The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 444 Extra 2: Six years later (3)

Gu Yuan's request to live alone in the East Palace was ruthlessly rejected by Gu Jue: "I didn't move to Qianxi Fifth House until I was eight years old."

"..." Gu Yuan was speechless.

As a son, he can never go beyond his father.

Until the family of four left Shouning Palace, Gu Yuan was still a little depressed.

The sunset at dusk was half down, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds, like a brocade.

The black cat Yueying walked at the front with elegant cat steps, followed by Gu Yuan, and Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue holding Xiao Jiaojiao walked at the end.

As the black cat walked, he occasionally looked back at Gu Yuan, fearing that he would get lost, as if "the cat was worried about him".

Gu Yuan looked back from time to time to look at Xiao Jiaojiao, who was held in Gu Jue's arms, thinking: My sister is still too young, and as the eldest brother, he should help his mother take care of her. When he is eight years old and his sister reaches the age of enlightenment, he can move away.

After thinking about it, the little guy's pace became much brisker.

When he turned around, he found that Yueying was gone.

Strange, where is Yueying?

Gu Yuan looked around and saw a black cat chasing a colorful butterfly, its long tail waving excitedly, and ran towards the sparkling lake not far away.

"Moon Shadow!"

Gu Yuan shouted quickly, and the black cat in front of him on the right immediately stopped and turned back to look at Gu Yuan. The pupils in the green and gem-like cat's eyes turned into a slit, as if asking, "What are you doing?"

"Yueying, come back." Gu Yuan shouted again.

So, the black cat came back obediently and rubbed his calf affectionately, making him smile.

On the boy's delicate and beautiful little face, the phoenix eyes curved into a pair of happy crescent moons, and his smile was fifty-six times similar to Shen Qianchen's.

The black cat continued to walk forward, insisting on walking in front of Gu Yuan.

Shen Qianchen from behind looked at the cat and the baby and found it interesting.

Their Yueying is already seven years old, which is middle-aged for cats.

Cats are arrogant animals. Their cat has always been indifferent to them. They just call it by its name. Eight times out of ten times, he will not give them a look, but the cat treats Gu Yuan very much. Okay, as long as Gu Yuan calls it, it will respond to any request.

When Gu Yuan was just born, the black cat always stayed by his side, as if he was afraid that he would starve to death, and often brought him live fish caught from the pond, dried small fish stolen from the imperial kitchen, dried chicken, etc.

Gu Jue once jokingly said that Yueying regarded Gu Yuan as her younger brother.

Shen Qianchen felt it was possible.

As Gu Yuan grew up little by little, the cat stayed with him, probably treating him as a cub that needed to be protected.

Shen Qianchen couldn't help laughing, remembering the scarred, pitiful and helpless look of the black cat when she first saw it in Jishi Hall, and also thinking of the person who gave the cat to her.

That young monk, dressed in white as snow and spotless.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

Shen Qianchen asked casually: "Is the monk arriving soon?"

"There are still about ten days." Gu Jue said while carefully adjusting the swaddle in his arms.

As Gu Jue expected, the Hao people headed by Wuhejialou arrived in the capital on May 14th.

The news that this young Emperor Hao is coming to Daqi has long spread throughout the capital, and many people are eagerly waiting to see what this Emperor Hao, who is not much different in age from today, will be like. people.

These days, various speculations have spread throughout the capital. Some people say that Emperor Hao has his ears hanging down from his shoulders, his hands are above his knees, his eyes can only focus on his ears, and his face is like a Rakshasa; some people say that Emperor Hao is like Bai Wuchang, a murderer. Unblinking; some people say that Emperor Hao was seriously injured by the previous pseudo-emperor Wuhaduluo, and his body was weak and skinny...

Various bizarre speculations cannot stop everyone's curiosity about this Emperor Hao.

On the morning of May 14th, thousands of soldiers of the Xuanjia Army started clearing the road from the palace and extended to the south city gate. The area around the city gate was heavily guarded. The soldiers guarding the city gate asked the people to go through other gates instead, because The emperor wants to drive here and personally welcome Emperor Hao into the palace.

Now, people who are not in a hurry don't want to leave anymore.

Whether it is to meet Jin Shang or to meet Emperor Hao, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention the two emperors of the north and south gathering together. If you miss this time, you may not know whether there will be another time in your lifetime.

Everyone craned their necks to look south curiously.

At the end of the official road, the first thing that came into view was white flags fluttering in the wind, and the messy sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.

A team of hundreds of people galloped towards this side. As they got closer, their faces gradually became clearer.

The leader was a twenty-five or six-year-old monk in white clothes, riding a heroic white horse with outstanding grace.

From the position where most people were, they couldn't actually see the monk's face clearly, but they could feel that the aura around him was completely different from the others around him. He stood out from the crowd, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.

The people suddenly burst into flames, talking in all directions:

"Is this Emperor Hao?!" "Why is he a monk!"

"Doesn't a monk need to have six pure roots to become an emperor?"

"Who stipulates that a monk cannot be an emperor?"

“…”

Various arguments were heard one after another, and there was a lot of noise all around.

