Chapter 349 Xie Qingrou Returns to the Palace
I just hope they can have good luck.
After Gu Jianchu finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xia.
Zhu Xia picked up the jade pendant and walked over to everyone, distributing it. "This is a jade pendant that I had the Ministry of Internal Affairs crafted overnight. It represents our friendship within the palace. You should also be careful not to lose it. If you need anything, you can come to me with it. I will do my best to help you. You don't have to send the jade pendant to the palace. You can go to the Dali Temple and give it to the Dali Temple Minister or the President of the Hanlin Academy, Xiao Cong. They will understand."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration. You still think of me. I will always miss you." Concubine Wen Zhaoyi couldn't help sobbing while holding the jade pendant. The other concubines couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad when they saw this. They didn't feel anything in the palace before, but now that they are separated, they feel reluctant everywhere.
Gu Jianchu was helped to stand up by Qiutou. She came to Wen Nuan, who was standing in the front, and put her hand on her shoulder. "Okay, don't cry. This is not a bad thing. You can live the life you want after leaving the palace. In fact, rather than seeing you again, I hope we will never see each other again. That way, you should be happy. If you come back to see me, you might not be happy."
"Okay, stop crying. The time has come and it's time for you to leave the palace. I'll see you off." Gu Jianchu looked at these faces from the past and actually felt a little reluctant.
I didn't feel anything when I was in the palace before, but now I can feel the reluctance everywhere.
Upon hearing this, Zhuxi immediately stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "Your Majesty, you are in poor health now and you are newly pregnant. Imperial Physician Lin has specifically instructed you to rest and recuperate, and not move around too much. If Your Majesty is truly worried, your servants can go and see them off on your behalf."
"Doctor Lin only told me to move less, but he didn't say I couldn't move around anymore. Besides, this is the last time we'll see each other. We're parting ways today, and we don't know when we'll see each other again. So let me see them off. If you're really worried, have them prepare the sedan chair."
Zhuxi couldn't persuade Gu Jianchu, and couldn't convince him either, so he could only ask Yunhe to quickly prepare the sedan chair. If something unexpected happened, they would all be in trouble.
Gu Jianchu stopped after sending them to the palace gate. "I can only take you here. The rest of the way is up to you. I hope you walk on a flowery path every day."
Gu Jianchu was supported by Zhuxi and stood in place, gazing reluctantly at the eyes of the crowd, some crying, some laughing, some reluctant, and some expectant.
"Take care, Your Majesty." Wen Nuan knelt down again with red eyes, and her forehead hit the bluestone bricks hard, leaving a red mark soon.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Gu Jianchu personally stepped forward to help Wen Nuan up.
Compared to them, Wen Nuan does have a deeper relationship with Gu Jianchu. After all, Wen Nuan often goes to Gu Jianchu to have some fun, and even tries to please Gu Jianchu and cling to him.
Gu Jianchu patted her warm little face and said, "It's time to go. Let's go quickly. No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to leave the palace. If you don't leave now, the palace gate will be closed."
Gu Jianchu urged her, and seeing Wen Nuan's eyes were still red, Gu Jianchu comforted her again, "We are in the capital together, it's not like we'll be separated. If you miss me, just send me a note. Let's go quickly, or you might not be able to leave the palace if you don't leave now."
Wen Nuan left the palace, looking back every few steps.
Before Wen Nuan and his companions had gone far, the sound of horse hooves came from the corridor.
Several people immediately made way for her, and then they saw a woman in red riding a horse to the palace gate. The woman was dressed in red, with a whip and a short knife on her waist, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. This woman exuded a heroic temperament.
Before the woman in red could even enter the palace, she was stopped by the guards at the palace gate. "Please show me your ID badge."
"Open your dog eyes and look. Don't you even recognize me?" The woman in red came forward and pointed at her nose.
The two guards glanced at the woman in red and said seriously, "Please show me your badge or visiting card. You are not allowed to enter the palace without the permission of the Emperor and the Empress. Miss, please return the way you came, or you can follow us to the Imperial Guards."
Hearing this, the woman in red clenched her fists instantly. Her cold eyes swept over the group of guards who were staring at her with eager eyes. Her temper instantly softened. "Well, I've only been away for a few years. I didn't expect that you, a bunch of scornful bastards, wouldn't even recognize me. Here are the badges you asked for."
The woman in red casually pulled the badge off her waist and threw it to the guard beside her, "Look."
The guard took the badge from the red-dressed woman and glanced at it. "Your humble servant greets Princess Rou."
Seeing Xie Qingrou waving her hand, the imperial guard immediately handed over the badge in his hand, "Now I can enter the palace, right?"
"Yes, but the princess needs to dismount. Also, sharp objects such as whips and daggers are not allowed to be brought into the palace." The guard reminded humbly.
Xie Qingrou sneered and said, "I really didn't expect that I can't bring these things with me just because I'm going home?"
Although Xie Qingrou said this, she still handed the dagger and horse whip in her hand to the guards, "Watch it carefully for me. If there is anything missing, I will ask you to answer. Also, my horse is a top-quality Ferghana horse. You must help me feed it well, otherwise I will take your heads."
"Yes." The two guards responded in succession.
Gu Jianchu, who hadn't left yet, naturally noticed the movements of the woman in red. She couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person?"
"Noble Concubine Qian's daughter, Xie Qingrou, also known as Princess Rou, requested to marry into the Dongli Kingdom in her early years."
A cold voice sounded from behind her. Gu Jianchu turned around and saw Xie Ci'an appeared behind her at some point. The man was wearing a dark dragon robe, which made him look even more stern. His eyes were as deep as ever, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Gu Jianchu asked in surprise, "Why is the emperor here?"
"After I finished my work, I went to Kunning Palace. The palace maids in Kunning Palace said that you came to send the concubines out of the palace. I was worried, so I came to check on you." As Xie Ci'an spoke, he naturally took the cloak from Cheng Song's hand, walked forward and draped it over Gu Jianchu's shoulders, covering Gu Jianchu's entire body in the cloak, revealing his furry head.
His palm naturally covered her slightly cold fingers to help warm them.
