On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Queen Dugu was having New Year's gifts prepared, as she planned to spend the New Year at the Gu family's residence in a couple of days.
Two months ago, Xinxin had an accident. Her aunt and uncle have been in a bad mood lately. Not only them, but the whole Gu family is in a gloomy atmosphere. She is thinking of going to bring the child back.
At a time like this, she still asks her aunt and uncle to take care of her child. Isn't that just causing them trouble?
Everyone went down to prepare things. Queen Dugu was also quite annoyed. How could such a cute little girl like Xinxin have gotten into trouble?
She was walking in the garden, feeling a little annoyed, when suddenly a hawk cried out in the sky. She stopped and looked up at the sky.
The eagle circled overhead for several days before swooping down.
Queen Dugu walked to a low tree in the garden and said to the eagle that had landed, "Little fellow, I thought you wouldn't come for a couple of days! You've come quite quickly this year!"
The eagle turned its head away, refusing to look at her.
Queen Dugu was used to it, and she untied the bamboo tube herself and took out the letter inside.
She looked at the letters in the two envelopes and felt something was off.
Could it be that her brother has finally come to his senses, forgotten his deceased sister-in-law and nephew, and finally found someone else?
Neither letter had a name on it. She opened the top one because it was thicker.
She froze when she looked up, then continued reading. This page was addressed to her, and she didn't read the rest.
This page was written to her by Gu Xin, asking her to deliver the letter to the Gu family.
Queen Dugu opened her twin brother's letter again, and yes, she understood.
She immediately ordered her horse to be prepared and headed towards Kuncheng.
After traveling for two days without sleep, Queen Dugu finally descended from Goddess Mountain, feeling utterly exhausted.
As she reached the riverbank, she saw Peng Silang training his troops. She waved and called out, "Peng Silang, hurry up and deliver a letter to your Uncle Gu, a letter from Xin Xin!"
Peng Silang ran to Queen Dugu's side, but before he could even ask a question, Queen Dugu slapped him: "Did you hear me? I told you to hurry up! Deliver it quickly! It's Xin Xin's letter, absolutely! I'm going to rest for a bit, I'm exhausted, riding horses for two days, my legs don't even feel like my own anymore!"
Peng Silang took the letter, not daring to ask any more questions. He boarded the small boat with the letter and quickly rowed back.
Queen Dugu was at the training ground of the water camp, leaning against a large rock, wrapped tightly in her cloak, and fell asleep.
She was really tired and didn't want to walk anymore. Anyway, Peng Silang would definitely be able to deliver the letter, so it wouldn't matter if she rested for a while.
In the Kunzhou government office, Gu Shouxin was working. The atmosphere in the office was very tense, and everyone was afraid to even breathe loudly.
Seeing Peng Silang shouting "Second Uncle, Second Uncle!", everyone mourned for him.
Gu Shouxin looked at Peng Silang, who was rushing around, and asked, "What's wrong? Has anyone found any trace of Xinxin?"
Peng Silang, panting, handed over the letter: "It's a letter from Queen Dugu. She said it was written by Xin Xin."
When Gu Shouxin heard the first sentence, he wanted to curse and say, "You're delivering the letter she gave me to me?" But when he heard the second sentence, he found the Peng family boy more agreeable than ever before!
Even the usually composed Gu Shouxin's hands were trembling slightly as he took the letter and began to read it.
He recognized the handwriting immediately; it was his youngest daughter's. He had personally taught her to write that style, so how could he not recognize it?
He read the letter silently, and it took him a while to calm down.
