Chapter 183: Rebellion in the Northlands
Gu Congyuan glanced at the person kneeling on the ground lightly, his eyes were extremely cold.
It was already time for the access control everywhere, and the long street looked extremely wide and desolate, and even the watchman hadn't even come out, Gu Congyuan was standing in the middle of the long street like this, looking extremely abrupt.
"Who sent you?" Even though he knew that this question seemed redundant, he still asked coldly.
At this question, the kneeling man couldn't help but tremble.
Chang Shan took out the rag stuffed in the man's mouth and scolded, "Say it quickly! Why do you spy on Miss Lu Jiasan? ”
As if to save his life, the man's body struggled for a moment, revealing the silver bell that belonged to the Shadow Pavilion alone, and the long spike on his waist also shone in the moonlight.
“…… I was sent by the Pavilion Master. He swallowed his saliva and said, "The pavilion master did not send me to spy on the third lady, but to monitor the princess, but, but I didn't find which one was the Evergreen Academy, and by mistake, I arrived at the courtyard of the third lady yesterday." ”
It was also self-defeating, and Lu Qian was recognized as Lu Yao.
"Snort." Gu Congyuan hooked his lips, his eyes were full of mockery, and said, "A waste like you shouldn't have stayed in the Shadow Pavilion on an errand, and reporting to Hades as soon as possible is the right way." ”
The Shadow Killer on the ground was clumsy, but he was also tough.
He gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't escape the poisonous hands of the prince, so he stalked his neck and stopped talking.
Then he turned around and said: "But this king left you a cheap life this time, you go back and tell the pavilion master, you don't have to send someone to monitor me from time to time, what to do, I know it, and naturally I won't let him down." ”
The Shadow Slayer knelt on the spot in a daze, holding the determination to die, but he couldn't help but pick up a life in the cold, and couldn't help but come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, he hugged his fists to thank him, but who knew that Gu Congyuan spoke again: "From now on, if the pavilion master sends someone to approach Lu Yao again, don't blame me for seeing one and killing another." ”
The killer broke out in a cold sweat, said yes and left in a hurry.
Chang Shan looked at Gu Cong's long back, and his eyes were sad and joyful: "Lord Wang, did you really let him live?" ”
"It's just a messenger, it has nothing to do with me whether I die or not." The man spoke coldly, walked forward on his own, and walked slowly along the ten-mile long street.
Chang Shan was a little anxious: "But you know, the pavilion master will only come to trouble the princess even harder......"
The man didn't think about it and said, "Then the king will let the pavilion master know what kind of position Lu Yao is here for me." ”
Chang Shan's jaw dropped when he was shocked by this.
To know. From childhood to adulthood, Gu Congyuan was the most afraid of the pavilion master, and the pavilion master's torture of this son was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and all kinds of vicious punishment methods were tested on Gu Congyuan one by one.
Is it really that worth it for a woman?
Lu Yao has now changed the guest secretary of the East Palace to the guest secretary of the Cong Palace, and the burden in his heart has also been put down, his mood is too good, and he and Gu Congyuan have become more enthusiastic.
However, she soon noticed that Gu Cong was often tired from time to time, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Lu Yao was very depressed about this, and he couldn't catch the shadow of that person, so he thought about finding someone to complain.
But Lu Qian locked himself in the room all day long, racking his brains to make hairpins, and Hongluan always had no patience to stop, and began to change the topic after a quarter of an hour, Sun Jianglian has been busy with marriage recently, where is the time?
After all the calculations, Lu Yao only thought of one suitable to talk to
Candidate.
chose a sunny day, Lu Yao took Hongluan early in the morning, swayed into the palace, and went straight to Xi'an Palace.
Before she entered the temple gate, she smelled a slightly bitter smell of Chinese medicine, and when she entered, it became even stronger, but it was not as bad as before, and now the smell was mixed with bursts of floral fragrance, which was very refreshing.
The little maid of Xi'an Palace was very happy when she saw Lu Yao, and led the person to the warm pavilion on the side.
"Isn't Her Royal Highness the Princess here?" She asked.
The little maid lifted the heavy curtain of the warm pavilion and said, "Your Highness is at ease, but she is just busy applying medicine, so it doesn't prevent you from going in and talking to her." ”
Dressings?
In Lu Yao's memory, Gu Yunyue was either pierced into a hedgehog or forcibly poured a big bowl of bitter decoction medicine, when was there such a step? Could it be that he was injured?
As soon as she bought it, she saw clearly that Gu Yunyue was lying on the soft couch, looking drowsy, with two brown medicinal cloths on her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, this is very similar to modern eye patches.
Don't think about it, it's naturally Li Yun's credit.
"Who's coming?" Gu Yunyue couldn't see, her ears were extremely sensitive, and she instantly knew that someone had come in.
