The woman took off her veil, and it turned out to be Yu Fu.
That day they were arguing in the carriage whether to abandon the guard of honor and rush to the imperial capital first, no one wanted Yufu to take risks, even Gu Shubai agreed with Chen Jingxing's statement, but Yufu insisted on coming early.
Gu Shubai and Yuehu had no choice but to accompany her. They entered the city gate at dawn today, only to find out that Ning Chengzhi had sent Mr. Chi to the prison of Dali Temple. They waited outside Dali Temple for a long time but did not see him. Eunuch Chi came out.
They only saw that Yin Shuo ordered people to escort Gu Huaijiang and others out, at that moment they finally confirmed that Yin Shuo was determined to put everyone in Guhou's residence to death.
That being the case, I had no choice but to make a risky move, but I didn't expect that there would be so many variables in the execution ground.
First, he saw Ji Chengfa's people ambushing in the crowd, and then found that there were people other than Bei Li in ambush, which were Ning Xuan's group.
Then it was Yin Jiyu who risked her life to hold Yin Shuo hostage, causing chaos in the execution ground.
Chen Jingxing then rushed to the palace and coaxed Ning Chengzhi out of the palace with an empty sedan chair. He knew that only when Ning Chengzhi appeared in person would Yin Shuo stop.
Hearing his title, Yu Fu knew that the person in front of him was Ji Chengfa, she leaned over and patted his head with a smile, "You are Chengfa?"
Ji Chengfa shyly dodged, and was touched by Yufu reluctantly, "Sister Yufu, why are you here? The sedan chair is empty, and I was shocked when I opened it!"
Fortunately, he cleverly closed the car curtain immediately, which prevented Ning Chengzhi from seeing the flaw.
Yu Fu looked around and hissed at him, "This is not a place to talk, let's go, let's go back to the Hou Mansion!"
Gu Huaijiang and others have been sent back to the Marquis Mansion, there are heavy guards outside the mansion gate, seeing Ji Chengfa and a group of Beili people coming, they dare not stop them, they let the way out.
In the room, Gu Jiuge was bandaging Gu Hanmo's wound. His cut arm was bleeding continuously, and the blood flowed down the green brick floor to the outside of the door.
Gu Jiuge's head was covered with sweat, "Hurry up and get the golden sore medicine, if the blood doesn't stop, third brother's arm will be useless!"
Gu Hanmo was lying on the couch, pale due to excessive blood loss, and could not make a sound from his dry lips.
"let me!"
A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and everyone was taken aback for a moment, turning around to see a woman in white with a white gauze running towards the house.
She rushed to the side of the couch, not knowing what medicine to give Gu Hanmo, then took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve and sprinkled the white powder on his wound.
Everyone couldn't believe it for a moment, the woman in front of them was taller and thinner than Yu Fu.
Is she Yufu
"Yu Fu? Is it really you?"
"it's me."
Yu Fu lifted the veil immediately, took a hasty look at everyone, and confirmed that none of them were injured, so she was relieved.
Everyone was overjoyed to see her face, they knew that Gu Hanmo's injury would be fine with her.
Sure enough, the blood from Gu Hanmo's wound gradually stopped, and his eyes finally stopped being distracted.
"Sister Yufu, wait for me, I'm exhausted."
Ji Chengfa's calf couldn't sprint with Yufu, so he ran in panting after struggling to feed, leaning against the door with an aggrieved expression on his face.
He calls Yufu his elder sister, what is the relationship between them
Yu Fu could see all kinds of doubts in everyone's mind, so he said: "Big brother is safe, he is in the city now, and senior sister is protecting him. I have more important things to go out now, this is the medicine for the wound of the third brother , one bottle for external application and one bottle for internal administration.”
She handed the medicine bottle to Gu Jiuge, then knelt down on the ground and bowed to Gu Huaijiang, "General, I know you must have a lot of doubts, please allow me to explain to you when I come back."
Gu Huaijiang lifted her up with his own hands, with a loving father's concern in his eyes, "You go, don't worry about us."
Yu Fu nodded, gave Ji Chengfa a look, and quickly left the door. Ji Chengfa saw her running out and complaining, "Sister Yufu, I just came in..."
