Chapter 72 News
Gu Yue's "I Have Medicine" Academy was officially opened after a lot of preparations. For a time, everyone in the Chu State thought they wanted to get closer and closer to them.
Especially Gu Yue's teaching principle of regardless of the high and low status immediately made ordinary people praise the hymns. The technique of refining medicine, which has always been like a castle in the air to them, suddenly became within reach, making more and more people feel that the refining world of Chu has really been transformed.
"He left all the noble children who had been tested before?"
"To be precise, except for Miss Tang's third son, he left all the noble children."
"Where are those people from the Alchemist Association before?"
"Mr. Gu also stayed behind without hesitation."
"Do you think there is anything wrong with this?"
"It is true that Master Gu is not simple. However, this time he returned to his hometown, His Majesty gave him favors and expectations. At least the current arrangement is not obvious, and there are rewards from the nobles. Although Master Gu treats everyone equally, the professor must be very patient. Every time he gives lectures, he strives to make everyone understand in his own way before he will give up."
"If this is the case, isn't he resentful at all? I don't believe it, especially when Tang Jihuang came to the palace, he also went to his place."
"Yes, it is reported that Miss Tang San disguised Miss Tang Er as herself and sneaked out of the Tang family army camp. Only then did she escape from the general's sight. After that, she didn't stay with Gu Yue for too long, Miss Tang San pulled Miss Tang Er back."
"Hmph, you underestimate that guy Tang Wentian too much. If he really doesn't want his daughter to go out, how could he hide it by just a disguise?"
"That's true. The general probably can tell who it is just by just a slight sense of the breath or pace."
"So, this guy must have his plans to tear the engagement openly and drive Gu Yue out of their home. But in fact, he did not really stop his daughter from contacting Gu Yue or even having sex. And it was not limited to Tang Jihuang. If I couldn't even see the tricks in it, that would be a big deal!"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, don't worry. This time, the method of using Miss Shangguan to restrain Lord Gu is indeed feasible, and the effect is obvious, not to mention that President Shangguan is His Majesty's person."
"Well, that old guy is full of money, but he is never vague at the critical moment. He must have started selling his daughter very early. After all, he will definitely make a lot of money in Gu Yue's investment. Do you know how they divided the transactions?"
"I found it clear, I found it too incredible."
“How to say it?”
"It is clear that Master Gu is the leader in the transaction. Without him, this kind of transaction would not be possible. But in fact, he only had some herbs and 10% of the share, and this share was placed in the hands of Miss Shangguan, which means that he gave most of the interests to President Shangguan."
"Oh? It's actually like this? It seems that this little guy is not very ambitious!"
"Indeed, His Majesty is far-sighted in planning ahead."
"Stop being afraid of flattery. If you want you to be a fool, don't give me some silence. Don't learn from those guys who keep talking and praise me!"
"Yes, your Majesty taught me that the poor minister is aware of the crime."
"Then tell me, what exactly does this little guy want?"
"It's not for profit, but Lord Gu is good at growing himself. It's not long since he was a beggar, and his experience is indeed quite rich. It is reported that Princess Murong Di of Chen State had close contact with Lord Gu. Not only did they have a private meeting, but they also had a banquet that belonged only to them before returning to China. Of course, Miss Tang Si, Miss Shangguan and the lady of the Sun family were also attending the banquet at the same time."
"He would never be greedy for beauty when he hooked up with that conceited little girl. I think it's mostly because he continues to have a good relationship with the academy to get a elixir recipe of the fourth grade or above."
"That's right, according to my observation, although Lord Gu is not mature enough to meet his age, he is not the kind of lustful person. Moreover, the beauties around him appear one by one, but he seems to be the second lady of the Tang family."
"Hmph! When I mentioned this girl, Tang Jihuang, I was angry. What's the point of my son not worthy of him? He actually kept the princess and squatted at home to pretend to be sick. He would have been pretending to be sick for several years!"
"About this, she was actually poisoned at that time. Although there was something strange, even if she pretended, she was pretending thoroughly. After consultation with the Imperial Hospital, it was also cold poison and a stubborn disease. That poisoning might only induce the stubborn disease. After pursuing its root cause, it should be poisoned at the same time as Miss Tang San."
