Jiang Shanshan was a little disappointed, but from his silence, he seemed to get the answer.
Yes, how could Gu Yuan not do it because he was greedy for life and afraid of death!
After thinking about this, she became even more disappointed.
These people are just annoying and like to take all responsibilities on themselves.
After sending Jiang Shanshan back to the mansion, Gu Yuan did not stay here anymore, but turned the carriage back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
As if he had expected that he would come back, Xiao Xuanyi had already prepared sake and side dishes.
Gu Yuan sat down with a cold expression, "Your Highness, what did you forget to promise me?"
Xiao Xuanyi glanced at him lightly, raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, then put it down and said: "What about you? Do you still know what you are doing? There is something unusual at the border, and there will be a large army approaching the border soon, but you are still busy protecting her.
.”
"These things have nothing to do with her. I will fight to protect the border. As long as I can still stand, I will never let a single soldier of the Liao Kingdom enter the situation of Daxing."
"How many enemies can you defeat by one person? One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand?" Xiao Xuanyi glared coldly, "The Liao Kingdom is fully prepared this time, which is far from what it was three years ago. Now only by completing the "Hundred Weapons Manual" can there be a chance of survival.
, Otherwise, how can you face your father's wrath? No matter how meritorious the Gu family is, how can you withstand the king's intention to kill me?"
Gu Yuan tightened his lips and looked ugly.
"Have you forgotten how the Xue family was destroyed?"
Gu Yuan was startled.
Seeing his silence, Xiao Xuanyi obviously listened and his expression softened slightly.
He said and did these things mostly for himself, but also for his family.
The importance of "Hundred Instruments Book" is well known. Today, few people know Jiang Shanshan's identity, but it will one day be exposed.
If you don't get this thing first, you can help the Gu family, and it can also be a bargaining chip.
To put it bluntly, only the Gu family can protect Jiang Shanshan's siblings, and only the "Hundred Instruments Book" can keep the Gu family standing.
No matter what, he couldn't watch the Gu family fall into dire straits, even if he was the villain.
"Uncle, they have already rushed to the border!" Xiao Xuanyi said lightly.
Gu Yuan nodded, "Several uncles are also going together."
"Really! It seems that this war is inevitable."
He lowered his head and looked at his fair, almost transparent skin. His joints were clear and strong, but he couldn't move them at all.
Maybe in this life... no, maybe not at all.
"What about you! When are you leaving?"
"Let's give it some time!"
Xiao Xuanyi understood that he had other arrangements, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The capital began to calm down inexplicably, and within a few days, the DPRK received news that there was a sudden movement in the Liao Kingdom.
The emperor, who was still somewhat lucky at first, began to panic after the Liao Kingdom officially declared war.
Jiang Shanshan, who didn't know this yet, only knew that Gu Yuan had been getting busier and busier recently. Fortunately, she was not clingy, and she had her own affairs to deal with, so it was not surprising that the two of them would see each other every three to five days.
On this day, Jiang Shanshan finally got the opportunity to go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion. With Li's help these days, Mrs. Jiang's true nature was exposed more and more.
Even several public disputes with Jiang Shanshan reached the ears of the Sixth Prince, so the Sixth Prince could only give Jiang Yuan a message.
Just like this, Jiang Yuan sent a message to invite her to come to the house.
The Sixth Prince actually didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Jiang Yuan was his concubine after all, and Mrs. Jiang was his mother-in-law.
If this continues, he will be the only one who is embarrassed.
In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Shanshan brought the disguised old Taoist priest. He saw the old Taoist priest holding a medium-sized box and standing respectfully behind her.
The old mother who came to welcome you had a smile on her face and said in greeting: "Miss Jiang, how are you? Our concubine heard that you were coming, so we specially asked our slave to come and guide you."
"Oh? How is your concubine doing? There are many affairs in the house, so don't burden her."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss. My concubine is doing well."
Through these few words, Jiang Shanshan understood that Qin Jun should still be in control of this mansion.
No wonder it was Qin Jun's people who came to greet her. Thinking of this, Jiang Shanshan glanced at the mother of the old Taoist priest who was holding the box, smiled slightly, and said: "There are important things in this box. I'm afraid if you bring a maid with you."
She broke it."
"That's right!" Mom's face remained unchanged and she also smiled.
"Although it was the main concubine who invited me here today, I wanted to meet the concubine first. I wonder if my mother could give me a way?"
"This..." Mom looked at the old Taoist priest and saw that he was at least sixty years old, so she agreed.
Originally he came here to remind her of the concubine's existence, but now that he has some sense, it would be better to visit the concubine first.
So, mother took them to a courtyard, which looked exquisite and beautiful from a distance, and even more so when they were inside.
I had long heard that the concubine of Qin loved to grow flowers, make tea, and sing songs. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the exotic flowers and plants that almost filled the entire courtyard.
Glaze and golden light, rockery and flowing water, and hundreds of flowers blooming.
Even Jiang Shanshan couldn't help but think that he had entered some fairyland-like place.
Seeing this, my mother puffed up her chest slightly and said with a bit of pride: "The prince built this specially for us. On weekdays, let alone others, even the concubine is not allowed to come in."
Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows and said very knowingly: "The prince really loves his concubine."
"That's not true." Mom said, pointing to a few more places, and then led them to a pavilion located on a water lily pond.
It was the day when the water lilies were blooming, and large ones were floating on the surface of the pond. The white gauze curtain was gently raised, revealing a graceful figure in the pavilion.
It seems that he is adjusting the sound of the piano, and occasionally one or two clear and clear sounds are heard.
After her mother informed her, Jiang Shanshan raised her skirt and walked up the steps. The gauze curtain was lifted, and she looked at the person sitting behind the stone table.
She has beautiful eyebrows and a beautiful face, and her loose gold gauze and brocade clothes make her even more luxurious and leisurely.
Seeing her, he nodded slightly and said, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Shanshan bowed and then, under the guidance of the maid, sat aside without getting closer.
She didn't care, and just said: "If I hadn't known that this was your residence, I would have thought that I had strayed into some fairyland. It seems that the concubine is really the heart and soul of the Sixth Prince. I'm afraid Jiang Yuan didn't treat her like this!
"
Qin Jun felt a little shy when he heard this.
"How can I, a woman, guess the prince's heart? The so-called love, no one knows which day it will disappear."
These words made Jiang Shanshan look a little sideways, as if he didn't expect that she could have such an understanding.
Qin Jun didn't care, she knew what she wanted and what she should do.
Xiao Xuanzhen loved her well, but there were too many mixed feelings in it, and with his status, he was destined not to give all his love to her alone.
Therefore, she only needs the most unique one. As for how many people Xiao Xuanzhen will have in the future, she will not care.
