Even if his elder brother, the crown prince, really didn't die, he's now back in the capital planet.
He might not even know as well as Gu Tang about his former subordinates.
"A bunch of idiots!" Gu Tang suddenly cursed under his breath.
I don't know if this "idiot" is cursing those Shadow Assassins who don't even bother with their disguises.
They still cursed He Hui for being deceived by them and actually believing that Wu Xuan was the mastermind behind it all.
Gu Tang turned and stood up, no longer in the mood to admire the flowers.
He turned and walked towards his own bedroom.
After walking a distance, he realized that Qin Junche, who had been following him closely all this time, had not caught up.
Gu Tang turned around and looked at Qin Junche, who was still sitting there.
The other person seemed to be having some trouble, his handsome, long eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Even his gaze turned dark.
Gu Tang suddenly paused.
He stared blankly at Qin Junche for a moment.
Although the young man looked considerably younger than his older brother, at this moment, his expression was remarkably similar...
Gu Tang shook his head abruptly, suppressing the memory that he had already decided to bury completely.
It's all in the past!
He closed his eyes!
They can never go back to the way things were before!
He abruptly turned around, no longer waiting for Qin Junche, and strode towards his own palace.
In less than three days, news spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital Star that Wu Xuan, the eldest son of the Wu family, was the one who assassinated Lieutenant General Qin Junche half a month ago, enraging His Majesty the Emperor.
At first, people were unwilling to believe it.
Wu Xuan is extremely popular in the capital city.
Most people still remember that handsome man with a bright moon and gentle breeze.
I just can't believe he's the kind of person who would do something like this.
However, people soon reminded those who were unwilling to believe that Wu Xuan was the assassin.
Although this eldest son of the Wu family had no romantic relationship with His Majesty the Emperor in recent years.
But if we could turn back time to more than ten years ago, he was the emperor's best, and only, friend.
Anyone with eyes could see that Wu Xuan's feelings for Gu Tang were unmistakable.
To avoid putting His Majesty in a difficult position, he, despite his exceptional talent, willingly chose to exile himself.
I've rarely returned to the capital city in recent years; I've always been traveling.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for him to want to kill Qin Junche.
After all, this woman is the only new favorite who has taken the initiative to offer the position of empress since Gu Tang ascended the throne.
Love has always been the most difficult thing to understand.
Those who initially didn't believe it gradually came to believe it.
The capital city is in turmoil, with all sorts of rumors circulating.
Although the height of summer has long passed, the autumn wind has already brought a refreshing coolness to the capital city.
However, as various rumors intensified, the entire capital city became turbulent.
It's as if there's a volcano buried underneath, ready to unleash a cataclysmic disaster at any moment!

But Gu Tang, who was at the very center of the vortex, remained as steady as a mountain.
He seemed to have forgotten the long conversation he had with Qin Junche in the palace garden that day.
They resumed their leisurely life.
She always wears a smile, seemingly completely unaware of the treacherous undercurrents in the capital city.
The eldest son of the Wu family, his childhood friend, was imprisoned in the royal prison.
Qin Junche originally thought that Gu Tang would go to see him the next day... or even the same day.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Tang seemed to have completely forgotten about this person's existence.
He doesn't mention it, and no one reminds him.
Besides Wu Xuan, He Hui detained a total of 169 people and sentenced them according to the proper methods, without any leniency.
Soon, the Imperial Grand Justices issued their verdicts, executing more than a hundred people and exiling the rest.
Nine years into Gu Tang's reign, this was one of the most significant cases.
The news spread throughout the entire capital planet that their emperor had probably truly fallen for Qin Junche, his new favorite.
They doted on him to an extreme degree, which shocked those who were originally waiting to see Qin Junche make a fool of himself.
Could it be that the Galactic Empire will really welcome a male queen from another galaxy?
These rumors spread like wildfire.
Most of it eventually reached Qin Junche's ears.
Even he was somewhat tempted.
He looked up and saw Gu Tang, who was holding Gu Yan and personally instructing him, not far away.
A warm feeling flashed through my heart.
Gu Tang is really good to his son.
He does everything personally, except now he entrusts Qin Junche with teaching him fighting skills.
He would also inquire about Gu Yan's studies in other areas, such as politics, literature, and even astronomy, geography, and mathematics.
Qin Junche had been teaching Gu Yan for several months.
He could tell that this young prince was clever and quick-witted, learning everything fast; he was truly a dragon among men.
Moreover, he is very kind.
If he ascends the throne in the future, he will surely become a good monarch.
Qin Junche gazed at the heartwarming scene of the father and son interacting, lost in thought.
On this autumn afternoon, there were only three people in the study.
Gu Tang's voice as he instructed Gu Yan was like a soothing and melodious piece of music.
Occasionally, during a break in Gu Yan's thoughts, he would look up at Qin Junche and give him a slight smile.
...
This scene really does resemble a family of three getting along.
A strict father and a kind father, followed by a clever and obedient child.
if……
Qin Junche's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
If they can continue to get along like this for a long time, that would actually be great.
"Qin Junche. Qin Junche!"
Gu Tang reached out and waved his hand in front of Qin Junche several times before the other party suddenly came to his senses.
"Wh...cough...what?" Qin Jun coughed awkwardly twice, looked up, and looked at the tall young man standing in front of him.
Gu Tang didn't ask him what he was thinking about that made him so lost in thought.
He never asked Qin Junche what he was thinking or whether he was dissatisfied with his current life.
"I'm going to the Southwest Galaxy the day after tomorrow," he said. "Would you like to come with me?"
"What are you going there for?" Qin Junche asked subconsciously.
“Someone has rebelled.” Gu Tang snorted. “Using the name of the former crown prince, they have occupied five planets in the Southwest Star System and are now preparing to call on everyone to rise up and jointly attack me.”
Qin Junche: "..."
“We haven’t even found the real culprit yet, what a bunch of idiots!” Gu Tang quickly added.
"You...you're going in person?" Qin Junche found it hard to believe.
The current situation on the capital planet can be described as being on the verge of exploding.
He didn't know if the former princelings had any key evidence, but they had been very active since he arrived in the capital.
They've been so arrogant these past two months that Qin Junche feels they could force him to resign at any moment.
Gu Tang, do you really not care at all?
“Of course,” Gu Tang said.
He paused, then asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
“But now, on the capital planet…” Qin Junche frowned, instinctively trying to stop Gu Tang, “Are you still leaving?”
"no way."
Gu Tang had already sat down beside him, spreading his hands helplessly: "I, the God of War, have a name that resounds throughout the galaxy. Guarding the capital star is enough to deter all villains."
As he said this, the corners of his lips slightly turned up.
Although she had a smile on her face, that smile didn't reach Gu Tang's eyes.
His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he had already made up his mind.
