Lu Zhaoyan smiled, "Father, Zhaozhao is looking for you!"
Emperor Liang left.
Miao King: "Return my little pseudo-grandchild—"
ng Qianqian covered his mouth and shook her head solemnly at him.
Miao King removed her hand, "I want to find Treasure Piggy."
ng Qianqian lowered her head in grievance, "Does Grandpa not like anymore?"
Miao King instantly panicked, "Ah ah ah, no no no! Don’t cry..."
Ah!
Help!
He made his precious granddaughter-in-law cry!
He really is damnable!
"There you are indeed."
Lu Yuan walked over.
He had just run into his cheap old dad and Emperor Liang. Seeing Emperor Liang’s gloomy face, it was obvious he had been angered by the old man, no need to ask.
"Crying?"
Lu Yuan cupped ng Qianqian’s face, and his slender, jade-like fingertips wiped away the tears on her face.
ng Qianqian shushed, her eyes turned to the right, and she whispered, "To appease Grandpa."
Miao King scratched his head and paced back and forth.
What should he do?
Lu Yuan watched the scene with amusent, "Tan’er, go get a plate of sunflower seeds."
"Got it!"
Tan’er bounced away.
ng Qianqian nudged his shoulder.
Lu Yuan said nonchalantly, "He’s gone far."
ng Qianqian wanted to tell Miao King the truth but was pulled back by Lu Yuan.
It was rare to see the old man like this; he wanted to watch more.
"Sigh."
Miao King drooped his head and ca back to ng Qianqian, "Grandpa thought about it, and indeed, I feel like I’ve wronged you, don’t be mad at Grandpa. At worst, Grandpa will give you another Golden Silkworm Gu."
Lu Yuan nearly fell off the stone bench in shock, "You still have a Golden Silkworm Gu?"
Miao King: "Haven’t perfected it yet, but soon."
Lu Yuan pointed at himself.
Miao King: "What?"
Lu Yuan: ", your real grandson."
Miao King huffed, hands on hips, "Now you rember you’re my real grandson? Just now watching my embarrassnt was rather amusing, wasn’t it? Your Golden Silkworm Gu, gone!"
Only Lu Yuan’s wounded world was achieved...
ng Qianqian stifled a laugh, trying hard to suppress the corners of her lips from rising.
Lu Yuan said coolly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."
Miao King smacked the back of his head, "Finally managed to calm her!"
Lu Yuan: "..."
"Grandpa, please sit."
ng Qianqian helped Miao King sit on the stone bench.
Miao King gave the little brat a glare, his expression suddenly turned serious.
Lu Yuan asked curiously, "Sothing up?"
Miao King furrowed his brows and nodded, "Mm."
ng Qianqian and Lu Yuan exchanged a look.
Given their understanding of Grandpa, a typical big issue wouldn’t even be an issue, so his expression hinted at a very tricky matter.
Miao King noted their expressions, "Don’t overthink it, it’s not that big of a deal, I just find it strange."
ng Qianqian said, "Please tell us, Grandpa."
Miao King: "I ask you, is Gongsun Yanming truly deeply valued by Emperor Liang?"
ng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan.
He spent more ti by Emperor Liang’s side and understood his thoughts better.
Lu Yuan said, "It’s true."
Miao King continued, "Is Emperor Liang suspicious by nature?"
Lu Yuan pondered for a mont and replied, "Not much, he’s the type who trusts those he uses and doesn’t use those he suspects."
Miao King: "Blind!"
Lu Yuan replied fairly and justly, "Not really, the emperor is wise like a mirror; once he realizes he’s chosen the wrong person, he’ll swiftly remove them, even if it ans writing a self-criticism edict to have them dismissed and investigated."
Miao King frowned, "And Gongsun Yanming? Has Emperor Liang never found evidence of his deceit? The Phoenix Girl was wrong, the Qilin was wrong, even without evidence, shouldn’t he at least be suspicious of Gongsun Yanming’s intentions? Was he?"
Lu Yuan paused, "Even if there were suspicions he miscalculated the augury, there were no suspicions of any ulterior motives."
Miao King stroked his chin, "Then, probably no mistake."
Lu Yuan: "Old man, did you discover sothing?"
Miao King: "Call Grandpa."
Lu Yuan: "Grandpa."
Miao King: ... You suddenly behaving so well, I find it hard to respond.
Miao King cleared his throat, returning to the main topic, "He has a Gu placed on him."
"What?"
ng Qianqian was surprised.
Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered with doubt, "A Gu placed?"
Miao King sighed, "Yes, if I hadn’t gone through so many moves with him, I might not have realized."
ng Qianqian murmured, "Could it be...Gongsun Yanming is using a Gu to control His Majesty?"
Gongsun Yanming colluding with Miaojiang to place a Gu on His Majesty seed entirely possible.
"What kind of Gu?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Miao King said, "You ca too early, I haven’t extracted the Gu yet. However, the Gu on him is a bit peculiar. I have a guess but am not entirely sure. This ti, I must go et Gongsun Yanming."
"Once I see him, I’ll know if my guess is correct."
ng Qianqian said, "I’ll bring him out."
Lu Yuan: "I’ll go."
Miao King said, "Neither of you go, I have my own brilliant plan!"
Miao King continued, "Is Emperor Liang suspicious by nature?"
Lu Yuan pondered for a mont and replied, "Not much, he’s the type who trusts those he uses and doesn’t use those he suspects."
Miao King: "Blind!"