Someone in the crowd said, "I remember that Emperor Hao came to the capital seven or eight years ago, right?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Immediately, someone with knowledge of the matter started talking about Wuhao Jialou’s mission to Daqi as the eldest prince Nanhao. Speaking of this, it was inevitable to mention the Nanhao coup and the pseudo-emperor Wuhao Duluo.

It has to be said that the current Emperor Hao, Wuha Jialou, is also a legendary figure.

Wuhejialou was first deprived of the throne by his uncle Wuheduluo. Once he fell into the mortal world, he did not give up and accept his fate. He secretly formed an alliance with Jinshang Gu Jue, and in just one year, he gained several vassals such as Haozhou and Jiaozhou. With the support of the king, he took over one-third of the territory of Hao Kingdom. After that, he started a four-year north-south confrontation with the puppet emperor Wuhaduluo.

At that time, in order to regain the territory south of the Pearl River, Wuhaduluo recruited his own troops in Nanhao Kingdom and levied them violently, which caused complaints from the people of Hao Kingdom. Many people in the country could not bear the tyranny and rebelled; but Wuhejialou took the following measures The method of joining forces vertically and horizontally unites many surrounding small countries, forms alliances, and strengthens itself step by step.

In four years, Wuhaduluo lost the support of the people and caused the Hao Kingdom to fall apart. However, Wuhejialou became famous and turned the tide step by step until he finally unified the Hao Kingdom two years ago. The false emperor Wuhaduluo drank his sword and committed suicide.

Two years ago in the spring, Wuhajialou ascended the throne and took back the throne that should have belonged to him.

After five years of civil strife, Nanhao was devastated, and it was only in the past two years that it began to recuperate little by little.

In the past two years, the exchanges between the north and the south have become increasingly frequent, and some news about Nan Hao has been brought from time to time. Therefore, many people in Daqi know the story of the current Hao Emperor, and many people have made it up with jealousy. Playbook.

The people were talking excitedly, and at the same time, a group of Hao people on the official road came closer.

The monk in white at the front is none other than Uhagalou.

Wuhejialou looked straight at the handsome young man riding a black horse at the city gate, smiled slightly, and even the white horse under his crotch seemed to feel his good mood, and barked twice.

Gu Jue was wearing a crimson leather suit, and he was in high spirits. The sunlight coated his whole body with a layer of light gold powder, and he had a Yue Zhi Yuan Ting aura all over his body.

The black horse Jueying under Gu Jue's crotch paced happily twice, as if he also recognized his old friend.

Wuhejialou's horse stopped dozens of feet away and looked into Gu Jue's eyes.

At this moment, the people around him were all silent, looking up at the emperors of these two countries.

"You're alright?"

The two said almost at the same time, one cupped his hands, the other made a one-handed Buddha salute, and looked at each other with a smile.

The Wuhejia Tower has a refined temperament, is pure and holy, and is as gentle as the gentle spring breeze;

Gu Juefeng is handsome, noble and graceful, as cold as the clouds in the mountains.

Both of them are like a dragon and a phoenix, with very different looks, temperaments and even ways of dealing with people, but they both have a detachment that is incompatible with the mundane world, and they also have the splendid demeanor of a king.

When the two of them looked at each other and smiled like this, it was as if the sun and the moon reflected each other, releasing an indistinguishable brilliance that eclipsed everyone else around them.

Then, Gu Jue stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Jialou, I have prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome you. We meet again after a long separation. Let's reminisce about the past this time."

Wuhejialou agreed with a smile, and gracefully rode his horse to Gu Jue's side. The two of them rode side by side, advancing leisurely towards the city gate.

Wuhajialou said: "In addition to congratulating your daughter on her full moon, I also want to discuss exchanges and studies between the two countries with you when I come to Daqi."

Wuhajialou and Gu Jue had long planned to recruit suitable young people from the two countries to study in each other's country, not only to learn the strengths of the other country, but also to enhance exchanges between the two countries.

"No rush, let's talk slowly." Gu Jue smiled slightly and asked casually, "How does it feel to visit your old place again?"

"The scenery is still the same, and you can see all the prosperity." Wuhajialou said while looking around, looking at the surrounding environment and the people around it.

This time I came to Daqi from Hao State and went all the way from the north of the Yangtze River to the capital. What I saw and heard deeply touched Wuhajialou and Qinglai who had come to Daqi with him seven years ago.

Daqi has become different, very different from the first time they went to Daqi seven years ago!

Daqi, which was once in decline, has reversed its decline in the past few years and has become more prosperous and more prosperous. Not only are the shops, stalls, etc. along the road more prosperous in business, but also the population is more prosperous. The prosperity of Daqi is also reflected in the most ordinary people. Their clothes, complexions, and demeanor are all different from the past. They are full of hope when they talk about their lives.

Daqi has a completely new look!

Even Chiang Rai has to admit that compared to the current Dahao, Daqi is now better, and Dahao still has a long way to go in the future.

Chiang Rai looked straight at Gu Jue and Wu He Jia Lou in front of him. The past flashed back quickly in front of his eyes, and he felt sincerely in his heart:

Da Qi and Da Hao were both reborn from the ashes under the rule of these two very different emperors!
