Chapter 19: Starlight

It often takes more than half a month to spread the news from Zhongdu to the snowy region, but the Sifang family has its own manpower in Zhongdu to pay close attention to the dynamics of the imperial city, so the news of the death of Zhuluo Forty-seventh and the Empress was transmitted through the flying pigeon, and soon spread to the Snowy Guigu family.

After reading the spy report, Guigu Qianli began to think about how to mention this matter to the second prince Minghua. The relationship between the Guigu family and the Zhuluo royal family is actually not very close, but the ancestors of the Guigu family owe a favor to the Zhuluo royal family, therefore, the ancestors have a training, if the Zhuluo royal family goes to ask for help with a token, the descendants of the Guigu family must do their best to help.

Some time ago, Guigu Qianli received a token and a secret letter brought to Yunzhou by the 47th Emperor of Zhuluo. According to the requirements of the secret letter, the Guigu family must help the second prince Minghua achieve his wish, and the secret letter did not specifically say what his wish was, but it was obvious that the second prince Minghua must be protected.

Guigu Qianli thought about it for most of the night, and decided that it would be better to tell Minghua the news directly, if he really decided to go back to Zhongdu to mourn, Guigu Qianli would also help him achieve his wish, of course, Guigu Qianli didn't want the second prince Minghua to make this decision, because as long as he left the snowy range, he was afraid that if he wanted to save Minghua's life, he would have to go through I don't know how much bloody rain and bloody wind.

The next day, Guigu Qianli called Xingxi to his study to tell him the news, to his surprise, Xingxi turned out to be very calm, although he had tears in his eyes, but he was still calm, "Uncle Guigu, I know, my father also left some secret guard power for me, and I also received the news." The father and mother were poisoned by Huangfu Qingyun. ”

Guigu Qianli also knew that Xingxi had some of his own strength, but he didn't expect that he would get the news of Zhongdu earlier than himself, thinking that although he was silent on weekdays, his bearing of belonging to the royal family was very extraordinary, and it was a pity that the Zhuluo royal family was able to produce such a talent at this stage of development.

Chisato Guigu asked Xingxi what his plans were next. Xingxi was silent for a while and said, "After I came to Yunzhou, I received a secret letter from my father, and he mentioned that no matter what happened in Zhongdu, I couldn't go back. Unless I have enough strength to bring down the Huangfu family. But we all know that the power of the Huangfu family has been dominant in Zhongdu for many centuries, and it is impossible for me to recapture Zhongdu. Unless ......"

Qianli Guigu's face was gloomy, "Unless what?"

Xingxi stared at Guigu Qianli and said, "Unless the family on the border of the four sides can enter the Zhongdu Qin King, Uncle Guigu, will you?"

Guigu Qianli's face was as unmoved as a mountain, "You know, without the order of the Emperor of Zhongdu, we can't bring troops into Zhongdu." ”

Xingxi couldn't help but lower his head, he was a little depressed, Guigu Qianli was right, if there is no imperial order from the Central Capital, if any family in the Quartet leads troops into the Central Capital, it will be equivalent to a rebel. Everyone can be punished. How could Chisato Guigu do such a detrimental thing to himself.

Guigu Qianli patted Xingxi on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much, in my opinion, your brother is also an excellent person, and when he becomes the emperor, he will understand that the Huangfu family will have to deal with him sooner or later." ”

Xingxi frowned slightly, his elder brother has been very close to the Huangfu family since he was a child, but he was afraid that he would be killed by others in the end, and he also helped others count the money.

What Xingxi didn't tell Guigu Qianli was that his father said in a secret letter that if he and the queen had an accident, he was afraid that Zhongdu would have fallen into an uncontrollable situation, and even if his crown brother became the new emperor, he would definitely not live long. If his father's prediction is accurate, before Xingxi's twentieth birthday, the Zhuluo Dynasty will completely collapse, and his father told him not to go back to Zhongdu for the rest of his life, just find a place to have children. The father also said that he could not let the bloodline of the Zhuluo royal family be wiped out.

Xingxi is now most worried about the second and fifth sisters of Zhongdu, so he began to think about how to use the power of the Guigu family to bring them out of Zhongdu, and it happened that the new emperor ascended the throne, and the border families of the Quartet would send people to Zhongdu to congratulate. Xingxi wants to convince Chisato Guiya to help bring her two younger sisters to the snowy land.

Half a month later, there was indeed an imperial decree in Zhongdu, requiring people from all over the country to send people to Zhongdu to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. Chisato Guigu decided to send Guigu Yanli to go instead.

After Xingxi found out, he took the initiative to find Guigu Yanli. Guigu Yanli asked Xingxi what his plans were. Xingxi told Guigu Yanli about his plan. Xingxi will mix the two extraordinary secret guards around him into the guards of Guigu Yanli, and when Guigu enters the palace, these two people are responsible for finding the second princess and the fifth princess, and they bring the tokens given by Xingxi, and when the time comes, they only need to think about taking the two princesses out of the palace and then sending them to the snowy region.

