Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Before he could stand up, a group of Gu family guards with great martial arts skills surrounded him.

When he was stepped on the shoulder and couldn't move, he finally reacted, his eyes full of hatred, "So this is a trap set by you."

Lu Yaoyao didn't deny it either. "You're allowed to go to great lengths to kill me, but I'm not allowed to set up a trap to lure you out? I'll never be at peace until you die."

The man roared, "I naturally fell into your hands. I have nothing to say. Kill me."

"If I were to kill you, I'd have to find another place."

"Take him away." Lu Yaoyao ordered coldly.

The man was taken away. Lu Yaoyao looked back at the compassionate Buddha statue and left.

Without the threat of Li Wan'er, Lu Yaoyao's life was so happy.

The only drawback is that the time left to successfully conquer Gu Huai is getting shorter and shorter.

Now he is back on the battlefield, what should we do?

Do I have to go to the battlefield again?

While Lu Yaoyao was thinking about it, a messenger rushed back for 800 miles to report to the emperor that Gu's father had won the battle, but Gu Huai saw through the enemy's conspiracy and was ambushed in order to save 10,000 besieged soldiers. His life or death was unknown.

When Lu Yaoyao heard the bad news, tears immediately came to her eyes.

She really didn't love Gu Huai, but Gu Huai was such a good man, a noble young man from the capital, how could anything happen to him?

She no longer had any hesitation and now only wanted to rush to the battlefield and find Gu Huai.

It's not about the mission, it's about him as a person.

"Mother, I have to go to Southern Xinjiang right now. I believe Gu Huai will be fine. He just needs someone to find him and bring him back safely."

Gu's mother came from a scholarly family and knew nothing about leading troops in battle.

At this time, she was only sad and confused.

She knew that Lu Yaoyao had been to Northern Xinjiang. She had saved her husband and son many times last time, and she came back with her husband and son.

At this moment, she also placed her hopes on her, "Okay, go ahead. I believe you will be able to find Ah Huai and bring him back safely."

"Okay, I will."

Faced with her determination, Gu's mother's eyes turned red and she hugged her.

This was the first time she accepted her as her daughter-in-law, no matter how terrible she was before she got married. But when her son's life or death was unknown, she did not choose to leave, but to go find him.

This bravery earned her recognition.

After making the decision, Lu Yaoyao quickly returned to the room and began to pack.

But when he was about to leave, another important news came from the palace, saying that the prince had returned, and the emperor summoned her and Gu's mother to enter the palace immediately.

The Emperor summoned them to the Golden Palace.

Lu Yaoyao saw Xie Qingchen standing beside her.

He looked a little darker than before he went to Dianjiang, but also leaner.

If a pair of eyes locks onto prey, it will bite it to death in one bite.

"Yaoyao, Madam Gu, do you know why I summoned you to the palace so urgently?" The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression, his eyes scanning back and forth between Lu Yaoyao and Gu's mother.

Although Lu Yaoyao was anxious, she remained calm and said, "Your Highness knows."

"Alas," the Emperor sighed softly, "although the letter says he suddenly discovered the enemy's plot and was ambushed while trying to save the soldiers who were pursuing him, and his life or death is uncertain, no matter what, as long as we don't see his body, we must believe that he is still alive."

"Don't be too sad, just relax for now. Also, I hope you won't spread this matter. After all, Gu Huai is the God of War of the Great Jin Dynasty. If this kind of news gets out, it might shake the people's hearts."

"I understand." Lu Yaoyao certainly didn't want too many people to know. If that were the case, those who disliked her and had been suppressing themselves would definitely accuse her of being unlucky.

They will take advantage of the opportunity to kick someone when they are down.

Although she was not afraid of anything, she didn't want to hear such rumors every day.

"That's good. I've already instructed them in my reply to do everything they can to find Gu Huai. I'll also send another army with provisions to reinforce them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law expressed their gratitude together.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Lu Yaoyao asked Gu's mother to go back first, saying that she had something to say to the prince.

Mother Gu is now relieved about her and does not think that she will have anything to do with the prince. She tells her to be careful with her words and not to offend the prince, and then leaves.

"Your Highness, I haven't congratulated you on your successful resolution of the Dian River flood."

Xie Qingchen nodded slightly, his eyes becoming much clearer and more natural than when he went to Dianjiang. In Diaojiang, he lived and ate with the officials and people who were managing the flood, and finally cleared the waves in his heart.

Lu Yaoyao pursed her lips again and decided to get straight to the point, "Your Highness, I want to go to Southern Xinjiang immediately to look for Gu Huai."

Xie Qingchen frowned slightly upon hearing this. "The situation in Southern Xinjiang is complicated, unlike in Northern Xinjiang. Furthermore, the Rhinoceros Tribe over there is skilled in using poison and manipulating snakes, insects, ants, and beasts. It's probably not a good idea for you to go there alone."

"I know this trip is full of dangers, but I can't just sit back and watch Gu Huai. I know he's not dead, but his current situation must be difficult." There was an unusual stubbornness in Lu Yaoyao's eyes.

Xie Qingchen was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he slowly said, "If you are determined to go, I can arrange a team of elite soldiers to escort you."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Yaoyao bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Xie Qingchen waved his hand gently, "You're welcome. I also hope to find Gu Huai as soon as possible. If we lose him, it will be a loss for the Great Jin. I should have gone there, but I just came back from Dianjiang. If I go now, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of those with ulterior motives, and they will use it to their advantage, causing trouble."

"I understand." Lu Yaoyao bowed again. As the crown prince, he couldn't do everything as he wished. What he had to consider was the stability of the entire Dajin.

Xie Qingchen felt uncomfortable hearing the word "daughter-in-law".

He casually mentioned, "I heard that on the night of your wedding, Gu Huai was urgently summoned to the palace by the Emperor, and you didn't even have time to drink the wedding wine?"

This kind of boudoir matter? Who revealed it to Xie Qingchen?

Facing this old lover, Lu Yaoyao felt extremely embarrassed to discuss this matter with him.

"Well...it did happen suddenly, but Gu Huai and I have already prayed to heaven and earth and our parents, and he has chosen my wedding veil, so we are husband and wife."

"Yeah." Xie Qingchen didn't ask any more questions, and seemed not to take it to heart.

"I'll take you back."

Lu Yaoyao nodded slightly and walked out of the palace with Xie Qingchen.

Along the way, the two were silent. The atmosphere was a little awkward, but there was also an indescribable tacit understanding between them.

After returning to the Gu Mansion, Lu Yaoyao immediately told Gu's mother that Xie Qingchen would send an army to escort her.

Mother Gu was very happy after hearing this.

This way, at least Yaoyao's safety can be guaranteed.

The second letter from the army regarding military intelligence arrived so quickly, saying that Gu Huai's body was found the day after he disappeared.
