Caihong was very quick and quickly went downstairs to tell Gu Zhao quietly.
Gu Zhao looked stern, nodded, and in a low voice arranged for people to surround him from behind. He went upstairs to make preparations.
This person must be captured alive.
Jin Xin saw him coming in, looked at each other, and then quietly left, going downstairs to find the emperor.
Leave the room matters to Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao hid behind the window, waiting for him to come up.
After He Lian Yucheng killed a person downstairs, he found a breakthrough and jumped up immediately. The window was wide open. He didn't know it was a trap. When he came in, he was not prepared when a sword was pressed against his neck. He was stunned. Stop, look to the side, see Gu Zhao, Helian Yucheng is a little desperate.
Did the Celestial Princess betray him?
"I'm sorry, Prince of Tartar." Gu Zhao sneered.
Later, the emperor also came in from outside, looked at Gu Zhao with satisfaction, and then smiled.
"The Seventh Prince of Tartar, am I right in guessing it?" the emperor said with a smile.
Helian Yucheng gritted his teeth and looked at the sword in front of him, "Emperor of Heaven, do you want to start a war between the two countries by doing this?"
"I have to ask you this, right?" The emperor was not angry, but in a good mood.
This guy is a prince, and for the sake of face, the Tatars have to send several cities over to redeem people. He was unkind in the first place, so he must be killed severely.
"It was all a misunderstanding before. Please don't blame the emperor. I never meant to hurt the imperial concubine. I was ignorant at the time. I really was ignorant."
Helian Yucheng was at a disadvantage, so he had no choice but to give in.
"How do you know who she is?" The emperor frowned.
He looked around the Western Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that there were spies around him?
Helian Yucheng laughed dryly, "These days, when you search for me in the west, I just did a little research."
"Oh, since you know, why don't you come to me openly and openly, but you use such despicable methods." The emperor was not angry, and his eyes were full of intimidation.
Helian Yucheng knew that he was in the wrong, and it would be meaningless to say anything more.
Seeing that the other party didn't intend to kill him, and his identity was revealed, he couldn't leave no matter what.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor was not in a hurry and said to Gu Zhao, "Tie him up, take good care of him, and escort him back to the capital."
Send someone to the Tatars to explain the matter and see if the Tatars are willing to cede the city and release the people.
This kid is not taken seriously and has little value, but if the other party's attitude is not good, it is not impossible to send troops to the Tatars and unify them in one fell swoop.
Jin Xin stared at this man. If the emperor hadn't kept him useful, Jin Xin would have gouged out his eyes.
There was something wrong with his eyes.
In front of so many people, he was escorted out, and he still dared to stare at himself like this.
"Get ready. Let's set off for Suzhou. When this trip is over, we will return to the palace." The emperor held her hand and asked her to come back to her senses.
Jin Xin nodded, "Okay."
After waiting for the others to go out, Jin Xin looked at Gu Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Suzhou Tongpan family, how are your arrangements going?"
"I sent someone to arrange for a matchmaker to come to propose marriage to her. This matter is probably already on the way. If the empress is worried, I will find an excuse and go ahead and make arrangements in advance." Gu Zhao said hurriedly.
"It takes less than three days to sail from here to Suzhou. Hurry up and see what happens. It's best to settle her marriage." Jin Xin said.
Gu Zhao nodded and agreed.
It would take a day and a half to go at full speed. Gu Zhao actually arranged for his deputy general to propose marriage. A fifth-grade forward general paired with a sixth-grade general judge's daughter was more than enough.
If the marriage was decided in advance, she would naturally stay at home to be married, and the emperor would definitely not meet her.
The seventh princess was angry and anxious about Helian Yucheng's arrest.
"This idiot can't even seize the opportunity." The seventh princess felt her head hurt.
The emperor had just resigned himself to returning to the capital. From now on, he could only serve Concubine Chen as an ordinary person in the palace. Although she was protected by her mother-in-law, she would not be any different from before.
But after all, she can no longer exercise her princess privileges.
It's really unacceptable.
But now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing that can be done.
She originally expected Helian Yucheng to kill Jiang Jinxin, but even if she was demoted, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
There were people around the seventh princess who were watching her, and she was helpless towards Helian Yucheng.
By the time the letter reached Tatar, it was time for the emperor to return to Beijing after his tour.
Because of these things that happened in the meantime, I only planned to go to Suzhou and then return to Beijing.
After sailing for about half of the west, we finally arrived in Suzhou.
The prefect of Suzhou brought people to greet him.
Arrange to stay in the manor.
Gu Zhao replied, confirming Guan Jiaojiao's marriage, and announced that the family had agreed to marry.
Jin Xin smiled when she heard this, "That's good."
"Does the empress want to go to Yanshan to worship?" Gu Zhao asked.
"I have to go. Let's leave immediately." Jin Xin said.
The emperor will inspect for three days, and Jin Xin will also follow him. Today is only half a day's time for him. The emperor is handling things at the front, so he should deal with his own affairs.
The emperor knew this and asked Jiang Quwu to accompany her. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao also came.
Seeing him here, Jiang Quwu immediately picked up the sacrifice, stepped forward, squeezed in front of Gu Zhao, and said, "General Gu, the emperor is handling political affairs in the front hall. You can escort him. I will accompany the empress to worship." ."
Gu Zhao didn't say much, nodded and left.
Seeing Gu Zhao leave, Jin Xin frowned, "Eldest brother seems to have some opinions on General Gu."
Jiang Quwu smiled and said, "I don't have any objections. I just think that he is a foreign minister and is not suitable to be with the empress."
Jin Xin nodded in agreement.
"Let's go then and come back before dark." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Jiang Quwu walked behind Jin Xin, followed by many people. The brother and sister walked in front. When Jiang Quwu faced Jin Xin alone, he felt quite uncomfortable.
Since his enlightenment, he has been diligent in reading. He first studied in a Confucian school, and then entered an academy, rarely at home.
When An was brought home, no one told him An's identity. He even appeared at home on major festivals a year, mostly studying abroad. Only after a few years did he know that An was his father's. outer room.
But he actually didn't fight for anything for An's family. He just blamed his father for being incompetent and inactive, and his mother for being domineering and denying people a way to survive.
But if he talks too much, he seems to be a callous son.
At most, he could give An's family some convenience and money when he came back.
Jiang Quwu disdains the behavior of his father and mother, but he also disdains An's behavior as an outsider and the fact that he has to follow her back.
But later, when he learned that this concubine was sent to the palace to be a maid, he sympathized with her.
Over the years, Jin Xin has not taken revenge on the Jiang family. Jiang Quwu is very grateful, so as long as she wants to do anything, he is willing to do it.
Now that she knows this is the softest place in her heart, she realizes that her father has harmed more than just a woman.
They are a pair of old parents and a pair of innocent children.
