There were no other delays along the way, and two days later, in the early morning, Gao Xun's carriage drove into the city gate without hurry.

On the afternoon after arriving in Kyoto, Gao Xun asked Sima Jing to come out alone to inquire.

General Sima, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of Gao Xun, although he was still tall and tall, but there was no joy and comfort on his face when the happy event was approaching, but he looked mentally exhausted.

Seeing this, Gao Xun had a bottom in his heart, and it seemed that this family affair was not what Sima Jing wanted, so he had to mediate from it. After sitting down, he ordered a pot of wine, and asked him suspiciously.

Sima Jing is still very honest, and he has to answer everything he says to Gao Xun.

It turned out that Sima Jing had already opened his mind, and a few days before Gao Xun and Bai Sang got married, he tactfully asked Ye Xiuying if he was willing to stay in Kyoto to be his general's wife.

When Ye Xiuying heard this, she was naturally surprised and delighted in her heart. After being overjoyed, he immediately realized that his identity was just a little guard beside the prince, if he let the old general Sima know, how could he let Sima Jing marry him into the door.

Even if she knew that Sima Jing Xu would insist on this matter because of herself, Ye Xiuying didn't want Sima Jing to lose her important position in Beijing because of this, and she didn't want to see their father and son have more disagreements. After thinking about it, he finally rejected him, and still insisted on following Gao Xun back to Jiangzhou.

However, how could the stupid general who was rejected guess what his sweetheart thought, and only thought that it was his own wishful thinking for many years. even guessed that Miss Ye was bent on the prince in front of her, and when she thought about it, her words became even more bitter.

When Gao Xun heard this, looking at his appearance, he knew that there was really a misunderstanding between Sima Jing and Ye Xiuying in front of him.

never thought that Sima Jing was also an infatuated person, even if Ye Xiuying had returned to Jiangzhou, he still thought of her, and he was ready not to marry a wife.

I don't know that when my father Sima Cheng personally trained the cavalry one day, he accidentally fell from his horse and injured his muscles and bones. The old general was already old, not as tough as when he was young, and after this incident, he was even more bedridden all day long.

Sima Jing sent people to invite doctors to come to heal him, but there was still no improvement. After training as a soldier for half his life, he finally fell from his horse, and the old general naturally felt that he had lost face. His body is not as good as day by day, and after a long time, he has no other hope for healing, and his only request for Sima Jing is to hope that he can start a family as soon as possible.

It is difficult to be a filial son, Sima Jing dragged on day after day, and finally disobeyed his father's order and became engaged to the second lady of the Shangshu family.

And the letter to Gao Xun, firstly, he knew that Ye Xiuying understood medical skills, so he could take a look at the old general's body, and secondly, he was looking forward to seeing the person in his heart again. Although he didn't know whether the prince would return to Beijing because of this, he still had a faint hope.

But even if I see her, I'm afraid it won't help. Sima Jing sighed, still sad.

Gao Xun looked at him, frowned slightly and thought for a long time, and with a roll of his eyes, he had an idea.

After returning home, I discussed with Bai Sang a little, and at noon the next day, Gao Xun called Ye Xiuying and took Bai Sang to the Juxian Building together.

Juxian Lou is another big restaurant in Kyoto, Gao Xun specially asked for a separate private room here today, and closed the door alone, leaving only the three of them to eat inside.

Gao Xun has never liked to procrastinate, and his speech is even more straightforward. After filling his stomach and drinking a glass of wine, he opened his mouth directly: "Ah Ying, this king went to see Sima Jing yesterday. ”

Ye Xiuying's subordinates made a move, and they knew that Gao Xun was going to say something today. In fact, at this moment, she was also very contradictory in her heart, and she made up her mind to follow the prince back to Jiangzhou as if she was fleeing, thinking that she would be far away from Kyoto, and after a long time, the love in her heart would fade. However, the moment I learned that Sima Jing was married, I realized that the thoughts about him had only increased these days. I couldn't help but regret my decision, and I returned to Beijing with Gao Xun in a trance. But after arriving in Kyoto, he suddenly woke up, how could he let Sima Jing retire and marry him at this time?

In such a situation, she was already in a dilemma in her heart, and looked at Gao Xun silently and continued:

"This king looks at Sima Jing, but he still misses you, what do you think?"

Ye Xiuying didn't know what to answer, so she directly changed her words: "I haven't had time to think about anything, I see that the prince is already full of thoughts." ”

"Ahem, this king is anxious for you." Gao Xun held on to the wine cup, and still asked with a smile: "You just tell the king honestly, did you fall in love with General Sima early in the morning?" ”

Ye Xiuying looked at Gao Xun's ill-intentioned look, and naturally she wouldn't admit it: "What is the prince talking nonsense." ”

Gao Xun raised his voice even more, as if he said deliberately: "Hey, when you were in the palace back then, when you followed this king to do bad things, you always dared to do it. Why don't you even dare to admit that you like someone now? ”

"When did you dare not admit it?"

But he didn't want Ye Xiuying to be more stubborn, Gao Xun was so anxious that he almost slapped the table, and before he could say the next sentence, he was stopped by the person next to him.

