Chapter 650: Princess 6 receives the order
Yan Yu returned to Prince Dijin's mansion, and Ning Yunxi went around to the back door and went to the second room of Gao's mansion.
The busy hour was approaching, Qiu Bi got up in the morning, washed and dressed, and was about to go out when she happened to run into her master.
"Princess, may you be blessed with peace and happiness."
Ning Yunxi reached out and helped in time.
"The ground is dusty. Stop kneeling and stand up."
Qiu Bi looked touched.
"The princess has come all the way to pick you up. I am flattered."
Ning Yunxi looked at her, feeling both amused and helpless.
"loquacious."
"I told you yesterday that I would visit the Minister of the Secret Affairs, Mr. Gu, early this morning."
Qiu Bi rolled her eyes to the sky and pretended to be jealous and angry.
"Yes, yes, I know. I am not worthy."
"The princess is noble, even if she comes to visit, it's for Her Highness the Sixth Princess."
Ning Yunxi lightly touched her forehead with her fingertips.
"Stop talking, naughty boy."
"Is she awake?"
Qiu Bi reported the situation.
"Because he had to receive an imperial decree, my father ordered the maid to guard the door of Qiheju's bedroom and summon the Sixth Princess as soon as she woke up."
"My father waited for a long time but to no avail, so he went to the Supervisory Office to do his work."
"Now, it's the mother who's in charge of this."
"I don't know whether she has woken up or not. Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and ask her."
Ning Yunxi followed her footsteps.
"I'll go with you."
The master and his servant came to Meijiaoju in the east courtyard, where Mrs. Gao Jiaotian lived.
Upon hearing the report, Jiao Tian came out to greet and pay his respects.
"Princess Yuexi, may you be blessed with peace and happiness."
"I didn't know the princess was coming, but I was disrespectful for not being able to greet her from afar."
Ning Yunxi helped her up.
"Mrs. Gao, there's no need to be so polite. Please come in and have a chat."
Jiao Tian gestured for invitation and then gave the order to the servant.
"Princess please go first."
"Someone, bring the tea."
Entering, Qiu Bi bowed.
"I wish you all the best, mother."
Jiao Tian was reluctant to let his beloved daughter kneel for a long time, but the princess was present, so he should not neglect the face she should give, so he asked one more question.
"Do you remember to pay respect to the princess?"
Qiu Bi replied.
"We just bumped into each other and I bowed to you."
Jiao Tian smiled faintly.
"Bi'er knows how to be polite. I am glad for your mother. Please sit down."
Qiu Bi thanked the grace and took a seat, while explaining the reason.
"Thank you, mother."
"Princess Yulin, I am here to ask if the Sixth Princess has woken up?"
Jiao Tian lowered his head and answered solemnly.
"Reporting to the princess, the princess has not woken up yet."
Ning Yunxi felt very strange.
"She should be awake by now."
"Did you use the wrong dosage, big brother?"
Qiu Bi speculated.
"I think Emperor Yue was afraid that the Sixth Princess would wake up early, so he increased the dosage."
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
"That makes sense. That's exactly what an older brother would do."
She sighed helplessly.
"Alas, don't take too much of that medicine. I'll go save her."
Jiao Tian stood up, walked to the jade rack, and took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Princess, please. I will accompany you."
"Come here, prepare the carriage quickly."
The three of them got on the carriage and quickly arrived at the South Courtyard via the main road within the mansion.
When Zhiqi and Gu Yihe were living together, they found that Gu Yihe was in a deep sleep and made almost no sound, but fortunately, her life was not in danger.
Ning Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, took out the silver needle bag and gave her acupuncture.
Jiao Tian and her daughter waited by the side, watching the rescue process in silence.
After completing the acupuncture and drawing blood, Ning Yunxi put away the medical tools, stood up and left the bedside.
"It's all right now. She will wake up soon."
Qiu Bi helped her master to sit in the main seat.
"Princess, you have worked hard. Please take a seat."
Ning Yunxi took a seat, touched the silver ring, and began the paternity test to confirm the relationship between the fourth senior brother and Gu Yihe.
Jiao Tian sat on the edge of the bed, gently adjusting the quilt, fearing that He'er would catch a cold.
Feeling her mother's love, Gu Yihe slowly woke up.
"Um……"
Seeing her mother's kind face, she quickly got out of bed and bowed.