She left quietly at the beginning, but now she came back in a hurry and left in a hurry, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
After a while Gu Jiuge said: "Father, why didn't you stop her?"
Gu Wenqing also said: "Yes, what if she does something dangerous?"
Gu Huaijiang shook his head, "She has grown up, she has her own ideas, and she has her own things to do. My father never wanted to turn Guhou Mansion into a cage to restrain her, but her strong backing. Even if this backing is broken, At least it can't be her hindrance."
Everyone seemed to understand Gu Huaijiang's words, but Gu Jiuge suddenly thought of something, "The hidden weapon that hit the executioner's sword twice on the execution ground, could it be Yufu's silver needle?"
…
When Ning Chengzhi returned to the palace, he was very upset at the people in front of him.
One was Yin Shuo who blatantly violated the imperial decree, the other was Yin Jigui who boldly hijacked Yin Shuo, and the other was Chen Jingxing, an envoy of Beili with an arrogant face.
The most hateful thing is that Prince Beili is still sitting in the sedan chair and can't come out!
The Chinese and military ministers in the hall talked a lot, but Beili and his party didn't respond, they looked like they regarded the Dongling Hall as their own home.
Ning Chengzhi was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, and he had to say nicely: "Now we are in the palace, there are no idlers waiting, can your Highness get out of the sedan chair?"
Chen Jingxing took a step forward, "I'm sorry Emperor Ning, your country has just seen blood, and our Highness can't get out of the sedan chair to get bad luck, please forgive me."
This conceited prince of Beili just refused to get out of the sedan chair, he refused to even say a word by himself, and asked Chen Jingxing to do it for him.
Ning Chengzhi's anger had accumulated to the peak, and it was not easy to attack the people of Beili. He slammed the case and burned his anger on Yin Shuo, "Yin Shuo, you are guilty!"
Yin Shuo stood there indifferently, cupped his hands, "I don't know."
Yin Ji glanced at him, eyes full of disdain.
The courtiers in the hall suddenly became excited. It is absolutely impossible for the brothers and sisters of the Yin family to turn against each other to such an extent just because of one Gu Jiuge.
The ministers smelled gossip.
Ning Chengzhi said angrily: "I asked Eunuch Chi to pass on my oral order to cancel today's beheading, how dare you disobey the holy order, and dare to say that you are not guilty?!"
Yin Shuo said: "Back to Your Majesty, I didn't hear Eunuch Chi read His Majesty's oral order. Before he could say anything, he was stabbed to death by Gu Yi who held a grudge."
Ning Chengzhi paused, "What? Eunuch Chi is dead? Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
Eunuch Chi is a confidant who has always been by his side. As the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial court, he represents Junwei. His unexplained death made Ning Chengzhi even more angry.
Yin Jizheng suddenly said: "At this moment, the people from the Marquis Gu's mansion are not in the palace, and Yin Shoufu can tell the right and wrong. Please think about it, what kind of hatred can the people from the Marquis Gu's mansion kill a father-in-law? At that time, Shoufu Yin was also in prison, why didn't they How about killing Yin Shoufu to vent your anger?"
Yin Jiqian's words caused an uproar.
What he said was not unreasonable, the biggest behind-the-scenes driving force behind Guhou Mansion's end today was Yin Shuo.
Ning Chengzhi hesitated, and said to Yin Ji: "You were not in prison at the time, so why do you think it was not Gu Yi who killed him, but Yin Shuo? Is he your brother?"
Yin Shuo's eyes jumped, and he was suddenly wary of Ning Chengzhi's unintentional words, lest the matter that Yin Yan and him had concealed for more than ten years would be revealed.
Yin Jizheng sneered, "Your Majesty, don't you even understand this? Yin Shuo is determined to put everyone in the Marquis Gu's mansion to death, and would rather kill Eunuch Chi than execute the execution. To put it lightly, this matter is to exclude dissidents." Unjustly killing a loyal minister, to put it more seriously, deliberately provoked a quarrel between Dong Ling and Bei Li, does Your Majesty still believe that Yin Shuo is loyal to you?"
She pointed at Chen Jingxing fiercely, and used Bei Li to put pressure on Ning Chengzhi, who really frowned.
