The prince's words were not approved by the courtiers. This kind of thing is naturally avoided if it can be avoided, and no matter who is sent, it is not a good thing.

If you can, then of course it is best to send a person who can best defeat the enemy with one move, everyone knows that life is not easy in times of war.

"Erchen thinks that sending Princess Zhao over is a good way!" Suddenly, two people walked in from outside the main hall. One was dressed in bright red and holding the iconic folding fan in his hand, and standing next to him was General Pingyuan, who was wearing a suit of armor.

Chengwang Chu Xun walked in with a fan, saluted the emperor, and then looked at the crown prince Chu Yu next to him.

"Second brother doesn't know, this Princess Zhao is not an ordinary person, this king remembers, that day in the martial arts arena, my archery skills lost to Princess Zhao!" Chu Xun smiled and looked at Gu Xici next to him.

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials present couldn't help but be in an uproar.

Who is the king? He has been in the military camp since he was sixteen years old, and since Princess Zhao has the ability to become a king, it is naturally not a problem to lead the troops to fight.

General Pingyuan stood beside her, looking at Gu Xici's eyes as if he was carrying a knife, eager to cut her with a thousand knives.

Gu Xici frowned, and before he could speak, Chu Yu spoke first: "Everyone in the world knows that Seventh Brother, you have no resistance to beauties, and it is not impossible to deliberately lose to Miss Gu during the competition." What's more, if you really win her, wouldn't it be good for you to spread this reputation of bullying? ”

Chu Xun had a smile on his face, and said with a fan: "What the second brother said is, but even so, this king still recommends that Princess Zhao go." Chu Xun explained: "First, Princess Zhao will not go with the army when she goes alone, which shows that we are going to peace talks; Second, even if it turns out later that this incident is just a misunderstanding, it can only show that Princess Zhao has a deep affection for King Zhao, and it will not affect our Da Chu at all. What do you think, Father? ”

The emperor listened to Chu Xun's words, and was very hesitant in his heart, "Xun'er is reasonable, but this ......"

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to go." The emperor still wanted to fight for Gu Xici, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to stand up and answer this errand.

"Xici, you ......" The emperor looked at the weak Gu Xici and shook his head, it was obvious that he didn't want Gu Xici to resign and take this risk.

"I'll go, I'm willing to go to Yue Liguo and rescue King Zhao." Gu Xici stood in front of the emperor and said firmly.

"Gu Xici, have you thought about it?" The Emperor frowned and asked again.

The civil and military officials present also focused their eyes on Gu Xici. They felt very strange that Gu Xici would take the initiative to leave the country, Chu Jin and her had not yet married, and now she was not a royal person at all, and Chu Jin was a medicine jar It is well known, everyone was not optimistic about Gu Xici's marriage with Chu Jin, and some people felt that if Chu Jin really couldn't come back this time, he would still save Gu Xici from the dire situation. But everyone didn't expect that Gu Xici would take the initiative to save him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also suggested that Princess Zhao go." General Pingyuan stood up and gave his opinion.

Gu Xici looked at General Pingyuan and sneered in his heart. He must have felt that this time the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, Gu Xi resigned, and Bacheng couldn't come back.

The emperor looked at the ministers below, and finally made a decision, "Okay, then let Gu Xi quit and go to Yue Liguo to find out the whereabouts of King Zhao." Xici, you have been preparing for the past two days, and you can mention it to me if you need anything. ”

"Your Majesty." Gu Xici kowtowed.

*

Gu Xici's carriage had just stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and someone immediately rushed out of the hall and smiled at her: "Ouch, our big hero is back, come and greet her!" ”

Immediately after, Gu Xici saw Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing walking out of the hall, while Li Mengyi was sitting on a chair next to the hall, looking at her with a smile.

Gu Xici didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned sideways and wanted to go back to his yard, but he didn't expect Gu Huaqing to block directly in front of her, and sneered: "Hey, what are you running?" When I think that we will not see each other soon, I really want to talk to you! ”

Gu Xi's grim gaze swept to the two people present, and finally stopped at Gu Huaqing, "It's the sedan chair you got on for me this morning, right?" ”

Gu Huaqing was frightened by her gaze, his face was a little pale, and he closed his mouth and stood aside.

"If it weren't for helping you idiot clean up this mess, you could see me every day. I don't care about you. Gu Xici stretched out his hand to push Gu Huaqing away, and just wanted to move forward, but he didn't expect two strong family members to appear and stop in front of her.

