Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times

Chapter 47

The smile only reached the corner of his mouth, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Gu Yun knew what Emperor Yu was thinking as a superior. It’s nothing more than not believing her and suspecting that she has ulterior motives.

“Father, the second prince kidnapped the princess and frightened her, causing her to give birth prematurely.” Gu Yun told the truth, his eyes turned a little cold: “The princess is my wife, and I can’t do anything to see her pain during childbirth.” , I can only think of bringing the culprit back as soon as possible…”

Words from the heart are always more touching.

Emperor Yu was not a cold and heartless emperor, he looked at the expression on Gu Yun’s face, and knew that she really felt sorry for Jianing and Zhaohua.

After most of the doubts in his heart dissipated, he asked again: “But you have never had experience, how can you lead troops out of Beijing? Are you not afraid that you will end up like General Gao?”

When it came to the end, his words were a little more serious: “You may even die directly, aren’t you afraid?”

These are commonplace in the battlefield.

Gu Yun knew that Emperor Yu was less wary of her, so he appropriately revealed some things that he had done in the past: “I was able to read and write when I was in Jin State. So after I was sent here, I often went to some The small academy… eavesdropping, reading and practicing calligraphy, and also saving some money in private to buy books to read, knowing a little bit about mobilizing troops and condemning generals.”

After three points of truth and seven points of lies, she quietly raised her eyes to look at Emperor Yu.

“Forget it, since you want to go, then I will let you use a false name and leave Beijing together with the army.” Emperor Yu remembered that Concubine Yuan Gui came to tell him that the person who kidnapped Jianing was dealt with by Gu Yun, so he I also guessed that maybe she had some boxing skills.

I don’t know where she learned it all.

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as her heart is towards Yu Guo, and she is sincerely feeling sorry for Jianing, then he is willing to give her a chance.

In this way, it might be possible to test how true her “sincerity” is.

“It’s just that Zhaohua was born not long ago, so you should not delay too long outside.” Emperor Yu thought that Gu Yun had already discussed this matter with Jianing, but he still set a deadline for her: “At most two You have to go back to Beijing within a few months. Otherwise, after a long time, I am afraid that Zhaohua will not recognize you.”

Speaking of Xing Xing, Gu Yun was extremely reluctant to give up on her. Speaking of which, she hasn’t hugged her since she was born.

“Yes, I will return to Beijing earlier.”

In this way, this matter is settled.

When the news reached the Princess Mansion, Gu Yun hadn’t come back yet.

At that time, Jiang Libai and Chunxi were choosing fabrics for cutting Xingxing’s skirt. When she heard the news, the material she was holding in her hand lost her grip and fell on the quilt.

She didn’t believe it, she turned her head and asked Qin’er: “The son-in-law is going to lead the troops out of Beijing?!”

Such a big deal! Why has Gu Yun never mentioned it to her? ! Why did she lead the troops out of Beijing?

“Yes, the son-in-law wants to catch the second prince himself, and will leave soon…”

Jiang Libai could no longer hear Qin’er’s words behind her, and now she was full of thoughts of Gu Yun leaving her.

She felt uncomfortable, and she felt sour, “Got it, you can go down.”

When Qin’er stepped back, Chunxi saw that Princess Seven’s hands holding the fabric were already clenched, and knew that she was probably feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.

“Princess.” She wanted to comfort the Seventh Princess: “The son-in-law is going to arrest the second prince, so he wants to vent his anger on you…”

Jiang Libai was restless, shook her head, and interrupted Chunxi in a low voice: “She probably wants to leave me.”

Chunxi didn’t dare to continue with these words.

She glanced at Little Xingxing, who was still soundly asleep, and planned to divert Seventh Princess’ attention.

“The little princess is almost full moon, and the son-in-law is thinking about the little princess, so he shouldn’t be away for too long.”

Jiang Libai was in no mood anymore, and grabbed a few pieces of comfortable material and put them in front of Chunxi, “That’s all, let’s make some skirts and hats for Xingxing.”

Chunxi didn’t speak any more, and retreated wittily holding the cloth.

The windows are half open, there is no cool breeze in the afternoon sun, only sometimes

And there were a few chirping birdsong.

Jiang Libai came to the window and looked at the open door in the yard, only the figures of servants passing by.

The weather is fine and the sun is soft.

After she stopped and watched for a while, a touch of melancholy spread from the corners of her eyes and brows. Before the familiar figure appeared, she raised her hand and slowly closed the window.

I don’t know whether Gu Yun returned here after leaving the palace, or went to her Jinping Palace to prepare to leave Beijing.

