Chapter 166

After Gu Qingzhu comforted Yun, he waited for Qi Xuan to come back in the room. It was not until the evening that Qi Xuan frowned and returned. Gu Qingzhu put down the medical book and greeted him:

"What the emperor said, but it's true?"

Gu Qingzhu was naturally worried about Qi Zhengyang and didn't want something to happen to him.

Qi Xuan sighed deeply and nodded, "I was ambushed and I was stabbed six times in my chest and abdomen."

Gu Qingzhu is a doctor, so of course she knows what the concept of six stabbings in her chest and abdomen is, and it can be said that she is in danger.

"Qingzhu, I'm going to Mobei."

Qi Xuan stood by the round table, straightened his back, and held his fist on the table with one hand. The veins on the back of his hands burst out. Gu Qingzhu thought he would say this, so she didn't think it was too strange and pondered for a moment:

"Will the mother agree?"

Her husband has been seriously injured in Mobei, and now his son is going to go. Yun's family doesn't know that Qi Xuan has been in Mobei for five years and is invincible, so it is very likely that he will not agree to Qi Xuan's proposal.

Qi Xuan also thought of this question: "No matter what, I have to go. We both know that things should not develop like this. Since we are back, we must do our best to protect the safety of those around us."

Gu Qingzhu understood the truth and pursed her lips and sighed: "Since you have thought about it, when will we set off?"

Qi Xuan was stunned: "We?"

Gu Qingzhu nodded calmly: "Yes, I want to go too. I am also familiar with Mobei and will not cause you a lot of trouble."

"It's not a problem that causes trouble, why do you want to go?" Qi Xuan asked seriously.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and then Gu Qingzhu said softly: "Because my father is there, I'm not at ease." Gu Qingzhu said this, and in fact, there was a sentence later, "I'm not at ease with you at the same time."

Qi Xuan reached out and hugged Gu Qingzhu into his arms. Even if Gu Qingzhu didn't say it, he seemed to understand what she meant. This was the first time when Qi Xuan came into contact with Gu Qingzhu, Gu Qingzhu did not feel resisted. He stood there and let himself be hugged by him. At that moment, it seemed as if time was still, and both hearts were silent. The past was temporarily put aside. Gu Qingzhu was buried in Qi Xuan's chest, hard and steady. The place she once longed for had hurt her a lot.

"Don't worry, I will come back safely and bring my father back Ping'an." Qi Xuan held Gu Qingzhu and said above her head.

Gu Qingzhu looked up at him: "Don't you take me there?"

Qi Xuan shook his head, Gu Qingzhu was about to struggle out of his arms, but was surrounded by Qi Xuan's insight: "Be good, just wait for me in the capital. I used to be useless and failed to protect you. I wanted you to suffer in Mobei. I have already sworn that I will never let you suffer any more in this life."

Gu Qingzhu stared at Qi Xuan, was silent for a while, and spoke out:

"I don't think it's a pain in Mobei. Mobei is a redemption for me. If it weren't for those five years, I wouldn't understand the value of life, and I'm still immersed in self-pity and can't extricate myself. I want to go, but I'm not afraid."

Qi Xuan was still hesitant, and Gu Qingzhu reached out to hold Qi Xuan and said seriously and cautiously: "Qi Xuan, we came back from Mobei. If we want to go back, we should be together. I don't want to stay alone in the capital."

Both of them seemed to have been picked up from the King of Hell. Although these few years have passed, everything is still a bit untrue. She hated Qi Xuan and wanted him to die. But when things come to an end, if she makes her choose again, she still doesn't want to live alone.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her love for Qi Xuan had been hidden but never disappeared.

Qi Xuan was persuaded by Gu Qingzhu. After the two made a decision, they went to find Yu. Yu was more rational than Yun, and the success rate of what they said to her would be much higher, although it was not easy.

"You two are going?" Yu frowned and asked. He looked at Gu Qingzhu: "Girl Qingzhu, Mobei is a bitter and cold place, not as good as a capital, but also a battlefield. How can you, a woman, go?"

Gu Qingzhu was not willing to be outdone: "I heard that when the old marquis went to the battlefield, the old lady also accompanied her several times, and her mood should be the same as me at this time. The husband and wife are one, and they should advance and retreat together. I am not at ease with my father, but I am not at ease with Qi Xuan. So I must go on this trip. Even if Qi Xuan doesn't take me there, I will secretly follow him by myself."

If he said this, his attitude was very firm. Although Yu still disagreed, he had no words to refute. After frowning for a long time, he said, "When will you leave? Did your mother say it?"

Qi Xuan shook his head: "My mother doesn't make sense. So we plan to leave in the middle of the night today. For all the things in the mansion, grandmother should be more careful. My mother listens to you, please persuade her more. The grandson promises to bring my father back safely."

Yu had long expected that they would not go to Yun's family. If Yun's family agreed, they would not have come to him.

