Days and nights haunted by villains

Chapter 21

Gu Yuanzhi finally accepted the jade pendant from Zhu Huaining.

He originally planned to refuse, but when he remembered the plot of the original book, he finally accepted it.

Although I don't know what this little prince means, but Zhu Huaining is the protagonist after all, and the protagonist's halo is always available in the future.

Gu Yuanzhi thought that since Zhu Huaining had given the jade pendant, he would have to spend more time with his family, but he didn't see anyone for several days.

On the contrary, Xu Ye walked around more. Every time he came out of the Imperial Academy, he went straight to Gu's residence without returning home.

"Don't panic far away. With your aptitude and Commander Gu's position in the emperor's heart, it should be good after you go back." Xu Ye and Gu Yuanzhi walked into the house side by side. He didn't invite the other party to Rongde Building, he just drank a cup of green tea at the other party's home.

Gu Yuanzhi didn't think it was a bad thing for Ding You to go home after throwing away his official post, he just smiled and said, "Why should I panic, but how are you doing in the Imperial Academy?"

"It's pretty good. If I do well in compiling the book this time, I think I can do something else." Xu Ye is not tired of compiling the book, but feels that it takes a lot of time, so it's not good to ask him to come out to see Gu Yuanzhi, who is at home with Ding You That's all.

Gu Yuanzhi didn't notice what was wrong with Xu Ye, he just nodded and congratulated him in advance.

"I heard that you made the emperor angry a few days ago?" Xu Ye had a gentle smile on his face, but he asked this question after deliberating for a while.

Gu Yuan was startled, and glanced at the other party without denying it.

Seeing that Gu Yuanzhi didn't deny it, Xu Ye smiled a little, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, the emperor has that temper, you just ignore him in the future."

I have heard of people pleasing the emperor in order to seek a future, but I have never heard of people ignoring the emperor.

Gu Yuanzhi instantly felt that something was wrong with the other party, but he couldn't see what made him feel weird.

This sounds strange, but it is not very strange to speak ill of your boss in front of your friends.

It is not completely incomprehensible in modern society.

It's just weird in ancient times.

"Jin Yiwei is the emperor's Jin Yiwei. When I return to Jin Yiwei in three years, I can't really ignore him." Gu Yuanzhi frowned and said this hesitantly.

Xu Ye's smile froze, but he still smiled and said, "Three years later, that will be three years later. It's okay for you to ignore him right now."

"Yeah, that's right." Gu Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, recalling how he got along with Jiang Yu in the past, and recalling what he heard that night, his heart ached, and when he came to his senses, he had already agreed.

Left and right were just a private conversation between the two, Gu Yuanzhi didn't take it to heart.

Anyway, if Jiang Yu summoned him one day, it was impossible for him not to go.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation that night, a Jinyi guard was reporting to Jiang Yu what the Gu family had heard today.

"Your Majesty, after Editor Xu finished speaking, Mr. Gu agreed."

Jin Yiwei felt the piercingly chilly eyes on him, as if he was about to be dragged out of the court in the next moment, even Jin Yiwei was under high pressure every day, and he couldn't bear Jiang Yu's gaze.

I don't know how Mr. Gu lived under Jiang Yu's high pressure in the past.

But Jiang Yu asked Jin Yiwei to pay attention to Gu Yuanzhi, and it was not like this when facing him.

The guard in Jinyi guessed, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face, he just acted like he was doing business and waiting for the emperor's order.

"Is there anything else? I know that Jinyiwei is under the control of Gu Ting now, and you and Gu Yuanzhi are quite familiar, but it's best not to let me know that you have something to hide." Jiang Yu's face is full of understanding. With a creepy smile, he asked in a cold voice.

Most of Jin Yiwei understood Jiang Yu's temper, and knew that the other party was out of breath at this time, so he quickly said that there was nothing else.

Hearing Jin Yiwei's reassurance that there was no more, Jiang Yu just waved his hand and let him go, keeping Xu Ye's incident in mind.

Gu Yuanzhi's time at home gradually passed for half a year. During this period, Xu Ye went from coming to Gu's residence almost every day to not necessarily coming back once a week.

At first, Gu Yuanzhi thought it was a bit strange, but when Xu Ye came to ask him a casual question, he realized that the Imperial Academy has been busy recently.

"What can the Imperial Academy be busy with? It's so busy." Gu Yuanzhi pushed the dim sum plate towards Xu Ye and asked with a smile.

Xu Ye sighed. The person who is usually as gentle as jade looks like jade covered with dust today, looking exhausted.

He said: "The emperor said that the revision of the book was not good, and asked us to do it again, but he only gave us a few more days, and did not give us more time, so the Imperial Academy is rushing to repair the book these days."

"It turned out to be like this." The smile on Gu Yuanzhi's face faded, and he had a guess in his heart, but he felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

Life is not a novel, Jiang Yu knows what he can say.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanzhi also threw that guess aside.

"Look at the emperor's unpredictable temperament, you must be careful when you go back in the future, don't ask him to punish you severely." Xu Ye had a wry smile on his face, and sighed after saying this, "It's our fault, repair His book has dissatisfied the emperor, so he hastened to rewrite it just now."

"I know your ability, maybe he was angry with some speech officer today, don't take it to heart." Gu Yuanzhi listened to the other party's words, and comforted him a few words.

