The feast in the palace lasted for a day, and it was extremely lively.
Until it was late, and festive red lights were raised all over the palace, the talents gradually dispersed.
The Palace of Eternal Life is quiet, no one dares to come here to build a new house, and Yao Lan and the others also wisely did not show up, worrying that the couple would be ashamed—
Especially Yufu.
In the inner room, there is a bright red as far as the eye can see, gauze curtains, bed curtains, brocade quilts...
The two were dressed in the same red and sat on the edge of the bed, looking a little stiff.
After a while, it was Gu Shubai who spoke first, "I'm tired of dressing up all day, I'll feel more comfortable if I change into my clothes and jewelry."
Yu Fu raised his head and looked outside, but he didn't see Yao Lan, not to mention the other court ladies.
She stretched out her hand to pull off the phoenix hairpin on her head, but Gu Shubai's hand stopped her, "Let me do it."
He carefully took off the twelve gold hairpins one by one, and every time he took one off, a strand of smooth long hair slipped into his palm like silk, making people fondle admiringly.
Yu Fu lowered her head slightly, she could only see the position of his chest, saw his raised arms, and felt her tightly tied hair gradually relax.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until all the hair accessories were removed one by one.
Followed by earrings, necklaces, bracelets...
He put the removed jewelry on the table, got up and twisted the veil again, and wiped off the powder on her face one by one.
After washing away the lead, it was still his favorite face.
When the four eyes met, there was something lingering in the undercurrent between the two of them. He restrained it for too long, so that now it was a little difficult to hold back, and he subconsciously kissed her lips.
Yu Fu raised his hand, pressed his pale fingers on his lips, and said in a low voice: "Not yet."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the wine on the table, it was the wine that Xi Niang poured for them before going out, and told him to drink it to last forever.
Gu Shubai took a deep breath, got up and took two wine glasses, and handed one to Yu Fu.
Yu Fu brought the wine glass up to her nose and sniffed it, she was relieved when she saw that it was ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus wine, she was afraid that she would make jokes again if she drank it.
The two of them crossed arms, and each poured a glass to drink, and Yu Fu's face turned red after drinking a glass of wine.
Reflecting the redness of the whole palace, the redness on her skin looks even more delicate and lovely, which makes people forget the vulgarity.
He raised his hand to reach her skirt, Yu Fu's whole body stiffened suddenly, and he looked at him nervously, and the smile on the corner of the latter's lips deepened.
When they were sleeping together in the same bed before, she had never seen her so nervous before, presumably she was so nervous because she knew what was going to happen tonight
She was still a little girl after all.
"The hair accessories on the head feel heavy, but the clothes don't feel heavy?"
While talking, Gu Shubai unbuttoned her coat, Yu Fu blushed unbelievably, had to close his eyes and let him unbutton the third button, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
"Eight Hundred Miles Expedited Battle Report, Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Gu Shubai's hand froze suddenly, the two looked at each other, and Yu Fu got up immediately, "Oh no, it must be the rebel army or Xikun who are making moves again!"
The war has not yet completely subsided, Yufu attaches great importance to this, and once ordered that all emergency military reports on the border can be sent directly to the imperial front.
The palace servants in the Palace of Eternal Life couldn't help feeling annoyed when they heard the news, thinking that it would be a bad time for the battle report to come, but it came today.
Without waiting for them to stop them, the door of the Palace of Longevity opened with a creak, and Yu Fu's voice was majestic, "Come in and answer."
The soldier who brought the battle report saw the bright red decorations in the hall, and felt very disturbed, worried that he would spoil the ceremony of His Majesty's wedding.
Entering the hall, seeing Gu Shubai sitting at the tea table, Yufu casually walked towards him with his hair in his hands, still wearing the fine attire for the day ceremony, making his face whiter and more delicate.
"What happened?"
