Gu Shubai's body was like a day by day, during which Emperor Kun sent countless envoys and held countless banquets, some of Yufu went, and some didn't.
She really didn't have the heart to go to those banquets, she just wanted to be by Gu Shubai's side, but diplomatic etiquette cannot be broken, if she didn't go to Kundi, she thought she would not show face.
Even though Bei Li's national power is so strong, he would not dare to do anything even if he didn't give Emperor Kun any face.
It is necessary to beat Kundi from time to time so that he does not dare to attack Gu Shubai, but also to make good friends with him without breaking etiquette, and the balance between advance and retreat must be just right.
If Emperor Kun held a state guest banquet in the palace, she would naturally dress up to attend it, but if she just sent royal family members to accompany her on a tour, she would probably find an excuse to refuse.
She was born with a weak and slender appearance, and the people of Xikun are big and three thick, and it's not worth it to worry that she will be exhausted, but she doesn't mind, Yu Fule has to accompany Gu Shubai in the mansion.
"Elder Sister said that the weather has been fine these few days, and it is suitable to go out and walk around."
Yufu pushed a bamboo chair with four wooden wheels underneath. This is something called a wheelchair made by a small island country. Yufu had seen it before when Yin Shuo's leg was injured.
Gu Shubai hadn't fully recovered yet, so she ordered someone to do something similar, so that Gu Shubai could sit on it, and she could push him out for a walk.
Gu Shubai looked around in the yard, "It's really boring to be confined in the secret room these days, it's a good thing to be able to go out for a walk, but why do you have to wear so many clothes for me?"
He lowered his head and gestured to Yufu for his clothes.
Yu Fu looked at him, only to see that he was still wearing a jacket in the warm spring season, and he was dressed in a bamboo chair with sky blue and pale yellow, which looked like a forest.
On the other hand, she herself was wearing a light spring dress, and the goose-yellow skirt fell to her feet in layers, which was extraordinarily elegant.
Yufu shook her head triumphantly, "Didn't you and the second elder brother do the same when you were young? You all wore thin clothes in the spring, and only let me wear a padded jacket. Today I only let you wear a jacket, what else do you have? Unconvinced?"
Gu Shubai recalled that when she was a child, she was chubby, wearing a thick wind-fur jacket and running in the snow, just like a ball.
But Yufu was very unconvinced at that time, always envious of his elder brothers who were martial arts practitioners, strong and strong, able to wear thin clothes and look graceful.
He couldn't help laughing, "Are you here to take revenge on me?"
Yu Fu stood behind him, bent down and leaned on the back of his chair, with her toes up and down, "It's not me, it's the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good."
She pointed to the sky with one hand, and Gu Shubai looked up at the sky, a piece of blue as if washed by water, with a few broken white clouds floating leisurely.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, the spring sun was already a bit dazzling, it was not suitable for a person like him recovering from a serious illness to look directly at it.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yu Fu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, "I have some good news for you, Cheng Fa has arrived in Lin'an, and now the entire Dong Ling Chao Hall is busy receiving Bei Li's envoys, Gu The Hou Mansion is safe for the time being. The General and the others are very happy to know that you are still alive."
It's just that Gu Huaijiang has been persuading Gu Shubai and Yufu not to return to Lin'an, and Yufu doesn't intend to tell Gu Shubai this, which will only increase troubles.
She knew very well that both she and Gu Shubai would definitely go back to save everyone in Guhou's mansion.
"It's indeed good news, but are you sure that this young man who was temporarily captured by you can do it?"
Yufu said that he was only eight years old, and Yuehu hated him, saying that he was a troublemaker, could such a young child really handle Yin Shuo
Yu Fu smiled and said: "I didn't expect him to do anything, it was just delaying time. We will go back to Dongling when you recover, so—"
She knelt down and looked into Gu Shubai's eyes, those bright eyes like morning stars were stained with frost, "Big brother, you must get well soon."
Gu Shubai smiled at her, subconsciously stroked her head, only to realize that the bun she wore today was extraordinarily gorgeous.
"Are you going out today?"
"Well, Emperor Kun is afraid that he can't bear it anymore, so he has to ask for conditions today."
Gu Shubai frowned suddenly, and looked at Yufu solemnly, "The diplomatic relations between the two countries and personal grievances should not be involved. If he puts forward excessive conditions, you should refuse or refuse, and don't ask for compensation for me, understand? ?”
Yu Fu said: "But I didn't represent Bei Li to make friends with Xi Kun, I just wanted to save you."
Gu Shubai didn't know how to respond for a while, was it really worthwhile for her to sacrifice the whole country to save herself
If Yufu agreed to Xikun's unequal conditions for him, would Yufu's father and queen see him in the future, would they blame him? What would Beili's courtiers think of him? Do you feel that not only did he fail to bring blessings to Bei Li, but he also caused them a huge loss...
Thinking of this, Gu Shubai frowned even more.
He wants to marry Yufu in an upright manner, instead of letting Yufu be criticized by everyone for him.
