Gu Ya spoke lightly, but Su Yunjin grasped the key point. Gu Ya had not yet told her how he used the matter of the bandits in the Chu King's fief.
The Chu King had already resolved the bandit issue in the fief in advance. Gu Ya said he had been delayed outside for more than half a month before returning, all because the Chu King had resolved the bandit matter early. Could it be that Gu Ya had created bandits for the Chu King? To keep the Chu King engaged? If this were true, wouldn't Gu Ya be colluding with the bandits? If this matter were discovered by the Chu King and brought to the Emperor, wouldn't Gu Ya be the one to suffer?
Su Yunjin didn't know what crime colluding with bandits in this place would entail. But even without thinking about it, one could tell that colluding with bandits and causing trouble with them would carry a very serious charge.
Su Yunjin was visibly anxious.
