Poor Lady

"Su Rong." A person walked over from behind.

Qi Surong raised her head from Gu Jinyun's arms, and was surprised to find that the person who came was Feng Zhan. She turned her head and looked at Gu Jinyun, wondering why they appeared together? Strictly speaking, her separation from Gu Jinyun and the series of troubles she suffered later were all thanks to this person.

Feng Zhan naturally knew the doubts in her heart and secretly smiled bitterly. In fact, since he heard of her disappearance, he asked for orders to go to the border town to find her. Later, he accidentally met Gu Jinyun who had just returned to the Central Plains on the way. The other party poisoned him without saying a word, causing him to suffer severe pain for three days. Compared with the soft-hearted and soft-hearted a few years ago, today's Gu Jinyun makes a move without hesitation.

Feng Zhan knew that he was wrong and did not resist. Quan should be the compensation for his mistakes, and he was willing to be sent by him. Qi Surong didn't know about this matter, and Gu Jinyun secretly sent people to **** him all the way after entering the customs, including him.

It was a pleasant surprise to find Luo Yanyi's trace by accident this time. The relationship between the Feng family and the Luo family is inextricably linked. Since King Jing ascended the throne, the situation has been precarious. If Luo Yanyi can find the escaped Eighth Prince, it will be considered as atonement and save the family from a crisis.

"Go back and talk." Gu Jinyun patted her shoulder and whispered, then turned to look at Luo Yanyi on the ground, and ordered, "Take everyone back."

"Qi Surong, you have to die!" Luo Yanyi was erected and shouted frantically, "Wait, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes, and he flicked his sleeves at her face, and a piece of powder fell into her mouth. Luo Yanyi's expression froze, her eyes were stunned, her face was terrified, and she was speechless.

Back at the inn, Gu Jinyun helped Qi Surong pour a cup of hot tea and calmly explained the whole story to her.

Only then did Qi Surong know that Gu Jinyun had arranged everything properly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ping Bai gave her a false alarm.

"I didn't expect to meet Luo Yanyi." Gu Jinyun said warmly, "I want to play happily with you. Wouldn't it be disappointing if I told you that someone was following you secretly?"

Qi Surong glanced at him angrily and didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Jinyun said again: "It's just that I still hurt you."

He pulled up her arm, annoyed at the bruises and abrasions on it.

"It's okay, I'm no longer the pampered young lady of the past, and some minor injuries are nothing to worry about." After years of tempering, Qi Surong lost a little bit of unattainable extravagance, but a little bit more not afraid of wind and snow of tenacity and majesty. At first glance, it does not seem to be different, but if you stand with other boudoir girls, you will definitely stand out and have a unique temperament.

Gu Jinyun held her hand and stared.

At this moment, Xiao Er's voice came from outside the house: "Guest, your hot water has been delivered."

Gu Jinyun got up and opened the door, let someone bring water into the house, and said to Qi Surong, "Surong, you take a bath and change clothes first, and I'll go back when I go."

Qi Surong asked, "Are you going to see Luo Yanyi?"

Gu Jinyun nodded.

Qi Surong opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but Gu Jinyun interrupted, "I will handle this matter, and I will not give her another chance to insult you."

After speaking, he strode out and took the door behind him with a rather domineering attitude.

Qi Surong sighed and did not insist. She has always been a thorn in Luo Yanyi's heart. Although she is a little inexplicable, she is helpless. It's better if she doesn't see her.

She took off her clothes and immersed in the water with peace of mind, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

Several people were delayed in this town for three days, and when they set off again, it was still only her and Gu Jinyun, and Feng Zhan and the others did not know where they took Luo Yanyi.

Qi Surong guessed that this time, he should be able to find the Eighth Prince.

The appearance of Luo Yanyi affected the mood of the two of them to play. After discussion, they decided to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

Gu Jinyun personally drove the carriage and carried Qi Surong all the way back, feeling so excited that he couldn't hide his excitement.

Just as he was about to arrive at the entrance of the East Gate, he saw a group of people standing in the road pavilion not far away, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The leader is handsome, and has a temperament that is not angry and powerful, obviously his identity is quite good. There were a few people behind him, and Gu Jinyun had a vague impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

He was secretly vigilant, and slowly drove the carriage to them, and then pulled the rope to a stop.

When Qi Surong found the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Jin Yun, why..."

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly saw a person walking not far away, walking like a tiger, and it turned out to be the current sage!

She hurriedly got out of the car and saluted King Jing: "The woman has seen His Majesty."

When Gu Jinyun heard the words, he was stunned for a while, but he did not show his cowardice, and bowed with Qi Surong.

"You don't need to be too polite." King Jing smiled, "You and your wife can make me wait. You have made a great contribution this time, and I have already prepared a reward for your merits, but who would have thought that you would leave the reward and go to the mountain to play by yourself. water."

Qi Surong couldn't hide the surprise on his face, King Jing actually came to meet them in person, which was a great favor.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, my husband and I meet again after a long absence. It is inevitable that our son and daughter will love each other. It is indeed unthinkable."

"Haha, forget it, I don't blame you." King Jing said, "Let's go, General Qi should have set up a banquet in Qi's mansion at this moment, just waiting to wash the dust for you."

"Qi's Mansion?" A look of joy flashed across Qi Surong's face.

