But Princess Huanyu has been feeling very worried these days.
A few days ago, the Prince of Jinling was assassinated in the palace. Although the injury was not fatal, it was just that the Prince of Jinling was old and his body was not as good as before in all aspects.
Furthermore, he was frightened again and was taken back to the palace. After careful diagnosis and treatment by Mr. Liu Liu, a famous doctor in the capital, his injuries were finally stabilized, and everyone's worries were finally relieved.
During this period, Empress Dowager Wei and the emperor sent Liu Hong and Feng Chaoying to visit several times on their behalf; Princess Changqing also came twice, needless to say, to inquire about the welfare.
Huanyu Junzhi returned to the Jinling Palace without any hesitation, and has been waiting at his father's bedside for several days, fulfilling his filial piety and taking care of his father.
Now that Prince Jinling's injury is better, Huanyu is haggard and thinner. Princess Wei held her daughter's hand and said distressedly: "Huanyu, you have lost a lot of weight these days."
Prince Jinling also said: "Yes, my daughter is much more mature and sensible than before."
Huanyu's eyes were a little sad, with a bit of sadness, and he spat out a few words with a somewhat unsteady breath, "Dad, please stop talking, I have forgotten everything from the past."
Prince Jinling knew that his words had inadvertently touched his daughter's heart, so he sighed and said nothing.
Huanyu pondered for a moment, looked at his father with watery eyes and said: "A few days ago, my daughter made a wish at Xiangguo Temple. Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so why not go and fulfill her wish? At the same time, I can also pray for my parents. I wish my father a speedy recovery and my mother a long and prosperous life - I wonder what the two elders think?"
Prince Jinling looked back at his wife and said with an moved expression: "Good boy, it's rare for you to show filial piety. How can you be disobedient as a father? Just pay attention to safety on the road and remember to go early and come back early."
"Thank you, dad." Huanyu said a deep blessing to her parents and walked out with the girl Wan'er and others.
Wan'er was originally Princess Wei's personal maid. Because the two girls who originally followed Huan Yu, Jiao Xing and Xiang Yun, died one after another, Princess Wei transferred some of the most skilled girls around her to serve Huan Yu.
Huanyu came out of her father's room, walked around the corridor, and came to the back garden of the Jinling Palace.
It was already dusk at this time, and everything in the garden seemed to be covered with an obscure veil in the hazy twilight, making it appear trance-like and unreal.
A gust of evening wind blew by, ruffling Huan Yu's hair; she stopped and stood concentrating, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks unconsciously.
Who can understand her pain at this time? In front of others, she deliberately avoided this pain, but she could not resolve the torture she suffered deep in her heart.
Ever since that day when she played the song "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight" full of melancholy in the Imperial Garden and had a heart-wrenching encounter with Ling Yun, her mood has been like turbulent waves in the past few days, and she has never calmed down.
Later, assassins broke out in the palace, and two female killers, Xiangyun and Ziyan, conspired to assassinate her and her father. At the critical moment, it was Ling Yun who risked everything and stepped forward to save their father and daughter from danger - and Ling Yun also exposed his identity as a lurking Ouchi. He had no choice but to advance his actions and break into the sky prison to make a move. The cell leader kidnapped Lu Wenzheng without allowing any explanation.
Later, the emperor summoned her and her father into the palace, became furious with them, and asked them why they didn't report what they knew. And he pressed them step by step to ask them about the details of Ling Yun's interactions with them while lurking in the palace...
Especially these days, when the imperial court offered a huge reward for Ling Yun's arrest, she was even more worried, fearing that something might happen to Ling Yun. Several times in the middle of the night, she woke up from nightmares, her heart was frightened, she was dripping with cold sweat, and she almost lost her voice.
But sometimes when she calmed down, she laughed at herself: "Huanyu, you are so mean. What did he do to you in the first place? The end he has now is his own fault and his retribution. Why should you treat him so badly?" So worried?..."
The contradictory psychology was entangled repeatedly and could not be avoided; the pain spread bit by bit, tormenting her scarred heart from time to time, just like ink drops on rice paper, spreading bit by bit...
The next morning. Princess Huanyu, accompanied by Wan'er, Zhao Yang and others, came to Xiangguo Temple a few miles outside the capital.
After completing her wish, Princess Huanyu, surrounded by maids, servants, servants, and guards, rushed back.
There are large trees on both sides of the ancient road, the canopy of the trees blocks out the sky, the leaves are intertwined, and the thick ivy winds up; the colorful wild flowers are dotted among them, and the fragrance of the flowers is ethereal, which is intoxicating.
As their carriages and horses passed through a remote tree-lined path, they suddenly heard unusual noises in the forest, and there were faint sounds of fighting and shouts for help.
Huanyu frowned slightly and told Zhao Yang: "Go and see what's going on?"
Zhao Yang took the order and entered the woods with a dozen guards who were highly skilled in martial arts and shrewd and capable.
After turning around for a moment, he saw several guards supporting two young men with disheveled clothes and blood stains approaching.
Zhao Yang said to the young man: "This is our princess."
