Chapter 155: Princess Ziqiong
For fear of being chased over, although the two horses had run fast enough, Gu Yunjin in the carriage still couldn't help but worry, and listened attentively to the surrounding movements along the way. Pen~Fun~ Although www.biquge.info didn't know what kind of situation she would face when she arrived in Huanyue Country, she really didn't want to be arrested again. Fortunately, along the way, it went well.
"Master, is it dawn? Where have we gone? I don't know how long it took to run, Gu Yunjin finally couldn't help it, and asked the master who was driving the carriage.
I only heard the coachman say: "It's dawn early, it's past noon now, the princess can rest assured, we avoided the official road and took the small road, it is not so easy for them to catch up with us." ”
Hearing him say this, Gu Yunjin's heart was comforted a little, but the three words 'princess' made her heart throb fiercely. She lay back in the carriage in silence, pulled up the thin quilt, and said no more.
I don't know how long it took, but the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in front of it, and it was quickly approaching.
Gu Yunjin's expression tightened, and he hurriedly sat up and asked, "What's wrong?" Who's in front of you? Is it from the Raccoon Moon Country? ”
The coachman's task was completed, he exhaled a long breath and said: "It's the person who came to pick up the princess, don't worry, the princess has reached an agreement with them, they won't hurt the princess, just follow them back to Huanyue Country with peace of mind." ”
While the two were talking, more than a dozen horsemen and horses had come to the eyes, all of them dressed as inconspicuous civilians.
The crowd dismounted, and one of them took out a token-like object from his bosom and held it out to the coachman.
After careful inspection, the coachman handed the reins to the man and said, "Good work." After getting out of the carriage, he said goodbye to Gu Yunjin across the carriage: "Princess, my task has been completed, and I want to go back to report to the prince, farewell." ”
Gu Yunjin replied: "Master be careful on the road. ”
Then the coachman took a horse that was unridden and rode away.
After the people of Huanyue Kingdom caught Gu Yunjin, they didn't dare to stay longer, and they still hurried non-stop, because they were still in Dacheng at this time, and it would be more dangerous to stay for a while.
After traveling day and night for several days, seeing that they were about to enter the territory of Huanyue in two or three days, everyone dared to relax a little and dare to stay at the inn at night.
"Doctor, is my eye hurt severely? Can it be cured? In the wing room of the inn, Gu Yunjin asked the doctor who was wrapping gauze around her eyes.
The people who came to pick her up in Huanyue Kingdom knew that her eyes were injured, so they specially brought the imperial doctor in the palace to accompany them, and since they caught her that day, they have begun to treat her eyes. It's been nearly ten days now, but she still can't see clearly, and she's very worried.
When the gray-bearded doctor heard this, he comforted in a positive tone: "Don't worry, eldest princess, you will definitely be cured." The eldest princess's eye injury is mainly due to excessive tears, coupled with sleepless day and night overwork, and the injury time is not very long, now as long as you don't cry and rest well, you can slowly recover, the eldest princess don't be anxious, it will be fine. ”
After receiving the doctor's affirmative reply, Gu Yunjin no longer struggled with it.
About another five or six days passed, and as the doctor said, Gu Yunjin obviously felt that seeing things was getting clearer day by day.
After entering the territory of Huanyue Country, the speed of everyone's journey was significantly slower.
Since Gu Yunjin's eyes could see things clearly, she refused to stay quietly in the carriage, but raised the curtain from time to time to look at the scene outside.
In fact, she doesn't have any special feelings about her identity as the princess of Huanyue Kingdom, but she is very interested in the hidden stories behind it, and she always feels that someone is manipulating all this behind her.
After a long journey of more than 20 days, on a brilliant evening evening, Gu Yunjin finally returned to the Huanyue Palace and lived in the dormitory prepared for himself - Qionghua Palace.
On the first night in Qionghua Palace, Gu Yunjin asked his grandmother about the situation of the Huanyue royal family.
From Mama's words, Gu Yunjin learned that she was the eldest princess of Huanyue, Michelle Yu, who suddenly disappeared two months after giving birth that year, and searched for many days without success, which became an unsolved case for the Huanyue royal family.
It was also learned that ten years ago, Emperor Yu died one after another, and the twelve-year-old crown prince Yu Shaojing succeeded to the throne and was assisted by Yuan Mingcheng, the general of the auxiliary state.
Gu Yunjin looked at the grandmother who was carefully making the bed, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Did the imperial brother send someone to pick me up?" How did the royal brother find me thousands of miles away? ”
Mama shook her head and said, "The slave maid heard that General Yuan found the princess, so she sent someone to bring the princess back." ”
"He's so sure I'm your princess who has been missing for years?" Gu Yunjin couldn't help but be curious about this General Yuan, and she felt that it was necessary for her to meet this General Yuan.
Mama glanced at her and said, "The princess's appearance is not much different from the queen mother who has gone, maybe General Yuan has seen the princess outside and recognized the princess." ”
Gu Yunjin smiled and didn't say anything more.
After Gu Yunjin returned to the Huanyue Palace, his main task was to heal his eyes and recuperate his body, and to learn about some of the situation in the harem of the court.
