After being forced to marry the prince

Gu Baiji's physical fitness is excellent, he can get out of bed and move around after three to five days, and after another ten or eight days, he can already move freely.

Yuzi yelled loudly, and the emperor issued two imperial edicts to urge him to go on the road.

The first one was stopped by Chu Wu, who only said that Gu Bai was seriously injured and bedridden, unable to go to the battlefield with illness.

When the second edict came, Gu Baiji was walking in the yard, so he could only accept it.

But even so, it will take about seven or eight days for the deployment of generals, troops, food and grass to finish. By then, most of Gu Baiji's injuries will be healed.

That day when Gu Baiji came back from the barracks, he heard that Chu Wu was in the pharmacy and hurried over there.

At that time, Chu Wuzheng dumped most of the prepared medicines in the porcelain bottle on the desk into the medicine dregs processing basin, and threw some sorted medicines into the brazier.

When doing these actions, his expression was calm, even with a bit of indifference.When he saw Gu Baiji, his brows and eyes suddenly stretched, and he walked towards Gu Baiji eagerly:

"General, what's wrong with you today? Does the injury still hurt?"

Gu Baiji narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his arms contentedly to wrap his arms around Chu Wu, who was full of eyes full of himself. He always felt that if his family could treat him with such enthusiasm every day, it seemed that there would be nothing wrong with keeping this injury.

"It's okay." Gu Baiji first lowered his head to check if his shoes and socks were on properly, and then said, "Did you eat something good today?"

Chu Wu smiled and nodded, "Of course there are, but dinner will wait until you come back."

"I happen to be a little hungry, let's go eat."

"Change the medicine first."

"it is good."

The two walked into the house hand in hand. Before leaving, Gu Baiji looked back at the unburned ashes of the herbs in the brazier. He guessed what it was, but he had no intention of asking.

After all, this battle was still unsuccessful, just when Gu Baiji was leading the army to go to the battlefield, Yuzi withdrew.

As when they went to war, the retreat was silent and without warning.

"King Yuzi is dead." Gu Baiji said, "Two of the three sons were killed, and the remaining two princes are busy cleaning up the mess. They really don't have time to deal with Dazhao."

Chu Wuqi said: "Not long ago, the three kings took over the throne, so there is only one left so soon?"

Ze Anyu thought about it and said: "It should be related to Princess Jinyu. It is said that the third princess is the second prince's sister. She is quite favored by King Yuzi, and she has some means herself. She should have helped her brother a lot."

Speaking of which, An Yu noticed this because the princess's name was quite similar to the mysterious richest man in Dazhao.

Of course, it turns out that the two have nothing to do with each other.

The condition of the emperor's release of the two was that there was going to be a war, and now that the war could not be fought, just when everyone was guessing when the emperor would repent and launch an attack, the envoys of the Yuzi Kingdom sent a truce covenant.

And also full of sincerity, the agreement was sent by the princess of Yuzi Kingdom in person, the only requirement is that the princess nominates to marry the ninth prince of Dazhao, and hopes that Chu Wu can be Yuzi's son-in-law and return to Yuzi with her.

To put it simply, Yuzi wants Chu Wu to make peace.

Although this request was a bit weird, no one in the court objected. For them, it could even be regarded as a big advantage.

After all, a prince who has been deprived of his title of prince, and just released from prison, can get ten years of peace between Dazhao and Yuzi, which is really a bargain.

The only worry is that the Ninth Prince is already married, and the marriage partner is still the powerful Hussar General.

But that's okay, since the two can reconcile once, they can reconcile a second time.

When the emperor ordered Chu Wu to enter the palace, no one in the general's mansion was surprised, Gu Baiji's face was gloomy, and he wanted to follow him into the palace but was strongly rejected by the palace slave who came to deliver the order.

Taking advantage of Chu Wu's time to change clothes, Gu Baiji repeatedly urged: "Ah You, you can refuse, but don't make him angry and hurt you, if you can't do it, just agree and leave everything to me, you know?"

Chu Wu nodded. Seeing that Gu Baiji was still a little anxious, he said with relief: "General, it's okay. He is afraid of death and war. In the end, he will never want to hand over Yuzi's dilapidated body."

