After being forced to marry the prince

An Yu came to the General's Mansion quite a few times, following Gu Qingshu's familiar path.

Chu Wu took a step back, and asked Gu Baiji in a low voice, "General, is there anything I can do for you, General?"

It’s not that he suspects that people’s kindness in giving gifts is not simple, it’s true that Chu Wu is not that kind of narcissistic person, the people around Gu Baiji probably can be called polite if they don’t shake him face to face, and they take the initiative to come forward It's hard to imagine a gift.

Now that he has already taken the initiative to come to the door, he can't make it difficult for the guests.

"There is really one thing." Gu Baiji knew what he meant, so he nodded and explained the cause and effect of the tranquilizing pill.

Chu Wudao: "Is it just like this? Then these bacon should be ashamed."

Gu Baiji said: "It's because I didn't think carefully, these pills have miraculous effects, and it's not easy to come by..."

"No trouble." Chu Wu interrupted him, "It's a little hard to find just one medicine in it, but it's still simple in general. It just so happens that there are still some left. I will prepare some more for the general later, and the general will handle it by himself." .”

"Okay." Gu Baiji nodded and said, "If you need medicinal materials or manpower, you can tell me."

Chu Wu was not polite to him either, and nodded upon hearing this.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chu Wu took the initiative to bring up the matter, and only said that he knew some medical skills, so An Yu didn't look very good, but didn't he rest properly?

After chatting a few words like this, he took advantage of the opportunity to give away those pills, and even bought some more commonly used and rare medicines.

Ze An Yu accepted it with a bewildered face, thinking that this prince is really understanding, and he was still struggling with how to speak, and he gave it more than the amount.

After another lunch, Ze An Yu left after eating and drinking.

In the clear afternoon, Chu Wu was teaching Gu Nanshu to recognize medicinal herbs in the yard, when the family boy came to report that someone had come from the palace.

It was a young eunuch next to Eunuch Xiao who came with an oral order, saying that His Majesty missed the Ninth Prince, and it happened that there was a family banquet in the palace today, and ordered the general and his wife to enter the palace for the banquet.

Chu Wu and Gu Baiji received the decree, and when they arrived at the palace, it was already an hour later. Except for the prince and princess who were in the palace, everyone else who went out to build the mansion also returned to the palace, including several A relative of the emperor who is favored by the emperor.

This also includes Lin Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Lin Heng's mother is Princess Yuan'an, the late emperor's sister, and it is reasonable to be invited.

The banquet has not yet started, and the emperor's concubine has not yet arrived, so the hall is quite lively.

Although the emperor had many heirs, many of them died young. Almost all the princes and princesses present, Gu Baiji, knew each other, and Chu Wu didn't introduce too much.

Seeing the two people coming in, everyone came to say hello.

Before the emperor arrived, the banquet participants gathered in twos and threes, or talked about the past and the present, or shared some cherished things, and the prince simply presided over the order.During the shuttle, the palace maids and eunuchs brought tea and snacks.

"Ninth Brother, General Gu!" Crown Prince Chu Jun excused the ceremony from the two of them, and said to Gu Baiji with a smile, "From now on, I will be my family, General Gu doesn't need to be strict with the etiquette."

Royal brothers, except for one mother, no matter how good at superficial kung fu they are, they are rarely close.

So after saying a few words, the prince left.

"General Gu is indeed as rumored, tall, handsome, brave and burly!"

As soon as the prince left, a voice came from behind, and the two turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see that it was Chu Rui, the seventh prince.

What he said was praise, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but those slightly deep eyes were like a cold pool, making Chu Rui even more difficult to get close to.

"Ninth brother can find such a good marriage, what a blessing!" Finally, Chu Rui summed it up meaningfully.

Chu Wu was not affected at all, and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Seven."

Gu Baiji nodded slightly, his face troubled: "Prince Rui has won the award!"

"However..." Chu Rui looked at Chu Wu's expression, and then said slowly, "Ninth Brother's complexion doesn't seem to be very good, but is there anything you are not used to when you first arrive at the General's Mansion or..."

Chu Rui paused, then said, "What's wrong with your body?"

Chu Wudao: "I'm fine, thank you Brother Seven for your concern."

Chu Rui still had the feeling that a sentence could not be conveyed in a thousand words, and his probing eyes fell on Chu Wu, before turning around and leaving, he added another sentence:

"It's okay...it's best."

Chu Wu looked at his back and had some bad premonition in his heart.He turned his head to look at Gu Baiji, and saw that his brows were also slightly frowned, obviously he didn't have a good feeling for the Seventh Prince.

Sensing his gaze, Gu Baiji turned his head and asked suddenly:

"Has the relationship between your lord and Prince Rui always been this good?"

As soon as we meet, we care about our health or something.

Chu Wu shook his head and said in a low voice, "On the contrary."

For Chu Rui, not to mention meeting and greeting, even talking about life and death, the other party probably won't frown.

When things go wrong, there must be a demon, Gu Baiji thought about it a few times, and finally thought of what happened in the restaurant that day.

He thought about it for a while, and had another guess in his mind, and said in a low voice:

"Chu Rui's mother and concubine, Concubine Rong, was born in a rich mansion, and she is the aunt of Li Juncai."

Chu Wu understood what he meant almost immediately. Since he was injured, the only people he has come into contact with besides the general's mansion are Li Juncai and those dudes. It just so happened that day, his hand injury was drenched with blood again.

If Li Juncai really noticed this, it would be normal if it finally reached his aunt—Concubine Rong.

There are so many people in this place, it is really not suitable for more discussions.After all, Chu Wu had to understand a little bit about Tianjia's mind, he thought about it, and said to Gu Baiji:

"You don't have to worry, general. Even if this matter really comes to Father's ears, according to Father's character, if you are really sure about it, you and I probably won't be standing here now."

Therefore, even if Li Juncai really reported this matter to Concubine Rong's mother and son as well as the emperor, at most it was only suspicious.

While talking, the two walked to their seats and sat down according to the guidance of the maids and eunuchs. They greeted others along the way, such as Lin Huan, the son of the late princess, and the third prince.

"Anyway, be more careful." After a pause, after the maids and eunuchs around him left, Gu Baiji told Chu Wudao again: "If they deliberately try, the prince doesn't have to hold back, it doesn't matter if they are found out."

The concern in the voice was too obvious, Chu Wu raised his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled softly, the delicate eyebrows and eyes were even more radiant because of this pleasant smile, and it was almost impossible to look away.

"okay, I get it."

When the two got along, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, even if they didn't hear what they were talking clearly, they could still see the warmth and joy from Chu Wumian.

"The general and brother Jiu get along really well!"

Without looking back, Chu Yu saw the Eleventh Prince Chu Yu sitting not far from the two of them, smiling and nodding, "General, Ninth Brother!"

"Eleventh Prince!"

"Eleventh brother!"

The two returned their salutes, and after a short exchange of greetings, they saw a row of eunuchs and maids filing in, the surroundings became quiet, and everyone looked up at the gate of the palace.

The emperor, imperial concubine, concubine Rong and other concubines have arrived!

In his sixtieth year, the emperor was a little thin, his complexion was yellowish, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he was not angry but mighty.The imperial concubine who followed her was glamorous, and the concubine Rong was soft and graceful.

The table was quiet, and even the movements of eating were soft and slow.

The emperor put down his chopsticks, looked at Chu Wu and Gu Baiji, glanced at them, and said with a smile:

"Ah Jiu is here too, I haven't seen you for a long time, come here, let me see you!"
