Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 74
As soon as he left Qixiang Hall, Jiang Libai met Jiang Ying who was sitting in a wheelchair.
“Fifth sister?”
Qiu Ju lifted up the umbrella holding the windshield, so that all the figures of the Seventh Princess fell into Jiang Ying’s eyes.
“Is this going to leave the palace?”
Jiang Libai shook her head, with unresolved sadness in her eyes: “Xiao Wu has been rescued, I have to go and inform my concubine mother quickly, so that she won’t be worried all the time.”
Jiang Wei was actually saved?
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Ying glanced at the gate of Qixiang Palace without any trace, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.
But after seeing Jiang Libai’s red eye circles and pale face, all her thoughts were forgotten.
She stretched out a hand, wanting to touch her, “Are you worried about him too?”
Jiang Libai was still thinking about what Imperial Doctor Zhao said just now, but she didn’t notice the pity deep in Jiang Ying’s eyes at the moment.
“He was still so young, and he suffered such a serious injury. In the future…” She didn’t say any more. Jiang Wei may have sequelae in the future. It is not a trivial matter, and she can’t spread it out at will.
Thinking of this, she forced a smile on her face, “I just hope that he will be safe and sound in the future, and don’t suffer from this again.”
Probably just noticed Jiang Ying’s bloodless face, Jiang Libai squatted down, gently held her hand that was still stretching forward, and said with great care: “I also hope that Fifth Sister will be safe all the time.”
Then she stood up and covered the umbrella in Qiu Ju’s hand, “So when the wind is strong, Fifth Sister should stay away from going out, so as not to catch cold and make you feel uncomfortable for a few more days.”
Jiang Ying pursed her lips and smiled slowly, even every hair tip was glowing with joy.
“okay, I get it.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Libai took Chunxi to leave, and went all the way to Changchun Palace.
The figure from the back gradually disappeared, and the surrounding cool wind blew by, shaking the emerald green branches and leaves softly, revealing a joyful meaning.
“Princess, shall we still visit the Fifth Prince?” Qiu Ju asked tentatively.
Jiang Ying looked down at the hand that Jiang Libai had just nestled in the palm, the fingertips seemed to still have the warmth she longed for, she lightly clenched her fist, bowed her head and smiled softly: “No need.”
Hearing this, Qiu Ju felt a little reconciled, “But princess, our plan is to kill…”
“Qiu Ju.” The smile on the corner of Jiang Ying’s mouth stopped, “You are overstepping the rules.”
The indifferent and warm voice sounded, Qiu Ju felt a blow to the head, and then she woke up instantly.
Without the seventh princess, how can the real fifth princess be a gentle and kind person! The decisive fifth princess is not something she can influence her thoughts.
She was the one who talked too much just now.
But she just didn’t want the fifth princess to do so much, but finally let the fifth prince go, which would disrupt many of their future plans…
But judging by the look of the fifth princess, she probably won’t do anything to the fifth prince again.
“Your maidservant made a slip of the tongue, the princess please punish me.” Qiu Ju lowered her head, not daring to talk about it anymore.
“After going back, go to the forbidden room to stay for two days.” Jiang Ying threw out such a sentence with a blank face, but Qiu Ju’s eyes tightened in an instant behind her, and one after another appeared on her forehead. cold sweat.
The forbidden room, the punishment inside is not something ordinary people can bear!
Qiu Ju, who hadn’t been tortured in the forbidden room for a long time, became more careful. She took the order, stood back in her seat, and covered the umbrella for the fifth princess respectfully.
…
After Jiang Libai told her mother and concubine the news that Xiao Wu had been rescued, she really wanted to see her father and emperor again, but in the end she thought a lot and still didn’t go to Qianming Palace.
After returning to the mansion with a heavy heart, he was almost at Youzheng.
She didn’t eat much all day today, and her stomach groaned, reminding her that it’s time to eat.
After ordering Chunxi to deliver the meals, Jiang Libai returned to the main courtyard.
Lanterns have been lit everywhere on the eaves, and the graceful candlelight shines through the pasted paper. Sitting on the railing under the eaves, Qin’er can see the Seventh Princess approaching from a distance.
“Princess.” She got up and bowed, and reported every detail of serving the son-in-law today, “…the son-in-law is still the same, most of the time he is awake, and he can’t even feed the medicine…”
After she finished speaking, she quietly raised her eyes, and saw that the corners of Princess Seven’s eyes were still moist, she hurriedly lowered her head again.
“Understood, you go down.” Jiang Libai was exhausted, and after dismissing Qin’er, she entered the room alone.
As soon as her footsteps sounded in the inner room, Gu Yun who was pretending to be dizzy on the bed heard her footsteps.
“Princess, the situation of the Fifth Prince…” She sat up on the bed, and after lifting the gauze curtain, she saw the sadness on the girl’s face.
Seeing this, she didn’t ask any more questions, got up and came to Jiang Libai’s side.
The fragrance of agarwood came to the face, and Jiang Libai’s head, which had been drowsy all day, was slightly awake.
Although the woman’s tall figure is a little thin, the comfortable embrace can still give Jiang Libai infinite warmth.
She lowered her eyebrows, slowly leaned her head on Gu Yun’s shoulder, and leaned against her body.
At this moment, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Gu Yun looked down at her hairy head, feeling the fatigue all over her body.
He stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, stroked her thin back with one hand, and gently smoothed out the hair that fell beside her ear with the other hand.
“Would you like to sleep for a while?”
The woman’s gentle and gentle voice dispelled the boredom in Jiang Libai’s heart. She buried her head deeply in her arms, shook her head, and said in a low voice: “I haven’t eaten all day, I’m a little hungry.”
As soon as the words were finished, Chunxi’s voice came from outside the door: “Princess, where do you plan to have dinner?”
Jiang Libai closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the fragrance of Gu Yun’s body, and then retreated from her embrace, and then opened her eyes to return to her previous expression.
“Go and lie down on the bed, I’ll bring you something to eat later.”
After the house was tidied up, Jiang Libai came to the main room and called Chunxi in.
As the fragrant dishes filled the round table, Jiang Libai picked up the chopsticks.
But after taking two bites, she always felt that eating was meaningless.
Glancing at the little maids waiting around, she ordered Chunxi to lead them back out.
Jiang Libai was the only one left in the room, she listened carefully to the movement outside the door, and after making sure that they were all standing far away, she also got up and walked into the inner room.
When she came to the bedside, she lifted the hazy veil, raised her eyebrows at Gu Yun who had just opened her eyes, and asked with a smile, “Come to eat with me?”
Hearing this, Gu Yun immediately lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up.
Seeing Seventh Princess Yubai’s palm stretched out towards her, she smiled lightly and put her hand on it.
While having dinner, the two whispered about what happened today.
Xu Xu’s voice was intertwined with the crisp sound of dishes colliding, and the deep warmth spread silently and wantonly.
“…So you still can’t go out during this time, I’m worried that you will be hurt like Xiao Wu… For the next few days, let’s stay in the mansion, keep a low profile, and ignore the turmoil outside…”
Ever since she saw Jiang Wei lying on the bed dying, Jiang Libai couldn’t help but think of Gu Yun’s pale face after pretending to be poisoned. She was very afraid that one day, Gu Yun would really lie lifeless in front of her. I can’t hear her calling…
“Okay.” Gu Yun put down the bowl and chopsticks, rubbed her little face, and rubbed her warm fingertips, bringing her some peace of mind, “I will always be with you.”
…
It’s just that within two days, before Gu Yun had time to celebrate Jiang Libai’s birthday, news of an urgent 800-mile rush spread from the border to the capital, disrupting everyone’s plans.
In the court hall, all civil and military officials were surprised to see the soldiers who were out of breath.
“What did you say?!” Yuhuang, who was at the head, heard what the soldiers reported, and stood up from the wide dragon chair with a bang.
The filthy soldier took a deep breath and once again
He reorganized what he was going to say, and said it very quickly in front of everyone.
“Yun Kingdom beheaded the envoy, and dispatched 200,000 troops to suppress the border. We were caught off guard. Jinzhou has already fallen, and General Song…General Song has also died…”
Before the people of Yun Kingdom set fire to the capital, for the sake of prudence, Yu Kingdom sent envoys to Yun Kingdom to discuss it.
In the end, I didn’t expect Yun Guo to be so ignorant of good and bad, he killed the envoys, and sent troops to attack the country without a name!
The hall was quiet, and everyone looked different.
Emperor Yu resisted the grief of losing his beloved general, and slowly sat back on the dragon chair, “Where is General Song’s body?”
The little soldier’s eyes were full of grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth and replied, “If you go back to the emperor, after General Song transferred the people in the city, he stayed in Jinzhou city…after the fall of Jinzhou, his body was…chopped up by the people of Yunguo.”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
Even people with no flesh and blood were blown beards and stared at the news.
With just a few words from the little soldier, he has already described how tragic General Song’s death is, and the same is true of the dignified general. The real battlefield may be even more tragic! How can this make them not hate!
Emperor Yu paused for a while, and asked more sharply about the border wars.
In this way, the news that Yun Kingdom’s 200,000 troops captured the three border cities was spread.
Just as everyone in the capital was in danger and quietly waiting for their emperor to send a general to the border to meet the enemy, another piece of even worse news reached Beijing.
“What?! The Kingdom of Jin has heard that the Kingdom of Yun has invaded the border, and it has also integrated an army of 100,000 at the border to watch?!”
When Emperor Yu heard the news, he immediately understood.
The Kingdom of Yun may have secretly colluded with the Kingdom of Jin long ago!
The two countries join forces, this is aimed at destroying their country of Yu!
Fortunately, General Zhao has been stationed at the border with Jin State for many years, and with General Zhao’s ability, he will be able to intercept Jin State at the border.
However, before Emperor Yu could rest assured of General Zhao, General Zhao’s urgent secret letter was handed over to him.
“…The state of Jin came to invade, one hundred thousand troops have already approached the city, scouts to investigate, and another hundred thousand troops are on their way…”
Emperor Yu read the secret letter at a glance, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fell heavily on the dragon chair.
Eunuch Sun hurriedly supported him, calming down for him, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
“Heaven wants to destroy my country of Yu… to destroy my country of Yu…” Emperor Yu was exhausted physically and mentally, panting heavily.
The Kingdom of Yun has an army of 200,000, and the Kingdom of Jin also has an army of 200,000…
But they only have 100,000 people stationed at the two borders of Yu Kingdom, and each of them is short of half the people…
