Chapter 301 Show of Affection
Yuan Jieying came in and greeted him, choking up and saying, "The Yuan family wants to help the tyrant, right?"
Gu Huan and Zhao Luoxuan looked at each other, and Gu Huan said gently: "Power struggles are always like this, you fight and I fight. The attitude of the Yuan family does not represent yours. You are a good girl."
Yuan Jieying nodded: "Thank you, Princess, for trusting me. I came here today to say that the Yuan family is no longer my family. I am from Juzhou."
Gu Huan knew that she was worried that everyone would dislike her, so she stepped forward and took her hand: "Well, we are all from Juzhou."
Yuan Jieying was about to speak but stopped herself. Gu Huan patted her hand considerately and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. It's okay."
Yuan Jieying mustered up her courage and said, "Can I help? My fourth brother and I are from the same mother, and we have the best relationship on weekdays. My fourth brother doesn't like to get involved in court fights, and in the northern border, his elite cavalry is the most powerful."
She was afraid that Mu Junyan and Gu Huan would not believe her, so she hurriedly added: "Although I am incompetent, I can try to write a letter to Fourth Brother."
"Not yet."
Mu Junyan refused without even thinking.
Gu Huan knew that he didn't want to alert the enemy.
Moreover, Zhou Zhilan and Zhou Chunyu’s wedding was the day after tomorrow, and she didn’t want anything to ruin their marriage.
Gu Huan said softly, "Let's wait and see what happens."
Several people were deep in thought, and Chiyu suddenly said at the door: "My Lord, my two princesses, Prince Duan is here."
Zhao Luoxuan was shocked: "Why is he here? Did he bring soldiers with him?"
Akabane: "No, I only brought a few guards."
Mu Junyan: "Did he say who he wanted to see?"
"He said he wanted to meet the prince and princess, and take Princess Shuhe back with him."
Zhao Luoxuan frowned: "I agreed to stay here for two days, why did you come to pick me up today?"
Gu Huan didn't know what Duan Yu was up to, so she could only comfort Zhao Luoxuan: "Zi Yuan and I will go take a look first."
Duan Yu was puzzled when he saw the perfect match pair walking side by side.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Mu Junyan did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "I wonder if King Duan has any advice for you?"
Duan Yu smiled and said, "I came here to tell a story."
Gu Huan raised her eyebrows, not knowing what he was up to.
Duan Yu looked at Gu Huan and said, "Princess Mu, I would like to express my apology and gratitude to you."
After saying that, he actually bowed 90 degrees towards Gu Huan.
Gu Huan returned the gift politely.
"Sister Huan, do you remember that you saved a boy six years ago?"
Gu Huan thought for a moment: "Six years ago?"
Duan Yu smiled and rolled up his sleeves to reveal an arm with a scar on it.
Gu Huan suddenly opened her eyes wide, "You are..."
"Yes, I was the kid who was surrounded and beaten by a group of kids. You and my cousin saved me at that time. It was destined that we were destined to be together."
Mu Junyan stretched out his long arms and hugged Gu Huan's waist.
"So, my beloved concubine and Prince Duan are old acquaintances?"
Gu Huan: “…”
Why are you using your hands so hard?
She felt a little embarrassed and twisted her waist, but found she couldn't break free, so she had to let him do it.
Gu Huan's expression relaxed a little: "I only helped you once. Brother Ji didn't tell me where you went afterwards."
Duan Yu: "But I kept it in my heart for six years. Later, I returned to Dali and sent people to look for you and my cousin, but my cousin disappeared, and you were also missing. Later, my cousin happened to be rescued by the leader of Yifeng Hall and sent to Dali. I learned that he had met with a disaster, and your name is Gu Huan."
“What a pity…”
He glanced at Mu Junyan.
"I thought Prince Yong was dead. I wanted to take care of you for the rest of your life."
"I am not dead. I am sorry to disappoint you."
Mu Junyan smiled without showing his smile: "I wonder why Prince Duan brought up the old matter again?"
Duan Yu gazed at Gu Huan affectionately: "I just want you to be at ease. I, Duan Yu, will not be your enemy."
