Chapter 20: The Death of the Princess
Junzi hurried and hurried back, and finally rushed back to Yangui City after a day and a night.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he fell off his horse due to physical exhaustion.
The guards guarding the door recognized him, hurriedly helped him into the mansion and reported to the old prince.
When Junzi saw the old prince, he finally got up and knelt on the ground. He tearfully told the old prince about the death of the princess, and as soon as he finished speaking, the old prince couldn't stand it and almost fell to the ground.
The housekeeper hurriedly went over to support him, relieved his mind, and the old prince waved his hand weakly, signaling Shunzi to retreat.
"Old prince, please mourn, take care of your body. The butler looked worried, thinking that this Anwang Mansion has really been eventful recently.
"Go, tell me about my unfilial grandson. ”
After the old prince finished speaking, he sat on the chair, his eyes were full of tears, and when the housekeeper retreated, he said to himself: "Brother Gu, this king can't stand you......"
He recalled what Gu Zhifeng had asked him for more than ten years ago, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart......
An Zheyu is practicing swords in his courtyard, and his grandfather does not allow him to go to An Wanyuan, and he is now suffering from it.
His mother and brother had been ordered to return to the imperial city yesterday, and he felt that the entire Anwang Mansion had returned to its original coldness, and he always felt a little empty in his heart.
"Your Royal Highness, the butler is here. An Ting came to report, he had to stop and threw the long sword in his hand to An Ting.
"What's the matter with the butler?" he wiped his sweat with his handkerchief, and although it was autumn, the midday sun was still very hot, and he went to the stone table and poured himself a glass of water, and did not look at the butler.
The housekeeper was accustomed to being ignored by his own son, so he calmly reported with a courtesy: "Your Royal Highness, please mourn, the princess is in trouble." ”
An Zheyu's hand holding the teacup shook, and he said with some indignation: "The princess is staying in the mansion well, how can she be killed?" He didn't react for a while, thinking that the housekeeper was talking about Li Wanqing.
"No... It's not the princess from the imperial city in the palace, it's the other one... The butler was a little speechless, and two brides suddenly appeared when the prince got married, one of whom was personally instructed by the current emperor, and the other was also tacitly approved, but there is still no title to distinguish between the two, and it is wrong to call it.
"You mean Gu Wanwan?" An Zheyu said with some surprise.
I thought to myself, didn't that girl go out of the house by being clever, how could it be...?" the butler bent down and said, "Exactly." ”
"How so?" he put down his teacup, thinking that this was another trick for the girl to get out of her shell.
She is really determined not to be the princess of this Anwang Mansion. An Zheyu shook his head helplessly.
The housekeeper repeated what Junzi said, and finally said: "In short, the princess was eaten by the wolf demon, and I am afraid that the bones will be difficult to find." ”
When An Zheyu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said in his heart: "Isn't this true? If not, then this girl is not simple......
Waving off the butler and An Ting, he sat down alone in the courtyard, took out the lilac purse from his arms, rubbed it with his hand, and said to himself: "Are you really dead, or is this another plan of yours?"
After thinking about it, he felt that the former was more likely, and she was not a Taoist, so she could not summon monsters?
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, a husband and wife, although they were in name only, but she had also been his wife An Zheyu, he decided that even if his body could not be found, he would also set up a well-dressed mound for her to enjoy the incense of his An Wangfu...... Thinking of this, he decided to go to his grandfather to discuss the matter.
When he came to the old prince's study, he saw his grandfather lying alone on the bookcase writing something, but his hands kept shaking, and his eyes were cloudy with tears.
The old prince glanced up at him, finally put down the pen in his hand, sighed, and said, "This is what you like?"
"The grandson didn't dare. ”
"Ho, there is even something that you don't dare to do!" coughed heavily after speaking.
An Zheyu hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and the old prince glanced at him and took it, but he didn't drink it, and put the teacup on the bookcase.
After a pause, he still opened his mouth leisurely and said, "Now is not the time to be angry with you, what are you planning about the future of Wan'er?"
"Grandson is going to set up a well-dressed mound for her......" "No!" Before his words fell, the old prince stopped him: "Whether Wan'er was really killed is just one side of the word, and the king will never believe it if he doesn't see her body!"
"But grandfather, Shunzi also said that Gu Wanwan was eaten by the wolf demon, and when Yan returned to the city to make trouble with the cat demon, didn't grandfather witness the death of the people in the city, this is not empty talk. An Zheyu retorted.
When the old prince heard this, he suddenly thought of something, but he didn't move, just continued: "Having said that, this king just doesn't believe it, you must go and find Wan'er's body, otherwise don't come to see me!"
"It's... Grandfather, she was eaten by a wolf demon, how do you tell your grandson to find it?" ”
After the old prince said this, he motioned for him to go out, An Zheyu wanted to say something more, but he didn't turn his head and didn't care anymore.
When his grandson retreated, he smiled and said in his heart: "With Zichun, that girl won't be so short-lived." ”
He seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to himself happily: Girl, even if you turn to the edge of the sky, I will also let my grandson find you......"
He tore up the half-written letter and rewrote it on paper, then called the Secret Guard to deliver it. I thought that Brother Gu would definitely jump up when he saw it, his daughter, hehe......
