The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 88: Why Would Gu Ruoyun Have Such a Nephew

Gu Lingyu immediately shut his mouth. The entire Imperial Court fell into silence.

The Emperor rubbed his brows in discomfort. Then, he looked at Gu Lingyu and said, “No matter what, the Commander’s Seal is in your hands. If you don’t go to the battlefield, who will?”

Gu Lingyu gazed at everyone in the Imperial Court.

Gu Ruoyun’s group snorted coldly and turned their heads away. The others lowered their heads to avoid him.

Gu Lingyu’s eyes lit up when he thought of Gu Ruoyun.

“Emperor, Guang Pingwang is awake now. He can go to the battlefield. Besides, this is his Commander’s Seal, to begin with. He should go.”

A glimmer of light flashed in the Emperor’s eyes. This was his intention all along. He took a long trip to make Gu Lingyu say these words.

“If that’s the case, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Knowing that he did not need to battle, Gu Lingyu hurriedly nodded his head.

All the ministers looked at Gu Lingyu with ridicule. He was truly a loser.

He just received the Commander’s Seal not long ago, but now he had to give it back.

He even had to beg someone to take it.

They had a whole new understanding of Gu Ruoyun’s tricks.

From now on, no one should provoke Guang Pingwang.

The Emperor left the court meeting with a gentle expression.

He then returned to his bedroom and threw a tantrum. He noticed the ministers’ changes in the court today, but he could only allow Gu Ruoyun’s prestige to grow higher and surpass him as the Emperor.

Gu Lingyu left the court and rushed home. He kept his head lowered along the journey.

It was a clear contrast to his condition a few days ago.

Prime Minister Li, who had been severely humiliated by Gu Lingyu stopped him.

“Hey! Isn’t this our newly appointed Commandant Gu? Why is he in such a hurry today?”

“Exactly. Commandant Gu gave us a good show in the Imperial Court today, haha.”

These people were mocking him.

Gu Lingyu stared at Prime Minister Li, feeling embarrassed.

He took his pride seriously all this while, and now he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Don’t go too far.”

Prime Minister Li’s eyes changed. Seeing Gu Lingyu’s unyielding attitude, he approached him and threatened, “Gu Lingyu, do you think you still own it? Why are you so rude? Believe it or not, I can easily crush your family.”

Gu Lingyu took a step back and said, “If you dare to touch the Gu family, Guang Pingwang will not let you off.”

Prime Minister Li smiled indifferently, “You tried to seize his military rights before. Do you think Guang Pingwang will cover you up? Perhaps, Guang Pingwang might even thank me for killing you.”

Gu Lingyu recalled the incident when he went to show off in the Guang Residence. His face turned pale.

Prime Minister Li chuckled, “If Commandant Gu barks to me today, I’ll let you go. How about that?”

Gu Lingyu clenched his fists tightly. After a long while, a soft “woof” was heard.

Prime Minister Li and the others were stunned. They did not expect Gu Lingyu to play along.

Then, there was a burst of laughter.

Gu Lingyu’s face was flushed red and his veins were popping out.

Prime Minister Li did not let Gu Lingyu go, he went on, “It’s too soft, we couldn’t hear it. Commandant Gu, please make it louder.”

“That’s right, say it again.”

Everyone echoed.

Gu Lingyu raised his head abruptly, everyone was taken aback. Unexpectedly, Gu Lingyu revealed a flattering smile on his face. Prime Minister Li patted his face, “That’s right. You’ve already said it once, it doesn’t make any difference to say it again. More importantly, I’ll let you go if you say it.”

Gu Lingyu’s face turned pale. He closed his eyes and called out loudly.

Looking at Gu Lingyu acting cowardly, Prime Minister Li felt snubbed. He said, “Forget it. Who would argue with a dog?”

Then, he waved to the others, “Let’s go, I’m happy today. Let’s go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion, it’s on me. Let’s drink until we’re drunk.”
