Chapter 310 Crazy
Gu Jinyuan brought only Gu Fan to Gu Shiyin's tent.

Gu Shiyin motioned for a few guards to guard outside.

Gu Jinyuan has already learned of Gu Shiyin's intentions. Now, Yu Wenjin has formed an alliance with Xia Guo, and the Xia army is holding back the main force of the Chinese army, which weakens the strength of the allied army.

To completely repel the enemy army, Xia Guo is a very important factor.

Therefore, on the one hand, the allied forces wanted to stabilize Yuwen Jin on the Riyue Mountain side, and on the other hand, they needed to send people to Xia Guo to persuade him to withdraw from the war.

The emperor of Xia has a close relationship with Yu Wenjin, and it is most appropriate for the prince of Ning to be the one to lobby the emperor of Xia.

"My nephew is willing to leave for Xia Guo immediately, and he will definitely persuade the emperor of Xia Guo to withdraw from the war!" Gu Jinyuan was determined, with firm eyes and a calm demeanor, "If anything happens, I will trouble Emperor Yu to preside over the government."

Gu Shiyin nodded slightly, and said with certainty: "You will never be surprised."

As he said that, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, you need to be careful when you go to Xia Guo secretly this time, and don't let anyone else find out."

Once the news reached Yu Wenjin or Gu Jincheng's ears, it would be a waste of time.

Gu Jinyuan was silent, and then he said: "I have considered this point, and there are many eyes and ears in the army. Before I secretly leave the barracks, I need to find someone to pretend to be me and stay in the barracks instead of me."

After all, both Gu Jinyuan and Gu Shiyin were thinking about who should pretend to be him.

This person needs to be someone they are very familiar with, who will never betray, and who also has the ability to adapt to changes.

At this time, Gu Fan, who was standing beside Gu Jinyuan, came out and said, "My lord, Your Highness, I have always been good at disguising myself and imitating other people's voices, why don't you let me stay in the barracks instead of His Highness."

Gu Shiyin stared, looked at Gu Fan, and couldn't help but wonder.

Gu Jinyuan was also slightly surprised, "But you are a girl."

"Gu Zhun is a big man, he can pretend to be a woman, I just pretend to be a man, the difficulty is lower than his." Gu Fan smiled softly, and then she said: "Wait for me for a while, wait for me to change clothes and come back , take a look again."

Gu Fan quickly went over to disguise himself.

Not long after, she was wearing an apricot-yellow robe, tied her hair with a golden crown, and waving a folding fan with ink paintings in her hand.

Both Gu Shiyin and Gu Jinyuan were stunned. If it wasn't for her big watery eyes, they would really have taken her for some handsome young master.

"Now, you two won't object, right?" Gu Fan turned around in front of them, then closed the folding fan and placed it in the palm of his hand.

Gu Jinyuan thought to himself, as long as the body shape fits better, the distance is farther, and the light is poorer, there is basically no problem.

Gu Fan's eyes turned, she thought for a while, and said: "Sixteen, you travel day and night from here to Xia Guo, and it takes more than 20 days to go back and forth, plus you need to stay in Xia Guo for a few days, It will take about a month in total.”

"This month, there should be no major problems."

"How about this, if I'm fine, I'll pretend to be poisoned and recuperate in the camp. If I have to go out, I'll put on a helmet."

Anyway, she knows everything about Gu Jinyuan clearly, and if others try to find out from habits and words, they will not be able to find out anything.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyin said to Gu Jinyuan: "If you agree to let her stay in the army on your behalf, I have no objection."

Gu Jinyuan looked at her confident face, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded.

After the decision was made, Gu Jinyuan bid farewell to Gu Shiyin that night, and quietly set off for Xia Guo. Only a few people knew about it.

Qian Feifei reluctantly hugged him and bid him farewell.

Gu Jinyuan also looked at her affectionately, promising to come back as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Gu Jinyuan turned his head and expressed his sincere thanks to Gu Fan.

"Gu Fan, I have to trouble you for a while." He said in a hoarse voice.

Gu Fan's throat was astringent, and he forced out a smile with difficulty.

"My late father had a last word, asking me to protect His Highness the Crown Prince no matter what. I was only fulfilling my late father's wish."

As she spoke, she took a whistle made of shells from her fair and slender neck and handed it to Gu Jinyuan.

"It's just that this time, I can't follow His Royal Highness to Xia Guo, and I hope His Highness can bring this whistle."

Because Gu Jinyuan already has Qian Feifei, he doesn't need this whistle anymore.

Gu Jinyuan took a look and saw the colorful color and broken gaps on the shells, so he remembered that this was the year when he was just rescued from the prison, and when he learned that the Taifu's house was ransacked, he made it out of shells. Two whistles, one for the young little Gu Fan and one for himself.

At that time, he saw Gu Fan crying helplessly, and after giving her the whistle, he said that the two of them depend on each other for life, as long as one of them blows the whistle, the other will definitely come.

At that time, Gu Fan was too young to understand that the sound of a whistle could not travel very far, so he believed it naively.

For many years after that, she still carried the whistle with her.

Gu Jinyuan was silent for a moment, then he held the whistle tightly in his palm.

*
The cold winter is gradually coming, and the snow-capped mountains are covered with clouds and mist.

