After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1181 The Illness Can No Longer Be Hidden
Aunt Su was overjoyed, but deliberately asked, "What does Your Excellency mean? My knowledge is limited, please enlighten me."

Qi the Angel laughed: "Second Madam, do you really not understand what I mean? If you don't understand, if your knowledge is limited, then go home and study."

"Eunuch Qi, what do you mean? Apologize to my mother immediately!" Gu Xuan was drunk and often lost control of his emotions, spouting nonsense.

With a slight tap, Qi Tianshi slammed his teacup onto the table. His phoenix eyes, sharp as blades, swept over Gu Xuan, but he turned to Qu Tongzhi and said, "Please trouble Qu Tongzhi to tell Lord Gu that I have given him all the sincerity I can. If Lord Gu is still not satisfied, then let's call it a day!"

Gu Xuan hadn't reacted yet, but Aunt Su understood and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please calm down. I understand. I will not do anything unnecessary in the future. Please trust my Commander Qi."

Gu Xuan only then realized what was happening and blurted out a threat: "Eunuch Qi, don't forget, you also have younger brothers and sisters-in-law, you're not all alone!"

Hahaha!
Qi Tianshi was secretly laughing his head off, but his expression turned serious as he said, "Lord Gu is indeed worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief, what a skill."

Gu Xuan smugly replied, "Hmph, it's good that you know how powerful my father is, it's good that my father found your half-siblings as hostages!"

However, Qi Tianshi didn't care about the threat at all.

First, since he dared to approach the younger siblings, he had already arranged for people to protect them.

Secondly, he didn't care much about his younger siblings. He would support them simply because he wanted his mother's bloodline to live a normal life like the Qin family.

Third, all the weaknesses shown to the enemy are merely bait thrown at them.

"Second Madam, it's getting late," Qu Tongzhi hurriedly reminded her from the side, gesturing for Aunt Su to take her leave.

Aunt Su was also somewhat intimidated by the angel, and said, "Your Excellency, I still have to visit Madam Sun, so I won't bother you any longer. Rest assured, Your Excellency, my master will treat your younger siblings well."

Heh, Qi Tianshi didn't say anything, just sat there with a cold face.

Aunt Su and her son felt extremely pleased that they had threatened Qi Tianshi. They stood up, heads held high, and left.

"Take care, Magistrate Qu," Qi Tianshi said as a final word.

And this is already a clear indication... Qu Tongzhi, you are a commander of the imperial court, not a servant of the Gu family. You don't need to humiliate yourself like this.

You should recognize your own place.

If you still can't see it, then die.

Upon hearing this, Qu Tongzhi paused, performed a traditional Wei military salute for Qi Shitian, and then followed Aunt Su and her son, escorting them away.

The mother and son were still basking in the joy of outshining the angel, and they began discussing how to outshine Madam Sun.

Qu Tongzhi: "..."

Having such a burden is the inevitable fate that Gu Chengyong deserves.

To be fair, Gu Chengyong was not an incompetent person.

When Qu Tongzhi first joined the army, Gu Chengyong had already made a name for himself in the Northwest. He started as a scout in the Northwest, then joined the vanguard battalion, and rose through the ranks to become a junior officer, a general, a centurion, and a chiliarch.

However, Gu Chengyong's abilities were limited; at most, he could only become the commander of a prefecture.

However, after the incident involving the Prince of Ye and Emperor Wuxing (who was then the Prince of Wuxing), the Wei army underwent two major purges. Many military officers who were more capable than Gu Chengyong were either killed, dismissed from their posts, or, like General Guo, suspected and unable to be given important positions.

Emperor Ningkang and Grand Secretary Jin both feared that military generals would enter the capital to "purge the court of corrupt officials," so they deliberately did not promote truly capable generals, but only promoted mediocre talents like Gu Chengyong.

Stupid and malicious, and loves to cause trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that the Northwest Prefecture was fighting against the Western Rong, the two of them could have wiped out the entire military strength of the Northwest Army.

The reason why the mediocre Gu Chengyong could continue to serve as the commander-in-chief was that he had transferred a small portion of the troops from the northeastern prefecture to help Emperor Wuxing attack the capital, which was considered a merit.

