Ji Yibai did not leave the capital for the next few days. He had two bouts of poisoning, and both times Gu Yunyue saved him.
He also took Gu Yunyue to visit all the shops and restaurants of all sizes in the capital.
The green plants in the palace are growing well.
Gu Yunyue used oilcloth to grow a batch of broccoli. She had broccoli and strawberry seeds in her backpack, and the broccoli had already been served on the table at the Li Wang Mansion.
The strawberries are also starting to bear fruit.
Thanks to Gu Yunyue's communication, Li Wangfu no longer relied on the emperor's gift of hot spring farmhouse dishes during the winter. He even managed to send chicken feather vegetables to the emperor several times.
The Emperor and Empress of Chu seemed intent on bringing Gu Yunyue and the Crown Prince together. They had a brilliant idea: to make Gu Yunyue a concubine. That way, even if her status and family background were truly inferior, it wouldn't matter.
Anyway, the Crown Princess has a good family background.
Seeing this, Ji Yibai had no choice but to tell Gu Yunyue in person that he and Gu Yunyue had secretly decided to spend their lives together.
The Emperor of Chu naturally didn't believe it.
The Queen also extended an olive branch, believing that Gu Yunyue would definitely choose to be the Crown Prince's concubine.
"Your Majesty. My parents have long said that I will not be picky about family background when it comes to marrying. But he can only marry me and is not allowed to take concubines or mistresses." Gu Yunyue glanced coldly at the prince, her lustful eyes like a mouse looking for food.
"Nonsense, men have had three wives and four concubines since ancient times."
"My grandparents, my parents were all together for their entire lives. Naturally, I also want to be together for my entire life." While speaking, Gu Yunyue couldn't help but glance at Ji Yibai with the corner of her eyes.
Seeing Ji Yibai nodded in appreciation, she smiled sweetly in her heart.
The emperor looked at Ji Yibai.
Ji Yibai said a little embarrassedly: "Father, I still don't have a daughter." After saying that, his face flushed.
The emperor looked at Ji Yibai thoughtfully, his expression not looking good. He raised his eyes and glanced at his other sons, especially the ones he liked the most.
He seemed to be calculating something in his mind.
Yuebao had a bad premonition. Could it be that the emperor dared to use force?
She and Ji Yibai left the palace, "Yibai, I want to leave the capital."
"I'll go with you." Ji Yibai also had a bad feeling.
The two returned to the palace, packed their clothes, and quietly left the palace. Ji Yibai knew someone was watching them.
Arrived at the city gate.
He was stopped by someone who said that the emperor had ordered him not to leave the capital.
Yue Bao couldn't help but roll her eyes, mumbling, "Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people."
This made Ji Yibai laugh and cry. "You despise the Chu royal family so much?"
"Aren't you the emperor's biological child? Why does he despise you so much?"
Ji Yibai laughed out loud, his eyes filled with loneliness.
"Gu Yunyue, don't worry. I will protect you at the risk of my life. It's because of me that you came to my house to work as a doctor."
"I believe you." Gu Yunyue looked at the loneliness in his eyes and her heart ached involuntarily.
She remembered what Su Qi said, when you feel sorry for a man, it means you are in love with him.
"Ji Yibai. Do you believe in a lifelong relationship?"
"Like your parents and grandparents?"
Gu Yunyue nodded.
"I believe it."
"Come here." Gu Yunyue took Ji Yibai's hand and returned to the mansion.
"Let's get married."
Ji Yibai turned cold and looked at Gu Yunyue seriously. "You don't believe I will protect you?"
"I believe it. I want to marry you, and you will come with me to live in Daqin. How about I become a female doctor and you open a martial arts school?"
Ji Yibai thought about it and it seemed like a good idea.
"OK."
Ji Yibai really asked the housekeeper to decorate the house, and he and Gu Yunyue got married.
Seeing this, Frost sneaked out.
After a while.
The imperial decree granting marriage has arrived.
Ji Yibai was granted marriage, but when the imperial decree arrived, no one accepted it.
The guards at the palace said that the master was in the bridal chamber and no one dared to disturb her.
The eunuch who issued the imperial edict was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Eunuch Wang, I'm afraid you have to ask for the imperial edict again. Our palace already has a princess, and the emperor can only grant marriage to a concubine." The palace steward said happily.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had no choice but to leave with it.
