late night song

Chapter 245
Two hours ago, Princess Helan quietly entered the back door of Prince Jingchuan's palace.

"Aunt Helan, why are you dressed up like this?" Ling Buhuo looked at Princess Helan, who was dressed in low-key clothes and looked panicked.

"Please apologize to King Jingchuan."

"Excuse me? My aunt is serious."

"I know where General Yuchi is?" Princess Helan didn't want to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Where is it?" Ling Buhuo stood up for a moment, then sat down calmly, "Could it be the rumored Prince's Mansion?!"

Princess Helan didn't expect that Ling Buhuo would see clearly what she wanted to do. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and said quickly: "It's not a rumor, it's that the prince has arrested General Yuchi."

"Aunt Helan, what you say is unfounded. If the prince arrests someone, he will always hide it from others. Why would aunt know about it?!" Ling Buhuo asked unhurriedly.

"I was assigned to conduct the Hanguang Ceremony. The Crown Prince asked me to unseal the Yuegui swords and invite General Yuchi to be the Jiarouzi. When the sword was struck, palm oil was applied to the sword body in advance to create the illusion of cutting off the flow, and then the sword test was arranged. The general was injured, creating the illusion that the sword spirit was uneasy, which aroused the king's taboo. Unexpectedly, she and you both resolved the crisis unexpectedly, but failed. Immediately afterwards, at the celebration banquet, the prince ordered me to poison General Yuchi's wine. Then in the name of sobering up, I tied her up."

Princess Helan dragged out all the deals at once, without any reservation, and she did not even try to defend herself.

"Why did the prince do this?"

Ling Buhuo's tone became colder, and he suppressed the anger in his heart. Then he calmed down, as if he knew the answer, and then continued: "Ji Huan works for the prince. I'm afraid it was his aunt's instruction. Since my aunt is dedicated to assisting the prince, Why do you come to my house today to talk about this? If the prince knows, how will my aunt and Ji Huan gain a foothold in the prince's house in the future?"

"I"

Princess Helan's thoughts were seen through, and she was speechless for a moment. She didn't want to offend the prince and seek death, but Nuoda threatened her with the file and forced her to say everything was a victim. The prince ordered her, otherwise she would be in danger immediately before the prince took action.

Fortunately, according to the current situation, the successor was either the prince or the king of Jingchuan, so she continued to do nothing and turned to Ling Buhuo, thinking that if Ji He could be supported to the throne of the queen in the future, as the new emperor's aunt, she would be the new emperor's aunt. The second-born mother can still be rich and powerful, and hold great power.

No matter what happens, both sides will be offended, the two tigers will fight each other, the situation will become more and more chaotic, and her idea will be even less worth mentioning in front of Guo Ben.

"I was forced. You know Ji He's thoughts. How could the prince not understand? So he threatened me with Ji Huan's future and forced me to draw a clear line with the Jingchuan Palace. Not only that, he also wanted me Spread the news that General Yuchi was an abandoned concubine of King Qin in the past, so that the Jingchuan Palace and Dong Qi could be related and arouse the King's suspicion."

Princess Helan paused and raised her eyes to glance at Ling Buhuo's expression. She had just learned about Gu Yuchu's past in Dongqi, so she took this opportunity to spread it out. She hated Gu Yuchu because of the grudge against Gu Yuchu's mother. Come on. It is natural to make good use of such news.

Seeing Ling Buhuo's serious eyebrows, she continued to pretend to be pitiful: "As an aunt, although I am willing to assist the prince, I am just an ignorant woman. These are all going to shake the country. I really don't have the courage."

"My aunt cares about the world so much. Why didn't she go directly to Ziyan Palace to tell my father? Instead, she came to me in the opposite direction to tell the truth."

Ling Buhuo said the word "reporter" in a neither light nor serious way, but he was not polite.

"The prince has always been absurd, and everyone in the court is accustomed to doing outrageous things. Your Majesty has indulged him many times in the past ten years. At present, this situation has not formed a big trend. Whether the prince's actions will cause your dissatisfaction depends on your Majesty. If I act rashly according to my own thoughts, it will become like me guessing the holy will. Moreover, General Yuchi's life is still in the hands of the prince, how can you..."

