Ye Chen poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Yi:
"Sect Master Gu, you feel uncomfortable living in the imperial city, and you actually want to go back. I would like to keep you here for a while, but a lot of things have happened recently, and I really don't know what to do. .”
Gu Yi didn't expect that Ye Chen had been thinking about testing himself until this moment, and the forced smile on his lips was finally no longer hidden.
"I am also very surprised about what happened during this period. After all, I haven't settled it with you yet. What do you want to do when you come to me this time?"
To be honest, Gu Yi didn't understand why the emperor asked him to enter the palace at this time.
If the other party just wanted to tell him that he had punished the queen, he could go to him personally, but the emperor did not do that.
It really made him a little curious and worried.
"Actually, I want to ask you whether you deliberately showed me what happened yesterday. After all, what happened was too unexpected and too deliberate."
Ye Chen said.
He just wants to know the truth now, just like Gu Yi.
There must be a lot of things in the other person's mind that he hasn't told him. Since he knows one of them, there's nothing wrong with it.
"So the emperor was worried that what happened that night was all an act? Although I don't know what happened that night, I still understand a little bit, because you saw that scene, right? Ye Li was assassinated. , In fact, it has happened once before, and you only saw that scene accidentally."
Gu Yi gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
The answer was so flawless that Ye Chen didn't know how to ask next.
"Sect Master Gu, are you really unaware of the Queen's affairs? And the matter of me going to Qingxuan Sect, I..."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Gu Yi interrupted directly:
"I know what you are worried about. Are you afraid that I will tell the truth about the queen? You should still give me this kind of trust. After all, I am not the kind of person who will use any means to achieve my goals."
"I was rude, but you have to know that this matter is about the royal family's face after all, so I naturally have to pay more attention. If there is anything I said inappropriately, please forgive me, Sect Leader Gu."
Ye Chen said in an apologetic tone.
But Gu Yi didn't come to the palace just for this apology. The purpose of his coming today was to ask the emperor to release him.
But listening to the tone of what he just said, it seemed that he didn't intend to do that, which made him feel a little troublesome.
"Emperor, I won't beat around the bush with you. The reason why I came today is actually to let you let me go, including my disciples. Even Yeli will leave with me. After all, he is not suitable for the palace, so you should let him go instead of using him."
Ye Chen, who originally wanted to continue getting close to Gu Yi, changed his expression after hearing Gu Yi's words.
He really didn't expect that Gu Yi would state his purpose so straightforwardly, which surprised him.
And regarding Ye Li's matter, he hadn't thought of how to deal with it yet, but looking at Gu Yi's current state, he knew that Ye Li had to leave.
But if Yeli leaves, there will be some trouble for the emperor and princess of the neighboring country.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, the emperor and princess of the neighboring country have already solved the problem. I believe they will come to you soon. After their matter is solved, I hope you can let us go. Although we You can leave by yourself, but I still need to tell you about this matter, otherwise, I'm afraid you will think too much."
Even if Gu Yi didn't say these words, Ye Chen would still think more about it. After all, the person in front of him was smarter than he thought. He was somewhat worried that Gu Yi would pose a certain threat to him.
Seeing that Ye Chen was looking at him more and more strangely, Gu Yi said:
"Don't worry, I won't threaten your position as long as you are your emperor. Besides, Yeli has no interest in your position at all, so you should rest assured. We won't do anything. We feel very Troublesome stuff.”
Ye Chen felt relieved after hearing Gu Yi's words.
As long as they don't threaten their status, they can do whatever they want.
"Okay, since you have said so, Sect Master Gu, then I will agree to your request, but you will have to stay here for a while. It doesn't take more than five days to deal with the emperor and princess of the neighboring country. After that, you can leave."
After Gu Yi saw Ye Chen agreeing, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground: "Yes, I promise you."
After talking to Ye Chen, Gu Yi left the palace and returned to his residence.
Li Qingmu and others were still waiting for Gu Yi's return in the courtyard. After seeing Gu Yi come back, everyone came to Gu Yi and surrounded him:
"Sect Master, when you went to the palace, the emperor didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Is he willing to let us go now?"