The soldier quickly lowered his head, "Return to Your Majesty, the Xikun army attacked our Weizhou City again. It is estimated that there are 100,000 troops! The total number of Weizhou City and the surrounding defenders is less than 30,000, so General Kun ordered his subordinates to come back immediately for help. When the subordinates left, a hundred thousand troops were approaching the city, and now we don’t know whether the city of Weizhou is broken or defended..."
Yufu's face was serious, and he attacked Weizhou City with an army of 100,000. This time, Xikun was really coming.
But who is leading this matter
Kun Junyue is in Beili, and Emperor Kun is ill in bed. Now Kunwu is the only one in charge in the Xikun Dynasty. Could it be that he commanded the army to attack
Yu Fu thought that he had reached a tacit understanding with Kun Wushang in the last mission to Xikun, and that between Kun Junyue and him, he was on his side.
Why should he take the initiative to offend Bei Li, could it be...
There is only one possibility, that is, Kun Junyue, who he wants to send to Beili, will never go back.
Yufu told Gu Shubai what he was thinking, Gu Shubai nodded and said: "You are right. But it is not impossible for Emperor Kun, he was just a little sick in the previous report, I suspect that is what you said A chronic poison has begun to take effect. With Kundi's thunder method, it is not impossible to command the troops while in ailment."
Yu Fu nodded, "No matter what, first control Kun Junyue, if Yu Yang can't keep it, you can take him as a hostage in exchange. As for Weizhou City..."
She frowned, the current situation in Weizhou City cannot be delayed, Ouyang Qi guarding the northern border can't move at all, now he can only send generals from the central court to reinforce Weizhou.
"Let me go. To deal with the Xikun army, I, Gu Jiajun, are the most suitable candidates. I have never been defeated."
Gu Shubai looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of reassuring power.
Just a quarter of an hour ago he couldn't wait, but a quarter of an hour later he took the initiative to ask Ying to leave the capital for Weizhou, Yu Fu suddenly regretted it.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have refused that kiss just now.
Hearing the urgent military report from eight hundred li, the important ministers of the imperial court rushed from their mansions to the palace. As soon as they arrived outside the Palace of Longevity, they saw Gu Shubai in a wedding robe hurrying out of the palace.
"General Gu, what is this..."
Taifu Bao looked at him, Tian Yunpo looked at the Hall of Eternal Life, the candles were still on, and Yi Ren was still asleep.
Gu Shubai hurriedly bowed his hands to the crowd, "You can ask His Majesty for the detailed situation, I will lead the troops to Weizhou overnight for reinforcements, and there is no delay, so I will leave."
"this… "
Looking at the back of him striding away, Grand Tutor Bao and others sighed deeply, "This is their wedding night, it's not good for His Majesty to send someone, but the general."
"Apart from him, who else can guarantee to defend Weizhou City and repel the Xikun army?"
Tian Yunpo took a step forward, rarely revealing his praise for Gu Shubai in his words, he raised his hand after speaking, "Teacher, please."
Taifu Bao sighed and walked towards the hall first.
When entering the hall, I saw Yu Fu sitting under the window, giving Gu Hanmo some instructions.
"Immediately lead the Imperial Forest Army to surround the posthouse and keep Kun Junyue under strict supervision, and none of his envoys will be spared. At the same time, the four gates of the capital will be sealed off to check for suspicious persons. Once the spies of Xikun are found, they will be detained immediately."
"yes."
Gu Hanmo raised his sword and hurriedly exited the hall. When he saw Bao Taifu and others, he just cupped his hands and hurriedly went out of the palace.
All the ministers stepped forward, Yu Fu just turned his head, "My lords, please sit down, it disturbed your lords to rest in the middle of the night."
Taifu Bao said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Weizhou City was attacked, and you still want to detain Prince Xikun. What's going on?"
Yufu raised his hand to signal the adults to sit down and talk, and said: "Xikun sent 100,000 troops to attack Weizhou. Now Weizhou city is in dire straits. I don't know if we can keep it. General Gu has already led the reinforcements, I hope There is still time. To prevent accidents, Kun Junyue must be detained."
