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 her."

After hearing what Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe said, Gu Yan had no choice but to let Yun Xiangye go back. Besides, it would be useless even if he didn't agree.

I'm afraid that as soon as he left Chang'an, Yun Xiangye also went to Yongxing City.

Seeing Gu Yan walk away, Yun Xiangye knew he had agreed. She looked up at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister, you want to go back to Yongxing City. Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agree?"

Ye Wanhe said, "Your Highness will go back with me, my parents, and me."

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 to life, and if the Crown Princess came back to life again, it would be a laughing stock for the royal family. Her sister didn't want to be Wei Zhenzhu in the first place, and now she could openly make Ye Wanhe the Crown Princess.

At dusk, the banquet was about to begin, so Yun Xiangye got off the couch and let Run'er support her to go to the banquet hall with Ye Wanhe.

Yun Xiangye, Ye Wanhe and Fu Qianran just walked into the front yard and saw Su Zhan and Xu Mengqi.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law."

Su Zhan looked straight 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.

Inside the second-floor wooden viewing pavilion in the lotus pond, Zhao Yun leaned against the railing. When he caught sight of Su Zhan below, he frowned and looked at Gu Yan behind him. "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson. Do you think I let you off too easily? Why did you invite Su Zhan here?"

Gu Yan whispered, "Su Zhan is now my cousin, so how could I not invite him? Besides, we are going there 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 for Gu Yan, Gu Yan didn't dare drink much today because there would be a swearing-in ceremony in the court tomorrow to see off the soldiers who were going to the battle.

After the banquet.

Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan were about to return 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, "Prince Gu, please do your utmost 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 needs anything, 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 separated since they got married.

Yun Xiangye threw herself into Gu Yan's arms and said, "No matter what, I just want you to come back alive."

Gu Yan said, "When you go to Yongxing City, take good care of yourself and don't take any risks. I will definitely return safely and will miss you every day. You should also remember to miss me day and night."

Yun Xiangye smiled softly and nodded, "Okay."

Yun Xiangye lit the sleep-inducing incense. She just wanted Gu Yan to have a good sleep today.

The next day was sunny and clear, and the army gathered outside Chang'an City.

His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see him off with civil and military officials.

Yun Xiangye stood with the other female relatives. After His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw them off, she stepped forward with the other generals' wives.

Gu Yan touched the side of Yun Xiangye's face, then bent down and held Nuonuo in his arms, "Nuonuo, listen to your mother. Daddy will bring you something delicious when he comes back."

Nuonuo nodded and said, "I will listen to my mother. Daddy must come back safely. Nuonuo will miss you."

Gu Yan kissed Nuonuo's little face reluctantly, and when Yun Xiangye was not paying attention, he kissed the side of Yun Xiangye's 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, "I won't nag you any more. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiangye and her unborn child. But you must also remember that returning safely is the most important thing. Wei Jian, despite being at odds with your father, was still able to become a military governor. He's truly capable, but he's also greedy, power-hungry, and lustful. Even though you're a rookie, you'll definitely be able to defeat him."

Gu Ling patted Gu Yan's shoulder and said, "Daddy believes in you. Also, there's no such thing as 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 conserve your energy. Lizhou has many ports and islands, and the sea is often full of strong winds and waves. Don't rush for quick success. Remember, pride will lead to a fall."

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Dad."

Before Gu Yan got on the horse, he took a deep look at Yun Xiangye, then jumped onto the horse. He looked very heroic in his silver armor.
