After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again
Chapter 9 Would rather die than surrender
The night was as dark as ink. Gu Yanan walked in the dark with an exceptionally cold gaze.
The subtle movements behind him were particularly clear to his ears, and he could not help but quicken his pace, with each step being light and steady.
The front-line battlefields were mostly grass and bushes, or tall trees and rocky ground.
In just a few breaths, Gu Yanan avoided stepping on the gravel on the ground and made noise, and cleverly used the terrain to conceal his figure.
After half an incense stick of time, he successfully avoided the pursuit of the people in the Marquis' Mansion.
He let out a sigh of relief, descended from the dense forest, and landed slowly on his tiptoes.
Looking in the direction of the military camp, Gu Yanan hurried back.
When Liu Dashan returned to the military camp, he had just finished his patrol when he saw Gu Yan'an rushing towards the tent in a hurry.
"Where have you been?" Liu Dashan's shout scared Gu Yan'an.
He scratched his face and coughed lightly: "I didn't do anything. There is a stream outside. I thought I would take a dip."
Liu Dashan looked up and down at Gu Yanan and patted him on the shoulder. "It's almost late autumn. You dare to go to the stream that is colder than ice water? I respect you as a man."
Gu Yan'an laughed awkwardly and asked quickly, "Brother Liu, what's the meal today?"
"The food has been gone since you went out." Liu Dashan took out a steamed bun from his clothes and threw it into Gu Yanan's arms.
"Let's go. Today, a few people came to the military camp, holding a portrait and asking around. They said they were looking for the runaway prince of the Marquisate."
Gu Yan'an's body was tense. He ate a steamed bun without saying a word.
"I took a few glances at the portrait, and inexplicably felt that it looked very much like you, Shanshi."
"They just look alike. There are so many people in the world, it's inevitable that there are some similarities." Gu Yan'an took off his helmet and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Fortunately, he changed his appearance slightly before going out.
If the art of disguise was still in the development stage and unable to completely change his appearance, why would he have used the wedding night to escape?
"Besides, if I were really the prince, would I come here to suffer like this?"
Liu Dashan gave him a meaningful look and chuckled, "Really? Maybe the pampered prince also has a heart to protect his country."
Gu Yanan's performance on the battlefield in the past few days has been truly amazing. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he can also read and write, which is rare in the army.
Such talents would never be buried if they had military industry, Liu Dashan's heart was moved.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away. Gu Yan'an moved his ears and put on his helmet immediately.
Liu Dashan walked in front of him and met several people in black robes. Each of them had a badge around his waist with the word "Yi" engraved on it.
"Have you seen this man?"
The man in the lead took out a portrait, which was of Gu Yanan.
Liu Dashan stepped forward and looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
Those people looked at Gu Yanan again with heavy eyes.
"Have you seen it?"
Gu Yanan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I haven't seen it."
Several men in black robes looked at each other and their eyes moved several times on Gu Yanan's helmet.
"Hurry up and go on patrol! If you delay the patrol, you will be subject to military law."
Liu Dashan shouted loudly, Gu Yan'an straightened his back, said yes, and turned to leave.
Then, he walked over and said with a smile: "You have come from far away. I have checked everything this morning and there is indeed no such person. How about you take a rest first?"
As Liu Dashan took these people away, Gu Yan'an's tense nerves finally relaxed.
However, if he keeps hiding things like this, it is inevitable that he will reveal his flaws, and the day will come when he will be exposed.
Even faster than Gu Yanan imagined.
"Prince, please stop making trouble and come back with us."
"Sir, the princess is very worried about me in the capital. Please stop being willful and return with me."
Gu Yanan had only taken a few steps when he was surrounded by the secret guards of the Marquis' Mansion. He felt a little annoyed and careless.
Those who were searching openly were just a cover, the secret guards were the key. I was afraid that his whereabouts today had already been discovered by the secret guards, and they were just waiting for the opportunity.
Gu Yanan said nothing, listening to the secret guards' earnest advice, and sneered: "No, if you insist on me returning to Beijing, then take my body back with you."
After saying this, he drew out the broken blade at his waist and was about to cut the throat. Everyone was so frightened that they dared not move and even advised him to think twice.
The prince threatened to commit suicide, and the secret guards were unable to take him away by force, so they could only send a letter back to the Marquis's Mansion.
……
"Princess, this is the sample of winter clothes to be made this winter. Here is the account, please have a look."
Butler Gu said cautiously.
Su Jinhua raised his head and took the booklet with a smile.
Her eyes moved slowly across the booklet, stopping from time to time to point out some problems.
Although the problem is small, if it is not corrected immediately, there will be many people in this mansion who want to make money.
After reading the accounts, Su Jinhua looked at the winter clothing sample and whispered, "The fabric can be thicker. It's cold in winter, and we have to make sure everyone can wear warm clothes. We must not cut corners."
Butler Gu nodded quickly, thinking that the Crown Prince's wife was very thoughtful.
Su Jinhua thought for a moment and continued to instruct: "Winter is coming, prepare some cold-repelling herbs in the kitchen in case of emergency. Also, the quality of the charcoal is very important. Don't be greedy and buy low-quality charcoal."
"It's a small matter to waste more coal, but it's a big matter to get sick. Not only does it take a toll on your body, but it also delays the work you're doing."
Su Jinhua's tone was gentle, and he seemed to be kind in giving instructions regarding the purchase of charcoal, but in fact, his words contained a warning.
The purchasing staff in the mansion will inevitably make some money when purchasing things outside. It’s okay for small items, but don’t think she can’t see these little tricks.
But you must never be careless when it comes to charcoal fire. If you are discovered, the consequences will be unbearable.
Butler Gu hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, thinking that he would have to go and scold the servants who were doing their work, because the Crown Prince's Consort was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Su Jinhua saw that Butler Gu was a sensible person, so he glanced at Banxia.
Banxia immediately took out a small purse and put it in Butler Gu's hand.
"You've been running around these past few days, and the weather is dry. The housekeeper should buy some good tea to moisten your throat."
"Thank you, Princess."
This is to make him think carefully before speaking, and to strike when necessary, and never slack off.
"Banxia, send the butler out."
"Yes."
Watching Butler Gu leave, Su Jinhua took a sip of tea with a deep look in his eyes.
……
The eldest princess sat beside the dressing table. Her face in the mirror remained the same, but there were a few traces of time in the corners of her eyes.
Yu Cui combed her long hair carefully and said softly, "The Crown Prince's Concubine has managed the house in an orderly manner and has never made any mistakes. Today, I heard that the Crown Prince's Concubine strictly controlled the charcoal fire and scolded Butler Gu."
The eldest princess heard this and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes: "Oh? She even took care of the charcoal fire? This is really careful. The affairs of the mansion really need more attention. If the servants are not reminded, they will easily forget their duties."
"Recently, when there were guests at the Marquis' Mansion, the Crown Prince's Consort also did a great job. She prepared the right cakes and food, as well as the proper gifts in return. Her etiquette was also thorough. She didn't look like someone from a small family at all."
The eldest princess nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on her face.
"It would be better if she could stand out a little more."
The eldest princess had not yet recovered from her illness and felt a little sleepy after chatting for a while, so Yucui waited for her until she rested.