Guigu Yanli agreed without much hesitation. However, he couldn't hide this matter from the patriarch Guigu Qianli, so he told Guigu Qianli, Guigu Qianli thought about it for a few days, and on the day Guigu Yanli left Yunzhou, he sent two women to bring him to Zhongdu.

Guigu Yanli was overjoyed, but Xingxi was very incomprehensible, Guigu Yanli was rarely kind enough to explain to him, "Our female soldiers are not allowed to have eyebrows, these two are specially trained, although their skills are not as good as the two secret guards you gave, but with them to take care of the two princesses at that time, it is naturally more convenient."

When Guigu Yanli arrived in Zhongdu, it was just in time for the grand new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and the two women sent by Guigu Qianli, one dressed as the concubine Hu who served Guigu Yanli, and the other dressed as a maid who served the Hu family.

Guigu Yanli took them into the palace, and the Hu family went to see the queen mother, queen and other royal relatives. The second princess and the fifth princess now live together, and the fifth princess has become a little adult since the death of her father and queen mother, and she has followed the second princess all day long, and has become the little tail of the second princess. The two little princesses were not very close to the new emperor's concubines, although the queen and the concubines were very friendly to them.

When the emperor met with Guigu Yanli, he took the initiative to ask Guigu Qianli's physical condition, "The last time I saw Uncle Guigu, he was still in good health, why can't he come to Zhongdu in person this time?"

Guigu Yanli replied respectfully, "Uncle, he has recently suffered from rheumatism, and his legs and feet are inconvenient, but my two cousins are still too young to take on this heavy responsibility, so I have to work for me to come to Zhongdu to His Majesty." It is my pleasure. Zhongdu is very prosperous, the first time I came here, I was really stunned. ”

The emperor laughed and specially set up a banquet in Wangxiantai to entertain Guigu Yanli. Hu found an opportunity to be alone with the second princess at the banquet, the second princess was ten years old, already a sensible little girl, the death of the first emperor one after another, so that she quickly grew into a real imperial princess.

She treats strangers very coldly, it is a noble coldness, it seems that she is indifferent to everything, when Hu secretly showed the token of the second prince Minghua, it was a delicate fan, the eyes of the second princess lit up, and she looked at Hu vigilantly.

Hu smiled slightly, took off a bracelet from his wrist, just moved lightly, and took out a thin note, which was a secret letter written by the second prince Minghua to the second princess. After the second princess took the letter suspiciously, she immediately recognized that it was a letter written by her second brother, and after she read it at a glance and ten lines, Hu took the note and burned it on the candle flame.

The second princess seemed to be very reluctant to burn the note, and kept staring at the note that was swallowed by the candle flames. Hu asked softly, "Does the princess know Xingxi's thoughts?"

The second prince has already explained in the secret letter that his new name is Xingxi, and the name Minghua can no longer be mentioned in Zhongdu, so it is safest to call him by the name Xingxi.

The second princess was upset, and she was naturally very happy when she suddenly learned the news of her second imperial brother, but why did the second imperial brother leave Zhongdu with Xiao Wu'er?

Hu Shi saw the doubts in the second princess's heart, but he didn't have time to explain more carefully to her, so he could only say hurriedly, "Time is pressing, we can only stay in Zhongdu for another three days, to be honest, Xingxi's worries are not unreasonable." It's too dangerous for you and the five princesses to stay in it. The emperor himself is not able to protect himself, how can he protect you?"

Although the second princess is only ten years old, she knows very well about the battles in the court and the struggle of **, she naturally knows that the Huangfu family can even start with her father and mother, and she will have no scruples about herself and Xiao Wu'er, the emperor's brother seems to be the king of a country, but he does tie his hands and feet, he doesn't even dare to avenge his father and mother, and how to protect himself and his fifth sister.

Or you should follow the advice of the second emperor brother and follow the Hu family to the snowy region to find the second emperor brother. But how did he and Xiao Wu'er, the two big living people, disappear from the palace?

She looked at Hu Shi with a determined look in her eyes and said, "How can the two of us leave the palace without knowing it?"

The Hu family was just worried that the second princess would be reluctant to leave Zhongdu, but after hearing the second princess's question, they finally put their minds at ease, and the second prince had already drawn a map of Zhongdu and the palace for them to memorize. And the second prince told her that the two little princesses would swim in the water.

The Hu family couldn't be alone with the second princess for too long, so they had to hurriedly inform the second princess that she would find an opportunity to swim into the Chaofeng Hall from the Zhonghai Sea in the middle of the night, and let the second princess wait for her in the Chaofeng Palace when the time came.

Zhonghai is the most natural barrier of the palace, in the middle of the sea, there are ships patrolling day and night, to prevent someone from sneaking into the palace, in fact, with the palace as the center, a radius of ten miles is the palace sphere of influence, if someone swims from outside the palace area of influence into the palace, must not stop swimming for at least three hours, the water in the sea will become very cold at night, no one can swim underwater for so long.
