Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

On the day the Xiling delegation left the capital, Gu Yao rode his horse at breakneck speed to the city gate, stepping through the morning mist.

Wanyan Jue watched the white figure rushing towards them through the morning mist, his heart pounding with anxiety, fearing that something might happen to Gu Yao.

Only when the black horse stopped in front of him did he feel relieved.

Gu Yao nimbly dismounted, still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand.

He raised his hand and waved it, his expression beaming. "Yanlu, we promised to drink the osmanthus wine I brewed myself, but now we won't have the chance to drink it together under the moon. However, you can still drink this wine. Looking at the same bright moon, it can be considered a reunion. If there's a chance in the future, we'll drink it all together again."

Seeing the smile playing on Gu Yao's face, Wanyan Jue really wanted to take him away.

He felt that Gu Yao was a gift from the gods to the human world, but this gift did not belong to him.

When did his feelings change? Wanyan Jue himself couldn't say for sure.

Staring at Gu Yao's gentle and handsome face, he smiled with relief.

He thought of a saying from the Han people: "Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment."

How could anyone not like such a wonderful person?

Who knows when we'll meet again after this parting?

Wanyan Jue sighed inwardly and took the bamboo basket from Gu Yao's hand.

I was afraid of tiring Gu Yao.

There was a jar of osmanthus wine and two cans of candied osmanthus in the bamboo basket.

Even though the jar is sealed, you can still smell a faint fragrance, the scent of autumn.

The familiar scent easily evoked fond memories of Wanyan Jue from these past few days, making him feel momentarily dazed.

Gu Yao saw the person opposite him staring at the contents of the basket for a long time, and then stretched out a hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Wanyan Jue snapped out of her daze and smiled at Gu Yao, "I like it very much, thank you Le'an."

Gu Yao was taken aback. When did this guy become so polite? He hadn't shown any remorse when this guy snatched food from him before.

Gu Yao thought so, but a beautiful smile appeared on his lips as he nodded slightly.

Wanyan Jue was stunned by the smile.

Everyone says his face is incredibly handsome, but in his opinion, Le'an is the most beautiful.

He really wanted to keep people around him.

But Le'an has the talent to save the world, so how can I restrict his actions?

Eagles should soar through the sky.

The people of Xiling say I am the bravest warrior of the grasslands, but in fact I am the most cowardly. I don't even dare to let the person in front of me know my own feelings.

A self-deprecating smile played on his lips as Wanyan Jue's eyes darkened, revealing a hint of melancholy.

Suddenly, he grabbed Gu Yao's wrist, pulled him into his arms and held him tightly, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in his life.

Gu Yao was pulled by the sudden force and stumbled, falling into a fragrant embrace.

Xi Ling was tall and imposing, and Wan Yan Jue was the most outstanding among them, being half a head taller than Gu Yao, and he completely embraced him.

He bent down and buried his head in Gu Yao's neck, his voice muffled, "Le'an, if... never mind, take care of yourself."

Wanyan Jue originally wanted to say, "If the person you love betrays you in the future, can you consider me?"

But he didn't want to add any more burden to him.

That's it, let's say goodbye like ordinary friends.

If Le'an is unhappy in the future, he will personally come to bring his pearl back to Xiling.

And let that bastard know what the iron fist of a Xiling man is like.

Wanyan Jue reluctantly let go of Gu Yao and draped his fox fur cloak over Gu Yao's shoulders. The two were of slightly different sizes; the cloak that fit Wanyan Jue perfectly made Gu Yao look exceptionally petite, even a little short.

At this moment, the upright and virtuous Lord Gu looked like a child who had secretly put on an adult's clothes.

Wanyan Jue sighed, "Le'an's health isn't good, you need to take good care of yourself."

Gu Yao was already shivering from the cold, so he quickly pulled a warm coat over his head.

Whether it fits or not, at least it keeps you warm.

