The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

At daybreak, Gu Jiao and her party finally walked out of the forest.

Only then did they realize that this place was completely opposite to where they came in.

Mu Qingchen stared at the front and said: "Crossing the ridge in front of you is the official road. Go south and you will see a post."

Where there are post stations, there are carriages and horses.

The horse that Gu Jiao brought out from the National Teacher Hall was already so tired that Gu Jiao didn't even ride it anymore.

Mu Qingchen's guards led the horse, Gu Changqing hugged Xiao Qingkong, and Mu Qingchen hugged the little princess.

The group continued on their way.

But there was a small episode when crossing the field ridge. The little princess suddenly had difficulty breathing and couldn't catch her breath. After a while, her face turned pale and her lips were darkened.

"Let me see." Gu Jiao came over, put her ear to it, and listened to the heartbeat and breathing of the little princess.

The sudden approach made Mu Qingchen's breathing stagnate.

He looked at the little princess in his arms, then at Gu Jiao's face that was close at hand, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "How is she?"

"It looks like an asthma attack." Gu Jiao took off the first-aid kit from her waist, opened it and took out a bottle of asthma aerosol, "Little princess."

The little princess opened her eyes and looked at Gu Jiao with discomfort.

Gu Jiao carried her over, found a place to sit down, shook the aerosol well and uncorked the bottle: "Pit out the air first, hold it, I will let you inhale, then inhale, after washing Don't spit."

The little princess nodded weakly.

It is said that a long-term illness becomes a doctor. The little princess who suffers from asthma has taken medicine since childhood, and the degree of cooperation in treatment is higher than that of ordinary children.

"Exhale." Gu Jiao said.

After the little princess took a long breath, Gu Jiao put the nozzle into her mouth and pressed the switch of the aerosol: "Inhale. I'll let you breathe out after dozens of breaths."

The little princess obediently held her spout, holding back uncomfortably but just looking at Gu Jiao.

"...Ten, that's it." Gu Jiao said.

The little princess took a long breath.

"Is it better?" Gu Jiao asked her.

The little princess took a few breaths: "Huh~huh~"

Not feeling any discomfort, the little princess opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Did she get better so quickly?

The imperial doctors regularly took care of the little princess, and in recent years, Lord Yanshan and the monarch have taken good care of her, and her asthma has seldom flared up.

Gu Jiao suspected that some allergens were inhaled in the woods that caused the little princess to have an acute attack.

"What kind of medicine is this? It works so well?" In the past, it took a long time for the princess to get over her seizures. The imperial doctor said that it is not always possible to get over it, so prevention is the main thing, and try not to let her get sick.

Gu Jiao asked: "This is a special medicine for asthma."

Mu Qingchen asked puzzledly: "You still carry this medicine with you."

Shouldn't people who practice martial arts carry golden sore medicine, hemostatic medicine and detoxification pills with them?

"Didn't you tell me that the princess has asthma?"

Ever since Mu Qingchen said it, she has prepared a bottle of breath-relieving aerosol in her first aid kit.

Mu Qingchen took a deep look at Gu Jiao, and suddenly fell silent.

"Go get some water." Mu Qingchen said to the guard.

"Yes."

There was a small stream on the road they walked just now, it may be the small stream seen in the depths of the forest, and it has been winding to the vicinity.

Mu Qingchen wanted to carry the little princess over.

The little princess hugged Gu Jiao's neck tightly, unable to hold back: "I want the teacher to hold you! You are hard! The teacher is soft! It's like—"

Gu Jiao covered her small mouth, and said to Mu Qingchen, "I'll hug her."

Little guy, don't rub your chest too much.

"Young master! Young master!"

The guard came back in a hurry.

Seeing that he didn't get any water, Mu Qingchen knew something had happened.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen asked.

The guard said: "I went to fetch water, and on the way, people from our family and Mu's family came over."

Su and Mu two families.

Gu Changqing had no affection for the top ten families, he was going to cut off one if he came, and he would cut off a pair if two came.

