Planning to marry the third master

There were pregnant women in the team, so they couldn't walk fast. They had to stagger for a few days, traveling during the day and staying at the post station at night. When they arrived in the town, they were still not restricted from moving around, which made Feng Zhuohua uncomfortable.

Yang Ji knew very well that he had someone on his hands and Feng Zhuohua would not run away.

Xie Yunxiao received a message from the Bird Pavilion, which was about the political situation in Bianjing and the major events that happened. There was not much about the General's Mansion, and everything was peaceful. This was because the people in the General's Mansion and the Xie Mansion thought that the Third Madam had gone to see the Third Master, so they didn't know anything.

Xie Yunxiao and Feng Zhuohua had no habit of exchanging letters, and in his opinion, Feng Zhuohua could protect him, so he didn't worry too much. It was this trust that made him miss a good opportunity.

Gu Xingyan did not attend court until the court was on holiday, nor did he go to the Emperor's Wende Hall, and even did not visit Concubine De in the palace.

The emperor's health was visibly getting worse day by day. He asked the people around him, "Yu Huai, how long has General Qilin been out?"

Yu Huai didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this. Thinking of how Xie Yunxiao had been busy since he gave away ten banks, he counted on his fingers and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's been almost two months."

The emperor nodded and said, "Call Imperial Physician Zhen here for me." As he spoke, he covered his chest with his hands and felt a little breathless again.

Yu Huai hurried outside to ask someone to call for the imperial physician.

Today, the emperor dismissed everyone, including Yu Huai.

The emperor and the imperial physician stayed in the room for a long time. Outsiders didn't know what they were talking about. Yu Huai only saw that when Imperial Physician Zhen came out, his face was solemn.

Even someone as smart as Yu Huai felt that the situation was not good, let alone others.

There was no way that the little things in the palace could be hidden from the outside world. So the little moves started.

Gu Xingyan just gave up and didn't care about anything, and acted as if nothing had happened to him.

But Gu Xinghui was different. He knew the situation in the palace and sent a letter out.

New Year's Eve

Gu Xingyan had to show up to attend the palace family dinner, bringing Xu Xinru with him. He hadn't been around recently, so Gu Xingzhou had to ask, "I heard you were sick a few days ago, are you better?"

Gu Xingyan nodded, "Okay."

"Well, why don't you come to my house?"

Gu Xingyan has been in a bad state recently and feels lost. If it weren't for his lovely wife at home coaxing him to be happy, he would have been so bored that he would have looked for Gu Xingzhou and said, "It's inconvenient for you to take care of your wife and children, so I won't bother you. Besides, my home is not a bad place to have fun."

Gu Xingzhou understood immediately, looked at Xu Xinru, who was newlywed, and said, "Then let's get together when we have time."

Gu Xingyan nodded.

Then Gu Xinghui came. This time, she did not bring Meng Qingwan with her because Meng Qingwan was still in mourning and did not attend. Instead, she brought a concubine, who was also a beautiful lady.

When they saw him, they all greeted him politely, and Gu Xingyan called out enthusiastically, "Third Brother."

Gu Xinghui nodded.

Gu Xinghui also couldn't understand Gu Xingyan. He was not very interested in the affairs of the court recently, and was not as enthusiastic about the government as before. Prince Hui was a little confused. He asked, "Fifth brother, are you well?"

Gu Xingyan nodded and said, "Just a short while ago."

"What's wrong with you? You need to rest for more than ten days?"

Gu Xingyan whispered, "Third brother, don't let father know. I'm just being lazy and don't want to be pushed by father to do things."

Hearing this, Gu Xinghui looked at Gu Xingyan. This was really like his personality. Could it be that his father had been keeping a close watch on him before? He said, "Don't be lazy next year."

"Let's talk about it later. With my third brother here, the court won't need me. I hope to be an idle person like Ah Zhou in the future."

Gu Xinghui said: "You are the son of the emperor, and many things are beyond your control."

Gu Xingyan said dejectedly: "Let's take it one step at a time."

He made his thoughts and intentions clear, hoping that his life would be easier in the future. However, the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and he did not have an easy time either.

When the emperor and the concubines arrived, they all took their positions.

Feng Zhuohua had only completed half of the journey and could only spend the year at the post station.

Yang Ji took the lead and drank and ate meat with his subordinates, which was considered a good New Year.

Feng Zhuohua and Qingyue sat in a corner. It was naturally not as good as being at home when they were out, but there was nothing they could do.

At this time, Qingyue grumbled softly: "Why hasn't the Third Master come yet!"

Feng Zhuohua knew Xie Yunxiao. If she knew, she would definitely come immediately. If she didn't make any noise, no one would know where she was. She said, "It's better if you don't come."

Qingyue said: "The best solution is to kill this man before he reaches Beirong. If we miss him and reach his base, even ten Third Masters won't be able to help him."

It seems to be true now that you put it that way.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy, and no one knows where he is at the moment.

