The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
Chapter 501

Chapter 501

Thinking about his life of getting up before even the rooster crow every day and sleeping less than three hours every night, Qin Jiu looked at him with sympathy and pity in her eyes. She generously patted his shoulders and smiled. “You’re the one. Don’t work too hard, I’ll take care of you in the future!”

Gu Zezhi: “…”

He laughed softly and his chest and shoulders shook slightly.

Qin Jiu felt the world was spinning for a while and was caught off guard when she was suddenly pressed on the couch by him. She almost let out a low cry, but thinking that Du Rou and others were still outside, she gritted her teeth and did not dare to make a sound.

Gu Zezhi buried his head between her neck, smelling the faint fragrance on her body. Although it had the same smell as his, it seemed to have a slight sweetness on her body.

It was a while before she heard him whisper, “Okay.”

Okay, let us get you raise!

However, Qin Jiu soon regretted this.

She should not have said such a big thing. This person has such a big appetite, how could she have the ability to support him!

Qin Jiu slept until dawn in the morning every day. Normally, she had no idea when Gu Zezhi got up, but occasionally when she was half asleep and half awake, she noticed movements around her, so she would open her eyes before turning over and continue sleeping.

The same was true on the 25th day of the lunar month; while she was sleeping peacefully, the court was not peaceful at all.

In the early morning, the Imperial Court received a report from Yuzhou. Wang Yu solemnly accused Gu Xi and Princess Duan Rou of not returning to Yuzhou and that it was the emperor who had deceived and detained them. In addition, Wang Yu stated that he did not send anyone to set fire to the Tai’an Palace, as traitors were framing him to provoke a relationship between the imperial court and Yuzhou.

In the morning court, the emperor thunderously slapped and rebuked the case. “Telling lies with his eyes wide open! Wang Yu wants to protect Gu Xi and remove him clean.”

In the past, opinions were divided in court regarding the issue between Yuzhou and Wang Yu. However, this time, courtiers were surprisingly united and agreed that Wang Yu was truly shameless. Gu Xi had already returned to Yuzhou with the Empress Dowager Fang, and yet Wang Yu wanted to blame the emperor.

Before sealing the edict, the emperor issued another edict announcing to the world and reprimanding Wang Yu for his dishonesty, concealment, evil intentions, and so on.

Under the deliberate indulgence of the court, this matter spread widely in the capital, with all the blame pointing directly to the father and son, Wang Yu.

From the common people to the literati, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as they discussed in the streets, alleys, tea houses, and restaurants.

“Wang Yu is planting evidence to frame himself!”

“That’s right, Wang Yu let his son come to the capital to stir up trouble like this, I think he must have some sinister intentions!”

“Hmph, I think it’s just ambition and ulterior motives.”

“…”

Various discussions and speculations have not subsided for several days, and have become increasingly intense.
