After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 207 A Premeditated Encounter (11)

The next morning, Gu Chang got up on time.

After washing and dressing, Gu Chang sat on the soft stool beside the big round table, watching the eunuchs who served the dishes place the exquisite breakfast dishes on the table one by one.

Then they walked away one by one. Gu Chang looked at them all standing aside with their heads down, and then looked at Cheng De.

Cheng De immediately smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, do you need me to serve you some food?"

"No need." Gu Chang withdrew his gaze.

He wasn't used to having so many people around him when he was eating alone. It reminded him of some not-so-nice things in the past. And since he was the emperor now, if his temperament suddenly changed, it would be OOC.

So Gu Chang focused his attention on his nose and his heart, imagining other people as a big carrot, and concentrating on eating the breakfast in front of him.

Murong Heng could tell at a glance that Gu Chang was feeling awkward. He could now leave this body and stay by Gu Chang's side as a soul, but he could not be more than three meters away from Gu Chang. If he exceeded this distance, he would be forcibly pulled back.

Murong Heng sat next to Gu Chang, supporting his chin with one hand, staring at Gu Chang while he ate.

"No matter what I do, it is always pleasing to the eye." Murong Heng raised the corners of his lips slightly and said this out of the blue.

Gu Chang was swallowing his food and almost choked when he heard Murong Heng say that.

"Your Majesty, eat slowly and drink some soup to smooth things over." Cheng De, who was standing by, noticed Gu Chang's pause and quickly poured a bowl of soup for him. "Your Majesty, drink slowly."

Cheng De then turned to the eunuch in the imperial kitchen and said, "Who made this dish? How could it choke Your Majesty?"

"Chengde, shut up." Gu Chang didn't want this dish to disappear from his breakfast menu. He quite liked eating meatballs made of shrimp.

Cheng De closed his mouth and thought to himself: This holy heart is becoming more and more difficult to predict.

He thought for a moment and felt something was wrong. He had been with His Majesty for two years, but he still hadn't figured out His Majesty's temperament. It was his dereliction of duty.

The corners of Murong Heng's lips curled up again.

Gu Chang calmly glanced at the translucent Murong Heng, then asked the system, "System, did you let him out?"

"Isn't this a good thing? Host, how can there be three people in one body? If he goes out, he won't be able to hear your voice, host." The system scratched its head.

"That makes sense." Gu Chang continued to eat breakfast after replying to the system.

It’s just that Murong Heng’s gaze was too intense, and Gu Chang couldn’t even treat him as a big carrot.

After breakfast, Gu Chang went to the Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs as usual.

Soon, Cheng De came to Qianqing Palace to report to Gu Chang.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has already left the palace and returned to the Prime Minister's Residence. As for Miss Nie... she refused to eat breakfast and threw a tantrum. She also said that she is the legitimate daughter of the Nie family of the Zhou Kingdom, the daughter of Princess Tu Liuli, and that if we dare to attack her, the Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom will send troops to attack our country."

Cheng De said this according to Nie Qingxue's original words. Miss Nie of the Nie family is now in the Tianyao Kingdom's palace. She doesn't want to obey the emperor's will first, and she has the audacity to say such words. She doesn't seem like a well-educated lady at all.

Strange? Why was he so concerned about Miss Nie, whom he had only met a few times?

Cheng De suppressed the doubts in his heart, then lowered his head and waited for Gu Chang's instructions.

"It's better to deliver the meal on time. If she refuses to eat, take it away." Gu Chang said coldly.

He thought of the reunion of Linghu Weixin and Nie Qingxue. The meeting between these two people was not accidental, but was premeditated.

The Night Shadow Guard who had been keeping an eye on Linghu Weixin watched the entire process on the day the two met and also recorded it.

The rich young master who harassed Nie Qingxue was actually someone in disguise. After escaping in disgrace, the person pretending to be the rich young master came out of the alley again, transformed into a waiter in the teahouse, and returned to the teahouse.

Now Gu Chang wants to lure out the person who is secretly helping Nie Qingxue, but tonight he can lock Nie Qingxue up somewhere else, such as a cell.

Then let Tanlang go outside the palace to spread some news, for example, a palace maid made a mistake and was thrown into jail.

If anyone is curious, just say that the palace maid's surname was Nie.

Gu Chang told Murong Heng his plan, and Murong Heng sneered, "Who would believe such news?"

"Of course it's her followers." Gu Chang also smiled. "There has been no news about her in the palace. People who care about her will naturally find ways to find out about her."

Prime Minister's House.

Since Linghu Weixin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has stayed indoors and refused to see anyone.

Mo Yinqing, who came with two jars of wine, didn't care about Linghu Weixin's attitude of closing the door to visitors. He broke into the courtyard where Linghu Weixin was, pushed open the door, and when he saw Linghu Weixin lying decadently on the couch, Mo Yinqing silently curled the corners of his lips.

"How come you, the Prime Minister, are so disheveled and look like you've lost your soul?" Mo Yinqing placed two jars of wine on the round table and strode towards Linghu Weixin.

Mo Yinqing sat down next to Linghu Weixin's calves, with his legs apart and his hands on his knees. Then he turned his head to look at Linghu Weixin who was lying down.

