Gu Yunxin and the others returned to the pass of the Great Zhou, and the person who came to patrol the post that day was General Xu, and he saw the carriage driven by Mo Feng at a glance.

"Mo Guard, why are you still here, we have all come back from work, and the emperor has rewarded a lot of good things. Is the prince there? General Xu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mo Feng's face sank, Lord Wang? What do they want to say, do they say that the prince was assassinated and fell off the cliff, and his life and death are unknown? As for why it appeared here, it was because the Emperor of Beiliang coveted the beauty of the princess and took the princess to the Beiliang Palace?

Isn't saying this an opportunity to criticize the prince and princess?

Just when Mo Feng was in a dilemma, Gu Yunxin opened the curtain with one hand, "General Xu has always been good. ”

"The princess is fine, I am also fine, the things that the emperor has rewarded are all thanks to the prince, and we all want to thank the prince." General Xu hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Originally, it was the credit of the soldiers of the whole army, how could the prince be greedy for merit alone." Gu Yunxin said softly.

"Then thank you Lord and Princess." General Xu said with a smile.

"You're welcome, then the concubine will leave first." Gu Yunxin bowed slightly.

The carriage drove again, and Mo Feng didn't dare to stay longer, although this was the territory of the Great Zhou, who knew if Dugu Che would suddenly regret it and take the princess away again?

It would be different if you returned to Kyoto, the Rui Palace, which was full of masters, and it was not easy to kidnap people from it.

The carriage drove steadily all the way for a day until it reached a town with boats.

"Mo Feng, let's change the waterway, the carriage is too slow." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Yes, my subordinates are going to charter a boat." Mo Feng arched his hand.

Gu Yunxin was still waiting in the carriage, Mo Feng went to pick a ship, at least to the next port, when the time came, they could also change to a bigger boat from Jiangnan all the way to a place not far from Kyoto, which was indeed much more time-saving and labor-saving than taking a carriage.

The journey was very smooth, and when he was about to return to Kyoto, Gu Yunxin made a decision, that is, to enter the palace to face the saint and tell the emperor the bad news.

If King Rui is really fine, then he has already come back to find her now, there is no news for a long time, Gu Yunxin naturally wants to give everyone an explanation.

Back in Kyoto, Gu Yunxin went home and changed into a plain white dress, and then took Hongxuan and Hongling into the palace.

In the imperial study, when the emperor saw Gu Yunxin, his mood also plummeted, how he hoped to see his favorite son by Gu Yunxin's side.

"Yun Xin, you are pregnant, don't salute, tell me, what happened to you, how could Yi'er ......" the emperor said in a deep voice.

"Ask my father to avenge the prince." Gu Yunxin knelt on the ground and said.

"I will definitely not let go of those who have hurt Yi'er, do you have any clues, I will send someone to investigate." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Father, the courtiers and daughters-in-law suspect that the person who hurt the prince was sent by the king."

It's not that the emperor hasn't thought about this answer, it's just that everything must have evidence, if there is no evidence, then even if it blocks the mouths of the courtiers, it can't block the mouths of the people of the world.

"The daughter-in-law didn't, but when the daughter-in-law was kidnapped in Beiliang, she overheard Dugu Che talking to someone, he said, King Ding and the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion are in a hurry to jump off the wall, worried that after the prince returns, his father will change the position of the crown prince, so he ......"

"You mean, you heard Dugu Che say that?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, and the daughter-in-law is sure that the people who have always sent the border pass defense map to Beiliang and burned the grain and grass were all done by King Ding and the Marquis of Ning's mansion." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Girl, I also suspected them, but there is no evidence."

"Father, my daughter-in-law saw the person who met Dugu Che in Beiliang, I don't know if it can be used as evidence?" Gu Yunxin asked.

"Did that person just meet Dugu Che? It's not easy to do this, how can Dugu Che come forward to testify! The Emperor frowned.

Suddenly, Gu Yunxin thought of the events of that day, in addition to Dugu Che, there was also a middle-aged man who was an ordinary wealthy businessman.

That man was supposed to be the one who helped get the message across. It is also common for countries to plant spies in other countries, but I don't know what the identity of that person is and where he hides it!

"Father, the courtiers and daughters-in-law are courageous, borrowing the pen and ink of the father." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"It's okay, you can use it as you like!" The Emperor said loudly.

Gu Yunxin bowed, and then walked to the desk, thought for a moment, and then drew a portrait on the paper.

The people in the painting are mediocre in appearance, and they belong to the kind of people who can't be found if they are thrown in the pile. Fortunately, this man has a characteristic of having a soybean-sized sarcoma on his nose and under the left corner of his eye.

Gu Yunxin believed that if he could see this person again, he would definitely be able to recognize it.

The emperor took the portrait from Gu Yunxin's hand, and then said in a deep voice: Come out, according to the portrait, find out this person. ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in a black suit appeared in the imperial study, Gu Yunxin recognized this person, he was one of the people who escorted him to the border gate.

The man bowed slightly towards Gu Yunxin, except for the emperor, no one else was his master, so naturally he didn't need to salute. As for Gu Yunxin, he admired this woman from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man held the portrait and disappeared in an instant.

