Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 206 Ingratitude and Deceit (41)

Grand Secretary Feng was already in poor health, and after being angered by Gu Yao, he fainted right in front of the Golden Palace.

Bu Shaoluan was waiting for Shen Xuntang to leave together.

Upon hearing someone report this, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the person beside him.

Gu Yao looked completely innocent. "It's because Grand Secretary Feng is unwell; it has nothing to do with me."

Bu Shaoluan didn't seem to care much. "In that case, we'll grant the Feng family's carriage permission to enter the palace, take the person back to their residence to recuperate, and send an imperial physician to examine them."

Gu Yao smiled upon hearing this.

This proves that the boy is on his side.

This made him very happy.

Gu Yao turned to the side and joked, "Is Your Majesty protecting your subject?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Shaoluan turned his head away and muttered, "If I don't protect you, am I supposed to protect that old man?"

Gu Yao smiled even more broadly upon hearing this.

"Then thank you very much for Your Majesty's protection."

The boy touched his ear somewhat awkwardly. "It's good that you know."

Gu Yao smiled, looking intently at the young man who was now slightly taller than him. "Your Majesty, shall we have lunch together today?"

Upon hearing this, the young man grabbed the sleeve of the crimson court robe of the elder man. "If the Grand Secretary does not dine with me, who does he intend to dine with?"

"Let's go then."

Gu Yao allowed the boy to push his luck and squeeze his fingers between his own.

Whether it was nervousness or the heat of the weather that made their palms damp, the warmth of their bodies passed between them.

The servants following behind the two men lowered their heads and pretended to be blind.

Do not look at or ask too much about your master's affairs.

Shen Shenwei followed behind the two, watching the young man tease the boy.

When the boy gets really teased, he'll just grab the person's hand and pull them closer to him.

For the past few months, the two of them have been like this.

After the morning court session, they would always go home together, just like any ordinary couple.

The years are quiet.

Because he was so angered by Gu Yao that day that he fainted, Grand Secretary Feng took three days of sick leave.

During these three days, Ning Yi openly dealt with these aristocratic beasts who treated people like human beings, while Gu Yao secretly fueled the flames.

The Eastern Depot had long been monitoring these aristocratic families, and Gu Yao secretly stopped those who wanted to send their children away.

Not one was left out!

What you do, what you kill, you will eventually have to pay for.

Several prominent families, all with only one son, secretly hoped that Bu Shaoluan would show leniency.

All those memorials were sent to Gu Yao's desk.

Gu Yao opened a letter, glanced at the pitiful and old-fashioned remarks, and scoffed.

He waved the memorial in his hand at the boy, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is begging you to spare his only son. What do you think?"

The boy who was painting at another table looked up when he heard this and saw the young man with a mocking expression.

That arrogant demeanor truly gave off a sense of being spoiled and arrogant.

Bu Shaoluan put down his brush and sighed softly, "The Grand Secretary doesn't need to test me again and again. They are in the wrong. If the Grand Secretary wants to punish them, then punish them."

Gu Yao's smile grew even brighter.

The most heartwarming thing is when a boy shows undisguised favoritism.

“This is what His Majesty said.” Gu Yao observed the boy’s expression and raised his hand to write an imperial edict.

Bu Shaoluan's face seemed to show only helplessness as he lowered his head and continued painting.

Gu Yao stared at the person with his head down for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything, so he turned his gaze back to the memorials on the table.

At that moment, Shen Shenwei's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Feng requests an audience."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, closed the memorial, and prepared to watch the show.

Here comes the big fish.

He's been waiting for three days.

He still thought that Grand Secretary Feng could really be so heartless as to abandon the only heir of the Feng family.

Looking back now, it seems he must have gone through a lot of inner struggle.

Bu Shaoluan put down the calligraphy brush in his hand.

Gu Yao didn't hide these things from him, so he naturally knew what Grand Secretary Feng had come for.

Bu Shaoluan glanced at the young man who was still lounging in the main seat of the study and raised an eyebrow.

Gu Yao showed no intention of moving, and even lazily yawned before pulling the cushion up further and leaning half of his body against it.

They've taken over someone else's place and are completely at ease with it.

Sensing the boy's gaze, Gu Yao looked up, his face showing some fatigue.

Gu Yao yawned, "casually" rubbed his waist, and gave the boy a reproachful look.

Seeing the dark circles under the young man's eyes and the way he was rubbing his waist, Bu Shaoluan turned his head away.

He also knew that he had gone a bit too far with his antics last night.

But Gu Yao's indulgence was something he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that the young man's back still seemed a bit uncomfortable, she silently took a cushion from the soft couch by the window and stuffed it behind Gu Yao.

After placing the cushions, he walked back to the side table.

The young man wanted to stay there, so he let him.

Gu Yao was somewhat surprised. Looking at the boy's profile, he smiled silently and leaned against the cushion the boy had given him.

Yes, it is indeed quite comfortable to have two cushions together.

Shen Shenwei knocked twice more on the door before Bu Shaoluan remembered that someone was still waiting outside.

"Please invite Grand Secretary Feng in!"

In just three days, the once very energetic Grand Secretary Feng had grown a lot of white hair at his temples.

He dragged his heavy steps into the doorway, and when he looked up, he saw that Gu Yao was sitting in the head seat.

Gu Yao leaned lazily against the cushion and yawned as if he had no bones.

When he saw that Grand Secretary Feng was looking over, he smiled and waved.

That smile was radiant, but it just looked so unsettling.

The handsome young man had faint dark circles under his eyes, tears welling in his eyes, and a soft pillow behind his back; something seemed amiss.

Although I knew that the relationship between the two of them had always been somewhat complicated.

Knowing something is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

But right now he has no interest in dealing with these things anymore.

Thinking of his beautiful concubine and that bastard at home, Grand Secretary Feng felt a pang of heartache.

"Your Majesty, I know that my unfilial son has failed to live up to the Emperor's favor, but I have served three emperors and now, with my old face, I beg Your Majesty to show leniency."

The boy sat upright in the chair, looking at the person kneeling in front of him, but his peripheral vision fell on the young man.

Gu Yao raised his hand, looking somewhat tired, and rubbed the corners of his eyes until they were red.

She felt the boy's gaze fall on her, as if he were asking for her opinion.

He sat up slightly, his voice low and hoarse, "Lord Feng has served the Great Qi for so many years. Even if he has not made any great contributions, he has certainly worked hard. Feng Yan is also the only son of the Feng family. Your Majesty should also consider the feelings of this old minister."

Upon hearing this, Grand Secretary Feng looked up at the handsome young man, seemingly puzzled as to why he would say such a thing.

Did this neutered dog change its sex?

Gu Yao paused deliberately, a wicked smile spreading across his lips.

When Bu Shaoluan saw that smile, he knew that the young man was going to make a move against Grand Secretary Feng.

"However, this is a capital offense after all. If Grand Secretary Feng wants to show leniency, he will have to pay some price, won't he?"

As the handsome young man finished speaking, his lazy gaze suddenly turned sharp, looking at the kneeling person with a hint of oppression.

Meeting the young man's gaze, Grand Secretary Feng knew that the Feng family was doomed.

Once a venomous snake hidden in the shadows is exposed to the sunlight, it has surely bitten its enemy's neck and injected deadly venom.
