MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 79

"There's something even more nasty, do you want to hear it?" Gu Yun, not to be outdone, whispered a few words in her ear.

Jiang Libai blushed, pushed Gu Yun away, squinted at her, and said reproachfully, "You bullied me again!"

As he said that, his little hands also clenched into fists, beating Gu Yun's chest lightly.

This kind of strength is nothing to Gu Yun, it can even be said that this is not a beating, but a gentle caress...

She grabbed her little hand and rubbed it gently.

Jiang Libai raised her chin slightly, and snorted softly: "You are not serious, you started teasing me before you finished your business!"

As he spoke, he took Gu Yun's troubled hand and pressed it against her leg, preventing her from moving any further.

"This negotiation should be regarded as a peace negotiation, right?"

Although Jiang Libai felt that it was not a negotiation at all, but she could tell from the attitude of the Prince of Jin that he did not want to make enemies with Yu.

Hmm...Actually, he probably didn't want Gu Yun to be caught in the middle, right?

"Yeah." Gu Yun's thoughts were far away, and his tone was complicated, "It's probably a deal."

According to Gu Xun's attitude, Jin should not send troops to attack again. As for the ten thousand taels of silver... Gu Xun didn't mention it, so he wouldn't ask for it.

…

On the other side of Minzhou City, the people of the Jin Kingdom finally waited for their honorable Crown Prince.

The general who greeted him saw the crown prince returning alone, and looked into the distance again to make sure that the crown prince had not brought King Ping back. He was a little surprised: "Your Highness, His Highness King Ping did not go with you?"

Gu Xun looked at the people around him, and then led several close generals into the big tent.

"You, secretly ask how King Ping is doing in the capital of Yu Kingdom." Gu Xun never sent anyone to visit Gu Yun in Yu Kingdom because he didn't dare to expose his power.

All the news about Gu Yun, he can only learn from their father.

But now that she saw Gu Yun with her own eyes, the life she said was completely different from what her father told him...

Since Gu Yun was not coerced into marrying the Seventh Princess of Yu State, nor was it because Yu State wanted to humiliate Jin State that Gu Yun was allowed to marry as a native of Yu State, then Jin State has no position to attack Yu country.

"Send a letter back to the capital, saying that this Palace has discussed with the Kingdom of Yu, and the condition of 10,000 taels of silver needs to be confirmed again."

The following people are all Gu Xun's confidantes, and they all expressed their puzzlement about his order. They did not bring back His Royal Highness King Ping, and there was another condition... What does His Royal Highness want to do?

Gu Xun's expression did not change, and he said the next order in a low voice: "The rest of the people, return to the capital overnight with this palace."

As soon as this remark came out, several generals were taken aback!

There is no other, because His Royal Highness is ordered by the emperor to come to the border to supervise the army. Without the emperor's edict, you can't leave the border and return to Kyoto at will...

But now His Royal Highness wants to go back overnight, let's listen to what he means... still need to go back quietly?

The people below looked at each other one after another, guessing that His Royal Highness might be moving ahead with the plan.

"Your Highness, the layout of the capital has not been completed yet, so it is not very sure to act like this..." A general stood up, very worried about returning to the capital first.

Gu Xun knew what they were thinking.

But he couldn't wait.

In the past, he held back because he still wanted to bring Xiao Jiu home, so he couldn't expose his power in advance.

But he already knew what Xiao Jiu was thinking, so he didn't have to hide anything anymore.

Moreover, it would be more beneficial for Xiao Jiuhui, who was far away in Yu Kingdom, to act in advance and control the entire court in his own hands.

Xiaojiu has made up her mind, and he can't change it, so that's all he can do for her.

…

When night fell, the carriage drove into Guanzhou City.

Xu Zhengshi and Ming Taishou, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried up to meet them, their faces full of anxiety.

"How? Is Jin willing to withdraw its troops?" Ming Taishou looked at Gu Yun who got off the carriage, and asked him a question that he was very concerned about.

And Xu Zhengshi also hurriedly asked: "The ten thousand taels of silver can be negotiated?"

The two looked at Gu Yun's face carefully, but they couldn't tell anything when they saw that her expression was calm, neither sad nor happy.

"The Prince of Jin means that we need to think about it more carefully." The peace talks have not been signed yet, so Gu Yun is not very sure at this moment.

"This..." Xu Zhengshi and Ming Taishou glanced at each other, and the deep sadness in their eyes couldn't be suppressed.

When they wanted to say more, Gu Yun said quietly: "About two days after tomorrow, there will be definite news."

In this way, the two did not put any pressure on Gu Yun, and after waving their hands, let her go back to the station to rest.

After a busy day, Gu Yun finally had time to rest.

Back in the bedroom, she poured Jiang Libai a cup of hot tea and put it in front of her, and poured another cup for herself.

After drinking two cups of hot tea in a row, the sweet and clear tea entered the mouth, and the dryness in the throat was not so dry.

"When the state of Jin signs the peace talks, my task will be completed, and we can leave for the capital right away."

Jiang Libai was already looking forward to going home.

Both she and Gu Yun have been away from home for more than a month, and I don't know if Xing Xing still remembers them?

At dinner, Mu Zhou delivered today's letter from home.

Jiang Libai hurriedly put down her chopsticks, took the letter and opened it, and looked at the written content with Gu Yun.

