Chapter 180 Lantern Festival

Of course the emperor couldn't do anything to Yu Chi. Although it is said that the land of the world belongs to the king and the people of the world are the king's subjects, Yu Chi is not a fool. He would not run

away even if he sat there waiting for the emperor to chop off his head. Not to mention that Mu Bailinfeng was standing outside the emperor's bedroom. Even if there was no Mu Bailinfeng, Yu Chi could still escape with his own strength, although it was not easy.

Gu Wuhui came to Mo Xueju tonight. The first thing was to send Gu Wushang here. The second thing was about the Lantern Festival banquet in the palace.

The emperor was "seriously ill" before, but now he is better. He has to let everyone see him and tell others that he is not dead and is alive and well.

It was just that Gu Wuyuan was particularly active during the Lantern Festival, trying to make himself felt in front of the emperor, and took charge of the inspections around the banquet.

In the past, Gu Wuyuan would never rush to do anything if he could do nothing, but now, was it because the sun was rising from the west or something, Gu Wuhui felt a little uneasy.

Because he found out that Gu Wuyuan brought someone with him to the Lantern Festival banquet, and that person, Gu Wuhui was not very familiar with, but he was definitely not a stranger.

He and Yu Hexi had met a Tatar when they were at the border.

Or to be more precise, a Tatar general.

"I have a feeling that Gu Wuyuan will rebel on the Lantern Festival."

Gu Wuhui rubbed Gu Wushang's head. Gu Wushang just smacked his lips and fell asleep in Gu Jue's arms.

He didn't want Gu Wushang to be involved in these disputes, but he didn't really want to sit in that position. Everything was out of helplessness.

Yu Hexi had given up her beloved freedom by marrying him. If he really became the emperor, Yu Hexi would become a bird in a cage, and the harem would become her prison.

It was wrong not to give Yu Hexi absolute freedom, but how could he break her wings?

In fact, he had thought of everything. Gu Wushang was his last trump card.

"I have asked Jiyue Pavilion to investigate how many Tatars are entrenched in Shangjing, and when did Gu Wuyuan start to have contact with the Tatars."

Yu Chi raised his eyes, and the flickering candlelight was reflected in his red eyes. He should not have been involved in these struggles, but for what he wanted to do, he had to wade into this turmoil.

His eyes fell on Gu Wuhui, and after just one glance, he looked at the heavy snow outside the house.

Although he didn't know if he would succeed, he hoped he would not be disappointed.

Gu Wuhui: "How long will it take to get the specific news?"

Yu Chi: "It will take at least two days."

It is not easy to investigate the news. Two days is the limit for all the people in Jiyue Pavilion in Shangjing to go out at the same time. There are too many things to trace.

From the time they got in touch, to their correspondence, to their plans, even though Jiyue Pavilion has a lot of information in the area of ​​intelligence, it is very time-consuming and laborious to investigate this information.

This is also the reason why the price required for each piece of information is different.

It was already late, and Gu Wuhui and Yu Hexi came here secretly. When they heard Yu Chi say this, they nodded.

"Okay, tell me when you have news. By the way..."

He just got up and was about to leave, but then he remembered it again.

"Are you with Gu Wuji?"

Yu Chi supported his head with his hand and looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Oh, I'm making some pocket money."

Gu Wuhui nodded, and asked him not to forget the news, and walked out with Yu Hexi. Just after taking a few steps, he turned back.

Yu Chi was speechless and glanced at him.

"What's the matter?"

Gu Wuhui: "Don't forget to come to the Lantern Festival."

Yu Chi frowned: "Then who should I go with?" Gu

Wuhui was stunned. Yu Chi was the one who turned against Gu Wuji. Now if he and Gu Wuji both came to find him, then it would be a problem for him to go with whom.

He pursed his lips and thought for a while, and finally said.

"Whatever."

Anyway, no matter who Yu Chi goes with, he will go.

Gu Jue was a little troubled for a while while holding Gu Wushang. Who should Gu Wushang sleep with?

He looked back at Yu Chi with some confusion.

"Ah Heng, how about we squeeze in?"

Yu Chi didn't respond to his words. Finally, he raised his hand to take Gu Wushang from Gu Jue and threw him into the next room.