Yu Fu was vaguely aware of his thoughts, and softly comforted him: "Big brother, your worries are unnecessary. I knew from a very young age that I am the princess of Beili, not only the princess, but also the prince. Not only the prince..."
She choked up slightly, "Master took me away from Beili when I was born. He predicted that there would be chaos in Beili's court, and that I would be in danger if I stayed in Beili. What he said was not wrong. Formed a faction to usurp the throne, until the situation of separatism in various places. Both my father and mother passed away in that chaos, and now Bei Li has restored the national rule with the help of loyal and upright ministers in the court, and I—"
"In name, I am Bei Li's heir apparent, but in fact, I am Bei Li's empress."
Gu Shubai was stunned, and finally understood why Yufu, as a princess, could mobilize Beili's ministers and troops at will, and finally understood why the arrogant envoy Chen Jingxing was so considerate to Yufu, and finally understood why she was so helpful. Be sure to gain the upper hand in front of Kundi...
Beili's... empress.
This is what he did not expect, let alone that Yufu had such a rough life experience, that Beili, a seemingly extremely powerful country in the south, had encountered rebellion and conspiracy.
He stretched out his hands towards Yufu, opened his arms, "Come to me."
Yu Fu leaned over obediently, avoiding his wound carefully, and lay in his arms like a kitten.
He patted her back lightly with both hands, "Don't be sad, although you don't have a mother, you have a father. Guhou Mansion will always be your home, and we are all your family."
Yu Fuweng said in a low voice: "Elder Sister always laughs at me, saying that I don't want to go back to Immortal Valley because of my elder brother. In fact, I just like the affectionate look of the Guhou family. Still different."
Gu Shubai said: "Then when this matter is over, I can marry you in earlier, okay?"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and touched his chin, "It's just your identity..."
Yu Fu was taken aback, and quickly raised her head, "Big brother, you said the general knows my identity, will you not let you marry me?"
"How can it be?"
Gu Shubai nodded her forehead, with a doting expression on his face, "I was thinking, if I want to marry the empress of Beili, the betrothal gifts prepared by my father seem not enough..."
"Okay, you scared me on purpose!"
The two laughed and made a fuss, and the servants in the mansion who heard the laughter from a distance couldn't help smiling, and quietly left from a distance.
"Our Seventh Prince's Mansion has never heard such a good laugh."
"Yes, the princess of Beili and the eldest son of Dongling really have a good relationship."
The two little maids looked envious and were discussing in a low voice, when they suddenly saw Kun Wushang walking towards them, they immediately saluted, "Your Highness."
Kun Wushang hissed at the two of them, waved his hands, and the two retreated tactfully.
He took a few steps forward, leaned against the willow tree and looked not far away, and saw Yufu pushing Gu Shubai's wheelchair, with a long-lost smile on his face.
Brilliant as a flower.
That smile was exactly the same as the one he had seen many years ago, it was her innocent smile when she was a child, and her pair of crooked eyes seemed to contain the most beautiful scenery in the world.
After these years, he thought that Yufu had changed, from that innocent little poison fairy to an empress who was about to ascend to the throne, the innocence was not the same as before.
Unexpectedly, it was not her who changed, but the difference between the two of them. Her innocence was only shown in front of the person she really loved.
That person is Gu Shubai, not him Kun Wushang.
"Haven't seen enough?"
Gu Shubai suddenly turned his face and looked in the direction of a row of willow trees. Yufu saw Kunwu's injury at a glance, "Why is he there?"
Kun Wushang slowly came out from behind the tree, "My footsteps can be heard from so far away, it seems that you are not far from being completely healed."
Gu Shubai smiled, "The hearing has not recovered, but the sense of smell has not been damaged. I just smelled a strong smell of vinegar."
Kun Wushang's complexion froze, and the person who has always been generous blushed.
Yu Fu looked funny, but couldn't bear the two of them to tease him together, so he lowered his head and covered his mouth.
Not smiling makes Kunwu more embarrassed than smiling.
He hurriedly took out a gold-plated invitation card from behind him, "Father is hosting a banquet in the palace, let me accompany you into the palace. Originally, the prince was going to have a banquet, but I told him repeatedly that the prince's health has not recovered, so he gave up on this idea." .”
The implication is that Emperor Kun's banquet is aimed at Gu Shubai.
Yu Fu nodded, "I see, the originally expected time is today, it really is true."
She said to Gu Shubai: "Big brother, I will push you back first, and then enter the palace."
Kun Wu hurriedly took over, "You are also tired, let me push it, anyway, the prince has been taken care of by me not once or twice."
Gu Shubai glanced at him sideways, thinking in a daze of those days when Kun Wu hurt him and fed him medicine and water, so he was too embarrassed to tease him again.
With the kindness of taking care of him in just a few days, Gu Shubai owed him his whole life.
"What's going on with Kun Junyue?"
Kun Wushang pushed Gu Shubai, Yufu walked beside, and the three of them talked all the way.
When Kun Wushang heard Yu Fu's smile, he actually showed a smile, "East Palace sent someone to tell Father that there is no cure for Kun Junyue's poison, and hope that Father will put pressure on you to hand over the antidote. But Father is procrastinating over there, but he dare not come to you."
