Chapter 70: War Breaks Out
After such a thing happened, the palace banquet could only be canceled, and after Bai Xiyue came out of the Dragon Yin Palace, she didn't say a word, and got into the carriage in silence.
Gu Yichen thought that she probably felt a little wronged, but he didn't say anything comforting, because in his heart, as a qualified princess regent, she had to learn to face this, and it was useless to be too weak and incompetent.
However, Bai Xiyue didn't feel wronged, although she didn't suffer any harm today, but it also made her see the essence of the emperor clearly, she could be so partial to Prime Minister Zuo in front of so many people, and now that Zuo Yuer is married to a concubine, how can Prime Minister Zuo be willing.
If she said something to the emperor, wouldn't her father be in trouble, here she looked up at someone next to her who was closing her eyes and recuperating, can he really protect Baifu.
Gu Yichen felt her gaze, and thought that she wanted to talk about her grievances, but he thought about it and felt that he still had to comfort her, after all, it was a woman, and it was normal to be uncomfortable when she encountered such a thing.
But she didn't speak for a long time, he opened his eyes suspiciously, and found that Bai Xiyue fell asleep leaning on the carriage, her brows were still tightly locked, and she seemed to be very unstable in her sleep.
He picked up the blanket in the carriage, stood up, and gently covered her body, and was about to sit back when Bai Xiyue suddenly held his hand.
"Wei Yu!"
? Wei Yu, he frowned, who is this person, he is still reading his name when he sleeps, it seems that he is a very important person.
Bai Xiyue saw the figure of that person again in her dream, he hurriedly chased after him, closer and closer, closer and closer, and finally grabbed his hand, she called his name, and then pulled out the gun, and when she was about to do it, the person disappeared again.
Gu Yichen withdrew his hand, wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief, and threw it aside.
The carriage staggered back to the Regent's Palace, and when he was about to carry her down, he seemed to think of something, withdrew his hand, and went down by himself.
Later, it was Bai Tao who woke her up.
In the next few days, Gu Yichen seemed to be very busy, Bai Xiyue went to him several times to talk about paying more attention to Baifu, but they were all closed, Lin Mianmian was also sent away, and Huanwei's mother and son were also picked up by their families, and they left in the middle of the night, she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.
Bai Xiyue had to go to the embroidery room every day to ask about Lingshi, but there was no good news from the matchmaker, knowing that it was in southern Xinjiang, she even thought about going directly to southern Xinjiang to find it, but now this situation is not the time to leave at all, and how can Gu Yichen explain it.
She was wandering the streets boredly, "Ah! She accidentally bumped into someone, Bai Xiyue covered her head and apologized, and then prepared to leave.
"Princess Regent, you don't remember me." Gu Lingyu was very happy to see her.
When she heard a familiar voice, she looked up, and only then did she see that the person in front of her was Gu Lingyu.
"Prince!" She screamed in surprise, almost half a month has passed since the last incident, and when she sees him again this time, she is still a little unrecognizable.
"Princess Regent, thank you for breaking the siege last time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I was today, I wanted to go to the palace in person to thank you, but I was afraid of causing you any trouble, so I thought about strolling around the street to see if I could meet you, but I didn't expect to really meet you."
His tone was full of happiness when he spoke.
"Wait for me, is there something wrong!" She didn't take what happened last time to heart, it was not to save him, but to save herself.
"I want to invite you to sit in Tianxiangju, even if it is to repay the kindness of that day."
"Okay!"
The two went to Tianxiangju together, and the handsome men and beautiful women appeared together, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, but they were not watched for long, and they entered the upstairs room.
"I just saw you so distracted, did you encounter something, you might as well say it, maybe I can help."
After he sat down, he said with gentle care.
Bai Xiyue just smiled and shook her head, neither of the two things she was worried about could be solved by the prince, so what was the use of saying it.
Seeing that she didn't want to mention it, Gu Lingyu didn't discuss this topic anymore, and casually found some other things, and the two of them chatted with each other, and their anger was still harmonious.
Until the prince said: "By the way, it's not been peaceful recently, try not to leave Yuancheng, if there is anything important, if you want to go out, you must also bring more guards." ”
Bai Xiyue didn't pay attention to it at first, but just asked casually, "What's wrong, what's going on." ”
"There was a war on the border, the Yali and the Hu people joined forces to attack the city of Tianyuan Kingdom on the border, I heard that the losses were very heavy, and the emperor has recently prepared to send a new general to the border."
Hearing this, Bai Xiyue stopped picking up vegetables, and she asked uncertainly again: "You just said that there was a war at the border, so is the border very close to the southern border?" ”
Seeing her ask, the prince thought for a while and replied: "The southern border is also part of the border, and the place where the Yali and Hu people live can be said to be neighbors, but because the southern border is a special region, there are poisons everywhere. That's why they didn't invade the southern border. ”
"Lingju!" Bai Xiyue thought about it, if only he could go to the border, so that he could go to the south to find the spirit stone, what reason was that.
