"She has already left. The people in the princess's mansion are her substitutes."
Lu Ruoyu frowned and sighed slightly. She had to say that the eldest princess's method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was really brilliant.
They were all deceived, no wonder the An Pavilion stared at the Xianwang Mansion until they almost made a hole in it, but they didn't reveal a single flaw.
It turns out that the wise king is not a chess player.
"As expected, where is she now? Shun'an Prefecture or Beizhou?"
Song Jinshu's heart skipped a beat. If this happened in Shun'an Prefecture, something terrible would have happened.
She is like meat on someone else's chopping board, and this piece of meat will be eaten at any time.
"In Beizhou, Shun'an Prefecture is actually the emperor's territory." Lu Ruoyu's clear and cold voice sounded, but Song Jinshu was not happy.
She stared at Lu Ruoyu and asked, "Ruoyu, tell me the truth, do you have other sockpuppet names that I don't know about?"
"Vest? What is Jinshu?" Lu Ruoyu blinked innocently, not understanding why she was angry.
"The vest is another identity that I don't know about. Don't hide it from me. You're the one who keeps calling yourself the emperor and the princess. If you didn't have a vest, how could you be so familiar with the affairs of the court?"
Even she, who knew everything, didn't understand it as thoroughly as he did.
Lu Ruoyu's face froze. He had said too much. Thinking that he would be leaving here soon, he might as well explain everything to her so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Did you know there's a Marquis Wen'an in Kyoto? He saved the Emperor's life when he was young, but he became ill because of it and has been missing ever since. Later, when the Emperor ascended the throne, he was given the title of Marquis Wending."
Song Jinshu frantically collected information, but unfortunately she was a time traveler, and the original owner also moved from one Kaka nest to another.
She only knew one or two of the powerful people in Kyoto, and had no impression of the others.
Not to mention Marquis Wen Ding, who rarely appears in public.
"So you are saying that you are the Marquis Wen Ding?" Song Jinshu said calmly.
Lu Ruoyu nodded silently, looking at the person opposite with a glimmer in her eyes.
"Are you angry? Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but ever since I decided to leave Kyoto, I've given up this identity."
"So what now? Tell me honestly, you want this identity back. Have you decided to leave Jingyang County too? Leave me... us?"
These words were filled with a hint of anger and a bit of reluctance, and Song Jinshu tried hard to hold back her tears.
When Shen Fenghua left before, she was reluctant but respectful.
But the person she believed in her heart would always accompany her to protect Jingyang County had to leave at this time.
After going through so much together, how could I not feel pain when I suddenly heard that he was leaving? How could I not feel pain?
This friendship has already crossed the line without us realizing it.
Song Jinshu turned away, unwilling to look at Lu Ruoyu, fearing that he would be left behind and laughed at by him.
"My uncle is back! I'll go see him first."
After saying that, he left without looking back...
Lu Ruoyu felt depressed and his eyes were deep. After three years of living together, he was reluctant to leave.
But separation is for a better encounter, and only by leaving here can she live a peaceful life.
A long sigh was left behind.
The next few days were as quiet as usual. Song Jinshu took a tour as usual. When he was bored, he would go to the teahouse to listen to books, or go to the county school and academy to check on the learning progress.
He was originally the most idle person, but he forced himself to become the busiest person.
Lu Ruoyu was not idle either. Before leaving, he found someone who could be used in the county government and silently handed over the official business to him.
There are many things to do and they are complicated. Everyone has the same responsibilities and needs to stamp or seek opinions.
Since they couldn't make a decision, they asked him to find Xiao Jianqing, and after getting a solution, they would give it to Song Jinshu for review and stamp.
Time passed slowly in the process, until one morning, Lu Ruoyu found Song Jinshu.
The cold figure carried a hint of melancholy. Song Jinshu pursed her lips, feeling sad in her heart, and walked closer reluctantly.
"County Magistrate Lu heard that you were looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ruoyu turned around, still smiling gently, and said softly, "I heard that the fruit trees at the river mouth are bearing fruit. Jinshu, would you like to pick one with me?"
The fruit was sour and astringent, not very delicious. Song Jinshu knew that he must have come to say goodbye.
Although he was very reluctant and unhappy in his heart, he still nodded and agreed: "Okay! I can't drive the car!"
"I come."
When he saw the old ox riding on the familiar cart, Song Jinshu curled his lips and looked at Lu Ruoyu with resentment.
"It's wrong to mistreat old cows!"
Then she got on the ox cart silently, leaving space for Lu Ruoyu to drive.
Lu Ruoyu smiled gently and drove for her just like she did before.
Along the way, Lu Ruoyu seemed to have endless things to say, and every word and sentence was an explanation. Song Jinshu listened silently.
It's really hard for him. He is such a quiet person, but he can say a whole year's worth of words in just one day.
Soon they arrived at the upper end of the river dam, and the dam in front of them collapsed, and the river water flowed into the extended water channel.
She was worried that the dam would break down in the middle of the night, so she knocked on his door late at night and asked him to come here with her to disperse the people.
Three years have passed since then...
There was also nostalgia in Lu Ruoyu's eyes. At that time, had he ever imagined that Jingyang County would be in its current situation?
All these changes seemed to be brought about by the woman beside him.
"Jinshu, this journey may take one or two years, or even longer, or maybe..."
There was a possibility that he would die outside and they would never see each other again. He didn't want to say anything discouraging and kept it secretly in his heart.
Song Jinshu's eyes were moist. When the cold wind blew, he was surprised to find that his face was extremely cold. When he touched it again, he was already in tears.
She turned her head away from Lu Ruoyu and let him nag.
"...And the warm jade I gave you. Remember to keep it safe. If you encounter any difficulties, go to the Fulai Inn. They are part of the forces I have cultivated there, and they will protect you."
"With the Warm Jade, you can withdraw all the property in my name. If I can't come back, these people will worship you as their master..."
Song Jinshu didn't dare to listen any further and shouted, "Stop talking! Didn't you bring me here to pick fruit? Why are you saying all this? I don't like a single word of it!"
"And your stinking silver, I don't want it. I have more money than I can spend. There's no need to use yours. You can keep it for your retirement!"
By the end of her speech, Song Jinshu was in tears. She knew in her heart that Lu Ruoyu must be going to Beizhou to deal with the affairs of the Princess and the Xian King.
The eldest princess has been planning for many years, and her power has long been expanded to an unknown extent. It will definitely be dangerous for them to go there.
Seeing her crying, Lu Ruoyu felt as if a needle was piercing his heart. He no longer cared about etiquette and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, I might have to break my promise."
From now on, I won’t be able to accompany you for walks, I won’t be able to get up early to buy you your favorite meals, and I won’t be able to help you with official chores.
Hearing this, Song Jinshu became furious and bit her. Lu Ruoyu felt a pain in her shoulder, but she let her vent.
