There were seats on three sides of the carriage. Gu Hanzhang sat in the middle, Chaoli and Linglong were on each side, and they sat face to face.
Sitting where Gu Hanzhang was, what he saw were the profiles of Chaoli and Linglong.
Gu Hanzhang lowered his eyelids and suppressed the unexpected emotion in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Neither Chaoli nor Linglong noticed the difference in Gu Hanzhang's complexion. They were talking enthusiastically, discussing around the eldest princess.
"It doesn't matter. Maybe we can't find it in the capital, somewhere else. But how did your eldest princess from the west disappear, and why do you think she would come to other countries?" Chaoli asked curiously.
Linglong now no longer regards Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang as outsiders at all, and says everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
"This matter was actually a big deal thirty-one years ago. The entire Xilin Imperial City was surrounded on three levels, inside and outside, just to find out where the eldest princess was. Unfortunately, the soldiers searched for more than a month.
The eldest princess was not found, and the queen became seriously ill because of it. The second child in the family was not saved because the queen was too sad, but she did not give up the search."
"Later, the soldiers traced a kidnapper's den. Several of the kidnappers were caught and a dozen little girls were found, but they still could not find the eldest princess. The little girl who was also abducted said that she saw a beautiful little girl.
But because of her outstanding appearance, she had already been bought. As a result, the queen had to expand the search scope to the entire Xilin country. Xilin country ranked second. After searching for several years, she still could not find the eldest princess. The queen only
I can keep this matter deep in my heart.”
"Actually, the Queen is a very devoted person. She only has one royal husband and does not have any male concubines. All her children belong to that royal husband. The Queen manages Xilin very well. She is very courageous and very
He has the means, reduces taxes, and works hard to govern. Any people who mention the queen will respect him. Now that the emperor's husband is seriously ill, he mentioned the eldest princess. In addition, the eldest princess is also here, so the desire to find the eldest princess is even greater. It just so happens.
After encountering the high priest's divination before his death, he guessed that the eldest princess was in the capital of Daqi."
After listening quietly, Chaoli felt very fond of the Queen from Xilin and believed that she must be an outstanding woman. Unfortunately, the Queen was far away in Xilin, otherwise it would be great to meet her.
Gu Hanzhang suddenly interrupted, "Go to the medical clinic first."
Chaoli and Linglong didn't say anything more. Now that they had figured out the purpose of Linglong being hunted, these were all digressions.
Not long after, Pei Yu found a hospital and carefully sent Qiu Shuang inside.
Linglong was worried about Qiu Shuang, and she was also injured, so she went in with Qiu Shuang for diagnosis and treatment.
Chaoli and Gu Hanzhang were waiting in the front hall of the hospital. They sat and drank tea in silence, each with their own thoughts and neither saying anything to the other.
Suddenly, a young man in brocade clothes walked in at the door.
"Doctor, quickly get me a bottle of medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis to treat bruises." The visitor shouted as he entered.
"Little general?" Chaoli said.
Only then did Gu Hanzhang look up and found that it was Xuecheng.
Xuecheng also saw Gu Hanzhang and Chaoli, "It turns out they are the prince and his concubine. What a coincidence that we met them in the medical clinic."
As for whether he felt uncomfortable somewhere, Xue Cheng didn't ask much. The main reason was that Chaoli was here and he was afraid that he would ask something that shouldn't be asked and embarrass both parties.
If it were Cheng Feng, he would definitely ask.
"General Xue was injured?" Gu Hanzhang suddenly said.
Xue Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, I accidentally fell while hiding from someone. My legs are bruised and very painful. I just came here to get some bruise medicine."
As soon as Chaoli looked at him, he knew that this so-called accidental fall must have something to do with Gao Rui.
"I'm afraid the young general will have to wait a moment. The doctor and his daughter have entered the inner room. They are bandaging the wounds of Linglong and Qiu Shuang," Chao Li said.
At this moment, Xue Cheng looked around, seemingly looking at someone.
After hearing Chao Li's words, he waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just wait." Xue Cheng lowered his head uncomfortably.
Seeing him like this, Chaoli didn't ask any more questions. He had nothing to do with her.
Gu Hanzhang, on the other hand, took a deep look at Xue Cheng, then withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and fell asleep, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, the curtain in the inner room was lifted, and the doctor and her daughter walked out first. Linglong walked behind them, while Pei Yu supported Qiu Shuang and walked behind Linglong.
"How is it?" Gu Hanzhang asked.
Xue Cheng was looking down and thinking wildly. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and saw Linglong and the other three walking out. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Linglong smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me, your prince. Fortunately, your prince arrived in time. Neither Qiu Shuang nor I was injured. We can just recover for a while. Qiu Shuang's injuries are much more serious than mine, and we can't use force for this month."
You need to take care of yourself."
"That's good." Gu Hanzhang nodded.
In fact, he knew from the beginning that Linglong and Qiu Shuang's lives were not in danger. Now that he came here to let the doctor treat their injuries, he was just diverting Chaoli's attention.
Linglong is a man after all, and he is not willing to have a pleasant conversation with Chao Li, even in front of him.
If Chaoli knew Gu Hanzhang's thoughts, he would be speechless.
How could she have such a happy conversation with Linglong?
He was obviously interested in the affairs of Queen Xilin, so he asked a few more questions, not to mention that Gu Hanzhang was there from beginning to end, so there could be nothing wrong with her.
"I'm really sorry to ask the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to accompany me and Qiu Shuang. Next, Qiu Shuang and I will go back by ourselves. They shouldn't attack us again. After all, they failed just now and the news hasn't spread yet.
I won’t bother you two anymore. I remember that today is the wedding of the second young lady of the imperial court, so you two must also go to the Lin family to watch the ceremony." Linglong said with a smile.
There were outsiders around, so Linglong didn't go into details, but just gave a general idea. The news that he was almost assassinated will spread throughout the capital tomorrow, so he doesn't have to worry if Xue Cheng is still alive.
Gu Hanzhang nodded in agreement, "Okay, my wife and I are planning to go to the Lin family."
Of course, Linglong understood that this was what Gu Hanzhang said on purpose. After all, if he walked to the Lin family, he would not go around the street to Babaolou.
Gu Hanzhang saved him and Qiu Shuang no matter what, so it was naturally impossible for him to break through these words.
Chaoli looked at Pei Yu and said, "Let's let Pei Yu send you back. Her martial arts is not weak and she can play a certain role. You are in danger today. If they have other arrangements, Pei Yu can be there."
Please take care of me. Someone will definitely come to investigate this matter next. It would be best for Miss Linglong and Qiu Shuang to go out after the limelight is over."
"Thank you for your kindness, Crown Princess. Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful." Linglong said with a slight blessing.
Outside, Linglong is still a girl, so naturally she has to act like a woman.
