Chapter 516 Farewell to Qiu Yue

Hall of Longevity.

In the side hall, Ning Shuang now lives in the side hall.

Moer spoke softly.

"My Lady, will Concubine Mei choose the Sixth Prince?"

Ning Shuang glanced at Mo'er.

"There shouldn't be any problems. As long as the Sixth Prince comes to pay his respects to Concubine Mei in the next two days, this matter will be settled, and I will be worthy of my master's orders."

Then he reminded again.

"Mo'er, you've only been in the palace for a short time. You must be careful with your words from now on. Don't make any mistakes and harm yourself. It doesn't matter. But if you delay the master's important matters, that would be the biggest trouble."

Mo'er nodded hurriedly when she heard that.

"Yes, Sister Qingzhi has instructed me that I will be careful in everything and support the princess wholeheartedly."

Ning Shuang nodded when she heard this, and felt a little more at ease.

What she was doing now was a matter of life and death. Fortunately, her status as a princess was confirmed, and Mo'er came to her side. She had a companion. At the same time, she secretly admired Su Hanchu in her heart, for he had sent a loyal palace maid to her in such a short time.

"Let's go, pack up, and serve the Queen Mother dinner."

A village outside the imperial city.

Doctor Li took Qiu Yue's pulse.

"Miss Qiu Yue, your injury has healed completely. Just focus on recuperating. As for your previous illness, it has improved. With time..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue stood up excitedly with surprise in her eyes.

"Doctor Li, what did you say? Is there any improvement in the illness I contracted before?"

Doctor Li nodded when he heard this.

"Because you were just diagnosed with the disease, the City Lord has taken out special medicine and asked me to use it to treat you. It's still possible to save you. As long as you continue to take the medicine for a year, you should be able to recover."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. That was a difficult-to-talk-about internal illness, and City Lord Su actually had someone cure her.

"Doctor Li, can I still meet the City Lord? I must thank you in person. You have done me a great favor."

Suddenly a voice was heard.

"Hmm, how come I heard someone wanted to thank me the moment I walked in?"

Qiu Yue remembered seeing Su Hanchu walking towards her, and she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"Qiu Yue thanks the City Lord..."

Su Hanchu hurriedly signaled Caiyue to help her up.

"Hurry up, what are you doing? You keep bowing your head."

Tears were glistening in Qiu Yue's eyes.

"Lord City Lord, Qiu Yue is so lucky to have met you in this life. I wonder if Qiu Yue can do something for you? I hope I can repay your kindness."

Su Hanchu looked at her with a smile when he heard that.

"You, always talking about favors and ingratitudes, didn't you also help me accomplish a great thing? The prince is still under house arrest."

When mentioning the prince, a hint of hatred flashed in Qiu Yue's eyes.

"I didn't expect the Da Ri incident to become such a big deal. A life was apparently lost, yet the Crown Prince was only confined to his house. It's true that those in high positions are respected, while those in low positions are worthless."

Then he felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly looked at Su Hanchu and spoke.

"City Lord Su, I just think that the Crown Prince..."

Su Hanchu naturally understood what she meant and spoke nonchalantly.

"It's okay. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with what you said. Your chest wound is almost healed, right?"

Qiu Yue nodded upon hearing this.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt much anymore."

Su Hanchu nodded.

"I came here today, firstly to see you and say goodbye, and secondly to tell you that your mother left the Imperial City two days ago. You will follow my men tonight and reunite with your mother in Baise City."

Qiu Yue spoke worriedly after hearing this.

"City Lord Su, you said before that my mother and I should leave together, but now you suddenly let my mother leave the Imperial City first. Is it because we have caused more trouble for you, City Lord Su?"

Su Hanchu spoke slowly after hearing this.

"It's not really a problem, but I discovered someone is investigating your family. I think it's the Crown Prince's people. For safety reasons, I'm sending your mother away first."

Qiu Yue spoke with some fear after hearing this.

"Will the prince find out about this?"

Su Hanchu looked at her panic and immediately spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry. I promised you and your mother would be safe. Your mother had gone mad and left your village. This is the truth. No one in the Imperial City knows about her anymore. Now she has safely left the Imperial City. No matter how hard the Crown Prince investigates, he will probably find no clues. You can go to Baise City and reunite with your mother without worry."

Qiu Yue finally felt relieved after hearing this, and spoke with a grateful look.

"City Lord Su, Qiu Yue no longer knows how to feel..."

Every time he saw Qiu Yue, he would say all kinds of words of gratitude. Su Hanchu felt like his ears were about to get calluses from listening to her.

"Stop, stop expressing your gratitude. Didn't I say that? We can be considered to be helping each other, and the result is not bad now. It can be considered the best of both worlds."

Then he gave Caiyue a look.

Caiyue took out a box and handed it to Qiu Yue.

Su Hanchu looked at Qiu Yue with a smile.

"I've had some money and jewelry prepared for you. As for clothes for the journey, they've also been prepared and placed in the carriage. When you arrive in Baise City, someone will take care of you. You should stay with your mother for a while until you recover. If you want to work, there are workshops in Baise City that are hiring, and women can go out and work to earn money."

When Qiu Yue heard this, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes, and she spoke in disbelief.

"There are actually places where women can work?"

Caiyue explained upon hearing this.

"Of course not. Under the governance of our Lord Mayor, Baise City has achieved gender equality. Women there are many ways to earn money, and there are even academies where they can study and learn skills. In the future, women won't have to rely on marriage to support themselves."

When Qiu Yue heard this, there was a glimmer of longing in her eyes, and she looked at Su Hanchu with admiration.

"I didn't expect Baise City to be such a place. City Lord Su, you have simply changed the fate of this woman."

Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.

"Since I hold the position of power, I naturally want to seek benefits for the people. As a woman, I also understand the difficulties faced by women in this world, so I have people open many workshops and shops to provide employment for women."
