Chapter 238 Chapter 236 Princess's Concubine

Gu Hua received information from the Red Blood Phoenix and learned that the grain had been taken over by Wu Ruonan and transported to Hezhou, and Gao Yuanfang also went with people to help with the transportation.

After thinking for a while, Gu Hua wrote a letter and sent it to Gao Yuanfang, telling him to work hard in the future. He would not hold him responsible for his past experience in Nanjun, but if he dared to act cunningly and betray Gao Yuanfang again, he and his team would be killed without a single one left alive.

Gao Yuanfang felt mixed emotions when he received the handwritten letter sent by Gu Hua.

She was grateful for Gu Hua's broad-mindedness and kindness, but she also lamented that what she did in the past was not human. She ate other people's food and looked down on her because she was a woman. Gao Yuanfang slapped herself a few times in the face amidst everyone's strange looks.

"From now on, I, Gao Yuanfang, swear to follow Master Gu until death."

"Master Gu feeds us with good food and drink, and we, her subordinates, swear to be loyal to her till death..."

If Gu Hua knew that her real intention in doing so was not to force Gao Yuanfang to rebel and cause trouble for Wu Ruonan who was traveling with him.

Unexpectedly, this action aroused the guilt of Gao Yuanfang and his subordinates, and they vowed to follow her and be loyal to her until death. She could only say that this was a misunderstanding.

Gu Hua, who was originally going to take people to Hezhou City, changed his itinerary and went to Zizhou where Li Wei was going. He learned that a force over there threatened to kill everyone in Zizhou if they did not surrender and open the city gate.

Gu Hua readjusted the direction of the army, leaving Shen Hongwei and Luo Dingshan to lead a large number of troops to guard the Shuzhou City base camp.

Now many forces have learned that the several cities she manages are developing well, with prosperous trade and sufficient food. The people who heard that they had gathered here peacefully during the disaster and the poultry raised by the local residents are running all over the place.

Such a rich life and the chaotic scene outside seemed to be two different worlds. With so many resources and such a good place, how could it not attract the attention and covetousness of forces that only knew how to rob resources?

The people of Nanjun did not snatch food from Wu Ruonan and Gao Yuanfang because they were unwilling to give in. In addition, the imperial court did nothing after the disaster, local governments were corrupt and incompetent, and the various chaos made it impossible for the people to grow crops in peace, resulting in serious food shortages in many places.

Originally, the grain was to be transported to Hezhou, and Gu Hua planned to station some troops there.

In this way, whether Zizhou or Suizhou needs military support or food aid, it will be much more convenient to transfer them from Shuzhou.

Gu Hua said quietly, "Xu Zhuo, take your men to Hezhou as soon as possible. I'm worried that the people of Nanjun won't be able to grab that batch of food, so they will send troops to Hezhou to grab resources again."

"Yes." Xu Zhuo also thought of this possibility and accepted the order.

Shen Hongling frowned and said, "Levi led his men out two days ago. He may not have received the news that Zizhou was attacked by other forces."

Gu Hua tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment. Li Wei's information was definitely not as fast as his own intelligence network. He hoped that he could be more cautious and not be discovered by the enemy. Otherwise, if it was confirmed that he was the leader of Shuzhou, he might be surrounded.

Along with Gu Hua was a group of five hundred women dressed in black with scarlet blood phoenix patterns.

They broke away from the large force led by Shen Hongling and tried their best to catch up with the tens of thousands of troops led by Li Wei, hoping to intercept them before they were discovered and surrounded by the enemy on their way to Zizhou, so as to avoid heavy casualties.

Gu Hua was carrying a special sachet, which was a honey scent cultivated by the intelligence organization to communicate with carrier birds.

When Gu Hua was busy chasing Li Wei with five hundred red-blooded phoenixes, a blue bird landed on her shoulder and reached out to untie the small bamboo tube tied to the bird's claws. Gu Hua gently touched the bird's head and apologized: "I didn't feed you food at the moment, I will make sure you are full next time."

The bird stared at Gu Hua with its black bean-like eyes cutely, wondering why he had to work on an empty stomach today when he usually had food to eat when delivering letters.

Gu Hua raised his hand and let the bird fly away.

Riding on a horse did not prevent her from reading the information that Mu Yu sent from the capital.

"The emperor is dead." Gu Hua was somewhat shocked. "And he died in the belly of his favorite concubine. There have been very few emperors who died in such an ignominious way since ancient times."

According to the letter that was delivered, the emperor died suddenly on the belly of his favorite concubine, Concubine Yue, due to taking elixirs for a long time. He bled from all his orifices and died mad soon after. It was so shameful.

Moreover, for unknown reasons, Concubine Yue colluded with the third prince, Xiao Yang, who was banished to a desolate fiefdom by Emperor Xiao Junmo, and also joined forces with the Ji family of the Wenchang Marquisate and some powerful families, in an attempt to support Xiao Yang to take the throne and control the government of Daxuan.

……

Capital city, Grand Princess’s residence.

Xiao Qingzhi, who was born to the same mother as Xiao Junlin, was not very sad when she learned that her royal brother had died, but she lived in panic every day. She also knew that she had lost the protection of her closest relatives and the imperial power, and that someone would definitely hold her accountable for the evil things she had done in the past.

There was no shortage of ambitious people in the Princess's mansion. Under the instigation of several palace servants and concubines, Xiao Qingzhi plucked up the courage to go to the palace to question the emperor, and then take a little prince born by a concubine. With her status as the Princess, she supported him to take the throne and control the government.

If she, a lover named Song Wenjia, had not not wanted to be implicated by Xiao Qingzhi and be torn to pieces, she would have hurried over to let her see the situation in the court in time. She also tactfully mentioned how Xiao Yang was accused of treason and was about to be secretly executed by the emperor like his two half brothers.

The eldest princess, who ate both meat and vegetables, was found. Although he was her nephew, he was forced to enter the princess's mansion as a lover for three days and three nights before he was exiled to the desolate fiefdom to save his life.

Even Xiao Qingzhi, who was as stupid as she was, knew that if she dared to appear in front of her nephew Xiao Yang at this time, she would probably die miserably.

Seeing that this stupid woman Xiao Qingzhi was obedient, she immediately retreated to the princess's mansion.

This clear-headed concubine had already begun to secretly smooth over the relationship in the palace. He packed up the wealth he had accumulated over the years, and on a dark and windy night, he quickly slipped away for the sake of his life.

Anyway, he was forced by Xiao Qingzhi, who relied on her status as the eldest princess, to be her lover even though he was a scholar who came to the capital to take the imperial examination. Now the world is in chaos.

The eldest princess Xiao Qingzhi is unable to take care of herself, and the family members who were used to threaten her disappeared after the disaster. This time, he has done his best to remind this stupid woman that she is seeking death.

Song Wenjia never imagined that in troubled times, not only women and children walking alone would be abducted, but also the fair and handsome boy raised in the princess's mansion would be abducted while he was staying in the hotel.

When I woke up again, I was in a place full of handsome men.

What Song Wenjia couldn't believe was that this place actually hired people to train them on how to please men or women. This gave him a bad feeling...
