Chapter 134: The Coup in the Capital

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Under Gu Ruoyun’s increasingly icy gaze, An Er trembled as he finished speaking.

Gu Ruoyun asked again, “What does that pill look like?”

That pill was so ugly that it left a deep impression on people. An Er did not even need to think to say it out loud.

Gu Ruoyun waved him off and looked at Su Yan, “Master Xuanfeng.”

Su Yan raised her head and looked at him with admiration.

She did not expect him to figure it out so quickly.

Gu Ruoyun burst into laughter and rubbed her head. The only person who had caused the pill to look like that was Master Xuanfeng. There was no one else.

Seeing her obediently nestling in his arms, she suddenly said, “You’re doing quite well.”

Su Yan was unhappy and slapped her paw over. She did not want to be a rabbit for the rest of her life.

When the news of Gu Ruoyun’s return to the imperial capital spread, many people panicked.

They had made a lot of preparations as they thought that Gu Ruoyun had died on the battlefield.

At this moment, the Emperor was the most panicked. He looked at the people outside the bedroom and said with a stiff expression, “How dare you! I’m the Emperor and you dare to stop me?”

It was the crown prince who had attacked. He was the eldest son but his younger brother had snatched the position of the crown prince. He had long been displeased with the Emperor.

He was not the only one. All the other princes were ready to make a move.

The reason why the Emperor had been able to sit firmly on the throne was because of Gu Ruoyun. He was part of the royal faction.

Therefore, once the news of his death was spread, these people could no longer hold themselves back. If they did not take action at that moment, the crown prince would soon succeed the throne. By then, it would be too late.

When they suddenly heard that Gu Ruoyun had faked his death, they had no choice but to take action.

They were all prepared to seize the throne before he returned.

When the time came, they would become the Emperor and Gu Ruoyun would still be part of the royal faction. The world would then be secure.

In any case, he did not care who would sit on the throne.

The first prince, who had thought things through first, immediately imprisoned the Emperor in his bedchamber and was prepared to force him to abdicate.

The entire nation was in the midst of a bloody storm over the seizure of the throne.

This was a joint operation between the Su family and the Guang Residence. Naturally, they were acting on their own. The princes still had to rely on Gu Ruoyun, so naturally, they did not dare to cause trouble for them.

Elder Zheng followed the example of the Su family and fell silent.

However, he did not have the support of powerful in-laws like the Guang Residence. There were people constantly coming to find trouble and forcing him to stand on his side.

Gu Ruoyun, who knew these things like the back of his hand, was not in a hurry to return. He asked someone to make a detour to the Shen An Temple.

Gu Ruoyun had never believed in the teachings of the Gods and Buddhas. This was the first time he had come to the Shen An Temple.

He carried the rabbit out of the carriage and looked at the Shen An Temple halfway up the mountain. He waved the people who wanted to follow him away and he went up the mountain with the rabbit.

Gu Ruoyun did not use his lightness skill. Instead, he relied on his legs and walked up the mountain step by step.

There was a small monk at the door. When he saw Gu Ruoyun’s figure, he went up to greet him.

“My master has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Su Yan looked at his familiar face and it took her a long time to recognize him. This was the monk who had followed Master Xuanfeng back then.

They came all the way to the wooden house where Master Xuanfeng lived.

Back then, she had wanted to meet Master Xuanfeng. She had been chopping wood and climbing the mountain. She had not expected Gu Ruoyun to meet him so easily.

Su Yan opened her mouth and bit his finger unhappily. Her teeth rubbed against his finger. She wanted to bite but was unwilling to do so. She was unwilling to let go and could only keep it in her mouth.

She felt the finger in her mouth move and Su Yan quickly spat it out.

Looking at Gu Ruoyun’s cold expression, it was hard to imagine that he was the one who had done such a thing.

The little monk did not bring him to meet Master Xuanfeng. Instead, he went to another room and said, “Sir, the murderous aura on your body is too strong. Please take a bath and burn some incense before meeting my master.”

Su Yan, who had just been displeased with Gu Ruoyun’s relaxed attitude towards Master Xuanfeng, was even more displeased at this moment.

What did he mean by that! Was he disregarding Gu Ruoyun?

Gu Ruoyun hugged Su Yan, who was grinding her teeth in his arms and nodded emotionlessly.
