No matter how busy the parties were that night, for example, after seeing the medicinal materials sent by Emperor Xianzong, Young Master Fenglin looked calm but was so upset that he did not sleep all night. Yu Xiaoxiao slept in the same bed with Gu Xinglang and slept until dawn.
The next morning, the rain that had fallen all night stopped, and the people in Beijing welcomed another beautiful autumn day.
Gu Xinglang got up early and asked the servant to carry him to see the old man.
The old man, like Young Master Fenglin, did not sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang hurriedly asked: "Grandfather, has something happened again?"
The old man waved his hand at Gu Xinglang. Tell this kid that your second brother and the Seventh Prince are missing? If this kid knows, then the princess will also know. What will happen? The old man said, "I drank too much yesterday. Nothing happened. Why did you come here so early in the morning?"
Gu Xinglang told the old man about his plan to go to Ruyun Mountain with Yu Xiaoxiao.
The old man just nodded and said, "Take good care of the princess and return home early."
"Yes," Gu Xinglang agreed to the old man and was carried out of the old man's study by two servants.
"Young Master," the servant walking in front walked out of the study and saw Gu Xingnuo standing in the corridor, and hurriedly called out to Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Xingnuo stood a little far away from the old man's study and waved to Gu Xinglang.
"Go to my eldest brother," Gu Xinglang ordered the two servants.
Two servants carried Gu Xinglang to Young Master Gu, then stepped outside the corridor to wait.
Gu Xingnuo sat on the railing under the corridor, looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Ruyun Mountain?"
Gu Xinglang got a headache when he heard his elder brother's question. What happened was too unbelievable, and someone had to believe what he said.
"Can't you tell big brother?" Gu Xingnuo asked.
Gu Xinglang took a deep breath and told Gu Xingnuo about how Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting at the entrance of Nanpu Street eating a pig's head, how she met the Second Master and Er Gouzi, and then gave away half of the pig's head, and how the Second Master invited her to Ruyun Mountain.
After listening to what his third brother said, Gu Xingnuo didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Xinglang said: "I know big brother doesn't believe it."
Gu Xingnuo pounded the porch pillars twice and said, "What the princess encountered was..." Young Master Gu didn't know how to describe his younger brother and sister, but normal people would never encounter such things.
Gu Xinglang said: "Brother, isn't the second brother back yet?"
Gu Xingnuo turned his head to look at the courtyard behind him. At this time, he also remembered to ask the second brother, has his conscience returned?
"Where on earth did my second brother go?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Gu Xingnuo said: "Did the princess ask the Seventh Prince?"
"Uh, no," Gu Xinglang shook his head.
"Go, come home early," Gu Xingnuo didn't want to say anything anymore and waved to Gu Xinglang. It was enough for him and the old man to take care of the family affairs.
As for Yu Xiaoxiao, Nanny Wang also decided to follow her princess to Ruoyun Mountain today. Nanny Wang made up her mind that she would follow Yu Xiaoxiao closely so that she could re-educate her princess anytime and anywhere.
Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Wei whispered, "Madam, aren't you asking for trouble? If the princess runs, we can't catch up with her, so how can she catch up?"
Xiao Wei said unhappily, "Why do you worry about this?"
"Madam, do you want to ride a horse or take a car?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Madam Wang while standing in the corridor.
Nanny Wang's mouth twitched. Is there any Nanny Gong riding a horse? "I'll take a carriage," Nanny Wang said to Yu Xiao.
"That's fine," Yu Xiaoxiao said immediately, "Mammy, come take the car with Xiao Gu and me."
Nanny Wang's mouth twitched again. She didn't mind, but she was afraid that the Prince Consort would have an opinion. "Princess," Nanny Wang said, "I can just sit in the sedan chair, or walk outside the carriage."
"Ah?" Yu Xiao: "Can walking be as fast as a horse running?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao still couldn't grasp the point, Xiao Wei could only say, "Princess, just arrange a carriage for Madam."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Wang's figure. Was she worried that Nanny Wang was too big and that three people wouldn't fit in one car? (Her Highness the Princess is always unable to grasp the key points ==)
Gu Xinglang came back from the old man's study courtyard at this time. He saw Yu Xiaoxiao and Nanny Wang standing together and talking. He looked at Nanny Wang's face and wisely did not ask what the two were talking about. Instead, he said, "Princess, are you ready? I've told grandfather that we can go out now."
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao announced loudly.
The group took the items they needed to go into the mountains. Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang took one car, Nanny Wang took another car alone, and Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, along with a group of guards, got on horses and left the Gu Mansion, heading west of the city.
Outside the West City, Gu Xinglang's brothers arrived one after another with their guards. Not only were passers-by frightened by these people, even the soldiers guarding the West City Gate did not dare to step forward to provoke the young general and his entourage who were leading dogs and eagles.
After Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao also left the west city gate and the troops from several parties gathered together, General Li shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
Yu Xiaoxiao said excitedly to Gu Xinglang in the car: "Fat rabbit, fat rabbit!"
Gu Xinglang had no choice but to hug his wife into his arms and coax her, "Yes, let's go catch rabbits."
A major general outside the car said with a smile: "Your Highness, this time we are not only going to hunt rabbits."
"Hmm?" Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "What else is there in Ruyun Mountain?"
"Just hunt rabbits," Gu Xinglang said hurriedly. He knew that there were ferocious beasts like bears and tigers in Ruyun Mountain, but he didn't want his wife to fight with bears and tigers again. No matter how skilled his wife was in martial arts, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Princess, don't worry," said another major general, "With us here, what kind of prey can't we catch?"
Nanny Wang heard it clearly in the car behind. To her, it sounded like these people were trying to get her princess to go crazy in the mountains. "Cough!" Nanny Wang coughed hard.
When several young generals heard Nanny Wang's cough, they were all stunned. Why did Gu Xiaosan bring his wife into the mountains for autumn hunting and catch those pirates in the East China Sea at the same time, and bring a woman with him?
Gu Xinglang said while sitting in the car: "The princess's foster nanny is going into the mountains with us this time."
After Gu Xinglang said this, the brothers didn't dare to speak. The royal family would take care of the royal family when they get old. Who would dare to provoke them?
When passers-by saw Gu Xinglang and his group in the caravan on the official road, they all made way to let them go first.
At this time, in front of the Gu Mansion, Zuo You heard Gu Xingnuo say that Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang had gone out of town, and his face immediately fell. He was delayed packing his luggage yesterday and could not leave that day. He thought he could say goodbye to the princess again today, but he did not expect that Yu Xiaoxiao was not at home.
Gu Xingnuo whispered to Zuo You: "After Marshal Zuo returns to Baihu, be careful about everything."
Zuo You looked up at the lintel of the Gu Mansion, which had the four-character plaque of "Zhenguo Houfu" hung on it again, and said in a low mood, "Of course, you don't have to worry about it, Master Gu."
