All of them had left, leaving behind only his old and broken bones to support him. He still wanted to pat his butt and leave, but how could the remaining two young and ignorant people possibly withstand the pressure of the Great Chen? Originally, he had hoped to pull Gu Yun up to the next generation, but with Ol 'Two gone, all of his plans were thrown into chaos.

As a result, Gu Yun felt extremely awkward in the imperial court, but this kind of awkwardness was not enough to make the His Majesty give up on him, so he did not even look at his resignation letter, but seeing that the other party was already so ill, how could he bear to keep him, and furthermore, he had promised his grandfather that he would eat his words and become fat, so it did not seem like it was a virtuous thing.

His Majesty was in a difficult position.

”Since that's the case, I can't delay Gu Qing's illness. However, recuperation is recuperation, so it's not really proper. I'll leave the official position with you, and when Gu Qing's illness recuperates, I'll have to use it heavily on you.”

did not think that he would still be involved with His Majesty, after all, recuperating after a year, recuperating after 10 or 8 years, and that was up to Gu Yun himself. As long as His Majesty lets him go, no matter what he says, His Majesty would definitely let him go, and after that, His Majesty would definitely become suspicious.

”This subject thanks His Majesty for his kindness!”

His Majesty waved his hand, ”Liu DeShun, send Gu Qing out.”

Gu Yun slowly walked out of the hall, leaving behind a long string of coughs.

Liu De Shun respectfully followed three steps away from Gu Yun, and when they walked down the stairs, he gave Gu Yun a hand full of eyes: ”Lord Gu, walk well.”

Liu De Shun looked down, Gu Yun looked at him meaningfully: ”Thank you Eunuch Liu.”

Xi should be not too far away from Cangzhou by now. He still had a few trifling matters she needed to take care of, and after a few days, she would be able to set off. If everything went well, she would be able to follow her to Su Prefecture, and her precious daughter could wait for at least a few more days.

Xie Jingxi was slower than he expected. She had just left Tianjin.

Three days ago, Xie Jingxi and her group had arrived at the Tongzhou Ferry. During this period of time, Fang Yu had gone out to buy food, while she herself waited alone in the cabin.

She left without a sound, and Gu Yun only sent her to the door. When they parted ways, they did not interact much, but a single glance or a few words would vent some of the emotions she should not have, and instead cause her to feel sad. The two of them held heavy responsibilities, and thought that they would meet again very soon, so he pretended to be ordinary.

But it had only been a day since then, and she already had a bit of worry, and had the urge to turn back. She didn't know if Gu Yun was successful or not, but whether the His Majesty was willing to let her go, she touched her stomach that was hidden in her thick fur coat.

Their route was to take the guest boat from the Tong Zhou Province to the Cang Zhou Province, and then change the boat. If the boat Song Yanchen came to pick up did not catch up, then he would be on another boat that Gu Yun had arranged. To deceive people, they took the guest boat first. Fang Yu and Xie Jingxi pretended to be a normal couple while Ming Yu and a few other brothers scattered around the ship. This was to prevent them from getting caught in an accident and to not attract too much attention.

She carried some food back to the cabin and intentionally walked to the back of the crowd on the boat, observing every single face on the boat. The passersby on the boat were either in a hurry or were sad about leaving home, they were all buried in their own thoughts, when they suddenly touched upon a gaze that was as clear as hers.

This person was five steps away from her, observing his path, as though he was going in the same direction as Fang Yu, thus Fang Yu followed and chased after him after a few steps, greeting him, ”Brother, are you heading towards the south as well?”

She was about twenty-five years old, and dressed like a merchant. Only then did Fang Yu calmly pat his shoulder, as if she did not know what kind of person she was supposed to be.

The man looked at Fang Yu, his words concise and concise, ”That's right.”

Fang Yu nodded her head, thinking that she was probably being too nervous.
