Su Jinyao's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability and gloom, she really didn't expect that a good prince like Gu Xuebin, a prince who was dedicated to the people, would now be far away from the capital.

Could it be the ghost of the Four Princes?

Any small expression of Su Jinyao was seen by Gu Xuebin, he took a spoonful of porridge, slowly sent it to Su Jinyao's mouth, and said softly: "Jinyao, it's okay to stay away from the capital." We can graze and hunt in Mobei, horse racing and eagle hunting, which is better than intrigue in the capital. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "But I don't understand, is it really out of his intention that my father suddenly made such a decision?" ”

"Even if it's not, now that the holy decree has been issued, let's obey our father's wishes." Gu Xuebin sent another spoonful of porridge to Su Jinyao's mouth and said, "Eat well, you have lost a lot of weight these days." ”

"That's not right." Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin's hand away and said, "Could it be that the father is trying to convey something to us?" Or was someone coercing my father to do this? ”

Gu Xuebin listened to Su Jinyao's words, frowned, and said: "After you leave the capital, except for the imperial grandmother, the queen is the queen, and there are only nine and ten sisters around the queen, they can't be the ones who do this kind of thing." ”

Since the second prince became King Qingfan, the only person who still threatens Gu Xuebin in the palace is the third prince.

However, because of his marriage to Tianzeguo, the third prince had followed Gu Xuebin to the border and was left there. He didn't dare to run back to the capital halfway like Gu Xuebin.

Su Jinyao knocked on her brain and said, "But there is still a fourth prince." He was so young, he probably didn't have this kind of thought. ”

Gu Xuebin couldn't help but smile after listening to Su Jinyao's analysis, and said, "The fourth brother is indeed still young. If you doubt him, you might as well doubt the nobles. ”

Yu Gui people! Su Jinyao was clever, grabbed Gu Xuebin's hand and said, "Yugui has received permission from his father to go out of Beijing to give Princess Moma a ride." It was just after I left Beijing, at the end of the month. If that's the case......"

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin glanced at each other, and they both found it hard to believe this speculation. But it turns out that if the Yugui people also leave, the only object that can be suspected in the palace is really the four princes.

But how capable would such a little kid be? Or is it who he unites?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said anxiously: "I remember, the fourth prince once joined forces with the queen and did a bad thing to his father. Could it be that we all underestimate this little child? ”

"What exactly is his intention?" Gu Xuebin muttered to himself, obviously a little confused.

Su Jinyao shook Gu Xuebin's arm and said, "No, we'll go back to the capital now." I don't think it's going to be that simple. ”

"Jin Yao." Gu Xuebin pressed Su Jinyao's hand down again and said, "You remember, no one or anything is as important to me as you are. Now you just have to take care of yourself and heal your own wounds. The capital always has to go back, but once your injury is delayed......"

"Do you care?" Su Jinyao suddenly asked, "Do you care that I will become crippled?" ”

"Jinyao, how could I care about this." Gu Xuebin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No matter what you become, I just want you." ”

"Then we'll go back now. My leg can be healed slowly, but I can't wait. Su Jinyao said and tried to get up.

But before she could stand up, Gu Xuebin pushed her back and said loudly, "Jinyao, do you trust me?"

”

"Huh?" Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, Gu Xuebin had never spoken out loud to her like this.

Gu Xuebin still said loudly and insistently: "If you trust me, you should understand that I have no deception about your intentions. So you have to remember my words, nothing is important to you, I don't care about that empty position. ”

After taking a breath, Gu Xuebin's tone softened, and then he said slowly: "I used to hesitate back then, whether I should go back to the capital or stay in Pingshan Village to be with you. And one of the reasons why I wanted to leave you at that time was that my mother's death was unknown, and as a son, I had to find out about it. Another reason is that I see that you are not an ordinary woman, and if I cannot stand on a high place, I am afraid that I will blaspheme you and will not be able to match you. But now, you and I already know the truth about my mother's death, and there is no need to pursue it. As for the second one, you are already my wife and my crown princess, and I am satisfied with having you, do you care about anything else? ”

Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xuebin's eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, she asked softly, "So, you don't regret losing the position of prince, do you?" ”

"Never regret it." Gu Xuebin put down the bowl in his hand, hugged Su Jinyao into his arms, and said, "I regret a little that I left Pingshan Village and separated from you for so long. I don't want to experience that feeling of missing day and night, and having trouble sleeping and eating. ”

"Okay. I stayed with peace of mind and healed my foot injury before leaving. Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin distanced themselves a little, gently held his handsome face, and said affectionately to his eyes: "Even if I don't be the prince and the princess, I can hold your hand and go all the way with you to Baitou, I will be satisfied." ”

"Fool, you don't have to go, I'll hold you too." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he kissed Su Jinyao lightly on the forehead.

No more entanglements, whether it is the capital or the throne, whoever loves it will be what it is.

Su Jinyao and the newly promoted Anping Beihou Gu Xuebin are ready to live that free and easy life.

In the past, Su Jinyao had envied Helian Ruo and Cang Lanshuo, but now before returning to the capital to pack up her things and leave, Su Jinyao still wanted to go to Helian Luo's house and show her comfortable life with Helian Ruo.

If you don't want to, you're just! When the mind is settled, there is nothing else to ask for.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin regard each other as the ultimate belongings of their hearts, and now they are full of happiness.

In the next two days, Su Jinyao prescribed herself a prescription, prepared a recipe for medicinal diet, and exercised diligently, so that her physique recovered quickly.

Then Su Jinyao hurried up to perform a second operation on herself, re-cut the wound that was not very good, and then repaired and connected the Achilles tendon that was stitched by Gu Xuebin in a hurry.

The wound had been blistered for too long, so it never recovered well, and now it has become a blessing in disguise.

When Mr. Cheng was an assistant to Su Jinyao, he also said: "Fortunately, it has not completely healed in the past ten days, otherwise the sin will be even greater." ”

Su Jinyao is satisfied with the results of this operation, the only bad thing is that her left foot is always unconscious.

However, Su Jinyao gave herself a good examination after the operation and found that the lack of sensation in her left foot was not a problem with the Achilles tendon and wound, but a problem with the tactile nerve.

I can't be angry for my master

Su Jinyao and Mr. Cheng have studied their own tactile nerve failure, Mr. Cheng is not proficient in trauma and surgery, but he is still relatively accomplished in other medical disciplines such as internal medicine.

Therefore, he and Su Jinyao analyzed several possible reasons for the failure of the tactile nerve, and finally believed that there were two reasons.

For one, it can be a side effect of the powerful supplements of the silverwinged bee. The second is that when the Divine Gu King bit Su Jinyao at the end, he released an excessive amount of toxin.

The reason why only the left foot lost sensation may be because of the injury in this foot, which slowed down nerve conduction; Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Of course, Su Jinyao hopes that no matter what the situation is, it will slowly reduce with the recovery of the foot injury, and finally it will heal itself without medicine.

But the most feared thing is that the nerves have been destroyed, so it is too difficult to restore the sensory function of the nerves.

Everything is still recovering, and Su Jinyao doesn't dare to have too many expectations. However, as soon as the five-day time came, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin still embarked on the road back to the capital.

If you always have to go back, why waste your time outside? No matter what awaits them in the capital, it is still their former home after all.

Originally, Gu Xuebin prepared a carriage. The inside of the car is covered with thick cushions, and if you walk slowly, Su Jinyao will be much more comfortable sitting in it.

But Su Jinyao insisted on riding a horse, and she rode a horse by herself, instead of riding with Gu Xuebin.

Gu Xuebin objected: "Jin Yao, you can't use force with your foot injury, how can you control the direction of the horse smoothly?" ”

"Is it that my feet have been like this, and I will not be able to ride a horse for the rest of my life?" Su Jinyao asked rhetorically, looking very resolute.

