Traveling through time and space

"Are you qualified to ask this princess? Cai Mengyun is this princess's mother. She has nothing to do with you, absolutely nothing at all. Remember this, Abbot. This princess will only say this once. The remains are only that of this princess's mother. They have nothing to do with anyone else. If anyone pretends to be a relative, just get them kicked out." Looking at the faces in front of her, Gu Yuanyuan became a little angry. Maybe she was too excited and suspicious all of a sudden, and she was a little unsteady.

"Feng Ting, the princess seems unwell. Go ask her if she wants to go to her room and rest for a while," someone whispered. Gu Yuanyuan looked up and saw Feng Ting standing behind her. The person who spoke was a woman standing beside Feng Ting, her eyes slightly red. "I, Lu Nansheng, greet the legitimate princess and the prince."

"Boss Lu, I didn't expect to see you here." Gu Yuanyuan felt her heart pounding, and she pressed her chest.

"Princess, there are guest rooms in the temple. Please go and rest there."

"Princess, I have prepared everything well. You can rest now."

"Don't leave. You can only leave after you have resolved your mother's problem." That arrogant couple from the second wife.

"Madame Shang, take the princess to rest for a while. Princess, I will take care of this matter." Prince De looked at the bent-over princess with heartache and his face turned cold.

"Your Highness, they've repeatedly offended me. Killing them is the right thing to do," Gu Yuanyuan said, feeling relieved. "Abbot, please go to the Luyin River and perform a ritual. I'll be there soon. Mother's remains are gone, but I'd like to build a cenotaph for her so we can all be reunited. Please, Master, chant some sutras so they can ascend to heaven and reunite soon."

"Yes, Princess, this is what we should do."

"Princess, please come and rest with me for a while. You look really bad." Boss Lu stepped forward and bowed.

Gu Yuanyuan was a little puzzled. She had repeatedly invited him to her room. Was there something going on? "Okay, then I'll go and bother you, Madam." Gu Yuanyuan and the others followed Madam Lu to the side room.

"Princess, do you want to go back and ask the imperial physician?" After entering the house, Gu Yuanyuan lay down, followed by a room full of people. Xiao Maozi asked anxiously.

"No need. This princess just needs to rest. It's just that those shameless people from the Cai family are angry. You go and tell the prince to teach them a lesson so that they won't come to cause trouble again and again." Gu Yuanyuan really didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. "You all go down too. I just need to rest for half an hour." Gu Yuanyuan wanted to get everyone away so that she could go to the space to get some more pregnancy-preserving medicine. She forgot about it yesterday.

"Princess, I have prepared a cup of hot tea."

"Okay, Madam Lu, please stay. This princess has something to ask you. You all should go out. You didn't have a good meal this morning. Let the temple prepare some breakfast for the prince and you."

Everyone bowed and left. "Feng Ting, you should also leave. There are some things you are not suitable to hear."

Feng Ting bowed and left. "Madam, do you have anything to say to me?" Gu Yuanyuan asked, trying hard to calm herself down so as not to affect the baby in her belly.

"I want to thank the princess on behalf of my deceased mother Feng Ting for taking care of the three Ge siblings. I know the princess is a good person. I've been doing business for so many years and I'm tired. I want to recommend myself to the princess. I'm willing to follow her and serve her for the rest of my life."

"Boss Lu, why is this?"

"I once had a son and a daughter, but I never expected that my husband would die in an accident on the day I gave birth to my son. My mother-in-law secretly took the two children away at night. After searching for them locally for two years, I had no choice but to return to the capital alone and find a job to make a living until today."

"Boss Lu is from Beijing? Where is her husband's family from? Haven't those two children been found yet?"

"I am from the capital. Princess, I'm sure you remember that Feng Ting's mother once said that we both knew your mother, but our family fell into poverty. After I followed my husband back to Feng Yan, my parents became ill from longing for me and both passed away. After I returned, I had no choice but to resume my old job to support myself."

