Chapter 219 Bai Ziyu climbs over the wall in the middle of the night
When the Third Prince rebelled and brought a large army to the palace, the uncle did not even frown. The only thing that could affect his mind was the woman far away in Yue State. Apart from her, Xuanyuan Yu could not think of anyone else.
"If I had known that the emperor's uncle cared so much about her, I should have helped him snatch her away when I returned to Qi."
Xuanyuan Yu sat down at the desk and saw several letters on the table, all of which were addressed: From Gu Siqing personally.
Seeing so many letters, Xuanyuan Yu was a little shocked. The emperor's uncle actually wrote so many letters.
"Do you have the ability to do this?" Bai Ziyu glanced at him coldly, and Xuanyuan Yu immediately became obedient.
He really didn't have this ability. If he had brought Gu Siqing with him at that time, he would probably not have been able to leave Yue State safely.
"In fact, the situation in Qi has been settled now. Since the emperor's uncle misses Miss Gu so much, why doesn't he go to see her?"
Xuanyuan Yu raised his hand to poke at the letters, but before he could touch them, Bai Ziyu slapped his hand away. Xuanyuan Yu gave him a look that said "really stingy", but didn't move.
"In the past two months, I have had someone send her a letter every day. Some of the letters were even written in advance, just in case they were sent late, but she has never replied."
Bai Ziyu sorted and folded the letters he sent to Gu Siqing, but they fell into the sea. If it wasn't for the fact that the sender was his confidant, who guaranteed that the letter would be delivered to Gu Siqing, he would have suspected that the letter was lost.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu finally understood a little. It turned out that the emperor's uncle was worried that his sweetheart would not want to see him if he went to Yue State.
"The emperor's uncle is so decisive in his government affairs, why does he become timid when it comes to a woman? Since you miss her so much, why should you be afraid of whether she is willing to pay attention to you?"
Bai Ziyu sighed gloomily and didn't respond.
Seeing that he was like an eggplant hit by frost, Xuanyuan Yu immediately picked up his pen and wrote him a document to pass the test.
"Uncle, I advise you not to worry too much. If you want to see her, just go and see her. Miss Gu has been looking for a suitable candidate for her husband. Aren't you afraid that she will really marry someone else?"
After saying this, Xuanyuan Yu pursed his lips. If he hadn't interfered, Gu Siqing would have married someone long ago.
"You've never liked anyone, how can you understand these things?" Bai Ziyu rolled his eyes at him. In his eyes, Xuanyuan Yu was just a little kid who had never been in love. He couldn't understand love between men and women, and the hesitation in front of his loved one.
"Nephew, I have never liked anyone, and I don't know what it feels like to like someone, but I know that if I hesitate with the person I care about, and cannot be with him/her in the future, it will be too late to regret it."
Thinking of the beautiful young lady from the prime minister's mansion, Xuanyuan Yu didn't think that his little tricks could prevent her marriage for long.
Moreover, he noticed that Gu Siqing was somewhat anxious to find a husband and was eager to get married. There must be some reason for this. Under such circumstances, it would not be possible to stop her for long.
Bai Ziyu remained silent for a long time. Xuanyuan Yu, who had nothing to do with the matter, became anxious first. Just as he was about to ask why his uncle was so slow, Bai Ziyu suddenly stood up.
His action was too sudden, and Xuanyuan Yu was frightened: "Uncle, what are you doing!"
Bai Ziyu took the customs document from him and said with a smile: "Go to Yue State, so as not to regret it later."
Bai Ziyu has almost eliminated all the treacherous ministers in the court of Qi. With Xuanyuan Yu's ability, governing Qi is not a problem for him. Under his governance, Qi will surely prosper.
Since he could let go, Bai Ziyu didn't need to guard Xuanyuan Yu like he was guarding a child. Doing so would instead affect Xuanyuan Yu's prestige in the eyes of court officials.
When Bai Ziyu returned to Qi, he took nothing with him, and when he left, he was still alone.
"Will the emperor's uncle return to Qi?" Before Bai Ziyu left, Xuanyuan Yu came to see him off in person.
Xuanyuan Yu stood under the horse and looked up at Bai Ziyu. He had a hunch that the emperor's uncle would never come back.
"You can come to Yue to see me, but I may come back to see you if I'm in a good mood. Don't think I can't do anything to you just because I'm far away in Yue. If I learn that Qi is not doing well, I will come back to settle accounts with you immediately."
Although Bai Ziyu said this, he helped Xuanyuan Yu straighten his clothes very seriously.
The burden of Qi State will fall on Xuanyuan Yu in the future. Bai Ziyu is not worried, but he feels a little distressed when he thinks about his silly nephew fighting alone in the future. However, this is the path to becoming a king.
"My nephew hopes that the emperor uncle will come back because he misses me, not to settle accounts with me. My nephew wishes the emperor brother a safe journey. If he and Miss Gu are to reconcile, please write a letter to let me know."
Xuanyuan Yu took two steps back to make it easier for Bai Ziyu to turn the horse.
"Sure! Take care!" Bai Ziyu said, whipped his horse and rode away.
After passing the pass of Qi State, Bai Ziyu rode at full speed all the way to Yue State, just to see Gu Siqing as soon as possible.
The house in the alley of the capital of Yue State was bought by him in his early years, so he still lived there after returning.
After not coming back for half a year, the house was covered with dust, but the smell of herbs was still there. When he smelled the familiar smell of herbs, Bai Ziyu's tense spirit finally relaxed. From now on, he no longer had to worry about being hunted down and no longer had to live cautiously.
Although the ambergris burned in the palace was precious, it was not as fragrant as the herbs in this room.
"Tofu for sale! Tofu for sale! Freshly ground tofu!" The hawker's voice came from the alley.
Different from the bustling atmosphere in the palace, the fragrance of tofu permeates the alley.
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the door and stopped the vendor: "I want a piece of tofu! And how much is this meat?"
After returning to the capital, Bai Ziyu settled down in his old residence, thinking of finding an opportunity to visit Gu Siqing at the Prime Minister's Residence later.
Otherwise, if he rashly went to the Prime Minister's residence like this, I'm afraid Gu Siqing wouldn't want to see him.
Bai Ziyu went to the well to fetch water and went to the kitchen to cook. When he saw her face reflected in the water, the corners of his mouth twitched: "I really should go see her after some time."
The man's face was reflected on the water. Due to days of traveling, he had not had time to trim his beard, so it looked untidy, and his hair was a little rough due to the dust. He no longer had the image of a handsome gentleman.
Bai Ziyu spent two days in his residence. On the third night, he could no longer bear it. He packed his things carefully, took out his most decent clothes, tied his hair up, and went to the wall of the prime minister's residence.
The Xiangfu is not the general's residence. Although there are patrols, the guards are not too strict. However, no one thought that someone would have the courage to climb the wall of the Xiangfu in the middle of the night. The Xiangfu has never encountered such a thing.
Bai Ziyu stood under the wall, took a deep breath, climbed up the wall with a light jump, and flipped down from the wall with light movements.