Mu Qingchen looked at the back of the forest, frowned, seemed to be struggling in his heart, and finally said to Gu Jiao: "You go first, don't go on the field ridge, the field ridge is too wide, it is easy to be found. Detour, go through the forest Go out on the other side, or I will take them back first, and you will come out later."

It wasn't easy getting him to say something like that.

In his heart, he didn't believe that the Mu family and the Su family would do something to snatch the little princess away, but...he couldn't say why, he just thought it was right to let them leave first.

Maybe he already had a guess in his heart that he didn't want to face directly.

"Then let's go." Gu Jiao hugged the little princess and turned around, "Goodbye to Mu Qingchen."

The little princess obediently waved: "Goodbye, Mu Qingchen."

Gu Changqing followed with a small clearance.

The two walked east a few steps into the woods.

You can still hear the conversation over there.

"Qingchen, why are you here? Have you found any clues?"

"Second uncle, no, but I heard that the little princess has gone back."

"What? Back?"

"Yes, I met an injured guard just now. I don't know whose family it is. He said that he saw someone taking the little princess out of the woods and walking in the direction of the field. The little princess is safe and nothing happened."

"Then it's really a waste of time for us to come... I don't know if it's too late to chase after it..."

Mu Qingchen looked at his second uncle, with disappointment welling up in his eyes.

...

The little princess dangled in Gu Jiao's arms for a while and then fell asleep again.

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Douding in her arms, and said, "I didn't expect the disappearance of a little guy to blow up all the ghosts and snakes."

Gu Changqing said: "The top ten aristocratic families are at odds with each other, and that day will come sooner or later."

At the beginning, everyone was jealous of the Xuanyuan family's dominance, and wished they could deal with it quickly, but when the Xuanyuan family really died, they all wanted to become the next Xuanyuan family.

Gu Jiao asked, "By the way, why did you come here?"

Gu Changqing said: "Xiao Heng notified me."

Originally, he planned to go out of the city to see Gu Yan, but when he reached the gate of the inner city, Xiao Heng overtook him.

Gu Jiao: "Did you tell him that you were leaving the city?"

Gu Changqing: "No, he guessed it himself."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "My husband is smart!"

Gu Changqing's face darkened.

The mountain was at the back of the forest, and the light was not very good, so the two walked very carefully.

Gu Jiao said again: "By the way, is the prince's progress going well?"

Gu Changqing said: "Successful."

Gu Jiao murmured: "Is he so gullible in the people sent by the underground martial arts?"

Gu Changqing explained: "He gave me a poison, I take the antidote once a month, otherwise I will die."

Gu Jiao looked at him: "Have you drank?"

"En." Gu Changqing nodded, looked at Gu Jiao, "I think you can understand."

Gu Jiao: "I don't think I can understand it."

Gu Changqing: "..."

Gu Jiao's ears twitched, and she turned her head to look into the depths of the forest in the southeast: "There seems to be some movement over there."

Gu Changqing stared at it: "I heard it too, do you want to take a look?"

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Then go and have a look."

Gu Changqing hugged Xiao Qingkong with one hand, and Gu Jiao's waist with the other, and brought her over with light kung fu.

The two hid behind a big tree with their child in their arms.

About a hundred paces away, a young man in Taoist robes was fighting two masked men in black, and at the scene of their fight stood a handsome... boy.

"It's Feng Wuxiu and Qingfeng Daoist." Gu Jiao said in a low voice.

"You know him?" Gu Changqing asked in a low voice.

Gu Jiao hummed: "I have seen Daoist Qingfeng in the National Teacher Hall, and the portrait of Feng Wuxiu in the Library Pavilion...how is Feng Wuxiu younger than the one on the portrait?"

Feng Wuxiu is 23 years old this year, but he looks less than 20 years old in the portrait. Now that he sees a real person, he is three years younger.

Feng Wuxiu's age didn't lie, he was just born tender.

Daoist Qingfeng fought fiercely with the two men in black. The man in black seems to be not much weaker than Qi Xuan in martial arts. The combination of the two is Qi Xuan 2.0.

