Chapter 268 Farewell
The female official laughed and said, "You are too serious to the prince. She thinks you don't like her. How dare she get close to you?"
The Empress Dowager: "..."
She was depressed, but couldn't help but ordered, "Go and inform Qi Min, ask her to draft an edict, send an envoy with Su Wan back to Da Zhou, and tell the Da Zhou royal family that Su Wan has made great contributions to saving the emperor and is a benefactor of Xiliang. She can drive the iron cavalry of Xiliang."
This is to tell Da Zhou openly that Su Wan is someone Xiliang wants to protect, so don't bully her.
The female official happily responded, "I will tell the queen right away."
——
Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi went to Mingxin Hall.
Qi Min and Ji Xuan were playing chess.
The young couple came over, and Qi Min put away the chess game: "You came just in time, let's have dinner together."
"Okay." Su Wan agreed and sat directly next to Qi Min, "We are here to say goodbye, and we will set off to return to Da Zhou early tomorrow morning."
Qi Min's smile froze, and she looked at Ji Xuan beside her blankly. Su Wan's decision was too sudden.
"Life is everywhere, and we will have a chance to see each other again." Su Wan briefly explained the relationship between Gu Qingsong and Gu Huaizhi, "I am worried about my mother-in-law taking the child alone in Da Zhou, and I will spend the New Year with her."
Qi Min was reluctant to leave Su Wan. This was the first year of the family reunion, but she could understand Su Wan's feelings, especially Gu's mother's care for Su Wan. She was grateful to Gu's mother in her heart.
"Next year, you will have time to come to Xiliang, or your father and I will have time to return to Da Zhou to spend the New Year with you." Qi Min didn't force him to stay. She looked at Gu Huaizhi and Ji Xuan: "We have something to say to each other."
Ji Xuan had something to tell Gu Huaizhi, and the two men went to the side hall.
"I will stay in Xiliang, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the Great Zhou." Ji Xuan took out a token and gave it to Gu Huaizhi: "It's better for you to go back earlier. The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince have no one to suppress them. I'm afraid they will fall into their hands. Your road will be a little more difficult."
"The Crown Prince and the Queen Mother will not be able to turn over unless the Queen and the Prime Minister fall."
The Queen has Zhao Wei behind her, and her position is extremely stable.
"After you go back, tell the Queen about Jingyun's identity and directly push him to the throne. You hold the power of the Regent Palace in your hands, and you can assist Jingyun and govern on his behalf." Ji Xuan valued Gu Huaizhi before, and now that Gu Huaizhi is his son-in-law, he is more confident to entrust the Great Zhou to him.
"Yes." Gu Huaizhi agreed.
Ji Xuan whispered, "Treat Zhao'er well."
Gu Huaizhi looked serious, "I will never let you down in this life."
Ji Xuan smiled suddenly, "If you let her down, I don't have to do anything, she will take care of you."
Gu Huaizhi thought of Su Wan and his eyes softened, "I am happy with it."
The news that the two were leaving Xiliang State spread in the palace. Wei Yang, the emperor's husband, and their two children came, and the empress dowager also came. Everyone sat around a table for dinner, laughing and talking, without the sadness of parting, and they were happy.
And the lights were bright in the Qin Mansion.
Qin Yang packed his bag, and Qian sobbed beside him, "Husband, where are you going? If you leave, what will happen to us mothers?"
"You wait for me here, I will be back in a year at most."
Qin Yang heard the news that Gu Qingsong sent Gu Yunzhen to the White Horse Temple. The child was born to Liu and Xu Chou. Gu Huaizhi refused to recognize Gu Qingsong, and the gap between father and son was very deep. He was the key person who caused this misunderstanding. He planned to save the country in a roundabout way. He went to Dazhou to apologize to Gu's mother and explained the whole story to her.
Qian was stunned: "One year?"
Qin Yang did not intend to explain. He pushed Qian who was blocking him, put on his cloak and strode into the night.
"Husband, husband——" Qian chased out.
Qin Yang turned a deaf ear to him, got on his horse, and galloped towards the city gate.

Author's words:
Ruanbao actually likes the character of Gu's mother. She protects her shortcomings and has a bad temper. If she were a few decades younger, she could still be a protagonist~ Babies, good night, muah~