After staring at the two of them for a moment, Yu turned around and went to the inner room. Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan looked at each other, but they didn't know what Yu was doing. After a while, Yu came back and took out a half-arm box from the inner room and put it on the table to open it. There was a pure black dagger inlaid with gems inlaid in the box. Yu took out the dagger and sent it to Gu Qingzhu. Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, Gu Qingzhu knew that this thing was an extraordinary thing. He took it with both hands respectfully, and only heard Yu pondering:

"This dagger was given to me when I went to the battlefield with the old marquis. I used this dagger to kill several enemies. It was the most thrilling period of my life, but it is also the most unforgettable. Today I will give this dagger to you."

Gu Qingzhu stroked the dagger's sheath and hesitated: "I can't accept such a meaningful dagger."

Yu smiled: "What is the meaning? Isn't it more meaningful to put it in your hand than to put it in a box?"

Qi Xuan said from the side: "Please take it, this is the self-defense weapon given to you by my grandmother."

"Yes, thank you grandma."

Gu Qingzhu's 'grandmother' made Yu' lit up and he suddenly laughed: "To be honest, I don't like it very much when you just entered the door, but there is an old saying that goes, "The road is far away and horsepower shows people's hearts over time. You are destined to be the daughter-in-law of our Qi family. You two will go. When you return triumphantly, be careful."

With Yu's permission, Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan returned to Canglanju to pack up their things and lay down on the bed with Yi for a while. When the first rooster crowed, before dawn, the two of them quietly slipped out of the wall.

Gu Qingzhu changed into men's clothes, with black hair tied up behind her head, and the two rode together and headed straight to the city gate.

Qi Xuan took out the order, and the city gate opened for them, rode his horse and rushed to the north of Mobei.

This was Gu Qingzhu's second time to go to Mobei, but the last time was a defeat and was escorted away. At that time, all hope was destroyed and all thoughts were gone. What was waiting for them in front was helplessness and slimness. This time, they were facing the rising sun and with hope.

****

Yun didn't fall asleep all night, thinking that the Marquis' life and death were uncertain in Mobei, and he couldn't even eat breakfast.

Wanting to find someone to talk, he asked his maid to invite Gu Qingzhu over. At some point, Yun actually developed a dependence on his daughter-in-law. Her calmness invisibly gave Yun a considerable encouragement.

The maid went to invite someone, and the servants of Canglanju had just gotten up, cleaning, boiling water, and scrubbing. The maid found the red canal and said, "I'm sorry, my sister will send a message, and the lady asks the prince's wife to go for dinner together."

Hongqu glanced at the closed dormitory door: "The prince and the prince's wife have not yet gotten up, my sister is waiting for me, I'll go and ask."

Hongqu came to the door, reached out and knocked twice. Before he could speak, the door opened. It turned out that the door was not bolted. Hongqu carefully stretched his head and glanced a few times, then listened in a slant, and tried to shout: "Criminal, Madam, Madam? Madam, are you awake? I'm in."

There was no sound in the room. Hongqu took a step inside with courage. He felt that today's room was different from usual. Not only did there be no sound, but even the windows on all sides of the room were wide open. He wondered, why did the prince and the prince's wife not even close the windows when they were sleeping? Are you not afraid of catching a cold?

When she arrived outside the screen, she was about to shout, but when she was standing, she could see the mirror of the dressing table. The bed was reflected in the mirror, and the bed was empty, and there was no one there. Hongqu hurriedly entered the bed, looking at it, and seeing that the bed didn't look like it had been slept, there was no one to look for it in the inner room.

He went out in confusion and said to the maid, "The prince and the prince's wife don't know where they went early in the morning, and there is no one in the room."

The maid went back to report her life in surprise, and Yun felt strange: "Why is there no one? Where did you go early in the morning? Go to the doorman to ask."

The maid was about to go down when she heard the woman outside sending a message, saying, "The old lady is here."

Yun was shocked and stood up to greet him.

Yu rarely stepped into the main courtyard, followed Madam Gui next to him. After coming in, he raised his hand to Yun who was bowing and said directly:

"No need to look for them, they're gone."

Yun was puzzled: "What does mother mean? Where did they go?"

Yu sat in front of the dining table, picked up the flower roll, took a bite, and replied indescribably: "Mobei."

Yun was shocked and fell on a chair, covering his lips with his hands, afraid that he would scream, so he calmed down and asked: "How did they go to Mobei? What should we do? Mobei is a battlefield, what are their two children doing? It's really nonsense, people come, people come. Go and chase the prince and the prince's wife..."

Before Yun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu: "Stop chasing, they are now guessing that they have already reached outside the Shili Pavilion and will not be able to catch up if they go to the official road."

Yu's calm tone, how could Yun's family not see this? Yu knew about it in advance, sat next to Yu's side and asked questions with concern:

"Mother knew they were going? Why didn't she stop him? The Marquis suffered a loss in Mobei. If their two children go, will they still have the life to come back?"

Yu asked the maid and mother to prepare the dishes and chopsticks for Yun to put them in front of her, and personally served a bowl of porridge for Yun, saying, "Xuan'er is no longer a child. Zhengyang is in danger in Mobei. If Xuan'er ignores her and sits in the position of prince in the capital, it would seem that my Qi family has no father-son relationship. He has followed Zhengyang to fight the Western Regions before. Zhengyang came back and told me that Xuan'er is a general, and this time is also an opportunity. Let him go."
