Chapter 280 280 Counterattack (first update)

The emperor felt that he had won a great victory and waved his hand to send everyone away.

As Eunuch Ni said, "Go back to the palace," the emperor strode away with a high-spirited look from behind.

Everyone sent the emperor off respectfully, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. They were all relieved, as if they were survivors who had survived by chance on the battlefield.

"Let's go." Chu Qianchen pinched Gu Jue's sleeve, meaning that it was time for them to go back. It was almost time for Gu Jue to go to bed.

Gu Jue obediently took the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked hand in hand towards the Zichen Palace. The oncoming cold wind blew the cape off Chu Qianchen's head and scattered her temple hair. A few strands of hair caressed her cheek playfully.

Gu Jue stopped and gently pushed the naughty strands of hair behind her ears with his fingers.

Her snow-white cheeks were as soft and smooth as the most delicate petals. The pads of his fingers were a little rough, making him afraid of abrading her skin. His movements slowed down subconsciously, and the simple movements revealed a bit of casual charm.

"Tonight I found a place with a lot of wild mushrooms. Can I take you to pick wild mushrooms tomorrow?"

While talking, Gu Jue helped her put on the cloak hat again, hiding her palm-sized face in it.

The two of them were so close that Chu Qianchen could clearly smell the scent of his body. In addition to the agarwood scent on his robes, there was also a faint scent of pine wood.

Smelling his fragrance, Chu Qianchen felt at ease and at ease.

Chu Qianchen looked up at him, his eyes shining in his cloak and hat, and responded simply: "Okay!"

She told the prince that she wanted to go into the mountains to pick some wild mushrooms, and the prince always remembered it;

She asked the prince not to take action tonight, and the prince also remembered it.

Chu Qianchen's mood became extremely happy, and he took his hand again, and continued to walk forward, walking very briskly, and said with a smile: "It is winter now, there are not many wild mushrooms, my lord, you can actually find them, you What a blessing.”

Gu Jue: "Yeah."

His luck is indeed very good.

Chu Qianchen shook their intertwined hands and added enthusiastically: "We have to get up early tomorrow. The wild mushrooms in the morning are rich in water, tender and delicious!"

"Um."

"Let's go to bed early and get up at 00:00 tomorrow morning."

"Um."

Because of Gu Jue's cooperation, Chu Qianchen was so happy that he almost floated, until Gu Jue suddenly said: "Then you are not allowed to get up secretly to read in the middle of the night."

Chu Qianchen: "..."

In fact, she just couldn't sleep on the road the night before, so she secretly got up and read the storybook for a while, but was caught by Gu Jue who woke up in the middle of the night.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen responded obediently.

Although Chu Qianchen was very obedient and went to bed early, they still failed to pick wild mushrooms the next day.

At five o'clock in the morning, it snowed outside.

It snowed for a whole day.

In such a snowy day, no one dared to go into the mountains without hesitation, so everyone in the palace either played together in the Hunting Palace Square outside, or gathered friends and held some small gatherings in their palaces. Tea banquets, flower viewing banquets, etc., or hiding in the palace for a day like Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue.

According to the rules of winter hunting, there will be nothing going on in the next few days. Everyone can move freely. Only on the last day of winter hunting, there will be a sacrificial ceremony hosted by the emperor himself.

It snowed all day, but fortunately, it stopped on the night of November 12th.

Chu Qianchen was more energetic after a day's rest. She got up early in the morning without anyone calling her, fully armed.

Gu Jue also specially asked someone to sew a pair of deerskin gloves with five fingers separated for her. Wearing these deerskin gloves is very convenient for riding horses, archery, and picking wild mushrooms.

The mountains and forests all over the sky are covered under a blanket of white snow, adding a touch of otherworldliness to the originally desolate mountains and forests.

Because there is snow in the mountains and forests, there are still not many people entering the mountains today, especially the noble ladies who tend to stay in the palace to enjoy the snow.

Chu Qianchen didn't have such scruples. She rode her red horse like a cat that escaped from the cage and had fun in the snowy mountains and forests.

Although the two of them brought bows, arrows and swords, they did not intend to hunt, they were just for self-defense.

Today they came to pick wild mushrooms and wild fruits.

After showing off her riding and shooting skills the day before yesterday, Chu Qianchen showed off her ability to identify wild mushrooms, wild fruits and medicinal materials.

She only regretted that it was winter now, and there were too few cold-resistant wild mushrooms.

After picking a basket of mushrooms, Chu Qianchen couldn't help but said: "The best season for picking wild mushrooms is after the spring and summer rains. Your lord, let's go on an outing together to pick wild mushrooms when spring begins."

It was clearly written on her little face -

In fact, she is even more powerful!

Gu Jue: "Okay."

Gu Jue had no doubt that even if this girl was left alone in the mountains and forests, she would still be able to live well.

She looks delicate on the outside, but her vitality is extremely strong.

She was always trying to tell him with every word and deed that she was powerful, that he could rely on her, that he could trust her.

They could stand side by side and she didn't want to hide behind him.

She was very calm and worked very hard to show everything she had in front of him.

Perhaps because of this, she could touch the softest place in his heart so easily.

She has worked so hard, so there is no reason for him to be lazy, right?

Gu Jue looked at her with gentler and more affectionate eyes, and asked her, "Only for an outing?"

Chu Qianchen could feel that Gu Jue was in a good mood.

So it’s because of yourself!

Thinking of this, the cat's tail behind her stood up happily.

She said greedily: "We can also go boating together, put out lanterns, play with water bottles, fight with flowers and grass..."

Chu Qianchen counted her fingers and said that she wanted to do the things they had done in their previous life again, and she also wanted to try the things they had not had time to do together in their previous life. There were so many things she wanted to do with him.

