After drinking Gu Hong's blood, Mo Jinran's health was much better than before, and the disaster relief operation was proceeding smoothly. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year.
On New Year's Eve, they really couldn't make it back. However, they still had to celebrate the New Year. For this reason, Mo Jinran specially planned it. Together with the nearby victims and all the disaster relief soldiers.
Although the supplies were limited, Gu Hong organized everyone to go hunting in the mountains to enrich everyone's New Year's Eve dinner. Red window grilles were also posted inside the tent to express the celebration. However, there were no firecrackers to cheer up, so everyone was a little disappointed. So Mo Jinran came up with an idea.
Everyone had a bonfire party together. There were no firecrackers, so everyone could sing and dance to cheer up the fun. Although the weather was a little colder, it would be much better if we moved.
After agreeing on all this, we got busy on the morning of New Year's Eve.
But Mo Jinran was always thinking about desertedness, so he asked Mi Fan to send another letter, which only wrote the words "Happy New Year".
Mo Jinran knew that Lengqing was very close to her, maybe as close as a mountain or a forest, so she didn't feel sad about it!
When it was almost dark, Mifen flew back and brought a thick reply. When he opened it, he saw that it was a painting. In the painting, there was a vast expanse of white snow, and occasionally there was a red plum blooming in the wind, which was particularly beautiful. The red plums were blooming in the wind.
A woman stood beside him, her grace was swaying, and her face was indeed extraordinarily heroic. If it wasn't Mo Jinran, who could it be?
In this painting, Mo Jinran is wearing a white skirt and white fox fur, blending in with the white snow, like an elf in the snow.
"Is this painted by Mr. Leng?" Gu Hong came over carrying the hare. Seeing that Mo Jinran was looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but take a look.
"Yeah, but I think this one doesn't look like me anymore!" Mo Jinran said with a smile. The woman in the painting was so beautiful and graceful that she felt inferior to her.
"I think it looks very similar. You will look so good in women's clothes!" Gu Hong only saw it once, so he had unlimited reveries in his mind.
Such praise made Mo Jinran blush. He lowered his head and said nothing. Gu Hong had always been facing her, but now she was really uncomfortable with it!
But her shy appearance made Gu Hong fall in love with her so much that he held her in his arms and cherished her.
"Ninth Prince, Prince Consort, everything is ready!" Qin Weishi called them outside, and they couldn't help but walk out together.
The bonfire has been set up, and men, women and children have put on their thickest clothes and gathered around. Although their homes were destroyed by the snowstorm, it can be seen that they are all happy today and full of hope for the future.
.
The bonfire party officially began, and the villagers also found simple musical instruments. Although the tone was not very accurate, it added a lot of joy. In this mountain village, there are many capable people and strangers. The girl plays the piano, and the young man
There are many people singing loudly.
Everywhere was filled with the joy of the New Year, and the surrounding soldiers frequently raised their wine glasses. Although the wine was not enough, everyone still drank happily. After a few bowls of wine, everyone became more relaxed, and not far away
Gradually a red figure approached.
Because the victims were all wearing coarse cloth or above, this red figure was particularly conspicuous. She stood in the middle of the field, and a girl played the piano. The red figure danced with the music, startling the whole audience and cheering.
Mo Jinran took a closer look. It turned out to be the Spring Festival. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into trying to please Gu Hong. If nothing else, just saying that in such a cold day, she was wearing only a red brocade skirt and dancing, which was very unbearable.
of.
In order to dance beautifully, this brocade skirt cannot have a cotton lining, otherwise it will look like a polar bear, and even a red polar bear.
"Welcome the New Year to the Ninth Prince, Prince Consort, and all the soldiers, happy New Year and all the best! May the Ninth Prince be safe!" Yingchun said softly, and the voice seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, which was particularly pleasant to hear.
"Yeah!" The Ninth Prince didn't look at Yingchun, but just nodded, letting Yingchun's eyes flash with disappointment.
"Miss Yingchun, come over here and sit down!" Mo Jinran waved to Yingchun, leaving a seat between her and Gu Hong, and letting Qin Weishi add a chair.
"Yes, thank you Prince Consort for giving me the seat!" Yingchun smiled flatteringly at Mo Jinran and walked over!
Gu Hong always acted like it had nothing to do with him. He didn't refuse, and he didn't particularly welcome Yingchun. Maybe he was accepting Yingchun little by little.
Yingchun is indeed a sensible girl. She sat next to Gu Hong and served Gu Hong with dishes and wine. She was so attentive that everyone envied her! Mo Jinran felt a little sour in his heart, but his face
But there was always a smile on her face. This was exactly what she wanted to see, she wanted to bless them!
Because of the discomfort in his heart, Mo Jinran quietly left the dinner before the dinner ended. Returning to the tent, he took out the painting Leng Qing had painted for her and looked at it carefully.
