Qiao Mingyu didn't come back the next day, the rain was still falling, but it had turned from heavy rain to light rain, and it seemed that it would stop soon.
Gu Lian thought for a while, but went back to the palace to change his clothes, and then went into the palace.
There was no one in the princess' palace, so Gu Lian went to the palace of the national teacher and met Lingsu and Qiao Ancheng.
"What happened?" Gu Lian asked, leaning his arms aside.
Lingsu stared at his son doing his homework and shook his head: "I don't know, I forgot."
Reid told him last night, but he was so sleepy at the time that he couldn't remember what he said.
Gu Lian looked at him with disgust, it was really useless.
Lingsu glared back angrily, blaming him? Ruidi's guy is like a beast, a beast that has been hungry for many days. He didn't want to talk about business before, and he had to talk about it after finishing it. How could he have the energy to listen
The good best friend seemed to be unreliable, Gu Lian rubbed the little head of the prince, and went back to the princess to wait.
After lunch was ten, Qiao Mingyu finally came back.
She heard that Gu Lian had entered the palace, so she hurriedly ended the conversation with her brother. As soon as she stepped into her palace, she suddenly remembered that she was still angry and could not easily forgive Gu Lian.
So the awkward princess sat down at the table and ate quietly. Gu Lian gave her vegetables, and she ate it, but she didn't hear what Gu Lian said.
"Still angry?" Gu Lian was extremely helpless, when did he want to calm down
Qiao Mingyu was unmoved and silently grilled the rice.
"Then get angry." Gu Lian gave her another chopstick, "Don't rush to leave after dinner, I have something to tell you."
Qiao Mingyu was a little awkward again, feeling that Gu Lian was here to ask her why she didn't go back to the manor. A Lian only cares about what happened, and doesn't care about her at all.
After eating, Qiao Mingyu didn't want to hear it. She wanted to go back to her brother, but Gu Lian pulled her and wouldn't let her go.
After waving away the palace attendant, Gu Lian dragged Qiao Mingyu into the inner room.
Qiao Mingyu struggled and did not break free, only then did she realize that Gu Lian's strength was not small, and she was not as delicate as her figure.
"Ming Yu, will you go after listening to me?" Gu Lian lowered her eyes pretending to be lonely.
Qiao Mingyu couldn't bear her acting pitiful the most. Seeing this, she struggled and decided to listen to her finish.
Seeing this, Gu Lian let go of her, then suddenly took a step closer, put his arms around Qiao Mingyu's neck, and gently touched her lips. Qiao Mingyu didn't react yet, but she heard Gu Lian say softly, "Mingyu, let's be together."
“… !!!”
Qiao Mingyu's eyes widened, what did she just hear? !
"A, A Lian..." Qiao Mingyu suddenly forgot that she was still making trouble, opened her mouth, but could only spit out Gu Lian's name, and couldn't say anything else.
"I like you, Mingyu." Gu Lian continued, with a firm tone, "Can I be your daughter-in-law?"
Qiao Mingyu was dumbfounded. She listened to Gu Lian's confession for a while, and her mind was in chaos. However, his body was very mature, and he subconsciously hugged Gu Lian tightly and refused to let go.
Gu Lian didn't intend to run away, she smiled and looked at Qiao Mingyu, and stopped talking after three words, leaving enough time for the other party to figure out what happened.
Qiao Mingyu's reflex arc has always been relatively long, and after a full quarter of an hour, she finally reacted. Then she picked up Gu Lian excitedly, and excitedly turned around in circles: "A Lian A Lian A Lian!"
"I'm here." Gu Lian tugged at her bloodshot earlobe, "Put me down, I'm going to faint."
"Don't let it go!" Qiao Mingyu immediately refused.
Gu Lian had no choice but to close his eyes.
She is not a player of the Five Poisons. She uses various skills to turn around, turning horizontally and vertically without any pressure. As an NPC, she has no anti-stun attribute.
When Qiao Mingyu was excited enough to put him down, Gu Lian was completely dizzy. She leaned against Qiao Mingyu's arms and could not stand still, but Qiao Mingyu's ruddy complexion had no effect at all. She hugged Gu Lian and smiled so much that her mouth was grinning to the bottom of her ears.
She helped Gu Lian to sit down, and after a while, she suddenly stressed nervously: "Alian, you said you want to be my daughter-in-law."
"Well, I said it." Gu Lian rubbed his temples to agree with her.
"Then you will be my general's wife from now on!" Qiao Mingyu's eyes lit up.
"..." Gu Lian was speechless, "Okay, I'm your general's wife."
Qiao Mingyu was instantly satisfied, and kissed Gu Lian's cheek, her heart bubbling with happiness.
Gu Lian recovered and kissed Qiao Mingyu's lips: "Are you still making trouble now?"
"Hmph." Qiao Mingyu refused to answer.
Gu Lian didn't insist, even if it was revealed.
Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was very ambiguous. Qiao Mingyu can't wait to hug Gu Lian all the time without letting go, but this is impossible. It didn't take long for a palace maid to knock on the door, saying that Rui Di asked her to come over to discuss things.
