Qingchuan History

Chapter 858

On the surface, Jidu has turned from chaos to tranquility, but secretly there is a crisis of the death of the king and the disappearance of the eldest princess.

The only thing that was witnessed was the tragedy of the thirteenth prince falling from the Mingguang Terrace and the death of a maidservant protecting the lord. This incident also became the eye of the next wave of storms after the siege of the chaos army. Stealed and remarkably talked about.

The funeral period of the General's Mansion has not yet passed, and the elder and younger masters still do not go out.Because even Ji Ping and other [-]% of the officials in the DPRK are thinking behind closed doors, the only one who presides over the overall situation and makes all judgments is Ning Wang Gu Xingyan.

But after all, he is only a prince, and he has not been entrusted with the power by the lord. After handling government affairs during the day, he always goes out of the palace to return to his mansion in the capital at night, and Chunfeng and Diyan personally send him out of Zheng'anmen.

"I don't know how long I will last." Di Yan looked at the outline of the buildings outside the palace gate, his eyes were as blank as the moonlight.

Chunfeng heard the meaning in this sentence, even though he had never pointed out anything to this confidant of the 20-year companion, he still said: "Naturally, we must persist until the will is dark and the flowers are bright."

It is said that when the news of Gu Xinglang's death entered the palace that night, Di Yan cried bitterly on the spot, hoarse, and all the palace people tried to persuade him for half an hour without stopping.

Only Chunfeng could see that after that he was not as mournful as everyone thought, or it should be said that he tried his best to express sorrow, but his brows and eyes were calm.

She didn't know how much he knew about Gu Xinglang's plan, but based on this, she added Xiao Mo's statement - Brother Nine must be alive and firmly in charge of the chess game.

This gave her back the strength to deal with everything.

"Although there is a strict order in the court, you must not disclose anything about the emperor or the eldest princess. Your Highness needs to be more concerned about the exact implementation." He listened to Di Yan and said again.

Chunfeng glanced at him.

Di Yan lowered his head, "I am overbearing."

It is indeed inappropriate for an internal official to discuss political affairs, but he is unusual for an internal official, and he is almost always present at the Riming Luan Palace for political discussions. Everyone regards him as an eye of the emperor.

"My lord has reminded you. Now that the emperor, empress, and elder sister are not here, and the thirteen princes are young and ill, among the royal family, only King Ning and this palace are temporarily protecting the country, and it is time to work together."

Di Yan pondered for a while, and finally said with a heartbeat: "The minister deserves death! There is a car from the late King Xin, this time King Ning—"

The sister-in-law said that the eldest sister is fixed, but King Ning is.Although Gu Chunfeng didn't know why she was so sure, he had no reason to believe it.The disappearance of the eldest sister has proved that she is absolutely loyal to the Gu family, so Ji Ping hid her, so King Ning should be safe.

"Your Excellency is not unreasonable to be worried." After all, there is no need to confess to Di Yan, "This hall will pay attention."

On that side, Gu Xingyan was driving close to the gate of the mansion, the long street was dark, with only one spot of light shining on it.He got out of the car, eyes full of tiredness and worry, on the way back he had no less than ten thoughts of going to Xiangguo Mansion to interrogate Ji Ping.

At that time, Gu Chunyue clearly returned to the mansion with him, how could it disappear without a trace?Although Ji Ping gave his explanation, Gu Xingyan didn't believe it at all. As the day and night passed, his anxiety became more and more serious.

He stopped at the foot of the wide steps in front of the mansion, No. 11 had the urge to visit Xiangguo's mansion at night.

Suddenly, I heard a soft call from a dark place not far away, and looking back, it was the figure of a woman.

two.Because the place was too dark, he walked over and noticed that there was a slightly shorter one behind him.

His heart beat so fast that he almost thought it was Chunyue.

As she got closer, although Fang Jue's figure was similar, but the details were poor, the standing posture and the way of holding hands were not what Chunyue was used to.

But this woman is wearing a gauze hat, so it's hard to see her true face.

"My lord, please take a step to speak."

When the voice came out, Gu Xingyan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recognized it, feeling even more shocked.Follow the instructions and move to a completely dark place, the other party lifts half of the veil, it is Ji Wanling.

Heng'er backed away, allowing the two masters to talk.Ji Wanling's expression was complicated, she seemed shy and hesitant, but it was Gu Xingyan who spoke first:
"Where did Mrs. Yu go? Tell me to wait so I can find it!"

Ji Wanling thought that he was expressing his heartfelt feelings, and immediately his cheeks became hot, and he calmed down and said: "If it is not a last resort, I will not come to beg Your Highness."

No blush could be seen in the darkness, Gu Xingyan could still hear the emotion from the tone, Fang reflected that she always thought he liked her, so she didn't answer for a moment.

Not time for explanation.Don't say that the situation does not allow for the clarification or justification of the love of the sons and daughters, but only use the gentleman's demeanor and ladylike behavior as the criterion. Even if there is a misunderstanding, it should be eliminated by euphemistic methods, rather than embarrassing both parties face to face.

"Madam, please tell me." Sui said sincerely.

"Yesterday, I heard my brother's statement on the main street. Although it is a political opinion, the plan is for the eternal state of the country and the Changan of the world. After all, it shocks the world and the world, and it is suspected of treason."

Gu Xingyan's mind suddenly gathered, and he tried his best to distinguish the truth and falsehood of the other party's words, and the brightness of his eyes.

