Chapter 666 Elopement
Li Yueji's mood had improved a little. Perhaps because of too little expectations, although she was a stranger from a foreign race, she found that the Emperor of Zhou was very young and looked good after seeing Guo Shao, which made Li Yueji feel a little better.
However, the attitude of Zhou people made Li Yueji very dissatisfied. This man didn't take her seriously at all. What kind of person is he?
Even the Wuzang clan was very angry: "We give up Lin, the two prefectures, and don't want armor, because the emperor of Zhou named the princess one of the fourth ladies and had a very respectful identity. Now that the court despises the princess so much, what's the use of even getting a title?"
His son, Wu Zhao Ge, was even more furious: "Princess Yueji is like a fairy in our hearts, but he was so defamed by the people of Zhou. Dangxiang people's face was thrown away! They had not married Princess Yueji, so they pretended to behave like this. In the future, can the princess have a good life in Zhou? It would be better if this marriage fails. Our Dangxiang Erlang takes up the weapons and divides the winner and lose the noble and the inferior!"
Wuzang frowned and said, "It cannot be considered as not being married. The betrothal gifts and dowry are all ready, and the emperor's imperial edict book has been accepted. Suddenly repentance is of great importance."
"It's too much!" Brother Hu was so angry that his arms trembled.
Wuzang frowned and said, "Don't be impatient. According to the people of Zhou, this matter is not too much. After all, we Dangxiang people are ministers and they are kings... The people of Zhou have never treated Dangxiang people equally.
I think this way, the princess can pretend to be sick. When the emperor sends someone to pick him up, he will say he is unwell and delay first. He will definitely let the emperor come to greet the princess in person."
After hearing what they said, Li Yueji also said, "I heard Uncle Wuzang's words. How could we be so arrogant about getting married? It's so funny. Can you still stand up straight in your husband's house in the future? I'm not a big deal, for fear of losing the face of the Dangxiang people."
After a few people discussed it, everyone lived in the Lingzhou Etiquette Hall.
The next evening, Brother Ku suddenly asked to see Li Yueji. Li Yueji grew up with him and still trusted him very much, so he asked him to go to the house to ask what he was doing.
Brother Ku said in a deep voice: "I found a place to be in Lingzhou City yesterday to avoid being prepared. The wall was short and the ladders and horses were ready. The princess would run away with me tonight!"
Li Yueji was shocked.
Brother Ku glanced at her and said, "The place where the wall climbed is in Dongcheng. We leave Lingzhou and walk eastward. As long as we climb over the dilapidated Great Wall, the road back to Xiazhou will be unobstructed!"
Li Yueji walked around the room. Brother Ku kept persuading him.
The anger in her heart also aroused: "We are sincerely marrying it, and the father and the nobles of Dangxiang are not sorry for Zhou. Now I have gone to the military camp of Zhou people. They are not treating me well. Even if I run away privately, I will not blame my father..."
Brother Ku was overjoyed after hearing this: "The princess is right!"
Li Yueji is not that ordinary woman. She dares to do it if she dares to speak. She immediately packed up some things and dry food for the road.
In the middle of the night, she followed Brother Ku and quietly took out the ceremony hall. Brother Ku and carefully covered the hooves of the two horses with linen and put bamboo strips on the horse's mouth.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the ceremony hall, a door opposite opened. Under the moonlight, a thin person walked out. Who wasn't Lu Duosun? Lu Duosun asked in Chinese: "It's so late, where are you going?"
Brother Ku hurriedly helped Li Yueji, and both of them turned over. Brother Ku said, "Go!"
Lu Duosun shouted, and the torches in the door lit up for a while. The Han official seemed to be suspicious of Brother Ku who was following him, but he did not expect the two of them to escape privately, and no one was chasing him for a while.
Life behind was noisy, and the sound of shouting came. Li Yueji's heart was pounding. She was nervous, and she was very excited to escape with Brother Ku under the moonlight.
...
Guo Shao was awakened by the eunuch Wang Zhong on the bed. Wang Zhong said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I dare not bother you easily, but... Dangxiang woman Li Yueji and her lover ran away privately!"
Guo Shao was still vague at first and didn't come back to his senses. It took him a while to understand what was going on.
Li Yueji elopes?
He was just a pretty woman, and Guo Shao had no feelings for her, and she wanted to run away by herself... According to Guo Shao's usual habits, he didn't feel anything at first.
But gradually, he came to his senses. This woman was not only a Dangxiang woman, but also a concubine of the Emperor of Great Zhou and his own woman!
First, he realized the seriousness of the matter. The concubines of the Great Zhou royal family actually elope with other men. How could the royal family have faced each other? Then an inexplicable shame and anger surged in his heart...
Guo Shao felt that he had always respected women very much and had basically no idea of violence and forced... but it was obviously because he had not encountered anything, which stimulated the possessiveness of men.
He felt very unhappy. On the one hand, he felt very uncomfortable and humiliated, and on the other hand, he felt that he was a big villain, just like a villain who blocked a true love couple on TV!
"Is he?" Guo Shao immediately cursed.
Wang Zhong's voice hurriedly said, "The Dangxiang people are barbarians, they are not educated and do not follow etiquette, and are shameless, and they do such shameless things..."
Guo Shao took a deep breath, held back his anger, and suddenly sat up: "Where did you run? Is anyone chasing me?"
Wang Zhong said: "Go back to Your Majesty, run eastward, and the people on duty on Shuofang Army chased out first. The Imperial Guards focused on guarding the palace. The Dangxiang people sent their relatives and horses and did not bring troops to come. No one expected that such a thing would happen. There was no war in Lingzhou City, but many tribal leaders came, and Shuofang Army also focused on public security in the city. They suddenly ran away and were discovered by Envoy Lu, but they had no time to mobilize their troops to intercept them, so they let them go..."
Guo Shao put on his own clothes quickly, Wang Zhong came up to serve, Guo Shao said, "Don't waste time here, who is on duty in the palace tonight?"
Wang Zhong said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the head coach Dong Zunhui."
Guo Shao said: "Immediately, first, ask Dong Zunhui to send a vanguard to chase Shuofang's soldiers and horses, second, gather cavalry to wait. I will go and catch the woman in person!"
Wang Zhong hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty's body is like asking the general to do it."
Guo Shao said: "A great shame! Can I still stay? Go quickly!"
Wang Zhong had no choice but to bow and say, "Abide by the order."
