Yun Yao originally thought that she only needed to take care of the child until Lu Yingquan came back, but she didn't expect that there would be another trouble that would follow.

That is Wu Qianwen, the daughter of the old general Wu who lived in the side hall of Jianzhang Palace in the past.

If it weren't for Wu Qianwen taking the initiative to come to the door, Yun Yao would almost have forgotten that such a person existed. After all, over the years, the relationship between her and Gu Qingming has been smooth sailing, the two have advanced and retreated together, and they have experienced a lot, and they really can't remember that there is a "General Gu's fiancée" in the Ning Palace.

Therefore, when Zhuzhi came in to tell Miss Wu that she was asking to see her, Yun Yao's hand that was coaxing the child was slightly paused, her heart sank, and the smile on her face decreased a lot.

After a long time, Yun Yao put the thin and small child who was born prematurely in the nurse's arms and went to the main hall with the bamboo branch.

Wu Qianwen was sitting in the hall, and there was already a palace maid who served tea and put it at hand, but she had no intention of tasting tea, and even looked a little uneasy. Seeing Yun Yao coming, she immediately got up and greeted her with a little flattery:

"Miss Yun Yao, don't come unharmed. I heard that you were back, and I should have come to see you earlier, but there are many things in the palace, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity, so I ......"

This chattering remark made Yun Yao's heart upset. Although she is not such a calculating woman, for the person she loves, she still looks forward to a lifetime and a couple, so when she sees Wu Qianwen, she will inevitably be a little panicked.

"Miss Wu is polite, I don't know why you came here today?" Yun Yao interrupted Wu Qianwen's words and asked straight to the point.

Wu Qianwen is the daughter of Jiangmen, just twisted for a moment, and then let go: "Miss Yun, I know that you can speak in front of the new emperor, I want to ask you to talk to the new emperor, I want to meet General Gu, is it okay? You also know that my identity is already very embarrassing in the palace, originally because the Empress Dowager Jingduan gave me and General Gu a marriage, and now the Empress Dowager Jingduan has gone, so I ......"

"Miss Wu, let's go back first, I will mention this matter with Your Majesty. Yun Yao didn't make things too difficult for Wu Qianwen, and even accepted it.

She is not the kind of woman who doesn't know what to do, and she knows that Gu Qingming and Wu Qianwen's engagement is to collect the military power of General Wu in her hands for the emperor and King Yi, but in any case, this matter needs to be solved by Gu Qingming herself, not by her.

Listening to Yun Yao's words, Wu Qianwen was overjoyed and immediately thanked her: "Thank you Miss Yun, then I will wait for Miss Yun's good news." ”

After saying this, Wu Qianwen retired and left the Hehuan Palace.

If in the past, with Wu Qianwen's temperament, she would definitely not be willing to whisper to Yun Yao like this, but time has changed, and now it is Shen Che who is in charge of the palace and is no longer the Empress Dowager Qin, Wu Qianwen's identity is even more embarrassing than before, she is not a stupid person, so she naturally knows that she can't offend Yun Yao.

After Wu Qianwen left, Yun Yao did not hesitate and went directly to Changming Palace to show Shen Che. She has already done what she promised Wu Qianwen, and as for when Gu Qingming will go to see Wu Qianwen, it is not for her to decide.

But in Yun Yao's opinion, this matter should be sooner rather than later, anyway, sooner or later there will be a result.

In the past few days, Yun Yao has been preoccupied with the child, forcing herself not to inquire about Wu Qianwen's side. She originally thought that she could be as calm as before, but it is undeniable that Wu Qianwen's matter is indeed a knot in her heart, and she cares more about Gu Qingming's attitude.

After about four or five days, Gu Qingming finally arranged the guards of the capital, put everything back on track, and counted the number of soldiers who died in this civil war, and went to Changming Palace to tell Shen Che and ask for compensation for the soldiers.

Shen Che was very relieved of Gu Qingming's ability, and only glanced at it a few times in a hurry, then waved his pen and wrote the word "quasi". At the end, he mentioned what Yun Yao said:

"I heard that the Empress Dowager Jingduan gave you a marriage in the past, and the girl of the Wu family still lives in the palace, I know the relationship between you and Yun Yao, and I also know that you have never been a person who is not affectionate, and you have no interest in three wives and four concubines. If you have no intention of the Wu family girl, solve this matter as soon as possible, so as not to make Yun Yao sad. ”

Gu Qingming has been assisting Shen Che wholeheartedly in the past few years, and has been a secret envoy between Shen Ze and Shen Che to deliver the message, how could he have taken this marriage to heart? What's more, in his heart, all the women in the world are not as good as Yun Yao alone.

"How did Your Majesty know about Miss Wu?" Gu Qingming thought about it, but still asked more.

"A few days ago, Yun Yao reported to me. Shen Che said, "I heard that it was the girl of the Wu family who begged Yun Yao to come to Yun Yao, so she invited Yun Yao to go this way." Qingming, Yun Yao is a rare smart woman in the world, I can ascend the throne so smoothly, which is inseparable from her planning, not to mention that she is also Yingquan's best sister. It makes sense that I'm on her side. ”

Only then did Gu Qingming understand that because of his own negligence, he failed to solve Wu Qianwen's matter in advance, and actually let Wu Qianwen appear in front of Yun Yao, which was tantamount to adding to Yun Yao's blockage.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general knows what to do." ”

Shen Che nodded, and then waved his hand to let Gu Qingming go down. He has already said it thoroughly, Gu Qingming is a smart person, he will definitely understand what he means.

