Chapter 132
"If you can't do it, just do it. I will avenge Chu'er myself."

Yan Yabo threw Gou Yue aside and raised the knife with his hand. The person opposite him had his neck cut off.

Blood spurted out from his neck, and the wooden door, the sand, and the face of Tai Yaoer who was kneeling on the ground were all bright red.

As soon as Gou Yue hesitated, Yao'er, who just thought he could save his father, opened his eyes wide, and then let out a sharp cry.

Gou Yue froze on the spot, Yan Yabo's movements were too fast.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she was blaming Yan Ya for killing her master, or regretting that she had lost the opportunity to kill her enemy with her own hands due to her hesitation.

Yan Yabo pulled Gou Yue, who was stunned on the spot, and said that he could not stay at the wine shop any longer.

He has been keeping an eye on the wine shop for many years, and this is the stronghold of Wuchongtang in Ruozhi.

There was so much movement here right now, it was inevitable that no one would come.

After all, we were on Ruozhi's territory. One more thing was better than one less thing. Since the great revenge had been avenged, it was only right to leave as soon as possible.

Tai Yaoer shook his head dully: "No, no, dad... wake up quickly..."

She could no longer stand up and crawled to her father's side.

Blood was still pouring out, and Yao'er stretched out his hand tremblingly to block the wound, but it was in vain.

The viscous liquid seeped out from between her fingers and stained her arms red. Yao'er wore new clothes that had not been starched today.

She looked at Gou Yue's back, clenching her fists tightly, her nails deeply embedded in the flesh, and she couldn't tell whether the blood in her palms was hers or her father's blood.

"Tai Gou Yue, I will let you get retribution."

On the way back, Yan Yabo and Gou Yue remained silent as before.

Getting revenge was not as satisfying as I had imagined, but it made me wonder what to do next.

In the past countless years, Yan Yabo's only pillar in life was revenge, but now he didn't know what to do.

Gou Yue asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I don't know. There's nowhere to go. Let's keep going back to the cave."

"where do you want to go?"

"Go back to Liangzhu, there are very important people of mine there."

After walking for who knows how long, Gou Yue said again, "Are you going to Liangzhu?"

Yan Yabo smiled, "No need, I'm used to being at ease, but I feel cramped when I go to a crowded place."

Gou Yue wanted to return to Yandi to bury her mother, but did not stay at Hutou Peak any longer.

Riding lightly on a fast horse, it was already midsummer when she returned to Liangzhu.

The scorching sun was scorching this already dry city, and pedestrians on the street put on light crew-neck robes, exposing most of their arms.

The vendors who used to yell at pedestrians now lost their energy and fell wilted under the shade of the big tree.

Gou Yue felt a bit windy while riding her horse, but she still felt sweltering.

"Girl, why are you back?"

When Gou Yue arrived home, Jin Ge was pouring water on the ground of the small house, so that the sun could absorb part of the heat from the ground and the people in the yard could be cooler.

Gou Yue came back suddenly and did not write a letter in advance. Fortunately, it was summer, and the bedding and other things were dried thoroughly in a short time under the sun.

Gou Yue looked around and asked, "Where is A Yuan?"

"My lord went to the palace last night."

Gou Yue was surprised, "I went to the palace last night, why haven't I come back yet?"

Wen Yuanzhi had gone to the palace before for business, but he had never spent the night in the palace.

"Maybe Lord Wen has some important matters to deal with in the palace."

The sun sets late in the summer, and it’s not completely dark yet.

Gou Yue sat beside the bed with the window open. The wind at night was much cooler than during the day.

"Gouyue?"

Wen Yuanzhi's slightly tired figure stood at the door of the bedroom, "When did you come back?"

He looked much thinner, and Gou Yue even felt that he could no longer stand and would collapse in front of her in the next second.

She stood up and supported Wen Yuanzhi, "I came back earlier today."

"Have you finished everything Beichu has to do?"

"Yes, I brought my mother back to my hometown."

"You've lost weight." Wen Yuanzhi touched Gou Yue's cheek. She was leaner and darker than before.

Gou Yue lay on Wen Yuanzhi's chest. She felt that his body was like ice, cold and brittle.

She didn't even dare to lie hard on A Yuan's chest, she thought she would crush A Yuan's chest.

"Ayuan, is there anything important in the palace?"

Wen Yuanzhi snorted, "There are some."

"More important than yourself?"

Gou Yue reached out and touched Wen Yuanzhi's eyebrows. He was also haggard, his face was not as smooth as before, and there was a faint trace of wrinkles on his forehead.

The Prime Minister Wen, who is in charge of the twelve ministers in the cabinet, has silver threads growing on his head.

