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

After bowing to the people, Gu Yu entered the mansion, and then closed the gate, cutting off the people's view of Gu Yu.

When Gu Yu returned to his residence, the people lined the streets to welcome him, and the emperor kept this in mind.

……

Shang Qing also learned about Gu Yu's release. After learning this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the fire was really an accident, Gu Yu had still seized the opportunity.

When Zhuge Tian came to find Shang Qing, he saw that Shang Qing was completely different from before, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"It seems you know that Gu Yu has been released. Do you still need my help?"

Zhuge Tian sat down opposite Shang Qing, looked up at Shang Qing, and asked softly.

Shang Qing smiled slightly: "Of course it's necessary. Although he has been released, the matter of him colluding with the enemy and betraying the country has not been resolved yet, and this matter is also related to you, isn't it?"

"Do you think Gu Yu is a member of the Hu tribe? If he really is, I would be very happy."

Zhuge Tian looked at Shang Qing very seriously and spoke word by word.

Shang Qing was very puzzled: "You're happy? Don't forget, you two are rivals, how could you possibly be happy?"

"You can tell from this that you don't understand what we're thinking. Meeting a worthy opponent is the most exciting thing. If we're opponents, then naturally we should have a match."

Zhuge Tian smiled and said, "But if we are allies, we will definitely become friends. If Gu Yu is really a Hu person, then the two of us joining forces will definitely be invincible."

"The people will love and respect him very much, and then the Central Plains will surely be ours."

Shang Qing smiled and said, "It's a pity that you two are rivals. The people of the Hu tribe love you, and the people of the Central Plains also love him, because he is the God of War of the Central Plains."

The two were having a great conversation when someone suddenly came and said that someone had come to deliver something to Shang Qing.

The man placed the box on the table and then left.

"It's quite unexpected that someone from the Hu tribe would send you something," Zhuge Tian said, looking at Shang Qing.

Upon hearing his words, Shang Qing's lips curled up slightly: "High Priest, I know what you want to say, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you for now."

In fact, Shang Qing had already guessed who it was, but he still needed to confirm it.

Shang Qing picked up the gift that had been given to her. Inside was a box of jewelry and a note. As she had guessed, it was indeed a message from the Queen.

Seeing the smile on Shang Qing's face, Zhuge Tian was about to ask her something when he saw her close the box, get up and walk outside.

"High Priest, I have something to attend to, I'll be back soon."

After Shang Qing finished speaking, she walked outside. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Zhuge Tian and said, "Please rest assured, High Priest, it will definitely be something that benefits you."

……

When Shang Qing entered the palace and saw her, the Queen quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, leading her towards her own palace.

The two chatted amiably. The Queen was not accompanied by anyone else. Shang Qing said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you summoned me to the palace, surely not just to chat with me?"

The Queen looked at Shang Qing and nodded: "It certainly wasn't for chatting."

As she spoke, the queen lowered her head. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head again, her eyes showing a newfound determination.

Upon seeing the queen in this state, Shang Qing instantly understood what she wanted to do, but she wanted the queen to say it herself.

"I agree to your last suggestion; I'm going to leave with you."

The Queen held Shang Qing's hand tightly and spoke very seriously.

Shang Qing looked at the Queen and asked seriously again, "Your Majesty, you need to think this through. If I take you away, it means you have to give up your current identity."

"You are the queen of the Hu tribe, second only to the king, and you will enjoy endless riches and honors."

“I don’t want these things. Maybe these things are honey to others, but to me they are poison. I wouldn’t be able to live.”

The queen said excitedly, "I would rather live an ordinary life. Here, it's worse than death."

After saying that, she looked at Shang Qing and asked somewhat fearfully, "Are you unwilling to help me anymore? Are you unwilling to take me away? I can help you."

"As long as you are willing to take me away, I can explain to Gu Yu in the name of the King before we leave. You can trust me."

Shang Qing was shocked that the Queen would say such a thing in order to escape. She looked at her in astonishment and asked, "What did you say? You can help me in the King's name? How will you help me?"

"This matter is none of your business. Just tell me if you want to take me away. This is my way of showing you my sincerity by taking me away."

The Queen held Shang Qing's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would not want to leave with her.

For Shang Qing, if Gu Yu's matter could be resolved simply, then a simple solution would be best. She nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"If you can help Gu Yu explain things clearly, I will take you away from here."

Hearing Shang Qing's affirmative words, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Don't worry, Gu Yu's matter will be resolved soon."

Shang Qing said to the Queen, "Are you that confident? He's sent someone to follow you. Are you sure you can handle this? Aren't you afraid of getting into danger?"

The queen smiled and said, "Since you want to escape from here, you naturally have to pay a price. Although he has people watching over me, he still trusts me."

"You need to protect yourself. I don't want to break my promise."

Shang Qing looked at the Queen very seriously and said softly.

The Queen nodded slightly: "I know. We've been talking for so long. You should leave now, or you'll be in danger."

"Alright, then I'll be going now. The King should know that I'm here. Think about how to answer him so that he doesn't suspect your purpose."

Shang Qing thought the king was still very capable, so she worried that he might know her intentions just by looking at the queen.

The Queen also stood up and said softly, "You're overthinking it. I know him, and I naturally know how to deal with him."

Shang Qing felt that the Queen had her own ideas, so she simply stopped talking, bowed to her, and then left the palace.

The Queen watched Shang Qing leave the palace before returning to her original spot, staring at the chrysanthemums Shang Qing had given her.

Just as she was somewhat lost in thought, the king arrived at the palace. Seeing her like this, he walked directly to the chair opposite her and sat down.

"What happened? Why are you so distracted?"

When the Queen heard the King's voice, she came to her senses, stood up, bowed to him, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