However, Xie Yunxiao received a message from Yuge that the emperor was seriously ill and Prince Yan had no intention of attending court.

These messages are undoubtedly conveying a signal that the overall situation will be determined.

Xie Yunxiao discussed the matter with Hu Cong overnight.

Hu Cong saw the message and thought for a moment, "Why did Prince Yan suddenly act like this? What big thing happened in Bianjing?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "There hasn't been any major events recently. The only thing is that three officials followed Yang Ji to Longxi, and the other thing is that Lord Meng passed away."

Hu Cong was puzzled and said, "If everything is stable, it would be disappointing for Prince Yan to suddenly behave like this."

"What do you think? Is he suitable to be an emperor?"

Hu Cong said: "Don't ask me what I think, I have to ask you."

"Ask me? Can I change the dynasty?"

Hu Cong said nothing.

The secret cannot be revealed.

Xie Yunxiao thought for a long time and said, "I have to go to Beijing secretly."

Hu Cong nodded and said, "Yes."

"The child is left to you."

"can."

The dinner was over and Feng Zhuohua was about to return to her room. At this time, a carrier pigeon was delivered to Yang Ji.

Yang Ji took a small roll of paper from the carrier pigeon and opened it.

It was this action that made Feng Zhuohua curious about who was delivering the message, and thought it was none of her business. However, she was wrong. This matter had nothing to do with her, but she was the most important person.

Yang Ji stood up and saw Feng Zhuohua was about to leave, so he said, "Thank you, Madam San, let's talk."

Feng Zhuohua couldn't help but wonder if Xie Yunxiao knew that she was missing and something had happened. She nodded, wanting to hear what this man would say.

Qingyue followed immediately.

Entering the private room upstairs, with the door open, and not avoiding Qingyue, Yang Ji said, "Sit down."

Feng Zhuohua smoothed her skirt and sat down.

Yang Ji got straight to the point and said, "I have a problem that I would like you to help me solve."

Feng Zhuohua asked: "Is it about the Third Master?"

Yang Ji said: "Talking to smart people is worry-free."

"General Yang, please tell us what you have to say."

"Tell me, what method can be used to make Xie San willing to work for Prince Hui instead of threatening him?"

Feng Zhuohua curved her lips and asked, "Why, General Yang, what are you afraid of?"

"This is for your own good."

Feng Zhuohua thought about it and said seriously: "Send me back, then apologize sincerely, and then treat him with care."

Yang Ji smiled, thinking Feng Zhuohua was joking. He asked, "Should I apologize or should Prince Hui apologize?"

"I think both."

"Mrs. Xie San is really good at joking." Then she stopped laughing and said, "Write a letter to Xie San and tell him that you and your brother have both recognized this general as your godfather and that you are both living well."

Feng Zhuohua's face turned cold, he stood up and said, "I don't want to."

Yang Ji curved his lips and said lightly: "Then don't blame this general. It is very easy to make a person get injured without anyone noticing. As for the extent of the injury, this general has no idea."

Yang Ji finished speaking lightly and began to pour tea. Feng Zhuohua turned around and looked at Yang Ji clenching his fists. It was really uncomfortable to be controlled by others. He said, "Get some paper and pen."

Yang Ji nodded, stood up, and prepared paper and pen himself.

A small piece of thin paper was used to send a message by pigeon. Feng Zhuohua thought for a moment and wrote two lines of small characters with great righteousness: Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy after the world is happy! Don't make a mistake at any step!

She knew she couldn't send it away, but she just wanted to piss off the old man.

Sure enough, Yang Ji looked at the paper, narrowed his eyes, crumpled it into a ball, and said, "So, you don't want to cooperate."

Feng Zhuohua said: "You only asked me to follow him, but didn't ask me to give him orders."

Yang Ji thought of something and curved his lips, saying, "If you don't cooperate today, we will reach the Miao border in two days. Do you believe that this general has plenty of ways to make you obedient?"

Hearing this, Qing Yue frowned. She was considered a well-informed person. There were many secret techniques in Miaojiang, and she intuitively felt that these people could do anything.

Feng Zhuohua looked like he would rather die than surrender, so Yang Ji didn't waste his time thinking about it. He said, "If you don't want to write it, then forget it. Let's go."

Feng Zhuohua left angrily.

Yang Ji opened the note again and read it. Indeed, if he had the same standpoint, he would admire such a woman. Everyone should have a patriotic heart. However, in the court, there are only winners and losers.

After returning to the room, Qing Yue said, "I think we should run away secretly. There are many secret techniques in Miaojiang. I don't think what Yang Ji said just now was a joke."

"What secret technique?" Feng Zhuohua had never heard of it before.

Qingyue said: "I don't know, I haven't encountered it either, but there are a lot of bugs, it's disgusting."

Feng Zhuohua said: "I can't run away, my brother is in his hands."

Qingyue was frustrated and stamped her feet, saying, "Why hasn't the Third Master come yet?"
