    Although Li Chongyan went up to Tuanshan Mountain on the fourth night of the twelfth lunar month and rushed to the Monan Qingyuan, everything in Yizhou was not in chaos.

    Under his arrangements before leaving, Yan Lin was ordered to lead troops to strengthen the security of Yiyang City. Wei Danhua, the head of the Wei family, also assisted as deputy general; Ye Xun presided over the official school of the state; all government offices in Yizhou continued to operate as usual.

    On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Chun, in his capacity as Princess Ding, issued an order to the whole territory of Yizhou: from now on, the state funeral ceremony will be carried out, banquets, drinking, dancing and music will be banned for fifteen days, and officials will be in mourning for seven days, and all other affairs will remain as usual.

    When the palace was first established half a year ago, some people were sent from Beijing to assist in various aspects of affairs.  This group of people had been left idle by Li Chongyan since they arrived in Yizhou. They had long been resentful, but they were also afraid of Li Chongyan's reputation on the battlefield, so they could only slander them.

    Now that Li Chongyan is not in Yiyang City, they naturally seize the opportunity to unite and fight back.  Under the instigation of Gao Gugu, this group of people issued fierce objections one after another, saying that the death of the late emperor was a great mourning for the country, and according to the ancestral system, it should be "cut off for three years."

    The so-called "Three Years of Death" is the longest type of the Great Jin mourning system, which means that within three years, civil and military officer examinations will not be held, serving officials will have to eat cold food for three years, no marriages will be allowed, and mourning rituals will be offered every day.

    When Gu Chun was in Tuanshan, although she could not intervene in many things because she was not a member of the Tun Army, she had been the final candidate designated by the Ye family since she was sixteen.

    That is to say, if the main force of the garrison is defeated and annihilated, she will cooperate with the branch of the Si family on behalf of the Ye family to ensure that the elderly and children in the village are safely evacuated.

    Therefore, Ye Xun once taught her how to "preserve" in times of crisis.

    Although she didn¡¯t understand the major issues in government affairs, she had a clear idea of ??what to do now.

    Once the "Three Years of Decline" ceremony is carried out as those people said, many affairs in Yizhou will have to make way for this mourning system, which is equivalent to letting all government offices sit idle for three years, which is an unimaginable consequence.

    So Gu Chun chose the fifteen-day mourning system in a relatively compromise way, despite all opinions.

    Angered, Aunt Gao threatened to resign from Gu Chun, but Gu Chun readily agreed and let her leave Yizhou to settle on her own.

    Gu Chun's action made it impossible for Aunt Gao to come to Taiwan, so she could only pack up her bags and leave, returning to the Central Plains to join her son.

    ****

    Emperor Guanghua passed away suddenly after leaving a cowardly final message, leaving the court in chaos.

    On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Xingye¡¯s secret line in Beijing sent a message to Yizhou: Prince Ning¡¯s camp had essentially placed the eldest princess under house arrest, and she could not even leave the inner city due to the imperial edict.

    As for King Ping, he has always been more radical and fierce than King Ning. Now fifty thousand soldiers from the government have gathered in Yuanzhou and surrounded several important towns in Yuanzhou.

    Strangely, in the face of such a situation of troops approaching the city, Yun Anlan, who was in charge of Yuanzhou, did not immediately fight back.

    "This Princess Wu'an, what is she thinking about?" Yan Lin scratched his head, puzzled.

    Gu Chun glanced at him strangely, turned around and said to a passing waiter: "If you see Uncle De later, please tell him to have the lanterns inside the palace gate changed to white."

    Uncle De has been so busy inside and outside these days that he doesn't pay much attention to such small details.

    The waiter naturally took the order and left.

    Yan Lin curled his lips in annoyance and sighed: "The Central Plains has turned into a pot of porridge, and everyone in the court is in full swing around the dragon chair. Who is really in charge of the national funeral? We are the only ones who are honest."

    "I don't know what to do more rightly. I only know that at least it won't go wrong." Gu Chun smiled and said as he walked, "Now the whole world is staring at Prince Ding's Mansion. If people don't catch the handle, they won't be able to do it easily."  Being dragged down.¡±

    She wants to buy time for Li Chongyan so that he can have no worries for the time being and concentrate on destroying Jiarong.  As for what he will do next, she won't have to worry about it when he returns in triumph.

    She thought for a moment and then said to Yan Lin, "You don't need to bother guessing what Princess Wu'an is thinking. She has her own reasons for standing still. We can't help you for the time being, so don't cause trouble. Since His Highness asked you to strengthen Yiyang  Just focus on defense, and wait until he comes back to talk about other things."

