Chapter 247: Expedition
Ye Wanhe listened to Yun Xiangye's words and smiled softly, "Gu Yan, just let Sister Yun go back with us. Mother and I will take good care of Sister Yun."
After hearing what Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe said, Gu Yan could only let Yun Xiangye go back. Besides, it would be useless even if he disagreed.
I'm afraid that as soon as he left Chang'an, Yun Xiangye also went to Yongxing City.
When Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan walking away, she knew that he had agreed. She looked up at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, you want to go back to Yongxing City. Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agree to it?"
Ye Wanhe said: "Your Highness will go back with me, my parents and I."
Yun Xiangye was still somewhat afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Your Highness is going too?"
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Well, Crown Princess Wei Zhenzhu is dead, Your Highness needs to go to Yongxing City to marry a new Crown Princess..."
Yun Xiangye understood. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just come back from the dead, and if the Crown Princess came back from the dead again, it would be a joke on the royal family. Her sister didn't want to be Wei Zhenzhu in the first place, and now she could openly become the Crown Princess as Ye Wanhe.
At dusk, when the banquet was about to begin, Yun Xiangye got off the couch and, supported by Run'er, went to the banquet hall.
Yun Xiangye, Ye Wanhe and Fu Qianran just walked into the front yard and saw Su Zhan and Xu Mengqi.
"Cousin, cousin."
Su Zhan looked directly at Ye Wanhe who was standing next to Yun Xiangye. He looked at Ye Wanhe in disbelief, "You... you're still alive?"
Xu Mengqi was the first to react and saluted Ye Wanhe.
Su Zhan also hurried forward and saluted, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
"No need to be so polite." Ye Wanhe looked at Xu Mengqi's bulging belly and smiled faintly.
In the wooden viewing pavilion on the second floor of the lotus pond, Zhao Yun stood by the railing. When he saw Su Zhan clearly below, he frowned and looked at Gu Yan behind him and said, "It seems that you still don't remember. Do you think I let you off too easily? You knew that I and Wan He were coming, so why did you invite Su Zhan to come?"
Gu Yan whispered, "Your Highness, Su Zhan is now my cousin, how can I not invite him? Besides, this time we are going to rescue Xu Pei, and Su Zhan has provided a lot of medicine and food to the army."
Zhao Yun only felt that Ye Wanhe's smile towards Su Zhan was dazzling, but when he saw that Xu Mengqi was pregnant, he gave up.
At the banquet, the atmosphere was lively with clinking of glasses.
Although today was a farewell ceremony for Gu Yan, Gu Yan did not dare to drink much today because there would be a swearing-in ceremony for the soldiers going to the battle tomorrow.
After the banquet.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan were about to go back to Qingfeng Garden.
As soon as I went out, I heard the voices of Su Zhan and Xu Mengqi coming from behind.
Xu Mengqi walked up to Gu Yan and said, "Prince Gu."
Gu Yan looked at Xu Mengqi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Mengqi said: "Please help me, Master Gu, and do your best to rescue my brother."
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I will do my best."
Su Zhan took out a half-piece of jade pendant and gave it to Gu Yan, saying, "This is a token of my Su's dental practice. I have already written to inform the brothers of the Su's dental practice along the way. If your army is short of it, just take the jade pendant and ask for it."
Gu Yan said: "Thank you, cousin."
Su Zhan said: "For the country, for the people, and for Xu Pei, this is just what I should do, and you must return safely."
Gu Yan nodded slightly.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan returned to Qingfeng Garden.
The two looked at each other in silence. They had never been apart since they got married. This time, they were reluctant to part.
Yun Xiangye threw herself into Gu Yan's arms and said, "Husband, no matter what, I just want you to come back alive."
Gu Yan said: "Well, you must take good care of yourself when you go to Yongxing City, and don't take any risks. I will definitely return safely, and I will miss you every day. You must also remember to miss me day and night."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently and nodded, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye lit the sleep-aiding incense. She just wanted Gu Yan to have a good sleep today.
The next day the weather was clear and sunny, and the army gathered outside Chang'an City.
Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see you off with all the civil and military officials.
Yun Xiangye stood with the other female relatives. After His Majesty and the Crown Prince saw them off, she stepped forward with the other generals' wives.
Gu Yan touched Yun Xiangye's face, then bent down and held Nuonuo in his arms, "Nuonuo, listen to your mother. Daddy will bring you delicious food when he comes back."
Nuonuo nodded and said, "I will listen to mother. Daddy must come back safely. Nuonuo will miss you."
Gu Yan kissed the soft little face reluctantly, and when Yun Xiangye was not paying attention, he kissed the side of her face.
Yun Xiangye's face turned red, "Gu Yan!"
Gu Yan smiled faintly and put Nuonuo down.
Gu Ling and Xie Zhixuan walked to Gu Yan's side and said goodbye to him.
Xie Zhixuan said, "Mother will not say any more nagging words. Don't worry, mother will help you take good care of Xiangye and her unborn child, but you must also remember that returning safely is the most important thing. Wei Jian is a man who doesn't get along with your father, but he still got the position of Jiedushi. He is really capable, but he is eager for success, greedy for money, power and lustful. Although you are a rookie, mother believes that good cannot prevail over evil, and you will definitely be able to defeat him."
Gu Ling patted Gu Yan's shoulder and said, "Daddy believes in you. Also, there is no eternal victory on the battlefield. Once a war breaks out, the people will suffer the most. Sometimes you don't have to be discouraged by failure. Just recuperate. There are many ports and islands in Lizhou, and there are often strong winds and waves on the sea. Don't rush for quick success. Remember that arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Dad."
Before Gu Yan got on the horse, he took a deep look at Yun Xiangye, then jumped onto the horse, looking very brave in his silver armor.
Yun Xiangye watched the army heading out of the city, holding Nuonuo's little hand tightly.
Nuonuo looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Mother, will Daddy come back tonight or tomorrow?"
Yun Xiangye smiled and shook his head, saying, "It will take at least half a year for your father to come back."
Nuonuo tilted her head and said, "After half a year, will Nuonuo grow taller and become a big kid?"
Yun Xiangye smiled softly and said, "Yeah."
After returning to Qingfeng Garden, although nothing had changed, Yun Xiangye felt as if something was missing.
Yun Xiangye's foot injury has not healed yet, so she cannot go to the embroidery workshop and can only stay in the house.
Fortunately, there were two children, Nuonuo and Jingru, playing with her. Yun Xiangye thought, fortunately Nuonuo was there, so her emotions were not overwhelmed by missing Gu Yan.
After ten days of treatment, my foot still hurts a little when I walk, but it's bearable now.
Yun Xiangye also went to the embroidery workshop. She and Run'er were going back to Yongxing City, and she had a lot of things to take care of in the embroidery workshop.
Yun Xiangye did not go out of her way to inquire about what was happening outside these days. On the way to the embroidery workshop, Yun Xiangye heard that people were talking about Zhao Jing's treason. Many people were also discussing whether His Majesty would easily forgive Wei Qian and Wei Xi. After all, the Wei family had no grandchildren yet.
If Wei Xi and Wei Qian were really sentenced to death, then the Wei family would be cut off.
Inside the carriage, Run'er said to Yun Xiangye, "Miss, will His Majesty really spare Wei Xi and Wei Qian?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but maybe they will leave a descendant for the Wei family for the sake of the Queen and His Highness."
If Yun Xiangye really wanted to say how much she hated Wei Xi, it wasn't really like that. After all, in her eyes, Wei Xi was a complete stranger. She just felt a little sad to see such a noble lady fall to such a state.