"Why did she suddenly start to jump around again? The poison is gone?"
"If I had expected it was good, and Lord Gu was involved, Your Majesty thought it was him who refined some special pill?"
"It may not be impossible. After all, he can feed it to the monster. A cold poison should not cause him. And I heard that he always says he is full of poison?"
"Yes, Lord Gu always said that he had 'there was too much poison and would not suppress his body'. Many imperial physicians and famous doctors have diagnosed him. Indeed, he has many unknown toxins on his body. The root cause should be the wandering and displaced when his family was chased when they were destroyed."
"Does the forces that have been chasing him before have any clues?"
"When the time on the mountain was wiped out by the Tang family army, there was no survivor or information left behind, the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce did have the possibility of those people participating, but after all, the Alchemist Association and the people behind it were the ones who dominated. As for the two times in Chen State, the evidence pointed to their emperor's eldest grandson."
"Okay, keep checking these things, only if this little guy Gu Yue is in his hand is useful..."
"Abide by the order!"
Gu Yue's every move naturally aroused the interest of Emperor Chu. This was not uncommon, but another news came from Chen State, which made Gu Yue confused.
"The second emperor's grandson died suddenly?!"
When he heard this news, Gu Yue wondered if he had been fooled by Murong Di. "That poisonous blood was not used on the head of the emperor Changsun, but was given to the second emperor's grandson? Does a wheelchair boy have to work so much? Could it be that he has my strength or luck?!"
"Why are you so surprised by this news?" It was Sun Yiyue who brought the news, but she didn't understand why Murong Di wanted to tell Gu Yue specifically, and she must take a good look at his reaction.
"This... I'll ask you something first. Are you familiar with the second emperor grandson?"
"I've seen it. After all, he is considered Murong Di's emperor brother, but after all, he is a royal family and is very quiet. He is not often seen on weekdays, so he is not familiar with it."
"What if I tell you that this person was killed by your good sister Murong Di?"
"Impossible!" Sun Yiyue's sudden raised voice shocked Gu Yue, but this determination was fully demonstrated.
"Uh... why do you think it's impossible?"
"Although I am not familiar with the second emperor grandson, Murong Di has a deep connection and a very complicated story with him, and she will never be like this!"
"Is that second emperor grandson who saved her?"
"Why...she mentioned these to you? Then you should understand that it wouldn't be Murong Di!"
"Okay, okay, if you are so sure, we can only think in another way. After all, people are dead, and it is such a coincidence in time."
"Coincidence?" Sun Yiyue became even more confused.
"Didn't you listen to her? She conspired with me to kill your eldest grandson."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Sun Yiyue didn't know what happened. She seemed to be angry too quickly and too frequently today. She didn't understand why, so she could only attribute it to Gu Yue's slandering Murong Di.
"Why did you lie to you? I provided my blood, it's very poisonous. She just needs to poison her. Afterwards, people will only think that the deceased is crazy."
"You...well, even if what you said is true, she will definitely not use your poisonous blood on the second emperor's grandson!"
"Well, I just said that since you are so sure, it is probably the fact that the one who died was the emperor and the eldest grandson. Why do you say that the second grandson died? Because this guy is weak and sick, he will die early and late. No one is surprised. Moreover, the sudden death of the eldest grandson of the emperor and the eldest grandson of a country is more or less a scandal, not to mention that this guy is indeed a scandal in death."
"You mean... the royal family used the name of the second emperor grandson as a substitute? In fact, the one who died was indeed the emperor eldest grandson?"
"Smart, this is your good sister's plan. Although it is not clear whether the result was also thought of by her, I think this death was naturally caused by her."
"The first time you two met, they actually conspired to kill the eldest grandson of the emperor of a country?!"
"Hey! The sound insulation measures I made are not that good! We don't have to stay here if you make a louder sound!"
Only then did he realize his incompetence, Sun Yiyue hurriedly calmed down his emotions.
But this conversation could not continue because Murong Di asked him to see Gu Yue's performance, but Gu Yue was not too abnormal. But he couldn't calm down when he heard this, so he had to go and confirm with Murong Di quickly. Of course, this confirmation method would not be in front of Gu Yue at the moment, because Murong Di repeatedly told him not to reveal the truth, so that he could surprise Gu Yue.
