Chapter 487 Time is not forgiving
Yu Shui poked his head out to take a look outside and said, "It should be the young master who has returned. Hey, master, where are you going?"
After hearing that Gu Qingyuan had returned, Wen Shubai stood up eagerly and walked out with unsteady steps.
"Since my wife is back, I think she must have found the two children. I'll go take a look."
The rain quickly followed him.
When Gu Qingyuan brought his people back home and was about to rest for a while before going out to look for someone, he saw Wen Shubai walking towards him in a hurry.
"Hey, Ah Bai, you..."
Wen Shubai looked behind her, but did not see the two children.
There was a hint of blue in his eyes, and he looked exhausted.
He moved his lips, and even spoke as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Wife, have you found them?"
Gu Qingyuan was silent for a moment.
She and the people from the general's mansion were looking for the two children.
But the capital city is so big that they couldn't find it even after staying up all night.
Without hearing her answer, Wen Shubai felt as if his heart had fallen into an icy cave.
He forced another smile and said, "Maybe those two kids were just mischievous and got lost."
But they had never stayed out all night like this before, and the thought of what might happen to the two children made him so sad that he couldn't breathe.
Gu Qingyuan called Yushui to bring Wen Shubai back to the house, "You probably haven't eaten yet, have a good sleep after dinner, and I will bring you back when you wake up."
Wen Shubai shook his head and said, "My dear wife, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat together."
"it is good."
In fact, Gu Qingyuan didn't have much appetite. How could she feel at ease when two children disappeared?
But in order to have enough energy to continue looking for the two children, she still sat down and had breakfast with Wen Shubai.
She saw that Wen Shubai had only eaten two bites, and forced him to finish the rest, and then let Yu Shui take him back to rest.
Before entering the house, Wen Shubai turned around and said to her, "My wife hasn't rested all night either, otherwise I would go out and find someone..."
Gu Qingyuan immediately refused.
Then she went out in a hurry with her people.
In the palace.
The Sixth Princess received news from her subordinates that the General's Mansion and the Gu family had been looking for the two children.
She pulled her lips into a smile.
The place where he took the two children was almost outside the city. If they looked for them in the capital, it would take an unknown amount of time to find them.
"Green Bamboo."
The Sixth Princess called out to the outside.
A palace maid in green clothes stepped in and asked, "Your Highness, you called me?"
The Sixth Princess nodded and said, "The Queen Mother has been in poor health lately. You and I will go visit her later, bringing some supplements."
Cuizhu quickly agreed.
Now, there is no one in the palace who can compete with her.
As long as the queen mother dies, she will be the most noble person in the world.
After bringing her belongings to the Queen's residence, the Sixth Princess saw the Queen sitting there and approached her with concern, "How is your health lately, Mother? You should get more rest."
The queen put down the brush in her hand and raised her hand to press her neck.
The Sixth Princess understood what she meant and immediately came to massage her back, saying, "Sitting for a long time can make your neck uncomfortable. Let me give you a massage."
The Queen sighed deeply and said, "Time is merciless. I only now realize that I am truly old."
When she was young, she would still feel refreshed the next day even if she stayed up late to handle work.
But now, she felt tired even if she just sat still.
Also, when riding a horse and shooting arrows, the reaction is not as good as before.
The Sixth Princess said, "How could the Queen Mother be old? I see you are still the same as before. It's just that you may be too tired recently. You just need to rest more."
The Queen knew that she was comforting herself. So many years had passed, how could she be the same as before?
Even at night, she would feel her eyes were a little blurry, which had never happened before.
While massaging the Queen's neck, the Sixth Princess glanced at the things on the table.
On the table were reports of income and expenditure from various places submitted by court officials. She took a quick look and then looked away.
"How about I accompany you for a walk?" suggested the Sixth Princess.
"Alright, I feel like I can't concentrate on anything right now. Please accompany me to Yun Guijun's place."
The two children left by the former princess are still being raised by Yun Guijun.
They were raised by Yun Guijun, and a teacher would come to give them lessons every day.
As the two children grew up day by day, the Sixth Princess gradually felt a sense of crisis.
None of them can be left alive!
If it weren't for them, she would be the only princess in the palace and the most qualified person to inherit the throne.
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't seen these two imperial sisters for a while. I will take you there now."
The distance from here to Yunguijun is not short.
In order to show her thoughtfulness, the Sixth Princess specially prepared a sedan chair for the Queen and asked the palace servants to carry her there.
And she followed behind the sedan chair.
Came to the palace of Yun Guijun.
Yun Guijun seemed very surprised at the arrival of the Queen.
He gestured with his hands to welcome them.
In the courtyard, two little princesses were studying seriously with their teacher.
It was not until the Queen came over that the teacher wanted to get up to greet her, but the Queen waved her hand and asked her to go back and continue teaching the two little princesses.
After finishing their lessons for the day, the two little princesses ran to the queen's side.
"What did Xiaoyao and Xiaoli learn today?"
Wen Yao and Wen Li are the names of the two little princesses.
The two answered in unison, "We have learned the Four Books and Five Classics, and today the Master has assigned us the task of reciting them."
The Queen randomly asked them a few sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the two of them actually recited them directly, which earned the Queen's admiring gaze.
She looked at Yun Guijun, who was standing there with a smile on his face, and said to him, "You've worked hard taking care of the two children."
He waved his hands and shook his head to indicate that it was not hard.
These two children are now his hope.
The third princess was not his biological child. He spoiled her too much, which led to her doing something wrong.
He was no longer the same when taking care of the two children.
Fortunately, the two children are sensible and obedient.
The two of them called the Empress "Mother Queen" in a baby voice, and turned to the Sixth Princess and said respectfully, "Greetings, Imperial Sister."
The Sixth Princess smiled slightly, squatted down and hugged them.
Looking at the harmonious scene before her, the queen felt relieved.
That’s good, she was afraid that Lao Liu wouldn’t be able to accommodate these two children.
But she heard that the Sixth Princess would occasionally come to visit the two children and bring them gifts.
