Chapter 105 Ugly Ghost Gu Yunqi
"What are you doing?! Guards, get them out of here!"
Qin Wanyue struggled to run away, but two old women dragged her into the hall and began to strip her clothes off. "It's no use calling for the Imperial Concubine. The Prime Minister said that if you don't obey..."
The two old women exchanged a glance, and Qin Wanyue gradually stopped struggling and let them do as they pleased.
If she doesn't obey, she'll be abandoned, and then she'll never be able to sit on the throne of empress in her lifetime!
At this moment, Jun Shuyan, who was in the imperial prison, looked at the motionless General of Longxi with a sullen face and said with suppressed displeasure, "What, this whole world belongs to me, and now I can't even enter a small imperial prison?"
"The war in the north is critical. Your Majesty should pay more attention to how General Weiyuan should lead his troops and deploy defenses. Why do you keep coming to see an old, disgraced subject like me?"
Gu Wenhuai's strong voice came from inside, and Jun Shuyan's face darkened even more upon hearing it.
What a wonderful grandmother she is! She can still reach so far. Judging from the sound, this old woman must be having a very comfortable time in this prison!
General Longxi's beard was already white, but his eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, looked at Jun Shuyan. "Does Your Majesty remember the first sentence of the late Emperor's edict of succession?"
Jun Shuyan raised an eyebrow and General Longxi continued, "This humble general has come to the imperial prison on the orders of the Empress Dowager, bearing the tiger tally. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider your actions."
How could that incompetent Qin Qiao possibly defend the north? If that old man is still of any use, even if the king wanted to execute him, he wouldn't choose this critical moment.
"Be close to virtuous ministers and keep away from petty men." The Emperor's current actions are contrary to these six words. I wonder when he will realize his mistake and return to the right path?
Jun Shuyan narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't expected his grandmother to bring out the tiger tally. Just for such a stubborn old fool?
Hmph! He'll get it someday! He'll make his grandmother willingly hand it over to him!
Once Helian Yue's entire family is wiped out, what worries will he have left? He can do whatever he wants then, and it won't be up to a bunch of old guys to control him.
He left unwillingly, while the remaining General Longxi sighed deeply on the spot.
Without General Helian, how can we defend the north? That traitor only dares to be so arrogant because he heard that the general is dead.
I don't know how long his old bones will last on the battlefield. I hope the Emperor can see through the true colors of those treacherous officials and wake up soon.
……
"Qianqian, I feel like I've seen that old man in your yard before."
Gu Yunqi fiddled with a mask in his hand, carefully recalling the old man of this age he had seen before.
Last night, he got hungry and went outside to find something to eat. He heard voices coming from the side room, so he quietly crept over and saw an old man and a baby lying on the bed.
Jun Qianzi put down the incredibly realistic human skin mask in his hand and said, "Your injuries have only just begun to heal, can't you just lie down and rest?"
He remembered that this guy wasn't this greedy before, so why is he forgetting his mistakes now?
Gu Yunqi put the mask on his face and chuckled, "I have to say, everything in that girl's shop is absolutely delicious! Now we can eat out openly and legitimately!"
He said this with a smug look on his face, already thinking about what he would buy to eat when he went out later.
Jun Qianzi looked at him with satisfaction; that smug face had been replaced by a face covered in pimples and freckles.
"Qianqian, quickly put yours on and see."
After looking at his own face in the bronze mirror, Gu Yunqi then went to scrutinize Jun Qianzi's face.
Jun Qianzi slapped his hand away and put the mask on her own face, quite satisfied with the other version of herself in the mirror.
Fortunately, he met his friend, otherwise Gu Yunqi would have difficulty going out now, and his fussing would have made things much better.
Once I find Ah Yue, I can go to that friend and ask for a card myself. Things will be much easier from now on.
Gu Yunqi grabbed a cane from beside the bed and ran outside. Jun Qianzi tore off her mask, carefully hid it, and then chased after him.
"Little medicine boy, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!"
Gu Yunqi patted Yunhua's little shoulder and asked with a smile, while an ugly fake face approached his little face.
Yunhua was already startled by the sudden sound, and now seeing his face made her even more frightened, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Awooo! Ahhh! Master! Master! It's a ghost! Waaaaah!"
"What an ugly ghost!"
The little guy quickly got up and ran into the yard, bumping into Jun Qianzi who was walking out as soon as he stepped across the threshold.
"Yunhua! That's Master's friend, not a ghost!"
Jun Qianzi pulled him close, gently stroking his head and whispering, "My friend is just a little ugly, but he's not a bad person."
Yunhua looked at her master with tearful eyes, and then at the ugly Gu Yunqi, she still couldn't quite accept it.
Waaaaah, how can someone be so ugly?! How can such a handsome master have such an ugly friend? Why did they suddenly appear in broad daylight?!
Gu Yunqi pouted and sat outside, somewhat annoyed.
He was a bit ugly, but how could he possibly be a ghost? He just wanted to thank that little guy; after all, it was the little guy who brewed the medicine he was supposed to drink, so he was just thanking him...
It took Yunhua a while to recover. Hesitantly, she walked over, took a deep breath, and said to Gu Yunqi, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were a ghost."
Gu Yunqi grinned. "What's wrong with that? I'm not angry. Do you want some dessert or something from Miaomiao?"
Yunhua's eyes sparkled as she savored Hechuan peach slices, peanut brittle, taro paste, potato cakes, and layered cakes...
He wants to eat them all!
Gu Yunqi flicked his head. "I'll bring you one of everything."
Yunhua happily circled around him once, then returned to the medicine cabinet to continue fetching medicine.
Wen Luozhi's first reaction to seeing Gu Yunqi at the Dessert House today was not much better than Yunhua's.
Calm down, Wen Luozhi. You've seen all the ugliest people, what is this guy compared to you?
Wen Luozhi wore her signature smile, looking at Gu Yunqi as if she were looking at any other person.
"Young master, what would you like to order?"
Gu Yunqi was a little surprised. He was disgusted by his ugly appearance. He would have been reluctant to come out if it weren't for this.
Many people pointed and whispered about him on the way here, but I didn't expect this small business owner to be so calm.
With a wicked thought forming in his mind, he said in a flippant tone, "Little girl, bring out the prettiest pastries in your shop, preferably as beautiful as you. I can't eat the ugly ones."
Wen Luozhi, her expression unchanged, was inwardly laughing hysterically: Really... just because you're ugly, you have to eat pretty things? That doesn't change the fact that you're ugly, buddy...
Suppressing a laugh, she packed up a portion of Lion Dance Pastry and Hibiscus Cake and handed them to him with a smile, saying, "Young master, these two pastries are the most beautiful in our shop, costing one tael and one mace in total."