Five days before the Spring Festival.
A secret letter came from the palace.
It is said that Prince Xuan of the Great Qin represented the Emperor of the Great Qin on a diplomatic mission to the State of Chu.
Two luxurious merchant ships were docked at the seaside five hundred miles away from the capital of Chu.
Dozens of carriages were rushing to the capital of Chu State. They had already arrived at the post station where the envoys stayed.
Ji Yibai received the secret letter and thought of Gu Yunyue. He thought, would Yunyue be happy to see the prince of her hometown?
I just heard that the capital city is separated from her hometown Jinyang Prefecture by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Yunyue. You have to accompany me to the palace on New Year's Eve."
"Why?"
"Prince Xuan of the Great Qin has come to the State of Chu. It seems that the merchant ships of the Great Qin should not be underestimated. Our merchant ships of the State of Chu cannot cross the ice sea in winter." Ji Yibai was still thinking about finding an opportunity to see the merchant ships of the Great Qin.
"Yibai. Are you willing to give up your status as a prince and follow me to Daqin?"
Ji Yibai hesitated for just a moment.
He held Gu Yunyue in his arms and said seriously, "I promised you, I will definitely do it. Just give me two months, okay?"
Looking at Gu Yunyue's hesitant eyes, Ji Yibai spoke his true feelings.
He had to detoxify his mother first. Now his mother was in the cold palace and could not use the Tianshan Snow Lotus to detoxify her.
"You went to Tianshan to pick snow lotus for your mother?"
"Yes. I'll go to the cold palace to visit my mother and help her get rid of the poison before I go with you to Daqin."
Gu Yunyue hugged Ji Yibai with her backhand and said word by word:
"We can live well if we stay in Chu."
"But when you agreed to marry me, didn't you say you would go to your hometown, Jinyang Prefecture?"
"Now I have changed my mind. Take me to see Prince Qin Xuan."
"good."
Ji Yibai didn't think much about it. He just thought that Gu Yunyue wanted to see the Prince of Qin using his identity.
The two of them took a carriage to the post station and happened to meet the Crown Prince of Chu there.
The prince glanced at Ji Yibai coldly.
Long Haoxuan came down from upstairs and just as he was saluting the prince and the other two, he saw Yue Bao and Ji Yibai holding hands.
His face suddenly turned dark.
He quickly snatched the sword from the guard's hand with his left hand and swung it at Ji Yibai. "How dare you, you scoundrel, bully my Yuebao!"
Ji Yibai didn't have time to speak and hurriedly dodged away.
The two men fought each other.
Zeng Wuming, Zhi Yi and others ran out. "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Everyone knelt and saluted Yue Bao.
The Crown Prince of Chu's heart sank. He had known he would strike first. The Queen had suggested that he drug Gu Yunyue, but he disagreed, believing that she was already a fallen woman.
"Second brother, if you don't stop I will tell eldest brother." Gu Yunyue's words made Erbao stop.
But he still punched Ji Yibai hard in the face.
Ji Yibai could have dodged, but he didn't and was hit by a punch. He looked at Gu Yunyue, and the question she had asked him before leaving the house rang in his ears. "What if I lied to you about something? Would you be angry?"
"Will you leave me?"
"Won't."
Ji Yibai answered seriously at the time: "I won't be angry. But I hope you tell me."
"I'll tell you tonight."
Ji Yibai understood why Gu Yunyue lied to him.
Before Yuebao could even reach Ji Yibai, Erbao hugged her. "Yuebao, you scared me to death. I almost blew up Tianshan Mountain."
"Later, I met some people from the Chu State. They said you might have been stranded in the Chu State."
Long Haoxuan and his friends finally found the underground river along the place where Yue Bao and his friends fell, and then came to the ice sea along the underground river.
Ji Yibai stood there pitifully, covering his face.
Yue Bao felt distressed and wanted to walk over, but Long Haoxuan grabbed her. "You solved the most important matter in your life without making a sound. Be careful that Father and Grandfather find out and come kill you."
Yuebao had no choice but to coax Erbao and told them to live in Liwang Mansion.
Erbao brought a lot of things with him, and now I started to feel that I didn’t bring enough things.