Obviously he was not like this when he left Liangzhu.

She thought she could hear A Yuan's heartbeat changing from slow to fast.

"Yes, more important than myself."

It was late at night, and the two people embracing each other had their own thoughts.

"Where is that good place you mentioned that is warm in winter and cool in summer? Let's go and see it when we have the chance."

Wen Yuanzhi didn't know whether Gou Yue was asleep or not. He seemed to be telling Gou Yue to hear it, but also seemed to be telling it to himself.

"It's Anyang, my mother's hometown. It's pretty magical there. There's cultivated land, pastures, and a small mountain in a small place. Even though the mountain isn't high, there's still snow on it. There's snow on the mountain. The snow never melts all year round, and there are green grass at the foot of the mountain. It’s a great place to experience four seasons in one day.”

The corners of Wen Yuanzhi's lips raised slightly, "It's really a good place."

"Ayuan, why are you asking this? Are your matters about to be finished?"

There was silence in the room again.

Wen Yuanzhi didn't know what he should tell Gou Yue, and things in the court became more and more complicated.

"Go to sleep, I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

"You want to enter the palace? Is there something difficult?"

"Gou Yue, Your Majesty is dead."

"what?"

For a moment, Gou Yue didn't know what Wen Yuanzhi meant when he said he couldn't succeed. Was it because the emperor couldn't succeed?Or is it something else?

The last time I saw him, he was calm and collected, and he was carrying the air of an emperor.

Wen Yuanzhi patted Gou Yue on the back and said, "It's okay. Go to sleep."

Royal Palace.

The imperial doctors at the imperial hospital were divided into three waves, and changed their duties at Mo Du's bedside every four hours.

After the outing at Xiaocang Peak a few months ago, the imperial doctor told Mo Du to take less time to worry about state affairs and to take care of him with peace of mind, so that he might be able to survive a little longer.

Modu promised on the surface, but in fact he had not been idle for a day, and now he was running out of gas.Lingering on the sickbed, he still couldn't take any time off.

He had tried every means to sit up on his own, and even in this state, he still had to criticize.

If he couldn't read it himself, he would ask the chief eunuch to read it to him; if he couldn't write it himself, he would call his ink attendant to the bedside to write for him.

He didn't have a few days left to live, and he couldn't leave the mess in the court to his son.

The more you deal with, the less your children will have to deal with.

The crown prince he and Han Cheng had died in infancy, and he had yet to decide on the position of the new crown prince.

Yuan Minzhi has no strength and no city government. If he were in power, making him a general would make full use of his talents, and he would never be able to become an emperor.

That kid Yuan Xin is so arrogant. He obviously only has a seven-point ability, but he can blow out a ten-point.

Thinking that he was too tired after a long day, Mo Du shook his head and fell asleep.

His waking hours were getting less and less, and eventually he discovered it himself.

It was obviously just after noon, and I was very sleepy. If I fell asleep, it would probably be dawn the next day.

Wen Yuanzhi came to the palace again. He was there almost every day.

When Mo Du was awake, the king and his ministers discussed some state affairs, and when Mo Du fell asleep, he made decisions for Mo Du.

Wen Yuanzhi knew that Mo Du was not a disease, but that he suffered backlash from nourishing Gu with blood just like himself.

Not to mention the imperial doctor, no doctor in the world could save him.

Looking at Mo Du on the dragon bed, he actually felt a trace of fear in his heart.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Gou Yue would be frightened if he looked like this.

I don't know how she will cry by the window when the time comes.

"But the imperial doctor's method is useful after all. At least His Majesty has not vomited blood in such a terrible way." Wen Yuanzhi comforted himself silently in his heart. Maybe he would be like His Majesty and lose weight peacefully until the time comes. at last.

The next day, Wen Yuanzhi, who had been staying in the palace, finally waited until Modu woke up.

Mo Du was very weak and even spoke intermittently.

He called Wen Yuanzhi to him and said, "You are not an outsider at this time. You have seen me like this. A country cannot be without a king for a day. You have been in the court for many years, and you can be considered helpful to the children of the Yuan family." Understood. Tell me who is worthy of this important task."

After all, Wen Yuanzhi was a minister in the matter of establishing the crown prince and could not intervene directly. He could only analyze the pros and cons of the princes in front of Mo Du.

Modu was not confused at the moment, he could hear the obvious tilt in Wen Yuanzhi's language.

The person Wenyuan likes is the person Modu cares about.

Wen Yuanzhi took paper and pen, and Mo Du struggled to write word by word.

The eunuch took the jade seal and sealed it, and the edict was considered effective and would only be read out after the dust settled.

Modu fell asleep again, and Wen Yuanzhi was also preparing to return home.

