, her medicine disciple was kept behind to identify the servant.
With the interrogation going on this side, Gu Yun was too lazy to see them bite each other for longer, staying by Chang Geng’s side the whole time. Just now, his hand was stained full of blood. Even the bead bracelet given by the emperor dyed in red, his face was even worse than that of the injured one.
“It’s alright. This time it was me who made myself bleed,” Chang Geng looked at him and said, “I know my limits…”
“Limit my ass!” Gu Yun shouted at him in a low voice. “You really have to come and see what a barbarian looks like, don’t you? I really…”
Chen Qing Xu made salt water for Chang Geng without anyone’s help and said, “Marshal Gu can rest assured, Wu Er Gu’s body is different from ordinary people. This little injury would not be able to affect him. What on earth did Your Highness encounter that you must bleed like this?”
Chang Geng slightly closed his eyes for a moment. His gaze seemed clearer than usual. If the blood in Gu Yun’s hand hadn’t been wiped off, he would have thought that he was only pretending.
“I was tricked into entering the palace.” In order to prevent eavesdropping, Chang Geng used sign language, “Even though the Eighteen Tribes may not be well-intentioned, I think that whether they really want to talk peace or falsely suspend their troops, the present time when our army is on standby and fully ready is not a good opportunity for them to play tricks. I did not expect that the Barbarian envoys dare to make a move on me boldly and publicly… moreover, with Fang Qin’s cautious personality, he generally would not want to easily bear a crime of colluding with the enemy.”
Gu Yun angrily said: “Generally?”
Chen Qing Xu quickly avoided Gu Yun’s anger and asked, “Your Highness, can you elaborate?”
Chang Geng cautiously looked at Gu Yun and described the abnormalities of the Third Prince and the special scent he was able to catch. Chen Qing Xu stopped the bleeding for him quickly while paying attention to his gestures, her eyebrows wrinkled slowly.
“It’s not necessarily Fang Qin who brought me here,” Chang Geng said. “He’s not going to be as foolish as to let himself be exploited by the Barbarians. It’s very likely that the purpose of his eagerness just now was to prove he had nothing to do with this… but the motives of the envoy of the Eighteen Tribes deserve further study.”
Gu Yun felt uncomfortable whenever he looked at him. He simply turned his head towards the window — out of sight, out of mind — one hand inadvertently wandered on the scabbard hanging at his waist, the fierce expression on his face had yet to fade.
He had already thought of this even without Chang Geng saying more. The one who had bribed the servants was most likely Wang Guo who jumped up and down just now. He always regarded Wang Guo as the dog of the former emperor and did not bother himself with a dog. Now, it seemed that some people really thought he had a good temper!

Chang Geng reached out a cold hand and held the back of his hand, saying pitifully, “Zi Xi, I feel terrible. Look at me.”
…This time, Chen Qing Xu was the one who did not look to give herself peace of mind.
Gu Yun’s heart tightened from aching, unable to vent it, he wished he could immediately don his armor and set out to behead Jia Lai Ying Huo. After a long silence, he reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, “Maybe they wanted to assassinate the Emperor at first. When they arrived in the capital, they found that the capital was more strict than they had imagined, so they wanted to make their move on you. Otherwise, they came especially for the purpose of the Bone of Impurity. Barbarians must have the means to control the Bone of Impurity. When the Bone of Impurity is unleashed, the manpower is infinite and can exceed one’s limit. The palace guards would hesitate to attack you. If they use you as a shield, the guards may not be able to stop it. There is only one reason I can think of for them to waste so much effort, that is, the envoy is provoking a war.”
“If Jia Lai wanted to fight, he can simply mobilize his army. It was not necessary to trouble themselves for provocation,” Chang Geng said. “General Cai’s news may not be entirely baseless. There must be something wrong with the internal affairs of the Eighteen Tribes after all.”
“What happened to the Eighteen Tribes is not of concern at the moment,” Gu Yun interrupted him. “You also heard the words said by Wang Guo. He is on his last resort, there’s no telling what he would do next. You might as well think about how to deal with it first.”