After more than 20 days of treatment, there is no major problem with her eyes, as long as she pays attention to rest, she will heal slowly. But her body is in a state of serious loss, after the woman gave birth, she needed to recuperate, but she was imprisoned in Dachengtian Prison for less than a month, enduring a hellish life, and later, she has been running on the road, unable to rest well, and eventually led to a weak body.
On this day, Gu Yunjin had breakfast, and when she asked the palace maid to help her twitch her shoulder to relieve her fatigue, she suddenly heard the voice of the eunuch outside: "The queen mother has arrived, the eldest prince has arrived, and Princess Lingyin has arrived." ”
After Gu Yunjin heard this, she hurriedly got up to greet her, she didn't know the etiquette of the Huanyue Palace, and she didn't salute, she just smiled and looked at the comer. When I saw two children about four years old with pink makeup, my eyes suddenly blurred.
The moment Empress Zheng saw Gu Yunjin, she immediately dispelled the suspicion in her heart, this is the same appearance as the Queen Mother who has gone, who would it be if she was not Princess Ziqiong, who had been missing for many years?
"It's good that the royal sister is back, she has suffered after so many years of exile." Empress Zheng couldn't help but sigh when she saw her with tears in her eyes, and then ordered Yu Zhen and Yu Ying, who were hiding behind her and staring at Gu Yunjin curiously, "Zhen'er, Ying'er, quickly, call Auntie." ”
"Auntie." A sweet and soft voice sounded at the same time.
Gu Yunjin's heart was softened, he squatted down, touched the little boy's face, touched the little girl's face, and asked with a tearful smile: "Really good, are you dragon and phoenix fetuses?" ”
The two little ones didn't seem to know what a dragon and phoenix fetus was, and they both looked up at Empress Zheng.
Empress Zheng said: "Yes, Ying'er is my sister. ”
Thinking of Dai Xiangping and Dai Xianghuan, who were thousands of miles away, Gu Yunjin was sad.
Yuan Mingcheng took Gu Yunjin back to the palace and did not reveal too much about Gu Yunjin, so the people in the palace did not know about Gu Yunjin's situation.
Empress Zheng naturally didn't know, she looked at Gu Yunjin with a sad expression, thinking that she was sad about her bumpy fate, so she persuaded: "Don't be sad about the imperial sister, everything is over, and you can tell the imperial sister-in-law what you want in the palace in the future." The imperial doctor said that your eyes have not healed yet, and you can't shed tears, so don't cry quickly. ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Yunjin sincerely thanked and wiped away his tears with a silk handkerchief.
Then, the palace maid served tea and snacks, and several people took their seats.
After taking a seat, Empress Zheng never took the initiative to say a word, except for answering Gu Yunjin's question, she just drank tea silently, looking preoccupied, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were also deeply sad.
After Gu Yunjin said a few words to her, he went to tease the two children, "Is your father very busy every day?" "It's been three days since she returned to the palace, but she hasn't seen Yu Shaojing once. She is Yu Shaojing's own sister, so it makes sense, Yu Shaojing should see her, right?
Yu Ying's small face fell, and she pouted slightly: "Maybe, my brother and I haven't seen my father for a long time, and the last time we saw him was when my brother and I celebrated our birthday......"
Gu Yunjin was very surprised, his eyes swept to Empress Zheng, but he saw that the sorrow on her face deepened. She knew that she had inadvertently touched Empress Zheng's sore spot, and she couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart.
In the following days, when Gu Yunjin learned some about the harem of the Huanyue Dynasty, it was not surprising that he was worried about Empress Zheng.
The emperor of Huanyue was Yu Shaojing, but it was Yuan Mingcheng, the general of the auxiliary state, who held the power of the court, and it is said that Yuan Mingcheng did not obey the emperor's orders and monopolized power during the reign of the first emperor. Today's Yu Shaojing has become a puppet emperor.
As the king of a country, but he can't make his own decisions at all, the dignity of the emperor has been seriously trampled, but think how aggrieved and depressed Yu Shaojing should be in his heart, he doesn't want to be at the mercy of others like his father, but he can't resist, so his will is becoming more and more depressed, from the initial absence of the early dynasty, to the current completely not asking about the government, indulging in wine all day long, singing every night, and extremely lacking attention to the only two children.
At the same time, Gu Yunjin also heard about Yuan Mingcheng. Back then, Yuan Mingcheng had a marriage contract with Yu Fengluan, the lord of the royal palace who went to Dacheng and his relatives.
When Gu Yunjin heard about this, she was shocked, she wanted to ask more clearly, but those old people in the palace didn't know whether they were afraid of Yuan Mingcheng or really didn't know the inside story, so they refused to say anything more, so she had to give up. Thinking about it, she could only ask Yuan Mingcheng about these many things.
Almost a month after coming back, Gu Yunjin's eyes were completely healed, and his body was slowly recovering.
In the afternoon of this day, Gu Yunjin walked out of the palace and walked to a peach blossom forest on the outskirts of the city. According to her many inquiries, she learned that Yuan Mingcheng often went to that place, and just now, she got the news that Yuan Mingcheng went to Peach Blossom Forest again.
After arriving at the destination, Gu Yunjin really saw a burly and tall figure standing quietly outside the peach forest full of green peach branches. (To be continued.) )