That night, the wrong wine made Gu Hong very drunk. Everyone thought he was too happy to have a beautiful woman in his arms, but only he knew how bitter he felt in his heart. That night, Yu Yingchun walked in the carriage
While taking care of Gu Hong, who had drunk too much, the two of them came together again, and they must be inseparable!
Mo Jinran was thinking about it, but couldn't help but look at the carriage outside the battalion commander.
"Prince-in-law!" Qin Weishi asked to see him at the door!
"Come in, what's going on?" The dinner party has already ended. Although it is a New Year's Eve celebration, most people still went to bed under such difficult conditions. They have to be busy rebuilding their homes during the day, and everyone is very hard.
"Your Majesty, according to the current progress, if nothing happens, we can return to Beijing in five days!" Qin Weishi told the truth. This disaster relief was particularly smooth because of the help of Leng Qing and others.
"Okay, I understand!" Mo Jinran nodded to express understanding. It had been a month since she was so panicked. She began to miss her relatives at home, and Xu Yi. During the New Year period, he, the Minister of Etiquette, was the busiest.
I don't know if his thin body can bear it.
"besides......"
"What? Why are you hesitating?"
"My subordinate would like to ask, should we take the Yingchun girl back?" Qin Weishi asked hesitantly, looking at Mo Jinran's face carefully.
"This is up to the Ninth Prince to decide. Let's wait until tomorrow to ask the Ninth Prince!"
"I know!" Qin Weishi looked at Mo Jinran's face with unclear meaning. He always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't say it. "Then please, Prince Consort, please rest early. I will resign!"
"Well! You've worked hard these days, Adjutant Qin!"
"It's my blessing to be able to work for the prince and the prince, so why bother!" Qin Weishi's mouth became sweeter and sweeter, and then he bowed and left. Mo Jinran was left alone in this empty tent.
middle.
The oil lamp flickered on and off, which was the only excitement in the camp. The outside had also quieted down, as if Mo Jinran was the only person left in the world.
She thought that wine can cheer her up, and now Gu Hong must fall in the gentle countryside! With a bitter smile, she should be relieved, right? Although Gu Hong also went to live with Yingchun in the carriage a few times, but those
It was all an act of anger. This time, Gu Hong agreed to her!
Forget it, stop thinking about it and go to sleep!
As soon as Mo Jinran lay down with his clothes on, he heard a piercing scream in the silent night sky.
"What's going on?" Mo Jinran hurriedly got out of bed and ran out before she could put on her cotton robe, because she heard that the voice was welcoming the spring.
Not only Mo Jinran heard it, but many soldiers also heard it. Everyone ran out and surrounded Gu Hong's carriage, fearing that something might happen to Gu Hong.
"Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince..." Qin Weishi called carefully but eagerly, for fear of missing something or disturbing something.
Gu Hong walked out of the carriage at this time, his eyes were red, and his snow-white coat was covered with blood!
"What's going on? Your Majesty, are you injured?" Mo Jinran was so shocked that he didn't care about anything and hurriedly went to check.
"It's okay, this is not my king's blood!" Gu Hong said coldly.
"This..." Mo Jinran asked, approaching the carriage, the smell of blood became even stronger. She looked inside the carriage, and she saw Yingchun lying there with her eyes wide open, with such disbelief in her eyes.
, and she was covered in blood and her clothes were messy. If you look closely, you can see that the wound was on the neck, where the person had dug out the artery, not with a weapon, but with his fingers.
"Your Highness, did you do this?" Mo Jinran turned around and asked Gu Hong in disbelief.
"It's me!" Gu Hong's voice was still cold, without any waves.
"Why? Why is this happening?" Mo Jinran didn't understand what Yingchun had done to make Gu Hong angry, and he wanted to kill her in such a cruel way. It was common for military commanders to kill people, and someone like Gu Hong
No one has ever tried killing someone!
"I don't like her, it's as simple as that." Gu Hong said to Mo Jinran in a very cold and arrogant manner, which made Mo Jinran tremble. She had always known that Gu Hong was bloodthirsty, but she had never been afraid of it.
, at this moment she looked at Gu Hong but felt scared.
"Qin Weishi!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go and send her body back and ask her father if she wants any compensation. As long as it's not too much, I will agree!" Obviously, Gu Hong wanted to use this method to make up for the death of Yingchun. This made Mo Jinran
He felt angry in his heart. A living human life had been trampled on by Gu Hong like this. It was obvious that Gu Hong had never put Yingchun in his eyes and never regarded her as a human being.
Qin Weishi took the order and went to do it, but Mo Jinran was still staring at Mo Jinran stupidly.
Gu Hong couldn't help but look at her, with a hint of ridicule on his lips. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"What a joke, what am I afraid of?" Mo Jinran looked at Gu Hong like a stranger, but he would never admit that he was afraid of something.
"Don't be afraid, forget it if you're not afraid, I have to go back to the camp to change clothes now!" After saying that, Gu Hong walked towards the camp!