    She said it simply. Yan Lin thought about it carefully and realized that the truth behind it was really that simple, so he said no more, nodded and left.

    ****

    On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Xingye came in a hurry again.

    Gu Chun sat in the chair in the study, leaning his chin on his head and smiling, "It's strange, you are clearly covering your face. Why do I always feel like I can see that your face is full of worry and anger?"

    Feng Xingye was full of anxiety and was not in the mood to joke with her. He could only say hastily: "Your Highness ordered me to deliver a letter to Princess Wu'an before leaving, but everyone in YuanzhouShe didn't run away; she was calm and smiling when facing King Ping. Even the bunch of hair that was sent back to Yizhou was cut off by herself.

    Maybe he was satisfied with her knowledge, or maybe he hadn't wanted to completely break up with Li Chongyan yet. Prince Ping was indeed polite to her. Not only did he find a doctor for Miao Huichun and the two guards as per her request, but he also didn't treat her well these days.  No harm done to her.

    Except that she couldn¡¯t step out of the small room, she was well fed and clothed and not treated harshly.

    But just before she was escorted to the tower, perhaps to prevent her from saying something she shouldn't say, someone poured Ruanjin powder into her mouth, making her whole body weak.

    That is a very common Ruanjin powder, which will only make people weak in their limbs when their minds are clear.

    However, these days, she was too calm and cooperative, which made Prince Ping maintain the corresponding hypocritical politeness and never ordered anyone to search her body.

    So, they didn¡¯t notice that she had a silver needle in her sleeve.

    Although she is mediocre in diagnosing pulses and prescribing medicine, the best skill she has learned since joining Ji Shi Tang's disciples is identifying acupuncture points and inserting needles.

    She knows very well which acupuncture points to prick with needles, which can stimulate the body's strength in the shortest time and enable the limbs to gain short-term mobility.

    When she was suspended from the tower, she knew that the opportunity had come.

    At this time, King Ping was standing at the top of the city, busy confronting Li Chongyan. If she was lucky enough, no one on the top of the city would pay special attention to her.

    Those people just tied her up and did not tie her hands alone, so they did not realize that the silver needle had been hidden in her palm for a long time, and the needle tip sank into the tiger's mouth and Hegu point¡ª¡ª

    The weakness and weakness just now were all fake.

    That Ruanjin San didn¡¯t even have time to take effect, and she could still hold on for at least half an hour.

    The whistling cold wind almost turned her face numb. When the vague calls of birds on the treetops to the right of the city gate reached her ears, she didn't even understand what they meant.

    But she heard the most crucial information from the bird's voice whistle. The person on the treetop was Ye Xingluo.

    So Gu Chun slowly opened a gap in his beautiful eyes, looked at Li Chongyan's figure under the tower from a distance, and blinked at him as hard as he could.

    She knew that he had excellent eyesight and could definitely see it.

    When Li Chongyan raised his head and met her eyes from a distance, she immediately let out a bird whistle¡ª¡ª

    "A Shu, catch me!"

    King Ping on the city wall finally realized something was wrong and immediately shouted "Drag her up", but Gu Chun blurted out almost at the same time as him -

    "Aluo shoots the arrow!"

    After speaking, he knocked his heels against the city wall, swung his body forward, and revealed the ropes that bound him.

    She and Ye Xingluo have been dependent on each other for nearly ten years. They are not blood relatives but are better than blood relatives.  It can be said that the tacit understanding between her and Ye Xingluo is even hard to match by Li Chongyan.

    Before Gu Chun¡¯s words could even be heard, the leaves on the treetops on the right side of the city wall had already moved in response.

    The arrows of the crossbow were sharpened on all sides. Thanks to Ye Xingluo's skillful skill of crossing the Yangtze River at hundreds of steps, it came through the wind and accurately cut the rope. Gu Chun, dressed in plain white robes, rose from the city wall like a fresh flower.  Drifting down in the wind.

    Li Chongyan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, galloped forward on his horse and held her firmly in his arms.

    No danger.

    Gu Chun looked up at him with a sweet smile and murmured softly, "A Shu, happy New Year."

    Today is New Year¡¯s Eve.

    After going through this ups and downs in his heart, Li Chongyan couldn't laugh or cry. He could only protect her tightly in his arms with his whole body, and then he raised his hand to whip his whip at the team behind him¡ª¡ª