"Third Miss, please stay." It was Gu Wanqing who spoke, she stood in the distance and didn't come over, looked at Gu Huaqing with a smile, and said lightly: "Sister, you have been scolded by a fool for being stupid, you can still swallow this breath, you are really not an ordinary person." ”

After Gu Wanqing's reminder, Gu Huaqing reacted and was immediately angry. As if he couldn't even take his life, the whole person crashed directly towards the place where Gu Xici was, and directly fought with her to the death.

Just now, Gu Xici gave her a face in front of so many subordinates, and she couldn't swallow this breath. She also has to make Gu Xi resign in front of everyone to be ugly.

It's just that she underestimated Gu Xici's ability. Hearing a gust of wind in his ears, he saw Gu Xici turn slightly to one side, and Gu Huaqing directly bumped into the two family members who were originally in front of Gu Xici.

"It's such a big person, and I don't know where to look when I walk." Gu Xici sneered.

originally wanted to give Gu Xici a good look, but she didn't expect to be avoided by Gu Xici twice, and it made her ugly in turn. This fool, who is obviously inferior to her subordinates, actually did evil on her head, but she didn't have the slightest way.

Gu Huaqing was furious in his heart, pointed at Gu Xici, and rushed to Li Mengyi to complain: "Big lady, you see that Gu Xici is always targeting me, you have to say a fair word for me!" ”

Li Mengyi was watching the play with relish, but she didn't expect Gu Huaqing to bring fire to her, she was really stupid.

"Third girl, isn't Madame talking about you, look at you now, where is a little bit of a young lady? Didn't the master say that sisters should coexist peacefully. Li Mengyi pretended to say, "Qing'er, since Xici beat you just now, then you can go back." ”

Hearing Li Mengyi say this, Gu Huaqing's face was filled with a strange smile.

She stood proudly in front of Gu Xici, raised her hand and slapped Gu Xici's face.

Gu Xici dodged sideways.

I only heard a "pop", and a bright red palm print fell on Gu Huaqing's face.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening in front of them.

The person who raised his hand just now was Gu Huaqing, why was the bright red slap print at the end on Gu Huaqing's face, and Gu Xici next to him had an ordinary gaze, as if Gu Huaqing had not hurt her at all just now.

And that's exactly what happened.

Li Mengyi's eyes fell on the two family members standing in front of Gu Xici, but the other party was also confused, and he didn't see what happened just now.

Just when Gu Huaqing raised his hand, Gu Xici's body deviated to the side, and Gu Huaqing's slap directly returned to the air. Before she could come back to her senses, Gu Xici's slap also slapped her in the face.

Originally, Gu Huaqing's face was still filled with a smile that was about to take revenge, but at this moment, it was instantly replaced by surprise.

"There is a limit to people's patience, I have ignored you, and you have come to the door again and again to find fault. Since you're welcome, then I don't have to be polite to you. This slap is a lesson for you, I don't know the severity of today, I caused such a big disaster, and I lost Princess Zhao's face. Big lady, do you think I should slap this slap? Gu Xici said coldly, looking at Li Mengyi, who had not yet recovered in the distance.

"Ahem, what the third girl said is, come on, bring the second girl back to the room, and think about it." Li Mengyi looked at Gu Huaqing's uncompetitive appearance and couldn't help but shake her head.

Originally, he was still targeting Gu Xici's family, but now he left the hall with Gu Huaqing.

Seeing Gu Huaqing leaving, Li Mengyi also came to Gu Xici's face, and asked in a fake manner: "By the way, Xici, has the prince found it?" You didn't see it just now, we were in a hurry to hear the news, who would have thought that at such an important moment, the prince would be gone! What do you think that's the matter? ”

Gu Xici looked at her coldly, "Thank you Madame for your concern." ”

"Hey, family!" Li Mengyi smiled flatteringly, I don't know if I just saw Gu Xici's skills, and now I still have some lingering palpitations in my heart, "I originally wanted to let the second girl go up for you, so that people outside can't see that it's not, how could I have thought that she would suddenly run back, it's really more than enough to succeed!" It's good that you came back today to teach him a good lesson, otherwise I think she would really make a mess! ”

Seeing that Gu Xici didn't pay attention to him, Li Mengyi herself continued, "You say, if she loses her own face, it's okay, but she is embarrassed by your name!" And thou shalt not listen to what the people have said of thee because of this. ”

"Oh? What did they say about me? Gu Xici asked with a faint smile.

