Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 48 No wonder the ancients said beauty is seductive~
As soon as she mentioned the business, Gu Luoheng quickly calmed down the shame and helplessness in his heart, glanced sideways and spoke seriously.
"Is there anything I can do for you? Just ask."
The sunlight poured down directly on her, and the blush on her ears, which had not yet faded, made her look even more shy and beautiful in the sunlight.
Mu Qingli glanced at him and couldn't help sighing in his heart:
No one can resist the charming look of the jade-faced young man with blushing ears. No wonder the ancients said that beauty is seductive. Who says only women can be attracted by beauty? She is also very attractive when she sees men's beauty.
But she only sighed for a moment and then started talking to him.
"You should know about the flood in Yunzhou, right? My people have already gone to deal with it. I want you to pass on a message to Old Master Gu for me. The capital is about to be in turmoil and he should choose a wise leader as soon as possible.
Even a pair of jackets wouldn't necessarily protect the Gu family's safety. Making some plans ahead of time would be good for both you and my family. I know you've made some plans in secret, but you should understand that's not enough."
Gu Luoheng reacted quickly, raising his eyebrows slightly and taking a breath, "Are you saying that His Majesty is also going to take action against the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
Mu Qingli raised his lips calmly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his lips, and asked him a question directly with a cold look in his eyes.
"Do you know that His Majesty has started taking the elixir?"
The news about the emperor taking medicine also came from the palace. The people she had sent out over the years were very useful and loyal. It could be said that she had ears and eyes everywhere.
The emperor was actually quite wise when he was young, but he became more and more foolish as he grew older. The most terrifying thing was that he began to fear death and tried every means to make himself immortal. She secretly asked someone in the palace to get her one of those elixirs.
But after studying it, Qilan told her seriously that those so-called elixirs that could make people live forever were actually mostly mixed with cinnabar, which could not make people live forever and could even cause poisoning if taken too much. When the poison accumulated more and more, people would suddenly die.
In his previous life, the emperor was seeking his own death, but this time it was different...
As soon as Gu Luoheng heard the word "pill", his face changed immediately. There was a hint of horror in his eyes, and he suddenly stood up.
"You mean His Majesty took the elixir? When did this happen? How did you know?"
Throughout history, the tragic situations that resulted from taking elixirs for immortality have been recorded. This is also what civil and military officials hate the most. Even many emperors who took elixirs were not well evaluated by later generations.
But how could the emperor be so desperate? To touch such an evil thing? He had never heard a single word of this before. He could even imagine that if this news got out, the entire court would be in turmoil.
Mu Qingli leaned lazily against the chair, narrowing his eyes slightly to hide the sarcasm and disgust in his eyes.
"He's been taking the elixir for over six months. Didn't Old Master Gu suspect that something was wrong with the Emperor's condition over the past six months? I'm afraid he's already deeply poisoned. Even if we expose it now, it won't stop him.
What I want to tell you is that that position will be replaced soon. I have already chosen the candidate. Coincidentally, the old master and I have the same opinion. You, the Gu family, can also make preparations in advance. "
Gu Luoheng's expression kept changing, and finally he even fell silent. After a while, he spoke in a calm voice.
"What does the emperor's use of the elixir have to do with you? Ah Li, what have you been doing in the past five years?"
This is what he has been wanting to ask for the past five years. He has even asked it secretly in the letters they sent back and forth over the years, but he never received a positive response. Over the years, there has always been a hidden worry lingering in his heart.
Mu Qingli looked at him and suddenly smiled, praising him in an ambiguous tone.
"Brother Heng, you should know that I have never doubted your intelligence. I believe you should have suspected some things five years ago. I once said that I would never hide anything from you again.
So today I'm going to be frank and make it clear: I want to bring a new life to Dayan! I want no one in this world to ever lay a hand on my parents, my brother, or anyone else again!"
Gu Luoheng looked at her silently, with a dark color in his eyes. Finally, he sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, and then squatted down and looked at her with a frown.
The deep voice softened slightly, sounding inexplicably gentler. "Ah Li, I don't know why you insist on this, but I think there must be some truth to it. I also have people under my command. As long as they don't endanger the Gu family, I can do whatever you want.
As for the yellow jacket incident, Grandfather asked me to thank you for your careful planning. As long as you don't intend to rebel or start an uprising, the Gu family will always support you."
He said this with great confidence. After all, he was no longer the little boy who could do nothing and protect nothing. He was already the head of the Gu family of this generation and had full ability to control the Gu family.
Mu Qingli subconsciously lowered her eyes and looked at the man who was almost half-kneeling in front of her. There were strong ripples in her eyes. After a while, she smiled and nodded.
"I know. I've always known how good you and the Gu family have been to me, but I want to tell you that I was just throwing out a bait to the Emperor. I didn't expect anyone to take the bait so soon."
Gu Luoheng looked at her gently, and soon realized the meaning of her words. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"So some of those princes can't wait any longer?"
"I was just a pusher. They put all the right things together on their own. This is what they bring upon themselves."
A sneer suddenly appeared on Mu Qingli's lips. His gentle eyes and brows seemed inexplicably cold, and his face was covered with frost.
Looking at her like this, Gu Luoheng felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart for some reason. His narrow eyes drooped slightly to hide the complex emotions in his eyes.
Although Ali was sitting in the light and shadow, there was an abyss in front of her eyes, which was so bottomless that it made people feel very distressed.
.....
(Prince An's Mansion)
The master came back home angrily and started smashing everything in the house crazily. The crackling sounds made the servants turn pale, but they kept their heads down and dared not look up.
But if you look closely, you can still see their slightly trembling bodies and the fear that cannot be hidden in their eyes.
Wasn't His Highness out for a banquet today? Why did he come back so angry? Who on earth had the audacity to provoke His Highness? Isn't this just like a fire in the city gate that affects the fish in the pond?
The servants were all complaining in their hearts, but they dared not show it on the surface. They stood quietly outside the door waiting to be served.
But soon the sound of things being thrown around in the house stopped, and then they heard the angry voice of someone inside.
"Someone, go and ask Mr. Pei to come over!"