He covered him with the quilt, came out, closed the door, told someone to watch inside, and went back to the room.

Gu Jue had just made the bed in the room and asked him when he came back.

"Where is Gu Wushang?"

Yu Chi said, "Next door."

Gu Jue: "Seven years old, sleeping alone?"

It was winter now. What if such a small child kicked off the quilt and got frozen?

Yu Chi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Someone is guarding it."

Gu Jue asked him, "Who?"

Yu Chi: "Tian Xuan."

Gu Jue: "???"

That cold-faced master?

It's really hard for him.

The next day, just as Yu Chi expected, Gu Wuji invited him to the Lantern Festival Banquet. As a doctor who cured the emperor, it was understandable for Yu Chi to go to the Lantern Festival Banquet.

But if he went like this, he would inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of some people.

He cured the emperor, which was a thorn in their eyes. If things went wrong, it would cost Yu Chi his life.

"So, do you plan to go with Gu Wuhui, or..."

Gu Wuji wanted Yu Chi to go with him from the bottom of his heart. Although Yu Chi had known Gu Wuhui for a longer time and Yu Chi had lied to him, he still had a little fantasy.

What if?

After all, it was he and Gu Wuhui who asked Yu Chi to treat the emperor. It might not make any difference to others who Yu Chi went with.

Yu Chi stroked the rim of the blue and white jade cup with his fingers, and listened to Gu Wuji's words without even raising his eyes.

"I'll go by myself."

Gu Wuji was about to tell Yu Chi that he should go with him, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Chi. He choked and didn't know what to say.

He had nothing to say, but Yu Chi did.

Yu Chi took a sip of tea from the cup and glanced at him casually.

"I heard that Concubine Wan will also attend the Lantern Festival banquet this time?"

Concubine Wan, Gu Wuhui's mother, was also the one who took good care of Gu Wuji.

Concubine Wan liked to be quiet and usually stayed at home in the palace. She was rarely seen on such occasions, and this time was very rare.

When Gu Wuji heard the four words "Concubine Wan", his body obviously stiffened. He pursed his lips, lowered his head, said nothing, and left after sitting for a while.

When leaving, he told Yu Chi not to forget to go to the Lantern Festival banquet.

Yu Chi looked at his back and chuckled. Gu Jue asked him what he was laughing at, and he said,

"Laughing at Gu Wuji."

Gu Jue followed his gaze and looked at Gu Wuji's figure. He walked farther and farther in the snow, his back gradually blurred, and finally disappeared in the snow, and could no longer be seen.

But he didn't see what was so funny about Gu Wuji?

"What's so funny?"

Yu Chi turned his body, approached Gu Jue, and stroked Gu Jue's face. His fingertips stroked the corners of Gu Jue's eyes, cheeks, and lips, and his eyes dimmed.

Gu Jue's lips were not sure if it was because of the cold weather or what, but they were cold, and the lips were bright red, which made them look particularly kissable.

Yu Chi looked at him twice, then moved his eyes away from Gu Jue's lips and looked into Gu Jue's eyes.

"He is not good enough, but not bad enough. He is caught in the middle and only increases his own pain. He wants to make Gu Wuhui suffer, but the one who is in the purest place in his heart is Gu Wuhui's mother."

This is the most contradictory part of Gu Wuji. He wants to take everything that Gu Wuhui has. When he was jealous, he listened to his mother and instigated Gu Wuyuan to poison Gu Wuhui. He

reduced the amount of poison for Gu Wuyuan himself, so Gu Wuhui was able to survive for so long and met Yu Chi.

He wanted Gu Wuhui to die, but was afraid that Concubine Wan would be sad, so he reduced the dosage of the medicine by half. In the end, he was doubting himself and wanted to question what he was doing.

Gu Wuji was the first to discover that Gu Wuhui had escaped from the marriage. He could have gone to the emperor to report Gu Wuhui, but he didn't.

Because Gu Wuhui's escape from the marriage was disobeying the emperor's order, and as the heirs of the emperor, they knew better than anyone the consequences of disobeying the emperor's order. Gu

Wuji was more evil

than Gu Wuhui. But Gu Wuji was kinder than

Gu Wuyuan. Gu Wuyuan had no scruples, but Gu Wuji always had Concubine Wan in his heart.