"Okay, okay, did you force the girl's family to admit it like this?" Bai Sang poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, glanced at her and said, "You think everyone is as cheeky as you." ”

"Isn't that cheeky?" Gao Xun suddenly softened, only drank tea with his head down, and muttered in a low voice. But his ears were still pricked up to listen to the conversation between the two beside him.

"Ah Ying, the prince also told me. She sees the affection between you and General Sima in this way, and now she is just anxious for you. Bai Sang's voice was soft, and he said slowly to Ye Xiuying: "We know that you may be concerned about your identity, but since it is a matter of mutual affection, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it like this?" ”

Bai Sang's words pierced Ye Xiuying's heart, watching Sima Jing marry someone else, she was naturally unwilling. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and listened to the humanity in front of him:

"At this moment, facing me and the prince, you don't need to think about anything else. You just have to say, do you have General Sima in your heart? ”

Ye Xiuying sighed lightly, knowing that her mind had already been guessed, and she no longer concealed it: "When I was in Jiangzhou, I often thought of the four years I followed the prince to the north. On the battlefield, I protected the prince, but he always protected me. Even because I had a scar on my eyebrows, and my heart was his. It's just"

Before the words were finished, I heard Gao Xun shout towards the door: "Sima Jing, did you hear me?" Do you want to marry that Shangshu 2,000 gold? ”

Ye Xiuying turned her head in surprise when she heard this, and saw that Sima Jing really pushed the door in, and her big black face turned red. It seemed that he was already outside the door and listened to all the conversations between the three of them.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiuying blushed at him even more.

At this moment, Gao Xun is naturally very interesting. After letting Sima Jing enter the door, he squeezed his eyes at the two of them with ulterior motives, and then led Bai Sang out of the house together.

After returning home, Gao Xun went straight to the study to reads;. Bai Sang followed behind her, looking at what the person in front of her had written in front of the table.

Bai Sang stood beside her, and lowered his head slightly to grind for her. After a while, he glanced at it and asked in a low voice:

"Ah Xun, who are you writing to?"

Gao Xun stopped writing at this moment, folded the letter and put it in the envelope, took her hand and responded, "This letter is written to Master. ”

"Master?"

Bai Sang looked at her with a little puzzlement, but he didn't know that Gao Xun had another master.

"My master, in fact, is Ah Ying's father." Gao Xun looked at the puzzled look of the person in front of him, wrapped her in his arms, and said slowly with a smile: "When I was a child, except for my father and mother, Master was probably the closest person to me. The master was an old friend of the queen mother before entering the palace, and the queen mother said that he was originally a close disciple of Mr. Ye in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and he was proficient in medical skills, but he was only willing to be a little imperial doctor in the palace. ”

However, after a palace banquet, the master accidentally had a relationship with a palace maid next to the queen mother. The queen mother didn't know about this matter, and it wasn't until the palace maid was pregnant that she finally couldn't hide it. The palace maid was the personal maid of the queen mother's marriage, and the queen mother read the love for many years and helped her find out the matter with the master. The master is also a responsible man, and when he learned that the palace maid was pregnant with his child, he agreed to marry her. ”

"That palace maid is Ah Ying's mother."

Gao Xun tightened the person in his arms as he spoke, and lowered his voice: "It's a pity that Ah Ying's mother has a thin life, and she had a difficult birth when she gave birth, leaving Ah Ying alone." Although Master is nominally her father, he is not a good father, and what he has said to Ah Ying over the years is probably not more than half of what he told me. ”

"Later, the queen mother had me, and thanks to the master, I was in this palace where needles were hidden everywhere, and I turned the danger into a few times and hid my identity. Later, when I was older, my master taught Ah Ying the art of medicine, and the queen mother asked Ah Ying to stay with me at all times. ”

"Master is half a gentleman of mine. My martial arts since I was a child were taught by my master, and my master treated me very harshly, but Ah Ying always lost a little bit. Ah Ying didn't seem to care on his face, he should be sad in his heart, everyone always wants to be closer to his father. ”

"For so many years, Ah Ying and I have long been sisters. So about Ah Ying's lifelong events, I have to spare no effort to help. ”

Bai Sang sighed unconsciously in his heart when he heard this, raised his head and asked:

"So now, where has your master gone?"

"After the death of the queen mother, the master resigned and no longer stayed in the palace. I only know that Master has a hut on the outskirts of Kyoto, but I don't know if he is still there after all these years. However, yesterday I learned from Sima Jing that General Sima was seriously ill, although you and Ah Ying both have medical skills, if the master is here, it will be easier, I still think it would be better to write a letter and send someone to find him. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Bai Sang smiled at her lightly when he heard this, and quipped slightly: "These days have made the prince take great pains. ”

"Then it's time for you to give the king some reward?" Gao Xun curled the corners of his lips, raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to approach the person in his arms.

Holding her like this at this moment, I feel very satisfied.

And if the matter between Ye Xiuying and Sima Jing is really done, I am afraid that the next thing such as retiring from relatives will have to be helped by myself to deal with the aftermath together.

I don't know when I will be able to return to Jiangzhou.
