Chapter 547 I Really Don’t Want to Stay in Beijing

Several people sat down in the inn. Gu Shouxian stayed by Shu Yinghe's side seriously, greeting her gently and caringly, and taking care of her very attentively.

This made Zhong Xuzhi, who was watching from the side, feel very disappointed.

As he was traveling with them, he naturally knew what kind of person this old marquis, who was formerly good for nothing, was, but now he was so good to the Shu family.

The most important thing is that the Shu family will respond.

And myself!

Looking at the little junior sister who looked tired but still sitting there with her back supported, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart when he thought of how he had been waiting for her all these years.

Zhong Xuzhi stood up and asked the servant for a pot of wine. He took a stool and sat in the yard. He sat there alone and slowly drank the wine.

The servants borrowed the kitchen of the post station, prepared the meal, and called all the masters.

Several masters sat down to eat. The inn faced north and south, but the room was not in a very good position, so from where they were eating, they could look up and see the moon rising in the east.

In this deep mountain forest, everything was quiet, and the moon rising in the distance cast some silver-gray.

Xie Qingrou suddenly looked up at the moon, not knowing what she was thinking.

But that night, Shu Yinghe still fell ill.

She lived in the same room with Xie Qingrou, who was suffering from insomnia and couldn't sleep, while Shu Yinghe's moans in the middle of the night showed that she was not feeling well.

Xie Qingrou got up to take a look, and when she reached out her hand she found that Shu Yinghe was very hot.

Xie Qingrou hurriedly called out:

"Yinghe? Yinghe?"

Shu Yinghe slowly opened her eyes and said weakly:

"Thank you, sister. I have a headache."

Xie Qingrou immediately called Qingyu and others who lived in the outer room, and soon everyone knew that Shu Yinghe was sick.

Gu Shouxian was even more anxious because Xie Qingrou was also living in the room and it was not convenient for him to go in, but he kept pacing back and forth at the door.

One of their secret guards also rode forward at night to report the news to his master first.

So, when it was almost dawn, Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi received the news that their mother was sick at the post station.

Gu Ruoxi became anxious immediately.

He and Nangong Yu went out immediately, taking Qingyi with them, and rushed to the post station.

Gu Ruoxi and Nangong Yu rushed over from the woods. It was just daybreak and when the servants were still cooking breakfast, Gu Ruoxi and Nangong Yu hurried into the post station.

Seeing that the two of them had arrived so early, Gu Shouxian stepped forward with red eyes:

"Xi'er, your mother has a high fever. There is no doctor here, I..."

Gu Ruoxi looked at his anxious expression and said hurriedly:

"Have you forgotten? I learned medicine from Old Lady Yang. I'll go and take a look."

"Yes, yes, Xi'er, go see your mother. You...did you come here on horseback with such a big belly? You can't ride a horse!"

Well, he wanted to care about Shu Yinghe and his daughter at the same time, and he was worried about both.

Gu Ruoxi went straight into the house. Xie Qingrou hurriedly pulled her along:

"Your mother had a fever in the middle of the night. It's all my fault. I rushed her to travel these past two days. She might not be able to adapt. Xi'er, go and take a look."

When Gu Ruoxi saw that Xie Qingrou's face was not looking good, she knew that she had been tired along the way, and now she was worried about Shu Yinghe's health.

"Mom, don't worry."

While speaking, she reached out and directly grabbed Xie Qingrou's wrist and started to input spiritual energy into her.

Xie Qingrou felt a warm feeling seem to go up her arm into her body. This was not the first time that Gu Ruoxi used her spiritual energy to care for her body.

She had always thought it was a kind of qigong as described by martial artists:

"Xi'er, don't worry about me, go and see your mother."

She was afraid that Gu Ruoxi would use this good thing on herself and fail to take good care of Shu Yinghe.

But Gu Ruoxi held her with one hand and put the other hand on Shu Yinghe's wrist. To others, it seemed that she was taking her pulse.

Gu Ruoxi slowly input the spiritual energy in, and slowly cleaned up Shu Yinghe's body.

Slowly, Shu Yinghe felt better.

said softly

"Xi'er, you shouldn't have come. Mom is sick. You should stay away. You are pregnant now, so you need to take care of your health."

Gu Ruoxi only hummed, and once again mobilized her spiritual energy, she let go of Xie Qingrou's hand, grabbed one of Shu Yinghe's hands with each hand, and then slowly injected it into Shu Yinghe's body.

