a place and saw two familiar people. Just as I was about to call them, I heard some discussions.
"...She's already broken off the engagement twice, how can she still have the nerve to go out?"
"If it were given to me, I would have been too embarrassed to see anyone."
The smile on Feng Wenyu's face disappeared. Jinshu and Shuyao also heard this and were immediately furious. Shuyao was even more angry and said, "I'll rip their mouths off!"
Not everyone is blind. Someone immediately coughed uncomfortably and moved away from the two people who were talking.
At the same time, Feng Wenyu also said calmly:
"Miss Qiu is curious about me?"
The two people who were talking froze all over, and after a long while, they turned their heads. When they saw her, the blood drained away from their faces in an instant.
Being caught talking about someone behind their back is embarrassing in itself.
Now this person is someone they cannot afford to offend. Miss Qiu was so frightened that her legs felt weak and her voice was shaking:
"Ms. Feng, Miss Feng..."