He thought of what Gu Huaijiang said when he persuaded him to abolish the prime minister and set up a cabinet. At that time, he was also afraid of Yin Shuo. As time passed, it was always appropriate to hand over the government affairs to Yin Shuo, so he was happy to relax.
But this time, Prince Beili was present, which was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the state system of Dongling. Ning Chengzhi knew that he could no longer blindly defend Yin Shuo.
Ning Chengzhi would not be annoyed if he wanted to kill the people in Guhou's mansion, but if Eunuch Chi really killed him, then the nature of the matter would change.
Yin Shuo has been paying attention to the changes in Ning Chengzhi's complexion, and knowing that it is difficult for him to excuse himself today, he looked at Chen Jingxing, "My dear Prince Beili, it was that Young Master Ji who wanted to protect the Marquis Gu's mansion before, and now Prince Beili has come all the way for the first time." One thing is to protect Gu Hou's mansion. Even if Gu Hou is wronged, it is a matter of Dongling Chaotang, why do the people of Beili care so much?"
Yin Shuo has always been eloquent and eloquent, and with just a few words, he attracted Ning Chengzhi's suspicion to everyone in Beili, and the eyes of all the courtiers immediately fell on Chen Jingxing.
Chen Jingxing was neither humble nor overbearing, he just snorted softly and did not respond.
Yin Shuo stared at the big bright yellow sedan chair. Beili Crown Prince's ceremonial guard was so magnificent that it was not inferior to Ning Chengzhi's imperial driver at all. This shows that Beili's national strength is strong.
But the crown prince was sitting in the sedan chair, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, making people suspicious...
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly pointed to the big sedan chair and said loudly: "Whether there is anyone in this sedan chair is still a question!"
"Yin Shuo, don't try to change the subject!"
Yin Jixie yelled out in a moment of impatience, but no one heard her voice, and everyone's eyes were focused on the big sedan chair in the hall, wondering if there was anyone inside.
Could it be that, as Yin Shuo said, the sedan chair was empty at all? That mysterious Prince Bei Li isn't there at all
Ning Chengzhi said: "Your envoy, this is the end of the conversation, why don't you ask your highness to get out of the sedan chair? Even if you can't get out of the sedan chair, it's okay to make a voice, right?"
There was a lot of discussion in the palace, and the sedan chair stood still. Ning Chengzhi believed Yin Shuo's words more and more.
With a wink from him, the officers and men of the Royal Forest Army in the hall slowly approached, and there was a posture of people in the sedan chair opening the curtain of the sedan chair without making a sound.
Chen Jingxing stepped forward and stood in front of the sedan chair, his momentum was like a mountain, "Who dares?!"
His voice was like a bell, and he was so angry that the soldiers of the imperial forest army dared not go forward. This moment made people think about it.
Thinking of Lin Xiangru who raised a jade against a pillar on the Qin State Hall, thinking of Su Wu holding the Han Fu Festival to shepherd sheep for 19 years without changing his ambition...
"Are you looking for Bengong?"
In the silence, the woman's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled.
Listening carefully, the voice was not coming from the sedan chair, but from outside the hall. Everyone turned their heads and saw the shadow of the sun slanting into the hall, and the woman in white was standing gracefully under the sunlight.
Her face was covered with white veil, her hands were folded in front of her body, and the wind blowing away her wide sleeves from somewhere made her flutter like a fairy.
Behind her was Ji Chengfa and a group of tall Beili warriors. Strange to say, the delicate woman's aura was not inferior to those iron-blooded men.
Those feet with exquisite silk shoes came slowly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, and the pair of beautiful eyes that were not covered by the veil smiled slightly, with a natural noble bearing, as if Ning Chengzhi, who was sitting on the golden dragon seat, was not in her eyes .
Those smiling eyes are beautiful and familiar, but when you look closely, they are cold.
Chen Jingxing turned around to meet him, and a group of Beili envoys bowed down, "His Royal Highness."
She just stood there, her eyes swept over Ning Chengzhi and everyone in the hall, Ning Chengzhi unconsciously stood up from behind the imperial case, walked to the front of the steps and stared at her blankly.
"What? I have only been away for more than a month, so you don't know me anymore?"
She gently lifted the veil, and at this moment, the whole hall was filled with the sound of gasping for air.
