Gu Nian had no idea what the emperor was thinking. At this moment, she was holding a bunch of flowers and plants, which Xue Qianyu had sent over.
The letter explained the reason for sending the flowers and plants.
Xue Qianyu's sister's husband's family were imperial merchants who owned the largest dye house in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He knew a bit about dyes, and during his spare time while guarding the mountain, he would pick these dyes for Gu Nian. He couldn't explain why he was giving them to her, but he just thought they might be useful to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian thought it was useful, very useful. Many of these flowers and herbs can be used to extract essences and add them to cosmetics.
There are so many different shades of lipstick!
There are indeed many plants in Kunju that Gyeongju doesn't have.
Although she was busy again, she was in a good mood.
She didn't reply to Xue Qianyu either; the previous correspondence with Li Muyan still left her with some lingering trauma.
She thought she should let things take their course and follow her heart. If she didn't want to reply, she wouldn't force herself to do it like before.
...
When the officials from the Ministry of Revenue arrived with the imperial edict, the Great Zhou Dynasty was already at war with the Southern Frontier.
Kunzhou was placed on high alert, and strict checks were conducted at the city gates of Kuncheng. Anyone who could not explain their purpose was not allowed to enter.
Furthermore, Kuncheng Restaurant no longer provides accommodation.
The Gu family also told their children not to leave the city recently, but to stay in the city for peace and quiet.
May arrived, and at the end of May, Yan Mo sacrificed himself.
There was also a traitor among the people of Southern Xinjiang who was lying in wait around Yan Mo. Just as Yan Mo's army was about to break through the Southern Xinjiang defense line, he was bitten to death by a poisonous insect.
After receiving the news, General Peng San led Peng Lang and Lu Zheng to take over.
Before going there, Lu Zheng specifically sought out Xue Qianyu. Based on his experience from his previous life, he had a perfect plan, but he needed Xue Qianyu's cooperation.
In his previous life, Yan Mo was punished by the emperor for the Mei Ren Jiao incident and later sacrificed himself in the battle against the Southern Frontier. Lu Zheng in his previous life was still in his hometown of Yuzhou at that time and had no idea what had happened.
He knew that whether it was the Beauty's Charm incident or the final sacrifice incident, Yan Mo died because of an internal traitor.
Several years ago, during the Meirenjiao incident, Lu Zheng reminded Yan Mo to be careful of the people around him. He couldn't understand why Yan Mo was so careless and why he didn't completely eliminate the people.
He thought that the previous incident with the beautiful woman had changed Yan Mo's trajectory, and that Yan Mo would be able to escape this calamity. He never expected that Yan Mo's fate would still remain unchanged.
Lu Zheng felt a pang of sadness, lamenting the loss of such a good general.
However, what's done is done, and there's no point in saying more.
Gu Xin was still very worried about Lu Zheng.
That day, she saw Lu Zheng off at the city gate and gave him a small bottle: "Brother Yuanyuan, these are pills I made myself. They will heal both internal and external injuries. You must take good care of yourself. I hope you can return them to me when you come back. I haven't taken a single one."
Lu Zheng took it and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely take good care of myself. Xin Xin, you too, be good. Don't leave the city until things in the Southern Frontier are over. Right now, Kuncheng is the safest place in Kunzhou."
Gu Xin nodded obediently: "I know, Brother Yuanyuan."
Lu Zheng let out a breath and rode away.
Gu Xin stood at the city gate and watched until she could no longer see it, and she was reluctant to leave.
At this moment, a carriage stopped beside Gu Xin. Inside the carriage, Peng Mu, who looked weak, lifted the curtain and greeted Gu Xin: "Third Miss Gu."
