She understood the meaning of this sentence. Only by keeping safe can King Jing save his life, otherwise...
Now that he is in Dongyou, it is too easy for the prince and princess of Dongyou to kill him. They don't even worry about causing Dayong's dissatisfaction. Then they only need to make an excuse, saying that King Jing himself died of illness or had an accident on the way back.
What could Emperor Dayong say? What could he dare to say?
Does anyone dare to question Dongyou Xingshi?
Gu Qingyan has always been low-key in Dayong, not as ostentatious as Wu Jingyi, but she has enough brains, and smarter people often know how to be low-key.
It was not difficult for her to distinguish the situation. She knew that Yun Zishu should have had a perfect plan before coming to Dongyou to get married, and it was too late to do anything at this time.
But I still felt a little unwilling in my heart.
Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes. If King Jing can successfully ascend the throne, the Gu family will at least be the uncle's family. In the future, when her aunt becomes the queen mother, the Gu family will be more honorable and prominent than the Wu family in the past.
Her father was in charge of the Gyeonggi Guard and held military power. King Jing would have a greater chance of winning as heir apparent than others. With the support of the emperor, King Jing's accession to the throne was almost certain.
But all this was ruined because he escorted Yun Zishu to come to get married.
If Gu Qingyan had seen Yun Zishu's plan, she would have asked her father to stop him at all costs. Even at the risk of offending the Queen Mother, she would have stopped King Jing from coming to Dongyou.
But money can’t buy it, I already knew it.
Gu Qingyan sighed silently and couldn't help but wonder, could this be God's will?
Looking at Yun Zishu walking slowly in front of her, Gu Qingyan stopped and asked, "May I meet my cousin?"
Yun Zishu turned around and smiled gently: "Let's do it another day. In a few days, I will go to Guanyi and someone will ask you to come with me."
"Yes." Gu Qingyan nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Princess."
It doesn't matter whether Yun Zishu really wants to go to Guanyi, or just to prevent her from meeting King Jing alone. Gu Qingyan knows that she doesn't have three heads and six arms, and it is impossible to do anything on Dongyou's territory by herself.
.
The power of the Prince's Mansion was not something that a woman like her could contend with.
Gu Qingyan suppressed the gloominess in her heart, knelt down and saluted: "My maid, please retire."
Yun Zishu asked the maid to send her out, while she stood on the path, quietly watching Gu Qingyan's back.
"Your Highness." Leng Yue came over, "Do you need me to keep an eye on her?"
"No need." Yun Zishu shook her head, turned around and walked to the pavilion to sit down, "Gu Qingyan is a smart person who knows the pros and cons and will not be as stupid as Wu Jingyi."
There will definitely be reluctance, and there will also be regrets. After all, besides being Gu Qingyan's cousin, whether King Jing can ascend the throne as emperor in the future is also related to the honor of the Gu family.
But no matter regret or unwillingness, it won't help, it won't change anything. Gu Qingyan should understand this. Under the current situation, it is the wisest decision for her to live a stable life, otherwise she will be seeking death.
"yes."
Yun Zishu stopped thinking about Gu Qingyan and King Jing. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the scenery in the garden, but what she was thinking about was the dream that often appeared in the past two nights.
For several days in a row, every night after I fell asleep, I would have some strange dreams. Some fragments appeared intermittently in the dream. The face of the person in the dream was not clear, and only a sad voice shouted over and over: "Shu Shu, Shu Shu, Shu Shu"
…”
She didn't know who that person was. She even forgot most of the scene in her dream when she woke up the first two times. But these two nights, she seemed to be able to feel the sorrow and joy of the person in the dream. Every time she heard that voice, she felt...
I feel like my heart is tightening and uncomfortable.
Yun Zishu's eyes were slightly blurred, and she had already begun to wonder what this dream had to do with her. She couldn't say that she remembered everything she had experienced from childhood to adulthood, but she had never experienced any memory deviation on important matters.
So what’s the secret hidden in this?
Also, Sicang's reaction in the past two days was also a little unusual.
Yun Zishu held her chin and couldn't help but think of what Sicang said the day she first arrived in the border town. He said that every time she came to Dongyou, she felt like revisiting her old place, and asked her if she felt this way.
She is the legitimate princess of Dayong. She has never left Dayong Imperial City in Dalian since she was a child. How could she ever feel like revisiting Dongyou?
Yun Zishu frowned, and a woman's keen intuition began to take effect at this time. The first thing she thought of was, when Sicang asked her this question, was he pretending to be casual, or was it really just a casual question?
Is he insisting on making her the regent queen of Dongyou to familiarize her with world affairs in advance and accumulate regent experience so that she can prepare to take over Dayong in the future, or is there some other reason?
There are actually many things about Sicang that are puzzling. Before, Yun Zishu was too lazy to think about it. If he wanted to say something, he would say it. If he didn't want to say something, he wouldn't. She didn't want to force him.
But now Yun Zishu found that there seemed to be more and more mysteries, so many that they were guiding her step by step to find the truth.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here." Leng Yue's voice sounded, replacing Yun Zishu who was in a state of confusion.
Yun Zishu turned around and looked, and saw a tall figure walking quickly outside the garden. From a distance, she could feel the sharp aura as sharp as a sword, and her intimidating aura that could not be ignored.
Yun Zishu looked at him quietly, and Sicang quickly arrived in front of her, her eyes turned gentle and soft: "Your Highness."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows and said in a voice as lazy as a cat: "Sicang, why do you like to call me 'Your Highness' so much?"
Si Cang was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly: "It's so smooth."
"Obviously we are already husband and wife, we should have changed our words long ago."
Si Cang hummed, his voice a little more intimate: "Shu'er."
"Gu Qingyan came just now."
"I know." Si Cang sat down next to her. He knew the purpose of her visit without even thinking about it. "She wants to see King Jing?"
Yun Zishu hummed and said, "Prince Jing will be under house arrest for the time being. When a suitable time comes, I will take Gu Qingyan to see him."
Sicang has no objection.
"After seeing him, give him another place. Guanyi is not a place where people can be locked up for a long time." Yun Zishu turned her head and looked into the depths of the garden, her voice indifferent, "If you keep him locked up for a year and a half, Emperor Dayong should be worried.
, maybe we will arrange for the envoy to come over again."
Sicang stared at her profile, and the depressed emotion could be heard in his deep voice: "Your Highness has not had much rest in the past two days, do you want to go back and catch up on your sleep?"
"Aren't you busy today?" Yun Zishu turned to look at him, "Why are you back so early?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment: "My husband heard some news outside and wanted to tell you."
Yun Zishu was curious: "What news?"
"Situ Wan." Sicang's voice was calm, "She was beaten by Marquis Zhongyi."
