Chapter 206: Mr. Gu Plays Pitifully

Chunzhi's first letter home was written to Queen Wang.

She had seen Queen Wang so anxious about Huo Zheng that she could hardly stand, so the first sentence she wrote in the letter was to tell Queen Wang that Huo Zheng was still alive.

Huo Zheng had not clarified the news of his death in Xizhou immediately beforehand because he wanted to better counterattack the people of Xiling and the rebels. Moreover, Xizhou and the capital were too far apart, and even if the battle report was sent back urgently over a distance of 800 miles, it would still take several days.

Now that the battle was won, the news that Huo Zheng was still alive had spread throughout both military camps, and a battle report would naturally be sent back to the capital, but Chunzhi wanted to tell her mother more about Huo Zheng's situation in Xizhou.

She actually seldom wrote, and this was her first time writing a letter home, so she sat very straight when she picked up the pen, and her handwriting was very neat, stroke by stroke.

Counting the days, Xiaoxinghui had been in Qiwu Palace for quite a few days. Chunzhi missed her child so much that she wrote an extra page without realizing it. When she finally put down her pen, she had filled up two large sheets of paper. She blew the ink off the paper and put it in a letter envelope, wrote the four big characters "From the Queen Mother", and then started to write the second letter.

Chunzhi's second letter was written to her parents. Mu Kaiji came to Xizhou with her and suffered a lot along the way. Her brother has always taken care of her. Chunzhi felt warm in her heart when she wrote a letter to assure him of his safety.

It’s nice to have family around.

She was an orphan for ten years, and the relatives she finally found treated her very well.

The third letter was written to Yuzhu, who was taking care of the backyard in the Chang'an Palace. Chunzhi thought that she could just tell Song Wan'er and the others, but when she started writing, she suddenly remembered the person that Yuzhu wanted to ask about before leaving the palace. She had not seen him since she came to Xizhou.

She was so busy talking to Huo Zheng last night that she didn't even ask how Gu Yuanjia was doing. She only remembered it when she was about to write a letter to Yuzhu.

"Someone come here." Chunzhi shouted out the window.

A maid immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here. What can I do for you, Princess?"

Chunzhi said, "The prince has a young master named Gu Yuanjia by his side. Do you know how he is doing now?"

The maid bowed her head and said, "I serve in the inner chambers and have never met that Master Gu. If the princess wants to know how Master Gu is doing now, I will go to ask Madam."

Chunzhi ink was already ground, and he was just waiting to write about how Gu Yuanjia was doing. Upon hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then please make the trip."

"Princess, please wait a moment. I will be right there."

The maidservant said this and immediately trotted to the front yard.

Chunzhi waited for a while and ground some more ink.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside, and there was more than one person coming.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Yuanjia coming with the wind, his wide sleeves fluttering. He was truly a handsome young man in this world, with outstanding appearance and demeanor.

The little maid who led him walked with her head down, and even her ears were red.

Perhaps out of consideration for status and gender differences, Gu Yuanjia stopped outside the window, bowed to Chunzhi and said, "I am honored to receive your inquiry, Princess."

Chunzhi was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Yuanjia coming over in person.

The maid explained, "I went to the front yard to look for Madam, and happened to run into Master Gu there. He asked me to bring him over to pay his respects to the princess..."

Gu Yuanjia had been busy outside for two days and had not slept all night. Just as he was ordered by Huo Zheng to return to the general's mansion to rest, he met this little maid who came to Madam Wang to inquire about him.

When he asked, he found out that it was Princess Chang'an who wanted to know about his recent situation, so she asked someone to lead the way and come here.

Gu Yuanjia knew clearly that it was not the princess who wanted to know how he was doing.

It was obvious that Yuzhu wanted to know.

Ever since Master Gu came to Xizhou, he has lost contact with Yuzhu. People from the palace came to deliver people, letters and things to the Prince of Chang'an, but there was no share for him.

Even though he knew that Yuzhu didn't miss him at all, he couldn't help feeling sad.

It was rare for her to want to know about his recent situation, so Gu Yuanjia's tiredness disappeared immediately and he came to see the princess immediately.

Chunzhi looked at Gu Yuanjia twice. There was nothing wrong with the young master Gu outside the window except that he looked a little thinner and had some dark circles under his eyes.

But since everyone was here, Chunzhi still asked a few questions, "Mr. Gu has been suffering with the prince in Xizhou these days, and he looks a little thinner."

Gu Yuanjia said, "I can't say I've suffered much hardship. I've just been through a few assassination attempts and been injured. It's inevitable that I've lost some weight due to my injuries."

Chunzhi thought to herself: Remember this: Gu Yuanjia was assassinated and injured in Xizhou.

But she also felt a little strange, "What have you done since you came to Xizhou? Why are you being assassinated so frequently?"

It is not surprising that someone with Huo Zheng's status would be targeted and assassinated.

But Gu Yuanjia didn't hold any official position yet, so how could he be targeted?

Gu Yuanjia said calmly, "I didn't do anything. I just helped His Majesty with his plans."

Chunzhi raised her eyes and looked at him. "Then tell me, how do you come up with your plans?"

Gu Yuanjia smiled and asked, "Princess, are you sure you want to listen?"

Chunzhi thought about it and felt that Master Gu's advice to Huo Zheng was all about state affairs and war, which Yuzhu might not be interested in, so she said, "It's okay if you don't tell me."

Then she asked again, "How are your injuries?"

"It gets better and worse, but it always hurts." Gu Yuanjia sighed softly, "I'm alone in a foreign land, with no one to take care of me..."

Chunzhi didn't believe this, "Will there be no one to take care of you, Master Gu?"

Not to mention that Gu Yuanjia is an extremely capable person around Prince Chang'an, which can be seen from the fact that he lives in the general's mansion. If he is injured, how could Mrs. Wang not arrange someone to take care of him?

Even if Mrs. Wang really neglected it, how could the Gu family neglect their own eldest son?

I don’t know why Gu Yuanjia is trying to be so pitiful!

Chunzhi thought about this and wondered: Could it be that he knows that I am going to write a letter to Yuzhu?

Gu Yuanjia said seriously, "It's a chaotic situation, and we don't even have enough manpower."

Chunzhi looked at Mr. Gu without saying anything.

In terms of appearance, family background, talent and ability, Gu Yuanjia is excellent.

But he is just too good, this man is outstanding in every way, which makes Yuzhu dare not even dream of him.

Yuzhu left the Gu family while pregnant. She didn't know how much hardship she went through before she came to the capital, married her cousin and gave birth to Nian'er. She just wanted to live a stable life for the rest of her life and raise her child well. She didn't want Gu Yuanjia to know about what happened, and she didn't want to be entangled with him.

But fate plays a cruel trick on them, always entangled Gu Yuanjia and Yuzhu together.

Chunzhi thought it would be nice if Yuzhu married Gu Yuanjia.

But for a man like Mr. Gu, who knows how long he will care about Yuzhu?

For these men who are born with everything, women are like things, what they can't get is the best.

Who knows if the reason why Gu Yuanjia can't let go of Yuzhu now is because she didn't curry favor with him like others did, but kept avoiding him?
