"Little brother, we are here. Come in and take a look. Are you satisfied?"

The guards drove a ox cart and stopped in front of a quiet courtyard.

He had chosen this place according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager. The environment was relatively quiet and suitable for his younger brother's grandmother to recuperate.

Gou Er nodded and said, "Brother, you were entrusted by my wife, so you must have chosen with all your heart. How can I not be satisfied?"

They can even live in the leaky City God Temple.

What's more, it's such a nice house, it's impossible not to be satisfied.

"As long as you are satisfied."

The guards nodded upon hearing this.

Both the grandfather and the grandson were pitiful people, unable to eat enough and having no place to live.

The little brother is a filial child.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice.

No matter how filial he was, it was still very dangerous for the two of them to be in such a bad situation.

Fortunately, I met the Queen Mother, who has a kind heart like a bodhisattva.

If not.

When winter comes, the little brother and his grandson may not be able to survive.

When I received the emperor's order before.

In fact, many people in the Imperial Guards were very confused.

They didn't understand why the emperor would be so caring towards the empress dowager who was in an extremely embarrassing situation.

He even considered her safety and sent an entire imperial guard to accompany her to protect the Empress Dowager's safety during her travels.

Now think about it.

Perhaps the Emperor had already seen that the Empress Dowager was a kind-hearted person.

That's why it is arranged like this.

"Thank you Madam Lao, thank you Brother Lao."

Sincere thanks from Gou Er.

Even though he encountered a great change and was forced to beg for a living with his grandmother, he never complained about the injustice of God.

But today.

He wanted to thank God for letting him meet his wife.

The guards listened to Gou Er's words of thanks and waved their hands, saying, "Nothing."

"Grandma, let me help you get out of the car."

"Miss……"

Gou'er reached out and helped the old woman down from the ox cart. Her dry lips opened and closed as she murmured. Even though she was unconscious, she was still muttering about her master whom she had been thinking about all the time.

"Grandma, don't worry. The princess is fine. Grandma will definitely find her." Gou'er said soothingly.

While accompanying his grandmother in her search for Princess Hong, he had managed to get some information.

But most of those were news about the princess having passed away more than ten years ago.

Gou'er didn't dare to tell the truth.

He was worried that without this obsession, his grandmother might leave him like his parents.

Gou'er doesn't want to lose his only relative in this world.

He also hoped that Princess Hong was still alive in this world.

This way my grandmother would have hope.

She can stay with him for a few more years, and he can be filial to him for a few more years.

General's Mansion.

Li Xia cleared out the servants in the mansion.

She gave enough silver to some of those who had reached an old age so that they could go home and enjoy their old age.

If there were those who were unwilling to leave, Li Xia did not force them to leave, and she promised that as long as she was there, the general's mansion would not drive away any servant who had worked hard in the mansion all their lives.

Those who have no relatives or friends can also stay in the general's mansion without worry.

She would be responsible for their old age.

Everyone in the mansion was grateful to Yu Lixia and expressed their loyalty.

Li Xia didn't ask for these deliberately.

The reason these people were kept behind was because many of them were witnesses of the General's Mansion over the years.

Some elderly servants have a close relationship with General Li.

These people have long regarded the general's mansion as their own home.

Li Xia couldn't bring herself to drive them away.

"Fuling, go tell Yuzhu to get ready. We will be leaving for the palace soon."

Li Xia stayed in the general's mansion for a few days, and during these days, she finished everything she could do.

Chen Dexuan has been very unwilling since he was asked to leave by her.

There is a commotion in the general's mansion every day.

But Li Xia never paid any attention to him.

Later he realized that it was boring and tried another method.

Spread rumors about Li Xia in crowded places.

Chen Dexuan hopes to use the pressure of public opinion to force Li Xia to revoke his decision.

But he didn't know.

No matter what method he used, Li Xia remained unmoved and didn't care.

Chen Dexuan tried every method he could think of.

In the end, he found that all the methods he could think of had no effect on Li Xia.

After all the trouble, Chen Dexuan finally accepted his fate.

An embarrassing exit.

Li Xia didn't know where he went.

I just vaguely heard someone say that he left here, went out of the city gate, and then disappeared.

"Empress Dowager, won't you stay for two more days?" Fuling asked, blinking her almond eyes.

Your Majesty has been busy with household affairs these days.

I didn't even go out of the house.

It's time to go back to the palace.

Li Xia shook her head and said, "No, let's go back."

After all, her current identity is the queen mother of a country.

I guess what I have done these days has spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.

She wanted to stay in the general's mansion and not return to the palace.

Those pedantic old ministers are starting to complain.

Anyway, I have done everything I should do, and now all I have to do is go for a good stroll outside before returning to the palace.

After this matter is settled.

She also needs to think carefully about her mission.

After hearing what Li Xia said, Fuling stopped talking. She bowed her head and said, "Yes, Queen Mother. I will tell Sister Yuzhu right away."

She replied.