"It's just that Princess Zhao is ungrateful, she has abandoned everything from the beginning to the end, anyway, there are no good words! Not only that, but they also want you to go to Yue and leave the country to die, you say how dangerous it is for you to go! Li Mengyi pretended to be sad, and wiped away the tears with his sleeve.

"Yes, thank you, Madame, for worrying about me." Gu Xici nodded.

Li Mengyi looked at Gu Xici's appearance, the expression on her face didn't seem to be as indifferent as what she said, but it was a little terrifying, which made people feel a chill in their backs. Could it be that she knows everything?

She tried to maintain her calm, with an amiable appearance: "It should be, it should be!" ”

"If it's okay, I'll go back first, there are more things to pack." Gu Xici no longer looked at Li Mengyi, looked at her and nodded, turned around and left.

"Hey, be careful all the way!" Li Mengyi waved behind him, and after he couldn't see Gu Xici, he hurriedly ran to Gu Wanqing's side and asked worriedly, "She shouldn't know, right?" ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Gu Wanqing poured Li Mengyi a cup of tea and comforted.

"How can you rest assured! I saw that she had a look on her face as if she already knew, what if she told her father about it? Li Mengyi frowned and poured down a cup of tea.

"Daddy just came back, his face is so black, where do you still have the heart to care about these things? Today, Gu Xici's behavior has already made him angry! Gu Wanqing said.

After her reminder, Li Mengyi also remembered that when Gu Yuan came back just now, he really didn't say a word, turned around and went back to the room.

"Did you say that your father thinks that Gu Xici can't be this Princess Zhao, so he is very disappointed in her!" Li Mengyi said with a smile, "Qing'er, it looks like your good days are coming!" Without that nasty ghost, you're sure to have a smooth sailing future. ”

"This matter can't be decided so quickly, at least until Gu Xici comes back from there." Gu Wanqing took a sip of tea, and a smile appeared on her face again, "However, whether she can come back or not, it's not certain!" ”

*

Gu Xici hurriedly returned to his room and took out all the luggage he needed to bring with him when he left the country.

Xiaohong came in from outside, watched her pack her luggage, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Yue and leave the country to save Chu Jin." Gu Xi didn't raise his head, looked at the few clothes in front of him with some hesitation, and threw them into the duffel bag together, "Something?" ”

"Have you received a message from the valley master?" Xiaohong's face was puzzled, "Just now the valley master said that you should go to Yue Liguo to see him." ”

"Huh? Gu is going to see me in Yue Liguo? Gu Xici was a little puzzled. What is the valley lord going there to do at this time?

Xiaohong glanced at Gu Xici suspiciously, "You don't know that Mrs. Gu is leaving the country in Yue, right?" He goes there at this time of year to pay respects to his deceased wife, but this time he actually let you go there, which seems unusual! ”

Gu Xici frowned when she heard this, she didn't remember these things, but on the surface, she still smiled and said, "I just didn't expect him to meet me there, will you go with me this time?" ”

"Do you think I'm idle?" Xiaohong glanced at her and said coldly.

Gu Xi spread her hands, she didn't know what Xiaohong was busy with every day and night, but every time she asked, she said that she was very busy. Since someone else is her superior, she doesn't want to and is too lazy to ask so much.

Gu Xici has always hated meddling the most, but this time he had to take care of it, because that person was Chu Jin.

She had told herself many times that this time she went to save Chu Jin completely out of repaying her kindness. Chu Jin had helped her many times before, but this time Chu Jin had an accident, she definitely couldn't sit idly by.

But Gu Xici didn't notice that her devotion to Chu Jin seemed to surpass that of ordinary people.

Chu Jin's matter was done by people who left the country on the surface, but Gu Xici had a different idea in his heart.

Chu Jin has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and the emperor also loves him very much, and the people he protects by his side are the elite of the elite. Even if the Great Chu State has such a history, you have to stay alone in the room before the wedding, but you can break through the heavy guards of the Zhaowang Mansion and take away a person unconsciously, which is not possible for people who leave the country.

It was not so much that it was taken away by the people who left the country, but that it was the hands of the people in the Valley of the Netherworld.

From the beginning of Yue Liguo's entry into Dachu, there were only Luqiu Xie Lan and the few civil officials beside him, Gu Xici had seen it, and it could not pose any threat at all.

When she was in the paddock, she once saw Xiaohong and Luqiu Xie Lan together, if this was premeditated, then Yue left the country to negotiate this matter, it was a trap from beginning to end.
