Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The fingertips on his knees trembled slightly, and Gu Qinghe raised his eyes, seeming to be a little curious about this, "A man? Can he survive after entering this place?"

Yan Rou raised her eyebrows with some admiration, "I saw it, this guy was wearing a sachet, which contained mostly insect repellent herbs. The poisonous insects in this forest are very sensitive to smells, so not many of them approached him. Even if there were some, they were not very good. He was still alive when my sister picked him up."

Ouyang Xia glanced at Gu Qinghe with a deep look in her eyes. When she saw Yan Rou looking at her, she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, how far is this place from your Huxiang imperial capital? Can we get there by daybreak?"

"There's no need to wait till dawn," Yan Rou snapped her fingers, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't fly to Huxiang at this time. Gu Qinghe could only close his eyes and rest, waiting until they arrived in Huxiang and met the imperial teacher.

If this person is really her brother, then this trip will be worth it no matter how hard it is.

If the national teacher is someone else and has nothing to do with her brother, Gu Qinghe will not give up. Unless she sees her brother's body, she will keep looking.

It was still dark when they arrived at the imperial capital, and Yan Rou settled them in her palace.

When Gu Qinghe asked the servants to take a few people down, she stopped. The running around in the past few days made her complexion look not very good, and her lips were dry and pale.

"When will the prince enter the palace tomorrow?"

"I have to go early in the morning, but you can rest first." Yan Rou didn't care about the affairs of the court in her early years. The king gave her the title of prince, which was just an empty position for her to enjoy completely. Besides, she didn't understand the messy things in the court.

However, there was civil unrest in Huxiang in recent years. Even though Huxiang's regulations did not allow people to go out, the people's yearning for the outside world could not be resisted, and various regulations were overturned in recent years.

After the men left Huxiang and saw the lives of other men outside, they naturally felt resentful and biased, so some of them took the lead in making trouble.

But my sister said that since these men want equality and want to feed the poisonous insects like women, they need to go into the forest and spend the night like women to find poisonous insects that are inferior to them.

But if this happens, these people will not be willing to do so.

Yan Rou finally understood that what they really wanted was to have the same status as the men in the outside world, but they were unwilling to take on the responsibilities of the women of Huxiang.

It is ridiculous to want status but not be willing to pay the price.

The hardships of the past few years have made Yan Rou grow a lot, so much so that the moment Gu Qinghe said that she was Lu Zhiyao's daughter, she knew that she must have come for the cooperation between Lirang and Huxiang.

But she couldn't give Gu Qinghe a definite answer on this matter, and she had to go to the palace to ask her elder sister first.

Gu Qinghe pursed her dry lips, her voice slightly hoarse, "I can't sleep, can I go to the palace with the prince?"

Yan Rou was a little embarrassed and advised: "I know why you came, but this matter is not something I can decide. Let me discuss it with my sister and then I will bring you to the palace. How about that?"

"Your Highness may have misunderstood. After I arrived in Yun State, I was certain that Hu Xiang had no intention of continuing to cooperate with Li Rang, so this time, I did not come here for the matter of Rui Dynasty."

"Why is that?"

"Your Highness said that the King once picked up a man from the forest and brought him back. That man is Hu Xiang's military advisor, right?"

Yan Rou frowned and looked at Gu Qinghe with some scrutiny, "What do you mean?"

During this journey, Gu Qinghe was basically certain that Prince Huxiang was indeed very grateful to her mother. In addition, when she came here, her mother also told her that Lord Huxiang could be trusted.

Of course, people change, so she didn't tell Yan Rou much about herself along the way. Yan Rou could see her guard, but didn't take it to heart.

But if you want the other person to be honest, you must not keep hiding things.

So she said slowly: "The purpose of my coming this time is for this Hu Xiang military advisor."

Yan Rou looked at her for a moment, then turned and walked towards the study, "Come with me."

After arriving at the study and dismissing the servants, Yan Rou asked curiously, "Do you know the military advisor?"

"Not sure," Gu Qinghe shook his head, "It's just a guess."

She recounted the experiences of the Chen family in recent times. Her words were few and her tone was flat, but Yan Rou's eyes were red.

"Bastard!"

She was so angry that she slammed her palms on the desk until they were numb, and her voice was trembling, "What kind of idiot is your Rui Dynasty's emperor? Is there a pig's head on his neck?"

In this situation, Gu Qinghe was amused by her for the first time and smiled for a short time. "There is no body of my brother in front of Bazi Slope, and I also heard that my brother might still be alive. It just so happened that the Princess Lirang who went to Rui Dynasty to marry told me that Military Advisor Hu Xiang is from our Rui Dynasty, so I came here to try my luck."

"No matter if Hu Xiang is my brother or not, I will never give up after seeing him for a while."

Yan Rou gritted her teeth and said, "You come with me into the palace, right now."

At daybreak, Gu Qinghe and Yan Rou boarded the carriage to the palace.

Yan Rou is not a person who follows rules very much, and Lord Hu Xiang indulges her, so the rules of the palace are dispensable to her.

She led Gu Qinghe directly to the king's bedroom.

When the palace maid saw her, she immediately became nervous and said, "My Lord, His Majesty is still asleep. The memorial was not submitted until midnight yesterday, and he has only been asleep for a short time. How about you come back after His Majesty wakes up?"

Yan Rou was about to speak when Gu Qinghe gently pulled her sleeve and said, "My Lord, let's wait a moment."

After the two waited for a while, Lord Huxiang sent someone to call them.

The Queen of Huxiang was a very dignified woman with a high nose and slender phoenix eyes. She couldn't help but lower her head when she looked at her.

Her eyes fell on Gu Qinghe, and she turned to ask Yan Rou, "What is this?"

Yan Rou grinned, "Sister, guess."

Gu Qinghe does not look like Lu Zhiyao. On the way to Huxiang, she took off all the disguise on her face. Her gorgeous facial features have nothing to do with Lu Zhiyao at all.

So much so that Lord Huxiang stared at it for a long time and slowly shook his head, "I can't guess."

"This is Sister Lu's daughter." Yan Rou's happy expression suddenly collapsed when she thought of Lu Zhiyao's experience, "Sister Lu is not doing well now."

When Sister Lu said a few words, Gu Qinghe clearly saw that Lord Huxiang tightened his fingertips holding the teacup.

There was a slight fluctuation in his calm eyes, "Please speak properly."

Yan Rou told the story of Lu Zhiyao. Different from Gu Qinghe's calm narration, she spoke with great emotion and even exaggerated the infuriating parts. When she finished speaking, the teacup in Lord Huxiang's hand was crushed into pieces.
