MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 75

Inside the huge Qianming Hall, it was extremely cold.

But Emperor Yu felt that these were nothing compared to the icy cold all over his body.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself!" Eunuch Sun helped him sit up slowly, persuading him with a sad face.

Emperor Yu's chest was heaving up and down, and the center of his brows was twisted into a twist. He opened General Zhao's secret letter again and read it carefully.

It turned out that the Jin State sent troops under the banner of Yu State's brazenness, changing the household registration information for the ninth prince of Jin State, and forcing him to stay in Yu State as his son-in-law.

The Ninth Prince of Jin, also known as Gu Yun.

"Say I'm shameless?!" Emperor Yu was so angry that he almost fainted again, he was already amazed at the Jin emperor's ability to turn black and white.

After Mingming Emperor Jin sent Gu Yun over as a hostage, he never asked a word again. Even when he chose Gu Yun as Jianing's son-in-law, he specially wrote a letter to Jin to inform them of this.

But Emperor Jin didn't care at all, he didn't even reply to a letter!

Later, after Gu Yun asked him to grant her the identity of a Yu countryman, he also sent someone to Jin country to explain the matter, but at that time, the Jin emperor didn't care about it!

It turned out to be waiting for him here!

Using this matter to make trouble, you can "righteously" send troops, it's really shameless!

But there was nothing he could do to get angry again, so Emperor Yu could only put his anger aside, and summoned several important court officials overnight to discuss the matter.

Several ministers quarreled in Qianming Hall all night, and finally came up with a solution that was not a countermeasure.

"...Yun and Jin sent troops at the same time. They must have conspired before that. No matter why they became an alliance, they must be inseparable from the word 'benefit'."

"But the state of Jin is still shameless, knowing that it takes the seventh son-in-law as a raft to become famous..."

"Since they can use the name of the seventh son-in-law, we can also use the name of the seventh son-in-law."

After hearing these words, Emperor Yu's face softened a lot.

"Then what Yi Aiqing means is to use the name of King Ping of Jin to negotiate peace with the State of Jin?"

The gray-haired cabinet bachelor nodded and continued: "Once there is a war, the people will suffer after all. And the northwest has already lost three cities to the Yun Kingdom, so...we can no longer fight with the Jin Kingdom..."

Fighting a war requires not only manpower, but also material resources. The number of soldiers stationed at the border is already reduced by half, and the supply of material resources is also temporarily insufficient. Therefore, it is best not to fight this battle with Jin.

In the middle of the night, under the persuasion of several important ministers, Emperor Yu had an idea in his mind.

After selecting a general to go to the northwest to fight the enemy, he waved to Eunuch Sun who was waiting by the side.

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Sun bent over and approached Emperor Yu.

After hearing Emperor Yu's whispered instructions, he took the order with a serious face.

…

There is no bright moonlight tonight, and in the thick night, everything is quiet.

In the main courtyard of Seventh Princess Mansion, Gu Yun and Jiang Libai who were still asleep were awakened by the knock on the door.

"I'm going to see what happened." Jiang Libai sat up in a daze, and let Gu Yun pick up the clothes at the end of the bed and put them on for her, then she pressed Gu Yun's arm and slowly got up.

Covering the gauze curtain on the bed, she gradually woke up.

After leaving the inner room, she opened the door of the main courtyard.

The night outside the house has not dissipated, and everything around seems to be still sleeping, so quiet that only the whistling wind can be heard.

Chunxi at the door saw the door open, and hurriedly stepped aside, revealing the person behind her, "Princess, Eunuch Sun is here."

Chunxi's voice was so soft that the wind blew it, and she almost couldn't hear it clearly.

But Jiang Libai, who had just woken up, could hear clearly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the man in the black veiled hat, very surprised: "Eunuch Sun?"

The man unbuttoned his veil, his face was full of dimples, and his eyes were gentle. It was Eunuch Sun, the chief executive who was ordered to come.

"I don't know if Eunuch Sun is going out of the palace late at night, but what's the matter with Father?"

Jiang Libai's heart skipped a beat, and worries began to spread in her heart.

Eunuch Sun didn't give a shit, he glanced at the main courtyard behind Jiang Libai, and said in a low voice: "The emperor ordered our family to come to see the son-in-law."

Hearing this, Jiang Libai's heart beat faster.

Eunuch Sun didn't come here to find her, but for Gu Yun? !

Could it be that the father has discovered that Gu Yun is not poisoned and has been pretending to be sick? ? ?

"But Gu Yun has never been sober..." Jiang Libai tested Eunuch Sun's attitude, but found that he didn't seem to care.