But sometimes she thinks she might be too greedy?

"It's better to be greedy." Gu Jue said.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

She blinked blankly, then blinked again.

Didn't she say it out loud just now? She just thought about it in her heart?

Her look of surprise amused him, and he laughed, a gleeful laugh.

Not the usual inaudible chuckle, but the refreshing laughter.

Even his face looked several years younger because of this smile, giving him a youthful and naughty look.

When Jingfeng saw this scene, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. For a moment, he almost thought he saw the fifteen-year-old prince.

Naturally, Jingfeng's arrival could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen. They both looked at Jingfeng, making Jingfeng secretly regret that he should not have appeared at this time.

Now that the matter was over, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, they have been trapped."

Chu Qianchen was still thinking about what they should do tomorrow. Hearing this, he smiled sweetly.

Although Jingfeng's words were unclear and unclear, Chu Qianchen knew all the ins and outs.

Shortly after the night hunt the day before yesterday, the emperor immediately sent Lu Siji, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to return to the capital overnight. After midnight, one of the Nanhao envoys disappeared and was replaced by another.

Apparently, on the night of the night hunt, the emperor and Andaman had a "not pleasant" conversation.

Originally, the two parties had their own thoughts and interests, and were wary of each other. It would not be difficult for them to provoke each other.

They have done enough what they should do here, and the next step is to look at Uhagal Tower.

"Is there anything going wrong in Wuhejialou?" Chu Qianchen said as he took off the glove on his right hand and picked a red wild fruit. He thought that there were animal teeth marks on the wild fruit next to him. This fruit It should be edible.

"If something goes wrong with him, then we won't care about him." Gu Jue grabbed Chu Qianchen's right wrist and took a bite of the wild fruit with her hand.

This is good! Chu Qianchen nodded with satisfaction.

Thinking of that monk now, Chu Qianchen only felt that he was a bit annoying. One moment he dragged the prince to Nanhao, and the other moment he asked the prince to worry about his affairs!

She wrinkled her nose and took a bite of wild fruit as if to vent her anger.

The wild fruits were crisp and sweet. Chu Qianchen’s eyes lit up and he said, “Let’s pick some more and take them back.”

"Um."

Gu Jue laughed softly, his laughter blown away by the wind.

As soon as the biting mountain wind blew, the white snow on the branches fell down with the wind, and it seemed that it was snowing again.

After a while, it really started to snow.

It is also snowing in the capital. The sky is gloomy, with scattered snowflakes flying sparsely downward, falling on the eaves outside the window and on the branches...

A few white plum blossoms outside the window trembled slightly in the cold wind, and wisps of cold plum fragrance came with the wind.

A few snowflakes blew in through the half-open window and landed on a scripture.

A hand with long, thin fingers gently flicked the snowflakes off the page.

Wuhejialou raised his eyes and looked out the window. White plum blossoms were blooming proudly in the snow, and green smoke was curling gently from the incense burner next to him.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the silent room.

Since the house next door was flooded that night a few days ago, a group of them have lived in Prince Chen's Mansion.

So far, everything is going very smoothly.

Uhagalou glanced at the western sky, and then withdrew his gaze. Chiangrai opened the curtain and walked in from outside the house, holding a piece of tissue paper in his hand, followed by five or six people.

"The eldest prince, Cheng Changshi has just sent a letter from King Chen's flying pigeon." Qinglai presented the silk paper to Uhagalou.

Everyone looked at Wuhagalou with worries in their eyes.

Wuhejialou has just recovered from a serious illness. He is thin and thin, with a handsome face and clear outlines. The wide monk's robes are a bit empty on his body. The white monks' robes seem to be three points whiter than the white plums and snowflakes outside, which set off his face. His temperament became more and more dusty, as if he was about to ride on the wind at any moment.

Nearly 80% of the poison from the moon has been removed from him, and the wound has been sutured. He is still using the prescription prescribed by Chu Qianchen, at least until the end of the month.

Before leaving the capital, Princess Chen had warned the current Uhagalou not to work too hard or use force, and several of the attendants in Chiang Rai took it to heart.

"The eldest prince, be careful of catching a cold." Immediately afterwards, Chiang Rai put on another coat over the white monk's robe of Uhagalou.

Wuhejialou put down the scripture written in Daqi script, picked up the piece of silk paper, lowered his eyes slightly, and read it twice carefully, and slowly turned the bead in his other hand.

After pondering for a moment, he threw the piece of tissue paper into the charcoal brazier, and the flames instantly engulfed the piece of tissue paper.

Uhagalou raised his eyes to meet Qinglai's eyes and said in Hao language: "King Chen said in the letter that Andaman has been dispatched and brought back to the capital, and they should be arriving soon."

"Chiang Rai, Badalun, Rama..." Uhagalou's eyes slowly turned from Chiang Rai to the other people beside him, reading their names one by one with a calm expression.

Chiang Rai and the others seemed to have guessed what Wu He Jia Lou was going to say, and their faces with profound features showed a bit of eagerness to try. When Jia Lou read their names, they bowed to him and performed the Dahao gesture. etiquette.

"You go." Wuhejialou ordered.

His voice was gentle and clear, neither light nor heavy, neither fast nor slow, but it was very loud in everyone's ears, making their blood boil and their eyes blazing.

"Yes, eldest prince."

They solemnly accepted their orders, all with expectant looks in their eyes, and the atmosphere became lively in an instant.

In the past few months, their life had been difficult. They had been ambushed, hunted, and framed. They could only hide, let alone return to Hao Kingdom to clear their names.

Now, after they've waited so long, it's finally time for them to fight back!
