The entire imperial city is also busy these days, because the new Emperor Nanyue intends to establish diplomatic relations and form an alliance with the Dongchen Kingdom, and will arrive in the Dongchen Kingdom soon. In order to express his welcome to the new Emperor Nanyue and highlight the prosperity of the Dongchen Kingdom, The Ministry of Rites has formulated the highest standards of welcoming ceremonies. On the streets from entering the city to the post house, and then from the post house to the palace, every household must hang up colored lanterns. The streets must be clean and tidy, and small vendors are not allowed to occupy the road. People from the patrol camp , he would patrol the streets on horseback every day, and if he saw something that was not up to standard, he would immediately have someone correct it.
Qiushi courtyard
Shen Wan sat on the chaise longue in the courtyard, basking in the sun and watching Qiu Ju and Hui'er making children's clothes.
The styles of these little clothes are all designed by Shen Wan herself, and can be worn by both boys and girls.
She wanted to do it herself and make two pieces for the baby, but Qiu Ju and Hui'er refused. They also said that according to the customs of the Dongchen Kingdom, the woman was not allowed to use needlework and scissors during pregnancy.
Wuyi walked in from outside with a gloomy expression. Shen Wan noticed something was wrong with her, so she looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you? You came back from a trip and your face turned so ugly."
Hearing this, Qiu Ju and Hui'er both looked at Wu Yi.
Wuyi raised his head and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said with some melancholy: "I may be leaving soon."
Qiu Ju frowned and asked, "My wife bought you, where do you want to go?"
Although she knew that Wu Yi was unusual, the servant she bought could not just leave. No, Wu Yi seemed to be given away for free.
"..." Wuyi was speechless for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Shen Wan and said, "I'm leaving soon anyway, so you should be mentally prepared first."
Shen Wan turned her head and glanced at Ling'er, who was sitting at the desk by the window practicing calligraphy. What Wuyi asked her to do was to prepare mentally for Ling'er to leave.
The day finally came. She had raised this child Ling'er for so long. She had really put in her efforts and love. She really couldn't bear to let him go, but she couldn't let him go because of her own reluctance. Reunite with your own family.
That night
Qiu Ju sat on the couch and looked at Wu Yi who had taken off his clothes and was lying down under a quilt: "Where are you going?"
Wuyi closed her eyes and replied: "Of course I will go back."
She didn't say going home because she didn't have a home. Nanyue was her country, but she didn't have a home in Nanyue. Of course, as a secret guard, she didn't need a home.
"Going back to where?" Qiu Ju asked.
"Of course I'm going back to where I came from."
Hearing this, Qiu Ju lowered her head and stopped talking.
After hearing no more noise, Wuyi opened his eyes, looked at Qiu Ju who lowered her head and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Qiu Ju raised her head and glared at her with red eyes.
"traitor!"
After saying that, Qiu Ju went to the couch, turned her back to Wuyi, and covered herself tightly with the quilt.
She had already regarded Wuyi as a sister, and felt that Wuyi would protect the lady and young masters with her, but now Wuyi wanted to leave them behind, without telling her where she was going. In her opinion, Wuyi Yi is a traitor, and Wuyi doesn't regard her as a sister at all.
Wuyi sat up and looked at Qiu Ju for a long time without saying a word.
From that day on, Qiu Ju never said a word to Wu Yi, and she ignored Wu Yi when he talked to her. Two days later, even Ling'er and Song Ziling discovered something was wrong with them. He also asked them if they had quarreled? Of course, the answer they got was no.
The new emperor of Nanyue is about to visit Dongchen, but rumors that are unfavorable to Shen Wan are circulating in the imperial city.
"Did you know that General Song was actually killed by Shen?"
In a tea shop, a man in civilian clothes said to two other companions.
"What? No way!"
"Don't say this nonsense."
The man's voice became louder and he said, "I'm not lying. I have a relative who works in the official family. I heard from their family that General Song volunteered to go to Muyun Mountain to suppress the bandits because the Shen family was big." They clamored for peace and left him with no shame to stay in the imperial city, so he took the initiative to go to Muyun Mountain. If he didn't go to Muyun Mountain to suppress the bandits, he would not have died. Do you think it was Shen who killed him? ?”
"Come to think of it, she really killed him."
"There is also General Song's common wife Lin. Shen was fine before she returned to the general's residence. Why did she die as soon as Shen returned to the general's residence? I think Lin's death was strange."