After she pursed her lips, she didn't stop her, and ordered Chunxi to take Eunuch Sun to the study in the main courtyard first.

Looking at Eunuch Sun's back, Jiang Libai felt that there was something beyond her understanding.

She turned back to the room and saw that Gu Yun was already fully dressed and sitting by the bed, she walked up quickly, "Did you hear that?"

Gu Yun held her hand, hummed lightly, "The emperor came to look for me overnight, probably he already knew that I was not poisoned."

"I'm worried..." Jiang Libai's hands and feet were cold, and she was very worried.

It's an eventful time now, and her father didn't know what he wanted to do when he came to look for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun shook her head at her, and comforted her with a smile: "Probably because of Aiwujiwu, the emperor treats me very well, so you don't have to worry too much. I will go to see Eunuch Sun first, and if there is anything, I will be with you Negotiated."

In this way, Jiang Libai could only suppress the deep anxiety in his heart, and left the room with Gu Yun.

However, when entering the study, Eunuch Sun looked at Jiang Libai hesitantly, which made her understand what Eunuch Sun meant.

Immediately, her face became a little ugly, she lowered her voice and asked: "I don't know what is going on, but you still keep tabs on me?"

Eunuch Sun had no choice but to lower his head, and replied truthfully: "What the emperor means is that, until it is confirmed, only the son-in-law will know."

Having said that, after Jiang Libai closed her eyes, she walked to the door with a flick of her sleeves.

The moment she opened the door, she turned her head to look at Gu Yun, with unresolved sadness in her eyes.

Obsessed by the scorching gaze, Gu Yun raised his head and raised his lips slightly towards her. His extremely light smile, like the bright starlight in the sky, fell on Jiang Libai's heart, dispelling her little melancholy.

As the door was closed, only Gu Yun and Eunuch Sun were left in the room.

After a moment of silence, Eunuch Sun finally spoke, "Is the son-in-law feeling better?"

Gu Yun didn't want to spend too much time with Eunuch Sun here, and such an opening sentence of greetings was not suitable for them.

"Since the emperor has sent the father-in-law to look for me, I think the father-in-law should also know about my physical condition." Gu Yun raised his hand, motioned for Eunuch Sun to sit down and said, he also sat behind the desk and tapped my fingertips When she was at the table, she lowered her voice: "So if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Seeing that Gu Yun was so straightforward, Eunuch Sun stopped going around and explained exactly what Emperor Yu ordered him to do.

"...Now Yu and Jin are considered married, so the emperor doesn't want to conflict with Jin. Otherwise, in addition to the suffering of the people on the border, it won't be easy for you to be caught in the middle..."

"...The meaning of the emperor is that if you want to have peace talks with Jin, you are the best candidate for the peace talks envoy."

Listening to Eunuch Sun rambling on about these things, Gu Yun understood what Emperor Yu meant.

Peace envoy?

If she can really negotiate peace, then she is a meritorious envoy.

If peace cannot be negotiated in the end, then she will be a hostage who can be used to threaten Jin.

It has to be said that Emperor Yu's method might really work for Jin.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and Gu Yun was slightly embarrassed, not knowing whether she should feel sorry for the original body or herself who had already taken the place of the original body.

Whether it is Jin or Yu, it does not belong to it.

Gu Yun sighed softly in her heart. Fortunately, she came here through time travel, so she didn't care about the attitudes of these two countries.

For her, the place where the Seventh Princess is

her home.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the house became a little weird.

Eunuch Sun saw that the seventh son-in-law's eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, and he didn't answer all the time, worried that she would not accept this arrangement.

"I don't know if the son-in-law still remembers when he was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment, why he wasn't poisoned?" Eunuch Sun decided to move the seventh son-in-law with affection.

When Gu Yun heard this, his eyes became dark in an instant.

She wasn't poisoned, but was it because she felt something was wrong after taking those few mouthfuls of food, so she didn't use it anymore?

Listening to Eunuch Sun's words, is there something else in it that she doesn't know?

"Because of Princess Jianing, the emperor also took special care of you, the son-in-law. But before someone accused you of colluding with Jin and foreign countries, so even if the emperor didn't believe this, he still had to hand you over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali. Temple, so as to block the mouths of Youyou..."

"The emperor knew that you were locked in a dark prison, and sent the imperial guards to protect you. You were poisoned that day, and it was the imperial guards who replaced the poisoned food in advance to save your life. ..."

"So the food you ate that day was actually just mixed with a little special sweat medicine to confuse other people's eyes..."