"...that parrot actually flew into the palace and found the stars?"

Jiang Libai felt novelty, and then looked down.

"...Xing Xing actually likes it so much that he is energetic when playing with it?"

There was a ripple in Gu Yun's eyes. After reading all the above content, he had a faint guess in his heart.

Chun Xi said that Xing Xing has been sluggish for many days, and he has no interest in playing anything. A few days ago, that parrot didn't know if he missed Xing Xing, but he flew into the palace and played with Xing Xing.

With the parrot around, Xing Xing actually became interested, laughing and making trouble.

"We have to hurry up and go back, otherwise, when Xing Xing gets used to their company, they might not remember us." Jiang Libai now thinks about Xing Xing.

And now that the negotiations with the state of Jin have been finalized, there is nothing wrong with it, and it will be a waste of time for them to stay at the border.

"Okay." Gu Yun and Jiang Libai thought the same, planning to leave in a few days, "We will go back when we get the peace talks documents."

…

The two stayed at the border for a few days, and while Xu Zhengshi and Ming Taishou were waiting more and more anxiously, the peace talks document signed by Jin State was delivered to Gu Yun.

Sure enough, as she expected, the Jin State unconditionally withdrew its troops, and also planned to sign a hundred-year non-aggression treaty with the Yu State.

"One hundred years... mutual non-aggression?!" Seeing this, not only Gu Yun, but even Jiang Libai were stunned.

The Jin envoy who came to deliver the peace talks documents nodded hurriedly, "This is what His Royal Highness the Prince wants."

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows: "What does His Royal Highness mean?"

This is rather strange.

Even if Gu Xun is the crown prince, the Jinhuang should be in charge of the affairs of the court.

Can he decide such a big thing? !

The envoy of the State of Jin looked around, and there was no one else around the courtyard, only a man dressed as a servant stood aside.

Thinking of what His Highness the Crown Prince had told him, he didn't shy away from that servant.

"The emperor no longer cares about the affairs of the court, and has moved to the Biwu Palace... Now His Royal Highness is in power, so he can decide these things..."

After a while, Gu Yun learned from the envoy that Gu Xun had sneaked back to the capital of the Jin Kingdom not long ago, and used thunderous means to get the Emperor Jin to write an edict on delegating power, and then cleaned up the court...

As a result, the current actual ruler of the Jin Kingdom is no longer the Jin Emperor, but the Crown Prince Gu Xun.

This is really surprising!

"His Royal Highness asked the minister to bring you some words."

"Your Highness wants you not to worry about the future. Since you choose to stay in Yu Country, you can follow your heart

I mean, in the future, Jin Kingdom will not conflict with Yu Kingdom again..."

Hearing these words, it is impossible for Gu Yun to not have any ups and downs in his heart.

Although she and Gu Xun are not real relatives, she can't help but appreciate Gu Xun's consideration for the original body.

"There is one more thing." The envoy laughed, and said with the expression that Gu Xun said to him: "I have met my younger brothers and sisters. When you want to come to the Jin Kingdom to play, you can bring your little one with you." Come with my niece, I will also meet her..."

Gu Yun glanced back at Jiang Libai who also opened her eyes wide, and then laughed, "Let's talk about it after the rest of the matter is settled."

Although she didn't expressly agree, the envoy assumed that she had agreed, and left happily.

The dead leaves in the courtyard fell, forming a thick layer on the ground.

Jiang Libai came to Gu Yun's side, with dead leaves creaking under her feet.

"It turned out that the prince knew my identity that day."

"And he actually thinks about you so much. It seems that there can still be family affection in the royal family."

Seeing her expression of emotion, Gu Yun laughed and said, "The love that the imperial concubine Yuan Gui and the emperor have for you is also true family affection."

Jiang Libai put away the faint envy in her heart, and grinned at Gu Yun: "That's true!"

Now that the peace talks documents are in hand, and the Jin army stationed outside Minzhou City has also withdrawn, this matter can be regarded as understood.

Counting the days, the two of them have already left Beijing for two months, and in two more months it will be the New Year's Eve.

They set off now, and they can still arrive in the capital before the year.

So after the two packed up and saluted, without any further delay, they left Guanzhou City with the guards from the Princess Mansion after taking their farewell to Ming Taishou.

At the border in late autumn, the howling wind is a bit colder.

Jiang Libai sat in the thickly padded carriage, hugged the heater, and wrapped the cloak tightly around her body.

She huddled into a ball, revealing a small face outside. The tip of her small nose was already red from the cold, and her face seemed to have no temperature, it was icy cold.

Looking at the leisurely Gu Yun beside her, she felt very unbalanced, "Aren't you cold?"

"It's okay." Gu Yun picked up a few pieces of carbon and put them in the stove by his feet. After fiddled with them a few times, he looked up at the seven princesses wrapped in a ball, with a smile on his lips, "If you're cold, , why not come into my arms?"

Jiang Libai always felt that her smile looked very indecent.

After squinting her eyes and giving her a sideways look, she leaned towards the corner, "There are still people outside, so stop messing around!"

Gu Yun: "..."

Does she look that horny? !

The Seventh Princess is so guarded against her!

... Isn't it just that she didn't let her get off the carriage a few days ago? But it's not like guarding against her like a villain, right?
