Hearing the emperor's words, Chu Ying knew that it would be impossible for him to insist on resigning, so he silently accepted this matter.

On the way back to his house, he met Gu Yan who was riding a horse.

"Protector, please stay!" Gu Yan hurriedly stopped Chu Ying, dismounted and stood in front of Chu Ying.

After the two stood face to face, Chu Ying said with some embarrassment: "I don't know what happened to His Highness?" ”

Gu Yan originally wanted to ask if there was any news about Chu Mu recently, but when he saw Chu Ying's current appearance, he probably knew that there should be none.

He picked up a bag of things from his horseback and handed it to Chu Ying, saying, "I just came back from the Western Regions, this is the pastry I brought back from there, you can take it back and give it to Aunt Chu You and them to eat!" ”

Gu Yan didn't dare to say anything about Chu Mu, in the past few days when Chu Mu was away, he went to the Western Regions, and the emperor asked him to go secretly, and he only came back today.

originally wanted to go into the palace to report something, but when he happened to meet Chu Ying, he handed him something.

Chu Ying smiled and said a few words of thanks, and then took the pastry away, Gu Yan looked at his down-and-out back a little sadly, but hurried to the palace to return the news.

He rode into the palace, and as soon as he entered the palace, he hadn't informed his father of the emperor, and the post of the eldest princess Gu Pan had already come down.

was directly dragged to the palace of the eldest princess who looked forward to it.

He was so tired that he just sat down casually when he walked to the position, and Gu Pan walked over slowly with an orange cat in his arms, glanced at him and said, "Where have you been these days?" You don't have to come to the palace! ”

"I can't tell you, why do you call me something?"

Saying that, Gu Pan walked up, asked the maids around him to retreat, sat beside Gu Yan and said, "Do you know? The father secretly executed the king of Jin! ”

On the day Gu Yan left, the emperor secretly executed the king of Jin, but announced that the king of Jin was seriously ill in prison, and now a notice was posted at the gate of the city to find a miracle doctor for the king of Jin.

However, he had already given King Jin a cup of poisoned wine, and had already sent it out of the city that night, and sent it back to this jade clearance for Gu Lang to be buried.

At the same time, the eldest son of the King of Jin was also assigned to the frontier!

Gu Pan once thought that his father would take care of family affection, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless.

"It's normal, but how does the eldest sister know!"

Gu Pan smiled, she also wondered if it was the King of Jin who asked to see her before he died, and the emperor actually allowed it, so he let her go.

That's why she knows, but she doesn't know why.

Gu Yan glanced at her and smiled: "It may be that King Jin thinks he has an eye for you!" ”

After speaking, he looked outside and felt that the time was up, and hurriedly said: "Usually I come again, but today my father is looking for me to have something, so I will go first!" ”

Gu Pan nodded and let him go first, just when Gu Yan stepped out of the door, he suddenly saw a bell hanging on the door of Gu Pan's room, he remembered that it was very similar to the one on the witch's leg, that is, it was much bigger than that.

Just as he was about to touch it, a servant girl stopped him.

"Your Highness, don't touch this, this is the wind spirit used on Halloween, and it is to keep those snakes and insects away, but if you don't use it on Halloween, it will attract snakes and insects, which is terrifying!"

"What if it's a little smaller than this, the kind of bell that is tied to your feet?"

After saying that, the little maid thought for a moment, then turned around and gave him one and asked, "Is it something like this?" ”

Gu Yan nodded, and the little maid suddenly whispered: "If Your Highness sees the woman with this on her feet, stay away from her, this is a witch's medicine, that is, a Gu worm is placed in the person's body, and then this silver bell is used to attract a poisonous snake, under the effect of cooperation, if the snake bites that person, the Gu worm will attack, and then it will be poisoned!" ”

This maid is from the Western Regions, and she is a maid she met by chance when she was idle, and she thought she was interesting and brought her back to her palace.

At this time, when Gu Yan heard this, he first thanked the servant girl, and then felt a lot more puzzled in his heart.

Since the witch was going to deliver medicine to Chu Mu, why did she bring this silver bell?

Thinking about it, he went to meet the emperor first.

Today's emperor was in a particularly depressed mood, and he had been staying in this back garden all the time, and heard the news that Gu Yan had entered the palace, but when he saw that he had not come in for a long time, he called someone to urge him for a while.

"Father!"

Gu Yan shouted from afar, and the emperor's hand for feeding the fish trembled, and he turned back to him and said, "Are you going to your sister again?" ”

"Yes, but I'm still in a hurry!"

Saying that, Gu Yan handed the emperor what the emperor asked him to go to the Western Regions to get it, it was a letter, but he never opened it when he got it.

I brought it back like this and handed it directly to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the envelope, was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "I can't imagine that I received this letter after many years!" ”

He said helplessly, Gu Yan didn't understand very much, obviously he had just fought with the Western Regions, but Gu Yan was called to the Western Regions by the emperor not long after he was in Kyoto, saying that an old man wrote him a letter many years ago, and he never went to get it, so let Gu Yan help him get it.

And the emperor at that time also felt that if he let his other princes go, they might have already seen it before they got it back, and only this Gu Yan would really not look at it.

"Then father, you look at it first, do you want your son to avoid it?"

The emperor nodded, and just as Gu Yan was about to leave, he suddenly said: "Then you are not young, these other princes have several maidservants, but your house is so deserted, this is not right!" ”

"What my father said is that the son is still waiting for a wife who can control the son and the minister, and if he meets him, the son will definitely bring it back!"

In fact, Gu Yan was waiting for Chu Mu, he always felt that Chu Mu was still alive, and he felt that the person he wanted to marry in his life was Chu Mu.

When he mentioned it, he felt a little lost in his heart, and when he turned around and left the palace, his heart was full of discomfort.

At this time, I met Chen Anjun, who may have been beaten by his wife again, and his face was bruised.

"Your Highness!"

Chen Anjun saw Gu Yan and hurriedly called him, but Gu Yan was in a trance, so he didn't hear it.

Chen Anjun trotted a few steps, "Your Highness!" What are you thinking about that? ”

"So you're calling me? What's going on? ”

"It's nothing, my wife thanked you for the jewelry from the Western Regions that you brought her, and said that you would like to come to my house tonight!"

Gu Yan nodded, and then said with a smile: "The wine must be enough!" ”

Chen Anjun nodded, and then said to Gu Yan: "Remember to come on time, otherwise my wife will greet me again!" ”

Gu Yan smiled, looked at the injury on his face, gave him a bottle of medicine that he carried with him at any time, and said with a smile: "You take it!" ”

The two then said a few words, and Gu Yan went directly out of the palace gate and went back to his mansion.
