Chapter 417 Farewell, Beijing
Fu Qingyin took Yu Shengsheng to the outside of the palace gate and asked her to wait in the carriage.
Before getting off the car, Fu Qingyin asked: "Shengsheng, if I want to leave the capital..."
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly: "Then I will follow the commander and leave the capital."
No need for too many words or too much explanation.
Fu Qingyin shook her hand: "I'll be back soon."
"There is paper and pen in the small drawer. You can write down who and what you want to take with you. I will take them all with me when I leave the palace."
"Okay," Yu Shengsheng likes to do this.
Fu Qingyin smiled slightly, turned around and entered the palace.
When he arrived outside the Shangshufang, Eunuch Wei saw him and hurried over to him.
"Commander, the emperor is having a tantrum in there."
"What happened?"
"Prince Kong has left the capital."
Fu Qingyin sighed softly: "Please go in and report to the emperor, I will help him."
"yes."
Not long after, Eunuch Wei came out again and invited him in.
When the emperor saw him, his expression eased a lot: "Why are you entering the palace now?"
Fu Qingyin lifted his clothes and knelt down: "I am here to apologize to the emperor."
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial Clan House and saw the deposed Empress. I forged the lock on his cell."
The emperor was startled: "You..."
"The Emperor has said that he will be sentenced to life imprisonment. If that is the case, there is no need to open the lock again."
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Confused!"
Fu Qingyin pursed her lips and said nothing, but knelt straight. It was obvious that although she did not defend herself, she did not think she was wrong.
The emperor stared at him for a long while, then sighed, "Has the hatred in your heart disappeared?"
Fu Qingyin lowered his eyes and said, "I know I am guilty. I already know that Kong Dezhao has fled the capital. I am willing to make amends and solve this matter. Or, I will be exiled to the South China Sea in exchange for His Royal Highness Prince Yi to return to the capital."
The emperor frowned: "But you have been by my side for many years, I have long been accustomed to it..."
"Your Majesty, Hao Mengye is now able to handle things on his own. I will only take Black and White and Impermanence with me. I will travel lightly. With the Red Dragon Guards here, it is as if I am still here. I will come back after the mission is completed and Your Majesty has calmed down."
"How could I be angry with you? I just don't want you to keep your unhappiness in your heart. Get up."
Fu Qingyin thanked him and stood up: "Do you have any other requests? Just ask, I will agree to everything I can agree to."
"Your Majesty, I have no other request, but Princess Ruiyang is now an orphan. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to keep her with you."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, you really do need someone to take care of you, so I can rest assured. I'll do as you say."
The emperor said to Eunuch Wei, "Bring some medicine."
"yes."
Eunuch Wei brought up a tray with three bottles of medicine on it.
"Take these medicines with you. They are enough for half a year. As you know, this medicine is not easy to obtain. I will send someone to deliver it to you when I get more medicine."
Fu Qingyin said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor pinched his brows and said, "After this incident, many officials in the court will have to move, and so will the harem. You are not by my side, which really gives me a headache."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. This minor disturbance is nothing to worry about. Prime Minister Lu is very capable and will definitely help Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed that you can say these things to make me happy. Be careful when you go to Nanshun, and write back more often when you go to Nanhai."
"Yes, I have made note of it. I will take my leave now."
Fu Qingyin turned and left.
The emperor looked at his back, speechless for a long while. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the memorial on the table.
"Pass the decree down. Imperial Concubine Shu is virtuous and intelligent, and is to be made queen."
…
When Fu Qingyin got on the carriage, Yu Shengsheng had already finished writing.
"That's all?" Fu Qingyin looked carefully. "Madame Zhou, Jin Baobao, Lu Hu, three people, and some daily clothes."
"Yes, I don't have anything else, but the new clothes that Madam Zhou just made for me, so I have to take them with me."
After saying that, her expression changed slightly when she saw the medicine he brought back.
"That's all?"
Fu Qingyin casually threw the medicine into the small drawer: "I don't need these."
"Why?"
