The nine princesses of the East Palace

Seeing my red eyes, my cousin hurriedly said, "Sister, don't cry."

"Who is crying?" I wiped my eyes, and I didn't cry.

The cousin said again: "He may have been taken away by the Central Plains soldiers. Somehow, the Central Plains soldiers helped us fight Shuobo. The [-] troops in front of Shuobo were just a gimmick, and there were [-] troops behind him. Bo is coming in a rush, if there is no help from the Central Plains soldiers, we may have to suffer a little more."

I don't know much about the battlefield, why the soldiers of the Central Plains wanted to help Dan Chi, but Xiao Wu is just a tea merchant, how could the soldiers of the Central Plains take him away?

Cousin glanced at me: "Sister, you never thought that maybe Xiao Wu is not a tea merchant."

I didn't think about it, really didn't think about it.But my cousin must have a reason for saying this.I began to think back to the bits and pieces since I met Gu Xiaowu.

The first time I saw him, he was badly wounded, riding a horse alone, and fell in front of me.The second time I saw him was in the palace, and the guards took him to see Empress Mingyuan.I asked who he was, and he said he was the prince of the N Dynasty. I didn't believe it at the time, so I laughed at him...

Could it be that he really is...

Impossible, I sent someone to inquire,? The prince of the N Dynasty is very cold-tempered, and his methods are ruthless. He took the position of prince with the blood of countless people, and Gu Xiaowu, he loves to laugh and doesn't like to kill. Always with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, he will catch fireflies for me, and he will take risks to kill the white-eyed wolf king for me...won't he be? The prince of the N dynasty, the prince has a lot of things to do every day, how can he have time to stay with me in Danchi for so long? .

Therefore, Gu Xiaowu and that prince should not be the same person.

At this moment, Ah Weng sent someone to ask me to go to his tent. As soon as I entered, I saw a general in armor standing inside, he was Pei Zhao from the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory.

"General Pei." I called.

"Crown Princess." Pei Zhao saluted me.

I said, "I'm not a princess. I'm already married, so I can't marry someone else. Otherwise, if I'm in your Central Plains, I'll be soaked in a pig cage. I don't want to be drowned alive."

However, Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness specifically explained that Mr. Pei would not mistake anyone. His Highness even asked Mr. Pei to bring this, saying that he would show King Tidar a look." As he spoke, the entourage next to him carried a black cloth bag, present.

A Weng ordered someone to open it, and there was a human head inside, with staring eyes, looking eerie.I dare not look at it.

A Weng waved his hand, and ordered someone to close the cloth bag, "I don't know,? Prince N Chao, what does this mean?"

Pei Zhaodao: "Your Highness said that this is a sacrifice to the gods. As for the dowry gift for the princess, it has already been transported to the palace in Xizhou. Dan Chi is far away, so he will not send it over."

A Weng said: "Dan Chi has accepted this sacrifice, as for the betrothal gift, you don't have to bother, Xiaofeng has no intention of marrying into the N dynasty. General Pei, please go back."

Pei Zhao seemed to have expected that Ah Weng would say this, and said slowly: "Pei feels that it is better for the king not to rush into this matter of beating mandarin ducks."

"Who is a mandarin duck with him? I don't know any of your princes at all." I said angrily.

When my cousin questioned me, I vaguely guessed Gu Xiaowu's real identity, but I just didn't want to admit it.And when Pei Zhao presented the head of General Shuo Bo, I was really a fool if I didn't know that Gu Xiaowu was the prince of the N Dynasty.

I was actually very angry, angry that he lied to me... But after thinking about it, he didn't count me as cheating, I was too stupid.I just want an ordinary Gu Xiaowu who will play with me and catch fireflies for me, and I don't want the high-ranking, cold Prince N Dynasty.

Pei Zhao said: "Prince Princess..."

"Don't call me princess!" I interrupted him.

"Princess Ninth." Pei Zhao changed his words, "Your Highness said that he should have come to explain to Princess himself and welcome Princess back to the palace, but he is seriously injured and cannot travel on horseback..."

"Seriously injured? Was he injured?" I asked eagerly.I recalled the scene of him lying in front of him covered with scars that day. He was dying, with blood all over his body, like a blood man... If I hadn’t happened to be there, he might have been taken away by wild wolves ...

"His Royal Highness was in an ambush when he was chasing and killing a traitorous Central Plains general who was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. He was shot in the abdomen with two arrows. The situation was critical, so I decided to escort him back to the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory. He was in a coma for two days. So I ordered Pei to come to Danchi to pick up the princess."

When Pei Zhao said this, the expression on his face was the same as usual, and there was no ups and downs in his tone, but my hands and feet were trembling a little.It's not that Gu Xiaowu won't come back, he won't come back, if the arrow hurts his heart, he won't be able to live.

Isn't he that prince?Aren't there many subordinates?Is it his turn to hunt down the traitor himself?He always said I was stupid, he was stupid!I was so mad at him, if he was in front of me now, I would definitely scold him severely.

"Then, does anyone take care of him in your Western Territory Anhu Mansion?" I thought about it and asked again.It's not that I love him or worry about him. I don't want to be a little widow. After all, so many people in Danchi saw that we exchanged belts and knew that I married him.

Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness is naturally taken care of."

"Was it a man or a woman who took care of him?" I asked again.

"His Highness doesn't like female relatives approaching, and his wounds are under the care of the medical officer."

I coughed and said, "I have nothing to say."

"The matter of going back to Xizhou..."

I said, "I still need to think about it."

Pei Zhao didn't say much, A Weng asked someone to take him to rest.After Pei Zhao left, Ah Weng asked me to sit beside him.

I walked over and sat down, and saw my favorite pastry on the table, so I picked it up and ate it.I haven't eaten properly for the past few days, now that He Shi and my cousin are fine, and Gu Xiaowu has news, my good appetite has returned.

"Xiaofeng, are you willing to marry? N Dynasty?" A Weng asked.I stopped holding the pastry. Actually, I don’t know if I want to, but if I don’t marry, I will never see Gu Xiaowu again. If I don’t see him these days, I feel like eating anything. no taste.When He Shi said that he died, I felt even more like a knife was cut in my heart... Thinking that I would never see him again, I felt very uncomfortable, worse than being sick.

If I don't marry, N Dynasty will still marry Xizhou, and the father will choose one of the sisters to marry, so Gu Xiaowu will marry someone else?I don't want him to marry someone else.He can only smile at me, he can only be nice to me...

But, I thought again, he is not my Gu Xiaowu now, he is the prince of N dynasty, I don't even know his name, will he treat me like Gu Xiaowu?Will he marry as many girls as my father did?I heard that all men in the Central Plains have three wives and four concubines.
