Traveling through time and space

"Imperial Physician, is his life in danger?" Li Bei stepped forward and asked anxiously.

Doctor Song looked at Gu Yuanyuan, who nodded. "If this child is out of danger within three days, I will say his life is safe."

Unexpectedly, Li Bei kicked Zhao Yiheng twice. "You beast, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are killing your own child."

"Teacher, calm down. Doctor Song, please go and write a prescription. Miss Li, please take the others to get the medicine. You go down and take care of the children first."

The Zhao family's stepmother stepped forward and said, "You vicious woman, stay away from my children."

Watching the mother and son walk away, "Third brother, Uncle An, what do you think we should do?" Gu Yuanyuan looked at the An family.

"No, no, Princess. My child is very strong and will be fine after taking some medicine."

"You beast." Li Bei was very angry.

"Princess, the An family is willing to pay for the treatment of the second young man from the Zhao family."

"Master An, isn't this natural?" Gu Yuanyuan asked. "When something happens, there has to be a solution."

"What does the princess want to do?"

"Uncle An, the fact that Second Young Master An was able to do what he did today proves that Zhao Yiheng is in cahoots with you. That makes things easy. This princess's first condition is that they divorce."

"Princess, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I will not divorce you," Zhao Yiheng knelt and crawled in front of Li Bei. "Father-in-law, I know I was wrong. I don't want a divorce."

"Uncle An, why is Zhao Yiheng so noisy? Zhao Yiheng, do you want to die or get a divorce? You dare to deceive this princess. You really think your life is too long. You can bully others by taking advantage of your power, and now this princess will bully others by taking advantage of her power too. If you don't write this divorce letter, this princess will let you die now. You can get death for your crime." Gu Yuanyuan ignored him and looked at the father and son of the An family.

"Princess, please state your second condition."

"Uncle An is a straightforward man. I believe your son knew that your An family is not short of money, so he did such a treasonous thing and beat this little child like this. My second condition is to compensate for the child's medical expenses. Ten thousand taels of silver per child."

"That's as it should be. It was my son who made the mistake first."

"Uncle An, this princess has a third condition. I have heard that the An family is kind and generous. In order to offset this matter, the An family must pay one hundred thousand taels of silver and send it to the Leshan Hall. And the most important thing is that this guy should never appear in front of this princess again." Gu Yuanyuan pointed at An Weiyu who had just been beaten.

"Princess, don't worry. You will never see him again. What happened today was the An family's fault. We are willing to offer you two hundred thousand taels of silver to calm your nerves. We also owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, we will do our utmost to help you."

"Uncle An, for the sake of my third brother, let's just let this matter go. This princess doesn't want to upset my father, and I won't do anything that would make him unhappy. So the matter between this princess and the An family is over. Have you written your divorce papers?" Gu Yuanyuan looked over there.

"Princess, I want to take all the children away, but..."

"No, this child is a descendant of our Zhao family. How can he go home with a divorced woman like you?"

"Mrs. Zhao, right? Then let's handle all official matters impartially. Miss Li, you don't mind losing your husband, right? It's not bad to lose your husband. The Zhao family's property will be left to you and your son. Come on, send this audacious Zhao Yiheng to the yamen," Gu Yuanyuan said very straightforwardly, "all the property will be confiscated. If anyone maliciously obstructs, he will be exiled directly. The crime will be intimidation, extortion, and kidnapping of the legitimate princess." "No, no, give it, give it, we will give it all." The mother and son said in unison, what a coward.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Let's go, little Maozi. It's almost dawn. You stay and help Miss Li move all the dowry back. Teacher, this princess will take you back." Gu Yuanyuan stood up.

"I thank the princess and would like to return home with my daughter and children."

"Okay, teacher, I'm going home now. Xiao Xiangzi, thank you for making this trip so late at night."

"Princess, you are too kind. The emperor has a headache and hasn't had much rest." Xiao Xiangzi said.

"Father is ill, has he seen the imperial physician?"

"The Emperor said there was nothing wrong and refused to see the imperial physician."

"You go back. When it's daybreak, I will go to the palace to see my father."

"Royal sister, would you mind if Third Brother takes you back to the palace?"

"No need, Third Brother, you should think carefully about how to explain this matter to the Emperor. This princess believes that this matter has nothing to do with Third Brother, but the Emperor will definitely not believe it. You have almost used up all your favors with Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan will not help you anymore." Gu Yuanyuan said this in a very low voice. After returning home, Gu Yuanyuan did not know how she climbed into the bed. She only knew that she was woken up by Dongmei's shaking. "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out."

