Chapter 96 Birthday Celebration
It had only been a month since Gu Yuchu had left. Emperor Ming claimed to be ill, and Qi frame was in charge of all matters in the court. Although Dong Qi had not established a prince, Emperor Ming's intention was already clear.

Qi Jian was busy with government affairs, and Gun Nanxi was taken back to her by Princess Chaoyang to recuperate her health. Gu Yuxin was still awkward because of Qi Jian's ruthlessness towards her sister, and the Prince of Qin's palace seemed deserted.

Today is the birthday of Qi Jie. Emperor Ming chose this day to announce to the world that he was ill and that King Qin would assist him in military affairs. Although the edict did not explicitly appoint him as the crown prince, the world had already understood it tacitly. There are no surprises or criticisms.

A double happiness came to the Prince of Qin's house. Emperor Ming also knew that his son did not like to be greeted with courtesy, so he did not organize a birthday banquet for him and only allowed him to rest at home.

The door of Prince Qin's palace was closed tightly and no one would accept gifts or visits.

When Gun Nanxi was in confinement, the Prince of Qin's Palace did not send anyone to pick her up. She was too embarrassed to go back to the palace by herself because of her face. It happened to be Qi Jie's birthday, so the Prince of Nanchang and his wife used this staircase to send their daughter back.

Xu Zhang prepared a family dinner, but Gu Yuxin refused to attend, claiming to be ill. Qi Jian reluctantly accompanied King Nanchang and Princess Chaoyang to have dinner at Zhuxuetai. Afterwards, they returned home, but he ignored Gun Nanxi's pleas to stay. I went back to the study very early.

He sat in a daze on the Taishi chair. He was not used to such leisure time, and he always thought of that woman unconsciously.

"Prince?" Xiao Yuan knocked on the door.

"Come in." Qi Zhi recovered his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the people sent by Princess Chaoyang prepared the food in secret and did not disturb the princess."

"Where is she now?"

"I just arrived in Tongcheng a few days ago. After that, she deliberately got rid of the secret guard. No trace has been found yet." Xiao Yuan knew that he had neglected his duty and was very ashamed.

"The legs and feet are here very quickly." Qi Jian said to himself, but when he saw Xiao Yuan lowering his head and looking very remorseful, his tone seemed to be comforting, "Okay, you have been following me for so long before I was discovered. , It’s not easy anymore, let’s go down.”

"Yes." Xiao Yuan felt relieved when he heard that the prince did not blame him. Before leaving, he informed King Qin that Liansheng was outside asking for an audience.

"What is she here for?" Qi Jian frowned, very unhappy. If this girl hadn't reported the knowledge, he wouldn't have been plotted by Gu Yuchu without realizing it. He originally wanted to deal with this girl, but thinking about her past Serving Linyue Pavilion was a good job, so he endured it.

"Let her in."

Xiao Yuan retreated, and then Liansheng tiptoed into the house carrying the pear wood box.

"What's the matter?" Qi Zhan closed his eyes and calmed down, his tone was very impatient.

"My lord, I found this when I was cleaning up the princess's house." Liansheng whispered timidly.

"What is this?" He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw the box in her hand.

"Last year, the prince went on an expedition to the East China Sea and missed his birthday. When the princess stayed in the palace, she specially prepared a gift for you, but she didn't send it out later. I can't figure out the reason."

"Leave it alone, go down."

Qi Jian's heart tightened, and he was actually a little nervous. When he returned home from the war last year, he openly and secretly asked her for gifts, but she never mentioned it. Unexpectedly, he secretly prepared them for himself.

When Liansheng exited the study, he couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and a set of blue clothes lay quietly inside.

Qi Jian felt a burst of warmth in his heart, followed by a burst of sadness.

At dinner that day, she must have seen herself wearing clothes made by Yu Xin, so she silently collected the congratulatory gift.

He undressed and put on the clothes. They were neither too big nor too small, and they fit him perfectly.He unfolded his sleeves, looked at himself, and smiled bitterly.That woman Gu Yuchu tried her best to escape from him, but he himself was so reluctant to let her go, but he had to indulge her willfulness and let her go.

They must all face the truth of the old case calmly. Only by unraveling this knot can they have the opportunity to stay together for a lifetime.

I hope she can think clearly and return to herself one day.

Qi Zhen carefully polished every stitch of the dress. Compared to Gu Yu Xin's craftsmanship, this piece was indeed a bit rough, but it was precisely this that made her thoughtfulness even more precious.

Unexpectedly, he opened his sleeves and found that there was a moon hidden behind auspicious clouds embroidered on the side of the sleeves.

Xuan Yue is also the first month of the month. She quietly embroidered her name in such an inconspicuous place. Is she hoping that she will know it or not?

Love is deep in the heart but hidden in expression. What a fool.

Kai frame opened the door, stepped into the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and his thoughts were misty.

The night was spreading and the moon was shining brightly.I wonder if there is anyone on the other side of the moon who is as lovesick as him.

On the top of Guxia Mountain in Tongcheng, Gu Yuchu was sitting by the fire, looking up at the cold bright moon in the distance.

During these days of running away, she had actually noticed that someone was following her. She knew that Princess Chaoyang would not let her go easily, but she did not move. She just wanted to take the opportunity to find out the traces of the secret guards of Prince Qin's palace, so that she would not have to do it herself. , and can completely get rid of the control of frame start.

Going to Hehe Kingdom requires taking the waterway, but Tongcheng is not the only way to go. However, on the night of the family banquet, Zhang Mengyi mentioned that she met Qi Jian in Tongcheng, so Gu Yuchu came to this place by accident.

It's ridiculous to say that the man lingered between the two sisters and refused to decide, and Yuchi deceived her so much in the old case, but she herself still missed him so much. Gu Yuchu sighed deeply.

She fiddled with the fire, and the flames were bright. Compared with the bright moon in the sky, she felt that she was just like the flames. They looked bright but were actually vulnerable.

The soft and waxy girl escaped from the entanglement of the three people, and she tried her best to fulfill the deep love between him and Gu Yuxin. She hoped that from now on, she could live up to her time and forget him forever.

Early the next morning, Gu Yuchu set off down the mountain to cross Lingshui. She spent a golden bean to buy a ferry.

She was dressed in men's clothing and accompanied by a dagger. She was not eye-catching along the way, but it was this golden bean that made the boatman look at her with admiration.

Of course she understood what the package of golden beans in Qi Jian was, and it was just used to track her lead.Facing the vast Lingshui, Gu Yuchu sat on the bow of the boat, weighed his money bag, and groaned.

When she was in Tongcheng, she had already exchanged the golden beans for gold leaves at [-]% off, leaving only this one to pay the ferryman.

She couldn't tell why, it was like a game of chasing each other. Outside of Dong Qi, she didn't want to see the true strength of King Qin.

"Sir, are you going home or crossing a long distance?" The boatman saw that she had been silent and was lonely on the ferry, so he found a topic to chat with her.

Returning home or traveling far away?Gu Yuchu didn't even know that in the vastness of Jiuzhou, she no longer had a home, and that the world was so far away, how could she hide her sincerity?

"Go home." She replied calmly. Compared with the desolation of traveling far away, a little broken hope in her heart could barely add some warmth to this lonely person wandering alone.

"Qiongzhou is now under the guard of Beiling's army and horses. It's not peaceful. Young master, it's better to be careful." The boatman warned.

"Thank you." She nodded in thanks, but did not change her path.