Princess Helan glanced at Ling Buhuo again, and then said provocatively: "Of course, if the time comes and King Jingchuan needs me to enter the palace to meet the emperor, I will naturally not back down."

"Thank you aunt for your understanding and righteousness. With the news about General Yuchi, I know better." Ling Buhuo understood the meaning of Princess Helan's words, softened his tone, said thank you and saw off the guest.

But Princess Helan was hesitant. She dragged the prince and defected to King Jingchuan, but she did not get Ling Buhuo's express permission to take him under his wing and protect him.

"Don't worry, aunt. I will never forget your kindness today." Ling Buhuo walked outside the corridor and promised.

She was obviously not satisfied with this response, but Princess Helan didn't dare to go too far. She hesitated for a moment and had to retreat.

There was a drizzle outside the corridor. Ling Buhuo smiled lightly and said with a hint of concern: "It's windy and rainy outside, so I'll be careful when walking. The carriage is under the eaves of Jingchuan Prince's Mansion, so it won't get wet."

Princess Helan did not look back, she just paused for a moment. When she started again, the huge stone in her heart completely dropped.

When Shu Yuan saw the person walking away, he hurriedly asked Ling Buhuo, who was thoughtful, "My lord, do you believe it?"

"What do you think?" Ling Buhuo stood in front of the corridor, stretched out his hand to rub the fine drizzle, and asked leisurely.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

"Call some men. Without unloading the weapons, let's go to the Prince's Mansion. If we don't show our faces, we might let down the feelings of others."

Hence, there were hot rumors in the small teahouse just now, but no one knew what happened in the Prince's Mansion.It was a coincidence that after Ling Buhuo left the Prince's Mansion, news came that General Yuchi had appeared.

On Gu Yuchu's end, as soon as she arrived at the post house to take up her post, Nuoda hurried over to see her.

"where did you go?"

"Are you concerned about me?"

"Of course."

"why?"

"Because I like you."

"what."

"So, where have you been?"

"I went to American Express Bank to withdraw money."

"Been here for so long? How much money do I need to pay?"

"One article."

"One article?" Nuoda looked surprised.

Gu Yuchu smiled faintly, feeling absolutely certain that this man was not Qi frame.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that since she said goodbye to Tongcheng, she had trampled on Qi Jian's pride under her feet.That person who valued his self-esteem as much as his life would never be able to welcome her into her dreams even if he had stars on his pillow, let alone come all the way to Yunjing to say such stupid things to her again.

But she was still afraid of his paranoia and madness as an emperor, so even if she had the answer in her mind, she had to confirm it again.

"Stop joking, okay? Are you sick?" Nuoda asked with concern and touched her forehead.

Gu Yuchu looked at him for a long time with a half-smile but not a smile. This man really looked like him, and he was a hundred times more sincere to her than he was.But Nuoda is related to Sunda Shadow after all, and most of the rumors outside are probably made by him. The situation in life is really strange. She always has to stand on the opposite side of him and people like him.

At the moment, both of them are as clear as a mirror. They are just waiting for the other side to attack first.

Although Nuoda's identity was exposed, Gu Yu was born in Dongqi, came from the Xunmen, and served the King of Qin. Although he now became Hehe and joined Beiling, he could not forget his roots.Even though she knew Xunying's mission in Beiling, she was her former employer after all, so she had to leave some room for it.

"Of course I'm not sick." The woman calmed down and then replied angrily.

"Then where have you been? Could it be that you were really captured by the prince?"

"Prince? How is that possible?"

Gu Yuchu denied it flatly. She knew that these rumors were just an attempt to stir up a war between the Jingchuan Palace and the Prince's Palace. She also knew that this storm was inevitable in the end, but she did not want it to be caused by her own willfulness this time. . "Then where have you been?" Nuoda asked reluctantly.

"I drank too much and fell asleep for three days and three nights." The woman made up a lie casually.

"Where did you sleep?"