Apart from Sun Yiyue's reaction, although this news cannot be determined for Gu Yue, no matter what, if something happens at this point in time, it is probably because Murong Di really takes action, so he, an accomplice, will have a real blame.
As for why he explained it to Sun Yiyue so bluntly? Gu Yue also had further plans, because the news was heard from Sun Yiyue and was not widely publicized in the outside world. This shows that there is probably some contact between Murong Di and Sun Yiyue. Although Gu Yue himself could not determine whether it was Feige's letter or some secret spy's letter, he had a channel. Since they had such a channel, Gu Yue naturally had to find a way to let Sun Yiyue confirm what happened. This helped him judge Murong Di's thoughts. If the deceased was really the second emperor's grandson, it would be not fun. He was either fooled by Murong Di or Murong Di was tricked by even more exaggerated existence...
Although there may be a possibility that Sun Yiyue concealed it, Gu Yue also had the intention to consider this sense of trust.
Life continued in a busy life. Two days later, the news of the sudden death of the second emperor of Chen State officially spread in Chu State, and there were various versions on the streets and alleys. The reason why he was so concerned about the matter of neighboring countries was not that the people of Chu State were too gossipy, but that this matter involved their new drug-refining star Gu Yue.
"Master Gu poisoned the Chen Kingdom? Farted!"
"Although you are rude, I have the same idea as you, how can it be possible!"
"They must not be able to give Lord Gu an explanation about the interception of the State of Chu, so the evil one complained first!"
"That's it!"
For a time, the people of Chu State were guided by those who were interested, and a rising call for fighting broke out.
Such public opinion naturally reached the ears of Emperor Chu.
"Are they preparing to explore my bottom line by just connecting the death of a royal family with our envoys of Chu?"
"Your Majesty calms down. This news is public, but the matter about Lord Gu is just a rumor. The official of Chen State did not really pursue Lord Gu."
In the Chu Palace, the Emperor Chu and this confidant who only heard the voice of him were still more sensitive to the discussion this time.
"It's groundless. Most of them plan to use the voices of the people to explore the way first, but I think that maybe there's something like Gu Yue in there!"
"You mean that Lord Gu retaliated against those who attacked him before returning to his country? If it was considered from the matter of the Alchemist Association, it was indeed in line with Lord Gu's style, but how could he succeed? Furthermore, is a weak and sick second emperor grandson going back to plan to attack envoys from other countries? Just to use that wheelchair? This is unlikely. After all, he will use it himself in the future. Once it is used, wouldn't it be equivalent to revealing that he is the murderer?"
"So, there is a problem here. Didn't you say that the fingers are all directed at the Emperor Changsun? Then Gu Yue's counterattack would definitely not be against such a second Emperor Changsun. If there is a counterattack and there is indeed a dead person, then the only one who died would be the Emperor Changsun of the State of Chen."
"So that's it. I understand. Perhaps because of the terrifying or embarrassing death, Chen State used a weak and sick second emperor grandson as a guise to leave a trace of face."
"So they pointed their finger at Gu Yue, and it was not aimless."
"Then how should we deal with it?"
"What do you think?"
"I think this matter is separated from two sides. First of all, Lord Gu did promote this matter. Then he must have a helper. After all, even though he is not strong enough, the wheelchair is too conspicuous and not suitable for secret action. This helper is probably Princess Murong Di."
"It just so happens that they have a private meeting. I'm afraid that you are not the only one who does this."
"So Chen Guo also wants to beat rabbits? By the way, look at Princess Murong Di's reaction. I'm afraid that many people in Chen Guo Guo should be so suspicious if they know some of the inside story."
"What if it weren't for Gu Yue?"
"If it weren't for Lord Gu, but he had led the finger, it would probably be a way to divert his attention, or it might be a trick of a third party. After all, Lord Gu has a great prestige in our Great Chu at this time, and the people do not agree to be framed by the Lord whom they support."
"Provoke disagreement and create conflicts or even worsen relations between the two countries?"
“That’s right.”
"Preparing both hands, this matter is definitely just the beginning."
"Affect the order."