Xingxing had already woken up, she was probably full of sleep and not yet hungry, she was lying there by herself, her eyes open and she didn’t know what she was looking at.

Jiang Libai walked to the side of the bed, picked up the little quilt she kicked away and covered her again, and took her scratching little hand and squeezed it gently.

With her daughter’s company, Jiang Libai’s melancholy was much less just now.

The drooping brows and eyes are soft, and the corner of her mouth can’t help but smile slightly, making her look a little more gentle than before.

As soon as Gu Yun opened the door and walked into the back room, he was amazed by the scene in front of him.

The Seventh Princess just sat casually by the bed, with her soft blue hair half-tied and hanging behind her head, a few mischievous strands of hair fell on the side of her cheeks, making her white complexion, her outline soft and smooth, her shoulders and neck lines smooth and graceful , that inherent nobility is also mixed with a bit of lingering tenderness.

Gu Yun hadn’t seen such a happy expression on the face of the Seventh Princess for a long time.

She didn’t dare to disturb her, for fear of breaking her rare joy.

However, Jiang Libai had already heard the movement at the door, and turned her head to look over.

Her breathing was slightly stagnant, did Gu Yun come back?

She thought that Gu Yun would go to Jinping Palace, waiting to leave the capital…

Seeing Gu Yun’s tall figure standing at the door all the time, he didn’t speak, just looked at her quietly.

Jiang Libai had a sore nose, turned her face away quickly, and said in a low voice, “Where are you doing the pestle? Why don’t you close the door quickly, lest the wind blow in and chill the stars.”

Hearing this, Gu Yun hurriedly closed the door, and after a pause, she slowly came to the bedside.

With a sore throat, Gu Yun’s voice was low and hoarse: “Princess, I’m going out of Beijing for a while.”

Jiang Libai sat beside the bed, enveloped by her breath, the sadness and anxiety in his heart slowly overflowing.

“Bengong already knows.” At this moment, she felt that she had a lot of words to say to Gu Yun, but after falling to the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them all.

He only said dryly, “Don’t get hurt.”

Her voice was extremely low, but Gu Yun could hear it clearly.

The princess…are you worried about her?

Realizing this, Gu Yun felt an inexplicable secret joy in his heart.

She reached out, wanting to hug her. But thinking that the princess hadn’t forgiven her yet, he had no choice but to suppress such inappropriate thoughts.

Jiang Libai looked at her slightly raised hand, her fingers were slender and well-proportioned, the faint blue veins were clearly visible, and the slightly curved joints revealed that her master seemed to be trying to hide something.

Seeing that Princess Seven’s gaze fell on her hand, Gu Yun simply stretched it forward and said, “I haven’t hugged her since she was born.”

“Can I hug her before I go?”

Warm light came through the window and gathered around Gu Yun’s body. There was a faint mist in the cold and indifferent eyebrows, and there was an irresistible light dancing in the shadows.

Jiang Libai bit her lip, hugged the soft little star, and gently placed it in Gu Yun’s arms.

When the fingertips touched, the numbness spread to the back, and Jiang Libai trembled all over, but she didn’t dare to withdraw her hand, so she had to bite the bullet and teach Gu Yun bit by bit how to hold the star more firmly.

“…She is still very young, you can’t use too much force…”

Gu Yun listened carefully, and hugged Xing Xing in his arms according to the posture taught by Jiang Libai.

The little baby is like a soft ball, exuding a faint milky fragrance, and occasionally waving her little hand will accidentally touch Gu Yun’s arm.

This made Gu Yun’s heart burst with joy, which was an experience she had never had before.

She never thought that one day, she would be able to hold her own child in her arms.

It was rare for Jiang Libai to see such an touched expression on her face.

Seeing Gu Yun hugging Xing Xing cautiously and full of joy, her heart trembled slightly, she couldn’t hold back for a while, and pulled Gu Yun’s cuff, “You have to come back soon…”

Before she finished speaking, she realized what she was talking about.

She paused, and quickly let go of her hand.

Gu Yun raised her head, just in time to see Jiang Libai turning her face to the side, a touch of blush on the tips of her small ears.

“Princess, you don’t want me to leave you for too long, do you?”

Such blunt words made Jiang Libai’s body a little stiff.

She lowered her eyebrows and pretended to tease Little Xing Xing, “What do you mean I don’t want to leave you for too long? Don’t put gold on your face.”

“I’m worried that if you don’t come back, Xing Xing won’t kiss you in the future.”

Jiang Libai’s attitude gave Gu Yun a glimmer of hope.

She looked at her earnestly, and asked clearly: “The princess still wants to make peace with me?”

She focused all her energy on Jiang Libai’s body, and didn’t notice that little Xingxing’s head was a little crooked.