Secondly, General Liang is not yet very familiar with the Northeast region and has weak control over it, so a transition period is needed; otherwise, Gu Chengyong would have been ousted long ago. As for why Magistrate Qu is still helping Gu Chengyong?
It was Qu Tongzhi during the Ningkang era, who had also taken bribes, and the evidence of his crimes was in Gu Chengyong's possession.

But the respect that Angel Qi had shown him just now made Qu Tongzhi understand the Emperor's will...

"Commander Qu, go knock on the door so that Madam Sun can quickly invite my son and me in," said Aunt Su.

Qu Tongzhi suppressed all his thoughts and obediently went to knock on the door.

Madam Sun's family is not here. She will stay in the capital city to be closer to Madam Guan so that she can take care of her old friend.

Therefore, Qu Tongzhi knocked on the door of the Zhoushan County Magistrate's Office.

When the gatekeeper of the county magistrate's mansion opened the door, he learned that it was Magistrate Qu who had brought Concubine Su and her son to see Madam Sun. The gatekeeper's gaze towards Magistrate Qu became strange.

Qu Tongzhi hated himself for understanding, felt humiliated, and roared inwardly: I am innocent and have nothing to do with this sick mother and son!

The gatekeeper said, "Please wait a moment, Commander."

After saying this, he slammed the small door of the main gate shut and sent someone to inform Madam Sun.

When Madam Sun and her ilk were young, they dared to lead their female guards to storm the gates of powerful and influential families. How could they possibly give Aunt Su a kind look now?
Of course it's impossible.

She sent out Shan Shan, the leader of the female guards, to deliver a message.

The leader of the Shanshan clan, dressed in military uniform with two half-arm-length spikes attached to her belt, stood firm and said directly, "Princess Zhoushan has ordered that since she is a county princess appointed by the imperial court, it would be a slap in the face to the imperial court if she were to receive a concubine. Therefore, she has ordered Aunt Su and her son to return to where they came from."

"If you dare to cause any more trouble, don't blame the county princess for going on a killing spree to protect the face of the nation and eliminate the rebellious commoners!"

Chaos!

"You audacious lowly wench, who are you calling a bastard?!" Gu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot and ferocious as she pointed at Leader Shan Shan and cursed angrily.

The leader of the Shanshan clan spoke in a clear, arrogant voice, "Of course I'm talking about you. Can't you understand human language?"

Gu Xuan went mad, so enraged he completely lost control of himself, and actually ordered Qu Tongzhi: "Qu Tongzhi, seize this vile woman and beat her to death! Beat her to death!"

"I'll beat your father to death! This is the residence of the County Princess of Zhoushan, and she is the person of the County Princess of Zhoushan."

“Young Master Xuan, Chief Sun is not a slave, but a descendant of a registered female guard,” Qu Tongzhi reminded Gu Xuan, warning him not to act too recklessly.

Gu Xuan wanted to do whatever he wanted, but his body wouldn't allow it.

"You, you lowly servant, I'll kill you!" Gu Xuan roared, his body swaying from side to side, then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Leader Shanshan: "..."

The gatekeeper was quick to react, pointing at Gu Xuan and saying, "That's why anger is bad for your health. Young Master Xuan has made himself faint from anger. Aunt Su, you should take Young Master Xuan back to the manor for treatment."

"My son, my dear son, sob sob sob..." This time, Aunt Su truly cried. Ignoring Madam Sun's difficult words, she hurriedly ordered, "Quickly return to the manor and save Xuan-ge'er!"

"Quickly, back to the Commander's Mansion!" Qu Tongzhi immediately ordered his soldiers to carry Gu Xuan onto the carriage, and after Su Yiniang got on the carriage, he immediately led his troops to the Gu family.

The moment the team set off, Qu Tongzhi felt light as a feather.

Good heavens, I'm finally free from having to embarrass myself alongside this sick mother and son.

"Xuan-ge'er! My son!" Gu Chengyong was so anxious when he learned that Gu Xuan had fainted that he staggered.

The Gu family was in chaos for half an hour while trying to save Gu Xuan, until Gu Xuan woke up.

Gu Xuan's illness could no longer be hidden.
