Chapter 612 Leaving Da Qi
Two days later, Gu Huaijin and Wei Qing received the news of the Emperor of Chu's death.
This was something that the Zhou Emperor had tried every possible means to send to them, for fear that they would sign a peace treaty that would be detrimental to the Great Zhou.
When Gu Huaijin and Wei Qing heard the news, they both broke out in cold sweats.
Fortunately, I was not fooled by the little emperor into signing the peace treaty that ceded two cities.
Otherwise, they would become sinners of the Great Zhou, and Gu Huaijin would be held accountable when he returned, not to mention his marriage to Princess Jingshu.
The young emperor also relented and stopped making things difficult for them, allowing them to return to Zhou. The matter finally came to an end.
Gu Huaijin's wounds healed a little, and Wei Qing helped him get on the carriage and set off back to Zhou.
"Brother-in-law, why is the car so slow? Ask the driver to go faster." Gu Huaijin said.
He really wanted to go back to Da Zhou in a flash and see Azhi.
"If you go any faster and your wound splits, my wife will pull my ears when we get home." Wei Qing said.
He also wants to go back quickly.
He hasn't seen his wife for a long time, and he can't hold her in his arms while sleeping. He misses her so much.
However, considering Gu Huaijin's injuries, he asked the driver to drive slower.
The carriage stopped when it reached the city gate.
Wei Qing lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and saw a familiar figure.
Princess Anyang was wearing a cloak and had her hair tied up. She looked very heroic. She stood on the steps with her hands behind her back, looking at them with a smile.
Regardless of their stance, or why Princess Anyang saved them, she did save them, twice. Wei Qing clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and he remembered Princess Anyang's kindness and would definitely repay it if he had the chance.
Wei Qing got off the carriage, and Gu Huaijin also wanted to get off, but was stopped by Princess Anyang.
"I'll just say a few words to say goodbye to you." Princess Anyang said.
She handed a brocade box to Wei Qing: "This is for you."
Wei Qing took the box and was a little surprised: "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look." Princess Anyang raised her chin.
Wei Qing opened the box and saw that it was a Pisces jade pendant.
"This jade pendant can be split into two or put back together. It's a gift for lovers. You and Gu Huaijin, one each."
"Your relationship is truly wonderful and rare. I hope you won't be bound by worldly desires and stick to your love."
"No matter what happens to you, do not lose your heart, and do not be tempted by power and status. Power and status are fleeting, only true love is hard to come by."
Wei Qing: “…”
Gu Huaijin: “…”
"Okay, you guys are off. Have a safe trip."
After Princess Anyang finished speaking, she waved goodbye to them.
The carriage set off. Wei Qing, holding the gift from Princess Anyang, looked at Gu Huaijin in surprise.
"Have we gone too far? We've deceived a pure girl?" Gu Huaijin said guiltily.
Princess Anyang looked as if she wanted them to enter the bridal chamber right away. If she found out that they were not in that kind of relationship at all, would she feel cheated?
Wei Qing also had a headache.
Princess Anyang was too serious, so serious that it made them feel guilty and ashamed.
Princess Anyang climbed up the city wall and watched the carriage go away, turning into a black dot and no longer visible.
"The princess saved the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Actually, it was because of the prime minister. He didn't want him to make a big mistake." said the guard beside Princess Anyang.
When Princess Anyang heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
Her thoughts were indeed realized.
Xie Xiu is too stubborn about recovering lost territory, so stubborn that you can't reason with him.
Princess Anyang saved Gu Huaijin and the others because she didn't want Xie Xiu to do anything to make amends.
Fortunately, she rescued them in time, otherwise Xie Xiu would have provoked a war, damaging Qi's foundation, and Xie Xiu would have gained a bad reputation and been despised by others.
"Princess, if you are so sincere, why don't you tell the Prime Minister?" the guard continued.
Princess Anyang cast a cold gaze at him. The black-clad guard was tall and slender, and if it weren't for the hideous scar on his right cheek, he would have been handsome. His face was expressionless, but when he looked at Princess Anyang, his indifferent eyes were tinged with deep affection.
Princess Anyang didn't look at him and said coldly, "Shut up."
"I just feel sorry for the princess." The guard said in a low, almost inaudible voice.
"If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have given you a second chance to say a word. If you say anything more, you don't have to stay by my side." Princess Anyang said coldly.
The black-clad guard lowered his eyes and dared not speak anymore.
…
Great Zhou, the capital.
In the room of the Marquis' Mansion.
On the couch, two little guys were lying in different postures.
Sugar Baby was lying on his back, his eyes half-closed lazily, his two little hands open, looking very domineering.
Mu Baby stuck his butt out and crawled towards Tang Baby. When he got close, Tang Baby kicked him and turned him over.
The little guy thought his sister was playing with him and started giggling.
As soon as Tangli entered the room, Tangbaobei's eyes widened, and she crawled towards Tangli and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Tangli picked up the little guy, and the little guy consciously occupied her arms, with his two little hands on Tangli's arms, very domineering.
Baby Mu could only watch helplessly. Princess Jingshu came just in time. Seeing this, she picked up Baby Mu and pinched Tang Baby's cheeks.
"You little rascal, you're bullying your brother again." Princess Jingshu said with a smile.
Tang Li looked at her face and thought it was not looking good, with dark circles under her eyes and a bit tired.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Tang Li asked.
Princess Jingshu nodded, her face wrinkled with worry. "I dreamed last night that Gu Huaijin was captured by savages."
Tangli had already heard from Princess Jingshu about the 108 possibilities of Gu Huaijin getting into trouble in her dream.
He was once again favored by the princess of Da Qi, who wanted him to stay and become her husband. Then he fell off a cliff, lost his memory, and was taken away by a tiger...
If you hear these words normally, they sound a bit funny.
But at this time, the two were separated and lived in different places. Princess Jingshu had the dream because she was too worried.
It shows how much she misses him.
The same is true for Tangli.
However, her dreams were all beautiful dreams. In her dreams, her husband was always with her. When she woke up, she felt the emptiness around her, feeling lost and reluctant to leave.
She really wanted to wake up and see her husband as soon as she opened her eyes.
When her husband left, it was still chilly in spring, but now it is warm and flowers are blooming.
I really hope they can return safely soon.
It has been so long and Tangli hasn't received a single letter, so I don't know what the situation is.
"Madam!" At this time, a servant hurried in.
"Madam, there is a letter from the master!" The servant finished speaking breathlessly, holding the letter in his hand.
The next moment, the letter was taken away from her hand.
Tang Li quickly opened the letter, glanced at the contents, a smile leaked from his eyes, and he almost jumped for joy.
Tang Li looked at Princess Jingshu and said, "Azhi, they have already entered the Great Zhou territory. They will be home in ten days at most!"
