Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

"How about I take you away from here?"

Shang Qing's words were startling.

The Queen was taken aback by Shang Qing's words and looked at her in surprise: "What did you say?"

Shang Qing didn't expect the Queen to react so strongly, but she still said, "I said, I'll take you away from here. I'm serious, I'm not joking."

The queen had been imprisoned in the palace and knew nothing about the outside world, so she was somewhat timid and did not immediately agree.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Didn't you say you were looking for a place to grow chrysanthemums? Have you found a place yet?"

The Queen looked at Shang Qing and asked.

Shang Qing originally wanted to continue persuading the Queen, but at this moment, the King's voice suddenly rang out.

"So it was you two here. We've been looking for you for ages. What are you two talking about? You seem to be having a bad time."

The king brought Zhuge Tian to Shang Qing and the queen and said softly.

Shang Qing turned around and saw the king. He bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The queen trembled when she heard the king's voice, but she still turned around and saw him. She smiled slightly and nodded to him.

With a smile on his face, the king walked directly to the queen, took her hand, and asked with a laugh, "Why didn't you rest in the palace? Why did you come out?"

"Didn't she take a lot of chrysanthemum seeds? I felt it wasn't good to just leave them there, so I wanted to find a place to plant them so that someone could take care of them."

The queen smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips.

The king recalled the chrysanthemums that Shang Qing had brought earlier, which were indeed very beautiful. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you like them, then plant them in the courtyard of your palace, so that you can see them often."

"Your Majesty is right. I will arrange for people to plant the chrysanthemum seeds now, so that I can take good care of them."

Upon hearing the king's words, the queen feigned delight and said...

Zhuge Tian and Shang Qing felt somewhat awkward standing there, listening to the conversation between the King and Queen.

The two exchanged a glance, and finally Zhuge Tian spoke first: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we shall take our leave now."

"Alright, you've been out for quite a while now. Go back quickly. Thank you so much for bringing me the chrysanthemums and seeds, I really like them."

The Queen looked at Shang Qing and said softly.

"The most important thing is that the Queen likes it," Shang Qing said.

After speaking with the King and Queen, Zhuge Tian and Shang Qing left.

Before leaving, Shang Qing took a deep look at the Queen. She could see the Queen's wavering and was confident that the Queen would contact her again.

After the two left, Zhuge Tian asked, "What did you say to the Queen? Why did the Queen look at you strangely before you left?"

"This is a good thing for us, so don't worry about it. I'll let you know once I have confirmation."

Shang Qing did not tell him what he and the Queen had said.

Seeing that Shang Qing was unwilling to say more, he didn't need to ask any further; he would find out eventually.

……

Things were proceeding at a leisurely pace here, but the emperor of the Central Plains was getting impatient. He had not yet seen Zhuge Tian and was gradually becoming restless.

"There's still no news. I don't have time to wait. Guards!" The Emperor said through gritted teeth, barely suppressing his anger.

Soon someone rushed in, knelt down, and bowed to the Emperor: "Your Majesty."

"How is Gu Yu now?" the Emperor asked with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, Gu Yu is currently in the Dali Temple prison. He denies the accusation of treason and betrayal, and has already been tortured."

The man knelt on the ground and earnestly reported his findings.

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and sneered, "Since you won't admit it, then just kill him. There's no need to keep him alive."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the man looked up at the Emperor in disbelief, then remained kneeling on the ground, motionless for a long time.

Seeing that the person kneeling on the ground did not move, the Emperor frowned slightly: "What? Can't I give you any orders? Didn't you hear what I just said clearly?"

"Your Majesty, I have heard you clearly, but Gu Yu is, after all, a general. Wouldn't it be too hasty to execute him like this?"

The Emperor sneered: "What do you mean by hasty? Gu Yu is a traitor who betrayed the country. Such a person should be executed. I have already let him live a little longer. He should be grateful."

"Go now, don't make me say any more. I want to see Gu Yu's head."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the emperor's order, the man quickly left.

……

The Dali Temple quickly received the news that the jailers were to secretly take Gu Yu away and kill him. However, the jailer who had been bribed by Chen Gangping saw through the scheme and quickly informed Chen Gangping.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Gangping was very anxious: "What? Gu Yu is to be executed? How could it be so soon? Is this an order from the Emperor?"

"It must be that the jailer noticed something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. He just told us to be prepared in case of emergency."

The trusted soldier looked at Chen Gang and said calmly.

After hearing what his trusted soldier said, Chen Gangping disregarded everything else and was about to rush out.

Seeing Chen Gangping leave, his trusted soldier followed behind and asked, "General, where are you going? What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to lead a team to storm into the prison and rescue Gu Yu," Chen Gangping said earnestly.

The trusted soldier looked at him in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment, and could only follow behind him.

Fortunately, the strategist Li, who had just arrived, appeared. Seeing Chen Gangping's anxious state, she calmly said, "General, do you intend to rush to rescue him?"

"Yes, strategist, I know what you want to say, but you all know about my relationship with Gu Yu. I can't just ignore him. This time, I have to go and save him."

When Chen Gangping met the strategist, he spoke without thinking, knowing that the strategist would try to stop him, so he simply stated his intentions directly.

Li glanced at Chen Gangping indifferently and asked softly, "When did I say I would stop you from rescuing Gu Yu?"

Hearing this, Chen Gangping was somewhat taken aback. He looked at Li Shi in shock and asked, "So, does the strategist mean he agrees to let me go and rescue him?"

“You should go and save people, but you can’t be so reckless. If you go like this, you’re just giving them leverage. They’ve been looking for something to use against Gu Yu.”

The strategist analyzed, "They will be very happy if you send it to them like this."

Chen Gangping lowered his head slightly. He knew that his reaction just now was a bit too hasty, but he was worried about what would happen if Gu Yu encountered danger if he arrived a step later.

"Everyone has seen what kind of person General Gu Yu is. He would never do anything to betray the country or collude with the enemy. However, he would not want you to be in danger because of him."

Li looked up at Gu Yu and offered a reminder.