After that, the two didn't talk about Jiang Yu any more, they just chatted about something else.Since Xu Ye wanted to go back, he didn't stay for too long. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, he got up and said goodbye.

This night, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was Jin Yiwei who was reporting Gu Yuanzhi's affairs to Jiang Yu again.

Jiang Yu had a smile on her face, wondering if killing Xu Ye would make Gu Yuanzhi unhappy.

His Gu Yuanzhi is very soft-hearted and doesn't like him killing people randomly.

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Jiang Yu put away his smile, pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said to Jin Yiwei: "Although he was also born in martial arts, some people have been restless these days. You should do your best to protect him."

It's not easy for Jin Yiwei to secretly protect someone. When Jin Yiwei heard this, he understood Gu Yuanzhi's position in Jiang Yu's heart, and knelt down to accept this task.

A few days later, Gu Yuanzhi heard that Xu Ye was demoted to the Zhenyuan Mansion. The reason was that he was not serious about compiling books and was not qualified for the position of editor. Why not go out and practice for a while.

Gu Yuanzhi: ...

Too coincidental to have to doubt.

Due to too much coincidence, Gu Yuanzhi went to the palace with his waist card, but was stopped outside the palace gate.

"Master Gu, it's not that we don't let you in, it's because the emperor has ordered that if he sees you, don't try to intercede for others." The imperial guard guarding the city gate said Jiang Yu's order to Gu Yuanzhi with a compensatory smile, and listened. Gu Yuanzhi's face darkened.

Sure enough, Jiang Yu knew what he said in private.

There are two Jinyiwei in my family, and one of them is the head of Jinyiwei. He didn't know until today that Jinyiwei was hiding in his house and was watching him.

If he could enter the palace, Gu Yuanzhi would have to question Jiang Yu even at the risk of being caught by the imperial staff, but now he can't even enter, and when he can enter, his anger will almost dissipate.

Without being angry, Gu Yuanzhi dared not disobey Jiang Yu openly.

And if this kind of thing drags on for a long time, it's easy to be said why you didn't get angry at the time. I think Jiang Yu just left this way for himself to argue with him.

Of course, Jiang Yu, an emperor, doesn't need to argue with him.

The more Gu Yuanzhi thought about it, the more unhappy he became, he turned and left without looking back.

Only the imperial guards were left looking at each other, muttering in a low voice, didn't the emperor say that Mr. Gu would definitely ask to enter the palace to see him, and he would be released after the second time.

As a result, he only mentioned entering the palace once, and didn't intend to mention it at all the second time. This made the imperial guards very worried, and they didn't know how to report back to Jiang Yu.

Gu Yuanzhi rode back to Wanping County. He knew that Jin Yiwei must be with him, but he didn't know who the other party was, let alone where he was hiding.

He just got off his horse at the gate of Gu Mansion, handed the reins to the young man, and went straight back to his room.

After driving all the servant girls out of this yard, Gu Yuanzhi said to whom with a cold face: "Come out, I know you are here."

The person hiding in the dark hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go out or not.

"Jin Yiwei, he used to be a colleague. Give me face. Or did the emperor issue a death order and let me find out that you all have to die?"

Seeing that no one came out, Gu Yuanzhi laughed angrily and tried to speak out again, to see if he could get someone to come out to see him.

As soon as the words fell, I heard two people coming in from outside.

He was not wearing the blue and green embroidered clothes of Jinyiwei, nor the scarlet robes of the upper class, but just ordinary-looking clothes, presumably to facilitate camouflage among the crowd.

"Mr. Gu, don't be angry. The emperor just knew that the court is not peaceful these days, so he wanted to ask me to wait to protect you." Said the older Jin Yiwei.

Gu Yuanzhi sneered, looked at the other party, and asked, "Spy on me along the way?"

"Young Master Gu misunderstood, the emperor has no other intentions, he just wants to know what you usually do." The elder Jin Yiwei quickly explained.

Gu Yuanzhi sneered again, but before he spoke this time, he heard the young Jin Yiwei say, "Can this be misunderstood? If the emperor wants to deal with you, when Xu Ye first gossiped about the emperor, you two People's heads should fall to the ground, how can we wait until today?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuanzhi's eyes froze, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the young Jin Yiwei, and sneered: "Go back and tell him, I don't need Jin Yiwei's protection."

The two guards in Jinyi didn't speak after listening, and seeing Gu Yuanzhi pretending to be chasing the guests, they had no choice but to go back and report the matter to Jiang Yu.

"He has always been smart, so there is no need to go in the future."

Jiang Yu listened to Jin Yiwei's report, paused for approval of the memorial, and withdrew the order with a sigh.

Gu Yuanzhi will be back in about three years, and he is not in a hurry.

As for the fact that someone wants to do something to Gu Yuanzhi, Jiang Yu is not afraid.

Anyway, before they do anything to Gu Yuanzhi, they should get rid of everyone first, then there will be no problem.

However, sometimes things don't go as smoothly as people imagined.

In the autumn of the second year of Gu Yuanzhi's filial piety period, Gu Ting suddenly contracted a serious illness and couldn't survive that winter.

The author has something to say:

The little man is a single arrow, all male supporting roles are single arrows, and he will never return to the arrow if he is far away