After two rounds, Shu Yinghe felt much more relaxed.

I feel better too.

Gu Ruoxi also stood up:

"Mom, you've worked hard on this journey. You don't have to hurry. But the journey is only half a day, so don't worry."

"It's nothing serious, I'm just tired. Mom, get up and eat something. Let's go inside from here. The road is not far, but it's a bit bumpy."

With Ruyue's help, Shu Yinghe dressed and washed up and finally came out. Gu Shouxian had been waiting at the door and was relieved only when he saw her come out.

"Do you feel better now?"

He still took a step forward and asked worriedly, stretched out his hand to push Ruyue away, and supported Shu Yinghe himself.

Gu Ruoxi, who was walking behind, was stunned for a moment and looked at Xie Qingrou beside her.

She didn't open her mouth, but Xie Qingrou followed her gaze and understood what she was asking.

Xie Qingrou gently patted Gu Ruoxi's hand, with a gentle smile that contained three parts of teasing and three parts of envy.

"Your father has been taking care of your mother with his heart all the way."

Gu Ruoxi glanced at Gu Shouxian lightly and snorted lightly, but didn't say anything. As a person who came from the end of the world, she naturally accepted remarriage. No, this is not remarriage, but remarriage, right?

It doesn't seem like they are remarrying, it seems like they are not married? It's just that they had me before marriage.

When they returned to the front room, the servants had already prepared breakfast and were waiting for them to sit down.

Qingyi and the secret guards who rode on horses had just arrived at this time. The servants took care of the masters to have breakfast, then packed up these things and tied up the carriage.

This time, they had quite a lot of carriages, more than twenty of them, all loaded with supplies.

When they got on the carriage again, Gu Ruoxi and her two mothers were sitting in the same carriage, with Nangong Yu riding a horse to protect them.

Gu Shouxian and Zhong Xuzhi followed behind on horseback.

This time, they arrived in Quincy around noon.

When getting off the carriage, Gu Shouxian stood by the carriage early, and when he saw Shu Yinghe getting off, he reached out to help her. He didn't even notice that his daughter Gu Ruoxi was following behind Shu Yinghe.

Shu Yinghe wanted to reach back to help her daughter. Gu Shouxian pulled her back:

"I have a son-in-law."

Nangong Yu, who was called the son-in-law, glanced at him lightly without saying a word, but took a step forward and took Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi stood up. He held Gu Ruoxi with one hand and tried to support his mother with the other hand when a light cough came from behind him.

I turned around and saw Zhong Xuzhi, who was also going through a psychological struggle along the way.

He liked Xie Qingrou, but he felt that he was a scholar and could not behave in a rude manner, especially because Xie Qingrou was also a woman who grew up with a cultured education.

He was afraid that if his actions crossed the line, it would make Xie Qingrou uncomfortable.

But along the way, he saw with his own eyes that Gu Shouxian really disregarded other people's opinions and carefully cared for Shu Yinghe, and he was really jealous.

After struggling for several days, he finally figured it out. Sister Xie is now a daughter who has returned home. She can remarry on her own. And he is now with her in this remote place, so he doesn't need to care so much about other people's eyes. Life is only a few decades long, and every day they can spend together is precious.

So, he also wanted to help Xie Qingrou get off the carriage.

His cough caused Nangong Yu's outstretched hand to be pulled back by Gu Ruoxi.

Nangong Yu turned around and glared at the junior master-master, but still listened to Gu Ruoxi and took Gu Ruoxi's hand and went into the house first.

They walked away. Qingyu originally wanted to go forward to help Xie Qingrou, but Qingqiu reached out and grabbed Qingyu, and directly pulled her to watch the carriage behind unloading the goods.

Zhong Xuzhi took a step forward, without saying anything, and just raised his hand.

Xie Qingrou was very calm in front of everyone, but she was a little flustered in her heart. However, she still reached out her hand and placed it on Zhong Xuzhi's hand before getting off the carriage.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she withdrew her hand and walked quickly towards the gate.

Zhong Xuzhi was left with gently stroking his fingers, feeling the soft touch on his hands just now.

He looked down at his empty hands, and although he felt a little disappointed, his ears were slightly red and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

In the mansion here, after Jiuxi and Qingqiu had a brief discussion and reported to Xie Qingrou, the courtyard was divided up.

