The Empress Dowager immediately shut her mouth and leaned to the side to rest.
Seeing this, the Emperor also closed his eyes and began to rest.
On the other end, after Gu Chengrui received the news, he went straight to Zhou Ying, who was crocheting underwear. “Babe, it’s time. The crucial moment has arrived.”
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. When she thought of the worm being trampled to death by the Emperor, her eyes suddenly lit up. “You mean they started fighting for the throne?”
“You could say so, but the Emperor was stopped outside the palace gates by the Empress and King Hui.
“Let’s go to King Rui’s Residence now.
“If the worst happens…
“We must escape with King Rui’s consorts and the others.”
Zhou Ying nodded and asked, “What about the people in the residence?”
“I told Lin Yitian, and he would hide with the rest.
“If we don’t return, he’ll return their servant contracts to them.
“Let’s go now, or it’ll be too late.”
Zhou Ying nodded and quickly pulled off the bedsheet. She put away all the valuable things in the room. At the same time, she took a change of clothes for both of them and followed Gu Chengrui to King Rui’s Residence.
As soon as they left, Lin Yitian asked Niu Fugui to call everyone over. However, he only said it was getting chaotic outside and everyone should hide.
Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying entered through the side door of the residence and ran to the front to find Butler Feng.contemporary romance
When Butler Feng saw them coming over, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You guys are finally here. Are you all ready?”
“Yeah, how are the preparations going?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“Everything is ready. Whether we succeed or fail depends on tonight.” After speaking, Butler Feng looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Madam Gu, the two consorts have already gathered in the main courtyard. You should go over too and help guard there.”
“Alright, then I’ll go over first.” Zhou Ying nodded at Gu Chengrui and went to the main courtyard.
However, she had already spread her divine sense along the way and found that the entire residence was on guard. Not only were there guards everywhere, but even tear gas and smoke bombs were also prepared.
As soon as she entered the main courtyard, Gu Wanning walked up to and greeted Zhou Ying, “Cousin-in-law, you’re finally here.”
“Why? Are you afraid?” Zhou Ying smiled.
“I’m fine, but it’s safer with you around.” Gu Wanning took Zhou Ying’s bag and returned to her room with her.
After entering the room, Zhou Ying saw the big and small bags on the table, bed, and floor. She was stunned momentarily, bowed lightly to Sun Miaoke, and said, “Princess consort, if we have to run for our lives, these things won’t be useful.
“You only need to prepare some loose silver, silver notes, and two sets of ordinary clothes. At most, you can bring two pieces of jewelry.
“These bags will only delay our escape speed.”
Sun Miao was surprised, glanced at the light bag Gu Wanning had put down, and nodded in agreement. She looked at Qing Tao and instructed, “Qing Tao, re-prepare the stuff according to Mrs. Gu’s instructions.”
“But what we have here is already simplified.”
“Is your life more important than your things?” Sun Miaoke asked.
Qing Tao could only agree when she heard that. Gu Wanning quickly looked at Chun Xi and finally emphasized, “Remember to bring along the hundred-year-old ginseng.
“We might be able to use it on the road.”
“Yes.” Chun Xi got busy when she heard that.
Seeing this, Qing Tao also got busy, even if she was reluctant.
Zhou Ying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She looked at Gu Wanning and asked, “By the way, where’s Chenglin?”
“He went to the manor in the name of inspecting the harvest two days ago. Butler Feng said that he’s safe and that I shouldn’t worry..”