Yu Fu smiled, "I'm afraid it's not only because of Beili's national power that he dare not dare, but also because he wants to punish Kun Junyue. You Xikun has no shortage of princes who can inherit the throne. Compared with an excellent heir, Kun The emperor is more afraid of a prince who seizes power, right?"
Kun Wu nodded sadly, "That's right, but because of the affection between father and son, Father still asked Mr. Chen to ask him. Guess what Mr. Chen said?"
Yufu and Gu Shubai looked at each other, and the latter said: "Master Chen is Beili's noble envoy, he is very eloquent, and he is dignified and serious. I think he must have scolded Kundi's people angrily, and said that if If the poison on Kun Junyue's body is so easily detoxified, then what's the face of Prince Chu Beili? What's the face of the great kingdom of Beili?"
Kun Wushang: "... it's almost verbatim, did Mr. Chen tell you?"
Yu Fu covered his mouth and chuckled, "Elder Brother only met Mr. Chen once, and the two talked for only an hour, and Eldest Brother has figured out Mr. Chen."
Gu Shubai waved his hands and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? It's just that there are some fixed rhetoric, which are used by officials engaged in diplomacy. Talk to him a few more times, and it's easy to master his routine."
Kun Wushang snorted softly, "Old fox, no wonder you tricked Yufu into his hands."
…
Chen Jingxing went from the post house to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to meet Yufu, and entered the palace with Yufu and Kun Wushang, Gu Shubai watched them leave.
Yuehu leaned against the door crookedly, eating something in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging. She vaguely said: "Today's palace banquet is a grand banquet, are you worried? If you are worried, let me accompany Yufu into the palace. No one can hurt her with me."
Gu Shubai turned his head to look at her, only to see a swarm of white scum, which turned out to be the dried fruit scum that flew out of Yuehu's mouth while eating dried fruit while talking.
He fixed his cane on the ground, pushed his wheelchair a little away from Yuehu, "Master, didn't Yufu ask you to stay and take care of me?"
"But you're almost fine."
Yuehu pursed her lips triumphantly, "With me, the great disciple of Immortal Valley, able to rejuvenate, do you still need to worry about your little injury?"
Gu Shubai was about to thank her when he suddenly heard Yuehu say: "Of course, it mainly depends on your own cleverness. After being injured, you swallowed the panacea that Yufu gave you. You don't have to thank me. All the elixir will belong to me, and we will be even."
Is it even
Gu Shubai felt that he had lost money.
He pointed to the direction where Yu Fu left, "Does the eldest sister feel that the Seventh Prince's Mansion is boring, so you want to go into the palace?"
Yuehu murmured, "No wonder Kun Wushang said you are an old fox, you are quite good at people. Forget it, they are all gone, we are both bored. The moon will come up in a while, I will push you to the garden to watch the moon how?"
Gu Shubai shook his head, "I also think the Seventh Prince's Mansion is too small and boring, why don't we go to a bigger place to play at night."
As soon as he heard that there was something to play, Yuehu immediately smiled, "Where is it?"
"Liu Mansion."
Yuehu has been bored these days, changing Gu Shubai's medicine or checking his pulse every day, so he has long wanted to go out for a walk.
In Immortal Valley, she has cultivated a temperament that is lofty and wide-ranging, and she is the most unrestrained. It is interesting to hear that Liu's mansion is the home of the generals. The only regret is——
She looked down at Gu Shubai in the wheelchair, how could she have fun with a disabled person
"Let's talk about it first. If there is a fight or something later, I can't lift your chair. I can only grab you by the collar of the back of your neck and lift you into the air, and stop when you fly to a place where they can't see it."
Talking like this, she stroked her chin and looked at Gu Shubai, imagining how Gu Shubai's collar was being grabbed by her.
Compared with appreciating beauty, Yuehu appreciates the destroyed beauty more, not as embarrassed as a beautiful man like Gu Shubai whose image has been destroyed.
It's funny just thinking about it.
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "We won't fight, we didn't come to fight, we just came to play."
Yuehu pushed him to the gate of Liu Mansion, the night was like water, and Liu Mansion was peaceful, only the two faded red lanterns in front of the gate were still on.
It doesn't look like a splendid military general's house, but rather a veteran's mansion in the dying years.
"Come on, people from the Liu family don't want to play with you! Don't you think about it, the battle between the Gu family army and the Liu family army at the border was so tragic. I heard that the brothers and sisters of the Liu family were all demoted because of this battle. Seizing power and being suppressed by several other military sects. If they see you now, they will definitely want to eat you."
Gu Shubai said: "Casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies, but there is one thing you may not know. Seventeen years ago, Liu Yinyin, the most talented female general of the Liu family, died in the prisoner camp of the Gu family army."
"What?!"
Yuehu exclaimed, and then pushed Gu Shubai's wheelchair to leave, when he suddenly heard the door of the mansion open behind him, and someone yelled towards them—
"Who is there?!"
