Chapter 382: Quid pro quo

Another 20-odd days of searching and arresting.

Xu Baisen still has no news.

Gan Peilin stood in front of the long table, looking at the map in front of him in a daze. I've already searched for all the places I can find, so why don't I have any clues? If Xu Baisen is safe, why don't he try to contact his family and ask for a safe way to return to the city. The rest of the things can be explained as long as the face saint is concerned.

But he is like a stone sinking into the deep sea, and there is no news at all.

"Ma'am." The swallow, who hadn't seen Gan Peilin for a long time, walked in quickly. "Slave and maid give you greetings."

"Swallows?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be happy when he saw that she was coming: "You haven't been back home for a long time, how is it outside?" ”

Yanzi looked at the map, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Madam, I won't tell you anything, Heiyan has found all the places that can be found." But there is no news of the Xu family's son so far, and we are really at a loss. ”

"yes." Gan Peilin expressed his understanding: "Maybe he encountered some difficulties and had to hide. Perhaps, he has his own set of methods, and in short, it is good news that he did not fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

"The second son of the Ao family, the third son has returned to the court." Yanzi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Although I suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses in the front, I made a beautiful comeback battle next." Incredibly, it was the third son of the Ao family, the young Ao Min, who turned the tide. ”

The name "Ao Min ......" appeared in Gan Peilin's ears again, and she couldn't help but think of the past.

Ao Min is indeed ten rare generals, but when it comes to means, he is no match for Ao Min. But this time, he gained the upper hand several times, but Ao Su suffered losses one after another.

"Madam, the slave maid entered the house this time to repay her master." Yanzi said a little uncomfortable: "I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to serve by the side of the lady as before." However, the slave maid brought back good news, and the lady would be glad to know it. ”

"What's the good news?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be curious.

"Before coming back, the slave maid went to see the brittle core and asked her if she had anything to tell the slave maid to tell Madame." Yanzi touched out a few silks made of crispy cores, and said with a smile: "Crispy cores are happy." ”

"Joy for the brittle core?" Gan Peilin instantly felt that the days were full of hope: "Great, this is really a happy event." Rulan, you can find something to send to them when you go back. It can be used. ”

"Yes." Rulan was also very happy.

The three of them were smiling sweetly, when they saw Suo Yang walk in.

"Stop." Liulan's face immediately changed: "Who allowed you to come in?" ”

Suoyang saluted Gan Peilin, but gave Liulan a blank look: "If it weren't for the princess's orders, how dare I come here!" The princess has something to ask your young lady to come over. ”

She said Miss, but she didn't call Mrs.

Liulan and Yanzi looked at each other, and no one paid attention to her.

Gan Peilin turned around and walked to his place, sat down, gently picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"Anyway, I've brought my words, it's up to you whether you go or not." Suoyang knew that when he came to this courtyard, he would be angry.

As a result, she walked out, and she didn't see anyone following her.

The more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she became, and she walked in again. "I said, Madam, why are you angry with the Metropolitan Governor, don't embarrass us who are at the moment. Now our princess invites you to go over and talk, even if you don't go, you have to let the people around you go over and squeak. ”

"You go back first, I'll change my clothes and go over." Gan Peilin said slowly.

Suoyang saluted again, turned around and left.

"Madame, these days, must be having a hard time." When Yanzi saw Suoyang like that, he felt uncomfortable.

"It's fine." Gan Peilin smiled faintly: "It's not like I do my own thing on weekdays. Well, go and get back to your life. ”

"Okay." The swallow saluted: "If there is a chance, the slave will come to visit the lady again." ”

"Hmm." Gan Peilin took the crisp embroidered silk she brought, asked Liulan to put it away, and then changed her clothes and went to Princess Zhen.

Princess Zhen is beside her, Suoyang and Zhuyu are there.

Other than that, the huge courtyard was empty.

"Sit down." Zhen didn't want to talk to Gan Peilin about these false gifts.

Gan Peilin walked over and sat down next to Zhen. "What's the matter with the princess letting me come in a hurry?"

Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "I don't have to look for you, but...... After some things, I know that you want to help your husband. ”

"......" What she said, Gan Peilin didn't know how to pick it up.

"Suoyang." Zhen glanced sideways at her.

Suo Yang frowned and walked to Gan Peilin with a map, she was very reluctant to bend her knees to Gan Peilin so that Gan Peilin could clearly see the content on the map.

"The red area is the area heavily guarded by our Chen Kingdom." Zhen said.

"This ......" Gan Peilin is even more incomprehensible. Why did the princess tell me? ”

"I don't really want to tell you, but...... A few days ago, when she entered the palace to say goodbye, the queen mother hinted that she wanted her husband to go on the expedition. In the name of it, it is to personally capture the former subordinates. I believe, you also know about the rebellion of your husband's subordinates, even King Yeqing has no chance of winning, but the queen wants her husband to gnaw this hard bone. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is necessary to pass through this area of Tatsu Kingdom. ”

Zhen raised his head slightly, and his face was slightly solemn.

