Wang Houde and the servants beside him were amazed.
I didn't expect that the ruthless prince would be so sweet-mouthed sometimes, and coax the princess into disregarding the occasion.
Gu Linchao's eyes were slightly closed, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, revealing the joy in his heart.
Wen Rongjun pulled him to sit aside, then took the paintings from him, and looked at them one by one.
In every picture, Gu Linchao painted her very beautifully.
Almost all of them are her usual expressions, and they are painted vividly, which shows that Gu Linchao puts his heart into painting.
"My lord, everything is packed." A moment later, Wang Houde reported.
Gu Linchao thought of something, and said: "Don't forget to put away that wolf hair on the pen holder."
Wang Houde asked, "Is it the one near the right?"
"En." Gu Linchao responded.
Wen Rong was a little curious about what kind of wolf hair made Gu Linchao so precious, when he saw the pen in Wang Houde's hand, he suddenly remembered something, "Hey, this is not the one I bought for you in Tunzhou earlier. stick?"
Gu Linchao hesitated for a while before saying, "It's that one."
After hearing this, Wen Rongrong was very happy. He didn't expect that the pen she gave him would be so precious to him.
"The things that the prince gave me, I also didn't leave them behind. I took them all away and prepared to take them to Xiangzhou." She said hastily, and paused, "I also took the Guanyin who gave you the child."
Hearing this, Gu Linchao smiled, and squeezed her hand tightly, "That's good."
…
The next day, everything was packed and everyone was ready to go to Xiangzhou.
Because Gu Linchao had already resigned from the position of Prince Regent's Mansion, the plaque on the palace's inscribed "Regent's Mansion" was also replaced with "Xiang Wang's Mansion".
There are still many servants who are willing to go to Xiangzhou with them, and only a small number of servants want to stay in the capital and continue to guard the palace because they don't want to travel long distances.
For the servants who didn't want to go to Xiangzhou with them, Gu Linchao and Wen Rongyong didn't force them, and left enough money for them to live on.
But until all the things were loaded into the carriage, the queen mother's phoenix did not arrive.
Wen Rong was a little worried, and said to Wang Houde: "Eunuch Wang, go to the gate of the palace to see if the Empress Dowager is here."
"Yes." Wang Houde respectfully responded, but Hao Fulu suddenly walked in before he stepped out of the house.
Seeing him, Wen Yunjun's heart sank, and he asked calmly, "Why did Mr. Hao leave the palace?"
Hao Fulu didn't dare to look her in the eyes, and lowered his head, he said: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to come here to inform King Xiang and the princess. The empress dowager is old and her body is out of harmony. She may not be able to travel long distances. Worried, the Empress Dowager has been persuaded, and when she recovers, the Emperor will send someone to escort her to Xiangzhou. King Xiang and Princess Wang don't have to worry about it."
Hearing this, Wen Rong's complexion changed.
The Empress Dowager is indeed in poor health, but they can take better care of her when they go to Xiangzhou. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was still looking forward to going to Xiangzhou yesterday. Heng easily persuaded
Gu Heng's move was clearly intended to threaten Gu Linchao with the empress dowager.
Gu Linchao naturally thought of this, and he stood up without hesitation, "This king is going to Xiangzhou soon, and he should go to the palace to meet the emperor."
Hearing this, Hao Fulu lowered his head even lower.
In my heart, I felt that the emperor's method might be effective.
King Xiang really couldn't let go of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager is old, how can King Xiang go to Xiangzhou with peace of mind
Wen Rongjun clenched her fingers tightly, but this time, she didn't want to stop Gu Linchao.
She was also worried about leaving the Empress Dowager alone in the palace.
Even if you take her away, you have to exchange it with a soldier talisman.
"My lord, I'll accompany you." She stepped forward immediately.
Gu Linchao was about to nod his head, but thinking of Gu Heng's thoughts for her, he frowned and refused, "You wait here obediently for me to come back."
Seeing this, Wen Yunlong didn't insist anymore, "Well then, my lord, please be careful."
"En." Gu Linchao had just taken two steps when Madam Zeng walked in suddenly.
"My lord." Madam Zeng was a little out of breath when she spoke, obviously she came here in a hurry, seeing Gu Linchao looking like he was about to go out, and looking at Hao Fulu beside him, she immediately understood what was going on.
She sighed secretly, "The empress dowager asked the old slave to tell the prince that there is no need to wait for her. She is not in good health and cannot bear the hardship of the long journey. It is better to stay in the palace. At least, the grandson of the emperor will be filial. She won't do anything outrageous.
The prince and concubine don't need to go to the palace to see her, it's better to hurry, don't waste time. "
Hao Fulu's complexion changed when he heard the last sentence she said, and he quickly lowered his head again.
"The empress dowager said that she has no regrets in living to this age. You don't need to worry about her. She just hopes that you will have a child soon. If you have good news, you must write to her." Madam Zeng Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "If the prince insists on going his own way and enters the palace soon, he will only see her for the last time."
Hearing this, Gu Linchao's complexion changed suddenly, and he clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves.
Wen Rongjun also turned pale.
The empress dowager actually forced Gu Linchao into the palace to meet her with death, and he was not allowed to exchange her with a military talisman to go to Xiangzhou together, otherwise what he would see in the palace would be her body...
Nanny Zeng's eyes were a little sour, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, "Okay, this old slave has to go back to the palace to serve the Empress Dowager. The prince and princess must take care of this trip to Xiangzhou." As she said, she looked at Hao Fulu coldly. , "Director Hao, since the matter is settled, come back to the palace with me."
Hao Fulu sighed inwardly, and said hastily, "That's fine, Madam Zeng please first."
Nanny Zeng didn't stay any longer, she took one last look at Gu Linchao and Wen Rongyong, then turned and left.
Hao Fulu bowed to the two of them, and then left.
As soon as the two left, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy.
Wen Ronglong supported Gu Linchao's hand, seeing his handsome face showing a trace of paleness, he knew that he must have been surprised by the Empress Dowager's intentions.
She was very distressed, but at this time, she, who was always articulate, didn't know what to say to comfort him for a while.
Because the empress dowager's actions were to protect Gu Linchao, but at the same time, her threat of death was really cruel to Gu Linchao.
The empress dowager had expected that Gu Linchao would exchange her with a military talisman, so she blocked his way first. In order to prevent him from handing over the military talisman, she did not hesitate to threaten her with death.
Wen Rong knew that the Empress Dowager's move was also helpless, because she could not let Gu Linchao lose the military amulet because of herself.
She can understand the protection of the empress dowager as a mother to her son.
She sighed secretly, and comforted softly: "My lord, don't worry too much. The empress dowager has seen all kinds of turmoil, and she is the emperor's own grandmother. The emperor will not really do anything to her."
That's the way it is said, but Gu Heng resorted to such despicable means in order to obtain the military talisman, it is hard to believe that he will not do more insane things.