Let's say that Gu Qingming left Changming Palace, so he went directly to the side hall of Jianzhang Palace and found Wu Qianwen.

Because of Gu Qingming's dragon skills, his status in Daning has increased instead of decreasing, and he is more prominent than when Shen Ze was in power, even if he walked freely in the palace, no one said a word of gossip.

Soon, he arrived at Jianzhang Palace.

When Wu Qianwen heard that Gu Qingming was coming, she hurriedly ran to the mirror and looked at herself carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong, so she opened the door and walked out.

She has been waiting for Gu Qingming these days, so she dresses up very decently every day, but she is afraid that when Gu Qingming comes, she will not have time to prepare. In the end, the hard work paid off, and her preparation came in handy today.

Arriving at the main hall, Wu Qianwen looked at this man she hadn't seen for several years, and suddenly felt a little timid. But she only hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered: "General Gu." ”

Gu Qingming turned around and looked at the woman standing in front of him, a well-cut palace dress made her bright and moving, the heroic posture of the daughter of the Jiangmen in the past had disappeared without a trace, but there was more of the delicate and shyness of the daughter of the Daning Guimen.

He knew in his heart that Wu Qianwen's body must be specially dressed up for him to see, but he has never been a lustful person, and what he longed for in his heart was just Yun Yao, so Wu Qianwen's body was a waste.

What's more, in Gu Qingming's impression, Yun Yao rarely seems to wear such bright colors, and she doesn't like to dress up. She is always understated and just right, especially in front of him, always showing her most natural side, never deliberately, never forced.

Maybe this is in the eyes of a lover, even if Yun Yao's appearance is indeed not as good as Wu Qianwen's, and her background is not as decent as Wu Qianwen's, but in Gu Qingming's heart, there is no one in the world who can replace Yun Yao.

In the past, Gu Qingming could affirm his intentions, but now when he compares them, he understands better what he wants. So he didn't drag the mud and water, and said directly to Wu Qianwen:

"Miss Wu, I don't know if you still remember our agreement that day?"

Wu Qianwen's face turned pale, she looked at Gu Qingming in disbelief, pursed her lips, but couldn't say anything.

Why didn't she remember their original agreement? It was nothing more than that she pretended to be engaged to Gu Qingming and concealed the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager Qin, but Gu Qingming helped her protect those brothers in the southwest garrison and prevent them from being brought to death under Qin Yuankai's command.

That was General Wu's last wish, and in that situation back then, she could only take this move. If the southwest garrison really comes into the hands of Qin Yuankai, in order to preserve the strength of his own soldiers, Qin Yuankai will definitely use the southwest garrison to throw stones to ask for directions, no matter what war they will take.

What's more, with Empress Dowager Qin's suspicions, it was still a question of whether the southwest garrison could be preserved, and she didn't want her father's years of hard work to be in vain, so she decided to cooperate with Gu Qingming.

Gu Qingming is the real leader of the troops, he loves soldiers like a son, and the southwest garrison is in his hands, so it is not a disgrace.

Wu Qianwen originally thought that Gu Qingming agreed to get engaged, and she had not proposed to the Queen Mother and the Emperor to dissolve the marriage contract for so many years, so she still had a good impression of her, if it was decided today, she didn't have to be careful in front of the Empress Dowager Qin, it was the time to blossom and bear fruit, but Gu Qingming mentioned that agreement to her.

It's not so much an agreement as a deal, a deal that you want me to make.

"General Gu means ......"

"Empress Dowager Jingduan has passed away, our agreement is also completed, the southwest garrison is still the former southwest garrison, General Wu's hard work has not been in vain, and our marriage contract should naturally end. Gu Qingming said this unceremoniously, and he didn't leave Wu Qianwen with the slightest thought.

Wu Qianwen was sad in her heart, but she also knew that she was an orphan girl and could not change the result. But if she wanted to accept her fate like this, she was unwilling, so she asked again:

"Why doesn't General Gu want to follow this marriage contract to achieve good things?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Wu, Gu already has a place in his heart. Gu Qingming has never liked to drag mud and water in the love between men and women, so he is outspoken.

"The girl...... But from a famous family, dignified and gentle, can he be worthy of a person as talented as a general?"

"She came from a humble background and her identity is not obvious. ”

"So she...... But the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Roujia expression, can add fragrance to the general's red sleeves?"

"She doesn't know that, and she's not as glamorous as you think, but she's my life, the only person I cherish in my life. ”

"I realized, I was delusional before, so I packed up my things and left, and went back to Southwest County, where my home was. Wu Qianwen listened to Gu Qingming's answer, and couldn't help but be discouraged, "Take care, general." ”

Gu Qingming didn't say much, said "take care" to Wu Qianwen, and then turned to leave, the majestic back walked out of the palace gate, beautiful like a picture, deep in Wu Qianwen's heart.

Up to now, Wu Qianwen doesn't understand who Gu Qingming's sweetheart is? In the past, she used to think that it was the bright and moving Lu Yingquan, but now after listening to Gu Qingming's answer, she realized that what he loved was actually the woman she had never put in her eyes.
