He coughed lightly and tried to change the subject.
"Yingying, she...she has been a little busy recently."
When Gu Wangshu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and doubts gradually arose.
"Busy? Is she busy with something important?"
Chen Chengcheng looked troubled and hesitated, not daring to look directly into Gu Wangshu's focused eyes.
Meng Ying left the General's Mansion for more than four months without any news.
.Chen Chengcheng thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, so he spoke.
"Xiao Shu, actually Yingying...is not in the house."
"Not in the house? Then where is she?" Gu Wangshu's heart was lifted, and he had a vague premonition.
Chen Chengcheng lowered his eyes sadly and sighed softly: "Zhou Ziyan's sudden death hit Yu Yingying hard. Yingying... She left a letter when Zhou Ziyan was buried for more than a month and left without saying goodbye."
Hearing this, Gu Wangshu's face instantly turned ugly. She couldn't help clenching her fists, and her fingertips almost pierced her flesh.
Seeing her gloomy expression, Chen Chengcheng cautiously advised, "Xiao Shu, don't worry too much yet. Meng Yingji has her own destiny, and everything will be fine."
Even she herself didn't believe the words.
Meng Ying is only 17 years old. Since coming to the General's Mansion, she has never traveled far alone.
She didn't dare to think deeply about what a noble lady and a maid would encounter in this war-torn era.
It was summer and the weather was hot, but Gu Wangshu felt chilled all over.
Meng Ying was plotted by Concubine Wen and almost killed her.
Now, Zhou Ziyan was killed by people from the Nalan Kingdom.
Meng Ying must have hated Nalan Kingdom.
Without reading the letter Meng Ying left, Gu Wangshu guessed where she would go and what she would do.
Meng Ying had been gone for four months, and it was impossible to find her.
The road from Yong'an to Nalan is long, and there are bandits, horsemen, and many people with bad intentions along the way.
Meng Ying has been kept in a boudoir for a long time. If she encounters these people, a delicate person like her...
The more Gu Wangshu thought about it, the more frightened he became, as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit.
"Xiao Shu..." Chen Chengcheng looked worried and blamed himself in his heart for not telling Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu had been traumatized by the disappearance of the second prince, and now she learned that Meng Ying's whereabouts were unknown. These two things were like two mountains, weighing her down.
Gu Wangshu sat blankly beside the bed. Chen Chengcheng called several times in succession, but she didn't respond at all.
Suddenly, Gu Wangshu's arms suddenly felt heavy.
A pair of small hands groped back and forth in Gu Wangshu's arms. She came back to her senses and met Chang'an's big, round and bright eyes.
The little guy looked innocent and carefree, babbling without knowing what he was talking about.
The child's cheerful appearance temporarily interrupted Gu Wangshu's sadness.
She smiled: "We in Chang'an don't cry or make trouble, so we are so good."
She gently pinched Gu Changan's fleshy cheek, held him for a while and teased him until he was tired and hungry before handing him over to Chen Chengcheng.
Chen Chengcheng wants to go back to Chengxiangyuan to feed the child.
Gu Wangshu watched the mother and son leave with a smile. When he turned around and walked into the room, the warm smile disappeared instantly.
Seeing his young lady's emotional changes so drastically, Qiu Chi felt very distressed.
"Qiuchi." Gu Wangshu suddenly called her.
Qiu Chi quickly agreed: "What are your instructions, Miss?"
"Follow me to the study. I have something to ask you."
Qiu Chi was puzzled and followed Gu Wangshu into the study step by step.
Gu Wangshu sat at his desk, took a few deep breaths, suppressed all the negative emotions, and put all the sadness behind him these days.
She closed her eyes tightly for a long time before slowly opening them.
She had been in a state of confusion for more than ten days. She could no longer continue like this and must cheer up.
"I think you have given the letter entrusted to you by Your Highness to your second uncle?" Gu Wangshu asked.
Qiu Chi nodded with a solemn look on his face: "After the slave handed the letter to the second master, the second master immediately went to see the saint."
"Okay!" Gu Wangshu pursed his lips and continued to ask: "In that case, do you know who your Majesty sent to Lingjiang Kingdom?"
Qiu Chi naturally knows this.
"He is this year's top scholar in a new subject. His surname is Chen and his name is Zui."
"It is said that this man is capable of both literary and military skills. The court proposed the same plan of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" as His Highness the Second Highness did to solve the crisis Helian faced."
Chen Zui, the new top scholar?
Gu Wangshu carefully recalled his past life and had no impression of this person.
At this time in the previous life, at this time in the previous life, the person on the throne was no longer He Lian Ao, but He Lian Huan.
Because Nalan State launched a fierce attack on Helian, the imperial examinations this year were not held as scheduled.
That's why talents like Chen Zui are blocked.
"When did Chen Zui leave for Lingjiang?"
Qiu Chi calculated and said: "About four months ago, after the second master gave His Majesty the letter from His Highness, Your Majesty sent Mr. Chen as an envoy to Lingjiang Kingdom on the morning of the next day."
Gu Wangshu was stunned.
Chen Zui's departure time can be said to be very fast, but why did Nalan not recall Fu Xingguo until more than three months later?
What else happened in the middle?
Gu Wangshu and Helianhuan have been guarding Jianning City and are completely unaware of the changes in Yongan City and the surrounding countries of Helian.
Seeing Gu Wangshu taking the initiative to ask about Chen Zui, Qiuchi told him everything he knew.
"Miss, do you know that Helian, Dongling, Zhao and Dashuo are attacking Daliang? A battle report came from Qingyun Pass. Our Helian not only broke through the border pass of Daliang, but also captured three cities in a row. The march has not stopped. rest."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
"Daliang is facing attacks from the four neighboring countries at the same time. It probably won't last long, and the country may be destroyed. I heard that Master Chen was responsible for the disaster of Daliang, but I don't know how he did it. ”
"Also, Mr. Chen just returned to Yong'an a few days ago. His Majesty held a reception banquet for him. He should not be called Mr. Chen at this moment, but should be the Marquis."
Speaking of this, Qiu Chi looked admiring.
"This is the first time that this servant has seen a man who became a Marquis at a young age. He can single-handedly convince Ling Jiang and Xuanyuan to attack Nalan Kingdom, and can also instigate the neighboring countries to annex Daliang. Chen Marquis's clever plan I'm afraid only the young lady and His Highness can compare."
"What did you say?" Gu Wangshu was shocked by Qiu Chi's words.
"What?" Qiu Chi was full of doubts.
"Did you just say that Ling Jiang and Xuanyuan attacked Nalan together?"
"Yes! Lord Chen also killed Nalan's counselor Shen Shiyan in Lingjiang Kingdom."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
One explosive piece of information after another shocked Gu Wangshu on the spot.
She lowered her eyes and thought deeply, understanding something.
If Ling Jiang helps Helian, he will be worried that Xuanyuan will take advantage of the opportunity.
In order to dispel Ling Jiang's worries, Lord Chen should choose to go to Xuanyuan to convince King Xuanyuan.
And he really succeeded in convincing King Lingjiang and King Xuanyuan at the same time.
This person's methods are simply extraordinary.
Gu Wangshu got up and went straight to his second uncle's study.
Qiuchi is a maid, and her knowledge of what happened in the court is limited. If she wants to know the details, she still has to ask her second uncle.
