PFC Chapter 498 is Farewell
Chapter 498 is Farewell
Gu family.
After Bai Xuan came in, she was curious about everything inside.
Lu Rui saw through her thoughts and warned her, "Follow me carefully and don't run around."
Only then did Bai Xuan embarrassedly put away her little thoughts and followed Lu Rui.
She raised her head and said, "Actually, I just wanted to see where my royal brother used to live."
Gu Qingyuan learned that Lu Rui and Bai Xuan, brother and sister, were coming and came out to greet them.
When Bai Xuan saw Gu Qingyuan, she was very enthusiastic and ran over to hug her.
"Sister-in-law, we're here to play with you!"
Lu Rui reminded: "It's a farewell."
"bid farewell?"
Hearing Lu Rui's words, Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Yes, we have been out long enough and need to go back."
Bai Xuan held her arm and said reluctantly, "Yes, sister-in-law, we will go back tomorrow. If you are free in the future, you are welcome to come and play with me!"
Bai Xuan is like a sunflower, full of energy and smiling all the time.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later when we have a chance."
In fact, Gu Qingyuan knew in his heart that Lu Rui, now the ruler of a country, was no longer the timid person who used to be in his house.
Even if I really want to go to the Holy Land in the future, there are many things to consider, and I'm afraid I can't go there just because I want to.
"It's hot outside, let's talk inside."
Gu Qingyuan changed the subject and led them into the house.
Xuelang came with them. When Gu Qingyuan invited him, Baixuan, and Lurui to go into the house, Xuelang shook his head and said, "I'll just stand outside."
Seeing that he was unwilling to go into the house, Gu Qingyuan did not force him.
When they entered the house, Bai Xuan looked at the cup in Gu Qingyuan's hand curiously.
After pouring tea into the cup, a pattern slowly appeared on the cup which was originally blank.
Moreover, the pattern on it is different when you pour cold water or hot water into it.
She picked up the cup and couldn't let it go.
Seeing Bai Xuan's happy expression, Gu Qingyuan laughed and said, "Xiaoxuan, if you like, I have an unopened set of tea sets at home. You can take it with you."
"really?"
Bai Xuan was very excited.
"I knew the Empress Dowager was the best to me!"
Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen to get a new set of tea sets and asked Bai Xuan and the others to take them with them when they left.
Bai Xuan sat for a while and then ran outside to look for the snow wolf.
Inside the room, Gu Qingyuan, Lu Rui and Wen Shubai were all sitting.
Lu Rui saw Wen Shubai's big belly and lowered her eyes.
Gu Qingyuan asked him first: "Did something happen over there? That's why you're so anxious to go back."
Lu Rui didn't intend to hide it from her. He nodded and said, "It's my mother. She wrote to ask me to come back."
Gu Qingyuan remembered the beautiful and elegant woman he met when he followed Lu Rui to the Holy Land.
Bai Xuan and Lu Rui inherited the advantages of that woman very well, and it was precisely because of her beauty that the former Emperor Bai doted on her so much.
Lu Rui did not tell Gu Qingyuan the specific details, nor did he want Gu Qingyuan to know that his mother had actually cut her wrists in order to force him to go back.
"You've been out for over a month, it's time to go back."
However, after returning this time, they didn’t know when they would see each other again.
Half an hour later, Lu Rui took Bai Xuan and the tea set given by Gu Qingyuan and left the Gu family and returned to Sifang Pavilion.
The next day.
The group set out on their journey back to the sanctuary.
The Queen sent Gu Qingyuan and others to escort them out of the city.
Bai Xuan sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and reluctantly said to Gu Qingyuan: "Sister-in-law, will you come when I get married?"
"I'll try my best, but I will definitely deliver the gift."
"Ah, okay."
Bai Xuan retracted her head in disappointment and sat back.
"See you next time then!"
After watching their carriage leave, Gu Qingyuan turned around and went back.
Sanctuary Kingdom.
Empress Dowager Li frantically shouted in the palace: "Rebellion! How dare you disobey me!"
What she was holding in her hand was the letter that Lu Rui had sent back.
Ever since she learned that the rebellious son had taken people to Daning State, Empress Dowager Li was worried that he would give up the throne for that woman.
No, if he gave up the throne, she would probably lose her position as empress dowager too. She couldn't stand the feeling of having no power.
The servants around did not dare to provoke Empress Dowager Li.
Her emotions have always been unstable, and this time she even cut her wrists to force the new emperor to obey her and return from Daning Kingdom as soon as possible.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
When the people in Queen Mother Li's palace heard her voice, they quickly lowered their heads.
What made Queen Mother Li so excited was that Lu Rui wrote in his reply letter that if Queen Mother Li insisted on doing so, he would not mind sending her to the imperial mausoleum to guard his father's tomb.
However, Lu Rui was also afraid that something might really happen to Empress Dowager Li, so he rushed back from Daning State.
The carriage did not stop along the way and finally arrived on the fifth day.
As soon as he returned to the Holy Land Kingdom's palace, Lu Rui strode towards where Queen Mother Li lived.
The people in the palace saw that the new emperor looked unhappy, and no one dared to go up and provoke him.
After arriving at where Queen Mother Li lived, Lu Rui walked straight in.
When Empress Dowager Li saw him, she rushed towards him with tears and snot.
"My dear prince, you are finally back."
Lu Rui grabbed his wrist and asked impatiently, "What is Mother trying to do? You are playing with your own life."
Empress Dowager Li's eyes became clearer. She said, "I want you to marry a concubine as soon as possible. You've been on the throne for so long, and there's not even a woman in your harem. You can't just stay single forever for the sake of that woman from Daning Kingdom, can you?"
Lu Rui said, "I have my own considerations."
After saying this, he let go of Empress Dowager Li's hand.
Queen Mother Li was a little anxious. She said, "Do you know? Everyone in the palace is saying that you are ill, so there is no one in the harem."
"Who is so audacious as to speak so openly about me?"
Murderous intent appeared in Lu Rui's eyes.
He was always ruthless, especially in his official duties.
Queen Mother Li was frightened by his eyes.
That was the look she had seen on Bai Huang's face before, a look without a trace of tenderness.
"If the Queen Mother doesn't tell me, I will investigate on my own."
Afterwards, Lu Rui called the imperial physician, who came over to examine Queen Dowager Li and said, "Your Majesty has lost too much blood recently and needs to rest well."
After leaving a message saying "Take good care of the Empress Dowager", Lu Rui left Empress Dowager Li's palace.
Queen Mother Keli discovered that after Lu Rui left, there were more people guarding her.
Lu Rui was afraid that such a situation would happen again, so he sent more people to keep an eye on Queen Dowager Li.
