Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 90
When I came to the living room, Fang Zhan, who had been waiting for a long time, was sitting on the armchair next to him.
Seeing the figure at the door, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands: “Consort.”
Gu Yun didn’t have too many pleasantries with him, and asked bluntly: “What can you do with me?”
Fang Zhan saw that her expression was cold and not as gentle as before, so he smiled indifferently as if he didn’t care: “The son-in-law still has resentment towards me?”
“Resentment?” Gu Yun tapped the table with his fingertips, and asked in a nonchalant manner: “Then tell me, what kind of resentment do I have towards you?”
This was the first time Fang Zhan had seen Gu Yun’s sarcastic remarks, he suppressed the smile on his face, and silently lowered his head.
He thought that he and Gu Yun probably could no longer get along like they used to.
After closing his eyes, his throat moved up and down, and he said the purpose of his coming here: “I think the son-in-law should also be curious about why I am looking for you today.”
“Last night, a group of men in black broke into the palace at night, intending to assassinate the emperor, but were finally caught by the guards.”
“In order to find out who is behind the scenes in more detail, we need the assistance of our Wucheng Bingma Division.”
Hearing this, Gu Yun understood.
She is still the commander-in-chief of the Wucheng Bingma Division and holds the command of the Command Division.
So if you want to use the people of Wucheng Bingmasi without any excuse, you have to get her consent.
“But because Princess Jiayi ordered to protect the seventh princess’s mansion, you can’t go out, so why don’t you give me the commander’s seal, and you don’t have to worry about the commander’s affairs in the future, you can’t help…”
Judging by what you said, you are really shameless!
He obviously wanted to take the power from her, but he had to say it was to keep her from worrying.
Gu Yun stared at Fang Zhan with a gentle face for a long time, then sneered, “I don’t have the commander’s seal. As for where it is, I don’t know.”
Speaking of this, Gu Yun didn’t want to talk to Fang Zhan anymore.
She opened the skylight and said bluntly: “If you want to gain the power of the commander for the people behind you, then please go back.”
“In the past, when the commander was in my hands, I didn’t have much power, let alone now, so today you come to me for it, and I can’t give you anything.”
Looking at Gu Yun’s appearance of seeing off the guests, Fang Zhan knew that it would be useless for him to say more.
Although he couldn’t get the seal that could mobilize the subordinates of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, he didn’t want to get entangled any longer.
“My son-in-law, maybe there are some things that you can’t avoid if you want to.” Fang Zhan stood up, gave a few words of plausible advice, and then left.
The silence in the house made Gu Yun’s mind very clear.
She replayed in her mind all the scenes she experienced after meeting Fang Zhan just now.
Logically speaking, Fang Zhan came to her to ask her to hand over the power of the commander, but after hearing her refusal, Fang Zhan didn’t do anything to force him, so he just left?
It’s very strange.
…
The Seventh Princess’ mansion returned to its usual calm, and under the surveillance of many imperial guards outside, the days passed day after day.
Gu Yun calculated the time, according to the speed of one star flight, the secret letter should be delivered to General Zhao within a few days.
This is something to be thankful and happy about.
But before Jiang Libai and Gu Yun got excited, another news reached their ears, and the sky was about to collapse.
In the afternoon of this day, the three of them had lunch and digested food in the back garden.
Xing Xing, who was about to turn one year old, was very fussy right now, and he couldn’t stay in the nanny’s arms for long, so he twisted his little body and wanted to get to the ground.
Jiang Libai picked her up and gently put her on the ground, then took her little hand and slowly let her walk forward.
Xing Xing can’t walk yet, only when others lead her, can she happily walk a few steps at an unsteady pace.
At the end of spring, the weather is no longer cold.
The stars are not wrapped up like in winter, so Jiang Libai is afraid that she will fall
fall.
After all, without thick clothes, I am afraid that there will be scars.
But Xing Xing didn’t care, she walked around the stone bench in the pavilion with a smile on her face, and had to rely on Jiang Libai to hold her steadily when her feet were unstable.
After walking for a while, she was probably tired from walking, so she obediently stopped, looked at Gu Yun who was following her, stretched out her other little hand, and said vaguely with her mouth open: “Mother…Mother… hug…”
Gu Yun coughed lightly, and, like Jiang Libai, held her by the hand.
