The next day, the retired emperor looked at his horrible appearance in the mirror and couldn't stand it anymore. He really couldn't stay in this palace anymore.
"Mother, let's follow the instructions. Shangguan Ruian died in the palace, and there's a lot of resentment in the palace. We should follow Master Ci'en's instructions and move to Huangjue Temple. It's a sacred place for Buddhism, and Shangguan Ruian wouldn't dare come."
When Empress Dowager Du smelled Xi Hanxiang's scent, she no longer felt the panic she had in her dream yesterday, but her complexion in the mirror was getting worse and worse.
"It's not like my mother didn't perform rituals, recite Buddhist scriptures, and chant Buddha's name for her back then. I haven't dreamed of her in all these years, why did I dream of her recently?"
Feng Yanzhi still knew clearly what the copying of scriptures and chanting of Buddha's name were all about back then.
"Now that Ayi has become the emperor, some things can no longer restrain her, which is why she haunts my dreams every night. Now, the only way to resolve this problem is to follow the instructions in the brocade bag. Otherwise, my son and I will never have peace. I am worried that one day Shangguan Ruian will kill me in my dreams, and we might never wake up again."
Empress Dowager Du felt a panic in her heart. She had deeply experienced the feeling of death in her dream.
The feeling was so uncomfortable, at that moment she just wanted to live!
How could she, the most honorable Empress Dowager of Beiyi, be frightened to death by a nightmare?
"Go and arrange it."
When Su Xingyi learned about this after leaving the court, he was shocked at first, and then a little surprised.
The original plan was just to send the retired emperor away, but Xiao Xier made a move and the mother and son had to leave the palace together to recuperate.
Su Xingyi immediately arranged for people to prepare for the emperor and his son to leave the palace, and then he could not wait to rush back to the East Palace to inform Gu Yunshu about this matter.
Yesterday, Gu Yunshu and others stayed in the palace after falling asleep.
When Su Xingyi returned to the East Palace, Gu Yunshu had already left the palace and returned to the Gu Mansion.
"Xiao Yu, have mother and the others left the palace?"
"After leaving the palace, Grandfather listened to you and didn't go to the Yangxin Palace to bother the Emperor. Today, neither the Yangxin Palace nor the Shoukang Palace sent anyone over. I wonder if Xi Hanxiang played a role?"
Su Xingyi hurriedly said, "It worked. The Emperor sent Li Haiying to wait on the road, saying that they and their son would move to Huangjue Temple to recuperate."
Xiao Lingyu was surprised, "So fast?"
"The Empress Dowager must be suffering from nightmares every night. Her health can't stand it. And the Emperor is being harassed by his grandfather. He must be thinking of leaving the palace as soon as possible."
Xiao Lingyu said, "This tampered Xihanxiang is truly extraordinary. I must hurry and use the new Xihanxiang to retrieve it."
"Take back the Xi Hanxiang. Don't destroy it yet. Keep it for now. Instead of forcibly confining them to Huangjue Temple, it's better to make them afraid to return to the palace. As long as they return, they will have nightmares, and naturally they won't dare to come back."
Xiao Lingyu's beautiful eyes lit up. "You mean, if any of them want to return to the palace, I can use the tampered Xi Hanxiang to make them have nightmares again, so they won't dare to return to the palace?"
Su Xingyi smiled and nodded, "This way, the Emperor won't be able to find fault with me. At the same time, arrange for people to keep an eye on Huangjue Temple. If Feng Jinxiu shows up, capture him directly."
"Okay, let's do as you say. When you send them to Huangjue Temple, I can go and get Xi Hanxiang back in advance."
"We can't be too hasty. Let them experience the nightmare again tonight. After the court session tomorrow, I will personally escort them to Huangjue Temple."
"Miss, the Queen sent someone to deliver a letter."
Gu Yunshu put down the account book in her hand and took the letter handed to her by Nan Yin.
When Gu Yunshu saw the contents of the letter, she became suspicious that the mother and son were actually going to move to Huangjue Temple to recuperate.
Why is she so unconvinced?
Feng Yanzhi is greedy for imperial power, so how could he go to Huangjue Temple to live a hard life?
Also, it would be good enough for Empress Dowager Du to stay in Huangjue Temple for a few days. How could she possibly stay there for a long time to recuperate?
But there was no way the daughter-in-law would joke about this.
The couple must have done something behind the scenes to make the mother and son leave Beijing on their own initiative.
"Nanyin, have someone prepare a car to go to the Prince's Palace."
"yes."
"Junior sister, why are you here?" Dongfang Yinzhang took Gu Yunshu's hand and walked towards the back garden.
Gu Yunshu looked around the Prince's Mansion and sighed inwardly. Her senior brother had decorated the mansion according to her preferences. With a sweet smile, she said to Dongfang Yinzhang, "Didn't you ask me to come and take a look at the Prince's Mansion last time? I happened to have some free time today, so I came to take a look."
Dongfang Yinzhang pursed his lips. "How is it? Do you like it here? If you don't like it here, you can change to another mansion."
"No need, this place is great, I like it very much. I just found out on the way here that the Leshan Marquis Mansion, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, and the Fuwang Mansion are very close to here on the street ahead. It's also very close to the Royal West Garden. Living here, An Ge'er and the others can come here often, which will make it convenient for me to take care of them. You can bring Xiao Wu over and I'll take care of him together."
Dongfang Yinzhang looked at Gu Yunshu with a soft expression, and said in a gentle tone: "You can also go to the palace from time to time to take care of the children."
"By the way, I came here to tell you that Feng Yanzhi and his mother will move to Huangjue Temple to recuperate tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, I can enter and leave the palace at any time. However, this matter is too strange. It is unlikely that they will leave the capital on their own initiative. Ayi has only been emperor for a short time. If Ayi did something behind his back, it would affect him."
"No, don't worry. They did do something, but Feng Yanzhi can't find any fault with Ayi. As long as they leave the capital, they won't come back. The president will live in Huangjue Temple."
Gu Yunshu smiled. She was right in her guess. Her senior brother must have done something. "Senior brother, tell me quickly, what did you do to make them, mother and son, willingly go to Huangjue Temple?"
"Ha... I didn't do that. I just knew in advance that the Empress Dowager was restless and couldn't sleep well, so I sent people to Huangjue Temple to ask Master Ci'en to interpret her dreams..."
