Chapter 301: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (20)
The triumphant Gu family army entered Beijing at the end of the year.
To show his great favor, Zhan Linxiao personally went to the city gate to welcome the soldiers, and he even insisted on bringing the imperial concubine along.
Heavy snow fell in every corner of the capital. Gu Yun's black cloak was covered with frost and snow. He was riding on a tall horse and saw Gu Zhen at a glance.
He raised his sister single-handedly.
His father died in the battlefield and his mother died of illness due to excessive worry. As the eldest brother, he raised his younger sister like a father.
Seeing Gu Zhen standing there wrapped up like a ball and smiling at him, Gu Yun's heart felt like a seasoning bottle had been overturned, and all kinds of feelings surged into his mind.
Damn the emperor, how could he have the heart to let a woman who was only seven months pregnant stand on the city wall in the cold wind.
What if something goes wrong?
What the lady said in the letter was indeed true. Not only did the Emperor not love the Imperial Concubine, but he actually let her be a shield and stepping stone for the man he loved!
This is not what a man should do, the person responsible should be killed!
Gu Yun's bearded, hard face suddenly became darker. He patiently led a few of his followers to the foot of the city wall.
After lifting his cloak, Gu Yun knelt upright, his voice penetrating through the layers of snow like a huge bell: "Your Highness and I pay our respects to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
Zhan Linxiao actually admired the bravery of the Gu family, but his achievements overshadowed his master. The people who had just spontaneously formed a welcoming team and shouted Gu Yun's name sounded like a harsh cold wind to his ears.
People only know about the bravery and wisdom of the Gu family, but forget the name of the current emperor. The ruler feels like he is surrounded by tigers and wolves. How can he sit securely on the dragon throne?
Zhan Linxiao put away his thoughts, smiled brightly, and personally took Gu Zhen's hand and walked down the city wall.
He walked fast, and Gu Zhen was glad that something was tangled on her shoes, otherwise she would have been pulled to the ground by him.
Zhan Linxiao walked over with tears in his eyes, helped Gu Yun up, and symbolically supported the other soldiers.
Gu Yun wanted to hide, but thinking that things had come to this point, he simply accepted the help.
Zhan Linxiao's eyes flashed with coldness, but he concealed it very well: "My dear, you are finally back. I missed you so much. Come to the palace with me and have a few drinks to celebrate this happy event!"
Gu Yun was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was held back by Zhan Linxiao.
"My dear minister, there is no need to be so polite. After all, I am still your brother-in-law. Let's just treat today as a family dinner!"
Gu Yun said he didn't dare, and his eyes met with his sister behind him.
Gu Zhen's nose felt sore and the corner of her mouth curled up, and Gu Yun smiled, just like when he was a child, crying when he was wronged.
"elder brother!"
Gu Zhen walked over with small steps, really wanting to throw herself into this broad embrace and let him protect her from the wind and rain.
She misses her brother!
Gu Yun's eyes were swollen, and he tried hard to hold back his tears, "Your Majesty is pregnant, please run slower. You came to greet me in such a cold day. On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank Your Majesty!"
Zhan Linxiao felt even more dissatisfied, but he didn't know what to say. Should he tell everyone that the imperial concubine couldn't come at first and he was the one who forced her out?
"It's natural for the concubine to worry about her brother. Okay, you're crying like this. Today is a happy occasion. Wipe your tears."
Zhan Linxiao hugged Gu Zhen and wiped the tears from her eyes in front of everyone, acting very doting.
At this time, a group of people came from behind Gu Yun, the carriage slowly stopped, and a man with a foreign appearance walked out.
He had a long, broad face, high cheekbones, and chestnut hair tied into a whip and draped behind his head.
If you look closely at the way he walks, you can see that he has a limp. This man is none other than the barbarian leader Si Zhuo.
He performed a barbarian etiquette towards Zhan Linxiao, "Your Majesty, the noble emperor, your servant Sizhuo greets you."
Zhan Linxiao gave the defeated leader enough face. He asked about his foot injury and was considerate and thoughtful.
The group marched toward the palace in a mighty procession. The banquet was ready, and the Queen Mother and the concubines had been waiting for a long time.
Zhan Linxiao took Gu Zhen to sit at the top, while Gu Yun and Si Zhuo sat on the left and right sides of the first row.
No matter what everyone was thinking, the meal was very enjoyable.
Gu Yun had made great contributions, and rewards were sent to him continuously on his way back.
Zhan Linxiao also rewarded Gu Yun with a house at the banquet, not far from the imperial city, as well as thousands of taels of gold and silver, countless slaves, and tens of thousands of acres of land. He was in high spirits and waved his hand, ordering people to bring in several stunning women.
Two were given to Gu Yun, and the rest were given to the barbarian leader Si Zhuo.
Gu Yun was unhappy but he would not offend the emperor on the spot. He thanked him respectfully and accepted the reward.
Sizhuo naturally would not refuse this great favor.
Zhan Linxiao was very satisfied with their tact and gave the palace servant a look.
Immediately, eleven women in belly-revealing skirts came in from outside, slowly clapping their hands and drums. Each of them had affectionate eyes and graceful figures.
The one in the lead was the most beautiful. After she bowed gracefully, several of them drew out the soft swords at their waists, their eyes became serious, and they were about to perform a sword dance.
Gu Zhen's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously covered her stomach.
Zhan Linxiao seemed to be acting strange since this morning.
It was snowing so heavily, but she was forced to go to the city gate to welcome Gu Yun and others. She was already seven months pregnant and any accident would lead to premature birth.
Now Zhan Linxiao was still dancing with a sword in the palace. The sword was sharpened, flashing with cold light, and from time to time it would appear in front of her with a few leaps.
Gu Zhen calmed down. Although he didn't know where Gu Jiuyuan and his men were hiding, the Dragon Shadow Guards were much more powerful than these people.
Both their lives and the child will be fine, but I don’t know what Zhan Linxiao is planning.
And Shen Fangshu is not here today because she is about to give birth.
They tolerated the child to live until Gu Yun came back, so he must not be going to kill anyone. Gu Zhen was drinking tea and eating food flawlessly while thinking about Zhan Linxiao's intention.
Before she could figure it out, the leading woman's movements became much more fierce. She suddenly shouted, "Dog Emperor! Give me your life!"
The sound came before the person arrived, and then the soft sword made a clanging sound and came straight towards Zhan Linxiao.
Zhan Linxiao seemed to be worried about the imperial concubine beside him. He put his arm around Gu Zhen and stood up, barely avoiding the sword.
"There are assassins!"
The female assassin was agile and wielded her sword, intending to first deal with the imperial concubine who was in the way. Gu Zhen met her gaze and suddenly smiled.
While the female assassin was stunned, a nun with a figure even more strange than her suddenly appeared from the side.
She didn't even see the other party's movements clearly, and she screamed and let go of the soft sword in her hand. She felt a sharp pain in her wrist, as if it was broken.
The nanny just raised her hand and gave a gentle push, and the female assassin let out a sharp wail and flew out.
"My lady, I am late and have frightened you. Please punish me."
Gu Zhen stroked her hairpin slowly and calmly: "What crime have you committed? You came just in time and protected me and the emperor. Go down and receive your reward."
In just a few breaths, the nanny took action to deal with the assassin, and Gu Yun and his soldiers did not have a chance to show their skills.
Gu Yun reacted first and subdued the assassin who wanted to commit suicide by taking poison. The other dancers were also forced to kneel down and wait for their fate.
Zhan Linxiao's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