Jiang Libai hurriedly supported Xing Xing, raised her head and glared at Gu Yun: “Can you hold Xing Xing steady? You are absent-minded, what if she falls down?”

After training Gu Yun, she was still worried, and directly hugged Xing Xing from Gu Yun’s arms, carefully holding her firmly.

Gu Yun stood there helplessly, “I will pay attention next time.”

At this moment, the cold and alienated atmosphere between the two of them dissipated a lot.

It seems that there is a sense of joy when they get along with each other tacitly before.

“Knock, knock, knock—” Chunxi didn’t hear any movement in the house, so she knocked on the door.

“Princess, it’s time for the son-in-law to go.” She knew that the princess and the son-in-law must have a lot to talk about, so she had just helped the son-in-law pack up the baggage to take away.

Time was running out, but Gu Yun was still standing there, his eyes fixed on Jiang Libai’s body.

Seems to be waiting for an answer.

At this time, Jiang Libai finally looked at Gu Yun, and she couldn’t express her state of mind at this moment with a thousand words.

She knew what Gu Yun was waiting for.

After gritting her teeth, she let herself go, and let go: “You are about to leave Beijing, how can I reconcile with you? Let’s talk about it when you come back. If you behave well, I can give you one Chance.”

In an instant, the breeze blows, and the flowers bloom everywhere.

The haze in Gu Yun’s heart was also blown away, giving birth to a little joy.

“Then I’m leaving.” With a smile on her lips, she took two steps forward, and without Jiang Libai’s consent, she held her shoulders and hugged her weakly.

Jiang Libai blushed and struggled: “Don’t cover the stars!”

Only then did Gu Yun let her go, touched Little Xingxing’s little hand again, leaned over, and kissed her tender little face tenderly, “Good Xingxing, stay at home and wait for mom to come back.”

Little Xingxing’s body was mixed with the faint fragrance of the seventh princess, lingering on the tip of Gu Yun’s nose, which made her feel more satisfied.

The princess did not reject her approaching.

Gu Yun swept away the previous decadence, and his whole body began to exude a cheerful look, “I’m leaving.”

No matter how reluctant the princess and daughter were, Gu Yun had to leave.

She walked to the door and opened the door.

“Gu Yun.” Seeing that figure was about to step out of the room, Jiang Libai was in a hurry and called her.

But when she stopped and looked at her with narrow eyes, she didn’t know what to say.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Libai’s heart was beating extremely fast. She said indiscriminately, “Xing Xing, her title was given by her father, and I took her nickname. You can give her the rest of her first name.”

The name of the stars…

Gu Yun frowned and thought, and after a while, a name was spinning on the tip of her tongue.

“Starry night.”

“Jiang Xingwan.”

There was no time left, after Gu Yun took the name of Little Xing Xing, he strode forward

Stepping out of the door, the thin and thin figure slowly disappeared through the closed door.

Jiang Libai hugged Xing Xing and whispered: “Jiang Xingwan?”

Why did you follow her surname?

Although she teased Gu Yun before, saying that she married Gu Yun, she was just joking.

After all, in front of outsiders, Gu Yun is a man, so it should be her who married her.

But why did Gu Yun give Xing Xing the name Jiang?

Not long after this question lingered in Jiang Libai’s mind, she learned the answer.

From the letter sent to her by her mother and concubine, she found out that Gu Yun had already asked her father to give her the identity of a native of Yu country before she gave birth, and also allowed her to enter the royal family as a native of Yu country.

So now… In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Yun is the married son-in-law…

It was precisely because Gu Yun had the identity of a native of Yu country that her father reluctantly agreed to her request to lead the troops out of Beijing this time.

Just listening to what her mother and concubine said, the emperor was not very relieved of Gu Yun. The people sent to arrest Jiang Shen also kept vigilance against Gu Yun secretly to see if she had any other intentions.

This gave Jiang Libai a headache.

She knew that Gu Yun was not really from Jin, she came from the stars… um, a fairy? Not a normal person anyway…

But she won’t have any dissatisfaction, she can be sure of that.

It’s just that she couldn’t say a thing or two to the concubine mother and emperor father about these words.

I can only hope that those people don’t make things too difficult for Gu Yun.

As for… worrying, in fact, she wasn’t too worried about Gu Yun’s life.

She thought, Gu Yun is probably a fairy, and she has sparkling supernatural powers, so she shouldn’t die easily… right?

“Wow…” I don’t know if she sensed her mother’s departure, Xiao Xingxing pursed her mouth and began to cry.