"Is Boss Lu really a close friend of this princess's mother?" Gu Yuanyuan sat up carefully.

"Yes, Princess, I am really Sister Mengyun's friend. I have been living a miserable life these past few years and I am really tired. I only have two friends, Fengting's mother and Princess' mother. I want to stay by your side and take good care of you on behalf of your mothers. I beg Princess to give me this opportunity so that I can give them an explanation when I meet them in the future. I am taking good care of their children."

"Boss Lu, you said you were my mother's friend, but just now outside, in front of those people from the Cai family, why didn't they recognize you?"

"To answer your question, Princess, I come from a humble family, so it's understandable that those people don't recognize me. When I was ten, the Cai family moved. If your surname isn't mine, you can ask the Cai family if there was a family named Lu next to their old house when they were young. The Lu family only has one daughter, who was born in the same year and month as Sister Mengyun. Her name is Hao Siyan, and her nickname is Yanyan. She has been friends with Sister Mengyun since childhood. Oh, and Sister Mengyun's birthday is only three days older than mine."

"Your last name is Hao? Then why do people call you Madam Lu?"

"My husband's surname is Lu. I've always wondered if my two children could find their way back to the capital, so I've been using my husband's surname."

"You are also a pitiful woman. It's just that you want to come to me, but I don't dare to believe you. After all, I don't know you. If one day you betray me, I won't be able to find your grave to cry. After all, you are just her friend, not my friend." Gu Yuanyuan is not stupid. She knows that she didn't tell the truth. She knows it in her heart.

"Princess, I am willing to stay by your side for the rest of my life," she suddenly knelt down, and Gu Yuanyuan's heart beat faster.

"Madam Lu, I will call you that for now. I need to reconsider this matter. After all, this is not a trivial matter. It concerns my personal safety and the safety of my unborn child."

"Is the princess awake?" There was a knock on the door.

"Dongmei, come in." Gu Yuanyuan stood up and Dongmei and others walked in.

"Aunt Lu, what's wrong with you?" Feng Ting also came in.

"Aunt Lu is tired and wants a peaceful life. Aunt Lu is willing to sell herself and asks the princess to accept Aunt Lu into the princess's palace to work."

"Aunt Lu," Feng Ting was about to step forward to speak when she heard a sound and turned around to look, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Meet the princess," said the eldest brother of the Cai family. "Princess, your aunt is here."

"Okay, let's go together to see her off for the last time." Gu Yuanyuan got up and went out, thinking for a while, "Madam Lu, since you are familiar with the Cai family, it's a good opportunity for you to go together." Gu Yuanyuan called Madam Lu. Whether it was true or not, they would have to wait and see.

"Greetings, Princess. Greetings, Prince." Gu Yuanyuan was a little curious about how the prince dealt with the people from the Cai family because she didn't see them.

"Since my aunt is here, let's go and see her off for the last time," Gu Yuanyuan walked straight forward when she saw Cai Baifeng, her mother and son, and the couple from the fourth room.

"Yan Yan greets Sister Bai Feng." Madam Lu stepped forward and bowed to her aunt.

"Aren't you Mrs. Lu Nansheng, the owner of Nansheng Embroidery Workshop?"

"Sister Bai Feng, Lu Nansheng is the name of Yanyan's son and daughter, and Lu is the surname of my deceased husband."

"Which Yanyan are you?"

"Sister Bai Feng, when I was a child, I was Hao Siyan from the Hao family who lived next to your old house. My nickname was Yanyan, and my father's name was Hao Youya."

"Are you Uncle Hao's child? Didn't you get married and go to Fengyan? I ran into Aunt Hao on the street once, and she said you left with a man and had a falling out with your family. Not long after, I heard from Mengyun that they were all dead. What are you doing..."

"Sister Bai Feng, it's hard to explain in a few words. Let's talk to each other another day." Before getting on the car, Gu Yuanyuan was eavesdropping on their conversation very seriously.

"What does the prince think of this woman?" Gu Yuanyuan sat down and the car started moving.

