At three o'clock in the morning, the meeting woman and Lingxiu hurried back to the palace gate.
After showing the token to the guards, he turned around and looked into the distance before preparing to enter the palace gate.
"The eldest princess."
Hearing the shouts from behind, the masked woman slowly turned around and saw a handsome man leading a horse out from under a tree not far from the palace gate.
The masked woman saw clearly that the visitor's pupils were constricted, and her veil was rising and falling due to nervous breathing.
Lingxiu's voice trembled: "General Anbei... aren't you accompanying your younger siblings?"
The Imperial Guards were stunned after paying tribute to Gu Ruizhou. Is this masked woman the eldest princess Yun Ping?
Gu Ruizhou looked at the masked woman:
"Princess, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
The eldest princess nodded silently, followed Gu Ruizhou out of the palace gate, and took off her veil.
Gu Ruizhou: "Where does the eldest princess's actions today put me? Don't worry, eldest princess, I'm just here to ask clearly, not to embarrass you."
The eldest princess: "After asking clearly, what does the general want to do?"
Gu Ruizhou: "Only after you know the princess's mind can you know what to do."
The eldest princess lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying:
"General, don't worry, Yun Ping knows what's appropriate. Today I'm just saying goodbye to my friends and there is no personal relationship. From now on, we will have no contact with each other, so as not to delay the marriage between you and me."
Yun Muzhi, who was escorting the eldest princess back to the palace in the distance, saw that the eldest princess was stopped by Gu Ruizhou and could not hear the two voices talking. He thought that Gu Ruizhou was making things difficult for the eldest princess again, so he ran out regardless.
Gu Ruizhou: "So, I didn't see anything today, princess, don't worry..."
"General Gu! It's my fault and it has nothing to do with the princess. Please let her go!"
Yun Muzhi rushed over and stood in front of the eldest princess, spreading her arms and clenching her hands into fists because of nervousness.
"General Gu, today the common people are threatening us with their lives. The princess is just kind-hearted and has come to meet her. There is no overstepping the bounds of etiquette. Moreover, the eldest princess has made it clear that she will never see the common people again in the future. Please show your respect, General."
The eldest princess's unchanging face was full of fear and anxiety:
"Mu Zhi, who asked you to come out? General Anbei didn't embarrass me. Leave quickly! Let's go!"
Yun Muzhi turned his head and said, "What happened today was all the fault of ordinary people. How can we let the princess take the blame for it?"
Gu Ruizhou looked at the two people in front of him, as if he was the outsider.
The eldest princess was moved, scared, distressed, and sad at the moment, and her emotions were mixed together. She was completely different from the cold look in front of him, which made Gu Ruizhou understand that the two of them had already been deeply in love.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I couldn't say that I was sad. After all, I didn't have deep feelings for the eldest princess... The eldest princess was always cold and frosty when I met her several times. It turned out that she had a sweetheart for a long time...
Lingxiu looked at Gu Ruizhou's face, stepped forward and tugged on the eldest princess' sleeve.
The eldest princess calmed down her expression, her face was calm and composed, her slightly trembling hands were clasped tightly:
"General Anbei said that Hui Quan should pretend that he doesn't know what happened today. You should go back quickly and don't stay here too long."
Yun Muzhi: "Princess..."
The eldest princess scolded cruelly: "Let's go! Don't be an eyesore here!"
Yun Muzhi looked deeply at his sweetheart, smiled and nodded with tears in his eyes:
"The common people are here to send the princess back to the palace. I wish her all the best in the future and long blessings."
The eldest princess also had red eyes, took a deep breath, saluted Gu Ruizhou and said:
"Thank you very much for today, General. I will say thank you again tomorrow and take my leave."