Then everyone started to get busy. More than 20 carts of things had to be put back in place one by one, and all the necessary items had to be equipped in each master's courtyard.

That afternoon, not only the servants were busy, but all the masters were busy as well.

They brought so many things that one warehouse was not enough, so they opened another one.

After cleaning up, it was time for dinner. Everyone felt a little tired, so they went to rest after dinner.

Gu Ruoxi and Nangong Yu discussed family matters, and then asked Qingyi and the others to guard the town while he and Gu Ruoxi went into the forest behind.

"Xi'er, you are not feeling well. Will this affect the baby?"

Nangong Yu still looked at Gu Ruoxi with some worry, and Gu Ruoxi shook her head and said:

"No, feel him, he's very happy, dancing with joy."

Gu Ruoxi reached out and grabbed Nangong Yu's hand and put it on her belly. The day before yesterday, she found that the child moved and kicked her.

It moved again just now, so she pulled Nangong Yu's hand to touch it. Unexpectedly, when she touched it, she happened to touch the little guy and kicked out again, which scared Nangong Yu:

"He...he can move?"

Gu Ruoxi was also surprised:

"Of course he moves. He's growing up."

Nangong Yu suddenly reached out and hugged Gu Ruoxi, his voice choked up:

"Does it hurt? Xi'er, he kicked you, does it hurt? What should I do? I will beat him up next time."

Nangong Yu was indeed frightened. He didn't expect that the child would move like this and kick the mother while growing in the mother's belly.

Just imagine if someone kicked you in the stomach, it would definitely hurt.

Gu Ruoxi paused for a moment, then realized why Nangong Yu was choking up, and laughed:

"No, it doesn't hurt, really. It's just that it's a little uncomfortable when he moves. I asked mom, and she said that every child moves in her belly."

Nangong Yu reached out and touched it again:

"really?"

"Really, he's still little now. But you can talk to him and he can hear you."

Nangong Yu squatted down and put his ear against Gu Ruoxi's belly:

"Baby, I...I'm your father, please stop kicking your mother. She's not feeling well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a kick on the face, right in the face.

Gu Ruoxi laughed even more. Nangong Yu reached out and gently pressed the part of Gu Ruoxi's belly that he had kicked just now, as a reminder to the baby in her belly.

Gu Ruoxi took Nangong Yu and flew through the forest. Wherever she passed, leaves and grass all ran in her direction.

Gu Ruoxi told Nangong Yu:

"look here."

Where she pointed, there was a hole, neither big nor small, covered with grass hanging down. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it.

"This can also lead to the underground palace."

The place they circled around:

"The circle we just surrounded is the territory of the underground palace."

Nangong Yu nodded secretly:

"Still not small."

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said:

"Yes, it's not small, so I was wondering if we could use it in the future."

Nangong Yu smiled:

"You want to live underground?"

Nangong Yu followed Gu Ruoxi and stood on the branch of a tree, looking at the deep forest in the distance:

"I was thinking about building a house in this forest. From now on, we can live in this forest and they won't dare to come in and look for us."

Gu Ruoxi turned her head:

"Really? Are you really willing to give up your official position in the capital and live with me in this forest?"

Nangong Yu nodded and said:

"Being an official is not fun. It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This is true. Even if you do a good job, the emperor may not be satisfied with your work. If one day, you are implicated in something, you will be beheaded."

"It would be so nice to fly around freely in the mountains and forests with you."

Gu Ruoxi smiled, but also knew that this was unlikely to be possible in the near future.

After patrolling all night, Gu Ruoxi came back at dawn and checked Shu Yinghe's body again before dinner and found that there was no problem.

After Xie Qingrou came, someone started to take care of the backyard affairs. Gu Ruoxi wished someone would take over these trivial matters.

Xie Qingrou took Shu Yinghe and started to set up new accounts, and began to record all the matters in this newly opened mansion.

Qingqiu had worked as the eunuch in the Marquis's mansion for some time, so naturally he knew how to keep and settle accounts.

Helped direct the servants to put all the classified items into the warehouse.

On the other side, Prince Ning, Gu Jingchun and others waited for the imperial edict sent by the emperor.

This time, Prince Ning and Nangong Xia were sent with 20,000 soldiers to enter Quincy Town.

When they got there, Nangong Yu was in charge of the overall command. The Emperor had a new decree for Nangong Yu.

After receiving the order, Prince Ning and others immediately ordered their troops to enter Quincy Town.
