Shen Yizhi chewed the meatball and said, "But aren't you busy?"
He had so many papers to approve every day and met with so many ministers. Sometimes he would fall asleep with her and then get up again to deal with affairs. Several times she woke up in the middle of the night and saw him busy behind the desk.
Gu Xueting smiled and said, "Zhizhi, you have to know that you are the most important to me."
The reason why he took over the responsibilities as an emperor was just to create a peaceful and prosperous age for her, where the sea, rivers and rivers would be clear, so that she could enjoy it all without any worries.
Shen Yizhi's heartbeat was uncontrollable again, "If you continue like this, what will those historians write about me? I don't want to be a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country."
“Let’s see who dares to write randomly.” Gu Xueting’s tone was calm, but extremely domineering.
The matter of leaving the palace was settled in this way.
Early the next morning, after Gu Xueting went to court, he returned to the bedroom. He dug Shen Yizhi out of the bed and put her in some more ordinary clothes.
I also changed into regular clothes.
He didn’t even eat breakfast, so he left the palace in a carriage.
The carriage looks low-key and ordinary from the outside, but it is very spacious and comfortable inside, with pillows, snacks, and story books all provided.
Shen Yizhi lay beside the window and looked out.
Before entering the palace, in order not to spread the reputation of her beauty, she rarely had the opportunity to go out on the street openly. Now when she looks at everything outside, she feels very fresh.
Gu Xueting came from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Where do you want to go first?"
“I went to have breakfast. I heard that Liuji wontons taste very good. I want to try them.”
"good."
A moment later, the two of them sat in a Liuji Wonton Restaurant.
The wonton restaurant is very small, with only four tables set up, but the business is very good, and they are all full. Later customers have no room to sit, so they simply eat outside the restaurant, or go to the breakfast shop next door.
The wonton stall is right at the door. The owners are a couple. The husband is responsible for kneading and serving wontons, while the wife is responsible for entertaining the guests. They are very busy.
The scent of wontons wafts out.
The thin-skinned wontons with generous fillings are served in a large porcelain bowl. The wonton soup is very clear but full of fragrance. There are shrimps, green vegetables and chopped green onions floating on it. Just the smell of the wontons will make your mouth water.
Shen Yizhi was so greedy that he sniffed and stared longingly. Seeing this, Gu Xueting scratched her face in a funny way, "Don't worry, Zhu Xiu has already bought it and will eat it soon."
Shen Yizhi hurriedly reminded him: "I want spicy food, so let him remember to add a spoonful of hot sauce for me."
After the wontons were put into the carriage, Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting sat on both sides of the small coffee table and started eating.
“Huh, it’s so spicy, but it’s delicious.” Shen Yizhi stuck out his tongue while eating. He couldn’t stop eating, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Gu Xueting wiped her sweat.
After breakfast, the whole carriage smelled like wontons. Shen Yizhi pulled Gu Xueting out of the carriage to disperse the smell.
The two of them walked along the long street to eat, and while shopping, they looked at various snacks, cloth shoes and socks, antique paintings, rouge and gouache... Shen Yizhi looked at it with great interest, and even bought a candy man, held it in his hand and licked it slowly With.
Gu Xueting asked: "Is it sweet?"
"sweet."
"Let me have a taste." Gu Xueting grabbed her wrist and bit off the candy man's head in one bite.
“Well, it’s really sweet.”
Shen Yizhi looked at the candy man missing his head and kicked him in anger.
Gu Xueting took out a bunch of candies with his backhand: "Don't be upset, don't be upset, I'll give you all these, okay?"
Looking at the bunch of colorful candy figures in his hand, Shen Yizhi forgave him magnanimously.
A child on the side of the road looked at the large bunch of candy figures in her hand with envy.
Shen Yizhi felt a little embarrassed by him, so he picked one and handed it to him.
The child happily took it and said, "Thank you, sister."
Shen Yizhi was strutting through the market with a bunch of candy figures. Gu Xueting held her in his arms and was responsible for buying the things she liked.
Zhu Xiuze became a hard-working porter, and his arms were almost too full to hold.
After shopping enough, the two of them entered a restaurant with a lot of traffic.
With so many people eating it, it must taste good.
The lobby was already full, and the waiter led the group of people to a private room upstairs.
Yajian is facing the Sanchun River, a branch of the moat. The banks of the river are covered with green grass and weeping willows are like mist, creating a thriving late spring scene.
There is a awning boat rowing slowly on the river, and a group of children are playing Cuju in the distance.
Suddenly, a Cuju was accidentally kicked away and fell into the river.
The captain of the awning boat used a bamboo pole to pick up the Cuju and made it fly back again. The children left a string of thanks and ran away again.
Shen Yizhi raised the corners of his mouth.
The waiter put down the last dish and said, "You two, please use it slowly."
As the waiter exited, something unexpected happened. A group of men in black broke through the wall and broke in. With shining swords in their hands, they stabbed three people in the room, mainly Gu Xueting.
Gu Xueting kicked the table towards the assassin, stepped in front of Shen Yizhi, carried her out of the window, and landed on the ground.
The assassins followed closely, surrounded the two men, and attacked them.
As the emperor, Gu Xueting went on patrol incognito, so he was naturally accompanied by secret guards. However, these secret guards received an order from Gu Xueting not to show up.
Helping, the secret guards could only continue to hide in the darkness.
Gu Xueting protected Shen Yizhi while resisting the assassin.
The God Emperor Pearl was still giving him advice: "Master, these assassins have come at just the right time for you to use the torture trick. Later, if you deliberately expose a flaw and get stabbed with a sword, the hostess will be extremely distressed. Then you can take the opportunity to sell her. I'm so pitiful, but I don't have to worry about conquering the mistress's heart!"
Gu Xueting thought it was quite reasonable, which was why he didn't let the secret guard come out.
The secret guard is out, how can he still perform?
So, a moment later, the assassins all lay down on the ground, dead and wounded. Gu Xueting was hit by a sword in the shoulder.
At this time, Nancheng's military commander hurried over with a group of people. The moment he saw Gu Xueting, his legs were so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees, "Wei minister, the rescue is too late!"
The sword in Gu Xueting's hand was dripping with bright red blood beads, which made people tremble with fear, fearing that he would just stab him with the sword.
After all, he has done this kind of thing a lot in the past.
Just when everyone was frightened, a worried female voice sounded: "You are injured! Zhu Xiu, hurry up, go get the carriage, and let's go back to the palace quickly."
"I'm fine, don't worry Zhizhi." Gu Xueting said in a weak voice.
“You said it’s okay, but you probably don’t know how ugly your face is now! Okay, stop talking, so as not to injure the wound.”
Shen Yizhi helped him get into the carriage and urged Zhu Xiu to return to the palace quickly.
The soldiers and horsemen who were kneeling on the spot could not help but feel like they were surviving a disaster.
