emperor of a dynasty

Because in Gu Ming's heart and eyes, she will always be that high and mighty Highness, while she herself is just a courtier.

It is a king and a subject, not a husband and a wife.

Who will believe it?They have been married for more than two months, except for the night when they just got married, the two of them shared the same bed, for the rest, Gu Ming slept in the ground floor separated by a screen. In a word, I will definitely not disturb her, and I will always address her as "Your Highness".

Respect each other like a bridesmaid, be courteous and respectful, just like the name said when they got married, she will always respect her, respect her, protect her, and never mention the matter of loving her.

"I heard from people from the palace that the king has promoted you?" Murong Xi asked her.

Gu Ming said respectfully, "Return to Your Highness: Yes."

Murong Xi smiled wryly, "You are already a captain, and your official position is already higher than mine." The implication is that she doesn't want Gu to be named her Highness.

But Gu Ming can't, Gu Ming will always be that Gu Ming, stern.

"Monarchs and ministers must not be chaotic," she said.

"..."

After a long while, Murong Xi said, "Are you going to the East Realm?"

"Yes, escort His Royal Highness to go."

"How long?"

"Return to Your Highness: If the pace is fast, it will take about one and a half to come and go."

After hearing such a long time, Murong Xi frowned slightly, she didn't know what to say, she didn't want to go to Gu Ming privately, but she knew too well that Gu Ming was not a bird in a cage, but a falcon that day.

Gu Ming saw that she had stopped talking, so he bowed again, and was about to back off, but unexpectedly, when passing by Murong Xi, he heard the latter ask her:

"General Gu—do you know why I want to marry you?"

Hearing this, Gu Ming stopped in his tracks, turned his head and lowered his eyebrows, and said respectfully, "I know. Your Highness is kind to me."

Murong Xi smiled wryly, turned his head slightly, looked at Gu Ming, who was tall and tall against the light, and said calmly, "Then why don't you repay the favor."

"If Your Highness is useful to get Gu Ming, Gu Ming is willing to go through fire and water."

Murong Xi looked at her without speaking.

In fact, she really wanted to tell Gu Ming that she didn't want her to go through fire and water, she just wanted her not to be so alienated from her... But before she could say it, the other party went away after a salute.

It was at this time that Murong Xi really understood what Sister Wang Murong Yan said before she got married, "She is a woman, but you want to marry her, I have no objection. But what I want to tell you is: Gu Ming There are so many things to bear in your life, so much that maybe you will never wait for her to be as brave as you in your whole life."

...Maybe, she really wasn't brave enough.

The day for Mu Congcong to go to the East has finally arrived. Although Murong Cong said that the officials of the DPRK and China do not need to send him, but after all, he is the heir of a country, so when Mu Congcong left the city, many officials came, many of them were At that time, his father was still the staff and guests of Shimen, but now more than ten years have passed, they have already become people in the court, holding a certain power in their hands, Mu Cong recognized them one by one, smiled similarly, and turned around calmly.

All this was told by her personal servant.

The servant was chosen by her father for her when she was born, and she was secretly trained for many years, three years older than her. In order to avoid suspicion and keep secret, the servant has been hiding in the manor her father bought outside the capital for many years. After she was ten years old, the servant was taken back by the loyal old servant in the East Palace after many twists and turns, and served her personally, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

The servant has no name, so she named the servant "Yi".

She knew a lot of things there, for example, she knew about her father's former subordinates, which ones are still loyal to her father and her, and which ones have betrayed; for example, she knew that her grandfather secretly Some nasty things she did, she brought her mother along; for example, she knew about her father's death... Maybe it's not as simple as the world said.

Her mother, her grandfather, her... aunt.

…Maybe everyone had something to do with her father's death, in one way or another.But all the conspiracies and schemes cannot be settled until she returns to the capital again.

The servant said that going away this time was a good opportunity for her to restrain her power.

"It's far enough away from the king's capital, and there's enough foundation for your highness to use it. It's a good time for your highness to show off your grand plans."

But Mu Congcong was thinking, if that's the case... how will the husband treat her?

This is how Mu Congcong left the city with a heavy heart in his arms. Yan Wuwei made a special trip to see her off at her house yesterday, so Mu Congcong's not coming today was also within Mu Congrong's expectation. At that time, Mu Cong met Jian Zhi who had just returned from outside the city by accident. Jian Zhi was riding a brown horse, wearing a blue gown, with black hair and blue eyes, he was really handsome.

Seeing Mu Congcong's convoy, Jane dismounted and stood on the side of the road to salute, Mu Congcong was very happy to see him, stopped the car, lifted the curtain and smiled at Jian Zhi, "Where did Yifan come back from? "

She called so intimately that Jian Zhi couldn't help but smile.