There were other little maids around, so she corrected what Xing Xing said, “Xing Xing is good, call me Daddy, your mother is there.”
Xing Xing had been able to babble some syllables before, and it was only recently that he called mother. Although he couldn’t yell clearly, he could still hear what he was yelling.
It was Gu Yun who taught her for a long time. She still doesn’t know how to call daddy, but only calls mother when she catches someone. Even Chunxi and Qin’er have been called like this by her.
“Mother…Mother…” Xing Xing turned her head in the direction Gu Yun was looking at, and saw Jiang Libai who was also squatting in front of her, and threw herself into her arms cheerfully, her small mouth was as sweet as honey. : “Mother…mother…”
Jiang Libai patted her little butt, stood up with her arms around her, “Xing Xing is good, mother hugs her.”
After kissing her chubby little face, Jiang Libai found that she had started to close her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep.
She winked at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun picked up the blanket on the chair, and slowly covered Xing Xing’s back.
“After playing for a while, she must be tired too. Let’s carry her into the house to sleep.”
…
After coaxing the child to sleep, Jiang Libai and Gu Yun also relaxed a little, planning to take a nap while the afternoon sun was still good.
When I woke up again, it was already more than an hour later.
Jiang Libai still wanted to lie on the bed for a while, hugged Gu Yun’s arm and rubbed it coquettishly.
“Knock, knock—” There was an eager knock on the door, scaring away all her drowsiness.
“Princess! Princess! It’s not good! The princess is gone!” Chun Xi shouted hoarsely while knocking on the door.
Jiang Libai and Gu Yun’s heart skipped a beat when they heard the words, they turned over and got up together.
They opened the door before they even put on their clothes.
“Where are the stars?! How could the stars disappear?!” Jiang Libai held Gu Yun’s hand tightly, and quickly ran to Xingxing’s room.
Chunxi hurriedly followed, with a mournful face: “Just now the little princess woke up and didn’t want to drink milk, so Nanny Li went to order the kitchen to cook some rice paste for the little princess.”
“When she returned to the house, the two nannies fainted on the ground, but the little Princess was missing…”
“The nanny searched around the house several times, but she couldn’t find the little princess.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Libai and Gu Yun had already opened the door of Xingxing’s room.
Sure enough, that little figure was gone.
Jiang Libai’s heart was beating extremely fast, and in a panic, she squeezed Gu Yun’s hand tightly, “The stars…how could the stars disappear…”
Gu Yun calmed down a little. She took a deep breath and asked Chunxi, “Where are the two nannies? Are you awake?”
There was a sound outside the door, and the two grandmothers who had just woken up fell to the ground with snot and tears, “Princess consort, please spare me! We didn’t mean to lose the little Princess! Miss Qin’er came into the house and took advantage of us. He accidentally knocked us out…she must be the one who took the little princess away, it must be her!”
Qiner? !
Hearing this familiar name, not only Jiang Libai and Gu Yun were surprised, but even Chun Xi subconsciously clutched his sleeves tightly.
How could it be her? !
But now Jiang Libai didn’t have time to think about it, she inquired carefully about what had happened, and quickly ordered someone to look for Qin’er, and then sent someone to search the entire princess mansion carefully.
Chunxi took the order and went outside
She looked at the sky that was about to sink, closed her eyes, and went with the person who caught Qin’er.
What surprised her was that Qin’er didn’t seem to want to escape, but just stayed there so quietly.
In her room, waiting for everyone to search.
Chunxi looked at the wide open door, clenched her sleeves into fists.
She waved the others away and walked in.
It was still dark, and the bright sunlight came in through the window, falling on the girl by the window, and the mottled light and shadow danced, as if it was about to fall into darkness.
“Where did you put the little princess?” Chunxi looked at her back and only asked this sentence.
When Qin’er heard her voice, she turned around and looked at her as before, her face was still as innocent and innocent as usual, but the words she said were no longer as cheerful as before, “I don’t know either.”
“You took the little princess away!” Chunxi wanted to go up to her and break her head to see what she was thinking right now.
“Why did you take the little princess away? Don’t you know that the princess will be very worried?!”
