The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the people who watch the lanterns in the city are returning home one after another, and the street is much quieter.
Princess Danyang was sitting in her room doing needlework, when she suddenly thought of something, she raised her head and asked Tian'er, "Has Ji Wei not come back yet?"
Tian'er looked out of the courtyard, and there was silence, only the lanterns in the mansion were shining brightly.
"I think he hasn't come back yet, otherwise there must be some movement."
Princess Danyang frowned slightly, "Why didn't you come back so late, did something happen?"
Tian'er pursed her lips and snickered, "She went out to enjoy the lanterns with the people from Guhou's Mansion, maybe she lived in Guhou's Mansion directly when it was too late, and it's not like she hasn't lived there before."
Princess Danyang got up when she heard the words, "No, if she doesn't come back to live, she will definitely send someone back to inform her. What's more, living in Guhou's mansion was a last resort. How can an innocent daughter live in someone else's mansion at will? Ji Yu is not Such a disrespectful person."
She walked out of the courtyard, and Tian'er hurriedly followed behind, "Where is the princess going?"
"I'll take a look outside the second gate. If Ji Qiang still hasn't come back, I'll send someone to Guhou's mansion to find out."
The two master and servant went all the way to the second door, and suddenly saw a thin old man standing in the light and shadow in the distance, pacing slowly there.
Yin Jizheng could tell at a glance that this person was Yin Yan, she went up to greet him and gave a blessing, "Old Prime Minister."
Yin Yan arched his hands towards her, "Why did the eldest princess come out?"
Princess Danyang said: "I heard that Ji Kui hadn't returned to the mansion yet, so I was a little worried, so I came out to meet her. Is the old prime minister also waiting for her here?"
Yin Yan didn't expect that Princess Danyang would go out late at night for Yin Jixie, she still had the heart to love her sister-in-law. His cloudy eyes looked towards the outer study room, where the lights were brightly lit, but Yin Shuo didn't move at all.
In his eyes, is Yin Jiyi still his sister
Yin Yan sighed, "Forget it, I heard the news that His Majesty met an assassin when he went out on patrol tonight. I heard from people in the palace that His Majesty went out with people from Guhou's Mansion, and so did Ji Yao."
Princess Danyang was shocked and said: "Then what's the matter with His Majesty? What's the matter with the people of Guhou Mansion and Ji Qiang?"
Yin Yandao: "Your Majesty has already returned to the palace. Although he was injured, his life will not be harmed. The rest of the people don't know yet. I have already sent someone to Guhou Mansion to pick up Ji Yao. Princess, please go back at ease."
Yin Jiqian once said to Princess Danyang that her father and brother controlled her in every possible way, rarely letting her go out, but often using her to achieve some goals in the court.
Yin Yan treats her better than Yin Shuo, but only better, there is no difference in essence.
However, what Princess Danyang saw tonight was an old father who cared about his daughter, stumbling around in the night, waiting for his daughter to come back.
Perhaps it was because he was old and finally realized the value of family affection, or maybe it was Yin Shuo's rebellion that made him realize the benefits of Yin Jixie, so there was this change.
She felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that she once had a father who doted on her, but now she has nothing...
Her voice choked, "I'll wait here with the old prime minister. If Ji Kui gets injured, my servant girl and I can take better care of her."
Yin Yan thought that this was indeed the truth, so she didn't stop her. After a while, she only heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the servants carried the sedan chair into the mansion.
The two immediately went up to meet her, only to see that Yin Jiqian walked down with no one to support her, so she was not injured.
Princess Danyang took a closer look at her face, she was in good spirits, not only did not appear sick and pale, but was a little annoyed, "Ji Yan, are you not injured? Why are you so angry?"
Yin Jizhen first saw Princess Danyang, and then saw Yin Yan standing behind Princess Danyang, she was stunned, "Father."
Yin Yan nodded lightly, turned around and walked to the upper room, "Since you are not injured, let's talk after entering the room."
Princess Danyang guessed that he wanted to know what happened tonight, so she walked towards the upper room with Yin Jiyu, and the servants brought three cups of hot tea. After Yin Jiyu drank the tea, Yin Yan spoke slowly.