"There is also the matter about the Queen, has he dealt with it?"
Everyone was talking about this so quickly that Gu Yi didn't know who to answer first.
He waved his hands hastily:
"You guys, please be patient. Look at how mature and steady you are now. This makes me a little surprised. I'm obviously the one going to negotiate, but it's you who are worried."
"That's for sure. Who told us not to go with you? Besides, the emperor always likes to plot against others. We will definitely be worried. What if you are plotted against?"
What Fengque was worried about was not Gu Yi's safety, but fear that Gu Yi would be plotted by the emperor.
After all, the other party is the emperor. After experiencing so much intrigue in the palace, how could he know how to scheme against others.
"That is to say, this is not the first time that you, Sect Master, have been plotted, so you should be more cautious in this matter."
"What did the emperor say? Can we go back?"
All Ye Li can think about now is going back, but he doesn't know if Ye Chen will agree. This is the only thing he is worried about.
"Don't worry, the emperor has promised to let us go back, but we still need to wait a few more days until he has dealt with the neighboring emperor and princess before we can leave."
Gu Yi relayed what the emperor told him.
When everyone heard these words, their faces that were still smiling suddenly dropped:
"The emperor is really scheming, and he wants us to deal with the consequences for him. Sect Master, I'm afraid this is another plot, but you still foolishly think that the other party is really doing good for us, which is a bit ridiculous."
"Master, when will you have a long memory? I'll tell you why the emperor summoned you into the palace. It turns out it's because of this matter. He is very kind. You are about to leave, and he wants to use you one last time. "
"What do you mean by these words?"
Gu Yi looked at Li Qingmu and others with confusion. He really couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Seeing Gu Yi's confused look, Li Qingmu knew that the other person didn't realize that he was being plotted, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Sect Master, a person who is so easy to deceive like you is really rare to see in a hundred years. No wonder the emperor likes to ask you to talk about things. It turns out that it is because you are too good at tricks. If it were us, he would not be like this. Set against us."
"What on earth are you talking about?"
Gu Yi still didn't understand what Li Qingmu meant.
"What we mean is that you are too naive and easy to deceive."
Qin Yu answered.
He also didn't expect that Gu Yi would be so easy to deceive. It was obvious that the emperor didn't want to let him go. He really believed that the other party would wait a few days before letting them leave.
He really couldn't understand how Gu Yi, who was so simple and easy to deceive, took them together for such a long time.
"I don't like hearing what you are saying. I am your sect master. How can anyone talk about their sect master like this? In the whole world, I am afraid you are the only ones who dare to do this."
Seeing them like this, Gu Yi smiled helplessly.
In the final analysis, he usually indulges them too much. Otherwise, they would never dare to treat him like this.
"Sect Master, it's too late for you to say this at this time. We are just stating the facts. Who makes you look so innocent and easy to deceive? I don't know what bad things the emperor is holding in his heart."
What Li Qingmu is most worried about now is that the emperor will do something to tarnish their reputation in their name.
"It's too late to talk about these things now. We can't change anything. The only thing we can do now is to take care of the current affairs. Soldiers will come to cover up the water and the soil will cover it. No matter what happens to him in the future."
Qin Yu's main focus now is to be casual. As long as it doesn't threaten their safety, he can do anything else casually.
"For some things, you should think of the good and don't always think of the bad. And it's just a few days later to leave. Since you came to the Imperial City, you haven't gone out for a walk, right? The last time Qingmu and Yeli were with me When I came here, I didn’t take a good stroll around, so I just took this opportunity to go outside and have a look."
Gu Yi really didn't want to listen to them preaching to him here.
After all, he was now their sect leader, but he couldn't stand being lectured by these little guys.
"Sect Master, you are not tired of us saying these things, so you want to drive us out. Let me first say that I don't want to go out. It is safest to stay here."
Qin Yu didn't want to go out. If he encountered any trouble, he would have to deal with it.
"That is to say, if we go out, we don't know if the emperor will send someone to follow us. For our safety, we'd better stay here."
Li Qingmu rarely felt that Qin Yu had said something right. For their safety, it would be better to go out less often.
