The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 616 Protecting the Country Princess (Part 2)

Princess Xinyang believes that she is a ghost!

Princess Xinyang didn't want to see these two little troublemakers, so she sent them back.

She asked Yujin to find Dr. Song and opened a bowl of Bizi Tang.

But on the other hand, Chang Jing came back. He didn't know that something happened to Xuan Ping Hou, so he went back to the Hou's mansion first, and learned about Xuan Ping Hou's whereabouts from Liu Guanshi.

He performed lightness kung fu and came to Bishui Hutong, Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao's side was full, Xuan Pinghou, Huang Fuxian and the former Zhuang Yuheng all lived in Lao Jijiu's side.

Chang Jing spotted Xuan Pinghou's breath all at once.

He jumped in through the window.

The scene inside made him pull out his sword in an instant, he dodged to the side of the bed, put Xuan Pinghou behind him, and was vigilant about the movement around him.

Xuan Ping Hou shook the wrist tied to the head of the bed, and said: "No one, come here first and untie this."

"Oh." Chang Jing raised his long sword and cut the rope. His swordsmanship was precise and did not hurt Xuan Pinghou at all.

He picked up the broken rope and looked at it, and said strangely, "It's just an ordinary rope, why can't you even break this one?"

Xuan Pinghou raised his eyebrows and sighed: "You don't understand."

The body is hollowed out.

Chang Jing frowned, his eyes swept across the mess, and fell on Xuan Pinghou's body full of "scars": "You were beaten? Who did it? I'll kill him!"

This is too miserable!

Chang Jing has been with Xuan Ping Hou for so long and has never seen him hurt so badly!

Xuan Pinghou glanced at Chang Jing, thinking that Chang Jing was still young, he waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay, don't pursue it. By the way, didn't you go after Nangong Li? What about others?"

Chang Jing's face darkened: "I didn't catch him, let him run away."

Xuan Pinghou looked at him in surprise: "Is there anyone else you can't catch?"

It's not that Chang Jing's martial arts is invincible in the world, but Nangong Li is obviously not Chang Jing's opponent, not to mention he has a broken arm, how can he run away when he is injured?

"Someone saved him." Chang Jing hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully, "It's the guardian of the Dark Night Gate."

Xuan Pinghou frowned: "Is that the Dark Night Gate you stayed at before?"

"Um."

Chang Jing nodded.

Xuan Pinghou said: "Since it's a Dharma protector, it's normal if you can't beat it."

I can beat it

Just didn't hit.

Chang Jing muttered secretly in her heart.

Xuan Pinghou didn't know much about the Dark Night Gate. He only heard that it was the most powerful and mysterious killer organization among the six kingdoms. When he met Chang Jing, Chang Jing was being chased by the people from the Dark Night Gate and accidentally fell in love with him. carriage, fell asleep in his carriage.

Xuan Pinghou thought that he was "hunted down" by the people of Anyemen because he offended Anyemen. Chang Jing said that he was a member of Anyemen, but he didn't want to go back to Anyemen.

Seeing that Chang Jing had some skills, he proposed to let Chang Jing follow him, but Chang Jing didn't agree at first, and he found out that Chang Jing liked to play marbles, so he practiced hard for many days, and finally succeeded in winning Chang Jing home.

Until now, Marquis Xuan Ping thought that Chang Jing was just a little traitor of An Yemen.

How did he know that the one he abducted was actually the young master of the Dark Night Gate?

"But he won't live long, I cut him several swords." Chang Jing said.

It was as if he wanted to regain some ground from the little misunderstanding that he couldn't beat the guardian of the Dark Night Gate.

"Okay." Xuan Pinghou smiled, looked at him and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Chang Jing shook her head.

Xuan Pinghou nodded: "If you have nothing to do, go and do something for me."

Chang Jingjun's face darkened, is it too late to pretend to have something to do now?

...

After several months of review and controversy, the imperial decree concerning meritorious persons was finally drawn up.

In the Battle of the Frontier Fortress, Generalissimo Tang Yueshan, Commander-in-Chief Tang Yueshan made meritorious service, and was named Tang Enbo and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Gu Changqing, the son of Marquis of Ding'an, took the lead and took the lead. He led the Gu family army to wipe out the remnants of the previous dynasty, repelled the army of Chen Guo, was appointed as the third-rank general Dingbei, and was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

In addition, Gu Chengfeng, the second son of the Marquis of Ding'an, made meritorious deeds in defending the city. He was awarded the title of Captain of the Sixth Grade Yueqi, and was rewarded with 800 taels of silver.