After Gou Yue came back, he stopped staying in the palace and would go out of the palace every day no matter how late it was.

Gou Yue will wait for herself every night, and it will be the same tonight.

I went back early today, and Gou Yue was still having dinner.

Perhaps the high temperature for days had left her with little appetite, so there were a few cold side dishes on the table.

Wen Yuanzhi asked Jin Ge to add bowls and chopsticks and sit down. He felt so bored today that he hadn't eaten anything decent all day. Now that he saw Gou Yue eating deliciously, he also wanted to try Jin Ge's craftsmanship.

Gou Yue saw Wen Yuanzhi put a chopstick of cucumber into the bowl, and swiveled Wen Yuanzhi's chopsticks, and the cucumber was already in her bowl.

"Ayuan, Li Xianchen said you can't eat raw or cold food, I asked Jin Ge to add another stir-fried dish."

Wen Yuanzhi curled his lips and said that he just wanted to taste how appetizing the cucumbers were.

Gou Yue refused and brought a whole plate of cucumbers in front of her.

"A Yuan can't eat anymore at this hour. Li Xianchen said that eating so late will increase your burden."

"Oh, by the way, you didn't eat in the palace today. Why do you look so hungry?"

While talking, Jin Ge added boiled kale and fried shredded potatoes.

Wen Yuanzhi said that when Magatama lowered his head, he picked up a handful of cold golden needles and stuffed them into his mouth.

By the time Gou Yue saw it, it was already too late, and Wen Yuanzhi had swallowed the golden needle in his mouth like a gulp.

"you……"

Gou Yue didn't know what to say. He was the prime minister of a country, but he still acted like a child.

Wen Yuanzhi also pretended to be angry, "Every day is longer than being separated from Xianchen, but he is shorter than being separated from Xianchen. Didn't he tell you that sick people can eat whatever they want?"

"I……"

If Wen Yuanzhi was as strong as Ji Pu at this moment, Gou Yue would definitely jump up and chase him.

Looking at Wen Yuanzhi's thin arms and legs, Gou Yue was afraid that she would break another bone and he would have to lie in bed for several months without being able to get up.

Then he thought about it, it would be better to lie in bed for several months without getting up, which would save him the trouble of worrying about this and that every day, and not taking his body seriously at all.

The two of them were fighting and fussing all the way to the bedroom.

When they got to the bedroom, Wen Yuanzhi found the "weapon", picked up the pillow on the bed and greeted Gou Yue's face.

Putting a pillow over, Gou Yue said angrily, "I said, do you respect the moral principles of the world? You can't hit people in the face."

Lord Xiaowen made a face. Gou Yue really didn't expect that the face of Lord Xiaowen, who was always serious and frosty, could be so flexible, "What are you talking about? I'm not one of you people."

The evening breeze brought a slight chill, and the two people, tired from playing, lay on the bed.

The two of them stopped talking and didn't listen. At this moment, they were still talking to each other.

After Gou Yue finished speaking, Wen Yuanzhi didn't answer, and she realized that he had fallen asleep.

She turned around and stared at Wen Yuanzhi. She liked staring at him, he liked it when he was awake and he liked it when he was asleep.

Jin Ge knocked on the door gently, "Girl, sir, someone is coming from the palace."

Jin Ge had just finished speaking, and before Gou Yue had time to reply, Wen Yuanzhi sat up suddenly.

Wen Yuanzhi knew what it meant when someone came to the palace at this moment.

Tai Yao'er prefers Yan Di to Ruozhi.

Ruozhi is not particularly hot even in summer, so you have to wear long sleeves all year round, and wear a mask every time you go out when the weather is windy and sandy.

Every time he thinks of this, Tai Yaoer's hatred for Gou Yue becomes even more intense.

If it weren't for her, why would I be like this?

It's all because of her, from the beginning.

If it hadn't been for her, Senior Brother Gu Mo wouldn't have failed in his assassination, Ordinary Hall wouldn't have been wiped out, and his mother wouldn't have died.

She had harmed herself like this, and she had not forgotten to go to Baishi Desert to kill her father, leaving herself helpless.

Hatred made Tai Yaoer irrational. She infinitely magnified her suffering without mentioning anything about what she and Changtongtang had done.

After Gou Yue killed his father, Tai Yao'er returned to Ruozhi alone.

She knew that she couldn't kill Gou Yue and the Yan Ya Bo behind her.

If she wants revenge, she can only take over the power of Tongluo.

She wants revenge. She not only wants to kill Gou Yue and Yan Yabo, but also Wen Yuanzhi. Doesn't she care about her very much? Then she will kill him in front of her.

It made her feel the pain of having the most important person die in front of her eyes.