Qin’er lowered her head, but she didn’t say anything about it.
Up to now, Chunxi doesn’t know why she took the little princess away for no reason, and why she hid the little princess?
“Since you don’t say anything, I won’t take into account the friendship we have had over the years.” Chunxi was depressed, and after a long silence, she waved her hand and asked someone to tie up Qin’er.
Although Qin’er caught her, she never said the reason for taking Xing Xing away, which was very difficult.
The Princess Mansion was in a state of chaos, and after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find any trace of Xing Xing.
Jiang Libai was so anxious that she came to the gate with red eyes.
Since Xing Xing could not be found in the mansion, maybe Qin’er used some means to get Xing Xing out of the mansion…
She can’t wait like this anymore, if she can’t find the stars, she will go crazy!
She slammed on the door vigorously, “Open the door for Ben Gong!”
Seeing that her palms were flushed red, Gu Yun grabbed her hand distressedly, and blew on her mouth.
Then, under Jiang Libai’s tearful eyesight, he waved his hand and slapped on the door.
The door shook a few times, probably the Imperial Forest Army came to the gate when they heard Princess Jianing’s voice, and asked loudly, “I don’t know what the princess wants us to do?”
Jiang Libai said anxiously through the narrow gap between the two doors: “I want to go out! You all need to open the door!”
However, the Imperial Forest Army didn’t have the order from above, so they didn’t dare to open the gate at will, so they refused Jiang Libai, and stood further away from the gate, not listening to Princess Jianing’s clapping and shouting.
In this way, Jiang Libai lost hope, her whole body went limp, and she collapsed into Gu Yun’s arms, “Star… my star…”
Seeing that her face was ashen and her cheeks were hot, Gu Yun hurriedly picked her up.
“Princess, leave this matter to me. I will leave the mansion tonight, and I will definitely get the stars back.”
The star disappeared, and she and the seventh princess were in great pain, but the seventh princess was about to collapse, she had to cheer up, comfort the seventh princess, and then find a way to find the star…
She carried Princess Seven back to their room, put her on the bed, and held her down to prevent her from getting up, “Princess, you are very tired and need to rest.”
Jiang Libai’s mind is so full of quickly finding her star that she can’t listen to Gu Yun’s words.
Gu Yun’s throat was sore, he suppressed the pain in his heart, and hugged her into his arms, “Princess, you have to take care of yourself first.”
“Otherwise, when Xing Xing comes back, you fall ill and can’t hold her, then she will cry…”
She patted her on the back tenderly, her voice softly comforting her.
Hearing what Gu Yun said, Jiang Libai was stunned for a long time, then pushed Gu Yun away, and lay obediently on the bed.
“You are right, when Xing Xing comes back, I will hug her well and not let her cry.”
Gu Yun looked at Seventh Princess who had calmed down, and pulled the quilt for her. After turning around, she quickly went to the firewood room where Qin’er was imprisoned.
There was no light in the messy firewood room, Gu Yun kicked open the wooden door, and looked at Qin’er curled up in the corner under the faint moonlight.
Hearing the movement, Qin’er slowly turned her face to the side, opened her eyelids, and stretched out her hand to block the doorway.
The light that comes in.
“Who told you to take away the stars?” Gu Yun didn’t talk nonsense.
But Qin’er still had the stubborn and stubborn look she had during the day, and closed her eyes again.
Gu Yun took two steps forward and stared at her closely.
Then she lowered her brows and eyes, released a powerful mental force, and attacked Qin’er’s sea of consciousness.
Since Qin’er didn’t want to speak, she could only use special means to force her to speak!
Mental power poured into Qin’er’s mind, moving around, making her mind go blank, and her head hurt like hell.
After a long time, Gu Yun saw that Qin’er hadn’t lost her sanity yet, and she released a lot of mental power.
It’s a pity that Qin’er has a strong willpower, she can’t interfere with her brain waves, so she can’t make her unconscious, and she can’t ask the next questions.
Gu Yun’s face turned pale, and he stopped his mental attack.
She looked at Qin’er who was lying on the ground with her head in her hands but was silent, and she also started to panic.
This Qin’er actually has the willpower to resist her mental attack, I’m afraid… she is not an ordinary little maid!
