Many courtiers and some people watching the excitement gathered in the lobby open to the public. Everyone was incredible about the incident of "the prince and his hairpin".
"Jiji? Is the prince actually a princess?"
"How can a woman be the prince? Maybe he is the child he brought back."
"But the child you brought back is about the same age as the eldest princess, and isn't hair extensions a woman's business?"
"What are you yelling about? Can't we just check it out later?"
…
After a while, almost everyone except Hua Ling arrived, and the voices of ministers and people discussing could be heard endlessly.
"Why isn't Xiangqiu here?" Huamu looked around. He personally welcomed Gu Xiangqiu back from the frontier yesterday. Why wasn't he here today?
Suddenly Hong Zao ran over in a hurry, and without stopping she fell in front of the emperor and empress. She stood up and patted the dust off her head and said: "Her Royal Highness was taken away by assassins! But she met General Gu and told him
Then he chased me!"
"What--?!"
Everyone present heard this conversation. Someone in the audience smiled slightly and whispered: "The plan was successful..."
half an hour ago.
When Hua Ling was getting dressed, Hua Beichen was still standing next to her. Hua Ling was chatting with him. After changing her clothes, when Hua Ling turned around, she noticed that the paper window had been poked open and something had been blown.
When they came in, they just realized that they were drugged, and both Hua Ling and Luo She fell into the trap.
The assassin opened the window to check, and after confirming that everyone in the house was stunned, he opened the door and picked up Hua Ling. When he walked out, he was bumped into by Hong Zao, but the assassin did not see Hong Zao.
Hongzao originally came to give Hua Ling the accessories Duanmu Wuxiang had prepared for her, but she saw a masked man walking out of Hua Ling's palace carrying Hua Ling, and soon realized that this man was an assassin.
He quickly hid behind the wide doorpost.
It was at this time that Hongzao saw Gu Xiangqiu, who seemed to be looking for Hua Ling, and quickly told him that Hua Ling had been taken away by an assassin. Gu Xiangqiu chased in the direction of the assassin without saying a word, and reminded Hongzao to inform the emperor and them.
Although Hua Mu had great trust in Gu Xiangqiu's skills, he was very worried about his daughter's safety. He was scratching his head and didn't know what to do, so he ordered the escort to search for Hua Ling.
On Gu Xiangqiu's side, he had been chasing the assassin for quite a while. The man had good physical skills and kept stumbling upon Gu Xiangqiu while escaping.
Gu Xiangqiu was chasing him while thinking about how to stop him. He found a stone, picked it up and hit the assassin accurately on the back of the head. The assassin's hands and feet became inflexible because of the stone, and he tripped himself, and he was about to lift him from the air.
When Hua Ling fell, Gu Xiangqiu hugged the unconscious Hua Ling from his shoulders.
Gu Xiangqiu stood on the roof with Hua Ling in his arms, shook her and called her name again to make sure she was still asleep. Hua Ling didn't respond at all. Gu Xiangqiu frowned and thought, then sighed, there was no other way, first
Let's go back with Hua Ling. Today's banquet cannot be without the protagonist.
Gu Xiangqiu ordered the guards patrolling nearby to escort the assassin away and then took Hua Ling to the lobby.
When Gu Xiangqiu appeared in the lobby with Hua Ling in his arms, Hua Mu was so happy. All the other princes also cried with joy, especially the little princess Hua Yuqin who liked to stick to Hua Ling the most.
Gu Xiangqiu placed Hua Ling on the place arranged by Hua Mu, and helped tidy up the clothes that had been messed up by what happened just now. The unconscious Hua Ling was at the mercy of others, like a rag doll.
Hong Zao stood beside Hua Beichen who was half asleep. Hua Beichen woke up after Hong Zao poured a basin of water on her. Because her clothes were wet, she had to change her clothes and come back a little later than when Gu Xiangqiu brought Hua Ling back.
Quite a bit.
Hua Mu then coughed a few times and announced that the banquet had officially begun.
Speeches, gifts, and words came one after another. Hua Mu gave Hua Ling the word "Wushuang", Hua Ling, Hua Wushuang, maybe it's a good name.
In the late afternoon, Hua Ling woke up in a daze.
By this time, the banquet was almost over, and Hua Beichen carried Hua Ling to the garden to bask in the sun. Hua Ling walked to the pond in the garden and washed her face with the water. When she became more awake, she realized that Hua Beichen had been standing by her side.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three hours."
"Did anyone enter the room while I was unconscious?"
"Yes, I took you away."
"Took me away? Then why am I still here? Didn't you faint too?"
"It was Gu Xiangqiu who brought you back."
"Is that so? The party is over?"
"yes."
Hua Ling sat on the grass and thought for a while, then she caught a glimpse of Hua Shuo and Hua Yuqin walking from a distance. Hua Ling stood up, patted her clothes and walked forward. Hua Yuqin saw Hua Ling walking towards her,
He happily threw himself on Hua Ling.
Hua Shuo greeted the two of them and sat in the pavilion in the garden. Hua Beichen also stood in the pavilion. Before coming to the garden, Hua Shuo asked Hong Zao to bring some pastries. At this time, Hong Zao had already placed the delicious pastries on the pavilion.
On the stone table.
"I just went to interrogate the assassin who wanted to take you away today, but he failed to reveal the real culprit. In the end, he committed suicide by swallowing poison." Hua Shuo took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and her thumbs were moving.
Rubbing the rim of the cup, "But the assassin has the mark of the Nuo Kingdom on his body, but I can't be sure that the assassin is a Nuo people."
"Father said that Nuo people are all greedy for money. Even if we can confirm that the assassin who took my sister away is a Nuo people, we can't be sure that the real murderer behind the scenes is a Nuo people. After all, the assassins only use money to do things." Hua Yuqin ate.
As Cai Guang spoke, there were a lot of crumbs on her mouth, Hua Ling wiped her with a handkerchief, Hua Yuqin also rubbed Hua Ling's hand, "By the way, sister, do you know the name your father gave you?
"
Hua Ling put away the handkerchief and looked at Hua Yuqin questioningly: "What is it?"
"'Wushuang'." Hua Shuo held her chin and looked at her two sisters kindly, "What an interesting word, right?"
"...This name is obsolete in modern times." Hua Ling always feels sorry for his status as "a person who was once in the 21st century" at this time. If he only has the memory of being in ancient times, he said
Maybe you will like this word very much. Wushuang, to put it bluntly, it means unique. Who wouldn’t want a name like this?
"You can't let your father feel cold. But sister Ling'er always has a bitter face. Maybe even if you don't like it, your expression is no different from usual to the current father, right?" Hua Shuo smiled and took it.
Put a piece of pastry into your mouth and chew it.
Hua Ling then remembered that when she met Hua Mu when she was about five years old, maybe it was because she didn't smile very much. Hua Mu would always sadly tell Duanmu Wuxiang that Hua Ling was not as cute as when she was a child. When she was five years old, she said that when she was a child, maybe
Does it mean the baby period? Is it because you laughed a lot when you were a baby?
