The concubines gathered around Suman, crying and laughing.
They laughed because from today on, they could live for themselves, but they cried because they couldn't bear to leave Suman and their sisters.
"My Queen, I can't bear to leave you."
Concubine Song hugged Su Man's arm and cried and hiccuped.
Concubine Li cried even harder, even blowing a bubble of snot. This time, she no longer cared about her appearance and wailed, "Empress, I won't leave. I'll stay with you."
Su Man poked her forehead and said, "I am leaving too. Who will you stay with?"
"Wow, without the Queen, who will tell me stories in the future?" Liu Changzai cried loudly.
Su Man patted her hands, pointed to the distant sky, and said softly, "Look, the sky is so vast. Your life should not be limited to here. Go, go see the sky outside, meet someone who truly treats you well, and live a good life for yourself."
-
Su Man sent them to the palace gate. Watching them leave one by one, she wiped away her tears and smiled.
"Since you can't bear to leave, why don't you ask them to stay with you?"
A man in a black robe with wide sleeves walked over.
Su Man raised an eyebrow, "Who said I want to stay?"
Prince Beiping smiled, his handsome face full of charm. "Then I'll put it another way. Murong Hong's queen has become history. Are you willing to be my queen?"
"I don't want to." Su Man answered decisively.
"Why?"
Although the King of Beiping's voice was nonchalant, his eyes were cold.
Su Man looked outside the palace gate and said, "You only want to take me into the palace because you are afraid of the Gu family's power."
Prince Beiping raised his thin lips slightly, "Since you know, you know that I will never let you go."
Su Man squinted at him and asked, "What if I tell you that if you let me go, my father will be willing to retire and return home?"
The Prince of Beiping raised his eyebrows. "Really?"
He laughed and shook his head, "Prime Minister Gu is really affectionate towards his daughter."
In fact, it was not just because of her, but Prime Minister Gu had already wanted to withdraw.
But the situation back then was that Prime Minister Gu, Prince of Beiping, and Murong Hong were the three major powers.
The surrounding forces are also intertwined and if one fails to handle it properly, there will be no recovery.
Now, Murong Hong has passed away and the King of Beiping has ascended the throne. His methods are even more ruthless than Murong Hong's, and he will never tolerate a powerful minister like Prime Minister Gu.
If I resign rashly, it will make him suspicious. It is better to use this as an excuse to retire and thus maintain my wealth and status.
Su Man would not tell King Beiping about this. She just smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I wish you a long life."
After saying that, she walked out of the palace gate without looking back.
-
After returning to Gu's family, Su Man took over Gu Man's care and became a good daughter.
Concubine Song and Concubine Liu opened a storytelling teahouse together, and from time to time they would dress up as women and tell a story.
Concubine An took her daughter to travel and enjoy the scenery, and was very happy.
And no matter where we go, there are sisters to serve as tour guides.
Everyone gathered together and chatted about their life in the palace back then, which seemed like a lifetime ago.
After the national mourning, King Beiping ascended the throne.
Su Man said goodbye to her parents and said that she wanted to go out and see the beautiful scenery outside, and left home.
[Murong Hong loses the throne, and his luck value is reset to zero]
[The current world mission has been completed and received five-star praise from Guman]
Postscript: The King of Beiping sent troops to conquer the Yi people and wiped them out in three years. The people living in the border areas lived and worked in peace.
The vast rivers and mountains are still there today.