In addition, several generals who performed outstandingly in the battle also received awards one by one.

Medical Officer Tong and Doctor Song helped put down the plague for their meritorious service, and they granted a plaque to famous doctors in Zhao Kingdom and rewarded them with five hundred taels of silver.

The rest of the accompanying doctors also received their respective rewards.

Naturally, Gu Jiao was no exception. She was not only the main hero in quelling the plague, but also an important general who defended Yuegu City, not to mention that she single-handedly wiped out the five thousand troops of the previous dynasty.

The emperor made her the princess of the country.

Marquis Xuanping and Princess Xinyang were also heroes who guarded Zhao Kingdom. The emperor wanted to either confer Marquis Xuanping as King Xuanping, or promote Princess Xinyang to be the eldest princess of Dingguo.

But not both.

It depends on the choice of the couple.

In addition, Yuan Shoufu submitted a note to the emperor, requesting that a young assistant be appointed in the cabinet.

"Oh?" In the imperial study room, the emperor looked at Yuan Shoufu in surprise, "Yuan Aiqing has never thought of Li Shaofu after staying in the cabinet for so many years, why did she have a whim now?"

Yuan Shoufu arched his hands and said: "The old minister is getting old, and many things are beyond his control. In addition, Mr. Zhuang's affairs have had a profound impact on the cabinet. The cabinet is in turmoil, and its strength and prestige have been greatly weakened. The old minister hopes that someone can revive the cabinet and do better. The land serves His Majesty and the court of Zhao State."

This can be regarded as speaking of the emperor's heart. The old man Zhuang Taifu has brought disaster to half of the cabinet, and the two second assistants are his people. into the hands of these two men.

The emperor said: "Yuan Aiqing's candidate for the young assistant is—"

Yuan Shoufu smiled: "The Imperial Academy's servant, the Ministry of Punishment's order...Xiao Liulang."

The key point is that he is Xiao Heng, how can I get this identity back for him?

You can't bear Xiao Liulang's identity for the rest of your life.

The emperor pondered for a moment: "You let me think about it first."

"Yes." Yuan Shoufu replied, the matter was of great importance, and it was right to think carefully.

"That's right." Just as Yuan Shoufu was about to step down, the emperor stopped him, "I heard that the Yuan family is going to marry the Ding'an Houfu? Is there such a thing?"

Yuan Shoufu said: "There is indeed such a thing, Gu Changqing and Yuan Baolin, the granddaughter of the veteran."

The emperor was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was appropriate: "Changqing and Baolin... are a match made in heaven."

Mentioning this, Yuan Shoufu smiled helplessly: "Actually, the two children themselves agreed."

The misunderstanding that Yuan Baolin was not pregnant has long been dispelled. To be honest, Yuan Shoufu felt that the two of them were useless, and they didn't have much enthusiasm for each other. They suddenly agreed one day.

It seemed like a good deal, but it was hard for Yuan Shoufu to refuse.

...

Qin Tianjian's auspicious date has been calculated, and it will be the ninth day of March.

Gu Houye received the news that Empress Dowager Zhuang would personally come to inspect the mansion, he got up before dawn, tidied up, and waited at the gate of the new mansion neatly dressed.

He is very excited.

Because I want to see the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

You know, there are not many courts with his official position, let alone the queen mother who is in power.

How did he know that he had not only seen it, but also ridiculed it.

The second reason for his excitement was to finally meet the mysterious owner of this mansion.

This mansion was built according to the specifications of a princess' mansion. At first he thought it was built for Zhuang Yuexi, and later he thought it was built for Princess Ning'an who had returned from the frontier.

But the Zhuang family was exiled, and Princess Ning'an is a fake, so who is the owner of this mansion?

It can't be that little remnant Huang Fuxian, right?

No, there was no news of Huangfu Xian's return to Beijing in the early stages of construction.

"Who on earth is it?"

Gu Houye was so curious that his heart was scratching like a cat's paw.

"Master Hou!" Huang Zhong rushed over, "The empress dowager's guard of honor is here!"

"Get ready to welcome you!" Master Gu straightened the black gauze hat on his head, brushed off his wide sleeves, and bowed his hands reverently together with all the officials and attendants present.

The empress dowager's guard of honor stopped in front of the majestic and splendid mansion.

Master Gu Hou said loudly: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old!"

Everyone followed suit and saluted: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old!"

Eunuch Qin got out of the carriage first and opened the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang got out of the carriage with a girl in Tsing Yi.

