Chapter 92 The prince instigates Gu Yunfei!
In the East Palace.
The Crown Prince sneezed one after another, and the palace attendant came forward worriedly and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to summon the imperial physician to check your pulse?"
The prince said nonchalantly, "No need. I am in good health. It must be my cousin who missed me. I will go find her after I finish practicing calligraphy."
The palace maids retreated silently, not daring to disturb the prince from practicing calligraphy.
After the prince finished practicing calligraphy, the palace maid quickly brought water for him to wash his hands.
"Your Highness, the Empress just sent someone to tell you that the Princess and her husband have entered the palace. They asked you to have lunch in the Empress's palace after you finish practicing."
The prince always felt that he had forgotten something. After being reminded by the palace servants, he finally remembered that his aunt and uncle would come to the palace today.
My father will definitely hold my uncle accountable for what I said yesterday. If he gives me away, I'm afraid he will be in trouble.
The prince suddenly felt that this meal was not a must.
"Send someone to tell Mother Queen and Mother Gu. I'll go as soon as I'm done with my work here. And by the way, secretly find out if Father and Lord Gu have had any quarrels."
The prince thought it would be better to find out the truth. He couldn't handle his uncle's talk. Now he only begged his father not to betray him.
The palace maid bowed and withdrew, going to the Empress's palace to reply on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to inquire about the situation of the Emperor and Lord Gu.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up the book and continued to review.
After a while, the palace maid came back. After learning that his father and uncle were safe and sound, the prince happily went to the queen's palace.
After the prince came in, he bowed obediently to several people, but was glared at by the emperor. The prince lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look his father in the eye.
Gu Ting felt that the emperor was just looking for trouble. He didn't treat him well at first, and now he was not treating the prince well either.
"Your Majesty, a bad mood before a meal affects your digestion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just arrived and didn't provoke you, so why are you so fierce?"
What Gu Ting said was a bit like green tea. Not only did he complain to the eldest princess and the queen, he also spoke well of the prince and provoked the emperor and the prince.
The emperor was so angry that he laughed. He really wanted to know if Gu Ting would still say the same thing if he knew that the prince was the one who spread the rumor.
But he was stopped by the eyes of the Queen and the eldest princess, and the emperor's secret intention of making trouble gave up.
Gu Ting wondered if the emperor was too tired recently and wasn't in a normal mental state, as his expression changed so quickly.
The queen was afraid that the emperor would not give up, so she quickly ordered someone to serve lunch, and the matter was finally over.
The emperor was relieved to confirm that Gu Yunlang had been found and was just unwilling to come back for the time being, but he was still a little worried.
"Are the children safe in Qinjia Village? How about sending a few secret guards to protect them?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Ting felt that the emperor's people would be wasted if they were not used in vain, so he quickly expressed his gratitude.
The eldest princess thought that it was not impossible. It would be safer if someone protected them in secret.
"Then I will send people over as soon as possible. One month will pass quickly." The emperor is now looking forward to the next month.
"Father, you have always said that you want to train me. Why don't you let me handle this matter?" The prince replied in a flattering manner.
The emperor thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity, so he handed the matter over to the prince.
The prince was very happy to receive the task, and started to do it after lunch.
He first personally selected six secret guards, and then went to the Princess's Mansion to find Gu Yunfei.
Gu Yunfei was a little surprised when she saw her cousin the prince. Her father and mother had not returned from the palace yet, but the prince came to the door first.
"But what happened to Daddy and Mommy?"
"Sister Yunfei, don't be nervous. Uncle and Aunt are fine. It's Yan'er (the prince's name is Zhao Yan) who wants to talk to you."
Gu Yunfei finally felt relieved. As long as her father and mother were not in trouble, it would be fine. Anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal if the prince came to see her.
"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time that requires your sister's help."
Gu Yunfei has become accustomed to Prince Zhao Yan's requests for help.
"Sister Yunfei, my father wants to send secret guards to my cousin. I personally selected six of them."
Prince Zhao Yan's words were so incoherent that Gu Yunfei didn't react for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Yunfei didn't understand what he meant, Zhao Yan added another sentence.
"We are very safe now with the secret guards. I want to ask Sister Yunfei if she wants to go find cousin Yunlang."
Gu Yunfei was very tempted by Zhao Yan's proposal, but she was afraid that her father and mother would worry about her.
"But, Daddy and Mommy won't agree, and my brother will be back soon."
"They said it would take a month, but what if they take longer? Why don't we go find Yun Lang and take a look outside the capital."
Zhao Yan continued to fool Gu Yunfei, but in fact he just wanted to go out for some fun.
"We, you want to go too?" Gu Yunfei knew that her cousin had plans. It turned out that he wanted to go out and play.
"Sister Yunfei, let's go secretly. Six secret guards will protect us and ensure our safety. Go, go."
Gu Yunfei couldn't stand Zhao Yan's teasing like this, and she was already very moved, so she finally made up her mind and agreed.
She missed her brother so much, and now she also had her cousin, cousin-in-law, cousin brother, and cousin sister, so Gu Yunfei decided to take a risk.
"Then we'll set off tomorrow morning. Find a reason to go out, and we'll meet at the city gate."
"Oh, don't bring any luggage, but plenty of banknotes. We'll buy them when we get there. I've made all the inquiries. If you ride as fast as you can, we'll be there in less than a day."
Gu Yunfei nodded in agreement, fearing she would be caught and exposed if she brought the luggage.
The two discussed some other things and agreed on a meeting time before Zhao Yan returned to the palace.
Gu Yunfei sat in the room for a long time, and finally decided to follow Zhao Yan's advice and go to Qinjia Village.
He wrote a letter to the princess, took all the banknotes he had saved, and brought two mutton-fat jade bracelets to give to Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jingyao.
I went to bed early at night and went out early the next day.
When the eldest princess asked her daughter about breakfast, the nanny replied, "Princess, the princess said she wanted to have breakfast at Zuixianlou, so she left the house early this morning with Xia Zhi."
"This kid, if you want to eat, just ask the servants to buy it. Why did you go there yourself?"
The eldest princess didn't suspect anything, she just felt sorry for her daughter getting up early.
"Ever since we found the young prince, our princess's mood has been getting better and better."
The nanny's words made the eldest princess feel better. If her daughter likes it, then let her go. As long as her daughter is happy, it's fine.
Zhao Yan left a letter for the queen, asking the palace maids to deliver it after his mother had lunch, and then he left the palace with the secret guards.
When they arrived at the agreed location, Gu Yunfei was already waiting for him. Afraid of being caught, they chose to ride horses and take the official road, which was faster.
So when the Queen and the Princess saw the letter, Gu Yunfei and Zhao Yan were already halfway there, and it was too late to catch up.
The eldest princess never expected that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would become rebellious.
But she was not angry at all, her daughter had the capital to be willful.