Qiao Mingyu almost forgot about this, but now she was suddenly stunned when she heard it, and then she remembered that there was still such a thing.
"What's the matter?" Gu Lian walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea and poured it slowly.
Qiao Mingyu leaned over to ask for tea, and drank a small half cup with Gu Lian's hand, and then explained: "Some time ago, there was a heavy rain in Shu, which flooded many places."
This area of Shu land is prone to rain in the late spring, and it continues until the early autumn, and the rainfall is often not small. The Five Poisons General Altar is okay, mainly the Tang Sect. Gu Lian once settled near Tangmen for a period of time in order to collect herbs. It happened to be summer, it was not as hot as Jiangnan, but the sun was also very sunny. It's still scary when it rains. Living in a small shabby house has a feeling that it will be buried by the wind and rain sooner or later.
In the middle of Shu, especially in Chongqing in later generations, there are many mountains, and the depressions are easy to accumulate water. Successive torrential rains will cause flood disasters. Gu Lian encountered it once, and some places were flooded by four or five meters.
"Submerged? Is there an epidemic?" Gu Lian's first reaction was this.
Floods, droughts, snowstorms, etc., are very easy to die. If there are too many people dead, if they are not buried in time, it will be very convenient for the plague to breed.
But this time the situation was not so bad. Although Shuzhong was flooded, the water level went down after half a month. There were not many casualties, and the people all went to the high-lying places to live temporarily, but the houses were damaged a lot.
However, after this kind of flood, there is still a bit of benefit. The fields will accumulate silt, and the silt will have sufficient nutrients, and crops will grow better on it.
Housing is a trivial matter, and most of the houses where the people live are built by cutting wood by themselves. Ordinary log cabins can be picked up in a few days, and if the court handles them properly, there will be no trouble.
The heavy rain this time occurred in early autumn, but because the impact was not great, the court was not too worried. This time, the reason why Qiao Mingyu was called was because of another thing.
"My little uncle is in the middle of Shu." Qiao Mingyu looked worried, "He has an accident."
Qiao Mingyu's uncle treated her very well, but now she has disappeared in the flood. Qiao Mingyu wanted to go to the middle of Shu to find someone, but Rui Di was worried.
Gu Lian immediately said: "I will accompany you to Shuzhong."
"but... ... "
Shu Road is difficult, how can it be so easy to find someone.
Gu Lian didn't care, she had lived in Shu, which was better than Qiao Mingyu's blindness. Besides, she was really worried about letting Qiao Mingyu go by herself.
"My brother doesn't agree with me." Qiao Mingyu said depressedly.
She and her brother have been rubbing hard for so long, but they still have no effect at all. Ruidi was afraid that she would sneak away, so he almost sent someone to watch her at all times.
"Let's take a look first, didn't your brother call you over? Maybe there is good news." Gu Lian comforted.
Qiao Mingyu nodded weakly, obviously not holding out hope.
The place where her uncle lived was in a low-lying area and was flooded. But there was no one nearby, so everyone didn't know whether he left the residence temporarily with his domestic servant or what happened. The disaster-relief officials didn't notice this at first, but there was an official who was good at stalking horses and remembered that the emperor's uncle was in the middle of Shu, and wanted to see how the other party was doing. In case something happens to the family, it is better to help as soon as possible, so as to improve the favorability.
As a result, there was only a flooded blue brick building, and no one was around at all.
Gu Lian and Qiao Mingyu hurried to the outside of the imperial study. The guards wanted to stop Gu Lian, but Qiao Mingyu glared back, and then swaggeredly pulled Gu Lian into the study.
"Uncle is fine, you don't have to go over there." Ruidi heard someone coming in, and he criticized the memorial while talking, without raising his head at all.
Qiao Mingyu got angry when he saw him like this: "Why is uncle okay?"
Rui Di rubbed his eyebrows, put down his red pen, and took out a secret letter from one side and handed it to Qiao Mingyu: "Someone found it, and he took his servant to live in the cave temporarily." Looking up to see Gu Lian, he nodded at her, " Auntie."
Gu Lian: "..." Lingsu's unscrupulous person actually climbed up with her relatives to hug her thighs, and she was afraid that she would regret that even Rui Di's side was ventilated together.
It's really.... speechless...
Qiao Mingyu took the memorial and read it at a glance, and then he was relieved, but he still refused to give in: "Alian and I are going to find my uncle. The middle of Shu is too dangerous, let my uncle come back to live."
The uncle's family was very pitifully suppressed when the late emperor was there. Although Rui Di has gradually supported his uncle's family, the effect is not obvious for the time being. There are too few talents, and most of them are scattered all over the place.
Ruidi thought for a while after hearing the words, and nodded in agreement.
The little uncle is also a capable person. After returning to Beijing, with his uncle's leadership, he should be able to rise faster. Since my sister is still worried, let her go, with Gu Lian on the left and right, and there will be no accident.
"You agree?" Qiao Mingyu was incredulous, his brother, this sister-controller, was willing to agree!