"Grandfather..."An Zheyu suddenly returned for some reason, and the old prince hurriedly put away his smiling face and pretended to be sad. "What else?"
Afraid of angering his grandfather and hurting himself, An Zheyu had to ask cautiously: "When does grandfather want his grandson to leave?"
"Take the straight and let's go!"
"My grandson wants to see Wanqing. An Zheyu bowed his head and said.
"Arrange it yourself. "The old prince knows that he has done too much, and Li Wanqing will definitely find the emperor to complain.
"Thank you, grandfather!" Seeing An Zheyu's excited face, the old prince felt uncomfortable.
His grandson was protected by him so well that he couldn't figure out the emperor's true intentions.
The old prince shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Alas, it's really a creation to make people!"
When she came to An Wanyuan, Li Wanqing was feeding the fish next to the big water tank.
Signaling Shuang'er not to make a sound, An Zheyu slowly leaned over with a smile on his face, and before he could cover the other party's eyes, the people had already turned around and looked at him with a spring breeze on his face.
An Zheyu sighed and said, "How did you find me?" Li Wanqing said with an arrogant face: "Don't forget, I'm your third junior sister!"
An Zheyu smiled, thinking that it was right, they didn't know how many years they had been playing this game when they were in Nameless Mountain.
"Grandfather agrees with you to come to my courtyard?" Li Wanqing pretended to be afraid, for fear that he would sneak in.
An Zheyu nodded cooperatively, and also pretended to look around, looking afraid of being bumped into.
made Li Wanqing more and more anxious, and she wanted to push him out, she wanted to gain a foothold in King An's Mansion and must be a good old prince.
Even if she is pretending, she must not be a disgusting granddaughter-in-law, otherwise she will not be able to complete her plan.
So the first thing she has to do is - be obedient!
Seeing her scared, An Zheyu finally couldn't hold back his smile and hugged her in his arms.
This little woman is still as empathetic and distressing as she was when she was in Nameless Mountain......
"Don't make a fuss, it's my grandfather who agreed. He whispered in her ear, and Li Wanqing stopped pretentiously and hugged An Zheyu tightly.
She didn't know whether she was in love or something else about this person, she only knew that in this life she was a chess piece placed by her father and the emperor beside him, so what if she didn't love her......
The two shook hands and talked, and before the sky knew it, it was dark, An Zheyu looked at the lantern that was lit by his subordinates, and suddenly turned around and asked Li Wanqing: "Wanqing, are you willing to go out of the house with me?"
Li Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, and said, "I really want to be with you all the time, I'll go wherever you go, but... I can't disobey my grandfather......"
She didn't say any more, but barely squeezed out a few tears, which made An Zheyu feel distressed again.
He hugged her gently and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and tell my grandfather..." Li Wanqing gently covered his mouth and said, "Don't say it, my grandfather is already prejudiced against me, and I am willing to stay in the mansion to be filial to him for you." ”
"Wanqing...!" An Zheyu took her hand and put it on his lips and kissed it, the two looked at each other and smiled, his Wanqing always thought about him like this. An Zheyu is very pleased that he can marry this good wife in this life.
"Yu Shizi, the old prince sent a message, saying that Shunzi was not seriously injured, he had rested, and the people had already packed their bags, and the old prince told the prince to set off immediately. ”
With the old prince's personal guard coming to report, An Zheyu suddenly became a little angry, and said unhappily: "Got it." ”
Li Wanqing pulled his sleeve and said, "Don't be like this, Sister Gu hasn't been gone for long, and it is estimated that the place is not far from the city, so my husband will go early and return early." ”
An Zheyu looked at her reluctantly, and finally had to turn her head, and said with some reluctance: "Wanqing, I'm sorry, we just got married, but we had to be temporarily separated due to others, don't worry, I will definitely come back to reunite with you as soon as possible." ”
"Well, husband, please take care......"
The two of them are parting ways, but Tang Wanwan on the other end is still thinking about how to get rid of King Yi's annoyance.
With him with him, she couldn't do whatever she wanted, she really couldn't bear it and was about to go crazy.
"What's wrong with the princess, it doesn't look like she's very happy!"
Yiwang An Yichen handed over an apple, Tang Wanwan didn't pick it up, just glared at him and said angrily: "Please don't call me the princess, I'm not the princess now!"
"Oh... That king is not called this king, just "I", you can call me An Yichen in the future, or you can call me eldest brother. In the future, we are all ordinary people, how about going to do chivalry and righteousness together?"
"Not how!" replied to him simply, and Tang Wanwan went back to his room to rest.
During the day, they came to this small town called Inkpond Town, and stayed in this Anyue Inn.
"Miss is back. Lingzhi stepped forward and poured her a cup of hot tea, and continued: "What, isn't the moonlight beautiful tonight, Miss will be back in a short time?"
Tang Wanwan took a sip of tea and said, "I saw a big fly, and I was a little annoyed." ”
Lingzhi chuckled, and the big fly lady had been annoying him all day. She couldn't help but smile and fetched the bath water for her, and said, "Miss, wash and sleep, I have to go to see the beautiful scenery tomorrow." ”
"Hmm. Tang Wanwan answered, almost forgetting that tomorrow Gu Zichun said that he wanted her to get up early, saying that he was going to take her to see Mochi Town, and she was really looking forward to it.
