Chapter 306: Ordered to return to Beijing

Originally, when Gu Yunxin and King Rui were about to continue the investigation, they suddenly received an edict from the emperor of Kyoto, asking them to return to Beijing as soon as possible, because the princess and prince of the Wuhuan clan were about to come to Kyoto.

It is said that the Wuhuan tribe was originally a strong nation, they were good at riding and shooting, but unfortunately because of the competition with other tribes for territory, their own people were killed and injured a lot, and finally asked for help from the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou Emperor sent troops to help the Wuhuan tribe quell the chaos, and since then, Wuhuan will always surrender to the Great Zhou.

However, this generation of Wuhuan King gradually has the intention of setting up his own door, but the god of war who is afraid of the Great Zhou does not dare to act rashly.

Of course, although Gu Yunxin had heard of such things, he didn't know anything in detail, and most of them were told to him by King Rui on the way back to Kyoto.

"Lord Wang, the prince and princess of the Wuhuan clan came together this time, I'm afraid there is something." Gu Yunxin frowned slightly.

"I said I came to offer treasures."

"Offering treasures? I think the offering of treasure is secondary, and the purpose is to make peace with each other. ”

"And pro? How could the lady think that? "King Rui is so tidy.

"You said that the Wuhuan clan surrendered to the Great Zhou in order to thank the emperor for sending troops to help them, but the current Wuhuan King already has the idea of getting out of control, so ah, this time they can be said to be using the name of offering treasures to explore the reality of the Great Zhou, and moreover, they sent the princess and the prince to come, and they also wanted to make peace."

"And pro? Didn't the sad and pro-relatives before all be messed up? Both daughters were married to the sons of courtiers. King Rui smiled lightly.

"The Wuhuan clan is different, what Bei Liang and his relatives want is to spy on the military situation and then annex the Great Zhou, Wuhuan doesn't dare to do anything to the Great Zhou now, but the tribes around him are different." Gu Yun smiled in his heart.

"Hehehe, she is worthy of the woman I like, she is really smart, then let's go back to Beijing together to see the excitement." After finishing speaking, King Rui took Gu Yunxin into his arms.

Because they were in a hurry, Rui Wang and his party had to prepare to change the carriage to a boat when they arrived in a city where there were ships, so that they could arrive in Kyoto earlier.

At night, the boat was drifting on the sea, Gu Yunxin also stayed on it for the second time, the first time he took a boat, or in the previous life, the Xiao family wanted to support the current King Xiang to ascend the throne, and their private soldiers were about to be exterminated, it was Xiao Ziming who lied to her that it was the emperor who wanted to kill them in the Zhenguo Mansion.

For this reason, she also dared to go to the place where the Zhenguo Gong military camp was stationed overnight, but she didn't want to be poisoned because of her stupidity.

And after his maternal grandfather and uncle were killed, their heads were cut off, and in the end, they had to bear the infamy of plotting to usurp the throne.

In the end, the new emperor ascended the throne, and all the military power that originally belonged to Zhenguo Gong fell into the hands of Xiao Ziming, of course, she, the person who knew all the secrets, would not stay after all.

It was night, everyone was already asleep, Gu Yunxin came to the bow of the boat alone, the sea breeze was blowing, and the coolness was reminding her of the pain of her previous life.

"How can you blow the wind here alone? What if you catch a cold? A warm voice said.

Then, the other party put the cloak on his body, Gu Yunxin turned his head and saw Yun Zheng's smiling face, "Haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I haven't rested on the boat, I'm not used to it." Yun Zheng said softly.

"Me too." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.

She didn't want to talk too much to Yun Zheng, not because she didn't trust him, but because she didn't want to cause trouble for him.

"It's not early, you go back and rest a little, and wait for tomorrow when the ship docks, yes."

Eat something delicious in a nearby town. ”

"Okay."

After Gu Yunxin returned to the cabin, he saw that King Rui was still asleep, maybe he was so tired these days that he didn't even notice that he had gone out.

"Where did the lady go late at night?" King Rui lay on the bed and looked at Gu Yun for a long time.

This guy actually pretended to be asleep, and he knew that he had gone to the bow of the boat and chatted with Yun Zheng, so when he interrogated like this, could it be that he didn't trust himself?

"Doesn't the prince already know? What do you ask me to do? Gu Yunxin took off his cloak and hung it on the screen.

"The lady is not used to being on the boat, is she?"

"Hmm."

"Well, let's take the road from tomorrow, it's not too far from Kyoto." Rui Wang said lightly.

"It's better not to, since it's my father who has passed the news, I have to go back quickly, if it's late, won't I be criticized again?"

Gu Yunxin knows very well the situation of King Rui in the court now, he is a high-ranking prince, the emperor's most beloved son, holding military power, I don't know how many people are jealous.

If the prince and princess of the Wuhuan clan came to visit this time, and they couldn't be there, wouldn't it give others the opportunity to take everything away from him?

Even if he has no military power and becomes an idle prince, how can those enemies easily let him go? Therefore, Gu Yunxin would not let such a thing happen to King Rui.

