Mo Jinran followed Gu Hong to the camp. Gu Hong's clothes had been kept in the tent. When he entered, he took off his bloody clothes. Mo Jinran turned his head aside and did not look at his naked body.
body.
"What do you want to ask me?" Gu Hong's voice had no warmth at all. Talking to Mo Jinran like this made Mo Jinran panic.
"I want to ask, even if the prince doesn't like her, there is no need to kill her, right?"
Mo Jinran's accusation was unexpected by Gu Hong. Apart from sneering, there was no unnecessary expression!
"Ninth Prince, what is your attitude? It is a life. Although you think it is low, she worked hard to please you, so she got such an end? Didn't you promise me? Accept her?"
Gu Hong had already put on his clothes and walked up to Mo Jinran, staring into her eyes. He said word by word: "In my eyes, he is no different from a woman in a brothel. I can't kill him if he annoys me."
It’s no different than crushing an ant to death!”
When Mo Jinran heard this, he looked at Gu Hong in disbelief. Impossible, Gu Hong would never be like this. He has always loved the people like his son. Even with those class concepts, he would not treat human life like a piece of grass.
"Haha, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Your Majesty, did Yingchun do something that he shouldn't have done? Or said something that he shouldn't have said?"
"None of these are important. What's important is that I don't like her! Well, I'm tired, so I'll sleep in this tent tonight!" After Gu Hong finished speaking, he lay down on his original bed and didn't come out again.
Voice.
Mo Jinran didn't know how to ask. She was annoyed, but seeing Gu Hong like this, she had to worry about him.
Before dawn, Gu Hong killed someone at the first moment of the first day of the Lunar New Year. I don't know what the omen was.
At dawn, everything about welcoming the spring had been taken care of. Everyone seemed to have never seen what happened last night, but no one in the entire team dared to take a breath. Gu Hong kept a straight face, without any trace of emotion.
His expression showed neither unhappiness nor happiness!
Their next station was on the other side of a mountain. At noon they broke camp and marched forward.
When they arrived, the people who were originally sent to transport Yingchun's body also arrived, followed by the master who sent Yingchun back.
"I'm here to meet the Ninth Prince, Prince Consort!" The master looked a little flustered, and looked at Gu Hong with more fear. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather, or because he was afraid, but Mo Jinran found that his legs were
trembling.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Ninth Prince. Ninth Prince, I don't know how Miss Yingchun made you angry. Please forgive Miss Yingchun for the sake of her passing!"
As soon as the master said it, Mo Jinran was stunned. Unexpectedly, the family did not blame him at all, but apologized first.
Gu Hong, on the other hand, looked as expected. Didn't they send their daughters here just to please themselves, and how much would they care about the water thrown out by their married daughters?
"Does Yingxian Cheng have any requirements?" Gu Hong asked. This Yingxian Cheng is Yingchun's father.
"I don't dare. The county magistrate asked me to convey that Yingchun failed to serve the Ninth Prince properly because of the county magistrate's poor teaching. Please don't blame me!"
"In this case, I don't have to worry about it. I will soon forget this matter!" Gu Hong smiled coldly. Does Ying County Prime Minister want to sell him a favor like this? They forgot that he is
Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince, there is no need for this at all.
Such words shocked the master into a cold sweat. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Hong.
"Okay, I am busy with official duties, so I won't keep the master. Lieutenant General Qin will send the master to you!"
Before the Master finished speaking and the purpose of coming here was not achieved, he was sent away by Gu Hong. He just wanted to be polite, why was the Ninth Prince so straightforward? How did he know that Gu Hong did it on purpose?
Woolen cloth?
In short, they stole the chicken but lost the rice this time!
Mo Jinran had always seen this in her eyes and kept silent. Now she also saw Yingxian Cheng's intentions. The most unworthy thing was that Yingchun, who was only a teenager, died like this. If it weren't for his father's greed for power.
I came here to curry favor with Gu Hong, a young lady from the Cheng family of Yingchun County, no matter how poorly she married, she would still be a gentry from her husband's hometown, and she would be well clothed and well-fed all her life, but now...
In fact, what she is most curious about now is how Yingchun offended Gu Hong.
This question has always been in her mind, but she could never find a chance to ask Gu Hong. Gu Hong also seemed to be avoiding her, unlike before, he always looked for opportunities for the two of them to get along.
Now they are in a situation they have never experienced before. It is not a quarrel or an awkward situation. A similar cold war makes Mo Jinran panic!
Finally, all the disaster relief work came to an end, and the army began to prepare to set off. Mo Jinran thought that Leng Qing would go back with them, but Leng Qing sent a letter saying that she could not go back with them, and that she had to go back to the village first. Mo Jinran
Although I felt sad, I could only hold on.