Hearing Wanyan Jue's words, he smiled and said, "I know. Yanlu, please take care of yourself. Winter is coming soon and Xiling is short of food. I will send people to Xiling as soon as possible to deliver the food in the contract. Once trade resumes next year, we will no longer have to worry."

Wanyan Jue nodded, said nothing more, patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, mounted his horse, flicked the reins, and galloped away.

There was no turning back.

He was afraid that if Gu Yao continued talking, he really wouldn't be able to resist taking the person away.

Gu Yao shouted from behind, "If fate allows, we shall meet again someday and drink together under the moon."

Wanyan Jue could only pretend not to hear, and swung the reins even faster, rushing towards the main force ahead.

Wanyan Jue's figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Gu Yao stared at the direction Wanyan Jue had left for a long time before reluctantly turning away and walking towards the city gate.

Yan Lu, take care.

The days passed by in this busy routine.

In the past six months, Gu Yao has shown his talent and proposed many reforms.

Any ministers who objected were reported by Gu Yao with a memorial. These busybodies who did nothing but jump around all day, their dirty deeds were easily uncovered by Gu Yao's 0529 investigation.

With so many people suffering, everyone realized the power of this Lord Gu, and wisely chose to keep quiet. Even if they were dissatisfied, they wouldn't openly confront Gu Yao.

Who knows if he has any dirt on his own family?

Emperor Xuan also admired Gu Yao. This kind of capable and resourceful young man was the future pillar of the Xuan Dynasty.

As a result, the reforms proposed by Gu Yao were carried out with exceptional smoothness.

After returning to the Ministry of Personnel, Xi Yue worked diligently and accomplished several important tasks, further solidifying his position in the court.

The two always met in the imperial court, exchanging only a fleeting glance before looking away.

However, Gu Yao doesn't have the mind to deal with Xi Yue right now, since the next important plot point will be in six months anyway.

In the summer of the twenty-third year of the Tianqian era, the Jiangnan region suffered from severe flooding, with floods affecting dozens of cities and impacting hundreds of thousands of people.

Xi Yue volunteered to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief. Not long after he left, Emperor Xuan vomited blood and fell into a coma in the palace.

After waking up, he kept the imperial physician with him for a long time.

Strangely enough, Emperor Xuan then seemed to have recovered from his illness and returned to his strong and healthy state.

They haven't even shown any intention to establish an heir apparent.

This silenced the previously restless court once again.

During this turbulent time, Gu Yao claimed to be ill and took leave to stay at home.

In reality, they secretly arranged for Shen Zi'an to take action, sending all the grain and medicinal herbs acquired last year to Jiangnan.

Emperor Xuan is now terminally ill and nearing his end. He is bound to be suspicious. The Gu family is powerful and would be a great help to either of the princes.

Therefore, Gu Yao could not take any risks and could only stay in the capital and plot against Yue from behind the scenes.

Moreover, this disaster relief effort is a great opportunity for Xi Yue and Qin Chang to deepen their relationship, so why would a supporting character like him go and do it?

The two exchanged information solely through letters. Gu Yao offered Xi Yue advice on disaster relief, while Xi Yue used these letters to understand the situation in the capital.

Seeing the vague affection Xi Yue showed in the letter, Gu Yao chuckled and put the letter into the wooden box.

With the support of food and medicine, and with Gu Yao's mediation in the court to allocate funds, the situation was further improved.

This disaster relief effort went exceptionally smoothly.

With sufficient medicinal materials, even the inevitable epidemic following a major disaster was brought under control in a timely manner.

In mid-October of the Tianqian era, Prince An returned to the capital after his expedition to Yue, and the disaster relief efforts were successfully completed.

Emperor Xuan was delighted and allowed Xi Yue to enter the imperial study to participate in political affairs.

Gu Yao carefully put away the last letter between the two of them and placed it in the wooden box containing the letters.

The moon and stars are few outside the window; tomorrow should be a rare good day.

It should only be five months before Emperor Xuan passes away.