Madam Yu sat in her pavilion, as usual, boredly cooking tea, and occasionally, Danfeng eyes on the black jacquard veil glanced at the blue sky.

She sat by the window until evening.

When the sky darkened, Madam Yu heard a bird song in her ears, and she couldn't help but slowly raised her eyelids.

"What kind of bird is this?" Madam Yu asked suspiciously as she looked at the row of black spots flying back and forth in the dark night sky in the distance.

The maid who served beside her took a look and replied, "Ma'am, this is an owl."

owl?Madam Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, after listening, she thought to herself, how did she live in such a muddle these days, that she doesn't even recognize an owl.

Then, she thought again, it seemed that for the past few years, all her heart was focused on seeking revenge from Gu Ziheng, and she didn't care about other things at all, or in other words, she had lost her heart long ago.

Gu Ziheng... Scenes from the past echoed in her mind again, she subconsciously raised her hand, and stroked her cheek through the veil.

Until now, she still doesn't understand why Gu Ziheng puts all of his heart on Yuxin after she entered Ningguo's harem and devoted herself to Gu Ziheng and her son.

Obviously she has the same face as Yu Xin.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you? Are you upset when you hear the owl's cries?" Seeing that her expression was wrong, the servant girl said anxiously, "Slave servant, let's get those damned owls driven away."

Madam Yu narrowed her eyes, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, but when did Riyue Mountain have so many owls?"

She remembered that in the past, although there were owls in Riyue Mountain, the number was very small and they would not fly over in groups at all.

"I don't know, either." The maid hurriedly turned around, trying to find someone to chase the owl away.

As she walked, she murmured: "Really, I don't know how this kind of mourning bird would fly here. It's so unlucky."

An owl announces a funeral?Madam Yu's eyes turned cold, and her heart suddenly suffocated.

When I looked up at the sky again, the owls had already hid in the canopy of the pine trees.

However, she still remembered the direction the owl flew over, it was the southeast, the direction where Ningguo was.

Could it be that something happened to Ningguo?

As Madam Yu thought about it, she became more and more puzzled.

It seems that these days, she and several generals who came back from the battlefield inquired about the news of the outside world, but they all faltered.

"Come here." After a while, Madam Yu called the maidservant, with anger in her eyes, "Tell me, apart from the wars, what other important things have happened in Ningguo these days?"

The servant girl looked confused, and kept saying: "Madam, the servant girl has been serving in the palace. The servant girl doesn't know what happened outside, and they won't let me ask."

"Not allowed to ask?" Madam Yu frowned, then she asked the other maidservants and got the same answer.

That was the news that Yu Wenjin deliberately blocked. What did Yu Wenjin fear she would know?
Madam Yu suddenly corrected her expression, got up, and quickly walked towards the door.

"Where are you going, ma'am?" The maidservants panicked.

Madam Yu didn't answer, she wanted to ask Yu Wenjin face to face.

"Mother and concubine don't need to go to find Prince Yuwen." At this time, a gentle voice sounded in Madam Yu's ear, and Gu Jincheng stopped her at the door, "I will tell you what happened in Ningguo, how about it?"

Madam Yu's footsteps stopped, she grabbed Gu Jincheng's sleeve eagerly, and asked, "Jincheng, hurry up, tell me quickly."

A heart was pounding, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

Gu Jincheng smiled, his eyes were gentle, like the warm sun.

He let Madam Yu pull his clothes, and then slowly confided: "Father, he... died."

Madam Yu was startled, only to feel a bang in her head and a chill in her heart, as if something collapsed in an instant.

Gu Ziheng actually died!
Gu Jincheng looked at her pale complexion and unbelievable eyes, and continued: "Now, it is the national mourning period in Ningguo, and the whole country is wearing mourning for the father."

"Look, even the owls have heard the news of the death, haven't they come to report to you?"

"No..." Madam Yu murmured, she lowered her eyes in fear, and stepped back step by step, with her footsteps vain.

And when she took a step back, Gu Jincheng took a step forward, reminding her that what she heard was the truth.

"Mother and concubine, you are not acting right. Don't you hate the emperor the most? You should be happy when he is dead. Why can't the child see any joy on your face?"

"Don't talk about it!" Madam Yu hugged her head in dismay, and ran to the window, panting heavily.

She hasn't let Gu Ziheng see the retribution with her own eyes, how could he pass away so easily!
No, even in hell, she still has to pester him!
The maid behind her saw that Madam Yu was about to climb out of the window and jump off the attic, and hurried to hold her back.

There was no warmth in Gu Jincheng's eyes, as if the woman in front of him was not his mother and concubine at all.

He glanced at the maidservants present, and said with a soft smile: "Wait a minute, you know what to say when you see Prince Yuwen, don't let me remind you again, understand?"

The servants bowed their heads one by one.

When Madam Yu was caught, she frantically pulled her hair, and accidentally tore off the veil.

It was a face covered with scars, intertwined like leeches.

When the maidservants saw it, their hearts trembled. They screamed and rushed to report to Yu Wenjin.

"Fourth prince, madam... she is crazy!"

Yu Wenjin was in the study, learning about the battle situation with several generals, and his face turned pale when he heard the news.
