Since the founding of Daqi, they have been in constant wars with Northern Yan and this feud exist until now, so seeing how the Northern Yan suffer such a big loss, the emperor feels happy from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Zezhi stood with his arms folded behind his back as he lightly glanced at Gu Jing and the corners of his lips hooked up a shallow arc, smiling, “This time it is still thanks to the second prince’s help in dragging Prince Yelu’s attention.”
Gu Jing: “…”
Gu Jing’s pupils shrank as he inwardly roared: No, he didn’t!
His face was stiff and his whole being was trying to understand the situation.
In this short period of less than half an hour, his heart has gone up and down several times. He was still shocked after hearing all of these things, and didn’t expect that Gu Zezhi would suddenly come out and drag him down!
He really didn’t secretly conspire with Gu Zezhi ah!
Gu Jing’s mouth was slightly open, and his whole face looked like it was shrouded with a layer of dark clouds, looking more and more ugly.
Yelu Luan: “!!!”
Yelu Luan glared at Gu Jing like arrows, and hatred was evident in his eyes.

“You…” Yelu Luan couldn’t hide his trembling voice.
So that’s how it was!!!
Gu Jing dared to fool him these days, and he believed it. He was fooled around by a fool like Gu Jing.
No wonder since Gu Jing got involved in the peace talks, Gu Zezhi stopped showing up and just let Gu Jing spend time with him and made him mistakenly think that Gu Zhen was trying to take Gu Jing’s credit but in fact they colluding with each other and disguising themselves in red and white faces*.
(red faces- good guys, white guys- treacherous or bad guys)
Gu Jing ah, Gu Jing.
The more Yelu Luan thinks about it, the more aggrieved he felt as if his chest had been crushed by something and his blood was churning.
He felt a fishy sweetness in his throat and spits out a mouthful of blood from his throat that dripped down from the corner of his mouth.
“Tick, tick…”

Drops of fresh blood fell on the brick floor below looking ghastly sight to see.
Gu Jing: “!”
Gu Jing also came back to his senses at this moment.
He was not a fool, about this time he also had figured out what was really happening and subconsciously wanted to tell Yelu Luan that he was not part of this, but seeing that the emperor was here, if Yelu Luan told him about the cooperation that he had agreed with him then what should he do? How should he explain himself to his imperial father?
Gu Jing’s eyes were obviously secretly changing endlessly, but could only swallow those words back and stood still on the spot.
However, unbeknownst to him, all the small details of changes in him were seen by the emperor.
The emperor looked at Gu Jing, and then at Gu Zezhi, feeling complicated. Duan Wangye had a good son, if his son had 80% or even 70% of Gu Zezhi’s, why would he worry about the country!!
The emperor couldn’t help looking at Gu Zhen, who was sitting by the window.
Gu Zhen was sitting upright on an armchair with his small feet that doesn’t touch the ground yet and were just suspended mid-air, however his upright sitting position made him look like an honest man, he was also motionless like a small adult.
His small face was slightly sideways as he was listening carefully with his small mouth slightly pursed as if he was internalizing what he heard.

The emperor often asked Gu Zhen to follow Gu Zezhi, and at this time while Gu Zezhi was dealing with Northern Yan the latter specifically took Gu Zhen with him to teach and advise the small prince.
Fortunately, Gu Zhen was still young and was still teachable, so in the future, he should let Gu Zezhi teach Gu Zhen so his son could learn a thing or two from his nephew, and surely this would benefit Daqi a lot in the future.
While the emperor was lost in his thoughts, Gu Zezhi at this time still had that gentle and refined appearance, neither startled nor impetuous, neither proud nor arrogant, as if he hadn’t seen Yelu Luan vomit blood at all. Smiling he said, “Prince Yelu, do you want to continue the peace talks?”
His voice was clear and gentle, and his eyes were bright as if they contained the brilliance of the bright moon, he was also refined and courteous.
Yelu Luan wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and his face was pale as paper.
“Peace talks?” His eyes were sharp and sinister, and with clenched teeth, he said through gritted teeth, “Return the three cities first!”
As he spoke, Yelu Luan’s chest violently heaved up and down again.
In sharp contrast, Gu Zezhi was calm and indifferent. He faintly said, “It seems that your country does not want to talk anymore.”
Without waiting for Yelu Luan to answer, Gu Zezhi clasped his fist to the emperor and suggested, “Your Majesty, why don’t you let Fuyun take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack, maybe he can also take down the royal city of Yan all the way.”

The emperor raised his hand and tapped it on the desk, and said loudly, “Alright!”
These words caused the atmosphere in the imperial study to change again.
Gu Jing’s eyes slightly widened, and his fists were tightly clenched too much that the veins at the back of his hands were visible.
While the two Northern Yan envoys who were behind Yelu Luan got anxious, one of the middle-aged envoys strode past Yelu Luan and said eagerly to the emperor, “Your Majesty, Emperor of Daqi, don’t be angry. The terms of peace talks that Daqi proposed last time, this humble servant agreed to them all on behalf of my king.”
“Oh?” The emperor slightly raised his right eyebrow and tap twice with his right fist on the desk, “Show me the draft and the book.”
Gu Jing only then reacted to the fact that he initially came today for the matter of peace talks, but the emperor did not ask him anything at all regarding the status of the peace talks and just left him alone until now.
Hearing this, he hurriedly presented the book he had drawn up before to the emperor.
The emperor glanced over the terms of the agreement at a glance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. Since ancient times, emperors had this imposing power and prestige.
“Is this what you planned?” The emperor looked at Gu Jing sharply.
Since the founding of Daqi, they have been in constant wars with Northern Yan and this feud exist until now, so seeing how the Northern Yan suffer such a big loss, the emperor feels happy from the bottom of his heart.
