Chapter 162 Can't wait
Gu Hengyu handled this matter impeccably, so that no one could find a single mistake.

Gao Kun's crimes are listed there, even if the emperor wanted to save his life, there was nothing he could do.

At noon on the third day, several circles of people surrounded the streets of the vegetable market in Beijing.

Gao Kun knelt in the middle with disheveled hair, lowered his eyebrows and never raised his head, but his whole body exuded a feeling of fearlessness of life and death.

"Is this really the prince? He was beheaded like ordinary people?"

"Yeah, although there have been so many recently..."

Hearing this, the person next to him bumped the speaker with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about it, she is the princess of Xiliang Kingdom, she is very honorable, and she brought Yan Zhao benefit."

After Ben stopped speaking, the man was stunned and closed his mouth resentfully.

With the change of Xie Chen's status, the public's attitude towards this matter also changed very quickly.

Because too much has happened recently, all the things piled up to make everyone distracted.

Xie Chen rejected the letter from the Emperor Xiliang asking her to go to Xiliang.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of being angry, the Xiliang emperor cheerfully said that he would come over in two months.

Xie Chen left the capital on the afternoon when Gao Kun was completely dealt with, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is said that they are accompanying Gu Hengyu to inspect the people in Jiangnan, but friends who are a little closer to the two know that they are accompanying Xie Chen to relax.

The purpose is to stay away from the capital, a place of disputes.

The emperor was busy being sad and didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the queen stood by Xie Chen's side to support her to go out more.

When Xie Chen left the capital, the emperor's body was already not as good as before after this series of events, and he was quite likely to hand over the court to Yan Qing'an.

Yan Qing'an was also learning how to deal with government affairs, and was too busy every day.

Except for the time spent on the road, Xie Chen and Gu Hengyu stayed in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River for a month and a half, traveling around the mountains and rivers every day, as if they wanted to wipe away all the unhappy things.

One morning, the Jiangnan side had just rained, and the sky was still foggy, like a thin veil covering the earth.

A certain house in the small town looked very quiet in the hustle and bustle of the morning market.

Xie Chen still slept like before and didn't get up, but Yinhuan came in and woke her up today as if something was urgent.

"Miss, wake up, outside..." Yinhuan hurriedly said from entering the door to Xie Chen's bed.

Xie Chen was in a deep sleep, and was a little confused when he was suddenly woken up: "What happened outside?"

After coming to Jiangnan, Gu Hengyu arranged all the big and small things, and Xie Chen just followed, which made her less vigilant against the outside world.

Even if he suddenly heard Yinhuan's urgency, Xie Chen didn't care much.

The sky is falling and Gu Hengyu is still holding it up.

Yinhuan saw that her young lady was completely different from the panic she had imagined, and when she thought of Gu Xiaohou's words, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"What's the matter? Where's Gu Hengyu?" Seeing Yinhuan standing there in a daze without speaking, Xie Chen had some doubts in his heart.

Yinhuan simply stopped pretending, with a bitter look on his face.

"Miss, you'd better go and have a look outside." Yinhuan said in a broken jar.

Feeling that nothing major happened outside, Xie Chen got up and washed up briefly, changed into a smoky blue dress and went out.

Jiangnan is hotter than the capital, but it is a water town after all, and the air is slightly humid.

Although Xie Chen didn't apply any makeup on his face, it was better to carve it out naturally, and the hibiscus came out of the clear water.

The smoky blue tulle dress added a lot of coldness and aloofness to her whole person.

Xie Chen walked into the yard and found that it was covered with various kinds of flowers, quietly blooming in the yard.

However, the delicate rose petals inside are all over the ground, as if pointing the way forward, letting Xie Chen step on.

At this time, Xie Chen realized that although it was morning, the yard was not as busy as before, but only her and Yinhuan behind her.

Xie Chen had already vaguely guessed, and the sprouts in his heart broke through the ground, and he couldn't help but ask Yinhuan behind: "Where's Gu Hengyu?"

"Miss, if you step on the petals, you may be able to see them." Yinhuan did not directly answer Xie Chen's question, but said with a smile.

A sense of sweetness rose in Xie Chen's heart, unlike just waking up with a smile on his face.

Xie Chen walked forward along the delicate and beautiful petals. In the garden of the house, he saw Gu Hengyu's back standing with his hands behind his back.

Usually, Gu Hengyu's personality is reserved and low-key, and most of his clothes are mainly dark colors, but before today's change, he was wearing a crescent white brocade robe instead, which looks romantic and suave.

It really answered the phrase "Moshang is like jade, and your son is unparalleled in the world."

Hearing the footsteps behind, Gu Hengyu turned around, her peach blossom eyes were full of affection, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her usually cold temperament disappeared at this moment.

"Why are you so grand today?"

Xie Chen knew what Gu Hengyu was thinking, but now that they were all here, she still held the shy mentality of her daughter and wanted him to say this.

"Can't you see it? I think it's already obvious."

"I'm asking for a kiss."

Gu Hengyu paused for a while between the two sentences, his eyes remained on Xie Chen, and he never left.

"You should go to the prime minister's mansion to ask for marriage, why come to me in the south of the Yangtze River..." Xie Chen deliberately made things difficult.

Without waiting for Xie Chen to finish speaking, Gu Hengyu took a few steps forward, came to Xie Chen, lowered his head and said slowly: "Naturally, you need to nod your head to agree to this matter, how dare I come to the door easily without your consent?"

It was before and it is now.

Gu Hengyu always puts the thoughts of gratitude first.

After Xie Chen heard Gu Hengyu's words, his heart froze for a moment, and the smile on his face became wider.

"I promise you." Xie Chen raised his face and said to Gu Hengyu, with a firm and serious expression.

Tomorrow is going back to Beijing, Gu Hengyu expressed his heart on the Jiangnan side, drawing a perfect end to this period of getting along.

What's more, the close relationship these days makes Xie Chen feel Gu Hengyu's heart more clearly.

In addition to the meticulous care, there is also the hard-won respect in this feudal era.

Gu Hengyu would never interfere with her choice, nor would she stop her.

Even though the two had already been married by the emperor, and Gu Hengyu knew Xie Chen's intentions, but when he heard Xie Chen say that he was willing to agree, his heart still jumped.

Looking at Xie Chen's delicate and beautiful face in front of him, Gu Hengyu felt as if his heart was filled.

Unable to hold back the throbbing in his heart, Gu Hengyu hugged Xie Chen into his arms.

Xie Chen was taken aback by Gu Hengyu's actions, then reached out and hugged Gu Hengyu's waist tightly.

"Gu Hengyu, when did you make the plan?"

Not to mention that this is an unplanned trip to the south of the Yangtze River, it will take some time and effort to bring flowers all over the ground to bloom for her.

"It's very early."

Before everything happened.

But Gu Hengyu didn't tell Xie Chen that the flowers she saw were watered and raised by himself.

As long as it is about gratitude, he is willing to do it himself.
