Fengluan's 18th year of prosperity
Feng Luan and Qing Long signed a peace contract, and Qing Long ended up compensating Feng Luan with two hundred thousand taels of gold for one year's war losses.
When the Gu family returned to the court, the eldest princess Luo Nanchu greeted her outside the capital, which was a great honor.
When he returned to the court near the end of the year, His Majesty's Sacred Heart was overjoyed, and because of the eldest princess Luonan Chu's advice, he made Ye Yunwu the general of the country.
Ye Yunwu originally wanted to refuse. Although he was forced to resign, he did not want to join the court again. Now he returned to the army just because of the entrustment of the eldest princess, and it was also to make up for what happened back then.
But before Ye Yunwu opened his mouth, Luo Nanchu seemed to have noticed Ye Yunwu's avoidance, and persuaded him: "General Ye, what happened back then is in the past, and you should let it go now."
Ye Yunwu stayed there for a moment, closed his eyes and thanked him.
Luo Nanchu's words had obvious connotations. Gu Zijin, who was standing behind Ye Yunwu, had a dark light in his eyes, but his face remained calm.
Later, Gu Ziyang was awarded the title of General of Hussar, and Gu Zijin was appointed as General of Fujun.
There are three generals in each branch, which is equivalent to the military power in Ye Yunwu's hands, so he gave it to the Gu family.
However, this military power was originally in the hands of Luonan Chu, and His Majesty's move was just a formality.
And this military power... belongs to the Gu family.
Looking at the three people thanking him below, a trace of sadness flashed in Luo Nanchu's eyes.
After the reward was over, the three of them took a break and returned home.
At the door of Gu's house, lanterns were hung high, and there was a joyful atmosphere.
Everyone's faces were full of joy and expectation, until they saw Ye Yunwu and others, they quickly stepped forward to greet them.
Gu Qingbai took the first step and saluted Ye Yunwu, and then couldn't bear it anymore and headed towards the carriage.
However, the moment the car curtain was opened, only Gu Zijin was seen.
Gu Qingbai's face turned pale instantly: "Wife...Where is the wife?"
Gu Zijin lowered his head and did not dare to look at Gu Qingbai, his face full of sadness and guilt: "Brother..., my wife is her..."
Gu Zijin hesitated and couldn't continue. He clearly promised to bring his wife back, but now... he broke his promise.
Gu Ziyang, who was behind Ye Yunwu, also lowered his head.
Then Ye Yunwen looked at Ye Yunwu with doubtful eyes. Seeing this, Ye Yunwu just looked calm and shook his head gently at Ye Yunwen.
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Ye Yunwen sighed and said, "It's too cold outside. Go back. Don't freeze your body."
Nan Feng stepped forward and carefully helped Gu Qingbai walk inside.
This year, due to the war, the master did not have time to go out to look for his wife. After all, three people in the family were on the battlefield. How could the master not take charge of the overall situation at home?
The search for the wife fell entirely on the second master, but there was no news from the second master. Seeing the depressed and painful look of his master, Nan Feng felt sad, but there was nothing he could do.
Some time ago, I finally learned the news about my wife in the letter sent back by the fifth master. Nan Feng saw the happiness of the master. Now the decoration of the Gu Mansion is even more involved with the master, just to be able to see the lady when she comes back. Make your wife happy.
And now... Nan Feng raised his head and looked at Gu Qingbai.
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes...

Ye Yun's library
The three brothers sat together. The servants served the tea and left one by one, leaving only the three brothers.
After greeting each other, Ye Yunwen held the tea cup and asked: "That military power...what do you think?"
Ye Yunwu lowered his head and remained silent.
Ye Yun'an, who was on the side, had a worried face: "My wife's old injury recurred back then, so... after that incident happened, we made our own decisions... As a result, when the wife learned about it later, it was the news of that person's death..."
"In the end, the wife was greatly stimulated, her temperament changed drastically, and she even... handed over the military power..."
Ye Yunan couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of Gu Yan's appearance when he learned the news. That was also the moment when their Gu family fell into hell.
Thinking of this, the three of them fell silent at the same time.
When they heard the news, they knew that something was serious about them...
Sure enough, as soon as they got home, they ran into Gu Yanyi. She ran towards them with red eyes, even wearing only light-colored single clothes.
"Why! How dare you hide this from me!"
Gu Yan grabbed Ye Yunwu's collar and shouted angrily:
"Ye Yunwu! Even if my body does not allow me to send troops! But why don't you go to help her! Why don't you go!!"
Ye Yun'an was directly frightened at that time, but Ye Yunwen reacted and quickly stepped forward, took Gu Yanyi's hand and knelt down: "My wife, please calm down. Let's go back and tell you that you are still sick, so don't..."
Before Ye Yunwen could finish speaking, Gu Yan kicked Ye Yunwen away, then touched Ye Yunwu's scabbard, picked up the sword and smashed it at Ye Yunwu.
Asking "why" one after another
For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh, until he was exhausted. When Gu Yan looked at the three people hugging each other, he burst into tears.
"What should I do...now that she is dead, what should I do...what do you want me to do...!"
Gu Yanyi flashed his friend's smile when he handed over the military power to her: "Yiyi, I give this military power to you. When I become the king, you will be the sharpest sword in my hand and the most powerful shield in my hand. Yiyi. Are you protecting me?"
Gu Yanyi slowly closed his eyes and fell down: The stars... broke their promises one by one...
Ye Yunwen and others quickly sent the person back to the room and invited a doctor to treat him.
However... when Gu Yanyi woke up again, he put on his armor regardless of all costs and followed Luonan Chu to pacify the court. After that, Gu Yanyi directly gave the military power to Luonan Chu.
The wife said: "Since we have military power, but we can't protect the people we want to protect, what's the use of keeping her?"
After that, the wife changed...
After a moment of silence, Ye Yunwu spoke in a low voice: "On the battlefield, I saw... Yan Yiheng."
"What did you say!" Ye Yunwen stood up in a panic, and then confirmed again and again: "Are you sure!"
Yan Yiheng, the former Crown Prince, whose identity and origins were unknown, made the Crown Prince desperate to be alone, but... wasn't he missing back then?
If he hadn't disappeared... so many things wouldn't have happened in the future!
The princess will not die...the wife is her...
Ye Yunwu frowned and nodded: "I was poisoned because I saw him. He is now... Qinglong Regent."
Ye Yunwen took a deep breath and sat down blankly: "So...did you take this position?"
"Hmm! I suspect...there may be something behind what happened back then."
There were so many things that happened that year, the princess disappeared, the grandson was kidnapped, the princess died, the late emperor died of illness, the court was in turmoil, one after another...
So...the person who caused everything suddenly appeared in Qinglong, which really made them have to think about it.
"Forget it, since you have decided, let's do it."
After it was over, Ye Yunwen sat alone in his seat, silent and dazed.
The sky was dark, Ye Yunwen suddenly stood up and walked towards the room. A vase moved slightly, the wall opposite slowly moved away, and Ye Yunwen walked towards it.
