Ever since the last accounting fraud incident was clarified, Gu Yanyue's restaurant business has become more and more prosperous, and she is currently very busy.
Besides, Xiao Wu, who had a tendency towards violence, was completely afraid of Gu Yanyue. Every time they met, he would lower his head and cheer respectfully. As for his violent tendencies, they were completely eradicated by Gu Yanyue. He began to work steadily, keeping in mind the saying "the customer is God".
After a busy morning, Gu Yanyue finally returned to the palace to rest. She fell directly on her big bed, but before she had rested for a moment, someone came to see her again.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door, and Gu Yanyue had no choice but to get out of her bed and open the door with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, why are you coming to my palace?" Gu Yanyue was stunned.
There seems to be no one else around Yu Wenran. Did someone come to see her in person again?
Could something have happened again?
"Let's go in first."
Yuwen Ran entered the room, sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Yuwen Luo came to see me today and talked about you."
"About me? What could possibly happen between him and me?" When Gu Yanyue heard that it was about herself, she couldn't help but think of Gu Yanrou who had just been released.
At this moment, Gu Yanrou must have said something to him. In the original owner's memory, Yu Wenluo has always had a crush on Gu Yanrou, and he must have come to disgust her at this time.
"He did this for Gu Yanrou. He even spread rumors that Gu Yanrou was wronged and said he wanted to seek justice for her." Yu Wenran's expression was solemn, for he was afraid that he would really do something that would be detrimental to both himself and Gu Yanyue.
"What justice? They are clearly trying to cover up Gu Yanrou's guilt. The evidence is there, what else is there to say?" Gu Yanyue said disdainfully.
This Yuwen Luo is really a bad guy!
Gu Yanrou is confusing right and wrong for a woman. She will definitely be a beauty that brings disaster in the future. If she really gets favored, she will undoubtedly be a disaster for the country and the people.
"But I always feel that he is going to do something. He is now colluding with Gu Yanrou. I am afraid that Prime Minister Gu has also colluded with him. The two of them are conspiring to rebel." Yu Wenran frowned, his face looking sad.
If what he said is true, then we are in big trouble.
"Listen, you must put the country first no matter what. But if something unavoidable requires sacrificing me, please be decisive. I am willing to sacrifice myself for you." Gu Yanyue said firmly, with a firm look in his eyes.
But Yuwen Ran immediately refused when he heard it: "No, it's impossible, I will never sacrifice you!"
Gu Yanyue grabbed his shoulders, her expression serious, not giving him any chance to refuse. "Listen, I know I'm important to you, and Jiangshan is important too, but if you have to choose between me and Jiangshan, you must choose Jiangshan! The overall situation is the most important thing. I, Gu Yanyue, understand these principles and will not be a disaster!"
Yuwen Ran frowned, some unknown emotions revealed in his eyes: "But I don't want to lose you, and I won't lose you."
"I am the emperor, I can protect you!"
…
I thought the matter was over, and Yuwen Luo had stopped moving. I wondered what he was planning.
But a few days later, Prime Minister Gu led his troops and surrounded the outside of the palace. He said that he had something to tell His Majesty and asked him to come to see him immediately.
But this posture clearly showed that they were going to declare war on Yuwen Ran. At a glance, the soldiers were densely packed and their cold weapons were so sharp that they reflected light. Prime Minister Gu also looked very interested and it didn't look like he was here to talk to Yuwen Ran.
"What!? He brought the soldiers to the imperial city? Is he planning a rebellion?" Yu Wenran slammed the table hard, then held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.
It seems that Yuwen Luo has really colluded with Prime Minister Gu. Yuwen Luo's joining makes Prime Minister Gu's rebellion more legitimate, so the old fox can't hold it back anymore.
The eunuch who delivered the message slowly withdrew. Gu Yanyue pushed open the door and walked in with a serious expression: "A Ran, the army coming to the palace is no joke. The most important thing right now is to find out what Prime Minister Gu is trying to do."
Yu Wenran enjoyed the comfort of her stroking his head, closed his eyes, and his heart suddenly calmed down: "Well, thank you, A Yue..."
After some thought, the two decided to stay put and wait and see to avoid making the wrong decision.
"Your Majesty, are you still unwilling to come out to see me? Are you afraid of something? Or do you not take me seriously?" Prime Minister Gu frowned and shouted angrily, insisting that the emperor come to see him.
Gu Yanyue looked at the situation below the city and warned Yuwen Ran not to act rashly. It was obvious that Prime Minister Gu came prepared, with a confident look on his face. It was very likely that he had colluded with Yuwen Luo and was really difficult to deal with!
"What's going on with you? I have something to tell the emperor. Why haven't you come to see me yet? Besides, what's the point of closing the city gates? Do you think I'm a rebel?" Prime Minister Gu raised his eyebrows and shouted unhappily.
Yuwen Ran sent a message: "The emperor is busy and cannot come. Please ask Prime Minister Gu to withdraw his troops and visit Prime Minister Gu another day!"
"What? Something's on your mind? Another day? Your Majesty, do you still dare not give face to this Prime Minister at this point? Don't play these little tricks on me. If you don't come out, don't blame me for attacking!" Prime Minister Gu didn't buy Yuwen Ran's words at all and said bluntly that he wanted to break down the city gate.
The situation was not optimistic. Yu Wenran and Gu Yanyue were extremely anxious and didn't know what to do...
"What should we do? He's clearly planning a rebellion, but we can't confront him head-on. What should we do?"
At this time, Yu Wenran was extremely anxious and his brain was working fast, but he could not think of any solution.
"Ah! By the way, I know someone who can help us!" Gu Yanyue suddenly said excitedly, with an unconcealable joy on her face, as if she had found a savior.
"Ayue, do you have any idea?"
Gu Yanyue smiled and said, "We can go find Concubine Su's brother, General Su. In this situation, only the Su family has the military and power to compete with the Gu family. Moreover, in order to check and balance the Gu family, we have already increased the Su family's power, both openly and secretly. Now the Su family is the only one who can help us."
"But are you sure General Su will send troops to help us?" Yuwen Ran asked.
"General Su can only help us," Gu Yanyue smiled. "Aran, the edifice is about to collapse, and one person alone cannot support it. If Prime Minister Gu were to divide the land and crown himself king, the first to be targeted would surely be our old rival, the Su family. So, even if it's just to protect himself, General Su would definitely send troops to defend the palace."
Yu Wenran looked at her and actually revealed a feeling of unconditional trust in her.