"One hundred thousand troops?"
Tian Yunpo frowned, "It seems that Xikun is here for real this time. Back then they sent the princess to Dongling to take advantage of Dongling's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack. Could it be that they repeated their old tricks this time and were willing to take Mr. Kun's hand? Yue came to do a trick? That's the prince of Xikun."
Yu Fu shook his head, "It happened so suddenly, I still don't know what happened, who mobilized the one hundred thousand troops. However, the civil strife in the Xikun Dynasty is more complicated than we imagined, whether it is Emperor Kun or Kun Wushang wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Kun Junyue, I don't find it strange."
Tian Yunpo said: "What if the other party just wants to get rid of Kun Junyue, and doesn't intend to be an enemy of our Bei Li?"
All the ministers were shocked, they did not expect such a possibility.
Yu Fu thought about it carefully for a moment, "Emperor Kun is getting old and his body is not as good as before. He has always been afraid of Kun Junyue, so he cultivated Kunwu injury to restrict him. As for Kunwu injury, he is even more afraid of Kun Junyue. But a person who killed more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the battle for the heirloom... In this way, it is not impossible."
Taifu Bao sighed, "If that's the case, there's no need to send General Gu there, but on your majesty's wedding night, you have to... Sigh."
Yu Fu knew that he was concerned about herself, so she turned her head to comfort him, "Teacher, don't have to sigh, what about the wedding night? If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night. We are still young, and there are countless good years left , how can the state affairs be delayed because of the private relationship between the son and daughter? What's more... he was the one who volunteered, and I didn't refuse."
The ministers were even more emotional when they heard the words. She is worthy of being Beili's queen, and she has delayed her life's major events for the sake of state affairs.
Gu Shubai and her were of the same heart and mind, so one of them volunteered and the other did not refuse.
It is really embarrassing.
Yu Fu smiled, and looked at Tian Yunpo, "If the country is at war, the war should be the top priority. The military supplies, grain, grass, and money for Weizhou City must be coordinated by the Grand Master."
Tian Yunpo bowed his hands to accept the order, and Yu Fu looked at Chen Jingxing again, "Immediately send a question to the Xikun court, ask them to give a reasonable explanation and stop the war immediately. If Weizhou City is damaged, and our Beili soldiers are damaged, then What I promised to Emperor Kun earlier will not count."
A cold look flashed in her eyes, "If you lose me one city, I want him ten cities. If you lose me one general, I want him to be buried with him!"
That night, some people rushed to Weizhou on horseback all night, the wind was like swords and horses, and they didn't dare to let themselves stop for a moment, otherwise they couldn't help but think of her.
Tonight was their wedding night, and he shouldn't have left at this time.
I don't know what she is doing now
That night, someone was alone in the Hall of Eternal Life facing the bright red lights. The more he looked at it, the more distressed he became. He simply put on his clothes and went to the Imperial Study Room to study the map of Weizhou area alone.
If she doesn't find something for herself to do, she can't help but think of him.
Tonight was supposed to be their wedding night, and she shouldn't have let him leave at this time.
But in the end she agreed, and he left anyway. It was because she was too selfish to make him go to the Weizhou battlefield just after returning from the Lin'an battlefield.
She stood under the lamp, and she was the only one in the huge imperial study, quietly looking at the map, marking it with annotations from time to time.
There was a sudden noise outside the hall, Yu Fu looked over vigilantly, "Who?"
But seeing Tian Yunpo walking in from outside the hall with something in his hand, he closed the door of the hall with his feet, which looked rather funny.
Yu Fu couldn't help laughing, "Have you not left the palace yet?"
"With such a big incident, I guess you won't be able to sleep tonight, so you might as well come to accompany you. I heard from Yaolan that you haven't eaten anything today, here, have a taste!"
