Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn
Chapter 172 He was destined to be a faceless man
Gu Mingli bent down, reaching out his hand as if to grab something alive from under the bed.
He called out as he approached Xiao Ye:
"Oh! It's a kitten! Mimi, come here! Oh my, so cute~"
Everyone in the room widened their eyes instantly.
Qi Qi turned to look at Gu Mingli and the direction he reached out.
Then, I gasped.
There was nothing there where Gu Mingli reached out.
Geng Zhi raised his hand to rub his eyes, then frowned tightly, bent down, and looked into the air following Gu Mingli's hand.
I moved two steps to the side as if possessed, and looked at it again from a different angle.
There's still nothing there.
Is the "cat" that Master Gu saw the same thing that everyone else saw?
Liu An stared wide-eyed and pursed his lips.
He subconsciously took half a step back, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.
He was terrified by Gu Mingli's actions, his face turned pale, and he almost couldn't breathe.
In the dead of night... these delirious actions...
Lord Gu could not possibly be...
Did you bump into something unclean?
Geng Zhi also subconsciously placed his hand on the sword at his waist.
He stared at the air as if it were a monster that might reveal itself at any moment, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
No, Lord Gu, what exactly did you see?
Before Liu An could think any further, he saw Gu Mingli bend down and "catch the kitten," approaching the emperor.
then……
Suddenly, she straightened up, squinted at Xiao Ye, and placed her fists next to her cheeks.
He spoke in a high-pitched voice.
Meow~~~
Everyone: "………………"
The room was deathly silent.
A night breeze blew by, and the candlelight flickered.
Pei Yu stared in disbelief, tears still streaming down her face, but she swallowed her sobs back.
The two imperial guards supporting him were witnessing Lord Gu's flamboyant actions for the first time, and their minds were blank for a while.
Liu An opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Rather than something unclean, it seems more like Lord Gu has been possessed by some evil spirit!
Xiao Ye pursed his lips, leaned back slightly, and raised his chin slightly.
Clench both hands into fists on your knees.
A sudden, violent throbbing sensation shot through my temples.
He lowered his eyelids and looked at Gu Mingli with a "you're sick" look.
"Gu Mingli".
"Your subject is here."
"What are you doing?"
Gu Mingli glanced at his system interface.
[Task in progress... Completion rate: 98%]
98%? Still 2% short?
Hey!
He felt that he had accumulated ninety-eight stabs to his social death.
The system now tells him that he needs two more cuts before the coffin can be closed.
Go and invite your friends to help!
Gu Mingli lowered his head and took a deep breath.
The concept of "male dignity" has been shattered into pieces.
A gust of wind blew, and the memories were scattered into the minds of everyone present.
Tonight, he is destined to be a faceless man!
He slowly raised his eyes.
One eye open, one eye closed, hands held like a gun, pointed at Xiao Ye.
I made a wink to kill the moment.
He even added his own voiceover.
"biu~"
Her eyes sparkled, exuding charm.
Double kill!!!
The petrification effect continues for everyone inside the room.
Their eyes are dirty!
With trembling hands, Eunuch Liu swayed back and forth between "Should we call the imperial physician?" and "Should we call the Taoist priest?"
Gu Mingyue covered her mouth and turned her head away, suppressing a laugh.
A castle was carved out with the toes.
Her brother really went all out to complete the mission.
[Ding! Mission complete.]
[Affection +5. Tyrant's corruption paused. Current affection: -445]
Xiao Ye: "..." (¬_¬)
Gu Mingli: "..." (;꒪ꈊ꒪;)
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
Calm down! Stay calm! Endure it!
This behavior would be considered provocative on someone else, but on Gu Mingli it's just standard procedure.
"His Majesty,"
Seeing that Xiao Ye hadn't gotten angry, Gu Mingli quickly took advantage of his confusion to start brainwashing him.
"Young Master Pei mistook me for you, which is why he behaved rudely before the Emperor. In truth, he only wanted to protect you."
Xiao Ye's gaze fell intently on Gu Mingli's face.
His eyes were filled with the displeasure of an emperor being disobeyed.
"Are you protecting him?"
Gu Mingli took a deep breath and quickly tried to soothe the fur.
"For Your Majesty's sake, this man is useful to keep alive."
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What's it for?"