When they heard that the graceful, elegant, beautiful and noble woman opposite was actually the princess of the imperial court, the two young men were immediately frightened. He hurriedly struggled and limped forward, prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to Princess Huanyu, thanking him for his rescue.
Huan Yu saw that they were still young, the older one was eighteen or nineteen years old, and the younger one was fourteen or fifteen years old. Their childish look had not faded from their faces, and they had thick eyebrows and big eyes. They were quite heroic. Their rough clothes were stained with blood, and they looked extremely miserable. .
Huan Yu's eyes flickered and her eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling that the two people seemed to have known each other before. She turned back and looked at Zhao Yang, "What's going on?"
Zhao Yang lowered his hands and said respectfully: "The young man led people into the jungle just now, and happened to encounter five or six masked men in black chasing these two teenagers. We saw that the two of them were in danger, so we came to help. Those black men People ran away when they saw the situation was bad.”
Although Huan Yu is now nearly 30 years old, she is still forthright and outspoken, retaining the chivalrous complex she had as a girl who drew her sword to help when encountering any injustice. At this time, after hearing Zhao Yang's statement, she naturally praised them and then turned back. Asked about the life experience and origin of the two teenagers.
The older boy said: "The younger one's name is Ge Long, and this is my younger brother Ge Hu. A few days ago, he was kicked out of the house by his grandfather and father because he did something wrong. But misfortunes never come singly, and he was chased by enemies here again. , if the princess and all the eldest brothers hadn’t come to help, our brothers would have been in a much worse situation..."
Huan Yu frowned slightly, showing a slightly surprised and confused look, "There are no bad parents in the world, and there are no bad children. As long as you admit your mistakes and can correct them, it will be fine; but I don't understand what you have done. What wrong would make your parents so angry that they would even drive you out of the house?"
Ge Long and Ge Hu looked at each other and lowered their heads slumped.
It turns out that the two brothers were obsessed with money that night and tried to plot against Ling Yun in order to get the government's reward of 100,000 silver. They didn't want to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Instead, they were stopped by Ling Yun and fell short.
Feeling guilty and depressed, he happened to catch up with his grandfather Ge Zhong who was away from home after finishing his work and returned home. He happened to witness the thrilling scene in the room when Ling Yun and the Ge brothers were fighting.
Encountering such an embarrassing thing, anyone else would have been panicked and overwhelmed, but Ge Zhongnai is a hidden expert, calm in dealing with things, and calm in the face of danger.
When Ge Zhong saw Ling Yun pushing open the door and leaving, he quickly entered his son Ge Beiqiu's room. He was shocked and angry when he found out that his son had been given a huge dose of Mongolian sweat drug, and that the people who administered the drug were actually his two grandsons.
Fortunately, he was skilled in medicine and quickly detoxified Ge Beiqiu from the drug; then the father and son hurried out of the room, caught up with Ling Yun who had already left, and apologized to him profusely.
Although nothing irreparable happened, and although Ling Yun didn't say anything at the time, such an embarrassing thing happened, and as a result, Ling Yun could no longer be detained here, and had to say goodbye and leave——
The Gurdjieff father and son, who had always valued morality and reputation more than life, felt that they had lost their due etiquette, offended and neglected their friends, and felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
After Ling Yun left, the two of them were very angry. According to Ge Beiqiu's fiery temper, these two unscrupulous sons who did not know the bounds of heaven and earth and were willful and reckless were to be killed on the spot.
Thanks to Ge Zhong's calm character, he rationally stopped his impulsive son and said: "Ge Long and Ge Hu are young and ignorant after all, and they do not know the truth. It is inevitable that they occasionally do impulsive things. Let’s give them a chance.”
Ge Beiqiu said in a rage: "You spoiled them in the past. Now that something like this happened, do you still let it go and let it go easily? If things go on like this one day, if you spoil them to the point of regicide, Are you willing to regret it until you are a father?"
Ge Zhong saw that his son had a tough attitude and even spoke rudely. No matter how calm and calm he usually was, he couldn't hold back his anger at this time - as the saying goes, "It's none of your business, caring will lead to chaos"!
The father and son were both very stubborn at this time, and neither of them was willing to make concessions, so they started to argue in a heated manner, which resulted in a heated argument.
I have never seen my grandfather and father lose control of their emotions like this before. Ge Long and Ge Hu felt guilty at this time like a torrent in their hearts.
The two of them fell to their knees, their mouths twitching slightly, and they cried: "Grandfather, father, both children are unworthy. They made the two elders angry. The children no longer have the face to stay in this family - children, let's go now!"
Ge Beiqiu's face was livid, and his bloodshot eyes were as scarlet as ghosts. "Well said, I don't have such an unfaithful and unscrupulous son like you! Leave now and don't let me see you again!"
In this way, the two brothers were kicked out of the house...
At this time, facing Princess Huanyu's inquiry, the two of them felt ashamed and remained silent.
Huanyu has a clear mind and Bingxue is smart. When he saw the situation, he stopped asking questions and changed the topic: "I see you are so young, how can you offend your enemies and be hunted down?"...