After Eunuch Sun finished speaking, he hoped that the seventh son-in-law would agree to go to the border for peace talks in view of the fact that the emperor treated her so sincerely, so as to solve the urgent need of Yu Kingdom.

Gu Yun waited for a long time before reacting.

It turns out that the food that day was not mixed with poison?

No wonder she didn't feel any discomfort after taking two mouthfuls.

Emperor Yu... What exactly does he want to do?

Or rather, what does he know?

But for what reason, he has been in such a passive state?

Even protecting her had to be carried out in secret, and the people in the Criminal Department didn't even know that their emperor had secretly replaced the guards guarding outside...

What a surprise.

Gu Yun didn't think about it any further.

Because the most important thing now is to go to the border for peace talks... She thinks that this matter still needs to be discussed with Princess Seven before making a decision.

Although, she already had an answer in her heart.

"Eunuch Sun, can you let me think about it?" Gu Yun stood up, as if seeing off the guests, "I will give an answer tomorrow morning."

Seeing this, Eunuch Sun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts what the final answer would be.

"That way, our family won't bother you much." Eunuch Sun came and left quietly, leaving the rest of the time for the couple who were about to say goodbye.

…

Walking out of the study, the cold wind blows on the face, and the chill hits the whole body.

Gu Yun raised his head and glanced at the starless night sky, feeling an unspeakable sense of loss welling up in his heart.

There seems to be nothing good in this world, and there is no place for her anywhere.

If it weren't for the Seventh Princess and the stars, she wondered if she would try to return to the interstellar...

Going back to the bedroom under the moonlight, the candlelight was cast from the window pasted with Ming paper. The thin figure of the Seventh Princess was a little blurry, and she could only vaguely see that she was probably dozing off with her head on one hand?

Gu Yun pursed her lips. At this moment, she felt that the sadness that had risen in her heart just now seemed to have disappeared.

In fact, she owns the whole world.

The Seventh Princess is her only thought in this world.

The door creaked and was pushed open, and Gu Yun stepped into the room.

The girl who was drowsy just now has woken up, and is struggling to look at her with confused eyes.

She walked over, bent down, put her arms around her slender waist, and hugged her, "Why don't you go to bed and sleep?"

The woman's Qingyue voice rang in her ears and fell into Jiang Libai's heart, like a trickling stream flowing gently, with some waves.

She naturally put her arms around Gu Yun's neck, leaned her head on her not-so-broad shoulders, and whispered softly like a kitten: "I'm waiting for you, sister..."

The corners of Gu Yun's mouth raised, she lowered her head and kissed

The girl's fair and tender face, "Then you should wear some clothes. It's cold at night, so be careful if you catch the cold."

When she came to the bed, she untied Jiang Libai's clothes, and put her in the soft quilt.

After blowing out the candles in the house, she took off her robe and lay beside Jiang Libai.

The person who was already lying down walked over, her little hands tightly grasping her arms.

"Sister Gu, what did Eunuch Sun tell you just now?" Jiang Libai leaned on Gu Yun's shoulder and asked softly with her eyes closed.

In the darkness, Gu Yun couldn't see Princess Seven's face clearly.

She turned sideways, raised her hand to caress her soft face, and replied in a low voice: "Right now, the Kingdom of Yun and the Kingdom of Jin are sending troops together, and it is difficult for the Kingdom of Yu to compete. What the Emperor means is that he wants to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin..."

Before Gu Yun finished speaking, Jiang Libai opened his eyes in the night.

Her tone also became a little hasty: "Father doesn't want you to go to the border to have peace talks with Jin, does he?!"

As a princess of the royal family, Jiang Libai knew what the person sitting on the throne was thinking even though she didn't like the disputes and attitudes of the royal family.

Being able to exchange for the stability of the world with the smallest sacrifice is what every Ninth Five-Year Lord would choose to do.

But she didn't expect that her father wanted to sacrifice Gu Yun this time.

Peace talks?

How could it be so simple?

If Gu Yunruo really went to the border, he was a hostage used to threaten Jin.

If Jin State cares about this hostage, everything will be fine.

But if the state of Jin doesn't care about this hostage, then Gu Yun...

Jiang Libai's heart was pounding non-stop, she felt very powerless.

She knew what her and Gu Yun's choice was in the end, but she couldn't protect her, and she couldn't prevent her from taking risks.

With misty eyes, she bit her lip, trying to suppress her crying.

Gu Yun heard the girl whimpering softly, she didn't speak, and hugged her into his arms.

No one said the words "Can I not go?"

