Chapter 545: The Token in the Shipwreck
Although Gu Yunxin and Gu Peiqing have a weak relationship, and it can even be said that the two of them are enemies for two lifetimes, when she heard the news that Gu Peiqing was killed, she still felt a little inexplicably sad in her heart.
"Master, then Gu Peiqing is also to blame, giving birth to such a child, and hurting innocent lives for this, why should the master be sad?" Hongxuan said lightly.
Why? Gu Yunxin also wanted to ask this question, maybe it was because she had revenge, or maybe in her heart, there was still a trace of residual family affection for Gu Peiqing. But whatever the reason, the entanglement between them is over.
"It's nothing, after all, it's a brotherly relationship with her, and I feel a little sour when I hear that she has no home after she dies." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"If the master cares about family affection, then he can help her build a tomb, so that her heart can be better." Hongxuan said softly.
In fact, in the eyes of Hongxuan and Hongling, Gu Peiqing's ability to have today's ending is completely self-inflicted, and there is nothing to be sad about at all. However, since the master is sad in her heart, she must think of a way to minimize this sadness.
After Xiao's death, King Xian was also deposed and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, which would be the best result for him.
And Feng Concubine also hanged herself in her palace after these things were over, and before she hanged herself, she also left a unique book before she hanged herself, on which she wrote everything she had done.
Xiao Ziming killed his wife and son, and was spurned by the world, even if Ning Guohou wanted to keep this son, he couldn't do anything.
After all, the national law of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate the existence of such a person who destroys human nature. Xiao Ziming was finally sentenced by the Criminal Department, and he was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market three days later.
On the eve of Xiao Ziming's beheading, he bought someone off and asked to see Gu Yunxin. He really wanted to know why Gu Yunxin had spared no effort to push him to the Infernal Hell.
Of course, his request was sighted, but Gu Yunxin was accompanied by the prince, and Gu Yunxin would not tell him that it was because he owed him in his previous life.
Everything has been settled, and the prince and the others are ready to embark on the journey to the south to check Caoyun.
Under the repeated strong requests of the Queen Mother, the Lady of the Dingguo Mansion and her mother, Gu Yunxin took the child to the south, and she had to bring a few people to follow her.
Originally, Gu's mother didn't need to send anyone, because this Fu Mama was already very experienced. But Gu Qinghong asked for his life, he must follow Gu Yunxin, and Gu's mother finally agreed to Gu Qinghong's request for the safety of her daughter and grandson.
In this way, the group embarked on the road to the south, and the identity of the trip was the family that came from the north to settle in the south.
After all, there are women and children in this team, and if they go out to do business, who will bring their wives and children to talk about business?
In this team, everyone's identity has not changed, only the name has changed.
Gu Yunxin sat on the boat with the child in her arms, Xun'er took the boat for the first time, and felt that everything was very novel, and a pair of big eyes looked here, here, and there.
"Master, it seems that the little master likes to take the boat very much, look at this happy look." Mama Fu hugged Xun'er and said with a smile.
"Xun'er is exploring the world, everything is curious, not strange, you must take a good look at him, don't let him touch things at will." Yun Zheng smiled lightly.
"What Yun Gongzi said is as if you were a father." Xiangzhi quipped.
"Although I have never been a father, I am a doctor, so I naturally know what a child will be like." Yun Zheng said lightly.
Gu Yunxin knew that Yun Zheng was not good at pediatrics, and before Xun'er was born, he began to study pediatric medical books, and he knew many things about children very thoroughly.
At this moment, the hull of the boat shook violently, and Mama Fu hugged Xun'er tightly and stabilized her figure. Jinhua and Ziling were on their sides, for fear that one of them would accidentally let Xun'er fall into the water.
"Xiangzhi, go and see, what's going on?" Gu Yunxin said softly.
"Yes."
Xiangzhi walked out of the cabin quickly and saw the boatman at the helm, "Brother shipwright, what happened just now?" ”
"Miss Xiangzhi, it seems that something in the water has rubbed against the bottom of the ship, and it is possible that the anchor is stuck somewhere. Someone has already been sent into the water to check. The boatman said loudly.
Xiangzhi quietly waited for the news of the underwater inquiry, and after waiting for about half a pillar of incense, the person who went into the water came up.
"Our anchor is stuck in a sunken ship, go and report to you." The boatman shouted.
In a few moments, the prince descended from the third floor of the ship to the second floor. The boatman hurriedly said: "Master, our anchor is stuck in a sunken ship, and the shipwreck looks like an official ship." ”
Official ships? This sea area is very close to Kyoto, there are no pirates, no fishermen fishing, there are merchant ships and official ships, let alone official ships, even if the merchant ships are sunk, the government will definitely have a record.
Even if someone bought off the government and didn't report it, how could he not know about it? Unless...... After the sinking of this official ship, it was concealed, and then another ship took the place of this official ship.
