At the gate of Cangwu City, five or six guards escorted Jiang Zhixu out and then turned back to the city.
Jin Nianchu and Dabao stood there, looking at Jiang Zhixu quietly. They held a bundle and a sword in their hands, which were the bags prepared for Jiang Zhixu.
Jin Nianchu walked up to Jiang Zhixu, handed him the bundle and sword, and said, "Dad, the Queen Mother is very calm this time. Chunxue has already led her men to clear out Fengqi Palace. It's best if you don't appear in front of her for a while."
Dabao also came over, leading a horse to Jiang Zhixu's side, and said, "Second Uncle, the army will be leaving in a few days. Second Uncle's wife asked me to go with the army to gain some experience. She said that my kung fu is already top-notch, but I still lack some actual fighting experience."
Jiang Zhixu took the luggage and sword, then took the horse reins, and said to Dabao with a smile:
"Your kung fu is indeed very good. Even Second Uncle is no match for you."
After hearing this, Dabao immediately became energetic and said with full of fighting spirit:
"Well, Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely perform well! You should also take good care of yourself. You also know that Nianchu's current status is special, so we can only send you here."
Jiang Zhixu nodded, expressing his understanding. At this moment, Jin Nianchu suddenly ran over like a gust of wind, hugged Jiang Zhixu's legs tightly and sobbed:
"Dad, I don't want you to leave. Can you come back to see Nianchu? Wuuwuwu..."
Jiang Zhixu squatted down, gently stroked Jin Nianchu's head, and gently reminded:
"Good boy, Daddy will definitely come back to see you. You must take good care of yourself in the palace and listen to your mother's instructions."
Jin Nianchu slowly raised her tear-stained little face, looked straight at Jiang Zhixu with her big watery eyes, and then nodded vigorously.
"Dad, I know that the Queen Mother won't let you into Cangwu City. If you come, just have someone pass a message to me outside the city, and I'll come out."
Her voice was slightly choked and had a hint of crying, but she still tried to make her tone sound firm.
Jiang Zhixu stared at the tiny being before him, his heart filled with guilt. His daughter had been away from him since birth, then lost for two years. He'd finally found her, but after only a short time together, he was abandoning her again.
He gently held Jin Nianchu's little hand, slowly squatted down, looked at her at eye level, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.
"Chu Chu, Dad is sorry for you."
His voice was low and gentle, as if it contained endless apology:
"You must take good care of yourself when your father is not around. You are still young, so no matter what happens, you must tell your mother. Your mother loves you very much and will listen to you no matter what. Don't try to handle it all by yourself."
Jin Nianchu listened to her father's words, tears welled up in her eyes, but she sniffed hard to stop the tears from falling. She forced a smile, a smile that was uglier than crying, and comforted him:
"Dad, I remember, you have to take care of yourself too."
Jiang Zhixu stood up and looked at Jin Nianchu's pretending to be strong, feeling even more uncomfortable. He climbed onto his horse, but his movements were a little slow, as if he was reluctant to leave.
Finally, he waved to Jin Nianchu and Dabao and said softly:
"Go back and don't let the Queen Mother worry."
After saying this, he lightly squeezed the horse's belly, and the steed under his crotch slowly moved forward. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the silent road, gradually fading away.
Jiang Zhixu had just walked a short distance when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Dabao riding his horse to catch up with him. Dabao ran to Jiang Zhixu and took out a small bottle from his arms:
"Second uncle, this is the golden medicine that Second uncle's mother prepared herself. It works really well. Take it with you."
Jiang Zhixu took the small bottle, his heart filled with warmth:
"Okay, Second Uncle will accept it. Go back and take good care of yourself and Nianchu."
Dabao nodded, reined in the horse, and watched Jiang Zhixu's receding figure until he could no longer see her. Then he turned his horse around and returned to Jin Nianchu, slowly carrying her back to the city, still crying.
Jiang Zhixu kept looking back, his eyes fixed on the gate of Cangwu City, as if something there was drawing him in. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping she would keep him, even if it was just for a few words.
However, she did not do as he wished. Not only did she not try to keep him, but she ruthlessly drove him away and even cleaned up his bedroom, as if he had never lived there.
Jiang Zhixu felt bitter in his heart. He knew that she had made up her mind to abandon him completely. Not only that, his position as queen was also abolished.
Just as Jiang Zhixu was lost in his misery, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. His heart tightened, thinking it was Dabao chasing him again. However, when he looked closely, he was surprised to find that it was actually a gorgeous carriage, speeding towards him.
The carriage came to an abrupt stop in front of Jiang Zhixu, and the door slowly opened, revealing a figure. Jiang Zhixu took a closer look and discovered it was Jin Linlin!
Jiang Zhixu was stunned. He had never expected to see Jin Linlin here. Before he could say anything, Jin Linlin didn't even get out of the carriage and said to him directly:
"Jiang Zhixu, I'm pregnant with triplets."
Jiang Zhixu's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked at Jin Linlin in disbelief.
Jin Linlin continued:
"I plan to make Consort De the empress, and the child will call him dad. I will make you regret forever, regret what you gave up."
Jiang Zhixu's heart felt like it had been struck hard by a heavy hammer, and he could no longer maintain his composure. He looked at Jin Linlin with a deep and complex gaze, and murmured slowly:
