Traveling through time and space

"Secret," Gu Yuanyuan replied with a smile.

"Yuanyuan." The emperor called out to Gu Yuanyuan, who nodded. "Lord Lu, Lord Qin, Lord Mao, you will personally take your men to the Yuqu River to verify. Two hours from now, at 3:30 pm, we will start promptly," the emperor instructed carefully.

"Your Majesty, we can go and see it too." A foreign envoy stepped forward and saluted.

"Of course," the emperor looked at Gu Yuanyuan, who nodded. "Let you see this, it is this princess's true purpose that will make you feel afraid." The emperor whispered a few words to Eunuch Shen behind him, "Come here, go and evacuate everyone in this direction of the palace, two kilometers away, three kilometers away, and let everyone see Princess Anle's new gadget later." All events were proceeding in an orderly manner, but most of the people had dispersed. Gu Yuanyuan looked at the crowd watching, and the second brother and the others were guarding, not letting anyone get close. Gu Yuanyuan was thinking about who to let as her assistant later.

"Father, I'm in my fiefdom now. I don't have anyone around to do my work. Yuanyuan has recruited a few assistants and wants to..."

"Uncle, we brothers are also willing to work for the princess." The two brothers of the Wei family who had been silent stepped forward and saluted.

"No, second brother, my second sister-in-law is pregnant. You don't have to go far. If you go to Tainan Mountain, the mountain is high and the road is long. It is not very convenient to go back and forth. Besides, if you two follow Yuanyuan, what will happen to mother? No." Gu Yuanyuan responded decisively.

"This man looks somewhat familiar." The emperor looked at Brother Cai hesitantly.

"Uncle, this is the second son of the Cai family, Cai Shaocun, the new runner-up,"

"How can this be possible? It's a waste of talent."

"Father, the court doesn't lack an elder, but Yuanyuan is short of people around him. These people are all old acquaintances of Yuanyuan, and they run several shops together. They know each other well. With their help in the future, Yuanyuan will feel more relaxed and can do his job better."

"Okay, you will feel more relaxed if you have some people you are familiar with to help you. Yuanyuan is our Qingyang's legitimate princess. You must always remember your status and work well for the princess." The emperor's words were very serious. They knelt down to listen to the lecture. The emperor sighed deeply again, "Do you two really want to follow the princess to work?" The emperor asked the two brothers of the Wei family.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mother is willing, and so are we."

The emperor looked at Yuanyuan and said, "Father, Yuanyuan has an idea. After Yuanyuan goes there, she will always be traveling back and forth with the capital. Can you ask my second brother to be in charge?" Gu Yuanyuan nodded to the emperor. The emperor also understood that it would be unsafe to let the servants be responsible for the things and letters sent by Gu Yuanyuan.

"Good. This way, Yu Han won't be there every day, and she can still take care of the Princess's residence." The emperor nodded. "From now on, the four of you will obey the princess and do your best to serve her. If you harbor any disloyalty, you will be beheaded." The emperor spoke seriously, and everyone saluted and stood up. The people who had gone to clear the area also returned. The emperor looked at Gu Yuanyuan and nodded, indicating that they could begin. Gu Yuanyuan stood up.

Gu Yuanyuan walked over to the small cannon, calming herself first. She operated it carefully, not allowing for the slightest negligence. She only let Xiao Maozi and Liang Shang come in, keeping it steady. She pulled out a small bomb from another box, determined the angle, aimed, double-checked, pressed the button, made a few minor adjustments, and fired three bombs. Of course, they were all within range. Gu Yuanyuan stood up, only to find that, aside from the sound of the explosion, the entire arena was utterly silent. Everyone's mouths were open, stunned, their mouths wide open. "Father, it's over," Gu Yuanyuan said, reaching her father's side. Soon everyone came to their senses.

"It looks really impressive."

"Yes, yes, it's the first time I've heard such a loud noise. It's really scary."

"Yes, but it will hurt."

"You are such an idiot. This is for attacking the enemy, not your own people."

"Yes, Qingyang will never be underestimated again."

"Report," someone ran over quickly. "Report, Your Majesty, we're all within the cleared area, hitting the target with every strike, not a single deviation." The person was excited and reported loudly. Instantly, the emperor beamed, and everyone was excited. Of course, it was Qingyang's people who had done the operation successfully. Gu Yuanyuan also sat down in a chair, exhausted.

A hand with an oil-paper bag on it was stretched out in front of her. Inside the oil-paper bag were six pieces of exquisite osmanthus and red date cakes, which were quite tempting. Looking up, it was Second Brother Cai. Gu Yuanyuan reached out and pinched a piece and put it in her mouth. It smelled so good. When she looked up again, she found that Xiaomaozi and Dongmei were blocking her way tightly, not letting others see her eating. Gu Yuanyuan smiled. She was really hungry. She reached out and took two more pieces. As someone was blocking her, she finished her meal slowly and stood up. The two people in front of her naturally dispersed. "Princess, the emperor asked if you are tired. If you are tired, you can go to Yuanfu Palace to rest for a while." Eunuch Shen came over and asked.

"Okay, just rest for half an hour." Gu Yuanyuan stood up. She was really tired. She didn't sleep all night last night. "Eunuch Shen, please tell my father that the woman died last night. Those letters were found in her room. Yuanyuan has sent someone to take her away."

"The Emperor found out and wanted to save her, but it was too late."

"Who killed her?"

"It was Feng Yan's people. They wanted her to harm you, but she refused," Eunuch Shen replied calmly, his expression unmistakable. Gu Yuanyuan nodded, feeling somewhat comforted. She still had her own feelings, and the resentment she had felt for over a decade had finally been somewhat resolved, making her feel better. Gu Yuanyuan returned to Yuanfu Palace, leaving Dongmei to guard the door while she went to her inner space for a good night's sleep. Gu Yuanyuan knew she couldn't afford to neglect the afternoon's events, so she didn't sleep for long. She quickly took a spiritual bath, feeling restored to her best condition. She opened the door to the inner chamber at about the right time, "Princess, Eunuch Shen just brought some food, saying you'll be waking up soon."

Not bad, not bad, they are all what I like, but the quantity is a bit too much. Gu Yuanyuan asked Dongmei and the others to sit down and have a meal together, and she chose some light dishes. They were almost finished eating and were ready to go to the martial arts field. When they arrived, they saw so many people. Could it be that everyone in the entire palace had come? Seeing Gu Yuanyuan come in, everyone stood up to greet her. Soon the emperor arrived, and everyone returned to their seats. It was exactly the time, and Gu Yuanyuan did not disappoint everyone's expectations, but was more excited than in the morning. Gu Yuanyuan could see that her father was sincerely happy, and Gu Yuanyuan was relieved. "Father, Yuanyuan would like to take his leave first." Gu Yuanyuan still wanted to see her and bury her by the way.

"Okay, you're tired today, go back and spend time with the children." The emperor nodded to Gu Yuanyuan. "If you hadn't fought Feng Yan, would you still go to the fiefdom?"

"Yes, I heard that the disaster there is serious, and Yuanyuan also wants to go and see it." Gu Yuanyuan answered without thinking.

"You are a good child," the emperor sighed deeply. There were many people at the scene, so Gu Yuanyuan didn't say anything more.

When she was about to leave, she remembered that there was another row of people who were considered her own, so she stopped and said, "Everyone, I will host a banquet for you all tomorrow night. Let's gather at Yuezhong Tower. Second brother, please follow me out." Everyone bowed to Gu Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, I want to go see the children." Gu Yuanyuan had taken a few steps when she heard a voice from behind. It was the silent Crown Princess.

"Sister," Gu Yuanyuan stopped, "I have something to do today. Would you like to come to the princess's house tomorrow?" Gu Yuanyuan wanted to deal with her affairs.

"Okay, then let's visit the princess's mansion tomorrow." After bowing and saying goodbye, Gu Yuanyuan went straight out of the palace. "Second brother, let's get in the car and talk." Gu Yuanyuan got into his car. "Have you finished what happened yesterday?" Gu Yuanyuan asked what he wanted to ask.

"Don't worry, Princess. I personally collected her body yesterday. I just want to discuss with you how to deal with it."

"Yes, she is the one who gave birth to Yuanyuan after all." Gu Yuanyuan sighed. It was really difficult. "It would be great if she could be buried next to grandma. Grandma is the one who cares about her the most."

"Princess, someone is following us, and not just one way." Zhou Chun reminded.

"Don't worry about it. It's not the first time. It's just that it's hard to get away in broad daylight," Gu Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that the fake Cai Mengyun was buried next to her grandmother.

"Princess, you are now the target of public criticism."

"Yes, second brother, we should change it. If we give it to Grandma with a fake one, she will definitely be unhappy. But how can we change it?"

"Remember this matter, Princess, you can't show up. After you go back, the Cai Mansion will spread the word, and the Cai Mansion's aunt will come to you in a dream or something. You can take the opportunity to change it."

"Okay, let's do it this way, second brother. I want to go see her in the next two days, so that she can celebrate the birth of Yuanyuan."

"No, if someone knows about this, it will be bad for the princess."

"It's okay. Yuanyuan will be careful, and you should be careful too, including those families." At an intersection, the second brother got off the car, got on his own car, and went straight back to the princess's mansion. Thinking that he hadn't spent enough time with the children for many days, he had to ask someone to send the children to his yard. The carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion. Seeing Mrs. Dong coming to greet them, Gu Yuanyuan reminded them again that no gifts from anyone should be accepted. As usual, he washed and changed his clothes, and asked Nanny Shang to pick up the children. Dongmei said Chunmei was here.

"Princess, four people entered Nanny Shang's room today."

"Which four?" Gu Yuanyuan was very curious. "Are they doing it openly or secretly?" Gu Yuanyuan asked curiously as she sat down.

"There were only three people. Two of them were probably new, and there was also Nanny Wu." Gu Yuanyuan was very curious when Nanny Wu was mentioned. "She came twice. The first time, she just looked at the door. I saw someone asking her, and she said she came to chat with Nanny Hao. The second time, an hour later, she carried a small bundle and went straight into Nanny Hao's room. When she came out, I didn't see her carrying the bundle." Gu Yuanyuan nodded. "There was also a palace maid and a servant. I don't know who they are, and it's not easy to ask, but I followed them back to their room."

"Okay, Dongmei, from now on, have the palace soldiers guard all the doors of the two courtyards. No one is allowed to enter or leave, and let everyone wait in their own rooms. Chunmei, go call housekeeper Chen, and search these three people's rooms thoroughly. Don't miss any details, and invite all three to Chun'an Hall." Nanny Wu popped up. This was something Gu Yuanyuan had not expected. After playing with the children for a while, Dongmei came in and said that everyone had been arrested. Gu Yuanyuan remembered something and called Aluan, asking her to pay attention to the matter of the crown prince. She went to Chun'an Hall herself. When they saw Gu Yuanyuan come in, everyone in the room squatted down to greet her.

"My servant Bai Ying."

"Your servant Jiangxiang greets the princess."

Gu Yuanyuan sat down, looking at them, looking at Nanny Wu, and chatting. Gu Yuanyuan did not go straight to the point, but asked some random questions. Seeing that they all looked quite relaxed, Gu Yuanyuan knew that if there really was such a person, he must be a playboy. "Tell me, why did you go to Nanny Hao's room today?" he asked unexpectedly.

"I went to ask Madam Hao about something." Bai Ying answered first. Gu Yuanyuan gestured for her to continue, "I have white scars on my body. I just arrived at the princess's mansion and have spoken to Madam Hao a few times. I thought she was older and knew more, so I wanted to ask her."

"Madam Shang, ask the court physician to come and see her," the court physician of the princess's mansion was Liu Ling'er.

"What about you?" Gu Yuanyuan asked the servant in front of her.
