throughout
Gu Bei is dead.
This incident is like a drop of water falling into the lake, causing some ripples on the surface of the water, but it will eventually return to calm as time goes by.
However, if this were used as an opportunity, it could cause the fish in the lake to appear and stir up even greater waves.
At this time, the third prince announced loudly that he was alive and that he was not ill but was murdered, which caused an uproar in the capital.
If Emperor Dewen's biological son was still alive, then the throne of Emperor Dewen's younger brother, the former Prince An, Zhao Ruihua, would not be so legitimate.
This is the embarrassing part. Zhao Ruihua has already sat on the throne, and the third prince Zhao Zejin has just arrived late. For a while, any disturbance could become the fuse, and no one knows which one will detonate the landslide.
Some people hope to cool down the situation in the court, while others want the depressing atmosphere to become even more tense.
The people around him helped the third prince Zhao Zejin take off his black coat. He had just returned from the imperial mausoleum after paying homage.
A man approached and saluted the third prince respectfully.
"The Third Prince."
Because of his awkward identity, Zhao Zejin was called the "Third Prince" for a while, just like in the old days.
"Kapok, what's wrong?"
The person raised his head. It was Mu Man who had been following Ming Yu before. From the beginning to the end, she had been the Third Prince's person.
"Rumors have begun to spread in the south, saying that the 'evildoers plotting to murder the legitimate emperor' mentioned by 'Gubei' are related to the royal family."
Zhao Zejin has always been at ease with Yu Tongan's work.
"Remember to remind Yu Tongan to mix it up."
One refers to the Witch Hall plotting against the emperor, the second refers to the emperor plotting against Emperor Dewen, and the third is him, Zhao Zejin.
No matter how it is passed on, it is beneficial to him now that his bloodline is absolutely orthodox.
"Yes." Mu Mian paused, then spoke carefully, "Young Master Yu said he wants your help in finding the missing Mingyu."
"Approved. You send a message to General Zheng." Zhao Zejin put down the teacup and noticed Mu Mian's surprise. He looked at Mu Mian and asked, "Are you surprised?"
"No." Mumian explained, "I just didn't expect you to agree so quickly."
I was not surprised by the master's kindness, but I was surprised by the speed at which the master agreed.
"If I don't find someone, the people below will be disappointed, especially Yu Tongan. He doesn't ask for help very often."
If the emperor hadn't been keeping a close eye on the Yu family, Yu Tongan would probably have gone on his own.
"Okay, go down."
Mumian bowed and left the room.
Zhao Zejin took out the record submitted by Mingyu from his arms.
His usually serious face was expressionless at this moment, adding a bit of solemnity.
He and the prince were born of the same mother, but because the prince was charged with treason, his burial was hastily handled and he didn't even have a tombstone.
Zhao Zejin looked at the black and white paper that stated how the prince had been persecuted and framed, and spoke solemnly.
"I will avenge you, my royal brother."
He knew what Mu Mian was surprised about. Using Zheng Pinggui at will would attract the attention of Prince An. Even without Yu Tongan's request, he would send people to find Mingyu.
The records she gave him allowed him to mobilize the remaining forces of his brother that had not been eliminated, but to play a greater role.
Mingyu's superficial identity in front of the public, historian, will be the best prelude to uncovering all the fig leaves of King An.
…
“Aa ...
In the study of Yu Tongan, the eldest son of the Yu family in Huanzhou, the sound of the door turning was so harsh in the silent air.
Yu Tongan rarely rested after he came back, and at this moment he seemed unaware that Wu Pi had entered the study and stood in front of him.
"Young Master?" Wu Pi walked in and stood there for a while before he cautiously spoke up to remind him.
Yu Tongan, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head as if waking up from a dream, pressed his solar plexus, and looked at Wu Pi.
A hoarse voice sounded in the study, without the usual gentle tone.
"how?"
"I have followed your instructions and directed 'Gu Bei's' words towards the Third Prince. We should be able to hear it in the capital in two days." Wu Pi said, his eyes secretly glancing at Yu Tongan.
Yu Tongan's face was full of fatigue, and gloom surrounded him, making people doubt whether the gentle and elegant eldest son of the Yu family was the person in front of him.
"Anything else?"
"The palace has postponed Yu Tongxin's trip to the capital. The Third Prince has already written a letter to General Zheng."
Things turned out just as they expected. Once the Third Prince appeared, it became difficult for the Yu family to have any contact with the capital.
"Yeah, I understand."
Wu Pi was about to leave when he heard Yu Tongan ask.
"Is there any news about Mingyu from Wu Ren's side?"
Wu Pi felt Yu Tongan's gaze on him, but he didn't dare to look at Yu Tongan.
"No."
Wu Ren didn't find any trace of Mingyu. It seemed that the other party was swallowed up by the wilderness after being chased into the grassland.
A suffocating silence filled the room.
"...Okay, go out now. Tell me if you have any news."
"yes."
Wu Pi lowered his head and retreated to the door, and was startled by the door suddenly opening.
"elder brother!"
It’s Yu Tongxin.
"Miss, the young master is not free now."
