Jiang Shanshan also knew that this excuse was too flawed, but she had no choice. She couldn't say that what she saw in her dream had the ability to predict the future!
Even if he believed it, she didn't want to say it.
All in all, Gu Yuan still accepted this so-called list.
Jiang Shanshan supported his chin with both hands and looked at Gu Yuan in front of him. In recent days, he had been busy with official duties and had not rested. He was running back and forth again, and he seemed to be losing weight.
"If you are so busy, you don't have to come to my place every day, and I won't lose you in the house."
Gu Yuan shook his head, "It's okay, we're all on our way, we won't be delayed for long."
Besides, Yelver hadn't left yet, so he couldn't rest assured. In addition, the Jiang family had started acting like monsters again, and the marriage was not over yet.
If the people of Liao insist on doing this and use the war between the two countries as a platform, there is no guarantee that the current emperor will not compromise.
And this candidate...
He looked at Jiang Shanshan, his eyes fell on her increasingly delicate and pretty face, and he pursed his lips.
In the next few days, Jiang Shanshan discovered that Gu Yuan not only did not listen to her advice, but instead stayed in her house every day. Although the two of them had nothing to do, they could not stand the suspicion of outsiders.
Even Taohong has heard a lot, and it is said that some bad rumors came from the Jiang family.
She was so angry that she wanted to tear the mouth of the person who spread the rumors into pieces.
"They clearly hold a grudge against us for leaving the Jiang family, especially the eldest lady and that old guy. They are very dirty and like to do this thing the most."
Jiang Shanshan was quite calm. She was lying on a bamboo chair and shaking her fan. On the short table beside her were the fruits brought by King Qi.
After the ice has passed, it is very refreshing.
"It's just a reputation. From the moment I left the Jiang family, I have already realized it. Besides, even if they are arrogant, how many days can they be arrogant?"
He didn't even dare to publicize such a big thing as the private salt base being damaged. In addition, he made frequent mistakes these days, which even made the emperor complain.
I can't afford to make any waves at the moment.
Gu Yuan, on the other hand, did not stop the rumors from the outside, and even allowed them to do so, which made her feel a little strange.
"Hmph! They say you made that old guy vomit blood, why didn't she just kick her legs into the coffin?" Taohong muttered.
Jiang Shanshan smiled and did not answer.
It’s okay if you’re not dead, but if you die, it won’t be fun after that.
Watching King Qi and the old Taoist priest coming one after another from a distance, she said to Taohong: "Go and bring this plate of fruit to Mingxuan and the others."
Taohong glanced at the two people walking in the distance, said nothing, picked up the plate of tempting fruit and left.
Xiao Xuanye came to the front and sat down on a stool beside him. The old Taoist priest bowed and sat upright beside him.
Jiang Shanshan nodded and returned the greeting.
"Master, is the west side that the Taoist Master mentioned the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs?"
It seems that the only place that has anything to do with their royal family is possible, and all of his ancestors are buried there.
Jiang Shanshan also thought it was the western suburbs, but not necessarily the imperial mausoleum.
King Qi's father was also buried in the western suburbs, with a separate mausoleum, but the things that suppressed his destiny may also have something to do with the imperial mausoleum.
"You first try to explore your father's tomb to see if there is anything strange." As she said that, she looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "I have to leave this matter to you, Taoist Master."
"It doesn't matter, an experienced person can still do this little thing."
And this matter is indeed inseparable from him. After all, he has to know what method the other party uses before he can break this sinister technique.
When Xiao Xuanye heard that he wanted to visit his biological father's grave, he hesitated for a while, but thinking of his fate, he had to do it.
Moreover, you have to hide it from others.
When discovered, he shouldn't be beaten to death, right?
Xiao Xuanye thought in his heart.
…
In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuanyi sat opposite each other, with the route map they had just drawn in the past few days on their faces.
"As an imperial general, Liu Yang can only go to these places on weekdays, the resting guardhouse, the dining hall, His Majesty's side and the front hall."
Gu Yuan pointed to several places.
Xiao Xuanyi shook his head, "It's impossible to be with His Majesty, and even less so in the front hall. With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, it's impossible for him to hide something in those places."
"That's the resting place on weekdays, but His Majesty didn't let people search the guardhouse and found nothing." Gu Yuan thought, staring at the several places drawn on the map, and he had an idea in his mind.
After a moment, Xiao Xuanyi frowned and said, "You want me to go into the palace with you to search? My father can't agree to it."
He shook his head and refused.
"Your Highness, the defense plan is related to the country and the country. Even if we want to change the defense now, so many cannot be decided in a day or two. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be to us."
The most important thing is that people from the Liao people often come in and out of the palace now. If they find it first, it will be a big blow to the court.
As for the border, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will be sacrificed.
Xiao Xuanyi raised his hand, coughed twice, sighed, and finally agreed.
However, this matter could no longer be hidden from the emperor.
Therefore, after the two of them entered the palace, they revealed all their guesses. The emperor, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, frowned.
These days, he has been troubled by the alliance with Liao. Now that he knows that they don't care about it, but they still come to force him every day, he can't help but feel a little angry.
When I heard that their purpose was to find Liu Yang's defense map, I became even more annoyed.
"Isn't it reasonable to think that my palace can be explored casually?" As he said, he looked at the sick Xiao Xuanyi and Gu Yuan, "Since you two have a clue, I will leave this matter to you. Now the border is guarded.
We haven't had time to replace it yet, so we must not let the Liao people get it."
Xiao Xuanyi and Gu Yuan agreed together.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Cough, cough..." Xiao Xuanyi tried his best to cover his mouth and swallow all the coughs behind him.
The emperor had just relaxed his brows when he heard his son coughing again. Thinking of his illness, he felt a little unbearable.
"If Lao Qi is not in good health, he should go back and rest more. There is also a boy from the Gu family on the left and right. He can do a lot of work."
The last sentence didn't sound like a compliment. Thinking about the recent events, Gu Yuan lowered his head.
The emperor did not punish the young prince of Liao for hurting him, so he just pretended to reprimand him. Although the people of Liao were not convinced, they had no choice. It was their young prince who hurt others first.
In addition, I had other purposes, so I had no choice but to endure it.
"Ahem... Duo, thank you for your concern, father. However, I am incompetent to begin with. Now I have the opportunity to share my father's worries. I, ahem... I also want to do something for you."
After listening to Xiao Xuanyi's words, the emperor's eyes moved slightly, as if there was a touch of warmth.
This is indeed his most incompetent son. He has been sick and weak since he fell into the water as a child. He has been relying on precious medicinal materials to survive these years.
Now that things are like this, I still want to share his worries, which makes him sigh and feel a little bit more guilty.
Immediately, he was rewarded with many medicinal materials, and promised that if he really found the defense map, it would be a great achievement, and he would be rewarded based on his merits.
Xiao Xuanyi and Gu Yuan accepted the order and lowered their heads with different expressions.