"I heard that His Majesty was assassinated tonight, are there any casualties in the accompanying people?"
Not knowing what Yin Yan mentioned, Yin Jizheng's calm face became annoyed again, "No, Your Majesty is fine, only Prince Guhou was injured."
Princess Danyang was taken aback, "What kind of injury did he get?"
Yin Yan looked at her subconsciously, Princess Danyang felt impolite, and hurriedly lowered her head and drank tea to cover her past.
Yin Ji said: "It's just that the assassin cut his arm while protecting His Majesty, it's not a serious problem. When the eldest son and third son of the Guhou Mansion were fighting the assassin to the death, Yu Fu led His Majesty to jump off the building and hid under the bridge hole At that time, the second son and I were admiring the lanterns on the street. After hearing the news, the second son immediately gathered the patrolling soldiers to arrest the assassins who chased near the bridge hole."
"I didn't expect His Majesty... he would still be in the mood to think about dirty things at such a time, and belittle Yufu. Yufu couldn't bear the humiliation, so he beat up His Majesty, and now the guards are probably going crazy."
Princess Danyang almost lost her grip on the teacup, "What did you say? Yufu... Yufu beat up the emperor in front of everyone?"
"That's right, how could His Majesty treat those who sacrificed their lives to protect him like this, it's truly ungrateful!"
"Ji Yao!"
Yin Yan stopped her words in time and insulted His Majesty in front of Princess Danyang, which was too outrageous. It seems that after he came back from Minzhong, he found that Yin Jiyu's temperament had changed a lot from before.
In the past, she was a gentle and gentle lady, but now she has become more courageous, and her temperament has become more and more open-minded. But that's fine, if she had the temper she used to be, I'm afraid she would cry every day because of the scar on her forehead.
The most important thing is to be able to live in peace now.
Yin Jixiu stopped her voice in time, and Princess Danyang smiled comfortingly at Yin Yan, "Don't mind the old prime minister, what Jiyi said is the truth, what the emperor did is really too much."
Yin Jizheng suddenly said to her: "Danyang, do you think His Majesty will punish Yufu? I heard that when His Majesty was sent back to the palace, his head and face were covered in bruises. He is in so much pain tonight that he can't get over it tomorrow. Will you make an order to arrest Yufu when you recover?"
Princess Danyang thought about it, and she was not sure whether Ning Chengzhi would arrest Yufu, "As the only direct son of the first emperor, the emperor has been pampered since he was a child, let alone being beaten, no one dared to touch him. .Yufu was probably the only one who beat him since he was a child, and he was so badly beaten..."
Yin Jiqian was anxious, and turned to Yin Yan again, "Father, please help Yufu, don't let His Majesty arrest her for questioning! You go into the palace and beg for mercy from Your Majesty, okay?"
Princess Danyang and Yin Yan fell silent at the same time, Yin Jixie looked at this and that, feeling sad.
One of them is an old official who resigned from office, and the other is an eldest princess who has fallen out of favor. They seem to be of high status, but in fact they are already speechless in front of the imperial court.
Yin Jixie's eyes lit up suddenly, "I'll go to ask Big Brother, Big Brother has liked Yufu for so long, he will definitely save Yufu!"
Princess Danyang quickly raised her head to look at Yin Jiyu, her eyes were full of disbelief.
Yin Shuo likes Yufu
When did this happen and why did she never know? !
Yin Jiyu didn't pay attention to Princess Danyang's expression in a hurry, and just ran out of the study, Yin Yan said in time, "Stop."
She looked back at Yin Yan suspiciously, and the latter said in a deep voice, "No one needs to plead for Princess Zhenjiang, this is really helping her."
…
In the middle of the night, Gu Shubai's room was lit, and Yu Fu was giving him medicine.
His clothes were half off, revealing his injured right arm and shoulder, and a long gash on his upper arm.
Yu Fu carefully poured the powder on it, "Fortunately, although the wound is long, it is not deep. These people from the rivers and lakes are quite kind, and there is no poison on the sword."
