After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 133 Returning to Beijing

"Why did you suddenly say that you are going back to Beijing early? Did something happen in the capital?" Xie Chen asked suspiciously after hearing this.

According to the previous regulations, the departure should be tomorrow afternoon, why is it a full day earlier.

Gu Hengyu was called away by the emperor to discuss this matter in the morning. He said that the person who discovered Nanchu in the capital was still...

Seeing Gu Hengyu's expression, Xie Chen knew that this matter should be quite serious, and it's not suitable to talk about it here.

Princess Yongzhao and Cheng Ying are not fools, so they naturally wouldn't ask too many questions. Before Gu Hengyu could answer, they went back to sort out the things they were going to bring back to Beijing.

Gu Hengyu left Shen Yuzhi and followed Xie Chen, saying that Xie Chen had too many things and wanted to help her.

"Have you finished packing your things?" Xie Chen looked at Gu Hengyu and asked.

Gu Hengyu nodded and said, "I don't bring many things."

Men are different from women. In addition to clothes and some necessities, women will also bring their favorite jewelry, rouge, gouache, and some small items when they go out.

Xie Chen nodded after hearing this, and did not continue talking.

After experiencing what happened in front of the cave last time, the relationship between the two is closer than before. Even if they didn't talk along the way, they didn't feel anything. Instead, they liked the tranquility when they were alone.

After walking to the bedroom and closing the door, Xie Chen turned around and looked at Gu Hengyu and asked, "Can you tell me what happened in the capital now?"

Just now, even when there was no one on the road, Xie Chen didn't ask about it, for fear of accidentally being overheard by interested people.

"The four princes of Southern Chu entered the capital secretly, were found out, and reported to the emperor." Gu Hengyu didn't hide it anymore, and said it directly.

A shocked and somewhat complicated expression appeared on Xie Chen's face.

Perhaps Gu Hengyu was called to discuss countermeasures as soon as the news reached the emperor's ears, and that's why he made the decision to return to Beijing early.

Now Yanzhao, Nanchu, and Xiliang are trading with each other, and it is surprising that people from the other two countries appear in each country.

It would be fine if the fourth prince of Southern Chu was an idle prince, but everyone in the world knew that the current emperor of Southern Chu had abolished the prince for the sake of these four princes, and let him go to court in his place.

Now he entered Beijing secretly, his mind is unpredictable.

As for the expressions on Xie Chen's face other than the shock, it's because she is too familiar with the Fourth Prince of Southern Chu, Nan Helin.

In the previous life, the person who told Yan Yichen to thank Chen to become a concubine in Nanchu was Nan Helin.

Not surprisingly, at the end of the year, the emperor of Nanchu will suddenly die suddenly, and Nan Helin will ascend to the throne smoothly.

Looking at the expression on Xie Chen's face, Gu Hengyu realized that Nan Helin also played an important role in Xie Chen's previous life.

Gu Hengyu walked to Xie Chen's side, reached out to hold Xie Chen's hand tightly.

The warmth in his hands spread to Xie Chen, who came back to his senses and looked up at Gu Hengyu with a smile on his face.

Gu Hengyu lowered his head and took a deep look at Xie Chen, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Xie Chen's cheek.

"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh." Gu Hengyu saw Xie Chen standing up in front of him, feeling pity in his heart.

Originally, when Xie Chen thought about this, he still felt uncomfortable, but when he was interrupted by Gu Hengyu's actions, most of his depression disappeared.

Xie Chen stared at him and said angrily, "I'm talking, don't touch me."

Seeing that Xie Chen's mood finally improved, Gu Hengyu nodded in response to her words.

Before Xie Chen came in, he ordered Yinhuan to pack his things, and it was estimated that he would have to wait for half an hour.

"You were called by the emperor to discuss this morning, you probably haven't had time to eat, here are some snacks." Xie Chen called Gu Hengyu to sit at the tea table.

Following Xie Chen's words, Gu Hengyu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth.

Neither of them spoke anymore, Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen and waited for her to speak.

Xie Chen knew what Gu Hengyu meant. He just heard Nan Helin's name, and Gu Hengyu would definitely notice her reaction.

It's just that she doesn't know what to say to make Gu Hengyu less worried about her.

"In the previous life, Nan He came to him..." Xie Chen opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue.

Gu Hengyu looked at her, and put his hand on Xie Chen's.

"It's okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, everything that is not good for you in this life will never happen again."

Seeing Xie Chen's hesitation, Gu Hengyu didn't want to uncover her scars again.

"Yeah." Xie Chen grabbed Gu Hengyu with his backhand and nodded with a smile.

After everything was ready, everyone who came to Autumn Hunting embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

Xie Chen still stayed in the carriage with Princess Yongzhao.

Although she and Gu Hengyu were seen by Princess Yongzhao last night, knowing that Yongzhao is not a talkative person, Xie Chen is not worried.

"Yong Zhao, what do you think of the crown prince and the third prince?" Xie Chen asked suddenly while chatting with Princess Yong Zhao.

The current relationship between Princess Yongzhao and Xie Chen can be regarded as very familiar, even though the question was asked abruptly, she didn't think it was a problem.

"Well, compared to the prince's brother, the third brother and I actually don't have much contact."

Princess Yongzhao thought for a while and answered truthfully.

The prince is friendly, and Yong Zhao herself has always been close to the queen, so she naturally has more contact with the prince.

Although the outside world also said that the third brother is very good at dealing with people, but she just feels that Yong Zhao is not easy to get close to.

Xie Chen nodded and understood the meaning behind Yong Zhao's words.

She asked Yong Zhao this because she suddenly remembered some details of her previous life.

Nan Helin proposed to marry Princess Yongzhao at the beginning, and Yan Yichen naturally agreed, hoping to establish a relationship with Nanchu soon.

It's just that Yong Zhao didn't know what trick she used Yan Yichen to make Yan Yichen withdraw her thoughts.

But in the end, Yong Zhao didn't stay in the palace anymore, but went to the temple to shave his hair and become a nun.

Xie Chen lowered his eyes when he thought of the lively, smiling and innocent girl in front of him who spent the second half of his previous life with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

Judging by Xie Han's performance recently, the two of them will definitely not enter the ending of their previous life again.

Back to Beijing was originally the same arrangement as when I came to the palace, and I would stay at the inn for the next night.

But this time he returned to Beijing in a hurry, not to mention that the speed of the carriage doubled on the way, and he also canceled the stay at the inn at night.

By the time we arrived at the gate of the capital, it was completely dark and it was almost midnight.

Xie Chen couldn't bear the sleepiness, so he closed his eyes to rest while on the road.

It was the knocking sound coming from outside the carriage and sedan chair that made Xie Chen slowly open his eyes.

On the way, when the road surface was unstable, there would be bumps to some extent. Xie Chen didn't sleep well all the way.

After waking up, her mind was still groggy. Seeing that Princess Yongzhao was still closing her eyes, she instinctively lifted the curtain in front of her, planning to go down and talk.

Gu Hengyu caught her outside, seeing her sleepy eyes, with a smile on her lips.
