He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, drank two drops of spiritual milk, and then quickly circulated his spiritual power to stabilize the surging blood in his body.
The three of them stayed with him the whole night, not daring to disturb him. It was not until dawn that Gu Lingze slowly opened his eyes.
"Feeling better?" Zhao Chengmo asked with a frown.
Gu Lingze nodded, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Gu Feirui was supposed to rush back to the capital last night, but he was worried about what happened to Gu Lingze, and he would not be able to make it to the morning court if he left now, so a few of them stayed.
"mighty--"
Shi Yuanqing went to the county court to try He Wang and Liu Fenhua.
The final result was that both men were given fifty lashes of the cane and fined two hundred taels of silver, and all the gentry who paid for the money were called to the county government to be reprimanded.
After asking He Tianshui's opinion, Gu Lingze asked the He couple to sign a divorce agreement.
At first, He Wang and Liu Fenhua were reluctant, but when Shi Yuanqing glared at them, they were frightened and quickly pressed their handprints.
County Magistrate Wang prepared a carriage, and Gu Lingze and He Tianshui sat in it together, while the other three rode horses back to the capital.
Gu Tianhua and the others didn't expect that the four of them would bring back a young man during this trip.
When Xie Qingwan asked the reason in detail, her eyes turned red after hearing it.
"Let Tianshui live at home from now on. He is a member of our general's mansion. I don't know who dares to bully him again."
Gu Feirui nodded immediately, almost agreeing with his mother's decision with both hands.
Xie Qingwan took He Tianshui's hand and said gently: "Tianshui, you will stay here from now on, are you willing?"
He Tianshui glanced at Gu Lingze timidly, and when he saw him nod with a smile, He Tianshui curled his eyes and said, "Yes."
After Gu Lingze returned to his room, he sighed as soon as he sat on the bed.
Zhao Chengmo looked at him, his eyes full of questions.
Gu Lingze looked at his handsome face and said, "What a pity, this Heavenly Master has to go into seclusion again."
Zhao Chengmo frowned and hugged him in his arms, "As long as you are safe, I can wait for you for other things."
Gu Lingze also raised his hand and hugged him, "Thank you, Chengmo."
Zhao Chengmo let out a low chuckle from his throat, "You're welcome, little husband."
For the first time, he did not refute the other party's address, and the two of them just hugged each other quietly.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Gu Lingze had been in seclusion in a secret realm to heal his injuries.
The various countries had arrived in the capital one after another ten days ago, ready to pay tribute.
This time, the attitudes of various countries were significantly different from last time and became very polite and courteous.
Especially Qianhan, Xianyu, Beixiang and Chonglan, these four countries dared not even breathe.
All countries presented valuable tributes, but the gifts from four countries were particularly generous.
Qi Yuanjing politely declined all the tributes such as beauties and young men and retreated one by one.
Today, Emperor Jing held a grand banquet to entertain the envoys and princes from various countries who came from afar, and all the civil and military officials in the court also attended.
No matter what ulterior motives each country has, at least the current situation seems harmonious.
After Qi Yuanjing, the Queen and the two princes raised the first glass of wine together, the palace banquet officially began.
The musicians and dancers of the Jiaofangsi performed their best, but because Qi Yuanjing did not indulge in pleasure on weekdays, the Jiaofangsi was almost useless.
Now that I have the opportunity, I must impress everyone.
After a few dances, the prince of Jin Yanguo stood up and walked to the center of the road.
"Your Majesty Qianyuan, I see that this song and dance is ordinary, but my Jinyang country has a special gift, and I would like to take this opportunity to present it to Your Majesty."
Qi Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then I will wait and see."
A hint of pride flashed across Helian Zhao's eyes. He raised his arms and clapped his hands vigorously twice.
The musicians of Jin Yanguo came in holding their instruments, and soon, exotic music sounded in the hall.
Several women dressed in gauze came in accompanied by the sound of tinkling bells. The leading woman was wearing a fiery red gauze, which set off her snow-white skin.
They saluted Emperor Jing in unison, their black hair cascading down to the side like a waterfall, a sight to behold.
At this time, the musician changed the tune and a burst of passionate music arose.
The woman in red raised her wrist and lowered her eyebrows, took small steps with her slender waist, and spun with her right foot as the axis, spinning faster and faster, which was simply dizzying.
Everyone in the hall seemed fascinated by her graceful dance and alluring charm.
The sound of ringing bells filled my ears, the air was filled with intoxicating floral fragrance, and the entire hall seemed like a fairyland.
After the dance, the hall was filled with voices of praise, and people looked at the woman in red as if they had seen a fairy.
The dancers and musicians all stepped back, and the woman in red stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty Qianyuan, this is my sister Helian Yue, the fifth princess of Jinyan Kingdom."
It turned out to be a princess. Everyone in the palace was amazed and shocked.
I've heard that Jin Yan has an open-minded national style, but I didn't expect the princess to dance in person. This gift is indeed very sincere.
It seemed as if this fifth princess had some special aura that made people unable to resist the desire to see her.
Qi Yuanjing and Ji Zixuan looked at each other and felt something was wrong, but they did not show it on their faces.
Ji Zixian looked at the two with a slight smile, "The Fifth Princess is beautiful and dances gracefully, she is indeed outstanding."
"Thank you for the compliment, Queen."
The two exchanged glances, and Helian Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this time, our Jinyang Kingdom offers its full sincerity, hoping to form a marriage alliance with Qianyuan. Please agree, Your Majesty."
Qi Yuanjing laughed twice, then said, "I'm afraid that will disappoint the prince and princess. My only two princes already have wives."
Helian Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yue'er doesn't ask for wealth from the royal family, she only asks for a destined person."
"Oh?" Qi Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, "Then how do we find this destined person?"
Helian Yue raised her right hand coquettishly, revealing her snow-white wrist, "May I ask which gentleman here has seen the golden bell on Yue'er's wrist?"
There was a sudden noise in the hall, and many men began to search around, even married men were not immune.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengmo stood up, twisting a bracelet between two fingers and said, "May I ask Princess, is this the thing?"
Qin Zhantian spurted out a mouthful of wine and started to cough.
Helian Yue blushed and walked over lightly, "May I ask what is the name of this destined person?"
Zhao Chengmo had no expression on his face, and his voice was as cold as ice, "I am not the one destined for the princess, please choose someone else."
A strange light flashed across Helian Yue's eyes, but her face looked as if she was about to cry.
Helian Zhao was very angry when he saw this, and said to Emperor Jing: "This is the custom of our Jinyan country. If the person who picked up the golden bell is not married yet, the two are destined to be together. I hope Your Majesty will grant them marriage."