The heavy snow has stopped. It has been falling intermittently for nearly two months, which really made everyone nervous. Although some people were frozen to death, they have tried hard to minimize the casualties. Overall, the disaster relief work was successful.
. This made the soldiers feel a little happy, and so did Mo Jinran. Only Gu Hong was unhappy.
But at this time, everyone's gossip factor was sealed up, and no one dared to say a word. This was the first time this happened.
As she gradually approached the imperial city, Mo Jinran suddenly felt uneasy. For some reason, she always felt that something was going to happen. So, she slowed down.
"What's the matter, Prince Consort?" Qin Weishi asked softly as he rode beside Mo Jinran.
"It's okay! But I'm a little uneasy!"
"Stop and rest!" Gu Hong didn't know whether he heard Mo Jinran's words or not, and asked the army to stop and rest.
Mo Jinran got off his horse and sat on the big stone by the roadside, thoughtfully.
Gu Hong came over and handed over the kettle. Mo Jinran took it. Gu Hong was close to Mo Jinran for the first time in many days, but she couldn't be happy.
"What's wrong?" Gu Hong noticed something was wrong with Mo Jinran.
Mo Jinran suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Hong, the panic on his face became clearer. "Ninth Prince, do you think something is going to happen? Why am I so uneasy?"
Her panicked look moved Gu Hong's heart, and he couldn't help softening his voice. "We are almost home, what else can happen? I am here, so don't worry!"
"I, I can't let go, could something happen at home?" It was rare for Mo Jinran to show such vulnerability in front of Gu Hong, which made Gu Hong's heart soften.
"It's okay, don't think so wildly!"
"I hope it's just my wild imagination!" In Mo Jinran's previous three lives, only the three-year-old body before Ruoxin's death had such a feeling. Although the memory at that time was a little blurry, it was there. She remembered that it was the same at that time.
She was so flustered that the three-year-old could only cry and fuss. Ruoxin did not come to comfort her as before, but left her forever.
She didn't know what would happen this time. She was so scared. She really hoped that she had remembered it wrong and was overthinking it.
"Drink some water. You must have not had a good rest for so many days. Go back tonight and have a good sleep. I will host a banquet at noon tomorrow and have a good meal!" Gu Hong said boldly. The food these days has been too bad.
He couldn't help but want to have a big meal.
"Yeah!" Mo Jinran nodded, still unable to cheer up.
The sky that was clear just a moment ago was now filled with dark clouds, gloomy and gloomy, blocking the light of the sun and making the surrounding area suddenly dark.
"Isn't it going to snow again?" A soldier from behind muttered, and it reached Mo Jinran's ears.
Before I had time to think more, there was a sound of thunder.
Everyone was a little uneasy. Thunder in winter is extremely rare.
"W-what's going on?" The timid person was already a little panicked.
"Don't worry, everyone, the thunder in winter is just because the climate is a little humid!" Mo Jinran thought of some things he saw in the 21st century and said to the soldiers. However, although she pretended to be calm, she was not calm at all.
.
A dark cloud overhead covered the sun for a while before drifting away. Fortunately, there was no snow or rain, maybe because the wind was stronger.
Indeed, the wind started to blow again at this moment, which made Mo Jinran feel even more evil.
Mo Jinran pretended to be calm so that others could not see it, but Gu Hong knew it clearly. He patted Mo Jinran's shoulder and told her not to worry with his eyes.
Mo Jinran shook his head and said it was time to set off.
So we got on the horses and everyone continued to move forward. Seeing that we were about to reach the gate of the imperial city in half an hour, Mo Jinran began to hesitate. She always felt that that place was now the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. She had been looking forward to it very much before.
When she comes back, there are relatives waiting for her at home, and Xu Yi, the person she misses day and night, but why is she feeling like this at this moment?
The soldiers, however, became excited because they were going home, and their pace quickened a lot. Mo Jinran was unwilling, and the expression on his face became more hesitant.
Gu Hong had been paying attention to Mo Jinran. Seeing her like this, he simply asked: "How about we set up camp again tonight and go to the city tomorrow?"
"No need, I have to go back sooner or later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Hong could answer, Mo Jinran saw a white figure riding a horse in the distance. This figure was extremely familiar, but the closer he got, the more he could see that the person was not riding a horse.
, almost lying on the horse. The snow-white brocade robe was stained with traces of blood red, and the hair was disheveled, looking very embarrassed.
"Xu Yi, it's Xu Yi, what's going on?" Mo Jinran shouted hurriedly, riding his horse to meet him, and jumped off the horse to catch Xu Yi who fell.
"Ranran..." Seeing Mo Jinran, Xu Yi showed a smile on his face. The smile was so gratifying. "Let's go quickly, Ranran, let's go quickly!"
"What's wrong? Why are you like this?" Mo Jinran asked hurriedly.
"Go quickly, don't go back, the emperor knows that you are a daughter..."