Gu Mingli couldn't come up with a plausible reason for the time being.
He could only turn to look at Pei Yu first.
The guy was lying on the ground, his face covered in snot and tears.
Hearing Gu Mingli speak up for her, she quickly craned her neck and looked at him expectantly.
Gu Mingli gestured with his chin towards him.
"Pei Yu, what...uh...special skills do you have?"
Pei Yu was stunned by her tears, and then she was shocked by Gu Mingli's performance art.
My head is completely blank right now.
His lips trembled for a long time before he could only manage to utter one sentence.
"I...I have exceptionally long hair!"
Gu Mingli: "..."
Pei Yu thought for a moment, then added, "My legs are exceptionally long!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at his crotch, as if trying to prove his point.
Gu Mingli's eye twitched twice, and he quickly reached out.
"Stop!"
He quickly changed his question.
"I'm asking what you're better at than others?"
Pei Yu opened her mouth, then realized what was happening.
He frowned, biting his fingers as he pondered intently for a long time.
"I am far more outstanding than the average person. If you ask me to list them all now, I can't do it all in a short time."
Gu Mingli: "..."
Or we should just drag him out and chop him up.
Pei Yu finally calmed down and began to seriously list his strengths.
I eat more than others.
Gu Mingli: "..."
"I spend money faster than others."
Gu Mingyue sat in the corner, clutching her handkerchief and suppressing a laugh.
"I'm among the top three cricket fighters in the entire capital!"
Pei Yu spoke with utmost seriousness, as if reporting on his life's achievements.
"I'm an unparalleled dice player; I'm the only disciple of the Ghost Hand Gambler!"
Gu Mingli's expression was indescribable.
Pei Yu became more and more confident as she spoke, and her voice grew louder.
"I'm good at Cuju (ancient Chinese football)! There are very few people in the whole capital who can beat me."
"I have traveled far and wide, and my friends are all over the world! From south to north, I have a long list of my distinguished noble brothers!"
"The gossip I've gathered about the aristocratic families is the most comprehensive in the entire capital!"
When he got to the last point, Pei Yu even raised his head slightly.
The pride of scions of prominent families, who have seen much of the world, is evident here.
Gu Mingli's eyes lit up.
He clapped his hands suddenly and turned to Xiao Ye, saying, "Oh, Your Majesty! Look at this talent!"
Xiao Ye's expression grew even colder.
He's just a spoiled brat.
Gu Mingli laughed awkwardly, unsure how to praise this playboy any further.
However, if Xiao Ye cannot make Pei Yu feel useful, he will inevitably confiscate Pei's property in the future.
Gu Mingli quickly gave his sister a look.
Sister! Save the day!
Gu Mingyue sighed and coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, wasn't this Young Master Pei assigned to our Shunfeng Yuantong Logistics Park as a resident official of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"And judging from his own words, he is indeed a talented person."
Xiao Ye gave Gu Mingyue a cold glance.
He was clearly waiting for her to explain.
Gu Mingyue seized the opportunity and quickly fabricated a story on the spot.
"Your Majesty, you see! Spending money quickly indicates strong purchasing power, which shows that you understand economic circulation."
"Being good at Cuju (ancient Chinese football) requires excellent physical fitness."
"Having friends all over the world is even more impressive, indicating that this person has excellent social skills and a wide network of connections."
She got more and more excited as she talked, and even she herself felt that Pei Yu was capable.
"Your Majesty, such a person would be called a social butterfly among commoners, but a diplomatic talent in the imperial court."
"If he were placed in the Court of State Ceremonial, he might be able to go on a mission to the Western Regions and come in very useful in the future."
After Gu Mingyue finished composing, she sat up straight.
The room fell silent again, and everyone awaited His Majesty's decision.
Xiao Ye rested his left hand on his knee, his index finger tapping the kneecap intermittently.
After a moment, he finally spoke.
"It's acceptable to avoid being imprisoned by the imperial court."
Pei Yu trembled and almost kowtowed to express his gratitude on the spot.
But Xiao Ye's next words made him gasp for breath again.
"Write a pledge of allegiance to the imperial court. Expose one person, and one member of your Pei family will be spared."
Gu Mingli and Gu Mingyue both gasped in shock.
The Warlords!
Could it be that they've exposed their father's corruption?
