famous eldest daughter

Chapter 758 Cang Lan
After saluting, he suddenly remembered something that he hadn't reported yet, so he said again: "I met a Canglan man in Baoding Mansion."

Gu Yuqing was relieved because he had ordered Zhou Bingde to go to Hangzhou, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Since the news of the Queen's funeral came out, it has only been six or seven days, but Canglan is thousands of miles away from our court. In just six or seven days, they have arrived?
According to the distance, it may be difficult to travel day and night at full speed.

"Are you sure you are from Canglan?" Gu Yuqing took a deep breath, calmed her expression, and temporarily put aside the matter of Luo Yao and Tu Wenchuan.

Zhou Bingde immediately said: "I'm sure, I used to hunt and did game business with the Canglan people. Although I can't understand what they are saying in Canglan dialect, I can tell that they are Canglan people."

"When you met them in Baoding, they openly spoke Canglan dialect?" Gu Yuqing asked again.

Zhou Bingde shook his head, "I made an appointment with the steward of the Tu family to have dinner at the largest restaurant in Baoding Mansion. When the steward of the Tu family went upstairs, I went out from the private room to greet him. Those Canglan people happened to be having a drink next to the elegant room where I ordered them. They passed by At the door, I heard someone speaking in Canglan dialect, but he only said a few words before he was stopped by others, and then he changed his voice to Kyoto dialect."

"While chatting with the steward of the Tu family, the servant asked him about the Canglan people coming to Baoding Mansion, but he said he didn't know. The Tu family is the largest merchant in Baoding. If there are Canglan people coming overtly or secretly, they should It was earlier than the government got the news, but there were Canglan people sitting next door, but he said he didn’t know, if he wasn’t lying, or those Canglan people were really hiding it tightly.”

Zhou Bingde reported back one by one his speculations and analysis, together with the situation at the time.

Gu Yuqing listened, his mind was like thunder, and when he finished speaking, he turned his head to Jixiang and said, "Just now, what Zhou Bingde said, did you remember everything?"

Ji Xiang nodded.

Gu Yuqing said again: "Go to the residence of His Highness the Fourth Highness now, and tell him exactly what Zhou Bingde said."

Gu Yuqing said with a solemn expression and a dignified tone, Jixiang accepted the order and left immediately as promised.

After Zhou Bingde finished everything he wanted to report, since he would consult with the old steward of the house tomorrow before leaving for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Gu Yuqing sent him to go and rest first.

As soon as Zhou Bingde left, Gu Yuqing helped Ruyi all the way back to the boudoir. The burning red candle was flickering, and her mind was spinning thousands of times, and her thoughts were rushing.

On the day of the Queen's funeral, the Canglan Kingdom will definitely send royal personnel to express their condolences. Although there was a scandal in the palace today and all the national mourning was cancelled, the people of the Canglan Kingdom will not turn back halfway.

After all, nine times out of ten they came for another purpose.

So are the Canglan people who appeared in Baoding Mansion at this moment the condolence envoys sent by the Canglan Kingdom?

If so, since they arrived at Baoding Prefecture so quickly, which was only half a day's journey from Kyoto, why did they stop and rest in Baoding Prefecture when they had been galloping all the way? Do they still care about the hard work of this short half day?

What's more, if they are indeed condolences envoys from the Canglan Kingdom, the Baoding parents will definitely know when they enter the territory of Baoding. As the parents of the dynasty, there is no reason why they should not welcome envoys from friendly countries. According to what Zhou Bingde said, The fact that they ate in a restaurant was clearly a private act and had nothing to do with the officialdom of Baoding Prefecture.

Some people uttered Canglan's words and were stopped. It can be seen that they are in Baoding Mansion and they don't want others to know their identities. If this is the case, it means that the Baoding parents and officials don't know the existence of this group of Canglan people.

But if they are not envoys of condolences, or have nothing to do with the people who came to express condolences, then such a group of Canglan people who secretly infiltrated our court must have evil intentions.

He let out a long sigh, blowing the flames jumping to one side and deflecting them a little. Looking at the red candlelight in front of him, Gu Yuqing frowned deeply.

Unfortunately, when it comes to Canglan Country, she no longer has the innate advantage of being reincarnated. In her last life, she knew almost nothing about Canglan Country.

Even in this life, she has an ancient divine jade in front of her, but because of the Wangjiazhuang incident, her mission has not been completely completed. The divine jade has been reluctant to show up. The only value of this divine jade at present is just a piece of jade. Just a nice-looking accessory.

Canglan Country...

With these three words in her mouth, Ruyi pushed open the door and walked in with a stack of books. Following Gu Yuqing's instructions, she would move all the books about the Canglan Kingdom in the study.

The study was not far from Gu Yuqing's boudoir. In addition, the floor in the study was not very warm, and three parts of his soul were imprisoned by the jade. Gu Yuqing was more afraid of the cold than in the previous life. If he wanted to read, he had to move the book to her warm boudoir.

She eagerly absorbs everything about Canglan Country that can be found in books.

About the time when the gate of the city was set, Jixiang finally came back with snow flakes as big as goose feathers on his head and body. Through a door in the inner room, he saw Jixiang's body covered in silver at a glance. Gu Yuqing couldn't help but put down the scroll in his hand, "Is it snowing?"

I got up and walked to the window, leaned out and looked outside. Only then did I realize that the sky outside was dark red, the howling north wind had stopped at some point, and only a heavy snowfall was falling silently. , the snowflakes are like goose feathers, falling quickly and densely. Such a layer of snow seems to cover up all the secrets in the world.

Little do they know that when the sun rises and the snow melts, those hidden secrets will be exposed to the broad daylight along with the underground mud.

Ji Xiang took off his coat that was soaked by the snow, and while warming his body, he nodded and said: "It's snowing, so heavy snow. I have never seen such heavy snow in these years. This servant came out from the residence of His Highness the Fourth Prince." It just started to fall at this time, and by the time we arrived at our house, the snow was already so thick."

As she spoke, Jixiang made gestures on her feet.

After his body was warmed up, he walked to Gu Yuqing and reported back: "The servant told the Fourth Highness exactly what Brother Zhou said. The Fourth Highness immediately ordered Minglu to lead the team to Baoding Mansion to find out what happened. The Fourth Highness said , there will be a letter tomorrow afternoon at the latest, so Miss can sleep peacefully."

"His Royal Highness the Fourth also said that when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. Only after the young lady has rested her energy can she face those monsters, ghosts, and snakes side by side with him."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, she knew that Xiao Yu was trying to comfort her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

In this room, under Ji Xiangruyi's service, Gu Yuqing read a book for another half an hour, washed up and went to bed. In the other room at Prince Pingxi's Mansion, the prince and his concubine were sleeping on the same bed and talking.

"I sent someone to check on Xiaoliu Shuxiang." The prince mentioned Xiaoliu Shuxiang with a strong sense of disgust, "That He Zhinian is really not a thing!"
