"It's nothing, just a casual remark."
"Just a casual remark? It's not a big deal if you just said it casually, but it can easily lead to misunderstandings from others. Besides, if it didn't mean anything, would you suddenly bring it up?" An Tingyu gave him another cold look. It was him who suddenly brought it up, and it was also him who remained silent now. What did Fu Mo want to do by coming back this time?
"Then just treat me as a joke."
"Then you're joking too much."
In the end, An Tingyu didn't hear more from Fu Mo, and he didn't take the Heart-Locking Harp away. But Fu Mo's sudden advice still left doubts in An Tingyu's heart. He hadn't been back for many years, and when he came back, he kept saying absurd things. Whether it was the child's father or Grandpa An, she felt that things were not that simple. Through this conversation, An Tingyu was even more certain that Fu Mo came back for a purpose, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
After the affairs of the Nineteenth Medical College were stabilized, An Tingyu began to retire. She taught the knowledge she had learned to Yang Qingwei individually, and then Yang Qingwei became the students' teacher. In this way, An Tingyu made a lot of space for herself.
"Sister An, you want to go to Yue Kingdom for business? Why are you traveling so far?" In the palace, Long Xunyi looked at An Tingyu in surprise. As the nineteenth generation Lord of the Nether Palace, it would not be a problem for An Tingyu to go to any imperial kingdom for business, not to mention that the four countries have now formed an alliance. Even if An Tingyu went there as a citizen of the Longyan Kingdom, she would not be hindered. But if it comes to money, both the Nether Palace and her personal property are enough for her descendants to use for several lifetimes. Why is she working so hard?
"Why?" An Tingyu murmured, repeating his words. After a moment, she said lightly: "When you become the emperor, why do you want to work hard for the country? So sometimes there is no reason, it's just a matter of wanting to do so."
Although the Nether Palace is extremely wealthy and her personal finances are no less than those of the richest people in various countries, no one hates having a lot of money. She has business talent, she can have a wider world, can go further, can stand at a higher place, so why should she stick to the land of Dragon Flame Kingdom?
"But……"
"My heart longs to fly, why should I be a bird in a cage?"
Hearing this, Long Xunyi sighed slightly, "Since Sister An has said so, then I have no choice but to agree. But what about little Yunxi? Should someone take him with us or let him stay in the Prime Minister's Residence?"
An Tingyu smiled slightly, "Of course I'll take him with me. During the plague, I gave him to Xing'er. She hasn't fulfilled her motherly responsibilities for four months. Now I'm just carrying out my grand plan, not going to war, so it's okay for Xi'er to come along."
"Indeed, I would like to wish you immediate success and go create your own world!"
…
After leaving Long Xunyi's Qiankun Palace, An Tingyu did not leave immediately, but went to the Queen Mother's Anhe Palace.
Inside the hall, green smoke curled from the incense burner, and the entire palace was filled with a faint fragrance. The empress dowager sat on the phoenix chair, looking at An Tingyu with her enchanting eyes.
"So, you are saying goodbye to me?"
"Tingyu left without saying anything about the plague. Although she's not going to stay away forever this time, Tingyu still feels she should say something."
"No room for negotiation?"
"Please... Your Majesty Mother, grant me your permission." An Tingyu originally wanted to say Queen Mother, but she changed it in the end. In fact, she was really uncomfortable calling the Queen Mother Mother, but since Long Xunyi requested again and again, she had no choice but to agree.
The Queen Mother's eyes softened slightly after she called her "Mother," but she continued, "You know, even if the four nations form an alliance, some people care more about you, the nineteenth concubine, than the four nations themselves. Gaining your power is like gaining the four nations directly. No one is stupid, so even someone who smiles at you might stab you in the back. In this situation, do you still want to go?"
"Yes!"
"Then Xi'er should stay in the palace!"
"He's my son, he has to stay with me. Also, this is a year's worth of prescriptions. You need to change the medicine every two months or so. It details the changes in your condition and the prescriptions you should use after the changes. I've already had Yang Qingwei talk to Doctor Zhong about this. If there are no problems, your old illness will be cured within a year."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, but said nothing more. Since preparations had already come to this point, it was obvious that An Tingyu had to go, so it would be useless for her to say more.
…
Back at the Prime Minister's Residence, An Tingyu saw Old Man An playing with little Yunxi as soon as she entered the house. Seeing her return, Old Man An smiled kindly, "You're back, little girl?"
"Well, didn't Grandpa go to play chess with General Xing today?" The General Xing that An Tingyu mentioned was a friend of Grandpa An, and this General Xing was also a friend of Fu Zhonghan, her legendary grandfather. It was said that the three of them had known each other since their youth, but after Fu Yinchun died, Fu Zhonghan left, and now only Grandpa An and General Xing were left in Tianmen.
"That old guy is playing dirty. He regrets his move even though he lost. Grandpa won't play with him anymore." Grandpa An said angrily.
Hearing this, An Tingyu chuckled and said nothing, but in her heart, she thought: "Just not playing today? I'll go again in a few days."
"Girl, I heard from Xing'er that you entered the palace today?"
"Yes! I'm going to say goodbye to Xun Yi and the Queen Mother. I'm going to the State of Chen."
"Chen State?" Upon hearing this, Mr. An frowned slightly, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Chen State? Are you going to see that old man?"
An Tingyu knew that the old man that Grandpa An was talking about was actually her nominal grandfather. Regarding this point, An Tingyu did not deny it. "I guess so! Because of some problems, I want to go to Chen State. Of course, that problem is not the main reason. I want to create my own business empire in Chen State, Yuyan State, and even the whole world. In fact, I have planned this for a long time, but at that time, the four countries had not yet formed an alliance, so it would be bad to be too conspicuous. Now is the time."