"Princess, today is the funeral of the late queen. Princess, are you going to attend?" Dongmei said this, and Gu Yuanyuan finally remembered that she had to attend. She quickly got up, dressed, and went out for the occasion. After getting in the car, Gu Yuanyuan was lost in thought. Yesterday's incident really had nothing to do with her third brother, but who else could it be related to? She should find someone to investigate the three An family members and the man surnamed Zhao. Whoever they have been close to these days will be a suspect. It may be confirmed that there is someone behind the An family. After entering the palace, Gu Yuanyuan pretended to go to the mourning hall to pay her last respects and went to see her father. Judging from her father's appearance, it was clear that he was not in good condition.

"Father, what happened?" Gu Yuanyuan waved her hand and asked Eunuch Shen to go out and wait.

The emperor threw out a letter and said, "This was delivered by the Imperial Guards an hour ago."

"Father, how can you read such a secret letter?" Gu Yuanyuan joked and took out a big grape from the space and placed it in front of his father.

"Father wants to eat durian." Gu Yuanyuan took out two and placed them in front of him. She folded the letter and read it herself. After reading two lines, she couldn't help but curse.

"Father, what should Yuanyuan say? If he weren't your son, Yuanyuan would really want to beat him to death."

"Has he ever had any grudge against you?" The emperor asked leisurely while eating.

"No, I've only met him a few times, never in private." Gu Yuanyuan recalled carefully, trying to recall whether she had any interaction with this royal brother.

"Do you want your father to help you vent your anger?"

"What happened last night? Yuanyuan didn't care. Father should know the real purpose of Ninth Brother's doing this, right?"

"Of course, the Ninth Prince's biological mother, Qin Yinyin, is a distant cousin of the An family. So, let the An family be related to the Princess's Mansion. The An family has two princes before them. No matter which one you favor, the An family will benefit."

"Don't worry, father. Yuanyuan won't get too close to these royal brothers." Gu Yuanyuan also ate grapes leisurely.

"Well, you're smart. Don't get involved in this mess."

"Father, Yuanyuan is busy. She needs to earn more money to support the children. The more the better. She just needs to let the children achieve something in the future. As a mother, Yuanyuan only needs to make money and enjoy life happily."

"You," the emperor looked angry at him for not fighting back.

Gu Yuanyuan has always adhered to this principle: be cool and carefree for once. Since you have put on this, you should be cool and carefree. Otherwise, you will lose out. The key is to enjoy life. When the people over there come and say that the late queen's funeral has been handled, the gentlemen want to come and pay their respects to the emperor. Is the emperor available?" Eunuch Shen reported in detail.

"Father, please meet him. Yuanyuan wants to see the ninth prince." Gu Yuanyuan put away all the unusual fruits and placed some commonly used ones on the table. Everyone entered the room, bowed, and sat down.

"Father, the An family was wrong about what happened yesterday. My uncle has already sent my second cousin and his family back home. My uncle said that this time it was because the An family didn't educate their children well enough that Yuanyuan suffered. The An family..."

"Third brother, this matter has been resolved. Besides, the An family has also dealt with An Weiyu, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Li family. However, this Zhao Yiheng is really a piece of shit. I hope that third brother will tell you that if the Zhao family goes to cause trouble for Li Bojun, I will settle all the old and new scores with him. Father, this man does not recognize his biological mother because she is a concubine. He only recognizes his stepmother and left his biological mother in the countryside. He doesn't care about her life or death. Such a person is an ungrateful person."

"To think there's such a son? Although I'll spare his life, the court cannot employ officials like him any more. Orders are passed: this man cannot be retained and must be expelled from the capital." The emperor glanced at the people across from him. "Ruolin, I remember you didn't have much to do. So, you should take over Zhao Yiheng's position as the Guanglu Temple official," the emperor said calmly.

"Father, this Guanglu Temple official is just a small sixth-rank official." Gu Yuanyuan stood up and stepped forward to take a look.

"It's okay. Just stay in that position and do your job well. Even though it's a sixth-rank position, it's still an important one."

"Yes, Ninth Brother, since it exists, it must be important, Father," Gu Yuanyuan stood up and saluted. "Father, if there is nothing else, Yuanyuan will take her leave first."

"I also want to tell you about going to Chenji to attend the coronation of the Chenji Crown Princess. One of you must go."

"Your Majesty, I am the eldest brother, so I will go." The third prince volunteered first.

"But I want you, Yuanyuan, to go." Gu Yuanyuan looked at her father doubtfully. "First, you are the legitimate princess." It goes without saying that her body is slightly taller than the other princes. "Your going shows our Qingyang's intentions. We, Qingyang, are willing to be on good terms with Chen Ji and live in peace."

"Okay, once we agree on a departure time, Yuanyuan will come with us. We just need to send a group of people to Anru and Linzhou first."

"Well, Du Heng, Su Yuhuan and the others should have arrived."