Tian Yunpo put the things on the imperial case, and Yufu saw that it was a pot of hot milk tea, overflowing with sweetness and fragrance, and there were two plates of delicate snacks outside.
One of the dishes is the crab cake she is most familiar with, which was her favorite snack when she was in Dongling.
While pouring milk tea for her, Tian Yunpo said: "I originally planned to ask someone to warm a pot of wine, but after thinking about the poor quality of your majesty's wine, I decided not to drink it. Even though it's spring, the weather is still a bit cold, It would be nice to drink a bowl of hot milk tea."
Yu Fu picked up the crab cake with one hand, and took the milk tea in his hand with the other, "Who do you say is not good for wine?"
"Of course it's His Majesty, could it be me?"
Tian Yunpo looked like he couldn't hide anything from his eyes, Yu Fu saw that he hurried into the palace and was not wearing thick clothes, so he poured him a bowl of milk tea.
Then he touched his bowl with his, "Come on, do it!"
I have only heard of drinking toasts, but I don't want to drink milk tea to drink a bowl.
Tian Yunpo raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, he just took a sip of the milk tea, and the heat immediately permeated the internal organs.
Yu Fu bit the Crab Chowder in his mouth, and pointed at the map with one hand, "Look—"
When she took down the crab cake in her mouth, half of it had already been eaten away. "The north of Weizhou is close to Xianren Valley, and the south is close to Zhuguan. Although Xikun has an army of 100,000, it can only attack the enemy from the front. Near Zhuguan, there is the old Gu family army from Dongling blocking the attack, not to mention the Immortal Valley."
"Immortal Valley?"
Tian Yunpo couldn't help being curious, "I only know that Immortal Valley has great medical and poison skills, so could it be that there are millions of troops hiding in the valley?"
Yu Fu smiled, "Although Immortal Valley doesn't have a million-strong army, it is better than a million-strong army. Although people in the valley will not easily leave the mountain, it is more than enough to prevent the Xikun army from attacking Weizhou."
Tian Yunpo nodded, "If Xikun's 100,000 troops can't form a pincer attack, in fact, the 100,000 people can really use only five or six out of ten. If General Kun can handle it properly, it shouldn't be a problem to support Gu Shubai .”
"I have confidence in Yuyang, but Xikun is a surprise attack after all, in case she is not prepared..."
Yu Fu's tone became hesitant, if Kun Yuyang felt that Kun Junyue was in the capital, so he lost his guard against Xi Kun, the outcome of that battle might be very tragic.
She let out a sigh of relief, "It doesn't matter even if Weizhou falls, I just hope they all come back safely. If the city is lost, you can regain it ten times and a hundred times. If people are gone, everything will be gone."
Tian Yunpo's hand holding the tea paused, and slowly put it down, "Since Your Majesty is so worried about Gu Shubai's safety, why did you send him to do such a dangerous thing? If you try to stop him, he probably won't insist go."
"Then what should I do? From now on, I will tie him up in the palace and prevent him from going to the battlefield again? The battlefield is unpredictable, and no one can predict the danger of the next moment. Every battle may bleed and die. The entire army may be wiped out."
Yu Fu's voice was low, "I really want him to stay, but if I restrain him and make him a pampered idler in the palace, it would be an insult to him. Not only would he be insulted, but his father would also be insulted." And a few other brothers, it’s an insult to myself.”
"I can only let him go, because the battlefield is the world where he can display his talents. Only in that place, he is the big brother I know. And only by supporting him, I am the Yufu he knows."
So tonight they chose to let go of each other, choose to be part of the world, anxious in each other's hearts but without any hesitation.
Tian Yunpo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't want Yufu to see the feelings between the two of them so thoroughly, and to let go of the world to the one he loves so rationally—
Even if she is the queen of Beili, she still has to suffer from fear and fear.
This is the love between them that is difficult for others to intervene.
Yu Fu gulped down the snack in his mouth, regained his strength, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Look, once Weizhou City is destroyed, isn't this place a good place to break through?"
