The next morning, before dawn, the Gu family set off.
General Peng and his two attendants also set off with them.
The horses that Xingnan Kingdom lost earlier had already been transported to Kuncheng by General Peng's orders half a month ago. More than a thousand warhorses and more than a thousand soldiers left in a grand procession, which was witnessed by everyone in the capital.
After exiting the West Gate, Gu Xin leaned out the window and glanced back at the gate. She suddenly remembered that her great-grandmother was so old, shouldn't she leave her a jar of health-preserving pills?
These health-preserving pills were made by Grandma Xiao, who also taught her the recipe so that she could make them for her grandparents. She even added jade beads to them.
She left in such a hurry that she forgot about it.
Why don't we buy medicinal herbs in Tongzhou, prepare them on the way, and have Bai Er make the trip?
There are nine brothers in white, numbered from two to ten.
They used to manage the Thousand Blades Sect for him, but later Baiyi was subdued by Lu Zheng and acted according to Lu Zheng's orders. Naturally, these nine people also listened to Lu Zheng.
Bai Jiu was still not fully recovered from her injuries, so she stayed in the capital to work with Bai Yi. Bai Yi sent two, four, six, and eighty people to follow Gu Xin.
As a result, the carriage stopped at Wangxiang Pavilion after traveling a short distance.
There are pavilions outside several city gates in the capital, used for seeing off travelers, picking up people, or for resting during journeys.
A light rain was falling. The Empress Dowager stood in the pavilion, accompanied by Granny Shen, Shen Feng, and Xue Qianyu, who was carrying a knife.
Xue Qianyu, dressed in a dark red guard uniform, stood straight beside the Empress Dowager, watching the person alight from the carriage.
He wasn't summoned by the Empress Dowager; he simply came when he woke up in the morning to see someone off. He didn't ask the Empress Dowager any questions upon seeing her.
The Empress Dowager simply smiled and spoke to him without saying much more.
Since we've already run into him, I don't intend to hide anything from him. Let's see if he can figure it out himself.
General Peng was instructed by the Empress Dowager to come and say goodbye.
"Great-Grandma, there's something I forgot to tell you. I have a health-preserving pill that Grandma Xiao taught me to make. I usually make it for Grandpa and Grandma, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to make it for you. Can I make it on the way and have someone send it to you in the capital? Should I just have someone find Uncle Shen?" Gu Xin said, holding the Empress Dowager's hand.
"My dear child, your great-grandmother has some! Your grandfather gave it to us, enough to last for two months. We'll make more when you get to Kuncheng, and then send it over. No rush!" The Empress Dowager patted Gu Xin's head.
"Oh right, I'm so silly! Grandpa has a three-month supply! I just made it a few days ago. Perfect timing, we're on our way to Kuncheng, Grandpa can eat it along the way. Hehe, Great-Grandma, remember to eat it! One in the morning and one at night. It's very effective." Gu Xin slapped her forehead.
"Great-Grandma, I'll miss you." Gu Ren hugged the Empress Dowager's feet and looked up at her, acting cute.
He knew perfectly well that the old lady could live for another ten years or so; he hadn't even written a chapter about her passing away in his novel yet.
"Oh dear, your great-grandmother's great-grandson, why don't you stay and be your uncle's son?" The Empress Dowager was reluctant to part with him.
"No! I'll be my great-grandmother's great-grandson!" Gu Ren shook his head.
The Empress Dowager was laughing so hard she almost cried.
Several children gathered around to talk, then Uncle Gu and Gu Shouxin came forward with their wives, and finally Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu came forward.
“Gu Nian.” Xue Qianyu walked to Gu Nian’s side.
Gu Hui hugged Gu Ren and moved her younger siblings to the side.
Gu Nian looked at Xue Qianyu.