Linghu Weixin glanced at him before slowly speaking, "General Mo, you are in a very refined mood."

"Of course. Without war, my position as a general is a sinecure. When I'm not attending the morning court, I'm hanging around the Grand Council, mentoring the new recruits. Unlike you, you're a busy man." Mo Yinqing grinned, revealing eight white teeth. He had a majestic and strong appearance, his eyes piercing like an eagle.

The corners of Linghu Weixin's mouth twitched. He used his elbows to support his upper body, then sat up, his peach blossom eyes filled with helplessness.

"Yinqing, do you know the Night Shadow Guard?" Linghu Weixin hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to talk about this with Mo Yinqing.

Although he knew that walls have ears and Murong Heng would know what he and Mo Yinqing were talking about, Linghu Weixin didn't care, because he had already taken the poison, so why should he be afraid of these things.

"Night Shadow Guard? Old fox, where did you hear this strange name from?" Mo Yinqing was still smiling. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Linghu Weixin's arm. "Let's have a drink first."

"The Night Shadow Guards are not a gang organization, they are the sharp sword in the hands of His Majesty." Linghu Weixin pushed away Mo Yinqing's hand. He didn't sleep all night last night, and there were obvious bloodshot eyes and some dark circles under his eyes.

Mo Yinqing smoothed his lips and said nothing.

"I, I did something wrong. I sent a girl from the Day Country into the palace for Your Majesty. That girl wanted the token in Your Majesty's hand that could mobilize the Night Shadow Guards, so..." Linghu Weixin felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

"So you believe she poses no threat to His Majesty, and you even want to go to His Majesty and plead for that woman." Mo Yinqing took over his words and sighed, "You old fox, you were confused for a moment."

"Think back to the time when we helped Your Majesty to pacify the country and take back the Tianyao Kingdom from the hands of the aristocratic families. No matter whether we used coercion, inducement or beauty traps, we had no intention of betraying you. I thought you were indifferent to women and devoted to the country, but I never thought that you had someone else in your heart." Mo Yinqing said, then he stood up and walked to the stool and sat down, and directly removed the seal on the wine jar.

Linghu Weixin got off the couch, frowning and shaking his head. "I don't have any romantic feelings for Xue'er. I just want to repay her for saving my life back in the Nie Mansion. Perhaps I've been living an easy life for too long."

"Okay, you don't have to be sad anymore. His Majesty has his own decision. Come here. We haven't had a drink together for a long time." Mo Yinqing said with a smile.

Linghu Weixin walked over to the stool next to him and sat down. He glanced at Mo Yinqing and said, "Yinqing, have you known for a long time that His Majesty has locked me up in a cell?"

"So what? Can I still go to His Majesty and plead for you? Then His Majesty will think that we are in league with each other, and then I will be thrown into jail just like you." Mo Yinqing did not directly answer Linghu Weixin's question.

His words made Linghu Weixin feel a little unhappy.

"I came to look for you last night, but you were not there. I only learned from your servants that you had entered the palace. I only found out this morning that you were imprisoned." Seeing that Linghu Weixin had a strange expression on his face, Mo Yinqing patiently explained.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe me and still wants me to take the poison. I can only take the medicine on the last day of every month to relieve the pain caused by the poison gnawing at my heart." Linghu Weixin couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his voice and scared Mo Yinqing.

Mo Yinqing had just taken out a handful of beef jerky from his arms when he was suddenly frightened by Linghu Weixin and almost dropped the beef jerky in his hand.

"Just eat it. Besides, this insect won't affect your eating and sleeping, so just relax." Mo Yinqing put the beef jerky on the saucer of the teacup and casually advised Linghu Weixin.

"How do you know?" Linghu Weixin looked at him puzzled.

Mo Yinqing stopped pouring the wine, turned his head and gave Linghu Weixin a bright smile.

"Because I used to work for the Night Shadow Guard, I've almost become friends with the Gu worm in my stomach. How could I not be familiar with it?"

Linghu Weixin, "!!!"

"You! You are the Night Shadow Guard?!" Linghu Weixin was shocked. He really didn't expect that his best friend would be a Night Shadow Guard!

"Tsk, you're making such a fuss. Keep your voice down." Mo Yinqing reached out and pressed Linghu Weixin's shoulder. "I'm no longer with the Night Shadow Guard. I'm now General Mo Yinqing of the Tianyao Nation."

Linghu Weixin stopped talking. He felt that he needed to slow down and accept this fact.

It turns out that the Night Shadow Guard is right beside him, but he doesn't know...

And this Night Shadow Guard is his good brother.

Although Mo Yinqing is no longer a Night Shadow Guard, Linghu Weixin still feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks about it.

"Old fox, don't think too much. I won't tell His Majesty about your affairs." Seeing Linghu Weixin lowered his brows and tightened his jaw, Mo Yinqing spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"What if His Majesty asks you?" Linghu Weixin asked through gritted teeth.

"If Your Majesty asks, then I can only tell you." Mo Yinqing shrugged and spoke casually.

Linghu Weixin, “·······” he knew it!