Gan Peilin looked at her puzzled.

"There's only one way now." There was a hint of coolness in Zhen's eyes: "My husband accompanied me home to save my relatives and walked through that area." With me as a shield or a hostage, my father and brother will not be ruthless. ”

"Wait." Gan Peilin stared at Zhen: "The princess just said, you entered the palace a few days ago to say hello to the queen?" I don't know what the happy event is? ”

Zhen's cold gaze suddenly became warm, and she was not in a hurry to answer Gan Peilin, but slowly lowered her gaze on her flat abdomen.

With this look, Gan Peilin understood everything.

"Haven't congratulated the princess yet."

"Not necessarily." Zhen cleaned up his face, but the joy in his eyes didn't have time to hide: "I invited you over, not so that you can congratulate me." Whether I am willing to be a shield or a hostage, accompanying my husband on this trip is my heart for him. But after all, I did it for you, so I want you to promise me one thing. ”

"What?" Gan Peilin knew that she was conditional.

"If I give birth to a boy in the future, he must inherit everything that my husband has." Princess Zhen looked at Gan Peilin with heavy eyes: "The husband is good to you, maybe you will have the opportunity to give birth to the husband's son in the future." I can accept to be equal to you, but I must not allow my children to share the future with yours. What's more, there are some things that can't be divided equally at all, you and I are both people who are bent on supporting your husband to reach the peak, you should understand what I mean. ”

Liulan wanted to argue for Gan Peilin, but before she could speak, she heard Gan Peilin agree.

"Good. Then according to what the princess said, it is a word. Gan Peilin almost did not hesitate.

This made Zhen feel very unsure: "You agreed so easily? ”

"yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "The princess asked me to come, didn't she just hope that I would agree?" ”

"I don't believe it." Zhen said directly: "I risked my life to help my husband, even if you agreed to a word, this is too cheap." ”

"Then how can the princess believe it?" Gan Peilin looked at her puzzled.

Zhen turned to look at Dogwood.

Zhu Yu took out a brocade box and presented it in front of Gan Peilin with both hands.

"What is this?" Liulan couldn't help it: "What do you want to do to Madame?" ”

"In our kingdom of Chen, if a woman does not want to give birth to a husband she does not love, she will take such a pill." Zhen frowned solemnly and said: "Once you take it, you will not have children in this life." As long as you don't have children, everything belongs to my son. ”

"How dare you have such a vicious mind." Liulan's whole body trembled.

Gan Peilin didn't say anything, and looked at the brocade box in a daze.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, you and I are both the Governor's wife. Either you beat me, or I beat you. I don't want the country that I fought so hard to fall into your hands so easily. Don't blame me for being selfish, human nature is like this. Zhen Youyou sighed: "Don't worry, if I give birth to a daughter in the future, I will also make her as filial as your mother." Even in your old age, you will not be alone. ”

"I can promise you not to fight with you, and I won't let my children fight with your children." Gan Peilin raised his head slightly and looked at Zhen: "But I won't eat this." I can't promise you. ”

"Gan Peilin, you ......" Zhen anxious's cheeks flushed. You want to touch your upper lip to your lower lip, and you want me to risk my life? Where in the world is there such a cheap deal? ”

"Do you think it's a deal?" Gan Peilin looked at her unhappily: "You said it yourself, you are willing to do anything for your husband." If you are willing to do it, you are willing to take risks, then why force me to give up my right to be a mother to fulfill your wishes? I have promised you that I will not fight with you, you don't believe in yourself, and I don't need to pay for your selfishness. ”

"You ......"

Jiang Yu came in with a calm face, but he was somewhat comforted in his heart.

If she really agreed, he would definitely be angry.

Seeing that she was still so stubborn, Jiang Yu was a little relieved.

"You don't have to accompany me on the expedition." Jiang Yu looked at Zhen with heavy eyes, and his tone was stiff: "You don't have to force others to do such a thing." ”

Zhen expected that this matter could not be contained in paper, and he didn't want to hide it from Jiang Yu: "If the husband wants to blame me, then just blame it." Isn't it for your future that I insist on doing so? In all dynasties and dynasties, how many heavenly families are rich and noble, not in the vicious fight of flesh and blood. Even if it's you here, didn't King Shengqing almost seek the emperor's country? It's good for everyone to break this thought as soon as possible. Husband, you can pamper her, but there is no need to risk it. ”

Jiang Yu sneered, and looked at Zhen with sharp eyes: "So eager for quick success, do you want to be the queen?" ”
