Chapter 341 Return to Hua County! Meet Lou Yu Again
Shao Shang cried even harder. "I never thought that one day I would be able to leave the palace again. During this time with you, I finally had the opportunity to prove that besides being Zisheng's new wife, I can also be Cheng Shao Shang. Just like I never dared to think that I could help Lady Xuan escape from her suffering, I believe this is the way she would most like to see me repay her kindness."
He Zhaojun smiled. "You once said that if your husband is the sun in the sky, you can be the stars. There's no such thing as high or low. Only when we coexist can we create the world. Do you still think so?"
Shao Shang shook his head and burst into laughter. "Seeing how you and Wen Ziduan interact, especially when Sister Duanduan appeared, I felt that this sentence seemed to have another interpretation: women can also be like you, the proud sun, defending the country, guarding the border and suppressing rebellions, and men can also be like the stars... Perhaps the proud sun and the stars shouldn't be defined by men or women."
"Yes, whether Lady Xuan wants to be the stars or the sun, we must see her off." He Zhaojun looked at the white banners in Changqiu Palace from afar. "By the time she wakes up, she should have reached Jiaodong."
——
The Northwest incident involved many high-ranking officials in the court. Among them, Liangzhou Governor Liang Wuji delayed the opportunity to fight for personal reasons. Emperor Wen, considering that he had been a loyal minister, ordered him to be demoted and sent to Jiaodong with his family to supervise the water transportation affairs of the local Chamber of Commerce in order to atone for his crime. After much consideration, Yuan Shen also resigned and was sent abroad to promote the land measurement order.
Wen Zikun and Jin Yuji escorted the sleeping Xuan Shen'an onto the ship and set sail. A few days later, Yi, Shang, Duan, Zhao, Gu Guan and Long Feibai also set out from the capital to Xuan Nujun's hometown to escort Fa Guan back to her hometown to fulfill Xuan Nujun's wish.
For a while, Emperor Wen and Concubine Yue were the only two people left in the huge palace of the capital, and they felt deeply lonely.
When they reached Hua County, Gu Guan came to report that Lou Yu wanted to see Shao Shang.
"Shao Shang, you haven't been to Hua County for a long time. Would you like to get off the car and walk with me? A Yao misses you very much. You can also see the changes in Hua County. How about it?" Lou Yu was blocked outside by Huo Buzhi's black-armored guards and could only shout at the top of his voice.
"Young lady, do you want to see him?" General Liang bowed and asked Shao Shang in front of the carriage. He knew that Shao Shang had lost contact with many old friends along the way, and even hadn't seen Lou Yu, with whom he had been at odds that day, for a long time.
Shao Shang was filled with emotion. She and Lou Yao had witnessed firsthand how Hua County, devastated by war, had now regained its vitality under Lou Yao's governance. Lou Yao had been able to achieve this; it seemed he had fulfilled his promise and become a good official.
The two men got off the carriage, and Lou Yu hurriedly stepped forward and waved, but looked behind them with some embarrassment at Lady Xuan's hair crown, and the guards led by Huo Buyi and Wen Ziduan.
"My sister-in-law is pregnant and will give birth soon. It's better not to let funerals and the atmosphere of war disturb her. You can just come with me into the mansion."
Shao Shang glanced at He Zhaojun and asked for her opinion. He Zhaojun raised an eyebrow and then smiled: "You go now, I won't bother you anymore..."
"After all, I personally contributed to the demise of the Lou family. I wonder if Mr. Lou is still blaming me." When He Zhaojun saw Lou Yu's clenched fists, she knew that she could not avoid the Hongmen Banquet today.
As she spoke, He Zhaojun turned her back, straightened Shao Shang's clothes, tied the sleeve arrow to her wrist, and patted Shao Shang on the shoulder: "Protect yourself. If anything goes wrong, withdraw immediately and don't linger."
Shao Shang replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely force you to tell me Yuan Shen's whereabouts."