Gu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, her palms sweating.
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "You are not my opponent either."
Gu Huan glanced at him and smiled at Duan Yu, "Peace between the two countries is our common hope, and both sides have paid a heavy price for it. Prince Duan, you have just ascended the throne, and you also need to let the people recuperate. What you said is also what we think."
Duan Yu changed the subject: "The premise is that Zhao Luoxuan must sincerely become my princess consort and give birth to a legitimate son."
Gu Huan's smile froze.
Zhao Luoxuan, who had been standing outside the door and had not come in, was shocked both physically and mentally.
What does this mean?
Want her to give birth to a legitimate son?
Gu Huan guessed that Zhao Luoxuan and Duan Yu were just a couple in name only, but since Duan Yu came all the way to mention this, he must be serious.
But Zhao Luoxuan was not sincere.
Gu Hua's face darkened: "Lord Duan, the peace between the two countries does not need to be imposed on a woman, right?"
Duan Yu smiled, "When two countries form an alliance, there must be some sincerity. Although I don't want to be your enemy because of Sister Huan's life-saving grace, I am not the only one who has the final say in the royal court. If Princess Daliang is not your principal wife and has not given birth to a legitimate son, how can I convince the ministers to support you?"
"After all, the conditions offered by Queen Daliang are very tempting. Moreover, she can also send the princess and many beauties here."
Gu Huan was shocked.
Unexpectedly, in order to eliminate the Mu family army, the queen even ignored her own daughter.
"Of course I will go back with the king."
As Zhao Luoxuan's voice came, the door was pushed open.
Zhao Luoxuan walked up to Duan Yu and bowed, "My lord, are you here to take me back?"
Duan Yu smiled and extended his hand.
Zhao Luoxuan also gently placed her hand in his and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, are you so eager to take me back?"
Duan Yu pulled her to his side and said affectionately, "It feels like a long time since we last met."
Zhao Luoxuan tried hard to maintain a smile on her face and pretended to be shy: "Your Majesty, this is in front of Prince Mu and Madam Mu."
"They both often show their affection without paying attention to others, so why can't I do the same?"
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
Mu Junyan glanced at Gu Huan, gently shook her hand, and said to Duan Yu, "If Prince Duan really loves the princess, at least let her spend two days with her family. We will naturally send the princess back safely."
Duan Yu looked at him and said, "Then there is no need to be so troublesome. I will just accompany the princess to visit her parents."
"No need, I will go back with the king now."
Zhao Luoxuan seemed to be afraid that Duan Yu would say something else, so she bowed to Mu Junyan and Gu Huan.
"Sister Huan, I'm leaving mom and dad in your care."
Gu Huan felt a little sad and helped her up: "Don't worry. Xuanxuan, if you want to..."
Zhao Luoxuan turned around before she finished speaking and said, "My lord, are we going back overnight?"
Duan Yu looked at her slightly red eyes and held her hand: "Is it okay?"
Zhao Luoxuan's eyes were red now, but she didn't dare turn around to look at Gu Huan, for fear that she would see it.
She nodded quickly and said, "I will go back with you right now."
Gu Huan looked at their backs as they left, stunned for a moment, then suddenly stomped her feet, picked up her skirt and was about to chase after them.
Mu Junyan grabbed her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Huan looked up at him sadly: "Xuan Xuan doesn't want to."
"But she has her obligations. As the princess of Daliang, she has undertaken the mission of marrying a foreign prince, so she can't just leave whenever she wants."
"Can……"
Mu Junyan said seriously: "Princess Shuhe has grown up, she knows what she is doing."
Gu Huan couldn't help but shed tears.
Mu Junyan's heart softened, and he embraced her in his arms, gently comforting her: "Duan Yu will not treat her badly for your sake. Moreover, he also gave Princess Shuhe enough face as the principal wife. No matter what his purpose is, as the king, he personally took the princess back to the royal court. Those people should know that Princess Shuhe's position as the princess is as stable as Mount Tai."
Gu Huan knew.
But she was still sad.