Helplessly, Gu Xuebin agreed to Su Jinyao riding a horse on the road, but the condition was that the speed must be within the range he allowed. In addition, there is a limit to the time you can travel every day, so you can't go back day and night without sleep.

Of course, Mo and Aning also accompanied them on horseback. Aning has recovered well from the rib fracture injury, and he can already exercise normally.

Mo didn't have much serious internal injuries, that is, the two fractures of his right arm were not healed, but he didn't listen to the splint when he clamped it, but he just wrapped the bandage a little tighter and was about to go on the road.

And the disobedient are not only indifferent, Gu Xuebin has not fully recovered from his internal injuries. But he only asked Mr. Cheng to examine and treat him, and he didn't let Su Jinyao ask at all.

So when Gu Xuebin proposed to limit the itinerary and speed, Su Jinyao readily agreed.

When they came out, there were more than 1,000 people, and when they returned, there were only a few dozen people left. But because of Gu Xuebin by her side, Su Jinyao was very happy.

Along the way, the two kept planning for the future, such as whether to buy a house or build it themselves after arriving in Mobei, and discussed that they must take their uncle over to live.

After walking for three days, Su Jinyao suddenly received news from Qiu Ying that she would take someone to arrive tomorrow to meet Su Jinyao.

Sure enough, the next day, Autumn Shadow came, along with dozens of dead soldiers. Of course, Mu Qingyu's follow-up is also indispensable.

Autumn Shadow looks in good spirits and complexion, worthy of being a woman in love, and even her eyes seem to be shining.

Qiu Ying also brought a letter written by Jinmei, and asked for a secret conversation with Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao read the letter first. Jinmei meant that the fact that the prince was demoted was already known to the world, and asked Su Jinyao if she had any action.

And Jinmei also

said that she had contacted Ma Liu and calculated all the properties in Su Jinyao's name. The amount of financial resources that can be mobilized is a huge and staggering number, if Su Jinyao has any special ideas, Jinmei and Ma Liu will implement them immediately.

Qiu Ying also said: "I have issued a secret order and started to recruit people from the rivers and lakes. As long as the master gives an order, at least more than 20,000 people can be mobilized on the rivers and lakes. ”

The 20,000 people on the rivers and lakes are not an exaggeration to say that they can be worth 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, and asked Qiu Ying: "Do you and Jinmei and Ma Liu mean that I should lead people to besiege the capital, directly force the palace, and put Gu Xuebin on the throne?" ”

Autumn Shadow didn't answer, but she didn't deny it either. It can be seen that they have made preparations in private, and they are really waiting for Su Jinyao's meaning.

Su Jinyao read the letter in her hand again, then took out the fire fold and lit it and burned it out.

Then Su Jinyao looked up at Qiu Ying and asked, "Then do you mean to assist me or coerce me?" ”

"Master......" Qiu Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The master is kind to me, Jinmei and Ma Liu, how dare we coerce the master." ”

Su Jinyao asked: "Then what to do is of course according to my meaning, I haven't given you an order yet, and you have already started to prepare?" ”

"We are angry for our master." Autumn Shadow lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said, "We know that the master is going south to provide disaster relief. How many people did the master save along the way, how many payments did he give, and how much suffering did he endure? In the end, he was in danger. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't arrived, who would have been by the master's side? But the emperor belittled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a piece of holy edict, isn't it too unfair? Is it wrong for husband and wife to be of the same mind and share weal and woe? ”

"Fairness and unfairness are Gu Xuebin's thoughts. He doesn't care, why should I force him to be the prince? Su Jinyao's tone calmed down a little and said, "And this time we will return to Beijing to investigate this matter clearly." You can't just raise the flag and rebel if there is no basis for it. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Qiu Ying stopped talking.

Su Jinyao pulled Qiu Ying up and said, "I know that you are afraid that I will be bullied, and you have planned to help me get angry." Actually, you are doing a good job, so you are also prepared. Then arrange it this way, you wait for my orders, and when I raise my arms, you can respond to every call. ”

"Yes." Qiu Ying nodded, and said, "However, Jinmei also said that if the master really wants to go to Mobei, she also wants to accompany her." ”

"What is she doing in Mobei?" Su Jinyao thinks that Jinmei can't fight with eight strokes in this matter, right?