Because Jiang Libai is not only Gu Yun's wife, she is also the princess of Yu Kingdom.

It is her subjects who are suffering now.

She couldn't selfishly hide Gu because of her personal relationship, and she was not allowed to go to the border for peace talks, and she was not allowed to meet those who were relatives to her in Jin State.

No matter what position you are in, you must have what kind of concerns.

At this moment, Jiang Libai loathed her identity even more.

If she was just an ordinary person, wouldn't she have to worry about those people at the border, and could pull Gu Yun along to ignore these things?

But she is not.

The person in his arms cried sadly, and Gu Yun felt uncomfortable.

She was reluctant to part with the Seventh Princess, but she took Yuanshen's place, and now Yuanshen needs to meet the people of Jin, so she had to go.

It is one thing to negotiate peace with Jin, but she still wants to draw a clear line between Yuan Shen and Jin.

This is what the original body has always wanted to do after giving up.

"Princess, it's just a peace talk, I'll be fine."

The night magnified the tenderness of the two people's hearts, and Gu Yun's voice added a bit of tenderness and love: "I think of you in my heart, and I will definitely come back."

Hearing this, Jiang Libai burst into tears suddenly, and the tears could not be stopped.

After a long time, she wiped away the tears from her eyes, sobbing sadly: "Tomorrow is my birthday, can you... can you accompany me after my birthday?"

"It's natural." Gu Yun stretched out a hand under the faint moonlight, and slowly stroked the girl's delicate cheek with his fingertips, wiping away the tears that rolled down her face, "This is the first time I've spent with you." A birthday."

In the future, I will accompany you on your second, third, and many, many birthdays...

In the dim moonlight, Jiang Libai understood the meaning in Gu Yun's eyes.

She felt sour in her heart, and after biting her lip, she hugged Gu Yun's neck and sent her burning lips up.

Lips and teeth meet, passionate like fire.

All the words melted in the touch of the tip of the tongue at this moment, all the anxiety and

Sadness has been left behind, it seems that only the lover's caress can ease each other's emotions...

…

In the early morning of the second day, after Gu Yun and Jiang Libai got up, they sent people into the palace and handed in the news that Gu Yun had agreed.

As the news of Seventh Son-in-law's recovery spread, everyone in Beijing also learned that she was about to go to the border for peace talks with Jin.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Gu Yun and Jiang Libai closed the door of the main courtyard, and celebrated Jiang Libai's 19th birthday without the interruption of other people.

Due to the delay of many things, Gu Yun did not finish the ring.

Fortunately, the plum blossom hosta is ready.

After inserting the hosta into Jiang Libai's bun, she kissed her forehead and was ready to leave for the border.

The border between Yu State and Jin State is far away, and it takes more than half a month to get there by riding a horse.

What Emperor Yu meant was to let Gu Yun go as soon as possible.

For this peace talk, Gu Yun is the deputy envoy, and there is another envoy who will lead 500 people to the border.

Now the rest of the people were already waiting in the suburbs of Beijing, and Gu Yun got into the carriage and left Seventh Princess' Mansion.

It seems that the streets have not been affected by the flames of war and are still very lively.

Gu Yun lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at it lightly, then looked away.

When she came to the outskirts of Beijing, she got out of the carriage and met the envoy.

After a few brief explanations, the group was ready to set off.

Gu Yun's expression was calm, and he came to his carriage, but when he boarded the carriage, he stopped suddenly.

Then she turned her head to look sideways, and the boy driving the car just happened to raise her head, without the cover of the hood, Gu Yun could see her face clearly.

Under the man's tangled and uneasy gaze, Gu Yun's breathing quickened instantly, "Princess?!"

Jiang Libai, who was dressed as a servant, hurriedly lowered the veiled cap on her head again, not daring to look at Gu Yun again.

Gu Yun's eyebrows twitched, and she came to her, blocking the probing eyes of others behind her.

"How did you come?!"

Having been recognized, Jiang Libai simply didn't hide it, raised his chin towards Gu Yun, and pretended to be calm and said: "I want to go to the border with you!"

Hearing this, Gu Yun's head grew bigger.

In the bitter cold place at the border, the seventh princess has been delicate and delicate since she was a child, and she may not be able to withstand the wind and sun there.

And this peace talks, I don't know how many dangers are waiting for her on the road ahead, how dare she let the seventh princess take risks? !

But Jiang Libai's attitude was very firm. Seeing that Gu Yun was frowning tightly, she stretched out her little hand, pulled her sleeve and shook it: "You let me go with you, okay?"

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll always be by your side, okay?"