Gu Lingyu saw that she was distracted again, and thought that she was worried about the war, so he comforted her: "The regent will not go to the battlefield, so you don't have to worry about being left in Yuan City." ”
Regent! By the way, how could he forget Gu Yichen, if he went to the battlefield, then he wouldn't have a chance.
"Prince, I suddenly remembered that I still have some problems, thank you for inviting me to dinner, and I will leave first. ”
After she finished speaking, she left without waiting for Gu Lingyu to answer, and after she left, he took out a delicate box and said to himself: "I originally wanted to give it to you, but now it seems that I can only wait until next time." ”
After Bai Xiyue left Tianxiangju, she returned to the Regent Palace, she went straight to Linfeng Pavilion, she had lived in the palace for so long, she was already able to find her own way, she just went in and met Dark Six.
Bai Xiyue panted and asked, "Dark Six, the prince is not here." ”
Dark Six said expressionlessly: "The prince has just come back, and now he is talking to Doctor Lin in the study. ”
In this way, Bai Xiyue went to the study, went in without knocking on the door, and happened to see Lin Zi'an holding a map, talking to Gu Yichen.
"Xiyue, why are you here!" Lin Zi'an asked in surprise.
She was not in the mood to answer Lin Zi'an's words, she just looked at Gu Yichen and said, "Lord Wang, are you going to the battlefield!" ”
Her words are not a question, but an affirmation.
Hearing her ask, he was not very surprised, raised his head and replied, "This time I am ready to take back the military power." ”
"I'm going to the border with you!"
Bai Xiyue's tone was very serious, her round eyes looked at his mask fixedly.
"No way!" The first to stand up against Lin Zi'an was Lin Zi'an, who said angrily: "Don't you know what your body is like, and you have to go to such a dangerous place." ”
"I,"
"I'll let you go!" When Bai Xiyue just wanted to refute, Gu Yichen interrupted her.
Lin Zi'an naturally disagreed, and before he could speak, he heard the second half of the sentence.
"But there is one condition, I will send you to the army for a month of training, and if you can get out of there alive, then this king will take you to the border!"
After the last palace banquet, Gu Yichen had long wanted to teach her some martial arts to protect herself, but before she started to implement it, she received a message from Tianji Pavilion that there was a war on the border, and now is an excellent opportunity to regain military power.
Now that she has offered to go to the border, she must at least be able to come back alive, no matter how well she is protected, there will be times when she is negligent, so she can only become strong herself.
"Okay, I promise!" Without waiting for Lin Zi'an to refute, Bai Xiyue responded.
After she left, Lin Zi'an asked angrily: "Why did you promise her, do you know that her body can't accept high-intensity training at all." ”
"So what! Just watch her die, once I go to the frontier, do you think it's safe to leave her in Yuancheng by herself, if she wants to go to the battlefield, she must be able to protect herself, now is the best way. ”
Lin Zi'an wilted in an instant, and had to admit this matter, leaving Bai Xiyue alone in the city was only a dead end, but it was a good way to take it to the frontier.
Gu Yichen tapped the table with his wrench, thoughtfully, before leaving, he would also send people from Tianji Pavilion to keep an eye on the safety of Baifu.
"What! Princess, you're going to the army. "White Peach and White Frost were taken aback at the same time.
"Why are you so surprised, what's wrong with me going to the army." Bai Xiyue couldn't understand their reaction.
"But, Princess, you are not very good now, why do you have to go to the army! ”
Bai Tao asked suspiciously.
Bai Xiyue told them what happened today.
After hearing this, they all supported her decision, and Bai Shuang even wanted to learn martial arts from Bai Tao, lest she be held hostage like the last time the princess got married, and Bai Tao was also affected.
On the second day, Bai Xiyue also went out, went to Xiufang and Baihualou, explained to the matchmaker and rouge, and asked them to take care of themselves, and she will not come again for a month.
When they asked what the reason was, Bai Xiyue didn't say anything.
When she left the embroidery room, Qiu Wen also gave her a peace charm, because she had already brought a peace charm from the previous Prime Minister Bai Cheng in Xiangguo Temple in her neck, so she put this one into the purse she carried with her.
Only two days later, the war on the frontier spread to Yuancheng, the Tianyuan Kingdom was defeated and retreated, and the people near the border were homeless and lived near Yuancheng, they did not have enough food and clothing, so there were many thefts.
This only let the people know about the war, and for a while the people in Yuancheng were panicked, and things came to this point, and the emperor could no longer whitewash the peace.
Just when he hesitated to appoint who to appoint as the general, the second prince stood up and took the initiative to ask for help, and wanted to go to the battlefield, the emperor was deeply moved, so he sent the eldest grandson of General Wei, Wei Qing, as the deputy general, to assist the second prince and recover the city.