"I wish you all the best, mother."
She caught a glimpse of Ning Yunxi and the other person out of the corner of her eye. She didn't understand what was going on, so she became defensive and began to salute.
"Princess Yuexi is here to receive your blessings."
Jiao Tianranran helped her up, sat her back on the bed, and explained softly.
"He'er's honorific is wrong."
"When you were in a coma, Emperor Jin and King Yu issued an edict to confer a title on you. Now you need to be called Princess Yuexi."
Gu Yihe was slightly stunned.
"Princess Yuexi...?"
"Excuse me, mother, why did the princess get promoted?"
Jiao Tian spoke in a gentle and patient tone.
"Emperor Yue conspired and assisted Prince Dijin in taking back the Fengzhengtai. Princess Yuexi made contributions, so she was awarded the title."
"Of course, you don't need to bow to her."
"Because the imperial decree has been issued to restore your position as the imperial princess."
Gu Yihe's eyes were gradually filled with surprise.
"Emperor Yue?"
"Feng Zhengtai, return to King Dijin?"
"I, will be restored to the position of the princess?"
Jiao Tian unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud; Gu Yihe listened carefully, his pupils were filled with shock, and he became more and more surprised.
After the imperial edict was announced, Qiu Bi performed the ceremony in a depressed mood.
"Your Highness the Sixth Princess, please be well."
Gu Yihe received the order respectfully, made a false gesture to excuse himself, and asked anxiously.
"According to the current ranking of princes and princesses, I should be the fifth, so why am I called the sixth princess?"
Jiao Tian answered.
"Emperor Yue, restore the title of Second Prince; Your Highness Prince Chen, be promoted to Third Prince; and you are the sixth in the current ranking."
With just a few pieces of information, Gu Yihe was able to infer the situation. However, she did not want to face the reality, so she tremblingly asked tentatively.
"Emperor Yue, who is he?"
The results of the paternity test showed that the father-daughter relationship was beyond doubt. Ning Yunxi left the space and spoke solemnly.
"You know who he is, so why ask?"
Gu Yihe's heart was pounding and she was becoming more and more out of control.
"Since he is the Second Prince, how can he address him respectfully as Emperor Yue? He...he..."
Ning Yunxi told her with tears in her eyes.
"Big brother, let's go."
Gu Yihe was suddenly shocked.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Tian and her daughter burst into tears and mourned for Emperor Yue.
Gu Yihe was filled with grief and indignation, and pointed his spear at others angrily.
"He spared no effort to secure a title for you, and you are so cruel?!"
Qiu Bi was indignant and stood up suddenly, retorting vigorously.
"Stop your slander."
"The death of Emperor Yue has nothing to do with us."
Ning Yunxi comforted Qiu Bi and returned to her seat.
"Your Highness will make a wise decision. Don't be impatient."
Qiu Bi rolled her eyes at Gu Yihe and fell silent again.
"Humph."
Ning Yunxi took out a letter from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Gu Yihe.
"This is the suicide note that my elder brother left for you, Your Highness the Sixth Princess, please take a look."
Gu Yihe took the suicide note and looked at it carefully.
In the letter, Ning Fengzhe expressed the love between brother and sister and told them all the words that he usually kept in his heart and found difficult to say out loud. His words were gentle and full of sincerity.
After reading it, Gu Yihe burst into tears and was deeply moved and speechless.
"Brother Emperor..."
I remember yesterday, before we parted, he said: "Sleep peacefully for a day, and when you wake up, you will see earth-shaking changes."
She could understand what her brother meant, and when she woke up, the moon was bright and the sky was clear.
But he didn't expect that the dark clouds were still there, but he disappeared...
Ning Yunxi relayed her elder brother's last words and the reason for his death, and told him her true identity.
After hearing this, Gu Yihe was filled with grief but also a little surprise.
"Your fourth senior brother, Zhou Zixi, is my father?"
"Don't bully me."
Ning Yunxi slowly put away her sadness.
"How could I deceive you? You can judge for yourself whether my words are true or false."
Gu Yihe couldn't accept it for a moment. She felt conflicted and hesitated to speak.
"I……"
Ning Yunxi looked full of sincerity and invited him earnestly.
"Given your status, it is not safe to be with the emperor."
"Excuse me, Your Highness, are you willing to serve King Dijin?"
