But such a person, with excellent character, good looks, and abilities, did not have a good ending.
Thinking of Gu Linchao's fate in the original book, Wen Nongnong sighed.
Should she remind him?
Should I keep my distance from him, or make him divorce me and break off the relationship?
Wen Nongnong touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, a gift from the Empress Dowager, feeling conflicted.
study.
On Gu Linchao's desk were two stacks of files.
On one side were the political affairs of the imperial court, and on the other side were military affairs.
After finishing his duties in the court, he prepared to handle military affairs.
"master."
At that moment, Si Yi hurriedly walked in.
"What is it?" Gu Linchao asked, his head bowed as he wrote furiously at his desk.
"News has come from the palace that the Emperor left the palace today without anyone's knowledge and has not returned. Moreover, he only had a young servant named Xiao Du with him. It is getting dark, and the Empress Dowager is extremely worried. She has specially sent someone out of the palace to ask the Emperor for help in searching for him," Si Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao looked up and rubbed his temples. "He's not a child anymore, so why is he still so troublesome?"
Si Yi lowered his head, not daring to reply.
Gu Linchao threw down his brush and said, "Pass on my order to have the Ironclad Guards search the entire city. Remember, do not let this information leak out."
"I'll go right away." Si Yi immediately left.
Gu Linchao thought for a moment, stood up, took the cloak, and walked outside.
"Does Your Majesty intend to go see the Emperor in person?" Wang Houde hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice.
"I'll go take a look," Gu Linchao said in a low voice, and then quickly walked away.
...
In a village on the outskirts of Beijing.
These past few days have felt like an eternity for Wen Ruyi; she has been enduring immense suffering.
Since being sent to this estate, she has been under surveillance by people all around her.
They used the pretext of taking care of her to spy on her.
Wherever she goes, there are always people following her, monitoring her every move.
She couldn't go anywhere, let alone leave the manor and return to the capital.
She was going crazy, but she couldn't reveal that she didn't have amnesia.
The ordeal of the past few days had caused her to lose weight and look haggard, no longer the radiant woman she once was at the Wen residence.
She is now like a prisoner, isolated from the outside world, with no freedom at all.
But she was unwilling to be trapped here like this.
She needs to find a way to get out of here.
As long as I leave this place and see the old lady, and let her see my miserable state, she will surely be unable to bear it and will help me.
But the prerequisite is that she can get out of here.
Lost in thought, she unknowingly walked to the back gate of the estate.
She had been to this village before. The back gate opened onto a patch of wasteland, the grass growing as tall as a person. Further on, there was a pond where the farmers raised many fish, and next to it was a path leading down the mountain.
If we can go down that path, we can return to the capital.
"Third Miss, you're not feeling well. It's windy outside, so please don't catch a cold. You should go back inside."
Just as Wen Ruyi's hand was about to touch the door latch, the old woman following behind her suddenly spoke up.
Wen Ruyi turned around and glanced at her, then said timidly, "I feel a little stuffy..."
Seeing this, the old woman looked at her with disdain, "The Third Miss is really precious. She is served good food and drink all day long, and she still complains about being bored."
While she was speaking, Wen Ruyi had already unlatched the door.
"I'm just going out for some fresh air, I'll be right back," she said quickly, pulling open the door and running out.
The old woman's expression changed, and she quickly chased after her.
