Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

Father Wen took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty is wise. The Black Armor Army has been defending the northern border of Chu State, and General Gu has lived up to your Majesty's expectations and defeated the Chu Army. Great Zhou has a wise Majesty, and your Majesty has a loyal and brave General Gu. I'm afraid that Chu State will never dare to invade our Great Zhou State."

The emperor laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, what Minister Wen said makes sense." Wen's father's words reminded him.

I remembered the gossip the Queen told last night, about the close relationship between the Fifth Prince and the envoy of Chu State, and what the Fifth Prince had been doing recently.

The Fifth Prince and the envoy of Chu State were cooperating. They must have had different opinions and conflicts at the time, and then a conflict broke out. The envoy of Chu State was mistakenly killed in the conflict. This also explains why the Fifth Prince was at the scene where the envoy of Chu State was killed.

The fifth prince once slandered Gu Xici as the murderer of the Chu envoy, and now he spread rumors that are unfavorable to Gu Xici.

If he took away Gu Xici's military power or even imprisoned him, the one who would benefit the most would not be himself, but the State of Chu, which was forced to ask for peace after being beaten by Gu Xici. The State of Chu would certainly be happy to see Gu Xici giving up his military power with a toast.

Whether it was the military flag that Gu Xici had just taken out, or the plan of Chu State and the Fifth Prince, he needed to rethink how to treat Gu Xici.

"Okay, let's retreat."

The emperor waved his hand tiredly. It was not right to kill him, nor was it right not to kill him. What should he do with Gu Xici?

After dealing with some trivial matters related to the capital's public security, Gu Xici returned to the Gu Mansion listlessly. It had been a busy day. What would the Fifth Prince do next?

Wen Ning looked at Gu Xici with expectant eyes, humming some music with his mouth, and circled around Gu Xici without saying a word.

Gu Xici didn't want to disturb Wen Ning, so he gave him a way out: "What are you so happy about? Tell me."

“Ahem!” Wen Ning tried hard to suppress the smile on his face, “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me, like thank you or something?”

After all, she had helped Gu Xici a lot, and she was ready to be thanked profusely by Gu Xici.

"Huh?" Gu Xici didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop her from playing with Wen Ning. "Then I thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

Wen Ning heard Gu Xici's thanks and proudly puffed out his chest: "That's right. My father's words in the court today and the whispers of the imperial aunt last night have made His Majesty shift from suspecting you to suspecting the State of Chu. For the next period of time, you don't have to worry about His Majesty's suspicion of you at all."

"So that's how it is." After Wen Ning's reminder, Gu Xici guessed Wen Ning's plan. He didn't expect that he, who was usually quite stupid, could come up with such a conspiracy.

Although he could save the Gu family by taking out the military flag today, the emperor's fear would not disappear. Wen Ning's strategy made the emperor focus on the State of Chu, and even if he wanted to move the Gu family, he had to deal with the threat of the State of Chu first.

As expected of her who has lived with me for so long, I have made such a silly heroine smart.

"How are you going to thank me?" Wen Ning blinked, very curious. Was Gu Xici going to give her a gift or take her out to collect folk songs and fly a kite? She had been waiting for Gu Xici to go out to fly a kite for several days, but Gu Xici was too busy and didn't have time.

"Look at that spider in the sunlight. Isn't it interesting? I'll catch it and give it to you." Gu Xici said as he slowly approached the spider. Wen Ning grabbed Gu Xici and the spider took the opportunity to escape.

"Which girl would like spiders? Butterflies are more like that." Wen Ning pouted angrily and looked at Gu Xici with a complaining look.

"Butterfly was so ugly when she was little. I didn't expect you to have such a weird taste."

"I said butterfly, not caterpillar."

"But a butterfly transforms from a caterpillar." Gu Xici spread his hands and told the truth.

"Gu Xici, you want to be beaten."

"Haha, you can't catch me."

Wen Ning chased Gu Xici to the rockery.

"General, ma'am."

A maidservant in green and a maidservant in purple saw Wen Ning and Gu Xici and hurriedly greeted them.

"Hey, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?" Gu Xici stopped walking, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked at the two maids.

"Ha! I caught you!" Wen Ning ran over breathlessly and grabbed Gu Xici's arm with both hands.

"When were they recruited in?" Gu Xici was puzzled. Aren't these two NPCs randomly refreshed in the Fifth Prince's Mansion? How did they come to his house?

"Oh, I hired them. I have some things to do, and Luqi can't handle it alone. I saw these two girls were looking for jobs, so I hired them into the mansion. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Wen Ning replied that they were probably not spies. Although the maid in green was a bit gossipy, she didn't look like she had any ulterior motives.

"No, I just asked casually because I don't know you." Gu Xici looked at the sweat on Wen Ning's forehead and wiped it off with his hand. "You have reached the required amount of exercise today, so you can eat whatever you want next."

Alas, Wen Ning has been eating and drinking all the time since he came to Gu Mansion, and has not exercised. She has been urging Wen Ning to exercise, but Wen Ning refused to move no matter what.

Gu Xici had no choice but to play with Wen Ning to get him to run a few steps every day. She would not play with Wen Ning in a childish way. Every word and every thing she said was well thought out.

"Let's go fly a kite tomorrow. You've rejected me many times." Wen Ning shook Gu Xici's arm.

"Do you remember the last time we flew kites? You said you wouldn't go no matter what." Gu Xici refused. The last time they flew kites, Wen Ning bought one for every kite he liked, and he bought all kinds of animals, including cats and dogs.

Every time after flying a kite, he would give it to Gu Xici. When Wen Ning handed her the twelfth kite, Gu Xici stopped Wen Ning. If Gu Xici didn't have some martial arts skills, he would have almost been carried into the air by the kite.

"Hehe, that was an accident. It won't happen this time." Wen Ning smiled awkwardly. She didn't think too much about it at the time, but it was very funny to see Gu Xici with kites hanging all over his body.

"Hmph." Gu Xici turned around and ignored Wen Ning.

"I remember there was a kite that seemed to be in the shape of a spider. Can we try it tomorrow?" Wen Ning ran to the front. It should be difficult for Gu Xici to refuse.

Gu Xici's opinion on spiders is that compared to pets like cats and dogs, spiders are difficult to tame and they won't give you anything in return. Similarly, you don't need to place any extra emotions on them.

"alright."

“Great,” Wen Ning cheered, but crabs are also spiders, aren’t they? Who said that?

Gu Xici didn't know about Wen Ning's trap and agreed.

Looking at the purple and green figures, Gu Xici frowned. The purple-clothed maid was cautious and careful. Could it be that she discovered something wrong in the Fifth Prince's mansion?

Gu Xici did not forget that the secret room in the Fifth Prince's treasury contained a large number of sharp weapons and secret correspondence with the Jinwu Guards.