But she bowed solemnly, "Master Ji is absolutely selfless. But I always live in the harem, and I have no foresight or foresight in political affairs. My brother has been banned. As a concubine, I can't make an exception to visit. For the present plan, We can only find my father, ask about the situation, and then make a plan."

There are many loopholes in this statement.There is no explanation as to why she left the palace before the incident happened.Then whether she knew the news of the collapse of the emperor and the disappearance of the princess who was pressed is also worth deliberating.

The "plan for the present" she proposed is even more absurd.The Ji family is no longer trusted by the royal family, and Ji Huan has been imprisoned by the emperor. Where can she find her?

"Do you know where Ji Xiang is?"

Even though he was an official, Jing Hong had only one face, and everyone seemed unable to change their words in private.

"know."

Gu Xingyan was startled, did the Lord tell her?
"Is it useful to find Ji Xiang?"

"With my status, if I want to contribute, there is no other way but this method."

She looked at him, was there pleading in her pupils, or was there some soft showing of weakness?
Gu Xingyan wasn't sure if it was emotional outburst, or a trick based on a misunderstanding, so he thought for a while and asked:
"Madam, who is in your heart now? Is it still the third brother, or the king?"

Ji Wanling thought he was trying to find out her mind.

He seemed to have thought about it before finding him, and quickly replied: "The past can't be traced. It can be neither, it can be the third person."

If the misunderstanding is not a misunderstanding, Gu Xingyan should agree at this time.

But the misunderstanding is indeed a misunderstanding, and he has no need for favoritism.

But there is a need to do everything.

"Okay." Feeling weird again, "You have already left the palace, so you don't need to tell me."

Ji Wanling took a step closer.

In terms of etiquette between the concubine and the prince, they are too close.But Gu Xingyan didn't retreat, and wanted to see how far this misunderstanding could be used by her.

"I came to you to ask for a life-saving talisman for my family."

From the third round of this conversation, the address changed from "His Madam" to "You and I".It seems that the peach fan misunderstanding lingering between the two is silently fermenting, in exchange for selfishness and commitment.

Gu Xingyan looked at her.

Ji Wanling filled her apricot eyes with glistening eyes, and stared into his phoenix eyes, "My concubine is Siluo, and I would like to entrust you to Qiao Mu. Meng Jun will not give up, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life." [1]

Although he had a hunch since seeing her, Gu Xingyan was still shocked when he heard her.This proud girl who was born in the No. 20 noble family of Daqi, entered and exited the imperial palace when she was young, and was admired by the stars until she was [-] years old, one day, she would make a promise to him for the rest of her life.

Gu Xingyan is free and easy, and although Ji Wanling has no love for men and women, he is familiar with him and appreciates it.For a moment, she was saddened that she had nowhere to go, but it was so hard to discern the meaning and strategy of her words. Facing those almond eyes for a moment, she said in a warm voice:
"Xing Yan will remember Madam Yu's words."

He was actually older than her, so he suddenly changed his name, which could be understood as some kind of tacit understanding.

The water in Ji Wanling's eyes faded away for a moment, then quickly gathered, and smiled: "Since that's the case, there's no need to call my wife in private."

Gu Xingyan tried his best to adapt to the situation, and with the half-truth and half-false ambiguity between the two, he also smiled: "When are you leaving?"

"tonight."

"Do you need an escort?"

Ji Wanling shook her head, "I've already made arrangements, so don't worry about it."

Gu Xingyan nodded, "Be careful on the road, Jidu, I'm here."

Ji Wanling was shocked at how quickly he agreed, she felt at a loss, hesitated to make some gestures, such as stretching out her hand, or throwing herself into his arms, but finally couldn't do it, and froze on the spot.

Gu Xingyan noticed it, understood a little, raised his hand to caress her slender arm, "Go."

With a hum, Ji Wanling silently removed it from his palm, turned around and sank into the darkness.

Gu Xingyan suddenly reflected that the drama he had admired for many years seemed a little too calm at this moment, and he said again:
"Wan Ling."

This solid sound made Ji Wanling's heart tremble, not throbbing, but more helpless.

She stopped and didn't turn around.

"Come back safely, I'll wait for you."

For her, it is a lover's reluctance.Although the facts are different, Gu Xingyan does hope that she returns safely, out of many years of friendship; at the same time, there are also strategic considerations.

Ji Wanling hummed again, and joined Heng'er, the master and servant completely disappeared into the dark night.

Gu Xingyan turned to go to the palace.

Riding the horse alone, to be quick, seeing Chunfeng succinctly: "Where are the female soldiers you brought back? Send them out immediately, follow Ji Wanling, and head west."

Chunfeng was dumbfounded: "Who?"

"If it's too late, we won't be able to catch up. Tell them to be careful, and don't be discovered."

[1] Half of Siluo's sentence is translated from Hong Fu's words in "The Biography of the Curly Beard" in the Tang Dynasty: "Siluo is not an only child, and she would like to rely on a tree, so she came to her ears."

　Tomorrow night Xuege, an important event, will determine the future trend.Then turn the angle of view to the west and north, and post in several places at the same time~ I saw everyone’s comments today, it’s not that complicated!All the previous foreshadowings are superimposed, so it is naturally pushed to this step, but it is true that there are many clues and many people. If you look at it day by day, it is easy to fail to connect. If you continue to look back, it will be clear.This episode is long, because it involves everyone's choice and fate, but I wrote it quickly and smoothly, because I don't have to worry about laying out all kinds of things haha.In short, babies, take it easy and watch it. If you can’t figure it out for a while, don’t think about it. Listen to me one by one.