"Wake up and sleep in the corner tower of Ziyan Palace."

"It's a big sin for you to stay in the Forbidden Palace! Since you can't drink, why are you so greedy?!" Nuoda stepped forward and complained in a low voice. Only then did Gu Yuchu realize that he had made a mistake, but lying is like this. Once he opens his mouth, he can't redeem.

"It would be nice if you didn't tell others." She blinked pretending to be innocent.

"The whole city knows that you are missing. There are rumors that the prince kidnapped you. How can I put it to rest without telling you?"

"Don't believe the rumors." She waved her hand and didn't care.

"Prince Jingchuan personally took people to the Prince's Mansion to ask for someone. Many people on the street saw it with their own eyes. This time, even if it is false, it has become true."

"What?! He really went?"

Gu Yuchu's eyes widened. She originally thought that the hot news in the teahouse was just a rumor, and it was just a rumor. How could such a cautious person do such an impulsive thing? But the reality was like this, and she realized that this time she Something really happened.

She thought about it for a while and decided that she had caused the matter, so it was better to take the initiative to plead guilty in order to calm the turmoil. But then a message came from the palace, asking her to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. It seemed that this matter finally disturbed Lao Ling. King.

"I'll go with you." Gu Yuchu accepted the order and didn't dare to neglect. He set off immediately, but Nuoda stopped him and insisted on accompanying her.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, your duty is mainly to protect us. I am naturally qualified to speak. When the time comes, you will say that you are doing things for me." Nuoda spoke sincerely. If Gu Yuchu didn't know his details, he might not believe those outside. The buzz about his personal biography has nothing to do with him.

"Don't be stupid. It will take three days and three nights to do something for you. Your Majesty won't believe it."

"But my intercession will always have some effect."

Gu Yuchu also wanted to know what Nuoda would do at the critical moment, whether to add insult to injury or to help him with all his strength, so he stopped insisting and finally, the two of them entered Ziyan Palace together.

The door of Old Ling Wang's study room was open, and they saw from a distance that there were two people with the same figure and appearance standing inside, one was the prince and the other was King Jingchuan.

When Ling Buhuo saw Gu Yuchu and Nuo Da together again, the anger in his heart rose again unconsciously.

Before Gu Yuchu could salute, Prince Ling Ziyu took the lead and said provocatively: "General Yuchi is such a big driver. He has been missing for three days and three nights. If it were any later, King Jingchuan might have demolished the Prince's Mansion."

"I have done something wrong, please punish me." Gu Yuchu knelt down and accepted the punishment without any nonsense.

"The world has evaporated for three days, and you still know how to apologize!" Old King Ling swept his eyes coldly, very sharply.

"I don't drink much. I got very drunk at the celebration banquet and fell asleep in the corner tower of Ziyan Palace for three days and three nights."

Gu Yuchu readily confessed, but Old King Ling didn't say anything. He just glanced at the eunuch beside him. He instantly understood what the king meant. He lowered his head and raised his waist, speaking on behalf of Old Ling King.

"On the night of the banquet, the guard on duty said that he saw General Yuchi leaving the palace gate with his own eyes, and it was clearly recorded in the record."

Gu Yuchu yelled in his heart that something was wrong. If he had known that it was somewhere outside the palace gate, he could have dealt with the palace forbidden record file. But now, he could only bite the bullet and compile it down. So she opened it again calmly. Finished.

"When I woke up this morning, I really didn't know anything about what happened before I got drunk. I only found that I had lost my waist badge. Maybe someone else picked it up and picked it up by mistake when I passed the guard. The guard thought it was me."

"There are only a few female generals in our Beiling Kingdom. Even if the palace guards have never seen the world, they can still tell them apart. I think General Yuchi is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a eloquent one." Ling Ziyu mocked.

"Everything I said is true."

Gu Yuchu was very sure. In fact, it could be said that she returned to Hehe for inspection at the request of King Jingchuan. No matter how displeased Ling Buhuo was, they would definitely help her out. However, the matter of asking for someone in the Prince's Mansion had already happened. She would do this again. , Ling Buhuo is just a thief shouting to catch a thief, causing much trouble over nothing.