Gu Baiji would agree to let him enter the palace alone after guessing these things. Although he knew that this step was unavoidable, he still felt anxious. He took a step forward and hugged him in his arms, sighing:

"I really want to take you away regardless of everything."

Chu Wu smiled, and the palace slave outside the door began to urge him. Before leaving, Chu Wu turned his head and said softly: "General, compared to letting you go to the battlefield, this result is the best way for me to deal with it."

When I saw the emperor, I really meant to ask him to reconcile with Li, not to discuss it. The reason why I asked him to inform me in advance was just because I was afraid that he would not cooperate when the time came.

Chu Wu lowered his head and said slowly: "Father, you know this is impossible."

"This is an order." The emperor looked at Chu Wu, Fang Buddha saw another person through him, with disgust and coldness in his eyes, "Chu Wu, Concubine Li is still in the palace."

Chu Wu was startled, the emperor directly used Concubine Li to blackmail him.

Before he could speak, the emperor glanced at him, and said directly: "Gu Baiji has been investigating the matter of his father's death all these years."

Chu Wu's heart trembled, he had already expected what the emperor would say next, and sure enough, he heard the emperor continue, "And then, even if he finds out the so-called truth, what does he want to do? Chu Wu, who is not in love with the royal family, I can't even keep people who have resentment in their hearts."

Chu Wu suddenly understood that the emperor had been wanting to take action against Gu Baiji all these years, except for the fact that his meritorious deeds were overwhelming, his main purpose was to cut grass and roots.

"Father..." Chu Wu opened his mouth and found that his voice was very hoarse, "Father means that I just agree to get married, mother and concubine... and Gu Baiji will be safe, right?"

"Yes." The emperor said frankly, as if he had finally torn off the last layer of fig leaf, and all the masks of fatherly kindness and filial piety were stripped away, leaving only ruthless and even cruel hatred.

Facing Chu Wu didn't even need to be as scruples as Gu Baiji did. When the emperor threatened Chu Wu, he was calm and high-spirited, even with a hint of charity:

"As long as you are honest and good as Yuzi's concubine, Concubine Li will be a good concubine in this palace until she grows old, and Gu Baiji will survive."

Chu Wu silently looked at the father in front of him who couldn't wait to let him die, and wished to drain the last bit of value from him after he failed. He obeyed on the surface, but he didn't have the slightest trust in his heart.

He could tell that the emperor's body was almost exhausted, and if he really sent him away, he would only eradicate the general's mansion in the shortest possible time to pave the way for the next emperor surnamed Chu.

Seeing his silence, the emperor thought he was unwilling, and when he spoke again, his tone was so cold that it pierced his bones, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, even a corpse, I will send someone to Yuzi, but don't worry, Concubine Li will also follow you, and I am not afraid of going to war, if Yuzi wants to step into the capital, she must first crawl over Gu Baiji's corpse."

Chu Wumumu listened, smiled miserably, and bowed his head deeply:

"Don't bother father and emperor so much, my son, I am willing to go!"

On the second day after Chu Wu entered the palace, an imperial decree was sent to the general's mansion, still talking about those things about reconciliation.

No matter how Gu Baiji thought that no one would care, the palace slave put down the imperial decree and left with a cold face.

On the third day, the emperor announced in the court hall that the Ninth Prince went to Yuzi to get married. No one was surprised, and there were a few rebuttal voices occasionally, which were also drowned in the compliments of "Your Majesty Shengming".

In the evening, a palace banquet was held to grandly receive Princess Yuzi, and Chu Wu was specially seated with the princess during the banquet.

Princess Jinyu is bright and charming, with a smile and a smile, and the appearance of the nine princes. Although her expression is cold, Princess Jinyu is still enthusiastic.

The two looked like a match made in heaven, perfectly matched.

In order not to make Dazhao appear too active, the emperor specially decreed that Chu Wu and Princess Jinyu would let them spend more than a month in Dazhao before returning to Yuzi.

Princess Jinyu readily agreed after hearing the words, and didn't care what Emperor Jokhang really meant, she just said that she was very interested in the capital where the nine princes grew up, Jokhang, and planned to stay for a while.

Three days after the Heli imperial decree was issued, General Gu, who had been staying behind closed doors, entered the palace to face the saint. Dispirited, he asked to be demoted from office and voluntarily led the army to retreat to the frontier.
