Chapter 253 Mid-Autumn Festival



By August, the weather is gradually getting cooler.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to marry the Crown Princess. Such a grand event has not happened in the entire Yongxing City for hundreds of years.

A princess consort appeared in the city, and the people in the entire city seemed to be proud of her.

However, the business of the Yun family's dyeing workshop plummeted. Many relatives, friends and neighbors laughed at the Yun family for bullying the two orphans. Now the Ye family has a crown princess. Even if the Ye family did not have a crown princess, Yun Xiangye was the prince's consort of Prince Ning.

Everyone in the Yun family was really embarrassed by what they said, and there were constant quarrels at home all day long.

Yun Xiangye heard Chen Qinglai talking to her about the Yun family in the palace. She just smiled and said, "They deserve it."

Chen Qing smiled faintly and said, "They bullied you so much back then, and now it is indeed their evil deeds that have paid off."

While the two were talking, Xiao Nuonuo caught a pigeon and brought it in.

Yun Xiangye saw Xiao Nuonuo carrying a pigeon inside and chuckled, "How did Nuonuo catch a pigeon? It looks like it's a carrier pigeon, and there's a letter underneath it."

Nuonuo said, "Daddy's pigeon."

When Yun Xiangye heard Nuonuo say this, she took out a bamboo tube from the small bamboo tube underneath and saw the letter paper inside.

Yun Xiangye smiled faintly. Now that they had arrived in Lizhou City, it was indeed inconvenient to ask someone to deliver the letter, so they used pigeons instead. However, the pigeons needed to fly back to see if they could recognize the way.

So it was delayed for a few more days.

Yun Xiangye wrote a letter back to Gu Yan, asking him to take care of himself.

It is Mid-Autumn Festival again. This year, Yun Xiangye and Yun Shuangbai both went to the Ye family to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tomorrow is Ye Wanhe's wedding day. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon is full, so the Ye family is particularly lively.

Nuonuo really loves mooncakes, but Yun Xiangye doesn't dare to let her eat too much. She looks at the full moon, wondering whether Gu Yan, who is thousands of miles away, has celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I don’t know if he looked up at the bright moon.

The waves were surging and the wind was howling. In a valley in Lizhou, the army set up camp.

When the hurricane came, the army and Wei Jianzhi's rebels had to cease fighting. After all, a hurricane at the seaside could blow away houses.

Gu Yan deliberately found a valley to set up camp in order to withstand the fierce storm behind.

Gu Yan looked up at the full moon. The dense layers of clouds appeared white even in the dark night. The strong wind blew the clouds, and the full moon was looming among the clouds.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Yun Xiangye doesn't know where she will celebrate it, but she thinks she will be at Ye's house with Ye Wanhe to celebrate the first Mid-Autumn Festival after more than ten years of separation, or perhaps the last one.

After all, as the Crown Princess, Ye Wanhe will no longer be able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future.

"General, we found a group of thieves in the city distributing sesame cakes to the people. Those sesame cakes seem to be rations for Wei Jian's army camp! They are being pursued by Wei Jian's army. Can we go and rescue them?"

Gu Yan listened to his subordinates report: "Help!"

Lizhou City is close to the sea, and the food supply is actually not abundant. The people here don’t have many grain fields. When Wei Jian attempted to rebel, he plundered the people in the city.

When the weather was calm, even if there was a war in the city, they could still go out to sea to fish to fill their stomachs regardless of the danger. But now a storm was about to hit, and it was not convenient for them to go out to sea to fish.

The people in the city will soon have nothing to eat, and Gu Yan's own military rations are only enough for the army to eat for half a month, and they still need to wait for supplies from the back. He can only use one day's military rations to provide emergency relief to the people in the city, but it is far from enough.

Now someone has stolen food from Wei Jian's military camp and can distribute it to the people in the city, so naturally they have to rescue him.

The next morning, Gu Yancai saw his subordinates bringing in a few "little thieves" who had stolen Wei Jian's military rations.

Gu Yan saw the young man leading the group, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Qin Hong."

Gu Yan looked at the young man in front of him and found his words very strange, so he asked, "How did you steal the military rations from Wei Jian's camp?"

Qin Hong asked, "Are you the Prince Gu Yan?"

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I am."

"Can I speak to you alone?"

Gu Yan signaled the other generals around him to retreat.

After Qin Hong saw everyone leave, he said, "Sir, I was originally a secret guard beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Yan frowned and looked at Qin Hong and said, "You are the secret guard beside His Highness, why are you in Lizhou?"

Qin Hong said, "Because Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess looks very much like my elder sister. After I learned that she had given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a drug to fake his death, I just wanted to help her."

Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I just wondered how the Crown Princess could have orchestrated the Crown Prince's fake death without anyone noticing. Turns out she even had the help of a traitor like you."

Qin Hong said, "I have wronged Your Highness, but I had to help my sister at that time. If I hadn't helped my sister, she would have died. Later, my sister didn't want to implicate me and let me escape from the palace. I... I... I love..."

Seeing Qin Hong stuttering, Gu Yan frowned and said, "Speak!"

Qin Hong said, "I was attracted to Princess Jingyu, so I went to see her. I wanted to say goodbye to her properly, but that day I learned that she was also attracted to me."

Gu Yan angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Jingyu be in love with you? Jingyu would never..."

Before Gu Yan could finish his words, Qin Hong took out a jade pendant from his neck.

Gu Yan's pupils dilated slightly. He naturally knew about this jade pendant. It was asked by Jingyu's parents to protect her safety when she was a child. Jingyu never took off this jade Buddha.

Qin Hong said, "Prince, can you believe it now?"

Gu Yan frowned and looked at Qin Hong.