A minister smiled and said: "Mrs. Gu probably still doesn't know that His Majesty has rehabilitated the Qi family, the Qi family's belongings have been returned to their original owners, and Qi's general officer has been restored to his post."

Qi Surong looked at Gu Jinyun with a happy smile on her face.

Gu Jinyun looked back gently.

King Jing personally ushered them back to Qi's Mansion. The matter was not widely publicized, but it caused an uproar in the court. Most of the people didn't know much about the former Miss Qi and the current Mrs. Gu. The credit she made, whether it was helping King Jing ascend to the throne or entering the Western Regions to explore the secrets, was not suitable for public disclosure, but Jing. Wang's favor for their family is clear at a glance.

After King Jing ascended the throne, all the ministers who had been demoted or killed by the previous king were rehabilitated, but the Qi family kept silent. Everyone thought that the Qi family would fall, but who would know that it would rise again after a few years and become famous in Kyoto. King Jing not only rectified his name, returned the house, and restored the official position, he even personally welcomed the return of Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun. Such grace is unprecedented.

Qi's old house was renovated, firecrackers blared, crowded and lively. King Jing was invited to the first seat to drink and rejoice with the guests. If you are careful, you will definitely find that the guests attending the banquet are all powerful officials and upstarts who have risen to fame in recent years, and the future trend of the country will be in their hands. Although it is not obvious at present, it has been revealed and famous.

King Jing did not let Qi's family accompany him. After receiving the ceremony, he let them go to the back hall for a small gathering.

After many years of absence, Qi Surong finally stepped into her home again. Looking at her old father and her mother with tears in their eyes, she couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed over to hug them tightly.

Next to the Qi family and their wife, there were people from the Gu family, and Qi Surong greeted them one by one.

Father Gu didn't say much, just patted Gu Jinyun's shoulder and sighed with a smile.

Gu Yufeng hugged his elder brother with joy: "I know that the big brother has a great life, and it really is!"

Gu Jinyun also hugged his brother's back heavily, and then walked to his sister's side. Shuangshuang seemed a little afraid to recognize and looked at him timidly. He didn't want to scare her, just touched her head lightly.

Family reunion, there are endless things to talk about. But there is still the emperor in the hall, so they can't really ignore it. They go to thank the emperor together.

Taking this opportunity, King Jing asked people to take out the imperial decree and read it out in public: "Fengtian transports the goods, and the emperor's decree said: I only rule the world with words, and fight chaos with force." The military commanders and generals are the pillars of the court and the backbone of the country. In the past, the general Qi Shuo, who fought for the country for several years, made a lot of contributions, but suffered an unjust injustice, so he was removed from his title and demoted to a commoner. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I hereby rehabilitate the Qi family. He will be reinstated as an official from today, and he will be given the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, and he will return the wealth of his confiscated family in the past.

The decree said: The ministers have the code of honoring the duke, and they use their internal virtues to communicate with each other. Xi Er Gu Shang Jin Yun's wife Qi Shi, Kun Yi Yuxiu, intelligent and wise, meritorious to the society, the righteousness of the world, is suitable to give Er as his wife, Jia Er Guanrong, Yongxi Tianzhu. In addition, the Gu family was named the imperial merchant, and he granted Gu Jinyun the third-class title and forty hectares of fertile land. The edict of Xi was ordered to play, temporarily Xi Wu Bian, plus Pi Ji, Qin Zai.

This imperial decree is almost the same as what King Jing showed her before Qi Surong went to the Western Regions, except that she added Gu Jinyun's reward. To confer a title of honor as a commoner can be said to be a step up to the sky, and the grace of heaven is mighty.

All the guests were envious.

Overnight, the Qi family's name moved the world and climbed into the sky again.

In the evening, Mother Qi pulled Qi Surong into the room, and the two sat opposite each other, crying and laughing.

She held her daughter's hand and was speechless for a long time.

"Mother, you have suffered all these years." Qi Surong looked at her mother apologetically.

"How can I suffer from you?" Mother Qi choked, "If it weren't for you, my Qi family would have been torn apart long ago."

"As long as the family is safe, my daughter will not be afraid of hardship." Qi Surong said with a smile.

Mother Qi clapped her hand and cried.

"Okay, mother, don't cry." Qi Surong picked up the handkerchief to wipe her tears and asked, "Where's Subao? Why didn't you see him?"

"He, he was admitted to Juren this year and was sent to Xuzhen." Speaking of her son, Qi's mother laughed, "The emperor authorized him to return to Beijing, and he is probably still on his way."

"So it is." Qi Surong only felt full of joy, and this life was really complete.

Qi's mother suddenly sighed again: "Now that you have an official life, mother is relieved."

"Huh?" Qi Surong was a little puzzled. What's wrong with her mother?

Qi's mother continued: "It is a big taboo for a woman to have no descendants, but everything you have done for the Gu family, plus your present favor, is enough to stabilize your position as mistress, and mother doesn't have to worry about your future because of no descendants. Out of favor."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Qi Surong was even more puzzled.

"Mother knows, you don't have to hide it." Qi's mother comforted her, "Although it's a pity that you can't have children, but you have to relax, and the Gu family will not treat you badly."

"Can't have children? Mother, you say I can't have children?" Qi Surong was shocked.
