Gu Wenzhi first expressed his gratitude to Gu Wenbo and then respectfully bowed deeply to Gu Mingbai, performing a standard bow.

Then, in a slightly nervous and anxious tone, he said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to be punished for leaving the mission without permission. However, before that, I have one more crucial matter to report to you: Prince Shu of Yu has unfortunately passed away! This matter is of great importance, and I hope Your Majesty can decide on a response as soon as possible."

After saying this, he still maintained his bowing posture, as if waiting for Gu Mingbai's response.

Gu Mingbai tilted his head slightly, glancing at him coldly from the corner of his eye, then spoke slowly, "This story has spread everywhere! It's being said everywhere, that Prince Shu suddenly contracted a nasty illness and died within a few days!"

Gu Wenzhi shook his head vigorously, his expression solemn and resolute, "No! Absolutely not! I was there, and I can still remember the scene vividly! I saw it clearly with my own eyes. He was killed by the raging fire and the devastating explosion that followed! The fire was incredibly fierce, engulfing everything in an instant; and the explosion was deafening, as if it was tearing the world apart."

Gu Wenbo's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise. He parted his lips slightly, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "This...this is what you saw with your own eyes? Are you hurt? But...but this couldn't really be you who did it, could it be you?"

When he said the last sentence, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of doubt and nervousness. He stared at the other person closely, as if trying to catch some clues from his expression or words to confirm whether what he was thinking was correct.

Gu Mingbai's deep and sharp eyes were fixed on Gu Wenzhi, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to the deepest secrets in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Mingbai's heart was full of doubts and confusion. He urgently wanted to know whether this matter was done by Gu Wenzhi, who seemed honest in front of him.

Gu Wenzhi thought for a moment and said, "I did fight with him, but the fire... was set by him. He wanted to kill me with him. Luckily, a girl saved me. He didn't expect that the weapon he made himself would kill him."

Gu Wenzhi told the whole story in a mixed way. Although Gu Wenbo and Gu Mingbai were a little skeptical after hearing what Gu Wenzhi said, they did not ask any more questions.

Afterwards, the three of them sat together and began to discuss the future relationship between Beihan and Yuguo with serious expressions.

They are well aware that this decision will have a profound impact on the fate of both countries, so no one dares to take it lightly.

"In my opinion, we should do our best to maintain the current peaceful situation," Gu Wenbo spoke first. He frowned slightly, his gaze deep into the distance, as if he was thinking deeply. "After all, war brings only destruction and pain. It is a disaster for both the people and the country."

Gu Wenzhi nodded slightly in agreement, but at the same time raised his own concerns: "Having said that, what if Yu Country has further ambitions for territorial expansion? Are we just going to keep backing down?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing a hint of worry.

Gu Mingbai remained silent, quietly listening to the two men's argument. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Actually, we might as well consider this issue from the perspective of both parties' interests. If we can find a mutually beneficial and win-win solution, perhaps we can avoid conflict."

Then, the three of them started a heated discussion on how to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

It was not until dark that Gu Wenzhi hurriedly left the palace and came to the backyard of the clinic.

He Yue heard a knock on the door and opened it. "Azhi, is there something you want to see me for so late?"

Gu Wenzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to come and see you. Are you used to being in the clinic? Are you tired today?"

He Yue shook her head, "I'm not tired, it's cold, come in!"

He Yue didn't want to live in Gu Wenzhi's house, so Gu Wenzhi arranged for her to live in a yard behind the clinic.

After He Yue brought Gu Wenzhi into the house, she immediately poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "Hurry up and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

He Yue casually raised her head while adding charcoal to the charcoal basin and asked, "You've only just come here so late. You must be very busy today! Have you eaten yet?"

Her voice was soft and concerned, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity and worry.

Gu Wenzhi shook his head. "Not yet. Why don't you accompany me out for dinner?"

He Yue frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on him, and she said softly, "It's freezing cold out there, what can we eat outside? Sit here and wait for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and show you my cooking skills. It'll be ready soon!"

As she said this, she turned and walked towards the kitchen, her steps light but firm.

After a while, the crisp sound of pots and pans colliding came from the kitchen, like a cheerful symphony, foreshadowing the delicious food that was about to be served.

Gu Wenzhi stared at He Yue's graceful back without blinking, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and it was as if a cheerful bird was singing in his heart, and his joy was beyond words.

He Yue walked lightly towards the kitchen, her steps as graceful and charming as a dancing butterfly.

Gu Wenzhi followed without hesitation, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he skillfully picked up the firewood, squatted down and started to make a fire.

The firelight illuminated his smiling face, making it look particularly warm.

At the same time, He Yue stood in front of the stove, tied an apron, and prepared ingredients and cooking utensils in an orderly manner.

Her dexterous hands were like dancing elves, she skillfully cut, washed and cooked vegetables, and every movement was so smooth and natural.

The kitchen is filled with the aroma of food, making people salivate.

In this warm atmosphere, although the two did not communicate much verbally, there was an indescribable tacit understanding between them.

Their figures, interwoven with firelight and smoke, formed a beautiful and harmonious picture.

Not long after, tempting aromas wafted from the kitchen. It turned out that the food was cooked!

They moved quickly, both carefully picking up two plates filled with delicious food, and then walked towards the house with brisk steps.

Along the way, the aroma of the delicious dishes constantly stimulates people's taste buds and makes people salivate.