In the last life, she always listened to Xiao Ziming's words, and felt that King Xiang was the royal blood of the main palace, so she should let King Xiang be the emperor, but this was not a good choice for a country.

Moreover, she still remembered that after King Xiang ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao gave death to all the concubines in the harem who had princes, saying that it was a funeral.

Of course, none of those princes were spared from being given poisoned wine and died, and I still remember that the youngest prince was the seventeenth prince who was just over a year old, and was born to the emperor's concubine.

And in this life, Gu Yunxin will no longer be confused, choosing a virtuous emperor is responsible for the people.

After three days of drifting on the sea, in the early morning of the fourth day, Rui Wang and his party arrived at the coast of Kyoto.

As soon as he got off the boat, an official came to greet him, "The next official will see the prince and the princess." ”

"Lord Lu, how do you know that this king is back today? Still waiting here? "King Rui is so tidy.

"The lower officials have been ordered by the emperor and are here to wait for the prince and the princess." Lord Lu smiled and said.

"Oh? Is it? Then please follow the king back to the palace, and after the king and the princess change their clothes, they will enter the palace to meet their father. King Rui said lightly.

"Alas, my lord, the emperor said that when I see you, I will go directly to the palace, and I don't need to change my clothes." Lord Lu spoke up to stop him.

After following Lord Lu to the shore, a carriage stopped aside, "Lord and Princess, please." Lord Lu made a gesture of please.

King Rui still uses the carriage on martial arts, the carriage is very spacious, and it is the specification used by the royal family, but this Lord Lu is just a small Hanlin Academy, how can this work be assigned to him?

"Lady, it seems that someone wants to invite you into the urn." King Rui's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Well, then you already have a countermeasure?" Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Naturally, there is, but I don't know, this matter was done by the queen or by the concubine."

"What does it matter, won't we know when we enter the palace?" Gu Yun

Xin smiled lightly.

This life is really tiring enough, originally she only thought about revenge, but she didn't expect so many things to be involved.

Moreover, there are many things that have not happened in the previous life, or rather, things have happened, but she doesn't know it.

The carriage drove all the way into the palace, and when the carriage got off, it turned out to be the emperor's bedroom.

Seeing this, the little eunuch at the door hurriedly ran forward, "Lord, princess, the emperor is waiting for the two, let's go in with the slaves." ”

"Where's Grandpa Zhang?" Gu Yunxin wondered.

The people who serve by the emperor's side on weekdays are Zhang Qing, and he is not seen today, and this little eunuch is also very angry. There was a strange smell throughout the palace.

"Master, I'm afraid this is a trap." Gu Yunxin said worriedly.

"Well, it's very likely that my father was put under house arrest by them." King Rui frowned slightly.

What the? House arrest of the emperor? How powerful it must be to do this, but at the moment it is impossible for them to leave again.

However, it's good to go in and meet the emperor, at least to know if the emperor is safe.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin walked to King Rui's side, "On weekdays, it is the concubine who pushes the prince to visit the garden, so you can let it go." ”

"Then there is Princess Lao." The little eunuch said softly.

When he entered the palace, he saw Zhang Qing standing on the edge of the bed with a sad face, and he was very surprised to see King Rui and Gu Yunxin, "Lord, princess, why did you enter the palace?" ”

"Father-in-law Zhang, it's Lord Lu of the Hanlin Academy, who is waiting for us on the shore, saying that my father is in a hurry to see us." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Prince, princess, the emperor is not in good health now, how can he be in such a hurry to announce the summoning." Zhang Qing frowned slightly.

In fact, Zhang Qing has already figured out in his heart that someone deliberately deceived King Rui and the princess into the palace, but what was their intention in tricking these two people into the palace?

"Father-in-law Zhang, is that an edict from my father to let the prince rush back?"

"The edict was written by the emperor, because the princes and princesses of the Wuhuan clan will come to the Great Zhou to present treasures."

"In that case, how long has my father been sick?" Gu Yunxin looked at the emperor lying on the bed and said worriedly.

Now the emperor is still there, he can protect the safety of King Rui, if the emperor suddenly dies, this does not set up a prince, then King Xiang and King Ding are bound to compete for the throne, and in this competition, the other princes have become the object of the two sides, once the pull is not successful, it is bound to be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He turned his head to look at King Rui and saw that he was thinking about something.

"Gonggong Zhang......" Before King Rui's words came out, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then saw Queen Xiao walking in with King Xiang.

Empress Xiao glanced at the emperor lying on the bed, and regardless of her identity, she knelt directly beside the bed of the royal family, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The concubine also just found out that you were sick, which really worries the concubine. ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law is also worried. Father-in-law Zhang, can you ask the imperial doctor to see it? ”

"I called in the imperial doctor, but none of them could see the symptoms." Zhang Qing said worriedly.

"If it is, it would be good if Yun Zheng from the Fifth Brother's Mansion was here, he is a medical saint, with him, my father will definitely be safe." King Xiang said lightly.

However, at the same time, as soon as the other people in the Rui King's Mansion entered the gate, they were tracked down by a group of men in black......
