Gu Lingyu immediately shut his mouth. The entire Imperial Court fell into silence.
The Emperor rubbed his brows in discomfort. Then, he looked at Gu Lingyu and said, "No matter what, the Commander's Seal is in your hands. If you don't go to the battlefield, who will?"
Gu Lingyu gazed at everyone in the Imperial Court.
Gu Ruoyun's group snorted coldly and turned their heads away. The others lowered their heads to avoid him.
Gu Lingyu's eyes lit up when he thought of Gu Ruoyun.
"Emperor, Guang Pingwang is awake now. He can go to the battlefield. Besides, this is his Commander's Seal, to begin with. He should go."
A glimmer of light flashed in the Emperor's eyes. This was his intention all along. He took a long trip to make Gu Lingyu say these words.
"If that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Knowing that he did not need to battle, Gu Lingyu hurriedly nodded his head.
