As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 30 News from Kyoto
Stepping on the continuous mountain snow mixed with the creaking of dead branches, Gu Jingyao stood in front with his hands behind his back, and Han Xiujin followed behind a little half a step.

"My lord, the news from the capital is ready. The new emperor is tyrannical, and there are still many old officials in the court who are willing to follow you." Han Xiujin frowned slightly, with a respectful expression.

Gu Jingyao didn't say much, and thought deeply with calm eyes, "This matter needs to be kept secret, and the slightest word must not be leaked."

"Don't worry, my lord. It's just that my mansion and private property have been confiscated by the emperor in the name of filling the national treasury since you disappeared. Now money has become a difficult problem." Han Xiujin scratched the back of his head, feeling a little ashamed. A civil official of the Qing Dynasty, he would not bend his waist for the powerful, but now he is in trouble for five buckets of rice.

"I still have some private property in Yangzhou, no one knows about it, you find a way to contact this person, he knows what to do." Gu Jingyao took out a note from his arms and put it on his fingertips and handed it to Han Xiujin.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Han Xiujin was overjoyed, he knew that Gu Jingyao looked gentle and gentle, harmless to humans and animals, but in fact his mind was unfathomable, otherwise he would not be safe and sound under the siege of the new emperor. God knows how complicated he was when he first learned that Gu Jingyao was in this remote village.

"Well, it's time for you to return to Beijing?" Gu Jingyao looked at his subordinate and friend, and said lightly.

"Yes, this time the bandit clearing was a great success. There was news from the capital that the subordinates would personally escort the bandit leader Wang Qinglong back to Beijing for trial. He will leave soon."

"Well, I will return to Beijing after the New Year's Eve." Gu Jingyao's expression was indifferent. There must always be a legitimate reason to return to Beijing in an open and honest manner. The emperor simply cared about the dignity of the first emperor and could not start with a big fanfare. Therefore, the higher the profile, the safer it is to return this time. .

Han Xiujin raised his head to look at Gu Jingyao, then looked at the small courtyard where the smoke was curling up from the kitchen, struggled and said, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something wrong."

"Are you going to let Miss Qiu go back to Beijing with you?"

Han Xiujin was a little embarrassed. Although this was Gu Jingyao's private matter, he still asked because of his special status and Lin Qiulian's entrustment.

Gu Jingyao's face darkened, and he looked at him with a bit of displeasure, "This is not something you should worry about."

Han Xiujin frowned, implying that Qiu Yeli would go back to Beijing with him, wouldn't Lin Qiulian
"My lord, my subordinates shouldn't have said these things, but we have known each other for so many years. I have to say that you are a lord, and the future princess must also be a person of high status. Besides, if the ministers of the court want to marry."

Han Xiujin thought about it, and said it all at once, with a look of disapproval on his face.

Han Xiujin stopped and looked at the man firmly, "Qiu Yeli is my wife who is married to Tiandi. From now on, no matter where I go, she will naturally accompany me. I don't want to hear similar words in the future."

Gu Jingyao naturally knew what he was worried about, but since Qiu Yeli was willing, he would definitely protect her well, as he said, hold her hand and grow old together.

Han Xiujin sighed slightly, knowing that he always said what he said, and if he said more, he might be offended.

He still disagrees, people in Kyoto are complicated, how many pairs of eyes are fixed on Gu Jingyao's princess position, and if he is not careful, he will end up dead without a whole body. Noble, life is as small and fragile as ants.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Han Xiujin bowed his head and said yes, and simply changed the topic, "One more thing, this subordinate has just received a secret letter from Shen Zhizhou, asking him to release Liu Zhuangyong and Qiu Yeyue."

"Shen Zhizhou? Shen Zishan, the Zhizhou of Mianyang?" Han Xiujin frowned slightly. He had some impression of Shen Zishan. When the first emperor was here, he was a close confidant of the current emperor's faction and had countless greeds. He was the emperor's enthroned minister.

"It's him, this Liu family probably has a lot to do with Shen Zishan." Han Xiujin looked serious, and wanted to deal with Liu Zhuangyong before leaving, but Shen Zhizhou knew about this, and in order to avoid making trouble, he had to keep Liu Zhuangyong.

Gu Jingyao responded casually, his dark pupils were calm, but people dare not look directly at them.

"Then this subordinate will go back first." Han Xiujin leaned slightly and left. The two purposes of coming to Qingshui Town this time have been fulfilled, but it is a pity that he cannot personally escort Gu Jingyao back to Beijing.

Han Xiujin left, the man walked outside along the foot of the mountain, it was getting late, he took Li Xiaozhu and Li Xiaoyue home from the private school.

The two sisters walked together hand in hand, Li Xiaoyue held Gu Jingyao's big hand timidly, although she was sometimes naughty, but she knew that the prince and father had always taken care of her, so she still liked this father very much.

Not to be outdone, Li Xiaozhu turned around and pulled the man back, raising his signature obedient and ingratiating smile.

The small courtyard of the Gu family is quite the opposite. The dilapidated thatched hut is neatly tidied up, and everything in the courtyard is neat and clean. The two little rabbits are naive and gnawing carrots leisurely. Not afraid to see people.

Li Xiaozhu picked up his gray rabbit with a big smile on his face. After studying the Book of Songs for a day, it was rather boring.

However, Li Xiaoyue seemed to be a different person, she was much more sensible, and shouted "Mother, we are back!"
Qiu Yeli was busy in the kitchen, and the purchased New Year's goods were piled up in one place, looking a little messy.

"Let me do it." Gu Jingyao walked into the kitchen, took the firewood and added it in with great eyesight, and the fire was burning vigorously. Against the background of the fire, the man's cold and hard side face looked much softer.

"Mother, what shall we have for dinner tonight?" Li Xiaoyue looked at Qiu Yeli with her head poking around.

"Sauerkraut stewed vermicelli." Qiu Yeli said while frying, the smell of the pot was wafting, Li Xiaoyue swallowed her saliva in a very useless way, then wrinkled her nose, "Mother, why is there no meat?"

Qiu Yeli chuckled, looking at the little girl, who recently had her mouth in her mouth, and would be unhappy if there was no meat in her meal.

"Want to eat meat? Why don't you offer it?"

Li Xiaoyue instantly showed an expression of disbelief as if she had been struck by lightning. How would she contribute?Do you want to stew yourself in an iron pot?

"Mother, I don't like to eat." Li Xiaoyue hesitated and said cautiously.

"I'm talking about your rabbit, I might consider making a spicy rabbit head!" Qiuye Li joked.

"You can't eat rabbits, rabbits are so cute, why do you eat rabbits! Sister, mother, you are all bad people! I won't let you eat rabbits!" A rabbit, holding the little gray rabbit tightly in his arms, with a nervous expression on his face.

Everyone was stunned and then laughed, leaving only Li Xiaozhu and the rabbit looking at each other with a helpless and puzzled expression.