Gu Jiao sighed with emotion: "Zhaoguo is really a cloud of masters... Who do you think will win?"

"That Taoist priest." Gu Changqing gave the answer almost without hesitation.

Both the men in black made ultimate moves, but Daoist Qingfeng's moves were actually reserved. In order not to let his internal force affect the nearby Feng Wuxiu, he split each move into two moves——

One move is used to fend off the enemy, and the other move is used to relieve one's internal strength in a certain direction.

It was the first time Gu Changqing saw such a style of play, which opened his eyes a bit.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao stared intently, "It seems that what Mu Qingchen said is right, luckily I didn't meet this Taoist priest from the Feng family."

"The battle is almost over, let's go." They were only halfway through the fight, but Gu Changqing had already judged how many moves Qingfeng Daoist would take to finish off the two men in black.

...

Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing returned to the National Teacher Hall at noon.

Both children woke up and had eaten at the post station, but their bodies and faces were still dirty, and they looked a bit horrible.

At night, Gu Jiao was unable to examine their injuries carefully, and only after getting into the carriage did she find that they all had bruises and abrasions to varying degrees, all caused by bumps and scratches on the road.

Xiao Heng had been waiting at the gate of the National Teacher Hall for a long time.

Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao got out of the carriage with the child in their arms.

Xiao Heng walked over quickly, looking at the two horrific little guys, his eyes turned cold.

He looked at Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing: "Are you all okay?"

"fine."

This time, she and Gu Changqing really had no serious problems, only the two little bean dings suffered a serious crime.

"Let me come." Xiao Heng stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Jingkong in Gu Changqing's arms.

For the first time, Xiao Jingkong did not protest. Although his face was stinky, his body was very honest.

He obediently lay in Xiao Heng's arms, breathing the breath of Xiao Heng.

Since he came to the house at the age of three and a half, two years later, he not only relied deeply on Gu Jiao, but also relied on Xiao Heng from the bottom of his heart.

It's like a child who likes his mother the most, but doesn't want his father.

Xiao Heng looked down at the little guy lying on his chest: "Are you scared?"

I don't even have the strength to be a monster anymore.

"No." Xiao Jingkong snorted and said, "I'm just tired."

He can still argue with himself, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Xiao Heng laughed: "Okay, you are tired, I will let you rest today."

"No homework."

"it is good."

"I still have to give you candy."

"Can."

The big eyeballs like black grapes in the small headroom rolled around.

It was rare for a bad brother-in-law to be so reasonable, so he decided to seek another wave of small benefits for himself.

How could Xiao Heng not see his little Jiujiu, pinched his little face and said: "Enough is enough, otherwise the previous ones will also be confiscated by you."

Small headroom, black face for a second.

Sure enough, she is still a bad brother-in-law!

Xiao Heng lowered the corners of his raised lips, and said to Gu Jiao: "I'll take Qing Kong to take a bath first. If someone asks, I'll say that he acted bravely and saved my little aunt. I have to keep this little benefactor here." Stay in the National Teacher Hall for a few days."

This reason is very good.

"I have a question, I've been thinking about it for a long time, shouldn't I be called Auntie?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng smiled lightly, and said: "The emperor's grandson's surname is Shangguan. According to the customs of the Dayan royal family, those with the same surname are called aunts."

Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case. Then I will send the little princess back to the palace first."

Xiao Heng looked at the little princess who was hugging Gu Jiao's neck and did not let go, and said, "No need, the monarch is on his way."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The monarch also heard the news that the little princess was sent back to the palace, but he couldn't wait for the figure, so he wanted to come to the National Teacher Hall to inquire about the situation.

When he learned that the little princess was in the Qilin Hall, he rushed over without saying a word.

"Slow down, Your Majesty!" Zhang Dequan almost couldn't catch up!

Your Majesty, do you think you are still young when you are old?

Are you not afraid of falling?

"Xiaoxue!"

