Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

Chapter 626: The CV God’s CEO’s first love is actually a CV tycoon! (53)

Gu's father was reported for corruption and bribery, and had embezzled a large amount of food and wages from the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, and the Ministry of Justice later found the official silver in Gu's private treasury.

Gu's father denied it till his death, but the evidence was conclusive.

Embezzlement of grain and military pay was a capital crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family, but for some reason, the Si Li showed leniency and only sentenced Gu's father to exile. All of Gu's family property was confiscated, all of the female members of the Gu family were sold into slavery, and all of the male members of the Gu family were castrated and sent to the palace.

In this way, Gu Zhixu went from being a newly crowned top scholar who had not yet been granted an official position to a little eunuch in the palace.

Gu Zhixu didn't expect that he would end up staying with Si Li in this way.

It is not entirely true that he stayed by Si Li's side. After all, how could Gu Zhixu, the son of a criminal, serve Si Li, the emperor, closely? Gu Zhixu did not even have the chance to get close to Si Li. Gu Zhixu was just a little eunuch in the cold palace.

Gu Zhixu originally thought that he and Si Li would never have the chance to meet each other again in this life. However, who would have thought that on a dark and windy night, Si Li, who had been drugged, would run to the cold palace where Gu Zhixu was.

Gu Zhixu didn't know that Si Li had taken an aphrodisiac, he just thought that Si Li was drunk, so he took the initiative to step forward and support Si Li, "Your Majesty, I will take you back to the palace."

What Gu Zhixu didn't expect was that Si Li actually still remembered him.

Although Si Li could not recognize the person clearly, he called out Gu Zhixu's name accurately, "Gu Zhixu?"

Gu Zhixu couldn't explain what he felt at that moment, but after thinking about his current status, he could only respond, "My humble status as a slave is not worth your Majesty's concern."

Si Li suddenly sneered, "The top scholar is quite different now than he was in the past."

Gu Zhixu understood what Sili meant. In fact, Gu Zhixu didn't have to enter the palace to be a eunuch.

At that time, the Si Li admired Gu Zhixu's talent very much and specially granted him amnesty, allowing him not to have to undergo castration to enter the palace, but only demoted him to a commoner and from then on he was not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.

But Gu Zhixu refused. He knew that after this incident, the possibility of him becoming an official in the court was completely gone. If he accepted the amnesty, he would never see Si Li again from now on.

Si Li didn't understand why Gu Zhixu refused, so he asked.

Gu Zhixu knelt in the imperial study room where only he and the chief eunuch were present, and said with a fearless attitude: "Your Majesty, I have been fond of you for a long time. I entered the court as an official for Your Majesty. I don't want to have no chance to see your face for the rest of my life."

Si Li had never thought that he would hear such words and was stunned for a moment.

After Si Li realized what was happening, he angrily said to Gu Zhixu, who was kneeling upright on the ground: "Gu Zhixu, you are so brave."

Gu Zhixu kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "I am guilty of capital punishment, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Si Li looked at Gu Zhixu for a long time, and finally said, "Well, since you don't want my grace, then you can go to the palace with the men of the Gu family. This will also cut off your thoughts about me."

Gu Zhixu kowtowed to express his gratitude, and from then on, Gu Zhixu never saw Si Li again.

In fact, Gu Zhixu never understood why Si Li didn't kill him. He said those treasonous words with the determination to die.

This is the first time the two have met since they parted in the Imperial Study.

Gu Zhixu did not answer, and Si Li did not say anything more, only saying: "Well, since I have met you, you can help me return to the palace."

Gu Zhixu responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Gu Zhixu helped Si Li back to Si Li's bedroom. Si Li asked Gu Zhixu to call the imperial physician, and Gu Zhixu did so.

After the imperial physician finished taking the patient's pulse, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Si Li was no longer conscious, and he said sternly, "Doctor Wang, why are you hesitating about what to say in front of me?"

Doctor Wang did not dare to hesitate any longer and could only speak the truth, "Your Majesty, the aphrodisiac you were injected with is extremely potent. If you use ordinary methods to treat it, it may harm your body. You can only... have sex with a human."

Doctor Wang was trembling with fear when he spoke these words, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, for fear of being punished.

After listening to this, Si Li frowned and waved his hand to send Doctor Wang away.

Si Li looked at Gu Zhixu beside him and said, "Eunuch Gu, go find me a woman."

Gu Zhixu did not move, and then spoke boldly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to relieve your worries."
