Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C196
“I’m afraid so.” Jin Xiaolou sighed.
Gao Lang deeply furrowed his brows, and only after a long while did he open his mouth: “The late emperor has already passed, and only she knows the inner workings of what is inside. No matter who she is, I must find her and ask her about it.”
Jin Xiaolou extended her hand to hold onto Gao Lang tightly: “Mn, I’ll accompany you. I’ll accompany you to find all the answers you want, I’ll accompany you to walk the path that you want to take.”
Feng Luanjun, who was at the side, could not sit still any longer and hurriedly asked, “Is the empress dowager your aunt today? Then, then aren’t you a prince? ”
Nan Yang nodded at his uncle, “That’s right, uncle. The one in front of you right now is the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou.
“Prince Yao?!” Feng Luanjun gasped in shock for a moment, but regained his composure. After pondering for a long time, he slowly muttered, “Prince Yao …”
Nan Yang’s eyes flickered. Looking at her uncle’s current state, she suddenly spoke again, “Uncle, if you’re willing, you can also come under Seventh Elder’s command.”
Feng Luanjun suddenly raised his head, this was what he had been thinking: “The Old Demoness in the imperial court had turned the entire Great Zhou into a miasma, so many brothers came to me, if I could bring them along to do something, it would be good.”
Feng Luanjun looked at Gao Lang. “Seven … Seventh Elder, other than the several hundred brothers in our village, there are also several other people holding up flags here at Shuzhou. They have come to find me time and time again, and based on my understanding of them, I might be able to bring a few groups of people along with them. ”
“That’s even better.” Gao Lang opened his mouth, “We will not reject anyone who comes.”
After a good meal with the rest of the brothers in the stronghold, Gao Lang, Jin Xiaolou and the other two began their journey back to the Gong Bian.
Feng Luanjun would stay here for the time being, after interacting with the other people nearby, he would head over to Gong Bian to meet up with Gao Lang’s army.
Exiting the Shuzhou, Gao Lang changed the carriage again.
Sitting on the carriage, Nan Yang sighed: “Good intentions will eventually be exchanged for a good report. If it wasn’t for the Lady Chen who couldn’t bear to help Aunt Chen this time, how would we have met my uncle? If we didn’t meet my uncle, the Feng Family would have been reduced to ashes by the time we reach the Yao Xi, and we would have come here for nothing.”
When he returned to the Gong Bian, the weather had turned cold again. The Wind Defense Forest was much larger, and sandstorms were rarely seen.
Seeing that her mother had returned, the Lin’er was overjoyed. Before Jin Xiaolou could even sit down, he shouted that she wanted to perform her new fist art for his mother to see.
However, a three and a half year old child, the martial arts he learnt from Shan Ying was rather tactful. With a stretch of his arms, his legs stepped on the ground, causing Jin Xiaolou’s heart to soften.
Even under the cold wind, Lin’er was covered in sweat. However, he did not mind it at all as he hopped over to Jin Xiaolou’s side and twisted her arm: “Mother, you haven’t been here for some time, Lin’er has been protecting my brother. Now that he has learnt the art, Lin’er will definitely protect my mother and father!”
Nan Yang smiled from the side: “Foolish Lin’er, your father is peerless in this world, why would I need you to protect him?”
Lin’er pouted his small mouth, “Daddy is unparalleled in the world now, but he will be old eventually. When daddy and mom get old, Lin’er will grow up too.
Hearing this, Jin Xiaolou’s eyes turned red, she grabbed the Lin’er and asked: Who taught you to say that?
She truly did not believe that a child with such status would have such a heart.
However, Lin’er slipped his head into her arms, “Lin’er thought of it himself.”
Just as Lin’er finished speaking, Jin Xiaolou saw a pigeon flying down from the blue sky, and landed beside her feet.
Jin Xiaolou saw the messenger on the pigeon’s leg. Lv Yun had sent another message.
It had already been half a year since the last message from Lv Yun. She quickly grabbed the pigeon and held it in her hand when she heard Lin’er ask again: “Mother, are we going to eat Red Braised Pigeons tonight?”
Nan Yang laughed, “Greedy Cat, you’re the same as the Madam.”
Jin Xiaolou coughed lightly and put down Lin’er. “I won’t eat pigeons tonight, I’ll go play with Chang An first!”
