This time it wasn't good. The place guarded by the king of Zhennan was almost breached. If it weren't for a lieutenant general who made a timely countermeasure, I am afraid that it would have been lost.

When she got the news, the princess and Gu Wanyin were discussing making a skirt for Xizhao, and they were flipping huā at that time. I heard such a news.

The princess's complexion changed at the moment, Huo Ran got up and didn't even notice that the huā in his hand had fallen, and he only stared at the person who came to report the news: "What about the prince?" ”

Seeing the princess so nervous, Gu Wanyin was also taken aback, and hurriedly got up and pulled the princess and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, the prince will definitely be fine." ”

The princess shook her head: "The prince will not make such a mistake, and the deputy general ...... Nor can they transgress the Lord's place. "It looks simple, but it's never that simple. In Fang Cai's words, he didn't mention the king of Zhennan in half a word. What does that mean? As the coach, it is impossible for King Zhennan to be in this matter without making a sound at all.

The man who reported the news lowered his head, his face was not very good, and he hesitated for a long time before replying: "Back to the princess...... Lord Wang, he, he is nowhere to be found! ”

"What?!" Not only was the princess stunned, but even Gu Wanyin was stunned. The two looked at each other for a long time to digest this fact - but they still felt stunned, okay, how could they not be found? Or is it ...... The princess swallowed the sense of foreboding in her heart, stepped forward and stared at the messenger and asked, "Tell me, what is going on." How could it be missing? ”

The person who reported the news couldn't answer anymore, and he didn't know what the specific situation was at the border pass, so he could only reply: "My subordinates don't know what's going on, and the fold sent by this pass is unclear......

The princess was still waiting to ask again, but Gu Wanyin understood that she couldn't ask anything, so she waved her hand and asked the person to retreat first. Then he turned his head to appease the princess: "Mother, don't worry, everything will wait for the prince to come back, let's talk about it in total." I don't know exactly what that is. Even if you are in a hurry, it will not help......"

"Where can I sit?" The princess sighed, her eyebrows almost together, unspeakably worried.

Gu Wanyin couldn't say anything more to persuade her, so she had to tell the girl: "Go." Find someone to ask the prince to come back. At this time, only Zhou Ruijing can reassure the princess.

But before anyone really went to find it, Zhou Ruijing came in with a big stride. Gu Wanyin looked up and saw Zhou Ruijing, and her heart sank with joy and then sank again - Zhou Ruijing's face was calm, not very good-looking; It's rare to see him so angry and angry, it can be seen that ...... Not daring to think about it any more, she hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward: "Has the prince heard the news of the border pass?" ”

The princess also stepped forward. grabbed Zhou Ruijing's hand: "Lord Wang, is he okay?" ”

However, Zhou Ruijing didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the princess, helped the princess to sit down, and said, "Mother, don't worry, sit down first." ”

However, Gu Wanyin looked at him like this, and her heart became more and more worried. If it is good news, Zhou Ruijing can say it directly, so that the princess does not have to worry so much. But now it seems that it is not the same thing. But she didn't dare to show the worry in her heart completely. just carefully helped the princess to sit down, and then looked at Zhou Ruijing again.

Zhou Ruijing pondered for a moment, as if he had carefully considered how to speak. "Father...... He was indeed missing. Before the start of the siege. I couldn't find anyone, so I was replaced by the adjutant. Later, after the battle, I looked for it again, but I couldn't find my father. There were rumors outside that my father had defected to the enemy and committed treason. ”

These words are like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and when they fall into the air, they make people stunned. Every word, as if I couldn't hear it. She heard every one of Zhou Ruijing's words clearly, but when they were united, she didn't understand the meaning.

The princess was in a trance. But soon, he suddenly rebuked: "Nonsense! How could the prince do that?! The princess stared at Zhou Ruijing with burning eyes, as if she wanted to seal Zhou Ruijing's mouth - or did she think Zhou Ruijing was the one who spread rumors behind her back?

Zhou Ruijing stepped forward and shook the princess's hand, and comforted in a deep voice: "Mother, don't panic first, I have already sent someone to the border to find out the truth." Maybe it's a false positive, maybe it's something else, whatever. We all believed that my father would never do anything like that. ”

The princess nodded heavily, and kept looking at Zhou Ruijing: "No matter what, you must clear up this grievance for the prince!" There was no way he could have done such a thing! The princess's attitude was almost stubborn, and there was an awe-inspiring light in her eyes. I will not give up until I achieve my goal.

