As the reading of the imperial edict and oral edict ended, Gu Yuanzheng's eyes widened and he stood motionless like a dumbfounded chicken.
Behind him, the Hu mother and daughter were stunned in place like scorched wood.
Gu Shuyan came back to her senses and looked in the direction of Gu Shufei with resentment. If Gu Shufei turned around at this moment, he would definitely see that ugly face.
"What happened in the palace?"
Gu Shufei had known for a long time that the emperor was a man who was unwilling to do anything for his own benefit, so why did he suddenly make her a princess?
Moreover, according to the imperial edict, there is neither a fiefdom nor a settlement, and it seems to be just an empty title.
"It's because of Miao territory."
Lu Shiyan's voice was a little low and he looked at Gu Shufei calmly.
"So the Miao border is unwilling to give in, and Huayang has a decent reputation for praying for the people, so the emperor simply makes a new princess and sends it to the Miao border?"
Seeing that Gu Shufei had guessed everything with just one reminder, Lu Shiyan sighed.
"You are a smart man."
"So the emperor..." He doesn't even want to show his face?
He had clearly said in front of the civil and military officials of the court that he would be engaged to the person in front of him, but now he went back on his word.
As if he knew what Gu Shufei was going to say, Lu Shiyan was silent for a moment but nodded.
"You and I must not disobey the Holy One's will."
"In the future, the engagement will be cancelled, and you and I will both be passers-by."
When Lu Shiyan said this, he seemed to have returned to the scene of their first meeting.
So cool and noble.
But they all knew that something was indeed different.
"You and I……"
The heroine fumbled subconsciously, not knowing what to say?
Yes, if the engagement is cancelled, will the only tacit understanding between them as allies also disappear?
He shook his head irritably and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Where does the Miao ambassador live now?"
Gu Shufei's first thought was to trick them into retreating.
"You can't do anything to them with your own strength."
Lu Shiyan looked at him calmly, but his voice was a little gentle.
As if he knew what he wanted to do, even though he just asked for a place to live, he even told him the final result.
Yes, she also knew that there was nothing she could do about them, but it was better than doing nothing.
Although he did not dislike Lu Shiyan, it was obviously his life's important matter, but he had to listen to that dog emperor.
Damn feudal society.
This is the first time that Gu Shufei has been here for so long and feels that there is nothing she can do.
Seeing Gu Shufei feeling anxious, he was wandering around the room like an ant on a hot pot.
Lu Shiyan just comforted her calmly and softly, and then led the envoy back to the palace to reply.
After Lu Shiyan left, Gu Shufei had no intention of dealing with Gu Yuanzheng's family and simply returned to his yard.
"Miss, you are back."
Cuiyan looked overjoyed at the eldest lady in front of her whom she had not seen for a long time.
Gu Shufei just nodded in response perfunctorily, and then locked herself in the room.
If she was really obedient and married to Miao territory, how would Gu Shufei avenge her?
Therefore, it is impossible to go to Miao territory.
But is there any way to prevent myself from going to Miao territory?
Damn Miao Jiang, damn the envoy, maybe this matter has something to do with the people in Xiyue Palace.
For the first time, she realized that even though she came here, she was not omnipotent. There were always some things that she could not solve.
The sun sets and the weather gradually warms up.
The charcoal basins in winter were all removed one by one.
Cuiyan looked anxiously at Gu Shufei who was sitting in the room.
From the time she received the imperial edict until now, her young lady has only drank a pot of tea, and has not used any pastries or dinner.
Doesn't she understand that being a princess is not a good thing?
Why does the young lady look so worried?
She walked into the house again and whispered to Gu Shufei, "Miss, please eat something."
"Bring it here."
After hearing the unexpected answer, Cuiyan happily went down to prepare the meal.
It was useless to think too much. She had already decided to call Master Yan to discuss the matter at night. He was determined not to go to Miaojiang.
No matter what method is used, no matter what the cost, no matter what the cost.
After making up her mind, she heard Cui Yan ask in a low voice again. She relaxed and let Cui Yan bring the meal into the house to eat.
Midnight watch.
After sending Cui Yan to sleep in another room, Gu Shufei took out a dagger. This time she cut her finger without any hesitation.
In an instant, blood dripped on the snow-colored handkerchief with his fingers, like drops of gorgeous flowers blooming.
"You don't have to hurt yourself to call me."
The cool and familiar scent of sandalwood appeared outside the house, and the sound gradually approached.
"I don't know how else to find you."
Yanshi sighed softly and took out a palm-sized black ocarina from his arms.
"If you want to find me in the future, just blow this ocarina and I will naturally appear."
Gu Shufei took the ocarina and thanked her in disgust, but didn't speak for a while.
In silence, she raised her head and looked at Yanshi with red eyes.
She wasn't sure. This time, there is nothing life-threatening.
Will the person in front of me help me?
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yanshi looked at Gu Shufei calmly.
"You must also know that my status has changed now, but the price is that I have to be sent to Miao territory for marriage."
"I do not want to go."
Gu Shufei looked at Yanshi in front of him firmly, as if he was not discussing with the person in front of him but making a decision.
It's a pity that Yanshi was silent for a while and then said: "If you want me to die, I have to die."
"I'm not willing to do anything."
Gu Shufei's eyes were slightly red, she held the ocarina tightly in her palms, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"If the princess dies of illness, then we will have to choose another person."
Yanshi had no choice but to express his thoughts, after all...
"You mean fake death?"
Gu Shufei's mind was spinning rapidly, but after a moment she immediately denied it, "If I die now, won't I have to live a life of darkness in the future?" "This method is inappropriate."
Yanshi was silent, not because he didn't want to help her, but because he still had concerns.
"Let me think again, let me think again..."
Gu Shufei paced back and forth in the room, mumbling to herself.
Sleepless night.
Early the next morning.
Cuiyan woke up Gu Shufei softly, "Miss, Prince Heng has sent someone over to draw up the articles of association for the second young lady's marriage. The master and madam asked the young lady to come and take a look."
Seeing that there was no movement inside the screen for a long time, Cuiyan urged again in a low voice.
"knew."
Gu Shufei was very impatient. Even before her own affairs were resolved, Gu Shuyan started acting like a monster again.
