Coincidence? Gu Yuanyuan didn't believe it.

However, it is still unknown whether it was He Yun who caught him or he led him there.

A prime minister has such power in Qi State.

Although Gu Yuan had never been to Kyoto before, there were still remnants of the Yin family causing trouble in Liuzhou.

Will He Yun become the second Yin family?

"Don't look at me like that. I was born in a poor family. I have spent my life speaking for the people and helping the Lord. I have not changed my original intention until now."

"But what you are doing now is not what an ambitious person would do."

"Pleading for the people? You dare to say that? These days I've only seen your spies everywhere."

"Sharing the Lord's worries? Who is your Lord? Is he from Qi?"

This is a direct question to him whether he has committed treason.

Gu Ming pulled Gu Yuan's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

But Gu Yuan remained unmoved and did not flinch when faced with He Yun's cold gaze.

After a long while, He Yun looked away and said, "I didn't commit treason. My master is from Qi."

"Who is he?"

"No comment."

After saying that, He Yun pushed open the door and left without looking back.

"Sir," He Yun nodded when he met De Yuhe who had just finished washing up to show his greeting.

Yu He looked at He Yun's expression, then looked at the two people standing in the corridor, "What did you say to the adults?"

Gu Yuan was startled. He was pressing on so hard that he forgot that Yu He was on He Yun's side.

He hurried over, "I just want to ask him who he is working for."

Yuhe frowned, "Is that what you should ask?"

Gu Yuan's expression froze, "I just..."

"What is it?" Yu He's anger grew even stronger. "Since you don't believe that adults will help you, why did you come to Kyoto with me?"

"You don't believe him and you don't believe me!"

"I didn't." During the journey, Yu He tried to ask questions so the two of them became more familiar with each other.

But later on, she found that Gu Yuan had been keeping the things tightly covered, so Yu He gave up the idea of ​​asking him questions.

"Forget it," Yu He smiled bitterly, "We just met by chance and suddenly said we want to help you. It's normal for you not to believe us. Just take care of yourself."

After saying that, Yuhe also left.

Gu Yuan looked at Yu He's back, holding the pendant around his neck but still lacking the courage to chase after her.

For several days, no one in the court mentioned the matter of Liuzhou.

For some reason, the queen seems to be quite favored these days.

In the past, even if His Majesty favored a concubine, he would never miss court for several days.

He Yun handled all the affairs in the court.

Ever since the emperor's birthday banquet, there have been some rumors outside.

It was said that the Fourth Prince had dementia, and that he was traumatized by witnessing the murder of Concubine Yin.

Now, His Majesty's only sons left are the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince.

Both of them are related to the Yin family. Although Prime Minister Yin is dead, the Yin family still exists.

If one of these two men ascends the throne, the Yin family will probably rise again.

After leaving court, He Yun seemed not to notice the things piled at his door and pushed the door open directly.

"I'm back," Lu Yue suddenly wanted to make a pair of shoes for He Yun these days, and was now learning how to sew the soles.

Neither of them mentioned those things outside. Ever since His Majesty neglected state affairs, this was the countless times that he had received gifts from officials.

"Li Han came to see me," Lu Yue broke the silence, "How are you going to deal with those two people?"

He Yun sighed, "I have learned what happened from Xu Mu. The Tenth Prince did all this just to get that position."

Lu Yue stopped what she was doing and said worriedly, "Should we do it as soon as possible?"

He Yunchen thought for a moment and said, "No hurry, wait a little longer."

"Oh, right," Lu Yue suddenly remembered, "The Eighth Prince has delivered something. He's outside."

He Yun sneered when he heard this, "Zhi Tao said that His Majesty is ill."

"It seems that they have also received the news."

"Based on his temper, I guess he will call me into the palace soon."

To be honest, He Yun hasn't seen His Majesty for several days.

This is against common sense. Your Majesty trusts He Yun. It can be said that Your Majesty would feel uncomfortable if he didn't see He Yun for a day.

It would be fine if this was really about being intimate with the Queen, but unfortunately, Zhitao took the opportunity to send out a letter, "Your Majesty is seriously ill."

"Okay," He Yun stretched and stood up from the recliner, "I'll go meet them."

As he said this, he looked at Lu Yue with a smile, "If there is an order from the palace, just say that I went to the bookstore."

Almost everyone in Kyoto knew that Prime Minister He liked to go to the bookstore in the south of the city.

There were even quite a few officials who ran there to meet him by chance, but few were successful.

On the way, He Yun took a detour to Baiweizhai and "bought" some fresh pastries.

"Oh, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

When He Yun arrived, Gu Yuan and Gu Ming were lying on lounge chairs basking in the sun.

Gu Yuan looked unhappy when he saw He Yun. He brought them to Kyoto and just ignored them.

Fortunately, he had some conscience and arranged for someone to bring them food, otherwise they would have become beggars in this unfamiliar place.

He Yun put the paper bag in his hand on the table, pushed Gu Ming away and lay down.

Gu Ming was angry but dared not say anything, he could only hide behind Gu Yuan.

"I may not have time to take care of you in the future. Kyoto is going to be in chaos."

He Yun looked at Gu Yuan and said with a grim expression.

Gu Yuan clenched his fists, "Then let us out, and we will find a way to file a complaint in Jingzhao Prefecture."

They had tried to go out during this period, but were caught and brought back halfway.

"Impossible," He Yun said in an unquestionable tone, "You will be chopped into pieces before you even reach Jingzhao Prefecture."

Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what do you want us to do?"

He Yun looked at the irritable Gu Yuan and shook his head, "The Tenth Prince took the money to raise his own soldiers."

Gu Yuan reacted and his face turned pale in an instant.

He Yun looked at Gu Yuan's expression and said, "It seems you understand what I mean."

"You want to find where he hides his troops?"

"Of course," He Yun rubbed his brows, "I've been busy with this for the past few days."

Gu Yuan pursed his lips. "The world is so big, how do you find it? Do you have any clues?"

He Yunkeng snorted, "This is something we adults should worry about."

"However," He Yun said before Gu Yuan lost his temper, "If you want to go out, it's not impossible."

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, "Then what should I do?"

He Yun smiled and said, "Go to the bookstore and work as a waiter. Find out some information for me."

"Why?" This question was asked by Gu Ming.

"I want to know who's on the same page as me."

He Yun took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "Besides, you are the cousin of Mr. Chen. You are acting like this for free, do you really want to eat and drink for free?"

Gu Yuan looked at He Yun and nodded after a long while. "Okay, we promise you, but we have one condition."

"What conditions?" He Yun asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You cannot commit treason. The Tenth Prince cannot become the Crown Prince."

He Yun smiled upon hearing this and said, "I never committed treason in the first place, and I can tell you clearly that the Tenth Prince will never become the Crown Prince."