"Isn't the princess able to read minds? Can't you see that?"

"Your Highness, mind reading isn't like being in the other person's stomach. It's simply careful observation. By observing their eyes, their words, their mannerisms, and even their gestures, you can guess their mental activities. For example, right now, Your Highness is looking down on the mind reading I'm talking about. Am I right?"

"From what I have seen, she actually sincerely wants to join your princess."

"I know that she has an unspeakable secret in her heart, and I don't feel any ill will towards me from her. Your Highness, how are you going to deal with those people from the Cai family?" Gu Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"They were taken to kneel before Grandmother Su's grave.

"Okay, this princess is also planning to put an end to them in front of my grandmother's grave. Although I am a princess, it is disgusting that I have been showing up like this for all these years." Gu Yuanyuan didn't mind whether they were related or not. What she cared about was that if you treat me well, I will treat you well too. She couldn't blindly please others and sacrifice others, not even the so-called elders. Moreover, she herself had nothing to do with them. She just had to live happily in the future, and no one should morally blackmail her. The ceremony went very smoothly. Gu Yuanyuan put the two pieces of clothes she brought with her into the coffin and made a cenotaph. With the support of Dongmei, she knelt down sincerely. "Mother, may you be reunited with your grandmother and your family in paradise. From today on, Yuanyuan will send you away completely. Yuanyuan will live a good life in the future and raise her own children. May your spirit in heaven bless us mother and children with a safe life." Gu Yuanyuan kowtowed three times sincerely.

"Princess, your mother will be very happy that she has been reunited with her mother."

"Yes, aunt, we must live a good life from now on."

My aunt nodded and said, "I know that those people from the Cai family have treated you very badly over the years."

"Aunt, are you trying to plead for them? It's a pity that my mother didn't hear them. They were the ones who insulted Ruge and called me a bitch and a bastard."

"No, I'm not pleading for them. Over the years, I've grown to hate them and can imagine their faces. What I want to say is that even if your mother were still alive, she would want you to live your life well. There's no need to pay attention to anything else."

"Okay, Yuanyuan thanks aunt for your understanding, but these people are not satisfied. This princess has let them go time and time again, but they come to make trouble again and again. If one day, the emperor comes to deal with them, I am afraid he will not deal with them in the same way as this princess. That would be a matter of life and death. Now my second brother has also won the third place in the imperial examination. If they keep making trouble like this, the Cai family will never get ahead." Gu Yuanyuan left her mother's grave and came to the front of the group of people.

"Princess, your second and third uncles didn't do anything wrong. They just said a few things they shouldn't have said. Please be magnanimous and let them go."

"Yes, Princess, we are all family. Even if our bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Second uncle will not say such things again in the future." Cai Debao still spoke with a playful smile.

"Little Maozi, hit him first and talk later," Gu Yuanyuan called to him. He stepped forward and attacked with arrows. "This princess will say this one last time in front of my deceased grandmother and mother: I have nothing to do with you. If you use my name to say anything next time, that will be the day you die."

"Princess, we are your elders."

"Yes, we are your mother's family."

"It's no big deal. We'll be more careful next time."

"Madam Cai San, I heard that the Sixth Prince's concubine gave birth to a daughter. I'm afraid she's not having a good time in the palace. Tell me, if I tell the Emperor in detail how your Cai family has treated me over the years, how long do you and your daughter think you can survive? Do you think you can just threaten me with my status as a legitimate princess?"

"Your subordinate greets the princess." Unexpectedly, Lu Xianghong and Ma Biao came with the palace soldiers.

"Deputy Commander Lu, send these people home. Also, remember, if they approach the Princess's residence again, drive them away directly or do nothing else."

"Princess, what do you mean by 'don't take any other action'?" Ma Biao asked, somewhat confused.

"What I mean is that if there was a conflict at the gate of the mansion, you can just kill them directly. Some people in the Cai family deserve to die for humiliating the princess." Gu Yuanyuan suppressed her laughter.

"Princess, it's time to go home."