Lu Yao saw her at the mercy of others, and felt very funny, so he pinched his throat and said, "Guess the princess?" ”
Gu Yunyue instantly took off the two eye patches, and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister-in-law! What are you doing here! ”
"Naturally, I came to see you and talk to you." Lu Yao walked over to sit down and asked, "What are you putting on your eyes?" ”
Gu Yunyue threw away the medicine cloth that had dried slightly, and said, "This is a new development for me by Brother Li recently, and it is said that it can clear my eyes and clear heat, so that I can see more clearly." ”
Lu Yao bowed his head lightly and said: "It seems that Li Yun has not been idle in recent days, not only to be busy with the affairs of the Xuanji Camp, but also to come to Xi'an Palace to treat the princess, and also to find time to research new medicines...... Tsk, if this is a woman, she should be married. ”
Gu Yunyue smiled: "That's just right, he's a man, I should be married!" ”
People can always tell the truth in jokes, as soon as the ninth princess said this, Lu Yao's face stiffened, and the maids serving the left and right in the palace were stunned.
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense." Lu Yao said softly, "You are a princess, but you will marry the hairpin family in the future, and it is possible to directly recruit the concubine." ”
Gu Yunyue was not interested in this, pursed her lips, and let someone gently apply the medicine around her eyes.
After holding back for a while, she shouted: "I don't want to marry those straw bales, they are all embroidered pillows, empty and glamorous on the outside, and the inside is not at all different from what I imagined!" ”
Whoever is a girl who is not pregnant with spring, Lu Yao is not good to directly break that person's illusion, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, good, Your Highness will definitely marry the person you like." ”
Gu Yunyue smiled at this time.
She was disturbed by others, and her mind was chaotic, and it was easy to find the topic: "By the way, recently, I have seen your second brother often look tired, and he always can't sleep well at night, and he sighs from time to time, but what is the matter?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Yunyue immediately showed an expression of "Oh my God, I wanted to say it for a long time".
"Sister-in-law, don't you know?" She hurriedly grabbed Lu Yao's hand and said, "Recently, there has been chaos in the north, and she has been soft and aggressive, turning the frontier upside down, the people are not happy, and my father is worried
It's got to be white...... How can the second brother not be worried? ”
Gu Congyuan didn't even mention such a big thing, and came to see her as usual all day long.
How much burden should he bear behind his back?
Lu Yao was distressed for a while, and the person's previous absent-mindedness was also explained.
"How so?" She frowned and said, "Isn't Rou Ran paying tribute to me every year?" A small country is so arrogant now, it is simply lawless. ”
"Isn't it?" Gu Yunyue sighed fiercely and said, "Their group of aggressive and lazy people have eaten up the food and don't know how to farm, so they came to harass the people of the Northland, and now they are completely chaotic. ”
"How does Your Majesty plan to solve it?" Lu Yao felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Gu Yunyue shook her head blankly, she was a pampered little princess, and she didn't know anything about these things.
"How's that okay?" Lu Yao gradually had a terrible guess, "Does the emperor want the Xuanji Battalion to go to the north to suppress it?" ”
This time, Gu Yunyue finally stopped shaking her head, she nodded solemnly.
Gu Congyuan originally didn't want to tell Lu Yao about it, because he was afraid that she would be worried, even if he didn't tell him, he would be told by the person who knocked on the side, and he couldn't hide it.
Within a few days, Gu Congyuan received a holy decree, asking him to enter the palace to face the saint, saying that he had something important to discuss.
"This king really doesn't want to go." When it comes to entering the palace, he has always been positive, and it is rare to see him resisting.
Thinking about it, when he went to southern Xinjiang at the age of sixteen, he should have been the prince, but the emperor was biased and threw Gu Congyuan into the barracks.
This incident had a great impact on Gu Congyuan, even though it won a good reputation for being unparalleled, it also left some gray colors in his heart, lingering.
"Why don't you ......" Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go with you?" ”
Gu Congyuan's eyes immediately showed a little brilliance, but it was fleeting, and he said: "No, my father is looking for me to discuss, you come with me, I'm afraid that he will come to trouble you again afterwards." ”
Lu Yao crossed his arms and snorted, "So what? Didn't the prince often bring his guest named Wunian? If you take me there, it's just right, why can the prince be able to do it, but you can't? ”
In desperation, Gu Congyuan had no choice but to agree to her, and the two of them got into the carriage, and they were worried all the way.
Gu Congyuan's hand lightly covered the back of Lu Yao's hand, and she could clearly feel that the person was sweating a thin layer, obviously nervous.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Cong, who was majestic and world-famous, would also have fear, and the more he got along, the more Lu Yao discovered how distressing Gu Congyuan was.
Gonggong Li, who was at the gate of the Yangxin Palace, saw this pair of beautiful people from afar, and immediately enthusiastically came over to show the way.
Gu Congyuan said nonchalantly: "Has the prince arrived?" ”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment.
But whenever the emperor invites Gu Congyuan to go, the prince will definitely come, and the affairs of the Cong Palace's mansion are almost hidden, so it's no wonder that he asked so politely.
Gonggong Li's smile stiffened over the years, and said, "Just arrived, just arrived." ”
When he pushed the door in, the prince was sitting calmly on the seat and drinking tea, his movements were elegant and calm, and he sat there as if it were a painting, and he did not see the current feeling of the enemy.
Seeing Gu Congyuan, he smiled lightly: "Second brother is here?" ”
