C129 Finally, He Discovered the Person Who Had Thrown Him into the Water!

He Dongzizhi nodded, “Thank you for your concern, Seventh Prince. I will protect him.”

Gu Jun’an said blandly, “It doesn’t matter whether he dies or not. I am just worried that some idiots will be sad.” Lan Qingqian thought that Lan Licheng was important to her. If something happened to him, she would probably cry.

When the soldiers returned to their homes, they were all happy. Most of them were rewarded for their military service. Those who didn’t get any military service could get two or three taels of silver. They could go back and see their families.

They walked faster than before. They only took two or three days to get to the imperial city.

When they were about to reach the imperial city, there was news that Gu Xian had already led the officials to wait for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Gu Jun’an frowned and said, “Our Emperor is the best at talking about face.”

“San Qi, you take Xiao Jiu to the manor outside the city. When we get into the city, we will pack up and come back.” Gu Jun’an didn’t want to expose that she was going with them.

“Okay!” San Qi immediately took her and found a horse to ride.

Gu Jun’an didn’t expect that the first one to greet him was the little prince.

She rushed out with her short legs, “Seventh Prince, why didn’t you bring Xiao Jiu back?”

The passion in her eyes quickly turned into disappointment.

Gu Jun’an said coldly, “She is still recovering in the manor.”

“I’ve gone to visit her, but Butler Jiang refused to let me in. She said that it was easy to get the flu on the children.” She sounded aggrieved.

Gu Jun’an said coldly, “You haven’t done your homework? Have you been too free lately?”

Prince Gu turned around and ran away after hearing this. He didn’t dare to ask any questions.

Hmph, Little Nine will definitely go back to the palace tomorrow. It would be the same if he talked to Little Nine tomorrow.

After Gu Jun’an and the other generals bowed, Gu Buji got up from the stool and said, “Good. All of you from the West Province are good. We have won a great victory and raised our pride. We have to thank all of you for taking back the territory of the West Province. I have already ordered the reward of the army.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Only a few soldiers had entered the Imperial City. Most of them had set up camp outside the city.

The sound of firecrackers in the city hadn’t stopped since the soldiers entered the city.

Seeing the emperor on the palanquin, the ministers who followed him immediately rushed over to curry favor with Gu Jun’an. Unexpectedly, Gu Jun’an got on the horse and said to Gu Xinghe, “Help me tell His Majesty that I won’t be attending tonight’s banquet.”

After saying that, he left on his horse towards the quiet streets.

The crowd could only sigh. They went to the generals who had made great contributions and waited for the rewards to be given to them.

Apart from Gu Jun’an, Su Changsheng was the most popular. He was only a minor deputy general in the border. He wasn’t even present when the prince met. Now that he had made a contribution, he had directly replaced Li Duyuan and became the general of the border. Naturally, he was very popular.

Many people surrounded Su Changsheng and immediately greeted him politely, trying to get close to him.

“General Su, you fought beautifully this time. My mother will be celebrating her 60th birthday, so you must come.”

“Sigh, General Su has been at the border all year round. He must have not gotten married yet. My niece is 18 years old and beautiful. She is gentle and virtuous. She is a good match for you.”

“What kind of match is your niece? My sister is my biological daughter. She is dignified and generous. I don’t care about the one in the city. I think General Su and my sister are the best match.”

Su Changsheng had gained power, so many people wanted to get close to him and help him.

The people from the Li family stood far away and watched Su Changsheng talking stiffly in the crowd.

Their eyes were full of hatred. They had received the news of Li Du’s death before the army from the West Continent came back.

They had thought it was just an accident, until someone sent them the news that Li Du had gone to the battlefield to investigate and found that Li Du’s death was strange.

The enemy and Li Du’s men seemed to be all experts. Their wounds were neat, and each move was extremely ruthless. They were professional killers.

They heard that the Seventh Prince’s men had chased him out that day, and he was the only one who came back.

Li Du’s death must have been related to the Seventh Prince’s men.Li Du had just died, but he could not wait to order Su Changsheng to replace him. It seemed that Su Changsheng and Li Du’s hatred was also related.

In the Seventh Prince’s residence, Chun Luo’s eyes turned red when he saw Lan Qingqian. He pulled her into his arms and said, “Your Highness, you’re back. I was so worried. You must bring me with you wherever you go.”

Since Lan Qingqian was born, Chun Luo had been following her. The longest time they had been apart was when she got married. She had escaped from the palace a couple of months ago.

However, this time, they had gone to the Seventh Prince’s palace in the autumn. It was almost the end of the autumn.

Lan Qingqian patted Chun Luo’s back and said, “You’re so old and you’re still crying. Are you ashamed?”

“Your Highness, I saved so many delicious food and toys for you. I was waiting for you to come back.” Lan Qingqian ran into her room as soon as she heard that there was food and toys. She didn’t care about Gu Jun’an at all!

Gu Jun’an humphed in his heart. ‘What a heartless girl!’

Lan Qingqian was sent to the palace to study with Prince Gu.

Today, Tutor Yan talked about many profound things. Lan Qingqian didn’t understand them at the beginning, so she was allowed to play outside.

Lan Qingqian ran away like a little horse in the wild.

Prince Gu, who had an envious look on his face, thought, ‘I want to be a girl too. That way, I won’t have to do so much homework every day!’

While the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden were in bloom, Lan Qingqian wanted to pick some to make tea.

According to what Chun Luo said, she searched in the garden for half a day and finally managed to pick some chrysanthemums.

She squatted and was buried in the flowers. She heard some arrogant and sharp voices, "Take this reckless girl to the palace and beat her to death. If she dares to dirty my dress, I won't even be able to pay for her life!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lan Qingqian's body shivered. She suddenly remembered the voice in the sack. Yes, it was that voice. She jumped up with the basket and saw the face of Lin Gui Fei.

It was her!

Lan Qingqian finally recognized the voice.

The anger in her heart came from this bad woman who ordered her to be thrown into the lake to drown her!

Lin Gui Fei didn't see Lan Qingqian in the flowers and went away. Lan Qingqian followed Lin Gui Fei and thought about how to teach this bad woman who bullied her a lesson.

She followed Lin Gui Fei and secretly went to her side palace. Lan Qingqian angrily stared at her.

Lin Gui Fei arrogantly said, "Your highness, my clothes are dirty because of this lowly maid. Get me another one!"

The maid reached out to take it, but accidentally touched the embroidery on the clothes. Lin Gui Fei was angry, "Take it back. That is the treasure that His Majesty gave me. Can you afford to break it?"

Lan Qingqian looked at the clothes and suddenly had an idea!