Gu Yun locked the door and ordered Mu Zhou to check Qin’er’s details.
Maybe starting from this aspect, maybe there will be a breakthrough.
She herself quietly slipped out of the princess mansion again after comforting the seventh princess.
She searched around in the capital, and her majestic spiritual power spread out to all directions, and she could clearly see all the movements within half a mile around her.
This method consumes a lot of mental power, and if it is used excessively, there is a risk of mental disorder.
But in this urgent situation, she can only choose this method.
…
After searching for a whole night, some blood spilled from the corner of Gu Yun’s mouth.
She knew that the exhaustion of her mental power was approaching her limit.
After checking the nearest place, she hurried back to the Princess Mansion while it was still dark.
Before she had a good rest, she found that the seventh princess had a high fever, her little face was flushed red, and she was still muttering about this when she was drowsy.
As an alpha, Gu Yun has outstanding hearing ability, so he could hear what she was saying right away.
The princess is still thinking about the stars, she keeps talking about looking for the stars…
“Princess, I will try my best to find the stars.” She squatted beside the bed, looked at her frowning, and promised softly.
There is no clue at all in the search tonight. I don’t know who the star is, whether it will be bad for the star, or even…whether it will be bad for the star…
Gu Yun didn’t dare to think about it any further.
She wiped the blood stains from the corner of her mouth, trying to wake herself up, and finally walked out of the room, taking care of the next thing.
…
On the second day, Jiang Libai’s fever subsided a little, and he was not as confused as before.
As soon as she woke up, she opened her bloodshot eyes, pulled Gu Yun’s sleeve, and asked in a panic: “Have you found the star? How is she? Is she injured?”
Gu Yun stayed up for two nights without sleep, his eyes were full of bruises, “I haven’t found a star yet…”
Hearing this, Jiang Libai was dizzy and was about to fall down on the bed.
Gu Yun hurriedly supported her, and comforted her in a hoarse voice: “I will find it… I will definitely find it…”
In fact, she was also very desperate. She searched outside for two nights, but there was no result. She even wondered if the stars had been taken out of the capital…
Jiang Libai grabbed Gu Yun’s collar, buried her head in her chest, and couldn’t stop crying: “The stars are still so small, the road can’t walk… Where is she…”
She cried for a long time, but no amount of tears could release the pain in her heart.
Just when Jiang Libai almost fainted from crying, Chunxi’s anxious voice came from outside the door: “Princess! The fifth princess delivered a letter to the mansion, saying that it must be handed over to you!”
Jiang Ying?
What’s the matter with her? !
For some reason, Jiang Libai always felt that there might be news about Xingxing in Jiang Ying’s letter.
She was short of breath and hurriedly jumped off the bed,
Then with Gu Yun’s support, he came to the door.
She opened the door and took Jiang Ying’s letter.
Frantically opening the letter paper, she read it at a glance.
At the end, her eyes filled with tears again.
“The stars! The stars are with Jiang Ying!”
Gu Yun had already read the contents of the letter, and she did not expect that Xing Xing was actually in Jiang Ying’s hands.
She has already taken control of the government, and with such great power, she would actually attack a baby under one year old!
“Jiang Ying said that I will take Yuxi to her house tomorrow, and I can only go alone.” Jiang Libai squeezed the letter paper tightly, crying and laughing, “It’s a good thing that the stars are fine… It’s a good thing that they can go tomorrow.” saw her…
After two days of torment, the whereabouts of the stars were finally found. The two embraced and wept, and couldn’t help but rejoicing that they could still find the stars.
At night, the two discussed everything about going to the Five Princess Mansion tomorrow.
It seemed that Jiang Ying still didn’t give up on Yuxi, so she used Xing Xing as a threat to make Seventh Princess give Yuxi to her.
As for why Jiang Ying knew that Yuxi was in the Seventh Princess’ Mansion, Gu Yun also had no idea.
Now she just wants to get the stars back quickly, and let the seventh princess have a good rest.
So for tomorrow’s matter, even though Jiang Ying said in her letter that only Princess Seven was allowed to go alone, Gu Yun would not go as she wanted.
“Princess, I will accompany you to the fifth princess’s residence tomorrow.”
