"Achen, open your eyes and look at your mother."
Jiang Yu's cheerful voice came from inside the room, while Gu Lin stood to the side with a dark face. He suddenly felt that A Yu had encountered a little trouble.
Gu Qingyan was already troublesome enough, and now another one has come along to distract Ayu. Gu Lin suddenly had an urge to get rid of Gu Qingchen.
The thought that Gu Qingyan had come to "wake him up" early this morning after court made him furious.
Jiang Yu, however, did not notice the dark-faced Gu Lin at all. Both Gu Lin and Gu Qingyan were focused on the newly born Gu Qingchen.
"Mother, I feel like A-Chen changes every day."
Gu Qingyan affectionately touched Gu Qingchen's little face, "When he was first born, he was so red and ugly, but now he's quite fair and tender."
“Ayan is right.” Jiang Yu’s heart melted. “I heard that Achen opened his eyes and looked at you yesterday.”
At this, Gu Qingyan's face immediately lit up with a smug little expression, "Achen knows that I am his elder brother, so he is greeting me!"
"This little guy, only a few days old, already knows you're his older brother?"
Gu Lin's voice rang out, like a bucket of cold water poured over Gu Qingyan's head.
“Father, I read to Achen almost every day before he was born. How could he not recognize me? Father, you should be worried about when Achen will recognize you!”
Before Gu Lin could say anything, Gu Qingyan teased Gu Qingchen, muttering, "Achen, do you think what your brother said is right?"
"you!"
“Why bother arguing with a child?” Jiang Yu was clearly starting to take sides. “Now is the time to take down the Pei family. You should do your best to help me get revenge.”
Gu Lin held his breath and gave Gu Qingyan a deep look before heading towards the military camp.
The atmosphere in the room clearly did not change in the slightest because of someone's departure.
"Mother, Achen has opened his eyes again!"
"Really? My dear A-Chen, Mother, your eyes are so beautiful!"
Outside, Wanji glanced in the direction Gu Lin had left, and listening to the laughter and chatter inside, he silently felt sorry for Gu Lin.
The retired emperor is actually quite pitiful!
......
Meanwhile, Jiang He quietly left the Dingyuan Marquis's residence and entered the palace, but not to Zhaoning Palace or Taihe Hall.
"Miss, Marquis Dingyuan is outside the door."
Qin Ke'er, who was lost in thought, paused when she heard the maid's words, "Marquis Dingyuan?"
The next second, Qin Ke'er seemed to have completely realized what was happening. She rushed out and stood in front of Jiang He: "My lord, has there been any new development?"
Jiang He shook his head upon hearing this.
"Miss Qin, there's something I didn't tell you last time."
Upon hearing Jiang He's words, Qin Ke'er's eyes narrowed sharply. "Something happened to the Qin family's secret guards?"
She knew that they were the most elite group of people in the Qin family.
"No one knows the specifics now, but it is highly likely that the losses were heavy." Jiang He clasped his hands together. "Miss Qin, I, Jiang He, hereby make a promise that for every Qin family guard lost, my Dayu will transfer one guard to the Qin family."
"No need."
Qin Ke'er's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Jiang He. "Those people were there to protect you and General Ling. As long as you and General Ling are safe and sound, their mission is complete."
"Thank you for informing me, Your Excellency."
After a few breaths, Jiang He was at a loss for how to respond to Qin Ke'er.
Qin Ke'er returned to the courtyard with a smile, but the moment she turned around, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
inside the house.
“Miss, those are all elites carefully trained by the head of the family.”
"I know." Qin Ke'er's eyes were still red. "Things have come to this point. I will not agree to Marquis Dingyuan's promise. Only then will their deaths have more value."
"More valuable?" The maid clearly didn't understand what Qin Ke'er meant.
"As long as Dayu doesn't forget them, the Qin family won't fall to the same state as the Pei family." Qin Ke'er clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She now hoped that the Qin family could live peacefully with Dayu, just like the Yun family.
She admires Ling Ku, and is also a descendant of the Qin family.
......
Longyou.
Pei Ju's collapse and unconsciousness threw the entire Pei family into chaos. All the best doctors in the Pei family came to check Pei Ju's pulse, but all of them turned pale.
"This...this young master's poison is extremely rare; we were unable to detect it for a while."
"Please, everyone, see if you can detoxify the young master. If he remains unconscious... and the patriarch is in seclusion, the Pei family may be in grave danger."
However, upon hearing this, the doctors shook their heads, their expressions becoming even more complicated.
"If the young master were here, the problem could be solved."
After an elderly man with gray hair uttered these words, everyone present fell silent, seemingly hesitant to mention Pei Zhi.
"Young Master once refined a medicine that can cure all poisons in the world. You can go to Young Master's courtyard to take a look..." The old man sighed. Of course, if Young Master were here, he could cure the young master's poison without that antidote.
When the guard returned from Pei Zhi's courtyard looking dejected, the expressions of everyone present turned rather sour.
"When the young master left, he took all the medicine with him."
They didn't even take their hairpins, jewelry, or precious stones; all they took was the medicine.
"In that case, there is nothing more I can do."
Sometimes, a person's fate is predetermined from the very beginning.
Just then, the elite troops of Dayu arrived in Longyou.
With almost no effort, they broke through the city gates of Longyou. Chang Qing, who was leading the troops, raised his long sword high and said, "Soldiers, if we take Longyou, the Emperor will surely reward us handsomely. But remember, we must not harm the Qin family's secret guards, nor the people of Longyou."
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The thunderous roar seemed to make the entire Longyou region tremble. Chang Qing's eyes turned bloodshot as he thought of the good deeds Pei Jian had done.
In less than half an hour, Chang Qing was already standing outside the Pei residence.
"Men, break down the door!"
A few breaths later, the gates of the Pei family mansion were also smashed open, and all the servants, big and small, fled in all directions. When Chang Qing saw the unconscious Pei Ju, he suddenly laughed loudly.
"Did your young master faint after going to the study?"
"You! How did you know!" The guards tightly shielded Pei Ju behind them. "Don't you dare harm our young master, or our patriarch will not let you off the hook."
"Pei Jian? He can't even protect himself now."
Chang Qing's mocking voice slapped the Pei family members in the face like a blow: "Those who resist will be killed on the spot. As for your young master, this is called reaping what he sowed."
When the Marquis took away the mother Gu, he let it crawl over the hidden weapon, so the weapon naturally had the mother Gu's venom on it. Now that Pei Ju is poisoned, isn't that another kind of deserved punishment?
