Chapter 468: Loving someone is like growing flowers
After Zhao Hui was suppressed by Gu Yue, her daily life was nothing like that of a princess.
Now she is not dead yet, although she has the title of princess, it is better not to have it. Although Gu Yue does not have the title of princess, everyone in this fiefdom regards her as a princess.
She gave birth to another son, and Murong Sheng loved and indulged her very much.
Zhao Hui lived in a dilapidated courtyard and was served by only a personal maid. Her food and allowance were withheld every day. She suffered from the cold in winter and heatstroke in summer.
Now, after three years of being tortured, where is her former confidence and sharpness?
She now had no love for Murong Sheng, only hatred, and she hated Gu Yue even more, wishing she could cut her into pieces.
In Kyoto, news had already spread that the emperor was dying, and all the princes would have to return to the capital to keep vigil. If they wanted to take action, this would be the best opportunity.
They still have supporters in Kyoto. After three years of changes, Murong Sheng has raised a lot of elite soldiers with the financial support of Gu Yue, and they are ready to help him usurp the throne at any time.
He also has the strong support of the King of Chu. The specific situation on the King of Qi's side is unknown, but they have close contacts, and it is estimated that they are almost certainly in the same group.
Now, the emperor in Kyoto is in critical condition, and there is a sense of pressure lingering in the court every day.
The Crown Prince was worried about his father's health, so he was a little serious when he attended court, no longer as relaxed and humorous as usual. Everyone could feel that something was wrong with his mood, so they were all very cautious and did not dare to say the wrong thing.
Jiang Yu is now the Minister of Justice. He stands at the front every day when he attends court, watching these old men arguing with each other over various issues. Not only does he find it boring, but even Murong Huai, who is sitting at the top of the table, waits for them to finish arguing before speaking. He only speaks out to stop them when the quarrel becomes unbearable.
Everyone can talk a lot, but they can't come up with a serious strategy.
Later, it was Su Jing who suggested that now that the national treasury was full, in order to prevent traffic problems at the Xuanhe Dam, it was recommended to carry out maintenance every three years.
Today, the banks of the Xuan River are surrounded by lush vegetation. Even during the flood season, when the river water rushes out of the dam, it can be blocked by these plants.
Today, the people of Xuanhe have a stable life, economic development has recovered, and life has become better.
Look, this is an official who gets things done. Murong Huai directly agreed to his proposal.
He had already made up his mind that after he officially ascended the throne, Su Jing would be the future prime minister.
As for Jiang Yu, he has no ambition to serve in the court anyway, so he can do whatever he wants when the time comes. Of course, it would be better for him to stay and help him.
When he returned home from court, Su Wan was playing with little Chengyi in the garden. He was sitting on the grass with two kittens snuggling up to him on both sides.
Su Wan sat on a stone bench drinking tea, Liuyun stood beside her, and they were talking about something, both of them had smiles in their eyes.
Because Liuying was about to give birth, she was asked to go back and rest.
Jiang Yu changed into ordinary clothes. He still loved purple. After so many years, he was no longer the high-spirited prince. He looked more calm and capable.
All of this was trained in the officialdom over the past two years.
But Su Wan still has a very girlish look. She is only about 22 years old. Because she lives a comfortable and happy life on weekdays, everyone still pampers her as always. When a woman has no worries, she will not age quickly.
It is true that loving someone is like growing flowers.
Little Chengyi was originally standing on the lawn, waving the small short sword made of rosewood by his grandfather for him. When he noticed his father coming back, he immediately ran towards him steadily, calling "Dad".
Jiang Yu bent down and picked him up:
"Did you listen to your mother at home today?"
Little Chengyi nodded. He was very obedient every day. He didn’t cry or make a fuss. He just played quietly by himself. On the contrary, he was the one playing with his mother.
He is almost three years old. Jiang Yu decided to train him to do horse stance when he turns three, to practice the basics and lower body, and then study the martial arts of Fengyue Villa well.
"Our son has always been very well behaved. Why did you come home so early today?"
Su Wan poured him some hot tea.
Su Wan nowadays seems to have not changed much, except that after becoming a mother, she still has a somewhat gentle temperament.
"The emperor's health has been getting worse recently, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried. Everyone is tacitly aware of this during court sessions, and no one wants any more accidents to happen at this critical juncture. If we just do our jobs honestly and conscientiously, there will be less work to do, and naturally we will have more free time." Jiang Yu explained.
It has been more than three months since the emperor returned to the capital. In order to be able to take care of him at any time, Su Mu was summoned to live in the palace, bringing his second sister-in-law and little Yuanzhi with him.
Xiao Yuanzhi inherited her father's genes and also has a very sensitive nose. She was born to study medicine.
"What did my second brother say?" Su Wan had a feeling that Kyoto was about to be in chaos.
"It'll probably be two months at most. Fengyue Villa has noticed that Jin and Chu haven't been behaving properly lately, so I have a plan. I've already written to Uncle He. You, your mother-in-law, and the others, take the children to Fengyue Villa to stay for a few months. I'll bring you back before the end of the year, okay?"
Jiang Yu has this plan, which means that Murong Sheng is definitely not doing anything small.
"Just let my parents go, I'll stay with you."
"No, Chengyi is still young and can't leave you for too long." Jiang Yu disagreed with her staying.
In fact, Su Wan wanted to say that if he stayed, using his understanding of the original work, he might be able to help them a little.
However, she never told Jiang Yu her secret.
"Ayu, listen to me for once. I have to stay. I won't cause you any trouble. I will protect myself."
Su Wan looked at him steadily, and there seemed to be a determination in his eyes.
Jiang Yu's heart tightened. He was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
Su Wan then smiled at him, a very natural smile, without any pretense of ease.
"Then I'll go tell my parents and the others. You can arrange for more people to ensure their safety on the road."
Jiang Yu nodded, put little Chengyi on the ground and handed him over to the care of the wet nurse.
"I'll go with you!"
The couple went to the Su Mansion next door and called everyone back. Except for the second brother and others who were still in the palace, basically everyone was here.
The third brother and the eldest brother cannot leave, but someone has to take charge on the way to Fengyue Villa. Undoubtedly, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are the best candidates.
Now Chenglou no longer needs Su Yun to be involved in everything. After he leaves, Chenglou can continue to operate.
Su's father and mother didn't know what their daughter and son-in-law meant by their sudden decision, and actually asked them to take the children to live in Fengyue Villa for a while.
