Gu Xin and Xie Zhiyi stayed in Chunnan City until early November, and only decided to return to Kuncheng after Gu Si and Huo Yanyu arrived.
The Empress Dowager looked at the young ladies and said with a smile, "This old woman has troubled you all. Why don't I go back with you?"
Gu Xin took the Empress Dowager's hand and said, "Great-Grandma, Aunt Yan will be coming to pick you up in a few days to go to the Goddess Kingdom. The weather there is also very nice, so you can go and see the scenery, which is completely different from that of the Great Zhou!"
The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "You! When you can sail the seas in the future, will you take your great-grandmother on a sea voyage?"
Gu Xin nodded without hesitation: "Of course! I'll definitely take Great-Grandma to play at sea. Of course, we need to be fully prepared. Great-Grandma, you must have a happy time playing everywhere."
Empress Dowager: "Very well, very well. This old woman is getting on in years, so I'll listen to the children. Great-Grandma will wait until Xin Xin says everything is foolproof before we go on a sea voyage!"
The next morning, Gu Xin and Xie Zhiyi rode off on horseback. They set off before dawn because they needed to get to the city before nightfall, so they had to ride as fast as they could.
As a result, Xie Zhiyi got her period on the way, and the closer they got to Kuncheng, the colder the weather became, and Xie Zhiyi had terrible stomach pains.
Gu Xin didn't give Xie Zhiyi the jade beads, but instead gave her painkillers made from jade beads and other medicinal herbs, which helped her feel a little better.
Once they reached the main road, they saw a carriage ahead. They slowed down and passed by the carriage. Gu Xin was still comforting Xie Zhiyi, telling her to be patient.
Xie Zhiyi's pale face flushed red. She couldn't say that she had taken painkillers and was no longer in pain. She felt that her skirt was wet and that Bai Si was following behind her, so she couldn't say anything.
"Third Miss Gu!" At this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a familiar voice rang out.
Gu Xin reined in her horse and turned around. She saw that it was Yin Yueli and frowned. "Didn't Miss Yin go to Yunzhou? Why are you back? From Kuncheng to Yunzhou, at Miss Yin's speed, you should have just arrived there."
Xie Zhiyi called out to Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, let's ignore her, she's not a good person."
Yin Yueli glanced at Xie Zhiyi: "Miss Xie, are you injured?"
Xie Zhiyi's face turned even redder. She knew it; she was sure she had caught it. Her feeling was right.
Gu Xin noticed Xie Zhiyi's predicament and turned to Yin Yueli, saying, "Let's go."
Yin Yueli spoke up: "Third Miss Gu, wait, I have something I want to tell you. It's something you definitely want to know, about Xiaoyu and her brother."
Gu Xin stopped, turned to look at Yin Yueli, her gaze sharp.
Yin Yueli smiled and said, "Miss Gu, it's cold outside. Why don't we talk in the carriage? I learned about Young Master Cheng and wanted to tell Xiaoyu, but I don't know where Xiaoyu is living now, so I came back to find Aunt Peng."
Gu Xin: "Didn't you know to send a message back?"
Yin Yueli shook her head: "This matter must be discussed personally; it cannot be known by others. I only told Miss Gu because of her good relationship with Xiaoyu. I wouldn't have told anyone else! Young Master Cheng's current situation is not good, so we cannot let those with ulterior motives know, lest it worsen his condition. If Miss Gu doesn't want to know, then that's fine. Farewell!"
After saying that, Yin Yueli lowered the carriage curtain and told the driver to continue.
Gu Xin called out to her, "Wait!"
Seeing the driver put down his whip, Gu Xin said to Xie Zhiyi, "Yiyi, you go back first. The city gate is just ahead. Don't worry about me. Bai Si is with you too."