But she knew that in the current situation, if she still found this excuse, Ling Buhuo would grit his teeth and bear the burden for herself, but she couldn't trap him in injustice, and she didn't want him to lose Lao Ling because of such a trivial matter. King's trust.

Therefore, only by taking this sin on his own shoulders can the storm be calmed down.

"Even if the person is back and there is no big trouble, I think this matter will end here." Ling Buhuo spoke at the right time, intending to smooth over the matter.

"That's not what my brother said when he came to my house today." Ling Ziyu smiled, obviously unwilling to let it go.

He then laid out the military law, which was obviously to punish Gu Yuchu.

"As the commander-in-chief of an army, my brother is naturally familiar with military law. Leaving one's post without permission during the march is a capital offense. If one leaves one's post without permission during the march, he will receive a hundred military sticks and be transported for a thousand miles. General Yuchi is a second-grade military prince. Even if he is sentenced to half the punishment, he will have to travel for at least five hundred miles and be beaten with fifty military sticks."

Ling Buhuo was very displeased when he saw the prince taking the initiative so seriously, but with the military law laid out, he had no way to refute.

At this time, Nuoda seized the opportunity and interceded for Gu Yuchu first.

"Since General Yuchi has been guarding the post house, he has not failed to do his duty for a day and a night. The carefully arranged patrol has been seamless. Only with his protection can the Eleven Blackwater clan enjoy many days of peaceful sleep. I hope that you will be successful in guarding him. For the sake of the emperor, I have done my best. At the celebration banquet, everyone was very happy and encouraged to come forward. Although General Yuchi was brave on the battlefield, he was a woman who was not very drunk after all. I heard that the ancients in the East were bold and unrestrained. After being drunk, It is also common to fall asleep for many days. Your Majesty is extremely kind, and I hope you will be dealt with lightly."

It was indeed unexpected by Gu Yuchu that Nuoda would defend her like this.

"It is true that General Yuchi ignored military law and left his post due to drunkenness, but it did not cause a major disaster. He He immediately surrendered, and the remaining old people followed her lead. If he was punished for such a trivial matter, He He might be hurt. The hearts of the people. But she is my subordinate. It is my fault that I restrained my subordinates. I am willing to accept the fifty military sticks in place of General Yuchi. I hope my father will allow me."

Ling Buhuo spoke sincerely and acted in the direction of Hehe and the people without shirking his own responsibilities. He did not break military regulations and blocked the punishment for Gu Yuchu.

"I will bear all my faults and do not want to injure others."

"I am also willing to accept the punishment on General Yuchi's behalf." Seeing that Gu Yuchu did not accept Ling Buhuo's feelings, Nuo Da quickly agreed, and Ling Buhuo secretly clenched his fists in anger.

"It's really touching to see such mutual sympathy." Ling Ziyu snorted. He also saw his brother's displeasure and followed up with a last strike.

"Wherever the military law is, if there is no punishment, it will be difficult to establish military discipline. There is no precedent for punishment on behalf of others since ancient times."

The old King Ling paused and rejected all the proposals of Ling Buhuo and Nuo Da. Then he thought for a long time, taking into account Gu Yuchu's irreplaceable mission and the hard work in recent days, and then said:

"Yu Chi Yuchu left his post without authorization. He thought that he had done something good and it was his first offense, and it didn't cause any trouble. He went down and got twenty military sticks to serve as a warning to others."

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Gu Yuchu did not hesitate and immediately thanked him and accepted the order.

"As for King Jingchuan, he was at fault for not restraining his subordinates. He will be fined for half a year and personally supervise the execution." Old King Ling narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision, then waved his hand to signal for everyone to push him down.

Although Ling Ziyu was dissatisfied with this result, he was unable to change it. However, both Gu Yuchu and Ling Buhuo were punished and relieved, so they strode out of the hall first with a proud stride.

Gu Yuchu smiled at Nuo Da, and Nuo Da winked and sighed softly. Ling Buhuo frowned coldly and left without saying a word to Gu Yuchu.