"Come back from Waizhuang." Jian Zhi replied, "Is this going to leave?"

"That's right, we're leaving now."

Jian Jian nodded, "The eastern border is remote, so please be careful when you go."

Mu Congcong agreed, and said again, "Have you received the gift I gave you?" She smiled beautifully, like the warm sun in early spring, which made Jian Zhi's heart burn.

"Got it, Yifan likes it very much." Jian Zhi paused and asked, "When will you be back?"

"Maybe one year, maybe two or three years." Mu Congcong was full of vigor, wearing a jade crown, she was really a beauty, "Will Jian Zhi come to the east to see me?"

The latter was startled, and then smiled, "If there is a chance."

Just as Mu Congcong was about to say more, the servant beside the car stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's time to start. General Gu is asking."

Mu Congcong looked up, and sure enough, he saw Gu Ming in military uniform riding on a black horse - her new uncle.

Thinking of what her aunt Murong Rong told her before leaving, Murong Cong suddenly lost his expression, and said to Jian Zhi outside the car, "Then I'll leave first."

Jian Jian stood under the horse. At that time, he was not as tall as Ma, just a young boy. Hearing this, he smiled at her, "Go early and come back early."

Mu Congcong agreed, lowered the curtain and embarked on the journey to the east.

Jian Jian told her to go early and return early, and she agreed, but what no one expected was that she had been there for four years, and was not called back to the capital until it was time.

At that time, the capital of the kingdom has changed, and it is no longer the same as when she left it. After a rebellion, many officials in the capital of the kingdom were moved out, and at the very beginning of the matter, they also left the capital with her. related.

After Mu Congcong left the capital, everything went smoothly except for two heavy rain accidents. She arrived at the East Realm in four days on No.20, and Gu Ming, who was in charge of escorting her all the way there, also came here. Even if the goal is accomplished, they don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something else. When they arrived, nomads crossed the border to rob food, and the local officials on the east border were the focus. , Seeing Mu Congcong and his party arrive, they cried and complained, as if the country was about to perish.In fact, the scale of the chaos was not large, there were no more than a hundred people around, and there were not many horses. One could tell that it was not organized and premeditated. It's just that the eastern border has been peaceful for too long, and when something happened suddenly, the officials panicked .

Local officials can be flustered, but Mu Cong and others absolutely can't, and since they have met, there is no reason to let it go, so Gu Ming, a young general who is good at leading troops to fight, made peace in the east All of a sudden, he led twenty soldiers on horseback and ran across several hills to arrest the homeless people who crossed the border one by one, and then let Mu Cong decide to kill them on the wall—of course it wasn't Murong. It was Yi who told her about Qi Qi's idea, because it could buy people's hearts.

She did as she did, and sure enough, the people in the Eastern Realm looked at her, the prince who came from afar, with admiration. It was the first time she had tasted power, and then she became addicted like crazy, but these are all for later. .

After Gu Ming put down the chaos, he reorganized his team on the third day and led his troops back to the capital. When he went back, because there was no escort mission, Gu Ming just practiced his soldiers—he just shortened the journey of more than 20 days. seventeenth.

Even so, it took three months to go back and forth to the east.

It was only early summer in the capital when she left, but it was almost autumn when she returned.

Arriving outside the city gate of Wangdu, Gu Ming wanted to go directly to the city and return to the palace to return to his life, but when he reached the tea shed, he was extremely thirsty. The autumn tigers in Wangdu were too powerful, and it was still early, so he stopped After drinking some tea, he ordered some sweet dates to share with the soldiers. While eating, he heard the people on the table next to him chatting:

"Hey, have you heard? The princess is really committing suicide in the mansion this time."

"Isn't it? Which girl was treated so frivolously on the street in broad daylight that she was looking for a life? This is His Royal Highness the princess."

"Then what does the king say? Don't you let her sister decide?"

"What kind of master? The other party is the general's son, how can he be the master? Even if the king has such a heart..." Just as he was talking vigorously, a figure came over, full of pressure:

"—Which Princess?"

The two chattering raised their heads and found a beardless, sharp-eyed, travel-stained soldier. Because of the sudden appearance of Gu Ming, they thought it was bad luck, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mr...Mr. Jun, please forgive me... ..."

Gu Ming's face was cold, expressionless, and he just said, "I ask, which princess is it?"

The two were a little at a loss, "Master Huijun, yes, it's Princess Qinghe..."

"Bam—"

As soon as the words were finished, Gu Ming kicked over the table, picked up the knife and left the tea shed, got on the horse, and left in the dust.

The soldiers under him looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of surprise in their eyes, then they also got on their horses and went into the city.
