Wang Houde and his servants were amazed.
Unexpectedly, the cold-hearted prince had such a sweet mouth that he coaxed the princess regardless of the occasion.
Gu linchao's eyes closed slightly, and a smile from the corners of his mouth exposed his inner pleasure.
Wen took him to sit aside, then took the pictures from his hand and looked at them one by one.
In each picture, Gu linchao painted her very beautifully.
Almost all of them are her usual look, and they are vividly painted. It can be seen that Gu linchao is very careful in painting.
"My Lord, I've put everything away." a moment later, Wang Houde reported.
Gu linchao thought of something and told him, "don't forget to put away the wolf hair on the penholder."
Wang Houde asked, "is it the one near the right?"
"Yes." Gu linchao answered.
Wen was 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, isn't this the one I bought for you in dunzhou?"
Gu linchao hesitated and said, "it's the one."
After hearing this, Wen was very happy. Unexpectedly, she gave him a pen. He was so precious.
"I haven't lost the things that the Lord gave me. I've collected them all and am ready to take them to Xiangzhou." she hurried and paused. "I'll take the gift of Guanyin, too."
Gu linchao smelled the speech, smiled at the corners of his mouth and clenched her hand, "that's good."
……
The next day, everything was ready and they were ready to go to Xiangzhou.
Because Gu linchao has resigned from the post of Regent's residence, the plaque with several big characters of Regent's residence has also been replaced with three characters of Xiang's residence.
There are still many servants who are willing to go to Xiangzhou together. 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, Gu linchao and Wen Zhenzhen didn't force it, and left enough money for them to live.
But until all the things were loaded into the carriage, there was no Phoenix driving of the Empress Dowager.
Wen was worried and said to Wang Houde, "Grandpa Wang, go to the palace gate and see if the Empress Dowager has come."
"Yes." Wang Houde responded respectfully, but Hao Fulu suddenly came in before he stepped out of the house.
Seeing him, Wen Shuo Shuo's heart sank and asked quietly, "how did manager Hao get out of the palace?"
Hao Fulu didn't dare to look into her eyes. He hung his head and said, "we have come to inform the king and Princess of Xiang on the instructions of the emperor. The Empress Dowager is old and disobedient. I'm afraid she can't travel long distances. The emperor is very worried. He has persuaded the queen Dowager to escort her to Xiangzhou when she gets better. The king and princess don't have to worry about her."
Wen's face changed when he heard the speech.
The Empress Dowager's health is really not very good, but they can take better care of her when they go to Xiangzhou. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was looking forward to going to Xiangzhou yesterday. How could she be easily persuaded by Gu Heng after a day?
Gu Heng's move was clearly intended to threaten Gu linchao with the Empress Dowager.
Gu linchao naturally thought of this. Without hesitation, he stood up and said, "the king is going to Xiangzhou soon. He should go to the palace to meet the emperor."
Hao Fulu's head dropped lower when he heard the speech.
But I felt that the emperor's method might work.
The king of Xiang really couldn't let go of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager is old. How can the king of Xiang go to Xiangzhou at ease?
Wen Zhenzhen clenched her fingers, but this time, she didn't want to stop Gu linchao.
She was not relieved to leave the Empress Dowager alone in the palace.
Even if you take her, you have to exchange it for a military amulet.
"Lord, I'll go with you." she immediately came forward.
Gu linchao just wanted to nod, but when he thought of Gu Heng's Thoughts on her, he frowned and refused, "you wait here for me to come back."
Seeing this, Wen Zhenzhen didn't insist, "well, be careful yourself, Lord."
"HMM." Gu linchao just took two steps when mother Zeng suddenly came in.
"Lord," said mother Zeng, panting. She obviously came in a hurry. Seeing Gu linchao's appearance of going out, she looked at Hao Fulu and immediately understood something.
She sighed secretly, "the Empress Dowager asked the old slave to tell the Lord that she doesn't have to wait for her. She is not in good health and can't stand the hardships of the long journey. It's better to stay in the palace. At least, the grandson of the emperor will be filial to her and won't do anything against her.
The prince and princess don't have to go into the palace to see her. It's important to hurry. Don't delay. "
Hao Fulu listened to the last sentence she said, his face changed, and quickly lowered his head again.
"The Empress Dowager said that she had no regrets when she lived to this age. You don't have to worry about her. She just hopes that you will have children as soon as possible. If you have good news, you must write to inform her." mother Zeng said here, and suddenly said, "if the Lord insists on walking alone and entering the palace later, you can only see her last side."
Gu linchao's face suddenly changed when he heard the speech. He clenched his fist under his sleeve.
Wen also turned pale.
The Empress Dowager was forced by death. He was not allowed to see her in the palace, nor was he allowed to go to Xiangzhou with her in exchange for a military amulet. Otherwise, what he saw in the palace was her body
Mother Zeng's eyes were a little sour and hurriedly lowered her eyes. "Well, the old slave still has to go back to the palace to serve the Empress Dowager. The prince and Princess must take care of them when they go to Xiangzhou." she said, looking coldly at Hao Fulu, "manager Hao, now that things have been done, come back to the palace with me."
Hao Fulu sighed in his heart and hurriedly said, "well, mother Zeng, please first."
Mother Zeng didn't stay any longer. At last, she looked after linchao and Wen Zhuo, and turned and left.
Hao Fulu bowed to them and then left.
As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy.
Wen Zhenzhen held Gu linchao's hand and saw that his handsome face was a little pale. He knew that he must have been surprised by the meaning of the Empress Dowager.
She was very distressed, but at this time, she was always articulate. For a time, she didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Because although the actions of the Empress Dowager are to protect Gu linchao, at the same time, her threat of death is really cruel to Gu linchao.
The Empress Dowager had expected that Gu linchao would exchange the amulet for her, so she blocked his way first. In order to prevent him from handing over the amulet, she didn't hesitate to threaten him with death.
Wen Zhenzhen knew that the Empress Dowager was helpless because she could not let Gu linchao lose her amulet because of herself.
She can understand the Empress Dowager's protection of her son as a mother.
She sighed secretly and said softly, "don't worry too much, Lord. The Empress Dowager has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and she is still the emperor's own grandmother. The emperor won't really treat her."
That's right, but Gu Heng used such despicable means to get the talisman. It's hard to believe that he won't do anything more crazy.
