The next morning.
Gu Yu intended to take his leave, but Madam Ya clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.
"Gu Lang, stay with her a little longer."
Gu Yu stroked her smooth, satin-like skin and smiled, "Would you like some more breakfast?"
Madam Ya wasn't stupid; she immediately guessed what Gu Yu meant and said coquettishly, "Are you out of your mind?"
"What does it matter if I suffer a little hardship for your sake, Madam?"
"You—" Mrs. Ya sighed softly, "Do you know, I hate you now, but I also love you. You're truly my nemesis."
"What does my wife hate about me?"
"Hmph, don't you know what's going on? Don't think I've forgotten what happened last time."
Seeing her pouting and coquettish expression, Gu Yu couldn't resist kissing her soft lips and saying with a smile:
Only after experiencing hatred can one truly appreciate the preciousness of love.
Madam Ya couldn't help but pinch him, scolding, "You rascal, you're clearly just teasing me on purpose. I know perfectly well that, but I still can't help coming to you."
"Hahaha!"
Gu Yu laughed out triumphantly.
"You still dare to laugh—"
Mrs. Ya was extremely embarrassed and angry, and she was determined to make a scene.
At this moment, she seemed to forget the struggle, her identity, and all that had happened in the past, returning to the girlhood of her early teens when she first fell in love.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Gu Yu finally left the room, striding away amidst the complex gazes of the maids.
Mrs. Ya reclined languidly, muttering, "What a troublemaker."
Her tone seemed somewhat complaining, but more than that, it was filled with a sense of endless reminiscence.
The next morning, Gu Yu arrived at the palace and officially took office.
The position of the guard commander was relatively high. He was one of the ten deputies under the commander of the imperial guards and was responsible for the safety of the King of Zhao.
Moreover, this job is very leisurely. Unless there are special circumstances, one only needs to go to the palace to serve for five days a month and protect King Zhao.
The first day on duty wasn't too complicated; it was mainly about getting to know my colleagues, familiarizing myself with the palace environment, and understanding my duties as a guard.
In the afternoon, just as Gu Yu was about to leave the palace, he saw a beautiful woman in a palace dress, with a charming smile, walking towards him.
"Your humble servant greets Lady Ya!"
Being in the palace, Gu Yu naturally had to perform a proper bow, after all, Lady Ya was the king's sister.
Madam Ya stepped forward, circled around Gu Yu, and said with a smile, "This outfit is nice; it makes you look even more imposing."
Gu Yu leaned closer and whispered, "Could it be that you were even more impressive than I was last night?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Ya's heart fluttered, her eyes filled with tears, and she leaned into Gu Yu's arms in front of everyone, saying urgently, "I came all the way to the palace to see you, will you come to my place tonight?"
It seems this woman has developed a taste for it.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Gu Yu decided to completely conquer this woman, so he nodded: "Alright, but you need to send someone to the Wu residence to inform them."
Madam Ya looked delighted and took Gu Yu's hand, saying, "Let's go."
After walking a short distance, the two boarded a carriage and headed towards the palace.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped as soon as they stepped out of the palace gate.
Lady Ya, her face contorted with anger, leaned out and shouted, "Who dares to be so bold as to block my carriage?"
"It is I, the Marquis!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu stepped down from the carriage.
Lady Ya's expression changed, and she frowned: "What brings you here, Lord Marquis?"
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "I heard that the lady has come to the palace, so I specially waited for her here. Let's go to my residence together and catch up."
"this----"
Mrs. Ya was at a loss for what to do.
After all, Zhao Mu wielded immense power, addressing her as "this Marquis" at every turn, making it impossible for her to do anything about him.
At this moment, Gu Yu stepped out of the carriage.
Zhao Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he already knew he was in the carriage.
Jumping off the carriage, Gu Yu stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "So Guard Gu is here too. How about we come over to my place for a few drinks?"
Gu Yu said, "I dare not refuse Your Excellency's kind invitation, but Madam Ya and I have other important matters to attend to. How about I invite Your Excellency to have a few drinks with us another day?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu's face darkened: "Gu Bingwei, you've probably made a mistake. I invited Lady Ya. If you have something to attend to, then go and do your business—"
At this point, he looked at Madam Ya and pointed to his carriage: "Madam Ya, please."
Lady Ya glanced helplessly at Gu Yu and silently stepped down from the carriage.
Just as she was about to walk towards Zhao Mu's carriage, Gu Yu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, coldly saying, "My lord, please do not forget that Lady Ya is the king's sister, and you and I are both your subjects. If you disrespect Lady Ya, you are disrespecting the king."
Zhao Mu never expected that Gu Yu would dare to contradict him to his face, and his murderous intent erupted instantly.
"Gu Bingwei, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Gu Yu said coldly, "My lord, I am merely stating the facts."
Zhao Mu laughed in fury: "What if I insist on taking Lady Ya away today?"
Lady Ya was afraid that Gu Yu would lose control of his emotions, so she quickly tugged at him and whispered, "Gu Lang, forget it, don't fight him head-on, you can't beat him."
It would have been better if she hadn't said that; once she did, Gu Yu's tone became even more forceful.
"My lord, everything must be done according to the rules. If you do not follow the rules, then don't blame me for not following them either. If you don't believe me, you are welcome to try."
"How dare you!"
One of the guards standing next to Zhao Mu shouted angrily and actually drew his sword to stab at him.
"Be careful!"
Mrs. Ya screamed in fright.
Gu Yu remained motionless until the tip of the sword was almost touching his clothes, then he raised his hand and grabbed the blade.
"Gu Lang, you—"
In her haste, Madam Ya couldn't help but call out to Gu Lang, looking at his hand with a shocked expression.
The guard's face turned red as he gripped the sword hilt tightly, straining with all his might, but the sword remained motionless.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
Gu Yu actually broke off the sword tip, raised his hand and threw it. The sword tip flew out like a flying knife, grazed Zhao Mu's face, and stuck to the carriage behind him.
"Protect the Marquis!"
The guards finally came to their senses and quickly surrounded Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu's face was deathly pale, as if he had just returned from the brink of death.
He had witnessed Gu Yu's strength firsthand; even a master like Jin was killed by his sword after only a few moves.
But to his utter surprise, Gu Yu was able to catch the sword with his bare hands, and even break it with his bare hands.
If he hadn't deliberately missed, he would already be dead.
Just how strong is this guy?
"Bang!"
Gu Yu struck out with his palm, and the guard's face instantly turned to pieces, collapsing headfirst into a pool of blood.
Before this, Gu Yu had been hiding his strength, only concerned with defeating his opponent.
However, he could not tolerate Zhao Mu taking Madam Ya away in front of him. If he did not show some strength and methods, how could he keep Zhao Mu in check?