Before the king or person arrives, the voice arrives first.

The little princess raised her head from Gu Jiao's arms, and stared at the door.

The moment the monarch entered the room in a hurry, the little princess cried out, "Wow——Uncle Your Majesty...the bad guys are arresting me..."

It was inconvenient for Gu Changqing to show up, so he left after sending Gu Jiao to her.

They were in the wing room next to Shangguan Yan, apart from the little princess, there were only Gu Jiao, Xiao Heng and Xiao Jingkong in the room.

The monarch looked at the two distressed children, and Long Yan was furious in an instant!

Gu Jiao didn't mind adding fuel to his fire: "This morning, the princess had an asthma attack, and the situation is very critical."

The monarch looked at the little princess who was out of breath from crying.

The little princess cried and twitched, and nodded: "I can't breathe...it's so uncomfortable..."

The monarch asked distressedly: "Are you still out of breath?"

The little princess shook her head choked with sobs: "It's gone now... The teacher gave me medicine..."

The monarch asked Zhang Dequan to take the two children to the next door for something to eat.

Then he looked at Gu Jiao, who was also a bit embarrassed, with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice, "You found the little princess?"

Gu Jiao said bluntly: "Yes."

The monarch asked suspiciously, "How did you find it?"

Do you suspect that I am guarding myself?

Gu Jiao said: "I have an eagle, it was found."

The monarch was dubious: "Your eagle will still look for people?"

"Trained." Gu Jiao said.

That's weird.

Gu Jiaoxin said.

"I have seen that eagle." Xiao Heng said, "The two children have also seen it, and the eagle recognizes them."

The monarch still had a high degree of trust in Shangguan Qing, so he didn't worry about it anymore, but asked Gu Jiao: "Where is the person who took the little princess?"

"I didn't see it." Xiao Heng said first.

Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "Yes, I just didn't see it. The two children escaped from the place where they were detained into the forest. I found them in the forest."

"I know."

The monarch went to the next door to ask Xiao Jingkong and Xiaojunzhu.

After all, the little princess is only four years old, and the clues she can tell are limited. She only remembers that she was arrested again and again, and she can't remember the appearance of those people at all.

Xiao Jingkong remembered the appearance of the peddler and the man in black, as well as the appearance of Dong Jiazhu and others, but Xiao Heng told him just now, if he said he didn't remember or saw clearly.

Zhang Dequan said: "Your Majesty, the two children are still young, so it's normal that they can't remember clearly after being so frightened."

The monarch left the Qilin Hall with a gloomy expression.

Gu Jiao looked at the back of the monarch going away, and asked Xiao Heng: "Why do you want me and Jing Kong to say nothing?"

Xiao Heng took her hand and put her sideburn hair behind her ears: "Because there is not enough evidence for what I said, maybe the big families will join hands to bite back."

Gu Jiao asked: "So forget it?"

Xiao Heng straightened her temples: "No. The little princess suffered such a big crime this time, and she almost lost her life. The monarch will not let it go. Those who play tricks behind the scenes will soon understand their You overestimated your own abilities."

...

Library Pavilion, third floor.

The monarch and the master of the state sit and drink tea.

Master Guoshi poured tea for the monarch and himself: "Does Your Majesty really want to do this?"

The monarch said seriously: "That's right."

Master Guoshi smiled faintly, took a sip from his teacup: "It was agreed at the beginning that the Palace of National Teachers will not interfere in the government affairs of the court, will not participate in power struggles, and will not ask about the affairs of the aristocratic family."

The monarch said earnestly, "I... am not ordering you as the king of a country, but asking you to help me with this as an old friend."

Master Guoshi paused while drinking tea: "Ye Qing."

Ye Qing stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted: "The disciple is here."

The national teacher asked: "What time is it?"

Ye Qing replied respectfully: "It's just past noon."

The Master of the National Teacher said indifferently: "Youshi, as a teacher, I want to meet the mastermind behind the capture of the little princess."

Ye Qing looked serious: "Disciple takes orders!"
