Chapter 474: Resign and return home
The two sisters hurriedly got up and saluted the emperor, but Concubine Yun was full of calm and self-promise, and said to the emperor with a smile: "The concubine hasn't seen the little sister for a long time, and she couldn't help but say a few more words when she pulled her, but she didn't hear the voice of Tongyu." ”
Emperor Zhao You approached her and replied with a smile: "I don't let people get through, if Concubine Ai wants to stay with her little sister for a few more days, then let her stay with you in the palace for two days, okay?" ”
Concubine Yun always had a faint smile on her face, she glanced at Lin Shuran, and then said to the emperor: "The concubine is willing, but the little sister has just returned home, and she always needs to rest for a few more days, and I am still a little worried about her body." ”
"I heard what Aze said, and I have already ordered people to find this medicinal herb, Cordyceps, and I believe there will be news soon!" As far as Emperor Zhao You is concerned, Xu Junze is not only his courtier, but also his relatives and friends, Lin Shuran and him are also a family, and of course he has to pay attention to this family matter.
Next, the four of them sat down together for lunch, and then Xu Junze and Lin Shuran left the palace together, and on the way back from the palace, Lin Shuran glanced at Xu Junze several times, and didn't see any difference in his face.
"What do you keep watching me do?" Lin Shuran peeked at himself and was caught by Xu Junze.
Lin Shuran was also calm, she looked at him intently and asked, "Did you and the emperor hear what I said to my sister just now!" ”
Xu Junze didn't deny it, when they walked in, they just heard Lin Shuran talking about Xiao Chen, he used to mind the relationship between Xiao Chen and Lin Shuran, but since he knew that Lin Shuran was not the real Lin Shuran, he didn't care so much, after all, what Xiao Chen liked was the Lin Shuran before, and it had nothing to do with his wife.
"There has never been anything between me and Xiao Chen, in fact, from the moment I was Lin Shuran, sometimes I feel sorry for Xiao Chen, if I were still me, maybe his life would be different!" Lin Shuran has always been sorry for Xiao Chen, but she has also thought that if Lin Shuran is really still there, maybe she only has Gu Jingcheng in her heart, and she may not necessarily choose Xiao Chen, but who can know these things, maybe there are always infinite possibilities.
"How can there be so many ifs in this world, yes yes, no yes, no, many things can't be forced, everything is fate, everything is destined!" Xu Junze's eyes looked at Lin Shuran firmly, his eyes were full of light at this time, and he was glad that there was no "if", which allowed him to meet the love of his life.
When the two walked out of the palace gate, they happened to meet Gu Jingcheng's father, Gu Chang, who had not seen him for a long time, Lin Shuran found that he was much older, walking more slowly, and there were more wrinkles on his face.
"Uncle Gu!" Lin Shuran took the initiative to say hello, and Xu Junze also stepped forward to salute Gu Chang.
Gu Chang didn't expect to be able to meet the two at the gate of the palace, I heard that Lin Shuran had returned to the capital and cured his serious illness, he and his wife were happy for her when they knew the news, even if they didn't have the chance to become a family, they also hoped that Lin Shuran would be healthy and safe, after all, this was their son's favorite girl, if she didn't have a good time, their son Jiuquan would not be at ease.
"Sister Ran, are you completely well?" Gu Chang was like a loving elder asking Lin Shuran, seeing Lin Shuran smiling and nodding, he also nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xu Junze on the side, "General Xu has to take care of his wife, and the old man hopes that you will all be fine in the future." ”
Gu Chang didn't talk to Lin Shuran for too long, he seemed to be in a hurry to enter the palace to see the emperor, and Lin Shuran said goodbye to him.
It's just that after the two of them got into the carriage, Xu Junze told her that Gu Chang had already planned to resign from his official position and take the Guo family back to the countryside, and the emperor had not allowed it for the time being, but looking at Gu Chang's demeanor just now, he should have entered the palace again to resign.
Lin Shuran was very surprised when he heard the news, he didn't understand why Gu Chang resigned from his official position, he had always liked to be with those students in Guozijian, could it really be that there was something wrong with his body, and he couldn't be an official anymore?
The specific reason Xu Junze didn't know very well, but Lin Shuran still asked Mei to inquire, and soon Mei brought back the news, saying that Gu Chang's resignation was for his daughter Gu Xiruo.
Lin Shuran only then knew that during the time she left Beijing, Gu Xiruo, who had become the wife of Bofu, fought fiercely with Mrs. Qi Rou'er, and somehow it was rumored that the former princess Buyunna left a fortune for her own children, in order to occupy these wealth, Gu Xiruo had a bad heart and wanted to murder the prince of Bofu, but fortunately this matter did not succeed, otherwise it was just to give an explanation to the prince of Brimungo, and Gu Xiruo would not survive.
So, An Ningbofu directly divorced Gu Xiruo, and sent her to the capital to ask for severe punishment, in order to save his daughter's life, Gu Chang was willing to resign and return to his hometown with his daughter and wife, and never enter the capital in the future.
Maybe it was for Gu Chang's conscientious work for the country over the years, or maybe it was for Gu Jingcheng's sacrifice for the country, Emperor Zhao You couldn't bear Gu Chang's childless service when he was old, so he pardoned Gu Xiruo's capital crime and let her stay by her parents' side for a long time in the future.
"Lord Gu's family will leave the capital today!" When he returned home after the early dynasty dispersed, Xu Junze brought Gu Chang's news to Lin Shuran, and at the same time, he also took out the diary book of Gu Jingcheng that he got in Xia Kingdom, and gave it to Lin Shuran again, "I think it's better for you to hand it over to Lord Gu yourself!" ”
This diary album is Gu Jingcheng's last relic, Lin Shuran thought that it must not only be Gu Jingcheng's thoughts about his lover, but also a record of his family's life outside him, so it should be returned to the original owner and handed over to his parents for safekeeping.
This time, Lin Shuran took the book, wrapped it in cloth again, and put it in a suitable wooden box, and then came to the city with Xu Junze to send Gu Chang's family.
It's just that what Lin Shuran didn't expect was that Gu Chang and Guo took Gu Jingcheng's coffin away from Beijing and returned to their hometown this time, and it seems that they really don't plan to return to the capital in the future.
Gu Chang and Guo were also very surprised that Lin Shuran would appear to see them off, Gu Xiruo just sat in the carriage and saw Lin Shuran's figure, and then put down the open carriage curtain, I don't know if she was afraid to feel ashamed to see Lin Shuran, or she still had a grudge against her in her heart, in short, she didn't plan to meet or talk to Lin Shuran, biting her lip and sitting in the car with a blank look.
"Uncle Gu, aunt, I have something to give you!" Lin Shuran came on horseback, and after she turned over and dismounted, she brought the wooden box with both hands and sent it to Gu Chang and Guo, but she saw that they looked at her suspiciously.