Yu Tongxin's eyes flicked around, and she glanced sideways into the room. After making sure that her brother ignored her, she pulled Wu Pi out of the room.
Away from the study, Wu Pi bent down and asked Yu Tongxin.
"Miss, do you have anything to say? If it's important, I can tell the master."
"I want to ask my brother why the teacher hasn't come back yet. I went to the teacher's yard, but there was no one there."
Yu Tongxin didn't know that she was almost sent to the capital, nor did she know the relationship between Gu Bei and Ming Yu. She didn't even know these two names. She only knew that when she took Xiao Ya to find the teacher, there was no one in the yard.
Wu Pi turned his head and looked at the closed study, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Didn't I tell you before? The Master has other things to do. Currently..." Wu Pi paused, his voice a little low, "She can't come back yet."
"Ah~" Yu Tongxin's voice was drawn out, a little disappointed, "Then I'll go back and play with Xiaoya."
Before Wu Pi could say anything, Yu Tongxin became excited again.
"Goodbye, Brother Wu Pi."
Wu Pi only saw Yu Tongxin jumping away, turned around to look at the study, and then left in a hurry.
I don’t know if it’s because the room is too quiet or the doors and windows are too thin.
Yu Tongan found it a little funny. Yu Tongxin's loud voice could still be clearly heard through the doors and windows.
But he couldn't laugh.
The series of events that happened made Yu Tongan feel breathless, and he really wanted to stay quiet for a while.
Yu Tongan lowered his head again and found Wan Yong on the map.
Mingyu knew that Zheng Pinggui was from the Third Prince's faction, and the fact that she went all the way west also proved that she should have such an idea.
Logically, he should have fled back to Zheng Pinggui's management area.
But they could not find her, not even her horse, not even her body.
The swelling and pain in his head was so unbearable that Yu Tongan closed his eyes. The sore feeling in his eyes told him that it was not just his head that was uncomfortable.
The Yu family did not have many people in Zhao Ruihua's fiefdom, and they could only confirm that City Lord Wan Yong did not bring anyone back.
Yu Tongan really wanted to go to Wanyong to find out what was going on, but the emperor's sudden move to ask Yu Tongxin to come to the capital was so big that many people were eyeing the Yu family for a while, and they were forced to be trapped in Huanzhou and unable to move.
Yu Tongan opened his eyes and looked down at Wan Yong.
Mingyu, where are you?
Has your horoscope already predicted all this? Aren't you a true believer in God? Why then doesn't God favor you?
…
Where is the Ming fish?
Even Mingyu doesn't know.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the slightly yellowed bed curtains, and her breath was dry and cold, which was unsuitable for the season.
Was he saved? By whom?
The dryness made Mingyu's throat itchy, and he couldn't help but start coughing, which aroused the wound on his back and made him cough even more violently.
The person outside the door finally heard the noise and came in immediately.
"Hey, you're awake? Stop coughing!" The girl hurried in. She was very happy to see Mingyu wake up, but she started to panic when she saw Mingyu coughing so hard.
Is this something she can control?
In between coughs, Mingyu stubbornly uttered the words.
"water."
"Oh oh oh."
The girl then realized what she was about to do. She hurriedly fed the fish water. When she saw that the fish was feeling better, she ran out without looking back.
"?"
Leaving behind the confused Mingyu.
Mingyu's head was dizzy, but she clearly understood one thing: the person who saved her should not be Yu Tongan.
According to Yu Tongan's personality, he should be able to arrange everything for her properly.
Who is that?
The answer came soon.
The girl came back with someone following her. They were Gu Pingyuan and a middle-aged man.
Gu Pingyuan said as he walked, "Stop making such a fuss. Can you be more calm?"
"Hey, Master, I was just afraid that you would worry. When my senior brother brought my senior sister back, you were in a panic." The girl supported Gu Pingyuan, and her hands and feet were very steady.
“No way!”
Gu Pingyuan glared at the girl, and the girl shrugged indifferently.
The middle-aged man put his hand on Mingyu's hand very naturally and began to check Mingyu's physical condition.
Wait, Gu Pingyuan?
Mingyu finally reacted. Gu Pingyuan didn't come to Wanyong. Even if Gu Muxing didn't leave, how could Gu Pingyuan be here?
"Where is this?"
Gu Pingyuan turned his head and looked at her with a smile, his tone full of uncontrollable pride.
"Star Valley."
Mingyu was still confused and looked at the girl. The girl nodded affirmatively behind Gu Pingyuan.
How did she come to Galaxy Valley?
Seeing that Mingyu didn't react, the girl explained the situation considerately.
"Because of the branch point in your horoscope, Senior Sister, Master kicked Senior Brother out to find you, and then."
The girl was confused for a moment. She didn't know what was going on here, so she decided to skip it.
"Then my senior brother brought you back covered in blood. Gu Yuejing treated you, and then you woke up."
Gu Yuejing, the man the girl was talking about, withdrew his hand, ignored the girl's scattered remarks, and calmly said to Mingyu, "You're still in good health. Just continue to recuperate."
Gu Pingyuan's face also became full of kindness.
"Good boy, just stay here and cultivate yourself."