Gu Shubai felt that she was overly cautious when he saw her applying the medicine for himself, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "The martial arts of these people in the world are not low. , It’s really hard to play. If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t be able to hurt me.”
After Yufu applied the medicine to him, he wrapped it up layer by layer with gauze, and finally tied a knot that was neither tight nor loose.
Gu Shubai put on his clothes, "It's you, you beat up His Majesty in front of everyone today, I'm afraid the news will spread throughout the imperial capital tomorrow morning. With His Majesty's competitive nature, he may not let it go .”
Yu Fu smiled and said: "Do you mean that he will send an order to arrest me? That would be perfect."
Gu Shubai knew that this was her idea, and the two of them agreed, "You have so many opportunities to punish him secretly, but you want to beat him in front of the guards, just to make him have to punish him for the sake of face. Your sin, isn't it?"
Yu Fu nodded, "Presumably there will be a decree tomorrow morning, if not, let the soldiers in our house go out and spread rumors, the more people know the better."
Gu Shubai's eyes lit up, "The more people know about it, the more His Majesty's face will be damaged. Even if he is reluctant to convict, he will have to convict. At that time, I will see in what name he will set up a criminal he has punished. Women are queens. It's just..."
He hesitated, and Yu Fu thought he was worried that he would suffer if he was convicted, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, my fists and kicks look scary, but they are not serious. Even if they are punished, they will not endanger their lives. At most, they will deprive me of my eldest princess." The title and fiefdom, demoted to a commoner, that's what I want."
Once demoted to a commoner, Ning Chengzhi has no name to make her his queen.
But Gu Shubai said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried that Ning Chengzhi may not be willing to punish you. If he really annoys you, I'm afraid he will kill you when the second brother and the others rush tonight. You were arrested, but he didn't."
Yu Fu frowned slightly, thinking about the matter of him protecting her in front of the assassin tonight, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Gu Shubai said was extremely possible.
She was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, "If this is the case, it will be bad, and you can't run away even if you beat them. Do the brothers and sisters in the royal family suffer from abuse?"
Princess Danyang was abused like that by Yin Shuo, she had the opportunity to leave the prime minister's mansion, but she insisted on refusing to leave.
Ning Chengzhi was first scolded by Yu Fu, and then beaten up in public by her. If he still had his heart set on her, it would be a real maltreatment disease.
Gu Shubai touched the back of her head, and the warmth from his palm reassured her, "Don't be afraid, I will never let you be snatched away by another man."
…
Princess Danyang walked out of the courtyard of the upper room in a trance, like stepping on cotton under her feet.
She remembered that when Yu Fu first arrived at Guhou's mansion, she treated this little girl as her future sister-in-law, knowing that everyone in Guhou's mansion from Gu Huaijiang to the next one liked her, so she didn't dare to be too negligent—
Even though Yufu is just a picked country girl, their identities are very different.
It wasn't until later that she realized that Gu Shubai's love for her was not only for her younger sister, but also more important than her being the first princess. Yufu gradually became a rival in love in her eyes.
Later, when Gu Huaijiang wanted to make an engagement for the two of them, Gu Shubai would rather refuse herself and marry Yufu, she was so sad that she couldn't help it.
Unexpectedly, history repeated itself again, it was still her and Yufu, and it was still the man she liked.
It's just that it changed from Gu Shubai to Yin Shuo.
Yin Jixie said, elder brother has liked Yufu for so long, how long has it been
If it was long before they got married, then why did Yin Shuo marry her, why did he say those grateful words to the first emperor in Darui Palace, why did he pretend to marry him for a reason
Yufu, Yufu...
She didn't even have the strength to hate Yu Fu, she just felt chills all over her body.
Ning Chengzhi kept saying in front of the princes and nobles in the court that Yufu was the most honorable woman in Dongling, and even she, the eldest princess who was born in the first place, had to stay behind.
Yufu is the most noble, at the age of cardamom, and has great prestige in the court, and the common people only know the princess of Zhenjiang, but who knows the princess of Danyang