Zhou Ruijing naturally would not refute, nodded heavily, and said four words in a deep voice: "Mother rest assured." ”

The princess let go of her hand, but then she seemed to lose all her strength and suddenly collapsed in her chair. Gu Wanyin was startled, and hurriedly supported the princess hard, which made the princess barely fall. She knew in her heart that the princess was afraid that she was too anxious and frightened, so she couldn't breathe for a while. And even if he has Zhou Ruijing's guarantee, where can he really put his mind at ease?

Now that something like this has happened, Zhou Ruijing must be busy outside, Gu Wanyin thought about it and persuaded: "Mother has me here, let's go and do things." ”

"Well, you don't have to keep the door open for me at night, if so...... I'm just outside in the study to make do yiyè. Zhou Ruijing nodded in response, frowned slightly and glanced at the princess worriedly, but in the end she still strode out. This is not the time to waste time. What he didn't say was that the court is very chaotic now, and it can't be separated from people at all. If he wasn't worried about the princess, he wouldn't have hurried back to take a look.

Walking to the door, Zhou Ruijing turned around again and glanced at Gu Wanyin deeply: "If there is anything, you will send someone to look for me." If there is no outer study, go to the prince's mansion, otherwise it will be in the palace. ”

Gu Wanyin hurriedly responded, and then watched him leave without looking back, and hurriedly called the girl, helped the princess into the inner room together, and placed her on the bed. I had to suppress the anxiety and worry in my heart again, and carefully persuaded the princess.

Maybe it was overthinking, maybe it was too frightened, the princess seemed to be in a trance, and finally fell asleep in a daze; It's just that his brows have been furrowed, and he is not very stable. Gu Wanyin looked a little uneasy, and asked the girl to take out those calming pills and give the princess a pill.

Who knew that the princess hadn't settled down yet, but Danzhi came in in a hurry, and said in Gu Wanyin's ear in a low voice: "Princess Shizi, Yinlu quietly spread the word that the old lady's old illness has been committed, and the situation does not look good. Grandma Èrnǎi didn't know how, and told the old lady about the prince, and the old lady fainted on the spot. ”

Gu Wanyin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a doctor?" ”

"I have already been invited, and the second wife asked èrnǎi to kneel outside the courtyard, saying that if the old lady has something three long and two short, let èrnǎi milk go home by herself. It's just the meaning of Yinlu's words, and I don't think it's a good situation for an old lady. I want the princess to come over and have a look. Danzhi's voice was extremely low, lest it be heard. It's a bit of a rebellion—how can it make people think that she cursed the old lady?

And the princess's current situation, if she knows this, I'm afraid she will have to worry again.

Gu Wanyin pondered for a moment and instructed Danzhi: "You are here to guard the princess for me, and I will go and take a look at the old lady." If there's anything going on in the house, you can ask someone to come to me. I'll be right back. ”

Danzhi nodded: "The princess can go with confidence." ”

Gu Wanyin hurriedly went to the second room again. It is said that she should not go away at this time, but if the old lady is really sober and not good, she must go and see it here. Zhou Ruijing didn't say anything, he was not in the house at all at this time. The princess is like this, and no one can bear to let the princess work for anything, so she can only go alone.

All the way through the small corner gate, Gu Wanyin entered the second-room house, and without hesitation, she went directly to the old lady's courtyard.

She was in a hurry, but she didn't care so much. At this time, time is precious, and she can't wait to put on her wings and fly straight over. Walking so slowly, I was already anxious. If she didn't worry about her demeanor anymore, she would have just wanted to run all the way over.

The old lady's room was a little noisy, and before she entered the room, she heard the second lady's reprimand. Gu Wanyin paused, and after listening to it, she heard that she was scolding the girl for not serving well. After a slight hesitation, he glanced at the little girl next to him, and the little girl understood, so she went in first to tell her.

Then the sound in the courtyard suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Wanyin tidied up her skirt and slowly stepped into the old lady's yard. As soon as I looked up, I saw Gu Yingyin kneeling under the hibiscus tree under the window. Gu Yingyin lowered her head, she didn't know what she was thinking, Gu Wanyin only glanced at it and looked away, and then calmly walked into the room. In the room, the second lady sat with her face strained, and several girls stood with their hands down, and there were some traces of crying on their faces.

Gu Wanyin reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "I heard that the old lady had an old illness, so I hurried to take a look." In a hurry, I forgot to ask someone to come over and talk first. Second aunt, don't mind. ”

The second wife didn't smile, she glanced at Gu Wanyin coldly, and she didn't know whether it was sarcasm or what, and her words sounded a little yin and yang: "It's hard for you to be well-informed." ”

Gu Wanyin pursed her lips, but she didn't hear it, this is not the time to care about this. So at that moment, I asked again: "Is the Imperial Doctor here?" What happened to the old lady? ”;
