Chapter 417 I Still Like Happy Endings
After some time, a letter came from the border saying that Bailixi and Jing Luoquan, escorted by Xue Chenglun, chose to pass through Dashun. As a result, they suddenly encountered bandits in Dashun. Only a few dancers survived the group. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid that Yamato would not know what happened.
From the very beginning, Dayao's attitude towards the Yamato envoys, "I can see that you have problems but I let you go", was to encourage the Yamato envoys to choose a safer and more convenient route, that is, to use the road of their allies and go through directly without taking a long detour.
As a result, he fell into Dayao's trap.
No one has ever said that there were no people from Dayao in the territory of Dayun.
From that day on, many spies were uncovered in Dizhou City and the places where the Yamato envoy had passed. The deaths of the eldest princess and the Mingyue County Lady finally had a reasonable explanation: it was because of the Yamato envoy.
Regardless of whether Yamato admits it or not, their envoy is now dead, and died in the territory of Dashun, so it cannot be a frame-up by Dayao.
After hearing this, Yamato must have felt guilty and didn't dare to come over to question him.
Moreover, their third prince and the imperial teacher all died in Dashun, so I am afraid that their alliance relationship will have to be reconsidered.
This incident undoubtedly brought subtle changes to the relationship between Dayu, Dayao and the three kingdoms of Yamato, and Dayu, who had always been very low-key, was really low-key this time.
As for Dashun, they were already exhausted by Yamato's pursuit of accountability and had no energy to plot against Dayao. They also began to re-examine their relationship with Dayao. After all, although this incident seemed to be aimed at Yamato, no one knew whether Dayao had some intention hidden behind it.
Dayao took this opportunity to further consolidate his position. He not only successfully eliminated the envoys of Yamato, but also took the opportunity to eliminate the spies lurking in Dashun's territory. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. While intimidating Yamato, he also brought trouble to Dashun, and at the same time warned Dayu, which was a multiple-purpose move.
For Yamato, this incident was undoubtedly a heavy blow. Not only was its diplomacy with Dayao unsuccessful, it also offended Dayao. As the party in the wrong, it will be in a passive position for many years to come.
The world's order was forcibly shaken up by the deaths of these bad guys.
The turmoil outside can be temporarily calmed down for a while, and the wind in Dizhou City is gradually becoming subtle.
As the Zhou family and the Ye family completely disappeared from people's sight, matters between other families continued to unfold.
However, not every person who has been let down by a family can give birth to a daughter like Gu Ruanci, and not every head of a family can receive the same retribution as Zhou Zhili and Ye Keguan.
With the support of the emperor and the empress, Gu Runci founded the Women's Medical School. As for what the women would do after they returned after learning medical skills, she naturally would not ask. However, when these people first enrolled in the school, Gu Runci would teach them one thing: if you want to save others, you must first save yourself.
As for the art of playing the zither, if those talented women came to her for help, she would be happy to teach and give them guidance.
It was the day for her to worship Ye Hesheng again. This time, all the Gu family members came with her and held a grand ceremony.
Taoist Qing Tuan had already discussed with Gu Ruanci in advance that Zixu would also participate in this ceremony.
Zhou Yuxiu, the former prince of Marquis Jing'an and now Taoist Zixu of Xuan Emperor Temple, has indeed found his own place of peace.
According to Taoist Qing Tuan, Zixu insisted on cleaning the tablets of Ye Hesheng and her mother every day during this period, and knelt in front of the tablets for half an hour every day.
As a bystander, he indeed felt this sincerity.
He also knew that his junior sister had already accepted that Zixu could get close to Ye Hesheng, otherwise she would not have tacitly agreed to let him accept Zixu into the mountain sect.
After hearing this, the Gu family members were actually a little sad.
The Zhou family’s grudges are over, and they have paid the price they deserved.
When the ceremony ended, Zixu did not go forward to argue, but left with the other Taoists.
Before Gu Ruanci and the others left, they heard someone in Xuan Di Temple say that Zhou Zhili, who had just lived in the temple, had passed away.
He has been paralyzed in bed for several months. Although Zixu is devoted to him, no one can relieve his inner torment.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Ruanci remained calm.
As early as when the Zhou family affairs ended, Zhou Zhili's life or death had nothing to do with her.
The Gu family still looked at her carefully and finally confirmed that she was indeed not distracted.
Before leaving, Gu Runci looked at the tablet of Ye Hesheng that Zixu had been cleaning all day, sighed softly, and looked into the distance, as if recalling every moment she had spent with Ye Hesheng.
There was a mixture of nostalgia and relief in her eyes.
She whispered to her family, "Death is like the extinguishing of a light, and grudges are blown away by the wind. It's time for us to go. Let the deceased rest in peace."
Upon hearing this, the Gu family nodded and the group slowly left the Xuan Emperor Temple.
At the end-of-year palace banquet, the Gu family was naturally the guest of honor. At this time, Wu Yixuan's belly was already very big, but the fetus was in good condition.
It was lively this year and everyone was together, even the Grand Tutor's family was there. Wu Yizhu, who was exiled, brought Lian Yuyan back to celebrate the New Year, and the sisters finally got together again.
Chen Suyue, who was already the prince's concubine, had a more graceful look on her face. On the contrary, Wen Haiyue, who had been to the border with the second prince for several months, had become more experienced and braver than before, and looked a lot darker.
Now that the sisters have all found their own homes, they all start to worry about Gu Ruanci when they talk about it.
"Soft words, what kind of man do you want to be worthy of you?" Lian Yuyan asked.
"I think Prince Duan is a good guy. If a man saves a woman, the woman will be willing to marry him. Why can't it work if a woman saves a man?" Chen Suyue also said.
Wen Haiyue also said: "That's right, I just don't believe that Prince Duan doesn't have you in his heart."
Wu Yixuan understood Gu Ruanci. She said, "Ruanci's mind has been elsewhere this year. Prince Duan has never wanted to delay others because of his health, so this is not a matter of urgency. Some things still require opportunity. Some people come suddenly, while others need a long-term development and will mature naturally..."
Chen Suyue joked, "It's like Sister Yixian and General Gu. Sister Yixian had him in her heart for so many years, and almost saw him snatched away by the eldest princess back then. After all the twists and turns, she finally got her wish and married him..."
The sisters' jokes and banter brought a warm feeling to Gu Ruanci's heart.
When she returned home, the Gu family surrounded her again.
"Soft words, today the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, and Princess Duan came together to help Prince Duan to act as a matchmaker. They said that Lu Enyan has been fond of you for a long time. Do you want to marry me?"
"Refuse it. Our Gu family can afford to support you."
