As the princess of Xikun, Kun Yuyang personally stood up and gave a speech on Emperor Kun's thoughts.
Even the courtiers of Dongling were bound by the decadent dogmas such as the state of etiquette, and they did not want to be so passively beaten forever.
What's more, Yufu said that if they object again, let them go to the border to taste the suffering of the common people. It is hard to guarantee that Emperor Ning and Gu Hou will really agree to her just to please her.
For safety's sake, those who had objections also swallowed their opinions.
In any case, it was a victory, and the palace banquet continued to be held in a lively manner, until the people in the middle of the moon accompanied Emperor Ning to enjoy it, and then they went out of the palace and returned to their residences.
"Fortunately, Yin Shuo didn't get his way today. He still wants to label his father as violating His Majesty's national policy. It's really vicious!"
"Fortunately, we won the battle. Father was so bold this time, he actually crossed the boundary marker between the two countries and went to Xikun! I will ask my elder brother to tell me what it was like at that time!"
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi chattered, "Xiao Yufu, it's lucky to have you here today, how can we be stupid enough to compete with Yin Shuo? But how did you memorize the large sections of material in those history books?"
Yu Fu blinked, expressing doubts.
"Do you still need to memorize those things? I read it once, and then I wrote it down."
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi: "..."
"Thanks to Yu Yang today, if she hadn't spoken out as Princess Xikun, I might not be able to easily convince His Majesty and the courtiers."
When they came, the horses and carriages stopped outside the gate of the palace. As soon as everyone left the palace, a personal guard caught up with the carriage.
Isn't that the personal guard standing guard outside the gate of the mansion? Why are you here
"Miss, Fourth Young Master has something urgent to do, please go back home quickly!"
Yu Fu's heart skipped a beat, an ominous premonition shrouded his heart tonight, the previous affairs in the palace were full of twists and turns, isn't it over yet
"Go, go back to the house immediately!"
…
Gu Wenqing was waiting for them in the west wing. As soon as the three of them entered the yard, they felt the atmosphere was weird.
"Fourth brother, what happened?"
Gu Wenqing pointed to the letter on the table, "I don't know what it is, but it must be a major event! It was a letter from Immortal Valley to Yufu. In the past, letters from Immortal Valley to Yufu were never handed over to the mansion. , the person who sent the letter will not explain what the mansion said, this time is too abnormal."
While opening the letter, Yu Fu asked, "What did the messenger tell Fourth Brother?"
"He said that the matter is urgent and the frontier is in trouble, so he wants you to come up with a countermeasure!"
The four words "difficulty in the frontier" alone are enough to make Gu Wenqing lose his mind.
Yu Fu quickly opened the letter, first glanced through it quickly, then read it carefully for the second time with frowning eyes.
This is her habit of reading letters. You can tell whether the letter contains good news or bad news by looking at her expression after reading it for the first time.
Look at her frowning, the letter is not only bad news, but also very bad news!
"It's a letter from the second senior brother. Xikun general Liu Kuang lost this battle. There are many Xikun disciples in Immortal Valley. It is speculated that Liu Kuang will be replaced or even punished by Emperor Kun. And the one who replaced Liu Kuang as the main general..."
Yu Fu pursed his lips, "Second senior brother said that he got reliable news that the replacement is Kun Wushang."
"Kun Wu injured?!"
Gu Yi snorted exaggeratedly, "He has neither military merit nor talent. What qualifications does he have to be the chief general? Just because he is the prince of Xikun? I don't see what he has to lead troops to fight, except he can poison and pretend to be garlic." It's my job!"
"In terms of leading troops to fight, Kunwu's injury is definitely not as good as that of my father and elder brother, I'm afraid even Liu Kuang is not as good. But he can poison, which is scary enough."
Gu Xiang is not as optimistic as Gu Yi, recalling that when Gu Huaijiang was poisoned, Yu Fu refused to close his eyes to look up medical books for several days and nights, and he has lingering fears.
What if Kun Wushang used poison to harm Gu Huaijiang and the others
Yu Fu said: "Second Senior Brother was worried about this, so he wrote to me. You may not know that there are rules in Immortal Valley, Master doesn't like disciples participating in wars and court affairs in various countries. Kun Wushang used to be a disciple of Immortal Valley, I don't dare to be blatant. Now that he has left Immortal Valley, he has no scruples at all."
If you have scruples, you are so bold as to poison Gu Huaijiang's study, and Yin Shuo poisoned you with a knife to kill someone, if you don't have any scruples—
Got it
The shadow of the moon was slanting to the west, and the four people in Guhou's mansion didn't sleep well that night.
Gu Wenqing came out of the room with her clothes on, and wandered in the courtyard under the moonlight, her mind was in a mess.
All the adults in the family have left, and he is the oldest. Before leaving, Gu Huaijiang asked him to take care of his younger siblings, and he did.
But things on the front line... He was too weak.
After much deliberation, he unknowingly walked to the west wing, and he was shocked to find that the west wing was brightly lit.
Could it be that Yu Fu couldn't fall asleep
Gu Wenqing walked in through the hanging flower door, only to hear the main room's footsteps back and forth, and the maids seemed to be packing their things.
"Seeing that it's getting cold, pack some thick clothes for Miss and take them away, don't catch a cold."
"There are still snacks, bring more snacks for the miss, the frontier is desolate, what if you can't find a place to stay?"
"Miss, why don't you discuss it with the Fourth Young Master before deciding whether to go or not?"
Gu Wenqing stood outside the door, not having the courage to go in again.
I only heard Yu Fu's voice, with a mint-like smile, "No need, discuss it with fourth brother, he must be worried about the generals and the others, and he is also reluctant for me to travel long distances. Rather than making things difficult for him, it's better for me to make a decision directly."
