Chapter 369: Reprimand

Bai Linfei took a deep breath and said, "I can also understand the current affairs, why don't you ask?"

Gu Du replied: "Because you have superpowers in your life, I'm not at ease, you must die."

Bai Linfei said: "Everything was done by Xu Zijun."

Gu Du said: "I know, but Xu Zijun is just a strategist and doesn't even know martial arts. I don't worry."

Bai Linfei sneered and said, "If you have the ability, you have become a death talisman."

Gu Duying said: "Not bad."

Bai Linfei said: "The woman you saved is also a spirit-controlling warlock."

Gu Du said: "I know that if she recognizes me as her father, she will not rebel against me. Moreover, she is a woman. I can't bear to kill her. Even if she wants to rebel against me, I will have to wait until she does it before I can do it."

Bai Linfei laughed twice, coughed up another mouthful of blood, and gasped for a while before saying, "I'm so lucky to meet you, give me some fun."

Gu Du slapped down with one palm, and Bai Linfei lost his breath.

Gu Du returned to the mansion of Oriental Chronicles and ordered people to report their demise to the imperial city overnight, then sent people to build a coffin, and set up a mourning hall in the mansion.

Dongfang Zhi sat in his room, thinking about what Gu Du said to him.

Gu Du said that Dongfang Zhi had to pretend to die, and when he saw the emperor, everything had to be done as real. Only in this way can he hide the detailed work of the Ling Kingdom and allow the Ling Emperor to obtain wrong information and facilitate subsequent actions.

Dongfangzhi didn't really believe that his father and mother would turn against Gu Du for him. It was certain that he felt uncomfortable, but could he really blame Gu Du for everything as Gu Du said?

Dongfang Zhi was very eager to know the answer, but at the same time he was a little scared because Gu Du said that he would lie in the coffin and transport it back to the imperial city. Gu Du wouldn't suffocate him to death in the coffin, right?

Only the twenty closest guards in the whole mansion knew the truth, and Gu Du warned these twenty guards that once the news leaked, they and their families would be sentenced to death, regardless of whether it was their fault or not!

The next day, Emperor Ze received the death news, and he held it in one breath. It took him a long time to recover and cry out loud.

Li Xia was also heartbroken. She never expected that Gu Du said he was going to find the remnants of Lingguo, but ended up killing Dongfangzhi. She believed in Gu Du because Gu Du never lies, especially for such a big thing.

"It's all his fault!" Zedi suddenly jumped up and shouted at Li Xia: "It's all your good brothers, I have to drive Zhi'er out of the imperial city. Now Zhi'er is dead! Are you satisfied?"

Li Xia said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you can't blame your brother for this matter. It's Zhi'er who has made mistakes first."

"You still have to protect him?" Zedi raised his hand and pointed at Li Xia's face, and angrily rebuked: "In your heart, even your biological son is not as important as him. You have not given up until now? Okay! I will send an order to let you leave the palace, and you can go find him!"

Li Xia stared at him, held back her tears and stood up, saying, "Okay, thank you for your favor over the years."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Zedi shouted, "My son is dead! You are still like this! Do you still have some conscience?"

Li Xia suddenly turned around and shouted sharply: "Didn't Zhi'er give birth to me? You are the emperor! You must distinguish right from wrong!"

Emperor Ze shouted, "Isn't the emperor a human? Can't the emperor feel sorry for his son if he dies? If it weren't for Gu Du, how could Zhi'er die? If Zhi'er was still in the imperial city, how could he die! What is right and wrong? No matter how great his achievements are, he is also a subject. How could the minister force the emperor to drive the prince out of the imperial city?"

Li Xia suddenly felt a slump, and then he began to feel panic. Emperor Ze shouted outside: "Come on the imperial official! I want to draw an order!"

Li Xia asked in surprise: "What order do you want to draw?"

Emperor Ze shouted, "Rareless! I am the emperor. What order do I want to draw? Do you still need your grace?"

Li Xia sighed and said, "I am talking nonsense, the emperor calms down, and I will leave."

After Li Xia finished speaking, she turned around and left. Emperor Ze ignored her. After all, she was so upset that her son was driven out of the imperial city. In less than a year, he died in vain. Apart from yelling, he could not do anything to Gu Du.

In fact, what makes Emperor Ze the most angry is Li Xia's attitude. His son is dead and he still protects Gu Du like this. Not to mention that he is the emperor, even an ordinary farmer can't stand his wife being blindly biased towards outsiders, right?

Emperor Ze ordered the imperial officials to write an imperial decree to reprimand, with extremely resentful and harsh words. After writing, he immediately sent someone to Gu Du. At this time, Gu Du was escorting the coffin back to the imperial city.

When he received the imperial edict, it was at night that day. When the person who sent the imperial edict was reciting the imperial edict, Dongfangzhi was lying in the coffin and had not yet slept, waiting for Gu Du to let him out for fun.

After hearing the imperial edict, Dongfangzhi said that he was not good, what was his feeling in his heart. He did not expect that his father, who had always seemed weak, would turn against Gu Du for his death.

A quarter of an hour later, the lid of the coffin was opened, and Dongfangzhi saw Gu Du's expression as usual, as if the imperial edict just now was not rebuked by him.

Dongfang Zhi sat up and looked at Gu Du and said, "Uncle, you have been wronged. After the overall situation is stable, your father will know that he has blamed you wrongly."

Gu Du said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, come out."

Dongfangzhi came out to play for half an hour, and it was convenient to eat and drink water, and then returned to the coffin to sleep. After Gu Du built the coffin, he returned to the tent.

As soon as he sat down, the curtain was lifted open, Ji Shuangjing walked in, walked directly to him and sat down, looking at him sideways.

Gu Du laughed and said, "I am not wronged. Blood is thicker than water. It is normal for human nature. Go back and rest."

Ji Shuangjing said: "I want to tell you, I think the emperor has been resentful to you for a long time, but he has never had any hair. This time, it's just an introduction."

Gu Du nodded and replied, "I know."

Ji Shuangjing was silent for a while and asked, "Is it worth it?"

Gu Du replied: "For me, there is nothing worth it in this world, only things that should be done or not."

Ji Shuangjing nodded and asked again: "Have you ever thought about being an emperor by yourself?"

Gu Du's eyes turned cold, and Ji Shuangjing said, "I'm not doing it carefully. You have won the world. Now the court is full of you. Without you, the country of Ze cannot unify the world. I'm just asking."

Gu Du shook his head and said, "It's not good to be an emperor, the burden is too heavy, and it's worth doing well. If you don't do well, everyone will scold you and even give you a bad reputation for it for thousands of years."

Ji Shuangjing was silent for a while and asked again: "After clearing the remnants of the Ling Kingdom, will you retire?"

Gu Du looked at her and said with a smile: "You seem to understand my thoughts very much."

Ji Shuangjing lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Stop, I'm back."
