PFC Chapter 286 Reporting
Chapter 286 Reporting
When he heard that she was here to see him, a smile immediately appeared on Ye Wu's originally businesslike face.
"Thank you for your concern, my wife. Everything is fine now that I am here."
Gu Qingyuan walked around his room and picked up a book on his desk.
"Do you usually watch these?"
Ye Wu nodded and said, "After I finish the things at hand, I will find time to read these books."
She was holding a copy of the Book of Songs. After flipping through it casually, she could see that Ye Wu had made a lot of marks in it.
Gu Qingyuan put the book back. Ye Wu was paying attention to her all the time, which made Gu Qingyuan feel a little funny.
"Why are you looking at me? Are you afraid that I will take your book?" She deliberately teased Ye Wu.
"No, no, no. If my wife likes it, it's okay to take all of these." Ye Wu explained almost hurriedly.
Gu Qingyuan sat down and said, "I'm just kidding, there's no need to be so nervous."
The two of them stayed like this quietly. After an hour and a half, Gu Qingyuan stood up and said, "I want to go back."
Ye Wu said with some reluctance: "Are you going back so soon?"
"Yeah, I have something to do at home."
She also had to resolve Lingyu's household registration issue as soon as possible.
Ye Wu walked her to the door and stood there for a while after watching her leave.
......
"Mother Queen! I have something important to report!"
The first thing the princess did when she returned to the palace was to take people to find the queen.
There was sweat on her forehead because she was in a hurry, but she was full of energy when she spoke.
"Why are you so panicked?"
The empress asked eunuch Li to bring tea to the princess and also gave her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
After drinking the water, the princess said word by word, "Mother Queen, I want to report Young Master Gu."
Hearing that it was related to Gu Qingyuan, the Queen couldn't help but ask, "What happened to her?"
The princess did not continue speaking, but glanced around.
When the empress dismissed the others and left only the two of them, she asked the princess, "You took people out, was it just for her?"
"Indeed, what I want to report is Young Master Gu's secret hoarding of treasures. Previously, when I was in Southern Xinjiang, I saw her being very intimate with a merman. Later, I led people to capture the merman, but he escaped. And today, I saw the mermaid again in Young Master Gu's home."
The Queen immediately stood up and said, "Are you telling the truth? There really are mermaids in this world."
"I guarantee with my integrity that I will not tell a single lie."
The Queen was silent for a moment, then asked her again, "It seems you were unsuccessful today."
Speaking of this, the princess said angrily, "It's all Seventh Brother's fault. Mother, you don't know, he actually used a forbidden technique today. He made the people I brought stand there as if they had lost their souls."
"What? I thought he could only temporarily remove his own soul from his body, but I didn't expect he could now control the souls of others to leave their bodies?"
The princess exaggerated, "Yes, mother. Now Young Master Gu has discovered the treasure but is keeping it secret, and then there's the forbidden technique used by the Seventh Prince. I feel that these two people may become a disaster sooner or later."
The Queen pondered, "But it's been so long, and I haven't heard anything about the Gu family having a mermaid. If I rashly try to steal her, I'm afraid I'll become a target of gossip."
"Hmph, do we need a reason to take her things? As long as you, the Queen Mother, give the order, she will hand it over obediently."
After all, this mermaid is so rare. If we can get him, we must stew him.
Then cut off his hands and let him watch himself die.
The princess was now filled with resentment, especially when she thought about how she had been put in a sack and severely beaten because of the mermaid, and had not been able to see anyone for a while.
The Queen did not speak immediately, but simply said to her: "I have my own plans, you go down first."
The princess retreated.
......
Gu family.
After Gu Qingyuan returned, he headed to southern Xinjiang without stopping.
She rode her horse and went out without anyone accompanying her.
On the way, she saw a familiar figure with a baby girl.
Without thinking too much, the most important thing for her now was to hurry on her way, so Gu Qingyuan withdrew her gaze and continued to drive forward.
When she was halfway there, she was suddenly surrounded by women holding several large knives.
Gu Qingyuan pulled the reins and the horse stopped with a "whoosh".
The women holding the machetes said fiercely, "You want to pass through here without even asking who we are."
"That's it, either hand over the money or keep your life!"
Gu Qingyuan drew out his sword and jumped off his horse gracefully.
"Want to rob me? Don't you think about how many lives you have?"
She fought with those people without any hesitation.
The women who robbed Gu Qingyuan relied on their numbers and thought they could knock her down quickly.
They smiled contemptuously at Gu Qingyuan and attacked her.
Gu Qingyuan dodged their attacks by turning sideways.
She was already in a bad mood, and these people just happened to come to her.
Just now, she could have just used her horse to trample over these people's bodies, but Gu Qingyuan still wanted to stretch her muscles and play with them.
The women were soon at a disadvantage and were beaten by Gu Qingyuan so badly that they couldn't even stand up.
Gu Qingyuan thrust the sword into a woman's hand. The sword went right through her palm, causing her to scream in agony.
"what--"
The sound made everyone around tremble when they heard it.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the others again. They swallowed and said, "We are the ones who don't know what's good for us. Please spare our lives, hero."
"Now you know how to beg for mercy."
Gu Qingyuan quickly pulled the sword back from the woman's hand, and immediately, blood began to ooze from the woman's injured hand.
She covered her hand, almost fainting from the pain.
"Do you still dare to block the way?" she asked.
The remaining women quickly made way for Gu Qingyuan with flattering smiles on their faces.
"I wish you have a nice trip!"
Gu Qingyuan got on the horse again and hurried forward.
She encountered no more obstacles along the way.
When passing by Xiancheng, she suddenly thought of the Xiancheng County Magistrate.
The magistrate of Xiancheng County was devoted to the people and even used his own money to subsidize these people. After he returned, he actually forgot about this matter.
It seems that I have to report to His Majesty after I return.
The previous flood in southern Xinjiang left many people homeless, and their identity information needed to be re-registered.
Gu Qingyuan found a man who was about the same age as Ling Yu. That man had been drowned during the flood, and planned to borrow that man's identity.
It was two days later when she finally settled the matter, and Gu Qingyuan continued on her journey back.
