Whether Lin Anzhou would thank Gu Ruojiao is another question, but the imperial city did quietly become chaotic.
Under Lin Anzhou's intentional or unintentional direction, the drama of the princes' struggle for power and heirs gradually came to the surface from behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Gu Ruojiao is no longer in the imperial city, so she doesn't have to worry about whether there will be a palace coup like others.
She and Chunmei lived in the village.
The village is small and the folk customs are simple. I heard that they came here in distress and they were a girl's family, so the neighbors kindly sent them food.
He also heard that Gu Ruojiao was in poor health, so he specially asked a salesman with an oxcart to come to town to help and invited a doctor to come over.
But Gu Ruojiao's body was already depleted due to the long years of taking poison, and even if she stopped now, she wouldn't be able to get better for a while.
So the doctor just gave her a prescription for conditioning, but couldn't do much.
Life in the village is easy.
It is near the sea, and the villagers occasionally go out to sea to hunt, so they can eat fresh fish from time to time.
During the day, Chunmei would become a nun in exchange for money, and Gu Ruojiao would raise chickens, ducks, and grow edible vegetables, and her life was quite enjoyable.
One time, after Gu Ruojiao excitedly rolled up her sleeves and cooked a meal, Chunmei never let her cook again.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The situation in Beijing and China has also become increasingly tense.
More and more people are taking advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and Lin Anzhou is one of them.
He absconded.
And the day after Lin Anzhou left the imperial city under the arrangement of the guards, the peaceful village where Gu Ruojiao was located also suffered a bloodbath from pirates.
As evening approached that day, Gu Ruojiao was collecting clothes when the system suddenly appeared.
System: Host, this is terrible, a group of pirates are coming ashore soon.
Gu Ruojiao paused, then asked: How long will it take?
System: Two hours, that group of pirates encountered a shipwreck, and I'm afraid the attackers are evil.
Pirates are all desperadoes, and expecting them to have conscience is just a dream. Gu Ruojiao never entertains such unrealistic fantasies.
She immediately found Chunmei, and the two of them split into two groups and went from house to house to warn the villagers that the pirates were coming.
"There's no need to persuade her. Just bring her word. Whether they want to believe it or not is up to them." Gu Ruojiao pulled Chunmei and gave a serious warning.
No one is a saint, and Gu Ruojiao is just a weak woman with no power. She is not the heroine in the book, and she has no golden finger. All she can do is save as many people as possible within her own limited scope.

The two have been living alone for several months, and Chunmei is no longer as timid as before.
But when she heard that Gu Ruojiao was also going to act together, she couldn't help but worry.
"Little lady, please wait for me at the alley. I can just go and notify them by myself."
"Don't be stupid. The pirates will be here soon. You will be much slower on your own. Let's move faster so that everyone can leave faster."
Chunmei hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, and finally held Gu Ruojiao's hand tightly: "My dear lady, if you feel uncomfortable, please don't show off."
"Don't worry, don't you know your little lady yet?"
After saying that, the two of them immediately separated.
Gu Ruojiao only brought important things with her and didn't care about anything else.
But when she was packing her bags, a golden hairpin made a "ding" sound and fell out of her belly pocket.
Gu Ruojiao picked it up and took a look, only to find that it was a hairpin in the shape of a hosta flower. The bud in the middle was uniquely decorated with red coral.
A small word '安' is engraved on the tail of the hairpin.
