Contract Prince

Gu Yunjing rubbed her eyebrows, her eyelashes slightly stained with moisture trembled.Of course she knew the truth of cutting the mess with a sharp knife, but when she thought of Shangguan Xiruo secretly dying, she still felt uncomfortable after all.This has nothing to do with love, it's just family affection.

Xiao Muxue helped Gu Yunjing straighten her messy temple hair, and after seeing the pain in the son-in-law's eyes, she whispered, "Yunjing..."

Gu Yunjing smiled at her and shook her head: Xueer, I'm fine, I just need time to slow down. "

According to Xiao Muxue's thinking, she hoped that Gu Yunjing could solve this matter as soon as possible.You can see the painful look of the son-in-law, and think of the relationship between the son-in-law and Shangguan Xiruo.

Xiao Muxue seemed to be touched by something in her heart, and she decided not to interfere with this matter anymore, leaving some time for the son-in-law to relax.

The atmosphere was a little sad for a while, Xiao Muxue decided to change the topic.

"Yun Jing, during the time you were unconscious, many things happened in the court."

Gu Yunjing not only cares about the love of her children, but also cares about the affairs of the court.Sure enough, she turned her attention away from her sadness and asked, "What happened in the court?"

Xiao Muxue said: "Brother An Wang expressed his willingness to inherit the throne to the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but he was strongly opposed by King Zhao and his like. This important matter will probably be delayed again and again."

"One more thing, Uncle Yi has already arrived in Wangcheng."

Gu Yunjing moved his hands away from the eyebrows, reached into the warm water, grabbed two petals and rubbed them in his palms, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Has Prince Yi always maintained a neutral attitude?"

"Yes." Xiao Muxue said, "Except for the father, he will not support anyone as the emperor. Brother An talked to him a few days ago, but to no avail. Not only that, I heard from my mother that the emperor wanted to The army of Yizhou should be stationed in the royal city, and will not withdraw until the father wakes up."

Hearing the news, Gu Yunjing didn't show any shock on her face. She smiled softly: "It seems that the prince really took great pains for His Majesty, and he didn't hesitate to send the army here. Isn't Prince Yi afraid of chaos in Yizhou?"

When Xiao Guan ascended the throne, he treated Xiao Mian extremely preferentially.Originally, he wanted to give Xiao Mian Jiangzhou, the fiefdom with the largest area and the richest economy.However, this prince is also a man of blood. He knows that the situation in Yizhou is not peaceful, it is close to the east border, bandits are rampant, and this place is the throat of the imperial court.

So he took the initiative to ask Xiao Guan for the fiefdom of Yizhou, ordered [-] soldiers from the imperial court, and led the army to station here.Xiao Mian was good at fighting and was quite talented in military affairs. A few years later, he managed the chaotic land of Yizhou into order.

Although Yizhou's politics is relatively clear and the situation is relatively stable, it is close to the east border and borders with Beiming Kingdom.Over the past few years, Xiao Guo has been concentrating its forces to fight against the people of Xiliang, and the war will inevitably consume a lot of national strength.Since Xiao Guo's imperial court has already marched westward, if the other borderlands were to start fighting again at this time, the imperial court would definitely not be able to send more troops to crusade.

It is precisely this idea that several small countries in the surrounding area have made, so in the past few years, they have been eyeing the borders of the Xiao Kingdom, especially the Beiming Kingdom.

If at this time, Xiao Mian had withdrawn the [-] elite soldiers stationed at the border and sent them to garrison the royal city, then the land of Yizhou might have fallen into the jaws of a tiger.It leads to the Central Plains, and has been blocking the Central Plains and the barbarian lands like a barrier all these years.If there is a gap in this barrier, the enemy will attack and drive straight in, reaching the royal city.

Xiao Mianming knew the importance of the land of Yizhou to the imperial court, but he dared to insist on it, Xiao Muxue really didn't know what to say about him.

The princess said: "Uncle Yi is indeed a bit ignorant this time, I will visit him again tomorrow."

Gu Yunjing raised her eyes lightly: "Prince Yi is by no means such an ignorant person. If he dared to withdraw his troops, he must have made other arrangements. I just don't know if this arrangement came up with me?"

Xiao Muxue asked: "But there is another mystery?"

"I don't know about the mystery, I'm just speculating, and I have to ask Prince Yi face-to-face for details." Gu Yunjing instructed, "I'm not in a position to show up for the time being, so I can't come to visit, let Gu Zhong invite Prince Yi over tomorrow .”

When she woke up just now, her mind was full of Xiao Muxue, and she left Gu Zhong, a loyal subordinate, aside, and only then did she think of Gu Zhong.

Gu Yunjing asked: "Xue'er, how is Gu Zhong? Was he seriously injured?"

Xiao Muxue felt a lump in her throat, and immediately didn't know how to answer, because Gu Zhong had already been killed.Those who went to Wanchun Tower, except for her, Gu Yunjing, and Lu Zhong still survived, the rest died.

Gu Yunjing noticed the princess's pale face, her eyebrows trembled, and she asked cautiously, "Xue'er, is Gu Zhong in a bad situation?"

Xiao Muxue looked very weeping, she said slowly: "Gu Zhong... Gu Zhong... is gone."

Gu Yunjing was struck by lightning immediately, his eyes were dull, his whole body was extremely dull, and he kept repeating Gu Zhong's name in his mouth.
