"Yong, I'm fine." After a while, Gu Linchao came back to his senses, said a word of comfort in a gentle voice, and then said, "It's getting late, let's all go."
Wen Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Because of the empress dowager, everyone's heart became very heavy.
After getting into the carriage, Gu Linchao also didn't say a word.
Wen Rong knew that he was only comforting her just now, but in fact he was still very worried about the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was under house arrest in the palace, how could he leave with peace of mind
The only blame is that Gu Heng was too despicable and took advantage of Gu Linchao's weakness.
Moreover, Gu Linchao could not secretly rescue the Empress Dowager.
Because then, it would give Gu Heng a chance to beat him up.
Rebellious ministers and thieves, withholding the crimes of disobedience, just gave Gu Heng an excuse to launch troubles. At that time, courtiers who don't know the situation may also criticize Gu Linchao verbally.
Of course, Gu Linchao was not afraid of this, but the Empress Dowager had expected it long ago, so she asked Madam Zeng to convey such words. She blocked Gu Linchao's possible actions, and only wanted him to go to Xiangzhou in peace and stability.
Wen Rongjun hesitated to speak several times, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just hugged his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and quietly accompanied him.
A group of people set off from the palace in a mighty manner.
"Prince Xiang and Concubine have a good journey..."
"... Take care."
Not far away, suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
Wen Rongjun was a little puzzled, opened the window and looked out.
Then I saw many people standing on both sides of the long street, men, women and children.
Seeing Wen Rongyong poking his head out, everyone quickly knelt down.
"Princess cherishes..."
"King Xiang take care..."
Seeing so many people, Wen Rongjun originally wanted to shrink back, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he waved to them with a smile, "Thank you everyone."
These people must have learned that Gu Linchao was going to Xiangzhou, so they spontaneously came to see him off.
The people of Daye are really lovely, no wonder Gu Linchao is willing to do his best to protect them.
"My lord and my concubine are going to Xiangzhou. It's a long way. You have to take good care of your health. These are the eggs laid by my own chickens. I will give them to your health..."
At this time, an old lady rushed over with a basket of eggs, and wanted to give them to Wen and Yung, but was stopped by the guards.
And because of this aunt who took the lead, other common people also stuffed the things they brought into the hands of the guards.
"This is the watermelon grown by my family. It's so sweet. I'll quench your thirst on the way..."
"This is a pickle made by myself, I hope you don't dislike it..."
"I raised this chicken myself to nourish the prince and princess..."
All of a sudden, many people took out food that they could not bear to eat at home, and wanted to give it to Gu Linchao and Wen Yunong.
The guards couldn't stop him.
"Thank you for your kindness. We took your kindness, but the journey to Xiangzhou is far away, so it's not suitable to take these with you. Let's keep them for yourself." Seeing this situation, Wen Yan was completely moved, Hastily stopped loudly.
But the enthusiasm of the people was too high, and Wen Rongyong persuaded them with his good words.
But even so, the common people followed all the way to the city gate.
What happened on the long street naturally spread to the palace.
Gu Heng was very unhappy when he learned that Gu Linchao was deeply loved by the people.
Sure enough, Gu Linchao would buy people's hearts, even if he was about to leave the capital, he still wanted to make such a commotion.
He sneered.
Gu Linchao is indeed a person who seeks fame and reputation.
And his wonderful grandmother.
He actually threatened Gu Linchao with death.
Originally, he wanted to use her to get Gu Linchao to present the military talisman, but he didn't want to be meddled by her.
And... Wen Yung.
Thinking of something, he took something out of his arms.
He looked at it for a while, then suddenly summoned a servant, gave him the things in his hand after giving him some instructions.
At this time, Wen Rongjun and Gu Linchao's party had already arrived outside the city gate.
Wen Tingyun was about to wave goodbye to the people who sent them off, when Wen Tingyun arrived suddenly with Lu Yingying.
"Fortunately, we're here." Wen Tingyun helped Lu Yingying get off the carriage and walked to the carriage where Wen Yunong was sitting.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Wen Rongyong was a little surprised.
Because when she went to Wen's house yesterday, she had already told them not to come and deliver them today.
After asking, she saw the large and small bags of luggage on the carriage behind them, and Wen Rong was stunned, "You guys are..."
"Yuan, Yingying will ask you to take care of her. When the matter on our side is settled, I will rush to Xiangzhou to meet you."
Wen Yung looked at him in surprise, "Father, they..."
"Now that the imperial court is decaying, we don't want to serve such a monarch anymore, and our parents don't want you, so we decided to move our family to Xiangzhou and settle down in Xiangzhou from now on." Wen Tingyun said in a low voice.
Wen Rongrong was in shock.
She understands that although the corruption of the imperial court is also part of the reason, a large part of their reason is probably because of her and the prince.
Now that Gu Linchao has resigned from the post of regent, but the soldier talisman has not been handed over, Gu Heng is definitely not reconciled, and there will be actions in the future.
As for the Wen family who stayed in the capital, they might bear the brunt and become Gu Heng's chess pieces against Gu Linchao.
Both father and elder brother are wise people, and they probably figured this out a long time ago. They don't want to help Gu Heng deal with Gu Linchao, so they would rather give up their official positions and go to Xiangzhou with them.
Parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, they did this for her and the prince, but they didn't want to put pressure on them, so they didn't mention it.
"Actually, you just need to separate yourself from me and the prince, why bother..."
After all, the Wen family is a century-old family with profound heritage and has already taken root in the capital. Now that they want to give up everything and move to Xiangzhou, they must start from scratch.
Wen Rongjun didn't want them to be like this.
But Wen Tingyun's attitude was firm, "Needless to say, my father and I have already handed in the letter of resignation, but we just want to move to Xiangzhou. There are still many things to be arranged at home, and it will take a few days, so your sister-in-law will follow you and go first." , she will be taken care of by you for the time being."
Lu Yingying saw the tangled look on Wen's face, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard that Xiangzhou's roast chicken is delicious. I've been coveting it for a long time. This time I go to Xiangzhou, and I can finally enjoy it." Take me with you, don't think I'm a burden."
Looking at her swollen belly, Wen Rongrong was very helpless, "Sister-in-law is not such a person, but she insists on calling herself a foodie. Alright, since you have already decided, let's do it, my sister-in-law and I will first Go to Xiangzhou and wait for elder brother and parents."
Parents, brother and sister-in-law have already made a decision, no matter how much she persuades, it will be useless.
Gu Linchao was sitting in the carriage, listening to the conversation of several people, his heart was also shaken.
But no matter how much he said, he was still pale at this moment, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
