Chapter 599 Leaving is a relief

Why should we treat them as inner demons and make things difficult for ourselves?

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Zhu'er, cremate mother as well, and bury us with them back in Shamen County. Bury us next to my sister's grave. If possible, pick Jiang Qingcai out of the ditch of the dead and build a grave for him as well. Thank you, Zhu'er. Zhu'er, mother is gone, don't cry. It was hard for mother to be alive... It was really hard... Forgive me... Zhu'er..."

The last few sentences were spoken intermittently.

After that, there was no more sound.

Just like falling into a deep sleep, peaceful.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help crying out, "Mom!"

Liao Jiu hugged his wife, who was about to collapse, into his arms, patted her back and comforted her gently.

"Forget it, this is her wish. Indeed, it is quite uncomfortable for her to live like this. It is a relief for her to die. We will not force it. Wife, don't cry. Mother, she died with a smile."

For the first time, Jiang Lianzhu suppressed her tears and cried out loud.

***

After Jiang Chengshi passed away, the celebration banquet originally planned by Prince Zhan's Mansion for Princess Fu'an was officially cancelled.

Jiang Lianzhu was in a bad mood after her adoptive mother passed away.

The War King also understood her. After all, she had already returned to her ancestral home. Emperor Xuan and the elders of the capital had all participated. As for the rest, everything would be kept simple.

Jiang Lianzhu has now become Xuan Lianzhu, and the princess's mansion is also under renovation.

She discussed it with King Zhan and decided to close the Jiang Clinic and send Jiang Cheng's ashes back to Shamen County for burial.

Nanbao also cried because of Jiang Cheng's death. Erbao also shed tears. Dabao was reserved, but he also looked worried, and it was obvious that he was very sad.

After all, Jiang Cheng was once a member of their family.

Speaking of sending the spirit back, several children also wanted to send Jiang Chengshi off. In addition, they had not been back since they fled from Shili Town. Jiang Lianzhu decided to take the children back together to take a walk and relax.

Liao Jiu naturally had to accompany and protect his wife and children, and of course, also to see Jiang Cheng off.

The couple could have flown back on a golden eagle, but this time they wanted to take the children with them, so they decided to go back by car.

The War King also sent people to protect Jiang Lianzhu and the others, so there is absolutely no need to worry about their safety.

After the discussion, they prepared to set off.

Dabao and Erbao have taken a short vacation at Tianya Academy. It will take at least a month to go there and back. If something happens and they are delayed, it will take even longer.

Emperor Xuan was somewhat opposed to Dabao leaving the capital, fearing that he would be unsafe if he stayed outside the capital. Later, when he learned that he would be escorted by the Gray Guards from Prince Zhan's Palace, he agreed.

Before leaving, he summoned Liao Jiu into the palace for a secret talk.

After leaving the palace, Liao Jiu reported to Jiang Lianzhu that he had been reinstated.

Jiang Lianzhu looked confused?

"What's going on?!"

Liao Jiu joked, "Thanks to my wife, everyone is now prosperous?!"

Jiang Lianzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Seriously!"

Liao Jiucai said, "The Emperor is worried about Dabao returning home. Although Prince Zhan also sent people, the Emperor also wanted to send people to keep an eye on him. At first, he was going to send people from the Inner Guard, but then he felt that was inappropriate and wanted to use the Six Gates. I was reinstated to my original position, naturally for Prince Zhan's sake. Before, I was demoted because I rejected the princess's order and married you. Now all of this does not constitute a crime. I was reinstated to my original position, firstly for Prince Zhan's sake, and secondly, it allows me to continue to take over the Six Gates and protect you when you travel, so he feels more at ease. It's a win-win situation."

Jiang Lianzhu sneered.

They are all old foxes as expected.

Every step is calculated.

It seems absurd, but it is the result of maximizing profits.

What can Xuanhuang say? It is not easy for an emperor to be so flexible.

Also, Jiang Lianzhu felt that Xuan Huang had a special regard for Dabao. Was this simply because of his guilt towards Dabao and the others? Or was there something else?

"Then congratulations, Governor Liao! You've been reinstated! In fact, the emperor knows that the four commanders of the Six Gates are all your men. In the past few months, he has demoted you and not assigned a new governor to the Six Gates. In fact, he kept your position for you. He only needed a chance to continue to enslave you. And now, that chance has come so quickly."

Normally, even though Liao Jiu was not the governor, he could still mobilize the Six Gates, but it was not so legitimate.

Liao Jiu smiled bitterly, "In order to better protect my wife and my cub, I am willing to enslave you, Your Majesty."

"By the way, where is your brother Liao Yan..."

Liao Jiu continued, "They were dismissed from their posts, and now their family has returned to the Qingning Marquis's residence. My mother went there to make trouble because they had no place to live, so she drove them away. There was a lot of commotion over there, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

Jiang Lianzhu was in no mood to care. She just wanted to send Jiang Cheng's ashes back to her hometown for burial.

Let Jiang Cheng rest in peace.

Now, she, Princess Fu'an, has become a celebrity in the capital. People bring gifts to her door every day. Both sides of the house are undergoing renovations, and the constant hammering and banging is really annoying. It would be nice to go back to her hometown and hide away for a few days.

"Now that your status as Governor has been restored, your father and his family should have a better life. There are many people who would rather see the Buddha than the monk. Yao is a restless person. It's easy for her to enter the mansion, but after entering, she will bring in the people around your mother. It's better to suggest that the two families don't live together. Forget it, it's not our turn as younger generations to worry about the affairs of the elders."

She had so many things of her own to worry about that she had been facing so many obstacles since she decided to leave Beijing and return home. It had been several days since then, and today, Emperor Xuan had finally given his approval.

After their identities and status changed, their every move was no longer as free as before. She had to get permission from the War King to travel, and Dabao had to get permission from the Xuanhuang to travel.

This is the corresponding price.

"Wife, everything is almost ready. We will leave the capital on time tomorrow morning. We will follow the same route as last time, leaving the capital by water to Chubei Prefecture, and then take a carriage back to Shamen County from Chubei Prefecture. The customs documents, boats, carriages, and the journey have all been arranged. It should be smoother and faster than last time."

"Okay then. Do you want to take Chengfeng with you?"

"Take them with you and let them fly with you. Now you don't have to worry about people coveting you. If anything happens, with them around, you can react quickly."

"Um."

＊＊＊

The next day, before dawn, several carriages were lined up in an orderly manner at the gate of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

The first one was the largest carriage, and Jiang Lianzhu and his wife took their three children in this one.

The second car was for Li Niang and several of her close maids.

The next few cars were loaded with some sundry items, local specialties from the capital, gifts for the people of Wangjia Village, and supplies needed for the journey.