"Are there any other signs on the ship?" The prince said in a deep voice.
"If you go back to your master, yes, your subordinates have found this." With that, the man handed a rusty token into the prince's hand.
"Okay, you all go and change your clothes, let's prepare some ginger soup in the kitchen and everyone drink some, even if it's spring, it's cold in the sea." The prince said lightly.
"Thank you, sir." The man stepped away.
The prince took the token and looked at it in his hand, the token had been soaked in seawater for too long, and it would take a lot of effort to get rid of the dirt on it and see the original appearance of the token.
"How? What's wrong? Yun Zheng came to the prince's side and said softly.
"This, can you take a look at the cleanup?" The prince handed the token to Yun Zheng's hand and said.
Yun Zheng looked at the token in his hand and couldn't help frowning, "This is not difficult, just soak it with some medicine and remove the rust on it." ”
"Can you read the words on it?"
"Of course, don't you believe in my skills?" Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows confidently and said.
"I can naturally trust your skills, but this thing, my intuition tells me, it's important." The prince said in a deep voice.
"Intuition? When did you rely on your instincts? And not a woman. Yun Zheng laughed.
"What's wrong with women, I have, you don't, envy? you off. Hurry up and get this token ready, and Ben Gongzi will go and see how they are fishing. With that, the prince walked up to the next deck.
When I came to the deck, I saw that the bucket was full of fish and shrimp, and then smiled and said, "So many have been salvaged?" That's enough to eat a few meals. ”
"Master, I heard that it is very nutritious to eat more fish and shrimp for children, and my subordinates will make steamed fish for the little master to eat in a while." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, you've all worked hard, that's enough. When we got to the next stop, we went to the inn on the shore for a few days. The prince said lightly.
"Master, aren't we going straight to the south? Do you want to stay in between? Ling Xiao wondered.
Originally, the plan was to go directly to the south, otherwise I would not have chosen to leave Kyoto and travel by boat. Staying in the middle, could it be that the crown princess is uncomfortable?
"If you need to stay, you can make arrangements." After speaking, the prince turned around and went back to the cabin on the second floor.
Xun'er is almost a year old, she already knows people, and when she sees her father, she happily shakes her little hands to hug her.
The prince took Xun'er and held it in his arms cautiously, "The child is too light, and it doesn't have much weight." Mama Fu, what should I give Xun'er something to eat? ”
"Hahaha, this is a heavy weapon, I feel light when I hold the child, Xun'er is very good, don't worry." Mama Fu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, I think it's quite heavy when I hold Xun'er, it's about the same as the sword I usually hold." Gu Qinghong said hurriedly.
"You, it's not small, when you come back, let you go into the army to experience and experience, your sword is already very light, and it's heavy?" The prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Brother-in-law, is it true? Do you really want me to go to the army for training? Gu Qinghong said excitedly.
"yes, or not? Unless you don't want to join the army, but want to be a civil servant. ”
"No, I don't want to be like my father. I want to be like my cousin and uncle, lead the army to fight, and become a great general. Gu Qinghong said with a smile.
Actually, originally he wanted to say that I wanted to lead troops to fight like my brother-in-law. But his brother-in-law is now the crown prince, and the future emperor, if he is like him, he will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Well, there is a backbone. Qinghong, otherwise you can follow me, how about I take you to the patrol camp? King Huai smiled and hooked his finger at Gu Qinghong.
"No, the patrol battalion just goes around Kyoto every day, and it's all small things. How can there be a joy in killing the enemy on the battlefield and serving the country. Gu Qinghong said angrily.
"You kid, how dare you say that the patrol battalion is useless? Don't underestimate the patrol battalion, the patrol battalion is responsible for the security of Kyoto, and any river and foreign thieves and mobs rely on the patrol battalion. King Huai said seriously.
"Yes, it's still a trivial matter to kill the enemy on the battlefield." Gu Qinghong was puzzled.
"You doll, you're too murderous. Fifth brother, don't put him in the army, otherwise, he will definitely be a troublemaker. King Huai sneered.
"Brother-in-law, I won't, I will definitely listen to the generals. Ninth master, don't look down on me, my father said, the Gu family is all Wenchen, if it weren't for the grandmother's disagreement, my father would also want to give up the pen and follow Rong. Gu Qinghong raised his head and said.
Abandon the pen from Rong? This Gu Yunxin had never heard of it, not only in this life, but even in her previous life, she had never heard her father have such thoughts. However, it's nothing if she didn't know in the previous life, who let her let the Feng family hurt her in the last life? A concubine who has no support, just an empty identity, who will tell you the truth.
"Father-in-law still thinks like this? However, I think that it is better for my father-in-law to teach the children of Xungui, and it is much harder to teach them to be human beings than to lead troops to fight. The prince said lightly.