"Yuanyuan wants Zhuangzi to send a group of people, some experienced farmers, to see what crops are suitable for the mountains over there, so as not to miss the time."

"Okay, just look at the arrangements."

"Your Majesty, great joy." Eunuch Shen walked in with a smile on his face. "Noble Lady Yue of Yingyue Pavilion just had a daughter." Everyone stood up and saluted, congratulating their father.

"Father, congratulations on having a daughter. Yuanyuan has a jade coral here. Let's give it to this little sister. May she grow up healthy and happy." Gu Yuanyuan took off the jade coral on her head and put it in the hands of Eunuch Shen.

"Okay, Eunuch Shen, you go to Yingyue Pavilion in person. The legitimate princess will be named Gu Yushan," the emperor said, looking very happy. "There hasn't been a child born in the palace for a long time. Although it's a girl, it's very good. Tell Concubine Yue that I will go to see the mother and daughter during the third day of the baby's birth." The emperor gestured for everyone to sit down. Before anyone could say anything, Eunuch Zhang came in and said that Prince Lin and his two sons wanted to see him. The emperor nodded. Many people came in and greeted each other. "Prince Lin, please take a seat."

"Your Majesty, I came here today..." Lin Ming hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you want to say," the father looked at his sons around him.

"Your Majesty, I have come here specifically to ask the princess to find a new job for Hongsheng and Hongzhang." Lin Ming said with some embarrassment.

"What happened?" Gu Yuanyuan was curious when she heard it was about her. "You two can talk." Gu Yuanyuan pointed at the two young men.

"We brothers are a little overwhelmed by what the princess asked us to do. We want to stay with the princess. Father said that we can learn more by following the princess."

Gu Yuanyuan couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, "This princess asked you to work and study on the farm. Do you think it's hard?"

"Princess, we brothers don't like doing these kinds of work. Dealing with the land all day is very tiring. We can follow you." Lin Hongzhang said this with some shamelessness.

"Father," Gu Yuanyuan stood up and saluted, "Yuanyuan is not familiar with them, how dare I keep them by my side? If I'm attacked from all sides, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Yuanyuan doesn't keep idle people around. Since the two young masters Lin are feeling tired, Yuanyuan doesn't dare to force them to stay. I also ask the emperor to revoke his order and make other arrangements for the two young masters Lin. "Gu Yuanyuan bowed deeply and remained standing.

"Princess, we are all family. Just let your two cousins ​​work with you, and you can teach them your skills. It won't be long before they can stand on their own, and then you can be more relaxed. If they don't understand something, just teach them..." She said a lot of things, but it all sounded like preaching.

Gu Yuanyuan doesn't care about these things. "Prince Lin," Gu Yuanyuan wanted to say that she would not accept these playboys around her. "Prince Lin, there is nothing suitable for the two young masters to do here at Yuanyuan. Please find another place." Gu Yuanyuan said it very bluntly. She just wouldn't accept them.

"Princess, we are a family. Is it that difficult for you to take your two brothers with you? Besides, they will help you in the future."

"Prince Lin, the tasks I've assigned to them are all urgent, but these two are both tired. I'm really powerless to help them."

"Royal sister, Prince Lin is right, we are all family."

"Third brother, what Yuanyuan is going to do is not a joke. Besides, they can't stand the hardship. Yuanyuan really can't do anything."

"Imperial sister, you have so many things to do. It would be nice to let them help you." Gu Yuanyuan looked at the person who was speaking, not knowing which brother it was.

"Working for me? What can you two do? Can you write? Are you good at martial arts? Can you run errands? Can you give me advice? What can they do for me? I don't keep idle people."

"Don't worry, Princess. They all know how to keep accounts and can help you deal with these messy matters." Lin Ming said with certainty.

"Father, Yuanyuan was too bold today. If you want to blame her, then blame her, Prince Lin.

"I've already made arrangements for them, but they keep complaining about this and that. My temple is too small to accommodate these big Buddhas. Besides, I'm not familiar with you, so how could I possibly let them stay by my side and work? In other words, I don't trust them, so how could I let them manage my accounts?" By this time, Gu Yuanyuan's attitude was no longer as good as it used to be. This Lin family was really annoying.

"Yuanyuan, you are right. From now on, the emperor will no longer interfere with your personnel matters. You can decide for yourself who to employ and who not to employ. However, you must also be cautious."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Yuanyuan understands." Gu Yuanyuan bowed again, "Your Majesty, Yuanyuan has something else to do and needs to go ahead."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. After you've decided on the personnel, show them to me." Gu Yuanyuan responded, bowed and took her leave. She also bowed to her brothers and sisters. She really didn't like facing these people. Gu Yuanyuan took her leave, and then several people also stood up and bowed and took their leave. Gu Yuanyuan couldn't jog, after all, she was not feeling well these days.
