After Gu Wanning said that, she took a towel from Chunxi’s hand and wiped her sweat. “Sister, let’s continue talking inside.”
“Alright.” Sun Miaoke followed her into the house.
After she sat down, Gu Wanning personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them and handed her a glass. “Sister, please have some tea.”
“Do take a seat. It’s just the two of us; there’s no need to be so polite.” Sun Miaoke took the tea and said.
At the same time, she was delighted with her attitude and hoped that it could continue.
This way, she would at least have someone to talk to.
“Thank you, Sister.” Gu Wanning sat down after she finished speaking.
“I think you know the whole story of us being schemed against.
“I came here today with only one purpose. I hope that we can all be more vigilant in the future.
“If there were any suspicious people or things, I hope we could exchange information first.”
“It’s what I should do. We should also try our best to not cause any trouble for His Highness.”
“Indeed, once the sea opens, His Highness will return to Dongyang. In the future, it’s better for us to work together against the outside world.”
“Yes, I will remember it.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Sun Miaoke left, satisfied.
After she left, Chunxi asked in confusion, “Young miss, what does princess consort mean by this? I’m a little confused?”
“I feel that she is here to express goodwill. As long as we behave, she should not make things difficult for us.” Mrs. Sun explained.
She did not sense any malice from the princess consort either.
“Maybe she wants to find a helper.
“The Imperial Residence is filled with danger. If the two of us were to start quarreling, I’m afraid neither will end up well.” Gu Wanning replied.
Sun Miaoke would have to run such a large residence once His Highness left, and Gu Wanning assumed Sun Miaoke felt she was insufficient to face such a significant ordeal on her own.
However, this was a good thing. She didn’t want to fight either.
As for His Highness’ favor, it would depend on their own abilities.
At night, the servant ‘quietly’ left the residence and found Su Qing.
“How did it go?” Su Qing quickly got up and asked.
The servant shook his head. “I’m not sure. She only ate a little, and Qiao Lanlan was found out and executed.”
“I’ve already heard about this. How was she discovered?”
“Perhaps she had poured too much of the medicine, and the princess consort tasted the bitterness, so she investigated all the way and found Qiao Lanlan.” “Fool, can’t she make a strong soup to cover it up? You didn’t expose yourself, did you?” Su Qing asked.
“I don’t think so. Otherwise, they would have arrested me long ago.”
“It’s better to be careful. Don’t look for me for the time being. When I need you, I’ll send someone to look for you.” Su Qing turned around and walked toward the back door.
The servant also stood up and walked out. After coming out, he looked around and returned to King Rui’s residence openly.
Su Qing waited for him to leave before returning. After he left, he circled the street a few times. After ensuring no one was following the servant boy, he turned around and left.
After he left, a figure walked out from the opposite side and quickly returned to the Imperial Residence.
Zhou Ying, who had been paying attention to their residence, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for a minor scholar exam, and Gu Chenglin was successfully admitted.
In order to let him relax, Zhou Ying took him to the manor for three days and taught him some farming knowledge.
At this time, Gu Chenglin finally realized that farming was not just about farming. A lot of knowledge was involved, making him pay attention to agriculture-related knowledge.
At the end of the month, King Kang married his wife.
The Seventh Prince married his wife at the end of March, following the spring planting, particularly the planting of sweet potatoes..
