Chapter 481: Avoiding the Question
Gu Yu looked up at Chen Gangping and said, word by word, "She is a very good person, otherwise I wouldn't have given the things to her, would I?"
"You believe her? I admit she went to the Hu tribe for your sake, but now she's getting married to Zhuge Tian, and the two of them are very affectionate."
Although Chen Gangping didn't want to say it this way, he had no choice but to explain the matter to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu looked at him calmly and asked, "What do you think is the reason she married Zhuge Tian?"
"Don't tell me that she married Zhuge Tiancheng to save you," Chen Gangping asked.
"Why not? If I'm not mistaken, she shouldn't have agreed to Zhuge Tian's proposal immediately, but rather changed her mind after some time."
Gu Yu analyzed seriously: "Why would someone suddenly change their mind? Haven't you ever thought about it? Sometimes, what you see isn't necessarily the truth."
"She has her own ideas, and it's obvious she doesn't want others to notice anything or affect her actions. Just do as she says, the sooner the better."
Seeing how much Gu Yu trusted Shang Qing, Chen Gangping became even more puzzled about the relationship between the two, but he didn't ask and just nodded.
Gu Yu glanced at the other side and said, "Alright, you should leave now. This isn't a place for you. You've been here for too long."
"If you stay any longer, it will arouse suspicion. You should leave immediately."
Chen Gangping nodded slightly: "Then I'll be going now. Take care of yourself. Maybe you'll be able to leave here soon."
"I know."
Gu Yu said firmly to Chen Gangping.
Looking at his resolute expression, Chen Gangping was at a loss for words. He felt that Gu Yu trusted Shang Qing, not him.
Regardless of who Gu Yu trusts, as long as he is rescued, that's all that matters; he doesn't care about anything else.
……
After leaving the prison, Chen Gangping sent people to collect the precious chrysanthemum seeds and had them delivered to Shang Qing as quickly as possible.
……
Upon receiving the seeds, Shang Qing planted one herself and took great care of it every day. It sprouted quickly and would bloom in a few days.
When Zhuge Tian came to find her, he saw her taking care of the chrysanthemums very seriously.
"Do you really need to take such meticulous care of these three chrysanthemums every day? Why don't you let someone else look after them?"
Zhuge Tian walked to her side and gently reminded her.
Shang Qing glanced at Zhuge Tian, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Didn't you say the Queen loves chrysanthemums? These chrysanthemums are from the Central Plains."
"Are you sure your Hu people can take good care of this? This is a gift for the Queen, so naturally it has to be the best."
Zhuge Tian shook his head: "Then I'll leave it to you. I still don't understand why you wanted to give the Queen a gift."
"Naturally, it's to get closer to the Queen. That way, maybe she'll be willing to help us because of the gifts we gave her."
Shang Qing smiled slightly and said very seriously.
Zhuge Tian chuckled as he listened to Shang Qing's words. He didn't believe that Shang Qing planted chrysanthemums for that reason.
But since Shang Qing was unwilling to say, he didn't ask. After all, he would soon find out what she was going to do, so there was no rush.
A few days later, all three types of chrysanthemums bloomed, and Shang Qing was very satisfied.
After seeing the chrysanthemums bloom, Shang Qing took the initiative to go to Zhuge Tian and asked him to let her see the Queen.
"You're going to see the Queen? Just to deliver three pots of chrysanthemums?" Zhuge Tian was somewhat puzzled.
"And there are seeds too. Don't you want to discuss matters with the King? We can go together, can't we?"
Upon hearing his words, Shang Qing took the initiative to complete them, and then just looked at him without saying a word.
Zhuge Tian knew that Shang Qing had something to say, so he nodded and took her to see the King and Queen.
……
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Queen."
Zhuge Tian and Shang Qing bowed to the King and Queen together, naturally using the etiquette of the Hu people.
The king looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "It's really strange that you two have come here on your own initiative. Get up, there's no need for such formalities."
Shang Qing and Zhuge Tian stood up at the same time.
The Queen smiled slightly as she looked at Zhuge Tian and Shang Qing. At that moment, she noticed the chrysanthemum placed at Shang Qing's feet and asked with great surprise, "Is that a chrysanthemum at your feet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is indeed chrysanthemums, a gift for Your Majesty, along with seeds. I hope Your Majesty will like them."
Shang Qing handed the seeds in his hand to the maid beside him, speaking very respectfully.
The Queen excitedly stepped down from her seat, and the King naturally followed, but his gaze remained fixed on Shang Qing, his eyes somewhat sharp.
Shang Qing could naturally sense such an obvious gaze, but he deliberately ignored it, instead keeping his eyes fixed on the Queen.
"It's so beautiful! Who planted it? It's so well-cared for, and the color is especially lovely."
The Queen was completely captivated by the chrysanthemums that Shang Qing had brought, and kept praising them.
Chen Gangping found a breed unique to the capital, which the Hu people had never seen before, so the Queen would naturally be happy to see it.
Shang Qing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I planted them myself. I didn't plant them very well, so I only planted one. The rest of the seeds are here."
"If the Queen likes it, she can have other people who know about flowers and trees plant it. They will definitely plant it much better than I can."
The Queen looked at her with great surprise and said with a smile, "So you planted it! That's amazing! Come, let's discuss this chrysanthemum in detail."
With that, the Queen ignored everyone else and grabbed Shang Qing's hand, leading her into the inner room.
Before leaving, Shang Qing took a deep look at Zhuge Tian before following the Queen inside.
As the king watched their retreating figures, he suddenly said with a cryptic tone, "The high priest has married a wise wife who actually thought of catering to her preferences. Impressive."
"Your Majesty is joking. They are just flowers and plants. The Hu people all know that the Queen likes chrysanthemums. They just wanted to give the Queen something she likes. It's very simple."
Zhuge Tian looked up at the king and said calmly.
The king sneered, "Simple? How could you say such a thing? Is she really simple? Only people from the Central Plains could cultivate chrysanthemums like this."
“She is from the Central Plains. Wasn’t her bowing in the Central Plains etiquette? Your Majesty should have realized it long ago,” Zhuge Tian said.
The king narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhuge Tian, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Zhuge Tian said calmly, "Your Majesty, I have state affairs to discuss."
