Chapter 50: Departure for the Dynasty
That night, in the blink of an eye, passed.
A faint white of fish belly had just risen in the sky, and a bright color lit up the flat land.
There was a cacophony of voices outside the tent, and the voice of the soldier commanding the soldiers was extremely loud, and in this early morning, with joy that could not be concealed.
Mu Yunqi got up from the couch and walked outside the camp tent to take a look.
The soldiers excitedly pulled out tents, collected horses, and tied up grain and grass. Their faces were all filled with joy, and they were doing what they were doing with their strength.
Looking at them, she smiled knowingly and turned back to the tent.
A book on the table caught her attention, and she hurried over to pick it up.
- "The Secret Book of Poison History"
She flipped through the pages at random, her gaze resting on a few lines of small print.
Condensation, the thing that reaches the yin, the woman is poisoned, the body rises and falls, harmless and unharmed. Those who have sex with it, the toxin is transferred, quickly penetrates, and dies in less than a year.
She clenched the book in her hand and looked around the tent.
She hadn't heard a sound last night, but today there was an extra book on the table.
Thinking of Nangong He's departure yesterday, I don't know what he meant?
It seems that the tea he gave him that night was this poison, did he want to plant the poison in his body and then transfer it to Gu Hanxuan? But why did he tell himself about the poison?
Or did he deliberately tell himself that he wanted to avoid Gu Hanxuan, and he didn't let himself become Gu Hanxuan's woman.
Mu Yunqi's heart stirred up a burst of anger, she suddenly got up and threw the book aside.
She forcibly soothed her anger, looked at the books on the ground, lifted the curtain and stepped out.
She walked outside Gu Hanxuan's tent and stretched out her hand to open the curtain.
Gu Hanxuan sat directly above the tent, and below sat King Yi and Su Lu, and of course there was a strange man.
Mu Yunqi opened the curtain and heard Gu Hanxuan talking, her footsteps stopped at the door of the tent, not knowing whether to enter or exit.
Gu Hanxuan saw that she was at a loss at the door of the tent, smiled and waved at her.
"It's okay, it's about to leave, I tell you something about the return trip, come in." His voice was extremely easy-going, and his gaze was tender.
Mu Yunqi walked to the wooden table on the side with small steps and sat down on the stool.
Gu Hanxuan glanced at her with a smile and continued: "When I return to the northern country, I will return to the palace first, and the fourth brother and Su Lu will go to the border battlefield first. ”
"Your Ministers obey." King Yi and Su Lu stood up at the same time and bowed their hands.
"King Qing will leave with me today, and the rest of the camp will be handed over to the fourth brother." He got up and walked towards King Yi.
"The minister will live up to the emperor's orders." King Yi bowed his hand again, with loyalty and determination on his face.
Gu Hanxuan brushed down his arched fist and nodded slightly.
Then, King Yi and Su Lu bowed and withdrew, and the moment their bodies came out of the tent, King Yi quietly raised his eyes, his gaze passed from Mu Yunqi's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Mu Yunqi looked up at the figure who had exited the camp, frowning slightly, is the border battle about to start again?
"Imperial sister-in-law." King Qing sat on the stool and shouted to her.
Gu Hanxuan walked behind her and said, "I don't think you have seen him, he is the son of Concubine Liu, the ninth in line, he was sent by his father to Zhonglin Mountain to practice martial arts, and he only rushed over to the imperial capital not long ago." ”
"King Qing?" Mu Yunqi looked at him, it seemed that he had indeed never seen it, he had heard that the first emperor sent the Nine Emperor Princes to the mountain to practice martial arts, and he thought it was him.
"The imperial sister-in-law is smart." King Qing raised his eyebrows and praised.
"I know the other two people in the tent, the king of Qing in your imperial brother's mouth, can there be anyone else besides you?" Mu Yunqi looked at him with a smile and said.
"I heard that the imperial sister-in-law is very skilled, when can I learn from my younger brother?" He had a playful look on his face.
Mu Yunqi squinted at him and said, "Did you hear?" Where did you hear about it? ”
King Qing coughed unnaturally twice at this moment, got up with a smile, and said hesitantly: "Oh, that....... It's time to go, Brother Emperor. He turned his back to Mu Yunqi and looked at Gu Hanxuan.
"Alright, let's go get ready." Gu Hanxuan raised his voice and commanded, he has been close to Lao Jiu since he was a child, and of course he knows him the most.
"Okay." After saying that, he ran out in a flash.
Gu Hanxuan looked at Mu Yunqi and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
Mu Yunqi got up and followed him and walked out of the tent.
In a very ordinary but wide carriage, several men rode away from the rear of the northern military camp on black horses.
Mu Yunqi sat in the carriage and couldn't help laughing in her heart, in just a few days, the person who was in the same carriage with her changed from the lord of the Jin country to the lord of the northern country.
She leaned against the wall of the car with her eyes closed, and she was still a little overwhelmed in the face of Gu Hanxuan, so she could only choose to close her eyes to escape.
Now that she has returned to the northern country, she has to get in touch with Bai Rong first, thinking back to the past, she has too many doubts, thinking that only Bai Rong can solve the mystery in her heart.
"Or do you want to go to the border?" Gu Hanxuan looked at her closed eyes, and her gently fluttering eyelashes let him know that she hadn't really fallen asleep.
Mu Yunqi opened his eyes, looked at him with a smile in his apricot eyes, and said, "I won't go to see the third brother, but I must go to the border." ”
"Why?" He asked softly.
Mu Yunqi lowered his head and muttered for a long time.
There were some things that she couldn't tell Gu Hanxuan yet, because he would definitely not allow it.
Gu Hanxuan sighed softly, and said helplessly: "That's it, I won't force you, if you want to go back to the palace, I will pick you up." ”
"Okay." She smiled at him.
On the way back to the northern military camp from Jinguo, she had already planned to stay with him with peace of mind.
If Nangong He hadn't hurt himself again and again, he would have taken advantage of himself. She may really let go of those grievances and follow Gu Hanxuan back to the Northern Palace.
But as the situation is today, it is impossible to return to the peace it was before.
How could she let herself be used by Nangong He like this, and how could she not fight back. Now that her memories have been unsealed, she must not sit still.
"Why haven't you seen Concubine Xin?"
Gu Hanxuan's face became gloomy, he looked at the small table in the carriage, and said, "I sent her back to the palace when I was in Luzhou." ”
In the palace that day, Mu Yunqi was hit by an arrow, which she arranged single-handedly, although she was ordered by the Queen Mother, but when he recalled Mu Yunqi's appearance after being hit by an arrow, he couldn't help but be angry with her.
When ** asked her for an antidote, she said that only the queen mother had the antidote in her hands. If she hadn't blocked the sword for herself, she would have died on the spot.
The current situation is grim, the border battle and the court, thinking about it gives him a headache.
In the matter of waving the army of Jinguo, the old ministers in the court will definitely demand the abolition of Empress Mu Yunqi because of this.
Although he promised the Queen Mother to make Xin Zhenyi the queen, it was just an expedient measure under the urgency of the situation at that time. And he was indeed a little disheartened with Mu Yunqi, and wanted to really let her go.
But now that she was willing to return to the north with him, he changed his mind, and even though the posterior position was useless, he never thought of abolishing the queen.
Mu Yunqi nodded, she was actually just asking casually.
"This road has to be rushed for two days to leave the territory of Jinguo as soon as possible, the carriage is bumpy, and you can lie down and rest when you are tired." Gu Hanxuan looked at her with a caring gaze.
Mu Yunqi nodded, leaned against the wall of the car and said nothing.