Chen Jingxing stood up and said displeasedly: "Dongling is known as the state of etiquette. Is it so polite to see me, the Prince of Beili, Princess Yufu?"
All the ministers hurriedly bowed and saluted, and they couldn't believe what they saw until they raised their heads.
In the past, the eldest princess of Zhenjiang in Dongling was also Princess Yufu, the crown prince of Beili
How can this be
But Chen Jingxing kept claiming that she was the crown prince of Beili, and Ji Chengfa and his party followed her, so there could be no falsehood.
Ning Chengzhi went down the stairs in a daze, "Yufu, why is it you? Isn't Beili's prince the prince?"
Chen Jingxing raised his chin and snorted softly, "Both my prince Beili and the princess have the right to inherit the throne. Princess Yufu is the eldest daughter of the empress's heir, and she has been the crown prince since she was born. But later she came to Dongling for some reason, and she was late. It’s just too late to return to my home country.”
It was only then that Ning Chengzhi remembered that Yufu's life experience had always been a mystery, but no one had ever thought of exploring it before, and only thought that she grew up in the Immortal Valley and had no prominent status.
It turned out that her status was so prominent and honorable.
Yin Jiyu couldn't help laughing, leaned close to Yin Shuo's ear and whispered, "At the beginning, father and eldest brother wanted to find out Yufu's identity, but they must have never expected such a result, right?"
She could imagine how overwhelming Yin Shuo's heart was at the moment.
Yin Shuo always thought that as long as Gu Hou's mansion was overthrown, he would be able to control the Dongling Chaotang, and he would have the power to occupy Yufu, but he didn't want Yufu's identity to exceed his imagination.
Seeing Yin Shuo's devastated face, she felt indescribably happy.
Yu Fu smiled at Ning Chengzhi, "I stand here to represent the prince of Beili, not Dongling's eldest princess. I also ask Emperor Ning to respect himself and call me a princess or your highness. This time I am here Dongling went to Xikun a few days ago for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Emperor Kun treated me very politely."
There was no trace of old friendship in her words, as if she had never known Ning Chengzhi, she even took out Xikun to threaten him.
Some courtiers said angrily: "Your Highness, although you are the heir apparent of Beili, how can you be so ruthless because you have received favor from the emperor in Dongling? Don't tell me you don't have the slightest affection for Dongling, and you still want to make friends with Xikun, Dongling's enemy country?" Is it?"
Chen Jingxing was about to speak, but Yufu waved his hand to signal him to step back, and looked at the courtier who spoke.
It's a strange face.
She smiled softly, "I have only left Dongling for more than a month, and it seems that Mrs. Ji and Mr. Chen Ge are gone, and it is your turn to speak in the court. It can be seen that the court Declining, the former grand scene full of talents is no longer there.”
The man's face turned red from what she said, only to hear Yu Fu continue: "Of course I have received the favor of the emperor in Dongling, but what I received was the favor of the late emperor. What kind of favor has your majesty given?"
She turned to Ning Chengzhi fiercely, "I have a marriage contract with the elder son of the Gu family. Emperor Ning sent the elder son to the border to kill him in order to win his wife. I thank Emperor Ning for killing his husband."
"Guhou is my adoptive father, and Emperor Ning wanted to kill all the family members of Guhou's house because of his own jealousy without evidence. I thank Emperor Ning for killing his father."
"For such two great kindnesses, how can Emperor Ning want me to thank you? With my army of millions in Beili?"
Ning Chengzhi shuddered all over his body, it turned out that Yufu had long regarded him as an enemy in his heart, if he had known that she was such a status, he would not have threatened Yufu with Guhou's mansion.
Yu Fu turned around and stopped looking at him, and glanced at the courtiers, "I remind you, the reason why I stand here and talk to you today is not because I am afraid of Dongling's national power, but because of the late emperor's will." On the face. Otherwise, I will directly order the army to suppress Dong Ling, and see if you dare to talk to me about your relationship!"
She flicked her sleeves coldly, "Emperor Ning should solve the mess in his court first, and then talk to me about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I'm tired, so let's go first."
Chen Jingxing raised the curtain of the sedan chair himself, and Yu Fu bent over to enter the sedan chair. By the time everyone in the hall reacted, Bei Li and his party had already gone far away.
