After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 138 Countermeasures
"What's on your mind?" Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen who was sitting in the carriage and asked.

After seeing Gao Kun from Dali Temple, Xie Chen just sat there without saying a word, looking at the place in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Chen recovered after hearing Gu Hengyu's words, with a smile on his face: "Ah? No."

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen for a while, and when Xie Chen was about to lose the smile on his face, Gu Hengyu turned his eyes away.

Since Xie Chen didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her to say it either.

Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have any worries, but after hearing Gao Kun's story and thinking about his actions, she felt a little uncomfortable.

I already thought that the life and ending of my previous life were miserable enough, but I didn't expect...

But it's too difficult to tell Gu Hengyu what's in his heart.

I have experienced so much in my previous life, how could I finish it all at once and ask Gu Hengyu to feel the same way.

It just added to my troubles and Gu Hengyu's worries for no reason.

After all, people always have to look forward, and it is impossible to stay in the past.

Xie Chen comforted himself, afraid that Gu Hengyu was thinking too much, so he stretched out his hand to hold him.

After Gu Hengyu felt Xie Chen's movement, he turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel at ease with you by my side." Xie Chen looked up at Gu Hengyu and said, with a faint smile on his face.

After hearing Xie Chen's words, a smile appeared on Gu Hengyu's face.

"Then marry me earlier." Gu Hengyu said with a smile.

He has been waiting for the day when Xie Chen nods his head.

"Soon, soon." Xie Chen replied, everything will be over soon, then she can marry Gu Hengyu with peace of mind.

There is no need to hide anything in the hearts of the two people now, and they both gave definite answers to each other.

"By the way, don't touch Gao Kun yet, wait for two days." Xie Chen said to Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu knew what Xie Chen meant, and he was also worried like her whether Gao Kun would keep something behind.

Tomorrow and the day after will be Xie Han's exam day, Xie Chen is a bit busy and has no time to spare time to interrogate Gao Kun, so he can only ask Gu Hengyu to help him.

"Okay." Gu Hengyu agreed.

After sending Xie Chen back to the prime minister's mansion, seeing the blood orange go in, Gu Hengyu's carriage turned around and headed towards the palace.

The matter of the four princes of Southern Chu has not been resolved yet, and now the emperor is very busy in the imperial study.

The fourth prince was favored by the Emperor of Southern Chu, if he hadn't been caught, even if the Emperor knew about it secretly, he would still be able to turn a blind eye.

But the problem now is that I don't know who spread the news, causing panic among the people, forcing the emperor to come up with a plan to reassure the people.

But if it is dealt with according to the laws of the country, the four princes of Southern Chu will have to peel off their skins if they are not dead. If this is the case, the foolish emperor of Southern Chu will probably raise troops against Yan Zhao.

It's not that he is afraid of the Emperor of Southern Chu, he just doesn't want to cause the common people to suffer because of his decision.

When there is a war, it will be a waste of life.

But if the four princes of Southern Chu were let go, it would appear that Yan Zhao had no national prestige, not to mention Yan Zhao's people, even he, the emperor, would not be reconciled.

After thinking about it, I could only call Gu Hengyu over.

If I sent someone to pass it on at noon, how come Gu Hengyu hasn't come yet now that the sun is about to set?

While the emperor was pacing in the imperial study, Gu Hengyu rushed to the palace after sending his thanks.

Before Gu Hengyu could salute him, he heard the emperor say: "Stop saluting, sit down and give me advice."

As for why the emperor didn't ask Yan Qing'an to find a solution, apart from his own subconscious feeling that Yan Qing'an was inferior to Gu Hengyu, he didn't want him to get involved in this matter.

Yan Qing'an is the crown prince, the heir apparent, and he will ascend the throne in the future.

If this decision loses popular support, it will have an impact on Yan Qing'an in the future.

But Gu Hengyu is different, even if he accidentally makes a mistake, at most it will fall from the altar in the hearts of the people.

How could Gu Hengyu not know what the emperor was thinking, he knew it like a mirror.

"When I came here, I had an immature idea." Gu Hengyu sat down and said to the emperor.

The emperor knew that Gu Hengyu was humiliating himself, and asked eagerly: "No matter what, as long as you can solve my problems, you can say it."

Gu Hengyu nodded, and continued: "According to my opinion, the emperor only needs to announce to the world that the four princes of Southern Chu are here to celebrate your birthday."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor fell into deep thought.

His birthday is neither too fast nor too slow, which happens to be half a month later.

In previous years, other countries would also send envoys with gifts to say auspicious words.

But every country has never sent a prince, especially a prince who will ascend to the throne without accident.

This seems too grand, and there is suspicion of being low-key and small.

Knowing what the emperor was worried about, Gu Hengyu explained: "This is Nan Chu's fault in the first place. In this way, the emperor can promote the country's prestige, and secondly, it can also warn Nan Chu."

"What's more, if the emperor took the trouble to help the four princes of Nanchu to hide it, but Nanchu still felt humiliated and wanted to send troops, it would be very contrary to ethics and morality. I don't want to say what Xiliang will do, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of discussions in the territory of Nanchu."

The emperor of Southern Chu was forced to accept this explanation, inferior to Yanzhao, unable to explain his suffering.

After hearing Gu Hengyu's words, the emperor frowned and thought about it for a while, then gradually relaxed.

"Okay! That's great! As expected of you!" The emperor laughed loudly, as if the admiration for Gu Hengyu in his eyes was about to overflow.

"The emperor's praise." Gu Hengyu stood up and bowed his hands.

After solving this problem, the emperor was in a good mood. When he saw Gu Hengyu saluting, he waved his hands and stood up and said, "You don't need to be so polite. If you have nothing to do at night, you can have dinner with me."

Gu Hengyu did not reject the emperor's kindness, but nodded yes.

During dinner, the master who taught in the upper study came over.

The reason is for tomorrow's exam, which is the one Xie Han is going to take.

This exam is only designed for the princes who go to the study in the palace, and it is to pick out talented people to serve the palace in advance.

And the master came here just to show the emperor the exam questions for tomorrow.

After reading it, the emperor nodded and said: "There is no problem, but you have to be stricter tomorrow, so that the situation of previous years does not appear."

The master knelt down and answered yes, and withdrew.

Gu Hengyu was listening beside him, knowing that what the emperor was talking about was that when the exams were about to end two years ago, he accidentally discovered a person who was copying books and cheating.

After looking at the man's test paper, it was almost close to full marks.

If it wasn't for the fact that the teacher's teacup accidentally fell down and frightened the man, he thought he had been discovered, and he was terrified to show his feet.

or else...

Therefore, more and more people pay attention to this matter now.

Thinking that Xie Chen has a younger brother who seems to be taking the exam tomorrow, Gu Hengyu plans to take a look at the place where the exam will be held tomorrow night to avoid any accidents.