Gu Yunxin was not surprised by this, if the shadow guards around the emperor didn't even have this ability, they wouldn't be worthy of serving the emperor.

On the way back to the palace and Rui Wangfu, Gu Yunxin was silent, and Hongqi and Hongling were very worried when they saw this.

The carriage stopped, Gu Yunxin walked to the door, and Yun Zheng appeared in front of Gu Yunxin.

"Princess, is your journey smooth?" Yun Zheng said worriedly.

"It's okay, let's go back to the house about other things!" After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin stepped in.

When they came to the front hall, the maidservants served tea separately, "Yun Zheng, do you believe that the prince is dead?" Gu Yunxin suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Yun Zheng was slightly stunned, and then said: "I naturally don't believe it, that guy's vitality is so tenacious, he was hit by several arrows in his body back then, and when he met him, he was only one percent sure of life, isn't he all right?" He must be hiding somewhere now, recuperating from his injuries, but he can't contact us for the time being. ”

"Well, I'm a firm believer in that, too." Gu Yunxin said firmly.

Seeing this, Hongling and Hongxuan couldn't help but secretly shed tears, the people of their Netherworld Pavilion searched for many days without results, if there were clues, they would have taken the prince back a long time ago, can they still see the master secretly crying?

Well, just give the master a little thought, so that for the master, there may be hope.

"Don't worry, he'll be back. You sit down first, and I'll check your pulse. Yun Zheng said lightly.

"Okay." Gu Yunxin did as he was told.

After a while, Yun Zheng withdrew his hand, "It's okay, I still have to take the medicine I gave you, rest more, be careful not to be too excited, you are a month old now, and if you are too excited, you will be born prematurely." ”

"yes, I see." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"I live in the Ruyun Inn near the palace, if there is anything, let people go to the inn to find me." With that, he got up and left.

"Guest house? Why is that? The prince of Xiyuan in the palace has always let you live? Gu Yunxin wondered.

"The prince is not in the palace now, if I continue to live in the mansion, I will definitely leave a handle, in short, as long as I don't live in the palace, there is something to do, it is more convenient for me to do it." Yun Zheng said lightly.

"Then don't stay in a guest house, find a yard nearby, or buy or rent it." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Well, I see, I've identified the place, and I'll send someone to inform you." After finishing speaking, Yun Zheng walked away.

The next day, in the early dynasty, King Ding and others once again mentioned the fact that King Rui did not return to Beijing. Soon, the news of Rui Wang's death in a surprise attack spread to every corner of Kyoto.

The emperor was so distressed that he dropped out of the dynasty for three days, and the whole of Kyoto was covered with white silk. There was even more dead silence in the Rui Wang's Mansion.

Because he couldn't find King Rui's body, Gu Yunxin ordered someone to put the clothes that King Rui wore on weekdays in the coffin.

According to the custom of the Great Zhou, if someone dies in the family, it is necessary to stop the spirit for seven days before you can choose a good feng shui treasure place for burial.

As the prince of the Great Zhou, King Rui has to act in accordance with customs, and the emperor's grace posthumously crowned King Rui as the crown prince, which makes the current prince very dissatisfied.

Isn't it a slap in the face to let a dead man compete with him for the crown prince? Doesn't this tell the people of the world that he, the prince, is not worthy of the position?

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to argue with the emperor, and Shen Guogong also persuaded him, after all, it was a posthumous posthumous seal, and it was no big deal, so the prince gave up.

King Rui died, and all the officials in the court and the central government had to come to the palace to mourn, and Gu Yunxin, as the princess, naturally had to stay in front of the spirit.

"The king of Xiangyang, the princess of Xiangyang are in ......" As the little maid outside the door sang, the king and the princess of Xiangyang walked in with the little prince and dressed in plain clothes.

The king and princess of Xiangyang, as a result, the butler handed over the incense, bowed to the spiritual seat of King Rui, and inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then, Gu Yunxin bowed his knees as a return gift.

"Sister, you have to take care of yourself." Zhan Xinyue worried.

"Sister, I'm fine. I want to take care of this family for the prince, we still have children. Gu Yunxin gently stroked the bulging lower abdomen.

"Well, otherwise, you can come and stay with you for a few days." Zhan Xinyue said lightly.

"There are a lot of things in your house, and the prince is still young, so he needs your care." Gu Yunxin excused.

She must learn to be strong on her own, and she can't rely on others to help her out of everything. Just like now, without King Rui by her side, the entire palace will depend on her to maintain it.

"Dingwang, Dingwang, Dingwang's side concubine to ......"

With the singing of the little guy again, everyone's eyes looked at the gate, King Ding was wearing a dark red robe, and Princess Ding and Concubine Xiao Sirui appeared in front of everyone in gorgeous clothes.

"King Ding, today you are doing white things for the fifth brother, why are you dressed so ostentatious?" King Huai said angrily.

"I said Lao Jiu, your backers have fallen, and you are still here to be courteous. Don't you think your fifth sister-in-law can still take care of you? King Ding sneered.
