Gu Qingluo asked Liu Ruyu about the matter concerning the royal family's reputation.

Liu Ruyu hesitated to speak, wanting to say something but not knowing how to organize the words.

Her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, and her hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hands.

Gu Qingluo saw that she had some concerns, so he said, "Just tell me, even if the sky falls, I will hold it up."

Her voice was steady and powerful, as if giving Liu Ruyu a reassurance.

"As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry!" Although he said that, Gu Qingluo muttered in his heart: If the sky falls, I will be the first to die. At that time, the only option left is to use death as the best strategy among the Thirty-Six Strategies!

Liu Ruyu saw that Gu Qingluo's face was full of an expression as if the sky was falling and she should run away first.

She sighed silently in her heart, looking at Gu Qingluo's gullible appearance, it was really not worth it for her.

In Liu Ruyu's mind, Gu Qingluo, as the king of a country, should be wise and courageous, but now he is so naive.

Being betrayed by the one you love is also a terrible thing in life.

Although it was fine that the two men could not last long, how could the other party do such an immoral thing? Liu Ruyu's thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling how she learned about this matter.

It was a quiet afternoon. Liu Ruyu was taking a walk in the imperial garden when she overheard two palace maids whispering.

What they talked about shocked Liu Ruyu. It turned out that such an unbearable thing had happened in the palace.

She didn't want to get involved, but this matter concerned the reputation of the royal family. If it was not handled in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Ruyu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and decided to tell Gu Qingluo about this matter. She slowly said, "Your Majesty, I heard about something recently. This matter...is related to the Regent."

Gu Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes lit up: "He's dead?"

Liu Ruyu: “…”

Liu Ruyu bit her lip and said, "I heard that the Regent Prince had a close relationship with a prostitute in a brothel and his behavior was quite suspicious."

Gu Qingluo's face darkened: "Is this true? Did he die in a woman's bed?"

Liu Ruyu shook her head: "No, I think the regent will marry a prostitute back home."

"I heard that the woman is extremely beautiful and is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, even more beautiful than Miss Sun!"

"If that's the case, then it's no surprise that the Regent has a change of heart!"

"But, Your Majesty, the Regent is so immoral, aren't you a bit angry?"

Gu Qingluo: “?”

"why would you say so?"

Liu Ruyu: "Don't you like the Regent?"

"He found a new love, aren't you angry?"

"He is a heartless man, Your Majesty, won't you teach him a lesson?"

Gu Qingluo: “?”

A hundred questions flashed through Gu Qingluo's mind at this moment. When did she become related to Jun Lingyue again?

Didn’t I tell her before that I had nothing to do with that idiot?

So, Gu Qingluo resisted the urge to slap Liu Ruyu, and gently pulled down the corner of his lip and asked, "Did your ears get crap last time? How come you couldn't hear anything at all?"

Liu Ruyu: “?”

She felt a little puzzled, and someone told her with good intentions, but in the end she was bullied.

Liu Ruyu was unhappy in her heart, and couldn't help but say in a somewhat aggressive tone: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the good heart!"

Gu Qingluo glanced at her indifferently, with an indescribable expression in his eyes.

Then, she said with some difficulty: "I need to see a doctor about my brain. It's full of worms."

"It won't be long before you become a pig-brained person."

Liu Ruyu: “…”

In the end, Liu Ruyu couldn't convince her and left in anger.

Eunuch Su walked in with a happy face and reported: "Your Majesty, there is great news!" The loud voice echoed in the hall, instantly breaking the original tranquility.

Gu Qingluo was feeling exhausted at the moment, and when she heard Eunuch Su's voice, she felt even more tired.

She frowned slightly, leaned back in her chair, and asked slowly, "What's the happy event that can make Eunuch Su so happy?" There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her tone, as if she didn't have much hope for this so-called happy event.

Eunuch Su had no time to wipe the sweat off his face as he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Bian has returned to the capital and is now walking to the city gate!" His eyes were full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, would you like to go and greet her?" Eunuch Su looked at Gu Qingluo expectantly, waiting for her decision.

Gu Qingluo sat up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said: "Let's go and greet them together!" Her voice instantly became excited.

"I will also hold a celebration banquet for them!" Gu Qingluo stood up, her expression solemn. All ministers and their families can attend!" Her tone was formal and solemn, leaving no room for doubt.

Eunuch Su quickly responded, "Your Majesty is wise! General Bian's triumphant return is truly a blessing for our dynasty. Your Majesty's move will surely boost morale and demonstrate the power of our dynasty."

Gu Qingluo nodded slightly, then strode out.

Her heart was full of anticipation. General Bian's return was not only because the State of Chu was defeated, but also because she had become the emperor of a country again.

Along the way, Gu Qingluo became more and more excited. She imagined that she could unify the world like her beloved ancestor, for whom she, Qin Shi Huang, had always been full of admiration.

Finally, they arrived at the city gate.

At this time, many people had gathered at the city gate, all of them looking forward to the return of the hero. Gu Qingluo stood on a high place, looking from afar, and saw a mighty team slowly approaching.

General Bian rode a tall horse, wearing armor, and looked heroic. Behind him were countless brave soldiers, all of whom were in high spirits and had extraordinary momentum.

Gu Qingluo's eyes sparkled with pride, and she said excitedly: "General Bian, you have worked hard!"

Bian Wunian quickly dismounted, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, we have lived up to your trust and returned in triumph!"

Gu Qingluo personally helped General Bian up and said, "General and the soldiers have made great contributions to the country. I am deeply pleased. Tomorrow I will hold a celebration banquet for you to commend your achievements."

Bian Wunian burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Your Majesty, we are grateful for your grace."

Afterwards, Gu Qingluo led the border generals and soldiers back to the palace.

Day two.

A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the palace, and all the ministers and their families arrived to celebrate this great victory.

At the celebration banquet, Gu Qingluo delivered an impassioned speech, in which she highly praised the bravery, fearlessness, loyalty and dedication of the border generals and soldiers. The ministers also raised their glasses to pay tribute to the heroes.

Just as Bian Wunian was raising his glass to toast, someone at the banquet suddenly fell to the ground, startling everyone.