Gu Houye's eyes fell on the girl's blue skirt and white embroidered shoes, and he thought to himself, is this the owner of the mansion?

Sure enough, she has an extraordinary bearing, and her walk is more heroic and noble than ordinary women.

"Come and see your princess mansion." Queen Mother Zhuang said.

"Okay." The girl agreed.

Master Gu frowned.

Why does Mao's voice sound familiar?

Master Gu boldly raised his head, glanced at the girl, and was so shocked that he froze on the spot!

What is this stinky girl!

He looked at the Queen Mother again——

The next second, he knelt down with a plop——

Not frightened, but frightened.

Isn't this the old lady in that girl's family?

He met him in the countryside, and he felt familiar at the time, but he and the queen mother had met several times in an informal way, so he didn't dare to recognize her.

No one can recognize this!

How could the queen mother... be a country foodie old lady?

Did he say anything disrespectful to the old lady... er no, the Queen Mother?

It's over, it's over, I'm so nervous, I can't remember it at all!

Master Gu Hou wanted to die, so what did this girl do? How could you hide the queen mother in your own home? Why don't you give him a squeak?

Tell him will he die!

You know how cheating you are every day!

Master Gu covered his heart, he felt that he was going to have a heart attack.

"This girl is here to beat me...she is here to kill me..."

Master Gu felt that he was almost certain to die, he gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes as if death was at home.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Zhuang took Gu Jiao into the mansion without even looking at him.

Lord Gu: "..."

"Like it?"

In the gazebo, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked Gu Jiao.

"I like it." Gu Jiao said seriously.

I really like it. There are houses built according to the scale of Bishui Hutong, and there are also courtyards that are reproduced step by step according to the medical hall. In addition, there are pavilions, pavilions, corridors, library pavilions, exercise rooms, and pastures for horseback riding and archery.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "The Bishui Hutong will soon be overwhelmed, so move here sometime."

"I..." Gu Jiao opened her mouth.

Empress Dowager Zhuang took a panoramic view of her expression and asked, "What's the matter? Can't bear it?"

Gu Jiao covered her heart.

Is this just reluctance?

When she left the village, Gu Jiao didn't even feel this way.

She seems to be... A little bit able to perceive the complex emotions that she could not perceive before.

Empress Dowager Zhuang handed over the house deed to her: "Don't worry, move when you want to."

"Okay." Gu Jiao agreed.

The two wandered around the house and then went back in a carriage.

In the car, Gu Jiao's heart suddenly twitched.

She covered her heart and frowned.

Empress Dowager Zhuang noticed her strangeness and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiao pointed to her heart: "It hurts."

Empress Dowager Zhuang asked strangely: "You don't have a heart disease, how can you be in pain?"

Gu Jiao pondered for a moment, her eyes narrowed: "It's not me, it's Ah Yan."

Gu Yan had a heart attack.

The attack happened without warning, the master was giving a lecture, suddenly the students below shouted, the master looked up and saw Gu Yan fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaoshun immediately rushed up, took out the medicine in his purse and fed him.

Gu Yan's heart disease has not had a serious attack for half a year, and occasionally feels uncomfortable, and it will be effective immediately after eating one.

But this time... it doesn't seem to work very well.

Gu Jiao quickly ran back to Bishui Hutong.

Yao shi had already fainted from crying.

Gu Xiaoshun rushed out from the main room: "Sister! Sister, you are back! Gu Yan, he—"

Gu Jiao stared and said, "Where is he?"

Gu Xiaoshun hurriedly said, "In your room!"

Gu Jiao entered the east room.

Gu Yan's condition was very bad, and he went into cardiac arrest again.

Everything seemed to go back to the time when the two first met in the hot spring villa. He was also like this, and he might not be able to save him at any time.

Gu Jiao took out epinephrine and normal saline from the small medicine box.

One stitch down, two stitches down, three stitches down...

It took a full four injections before Gu Yan's heartbeat resumed.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Jiao, his empty and dim eyes seemed to have light in an instant: "Sister."

He has long been called Jiaojiao by Xiao Qingkong, and he will retreat only when he is weak to a certain extent.

Gu Jiao took off her gloves and touched his forehead: "I'm here."

"You hug me," he said.

Gu Jiao gently hugged him into her arms.

Gu Yan breathed her breath, closed her eyes reassuringly, and said weakly: "You are here, I am not afraid. I am leaving. When I leave, you will accompany me. I want you to send me away."
