Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 81

Zhang Yi is very eager to return to the imperial city this time. As long as she arrives in the imperial city, she will enjoy the glory and wealth. If she arrived in the imperial city one day earlier, wouldn't she enjoy it one day earlier?

With this in mind, Zhang Yi specially bought a thousand-mile horse and traveled day and night just to return to the prince as soon as possible.

One day, when Zhang Yi rode through a forest, his keen intuition made him frown.

In this mountain forest, apart from the sound of riding a horse, there is no other movement, not even the sound of birds singing.

All these strange things made him can't help speeding up his horse, speeding up, wanting to hurry through this weird bamboo forest.

Suddenly, rustling sounds came from around, and a group of men in black rushed towards her from all directions. Seeing this, Zhang Yi didn't dare to delay any longer.

"Drive!" Zhang Yi clamped the horse's belly tightly and whipped the horse's buttocks vigorously, just wanting to make the horse run faster.

I saw the person who was the leader at the back pulled out the bow and arrow from behind without haste, aimed at the horse's leg, and shot at it all at once.

This man's swordsmanship was very good, and he shot the horse's front leg very accurately. After the horse was shot, its front leg bent, and it threw Zhang Yi directly forward.

Zhang Yi fell off the horse. Seeing that the horse could no longer run, she immediately got up and was about to escape, but was surrounded by men in black.

"Who are you? Why are you intercepting me here!"

I saw the leading man in black put the bow and arrow in his hand behind his back: "His Royal Highness gave you a way to survive. It is you who don't know what is good and what is wrong, and are rushing to seek death."

His Royal Highness?Zhang Yi's heart was full of doubts: "How could His Royal Highness kill me?"

"You're so smart, can't you figure it out?" Zhang Yi's face turned pale in an instant, the prince wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge!

I saw the leader man in black raised his right hand, and the men in black around him all took out their swords.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi took out the saber pinned to her waist and prepared for protection. The atmosphere in the scene was very tense and could be triggered anytime soon.

I saw Zhang Yi turning around in place with the sword, looking for the weakest spot in the circle, and rushing directly towards that spot, preemptively striking.

Not to mention, Zhang Yi took advantage of those people's inattention and rushed to the weakest position, which actually gave him a way out.

But the headed man in black showed no panic on his face, and slowly took out a bow and arrow from behind him, aiming at Zhang Yi who kept running away.

With a sound of "嗖", the bow and arrow shot straight towards Zhang Yi's back.

Zhang Yi suddenly stopped in her tracks, looked down at the bloody arrow piercing from her back to her chest, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she fell over all of a sudden.

After the leader of the man in black stepped forward to confirm that Zhang Yi was dead, he took off the burden he was carrying, searched carefully, and saw a lot of letters and papers inside.

The man in black just took out the letters and papers without looking at them, then took out a token from his lapel, and handed the letters and papers to a person behind him: "Take care of the corpse, you can go back Return to the Seventh Prince."

Sure enough, the next day, Eunuch Li followed his promise and led a group of court ladies to Chaoyang Palace.

I don't know whose eyeliner is interspersed among these court ladies, Gu Po doesn't care, anyway, they can't be used as confidantes, so they just picked a few that are pleasing to the eye and kept them.

In a short period of time, these maids have not shown their feet, and Gu Po does not know who sent them, but with these blatant eyeliners, she and Gu Lingqing have to be more careful in every move.

After Gu Lingqing saw so many court ladies coming, she ignored it, and ran to the deserted land by herself, and took a few branches to dig the soil there for fun.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li quickly said, "This Chaoyang Palace has been abandoned for many years, and the scenery is indeed not very good. When I order someone to plant some flowers and plants some other day, it won't be so bare and ugly."

"The old slave thanked Manager Li."

"Then Madam Gu is busy first, and our family will go to work on other things first. I will take these maids away first."

After Eunuch Li took those court ladies away, the remaining court ladies all looked at Gu Lingqing curiously.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu showed her majesty: "What are you still doing in a daze? Come with me, and I will distribute your work."

"Yes." The maids responded together and followed Po Gu to another place.

With a smile on his face, Gu Lingqing squatted on the ground and poked the soil with a branch. He looked like a child, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

Long before entering the palace, Gu Po told Gu Lingqing that there is no need to be nervous, and there is no need to worry about getting caught in front of the emperor.

Gu Lingqing didn't understand why Po Gu had such confidence to say this, but Po Po Gu obviously didn't want to talk about it.

The two have been together for more than 20 years. Gu Lingqing has long regarded Po Gu as her own family, and she is unwilling to use the majesty of her master to force her to tell the reason. In the end, she chooses to believe her.

In fact, that day, in the Guangming Palace, Gu Lingqing also had no idea, and she was relieved after Doctor Shang said those words.

Although Gu Po didn't tell Gu Lingqing clearly why Shang Taiyi wanted to help them, but Gu Lingqing knew it well.

I'm afraid, Po Gu had friendship with Imperial Physician Shang before, but she was young and didn't know about it.

As for the kind of friendship, Gu Lingqing didn't think deeply about it, and didn't ask Po Gu, but it might be unusual to be able to help Po Po Gu deceive the emperor's friendship.

After thinking for a while, Gu Lingqing restrained her thoughts, lowered her head and played with the dirt, trying her best to play the role of a foolish child.

"Hey, look who this is? Isn't this our young prince Gu?"

After hearing the voice, Gu Lingqing raised her head to look at the source of the voice, and saw the prince and a man in eunuch uniform walking in.

Gu Lingqing just took a look, then turned her head away, suppressed the strangeness in her expression, put on a happy expression, and continued to play with the mud with the branches.

Gu Zixing saw that Gu Lingqing was squatting on the ground playing with mud and ignoring him, and after looking at the little eunuch next to him, he burst into laughter: "Look at this little fool ignoring others."

After hearing this, Gu Lingqing seemed to have been touched by the pain. She stood up immediately, looked at Gu Zixing angrily, held the branch in her hand tightly with both hands, and shouted at him like a calf: "I just Not a fool!"

Seeing him like that, Gu Zixing let out a louder laugh: "Look! That idiot still doesn't admit that he is an idiot, hahaha..."

Gu Lingqing was out of breath at what he said, and rushed towards him like a calf, put her head on his chest, and gave it a hard push.

Gu Zixing laughed happily, and didn't check for a while, but was knocked to the ground by his bump. The little eunuch next to her didn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze.

Gu Zixing fell to the ground, feeling the pain in her buttocks, and became a little angry from embarrassment: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and help the prince up!"

The little eunuch came back to his senses and hurried forward to help Gu Zixing up.

After Gu Zixing got up, he kicked the little eunuch first: "Useless dog!"

Scared, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Gu Zixing didn't even look at him, but looked at Gu Lingqing, who was jumping up and down, with a gloomy expression.

Gu Lingqing looked at him from the side, jumped up happily on the spot, and clapped her hands: "Oh, I defeated the bad guy, I defeated the bad guy."

Seeing him like this, Gu Zixing became even more angry, walked up to him, stretched out her hand and pushed him.

Gu Lingqing nimbly dodged the force in his hand, but let his hand touch her body. Gu Lingqing was "pushed" by him, fell to the ground hard, and cried loudly.

Gu Po, who was arranging the division of labor for the maids in the courtyard behind the hall, heard Gu Lingqing's loud crying from the front yard, and she cried out inwardly, so she hurried to the front yard.