Fu Qingyin stroked her wrist and whispered in her ear: "I have found a way to cure this poison."
Yu Shengsheng was surprised and delighted: "Really?"
"Of course," Fu Qingyin gently grasped her delicate wrist, "I took this poison voluntarily in order to achieve success quickly and control my inner demons."
"However, I later learned that it is possible to do this without the poison."
Yu Shengsheng breathed rapidly and lowered her voice: "You mean, it was intentional..."
"That's right," Fu Qingyin nodded, "He is a lonely man. He doesn't even trust his own son, so how can he trust me? It's just that my life is in his hands."
"But now it's different. We are leaving the capital."
"Shengsheng, follow me."
"good."
…
Without further ado, Yu Shengsheng returned to the small house and took Nanny Zhou and the others with her.
When the three heard that they were going to leave Beijing and go to Nanshun and Nanhai, although they knew there were some risks, they were very happy.
While Nanny Zhou was packing her things, Jin Baobao still wanted to say goodbye to his brother.
"Don't worry, the commander will take your brother with him."
Golden Leopard was so happy that he went crazy in the yard.
Yu Shengsheng prepared a sacrifice and when she was leaving the city, she passed by Grandma Wu's grave and informed her.
While she was busy here, Fu Qingyin also went back to Zhenqiu Tower to make arrangements.
When Hao Mengye heard that he was leaving, he was very reluctant to let him go, but as the commander-in-chief, he didn't have the freedom to leave whenever he wanted.
Hei Bai and Wu Chang packed up their things and took Jin Hu with them.
It would be enough to bring ten secret guards with you in secret.
And Fu Qingyin went personally to the secret cell with an iron door that was closed all year round.
The old man inside was still busy preparing various medicines.
Fu Qingyin said calmly: "It's time to go."
The old man turned around and said, "Want to kill me? Sure. The antidote to severing the love ties is already here. You..."
"I'm not going to kill you," Fu Qingyin interrupted him, "I'm going to take you away and back to Tianyi Hall."
The old man was surprised: "Reply..."
"But, the poison that killed Prince Yong was made by me. You..."
"You made it, but you didn't poison him. You have been in self-imprisonment for so many years. That's enough."
"Besides, Tianyi Hall originally belonged to you. Now is the time for you to go back and clean up the mess."
"I will still need your and Tianyitang's help in the South China Sea."
"As for now..."
The current hall master had already surrendered to the emperor and severed his emotional ties, and it was he who induced him to do so.
"It's time to go to hell."
…
The end of September is the last solar term in autumn.
The Empress in the imperial palace changed her owner, Prime Minister Lu remained firmly in the court, and a group of military generals were replaced.
Commander-in-chief Hao Mengye was promoted to commander of the Red Dragon Guard. He stood under the jade steps in a red robe and holding a black sword.
No one knew where the original commander, Fu Qingyin, had gone.
I only heard that he was a secret envoy for the emperor. Some people heard that he had been to Nanshun. I don't know how he made Nanshun, which was ready to make trouble, quiet down.
Some people also heard that he went to the South China Sea.
The only thing that is certain is that I don’t know when I will return.
Three years later.
Lu Xingzhan, the third son of the Lu family, was returning to Beijing from the border. When he passed through the South China Sea, he suddenly saw two familiar figures.
But the man was no longer wearing red clothes, but a plain white robe. He had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at the beautiful woman beside him.
The woman was beautiful, like a fairy, and was picking a handkerchief for him.
Lu Xingzhan’s mind was in a trance and he wanted to call out “Shengsheng”.
But the name hidden in my heart could not be called out.
"Deputy General Lu, let's go!"
The people who were traveling with him called him.
He came back to his senses, responded, and turned his horse around.
When he reached the intersection, he pulled the reins again and looked back.
The two figures have disappeared.
He left, and in the teahouse next to him, Yu Shengsheng looked at the direction he drove.
Goodbye, Beijing.
Fu Qingyin held her hand and said, "Let's go home, Madam."