Jiang Libai put away those weird thoughts, sat on the side of the bed, unbuttoned her collar, coaxed little Xingxing, and fed her rations.

With rations, little Xingxing stopped crying and sucked hard.

…

Before it was too late, the army ordered to pursue the Second Prince was already waiting in the suburbs.

The leader of the army is Zhang Qi, the chariot general appointed by Emperor Yu, and there are two lieutenants, one is Gu Yun, who has no real power but just a false name, and the other is Song lieutenant, who is stationed on the northwest border.

What Emperor Yu meant was that since Jiang Shen was headed for Yunguo in the northwest, he should attack from both sides. General Zhang chased after him, and Deputy General Song surrounded him with five thousand elite soldiers. We must capture that **** back to the capital!

So time was urgent, after Gu Yun and Zhang Qi met, they rode their horses and galloped away, left the capital directly, and rushed towards the place where the army was stationed.

Along the way, Zhang Qi sized up several times the seventh son-in-law who was riding on the horse without any fluctuations in expression.

Her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were determined. She didn’t look like those little dandies who only confuse their merits with soft food.

After hearing that the deputy general accompanying the army was the son-in-law of the seventh princess who had no sense of presence, although Zhang Qi felt puzzled and helpless, this was the emperor’s intention, and he had to obey.

So the aggrieved anger was transferred to the seventh consort.

At first, I thought that she was also trying to make some achievements, and she was a good-looking little boy, but I didn’t expect that after riding for so long, she never yelled that she was tired!

Zhang Qi’s perception of her was a little better, but only a little bit better.

In his heart, Gu Yun is still a little boy who can’t lift his hands and can’t resist, and eats soft food but still has a good face.

There was no expression on his face, he just flicked his whip and picked up the speed again.

Gu Yun only noticed a slight change in the mood of the chariot general Zhang Qi, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Anyway, she just followed him now.

Seeing that his back was getting further away, Gu Yun raised his horsewhip and speeded up to follow.

Zhang Qi glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and was suddenly a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this kid could keep up… Zhang Qi looked away casually, ignoring her.

In the evening, several people joined the army.

Zhang Qidian

A thousand cavalry marched towards the northwest at a high speed again.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by General Gao did not return to Beijing, and Vice General Chen took over temporarily, waiting for Zhang Qi to take command.

So Zhang Qi didn’t order too many soldiers and horses at this moment.

In order to hurry up, I went forward without resting after eating along the way, and went on my way again when I rested for three or four hours at night.

Three days later, Zhang Qi led a thousand cavalry to the front of Vice General Chen.

After handing over everything, Zhang Qi took the news that the scouts had inquired and pondered carefully in the camp.

There are many mountains in the northwest of Yu Kingdom, and there are not many roads to go to Yun Kingdom, and almost all of them have to climb over continuous high mountains.

The topographic map of the northwest was spread out in front of him, and he studied the several roads that General Gao had marked out before.

“This road is the most rugged and dangerous, so General Gao thinks that the second prince will not go here…”

Deputy General Chen pointed on the map, and briefly explained General Gao’s thinking to Zhang Qi.

After seeing all the routes above, Zhang Qi was confident, and directly ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to advance by the most rugged road, and ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to surround them from a snake-shaped valley.

There are not many Jiang Shen’s men left now. According to the scouts’ information, Jiang Shen’s men are now in the high mountains ahead.

Zhang Qi feels that this matter is very sure, and the second prince will be caught probably in the next day.

In the other tent, Gu Yun had nothing to do, after looking around casually, he walked out.

She came here to grab Jiang Shen’s idiot with her own hands.

It’s not for sightseeing.

Walking along the main road to the main tent, Gu Yun let the soldiers waiting outside the tent go in to communicate.

After getting permission, Gu Yun lifted the curtain of the tent, lowered his body, and walked in.

“The seventh son-in-law came to see the general, what’s the matter?” Zhang Qi didn’t raise his head, his voice was neither salty nor weak.

Gu Yun didn’t care about his attitude, and cupped his hands at him: “I came with the army for only one purpose, which is to capture the second prince with my own hands.”

“I don’t know what is General Zhang’s next arrangement? When can I leave?”

Hearing this, Zhang Qi, who was still looking at the topographic map, frowned and looked up at her.

“The battlefield has no eyes, and the Seven Princes are delicate and expensive, it’s better to stay in the camp.”

Seeing that Gu Yun seemed to be still insisting, he lowered his voice and said: “The Seventh Son-in-law wants to make achievements, so he can just stay in the camp with peace of mind, and he doesn’t have to go to the front line to suffer.”

He just wanted to quickly get rid of this little boy who was eating soft food, so he simply made his words clear.