Qiu Ying said: "Jinmei said that she wanted to do business. It is said that there are Hu merchants over there, and they can trade some scarce things back. Later, a trade route will be opened. ”

That's a good idea. There is no fixed trade route in the Cloud Dome Country, and the caravans and merchants themselves go wherever they see business.

If several routes along the border can be planned in a unified manner, it will not only be a potential business, but also a dense intelligence network.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao asked Qiu Ying to send back the news, if they really went to Mobei, let Jinmei come over to meet.

After agreeing, Su Jinyao also specially instructed Qiu Ying not to reveal what she had just said.

Su Jinyao couldn't tell Gu Xuebin either, saying that she had prepared people to prepare to force the palace.

Ask Gu Xuebin's bottom line

With the addition of Qiu Ying and Mu Qingyu, the team has grown a little stronger. More than 100 people are not in a hurry, and it is quite lively to travel in the mountains and rivers.

It is estimated that no one would have thought that a degraded prince would still be in such a good mood.

However, there is always a day when the destination arrives, and it is getting closer and closer to the capital. Su Jinyao has also begun to arrange.

First of all, let Autumn Shadow disperse the dead soldiers, and not follow them into the city, but wait at several gates on the outskirts of the capital to receive them.

Then he asked someone to go to Heming Mountain to deliver the letter, so that Chu Da and Chu Kefan were ready to mobilize people at any time.

Fang Lei was appointed as a general to take over the 3,000 Gu family army that was building barracks. This group of men and horses approached the capital from the other direction, and formed a flank attack with the team of Heming Mountain.

Of course, this is all done in secret. Su Jinyao made the decision to allocate manpower by herself, and even Gu Xuebin didn't ask.

Seeing that there were fewer people around him all of a sudden, Gu Xuebin knew it in his heart. However, he didn't seem to want to ask, but his expression was a little solemn.

Su Jinyao understood that Gu Xuebin's heart was also uncomfortable. Even though he is not uncommon to the vacant position of this prince, he has been demoted and announced to the world, which is related to the dignity and face of men.

Su Jinyao asked one of the attendants of the Prince's Mansion to go back to deliver the letter, and asked the housekeeper to pack up his things first, tidy up and pack, and said that they would prepare to leave Beijing after they went back to count.

On the surface, the prince was in a bad mood after being demoted, so he packed up his things and left Beijing immediately.

It is less than a day's journey from the capital, although it can be reached that night in a hurry. But Su Jinyao still asked everyone to stop and rest, set off early tomorrow morning, and arrive in the afternoon.

That night, the moonlight was bright and the light autumn breeze was clear.

Su Jinyao's foot injury recovered quite well, so she said that she was going to go for a walk with Gu Xuebin.

Gu Xuebin didn't hold Su Jinyao from moving, but just asked her to pay attention to her injury, and hugged her back when it really hurt.

Su Jinyao was on crutches, her left foot was completely weak, and her right foot jumped and moved beside Gu Xuebin, which looked a little cute.

Gu Xuebin turned his head to look at Su Jinyao jumping like a rabbit, and asked her, "Are you tired?" Let's go over there and sit down and rest. ”

Su Jinyao looked in the direction of Gu Xuebin's finger and saw a few persimmon trees. There are also large stones placed under the trees, which seem to be a place for passers-by to rest.

Su Jinyao nodded, and jumped over there first. Replaced by Gu Xuebin, who followed Su Jinyao's side step by step.

The two of them sat on the stone, Su Jinyao put her crutches aside, reached out and took Gu Xuebin's hand, and said, "I wish my foot injury would heal soon, guess why?" ”

"Good is good, and why? Could it be that Jinyao turned out to be looking at the foot injury, so it would be good? ”
