Bringing love across time and space

Gu Yuchen knew the emperor's intention very well. Exiling the Ruan family was just to make his road to exile more difficult.

However, he couldn't understand why the Li family, which had nothing to do with him, would suffer such a misfortune.

He was already tired of these complicated court struggles, and now he just wanted to find a peaceful place for the people around him.

He walked towards the crowd at the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and facing the Duke of Anguo, he said softly: "Uncle, I have implicated you."

Duke Anguo looked at him.

With deep love in his eyes, he shook his head.

She said in a gentle voice: "Yuchen, this is not your fault. As long as we can be with you, our mansion doesn't care."

Gu Yuchen held Duke Anguo's hand tightly, and the affection and determination were transmitted through his palm.

He turned to Chao Wei again with the same apologetic look on his face.

Chao Wei waved his hand casually.

Said: "King Chen, how can this be blamed on you? We will not blame you."

They all knew that Gu Yuchen was a responsible man. He would rather endure the pain himself than let those around him get hurt.

Gu Yuchen looked around and saw that among these families, some children were less than two years old, and some elderly people were already walking with difficulty.

A feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart. These innocent people were forced to embark on the road of exile because of him.

He introduced these people to Lin Qingya,

Then he pointed at Lin Qingya and said to the people in Anguo Mansion: "This is Lin Qingya, my newly married wife."

Duke Anguo looked at Lin Qingya warily, and Lin Qingya understood that his vigilance came from the original owner's father.

However, Lin Qingya did not care about these things. She knew that time would reveal a person's true character, and she was confident that she could impress the people in the Anguo Mansion with her sincerity.

Today is a festive day in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as they are preparing dowry for their daughter who is about to get married.

As night fell, the Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and was brightly lit, just like daytime.

Outside the palace, a long line of carriages snaked around, carrying blessings and gifts from guests from all over, creating a very lively atmosphere.

This scene was even more solemn and lively than when the eldest daughter Lin Qingya married into Prince Chen's Mansion.

Prime Minister Lin Hai and his wife stood hand in hand in front of the mansion gate, welcoming the princes and nobles who arrived one after another with a smile on their faces.

They were all smiling and greeted the guests one by one, showing the host's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

The other guests were led by the butler and seated. Everyone in the mansion was busy.

Only Lin Qingjiao was in her boudoir, laughing and chatting with a few close friends, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Prime Minister Lin Hai couldn't help but feel secretly happy as he watched the exquisite gifts being delivered to the mansion.

These gifts were all extraordinary and priceless, enough to solve his money worries. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking that today was a double blessing.

At this time, a luxurious carriage slowly drove up and stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A majestic prince stepped down from the carriage. He was the current King of Wei.

The Prince of Wei's palace had never been visited by thieves, so the gift he sent was particularly valuable.

The servant carefully brought out a money tree carved from blood jade and a piece of naturally formed warm jade.

The warm jade is shaped like a baby, lying peacefully in the brocade box. It is about fifty to sixty centimeters long and nearly thirty centimeters thick. It is crystal clear and as smooth as jade. It is indeed a rare treasure.

Seeing this, the prime minister and his wife hurried forward to express their gratitude. It turned out that this blood jade money tree and the warm jade were both things that the King of Wei had wanted to present to the emperor.

The King of Wei did not dare to present the two items to the emperor because a master had calculated that they were ominous signs. Now, he gave them to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What is the deep meaning behind this?

Although Prime Minister Lin Hai was confused, he did not show it on his face.

He thought that the King of Wei was trying to win him over, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh at the King of Wei's stupidity.

However, he was also well aware of the dangers of officialdom and did not dare to reveal his true feelings easily.

Soon, the prince also came to the prime minister's residence. The gift he brought was also extraordinary.

One is an authentic painting of "Scenery Picture" by a great scholar of the previous dynasty.

The other one was a night-shining pearl that was carried by four people.

This night pearl is dazzling and shines brightly at night, which is breathtaking.

However, this night-shining pearl has accompanied two owners, but they both died young and due to illness.

Therefore, the prince sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a gift.

Prime Minister Lin Hai believed that the prince was most likely like the King of Wei and wanted to win him over, so he sent such an expensive gift.

The prime minister secretly laughed at the two gentlemen, saying they were so stupid.

At this moment, Gu Yuchen and his companions had already had their meal, but Duke An Guo and his companions were still on their way and had not eaten.

Lin Qingya decided without hesitation to cook for the Anguo Mansion and the Chao family herself.

She knew that the food here was inedible, with only lard and salt, and no other seasonings.

So she went into the kitchen. It was after dinner so no one was there.

She used the seasonings and soybean oil in the space to make delicious dishes.

Spicy diced chicken, old duck soup, steamed fish, braised pork, and a few vegetarian dishes, a total of eight dishes.

The portions of each dish are generous. Looking at these dishes will make everyone salivate.

Lin Qingya put all the seasonings into the space, then went out and called everyone to come and serve the dishes.

She also specially brought some dishes to the people who were escorting the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

After a long day's journey, everyone was already hungry. Seeing such delicious food, they couldn't wait to eat it.

Duke Anguo also tasted a bite of the braised pork. It was fat but not greasy, and the meat was tender. It was a delicacy he had never tasted before.

He ate voraciously like everyone else.

The people from Ruan's family and Liu Tao's family could only watch the Anguo Mansion and Chao family eat, and they could only gnaw on cold noodles and steamed buns.

The Li family also ate the cold noodle buns in their hands in silence.

After a short while, the plates were empty. Everyone was full and felt their stomachs as they prepared to find a place to sleep.

In fact, after the Chen Palace was sealed, the Anguo Mansion and the Chao family had already begun to transfer their assets.

The head of the Li family, Li Da, spoke up for Gu Yuchen that time, and after returning home he felt that something was wrong.

He also transferred part of the property. Although not as much as the Anguo Mansion and the Chao family, most of the property was properly arranged.

Except for those that could not be taken away, the rest were transferred for fear of being implicated.

Now it seems like a wise move.

The Ruan and Liu families were not so lucky. They did not bring anything with them, only a few banknotes and some packages given by relatives.

Although there were banknotes in the bundle, compared with the Anguo Mansion and the Chao Family, their property seemed insignificant.

Night falls and the stars twinkle.

Gu Yuchen stood at the window of the inn, looking at the distant horizon.

He knew that this road of exile was full of dangers.

But he firmly believes that as long as everyone unites as one, they can overcome any difficulties together.

Lin Qingya walked gently to his side and handed him a cup of hot tea.

She said gently: "Yuchen, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Gu Yuchen looked at her gratefully, took the teacup and drank it all. He knew that with her by his side, his heart was full of strength.

As the night deepened, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya lay side by side on the bed.