With that, he patted Lin’er’s head and watched him run away happily. Then, he turned around and returned back to his tent.
This time, the letter was very long, it said that the young lady who sent Lv Yun out received very important news, and many of the ministers of the imperial court were secretly taken away by the Prince Xian at night, and only returned in the middle of the night.
Furthermore, most of the people who took them away were important officials who held military power. Lv Yun guessed that the Prince Xian would probably make his move soon.
Jin Xiaolou frowned, then called Nan Yang, who was inspecting the military, back.
While waiting for Gao Lang, Jin Xiaolou calculated that this letter should have been delivered two months ago, I’m afraid that the capital is already filled with strange things.
Not long after, Gao Lang opened the curtain and walked in. Jin Xiaolou handed over Lv Yun’s letter to him: “If you want to take action, then you have to do it soon.”
After reading the letter, Gao Lang squinted his eyes: “It’s about time, ever since Empress Dowager Gao took control of the imperial court, there have been many people who are dissatisfied, but now that Zhao Yao has announced a new rule, they are all resentful. A stone is causing a thousand ripples, and the more it accumulates, the faster the flood will break out.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Ol ‘Five is a smart man. At the moment, he is doing things according to the will of the people. In this way, he will be able to sit firmly on the back seat. ”
Gao Lang took a deep breath and made up his mind. He looked at Jin Xiaolou and said, “My wife, go back to the capital first.”
After Jin Xiaolou heard this, she understood that Gao Lang also planned to take action. She hurriedly shook her head: “No, I want to stay by your side.”
Gao Lang carried her over and lightly touched her cheek: “I also want you to stay by my side, but we still have Lin’er and Nian Er, you have to send them to the capital first.”
Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was still unwilling, Gao Lang then said: “Don’t worry, with you waiting for me in the capital, I will definitely be safe and sound, and come to meet with you.”
Thus, Jin Xiaolou could only nod her head.
Without further ado, on the second day, Jin Xiaolou packed her things and brought along Lin’er and Nian Er to the carriage for the journey to the capital.
After half a month on the carriage and by the water route, they arrived back at the capital just as winter fell.
Passing through the city gates once again, Jin Xiaolou felt all sorts of emotions. She wondered how long they could stay in this giant cage this time …
After that, Nan Yang brought the two children back to the Rainbow Garden and went to see Lv Yun alone.
followed Jin Xiaolou’s instructions and went all out to create the champion of the Star Forging Competition, Jin Wan Su. Due to the weakness of the citizens, many of the shops closed up for business.
The ones that were still open were trying their best to attract customers.
Lv Yun then heard Jin Xiaolou bringing Jin Wen Su to the stars to create a picture of Jin Wei Su. It had become a fan effect because there were a lot of fans of Jin Wei Su.
The advertising price of a single portrait could be compared to the income of many shops that were smaller by half a year. Because of this, Linlang Liu-Li was able to make a lot of money.
When Jin Xiaolou reached the Linlang Workshop entrance, it was just in time for the shop to open. The crowd rushed in like a spring, making it difficult for Jin Xiaolou to advance or retreat.
He could only leave and wait for the guests to enter before slowly walking inside.
Jin Xiaolou found a table and chair, and first ordered some sweet water. It had been a long time since they had last seen each other, and the menu was filled with even more sweet water. A short while after the order was given, Attendant came up with a plate and brought it up to them.
Jin Xiaolou wolfed down the food with a gulp.
In Gong Bian, there was no such exquisite food. If one wanted to eat something sweet, he could only ask Nan Yang to make some date cakes.
Although Nan Yang did her best, her skills were still far from being as good as the Tide Cloth. Jin Xiaolou had long thirsted for it.
After eating her fill, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Jin Xiaolou turned her head to look and saw Lv Yun’s blushing face.
“Palm…” The shopkeeper! It’s really you! ” Lv Yun was so excited that his voice became hoarse, “The more I look, the more they look like each other, but I can’t see it clearly, and I’m thinking about how it is possible, but I’m still not willing, so I came down to take a look …”
Before she could finish, Lv Yun had already been pulled into her embrace.
The two of them had hot eyes and hugged each other for a long while. After they separated, Lv Yun looked at Jin Xiaolou from head to toe, and only rubbed his eyes for a long while before she smiled: “This is something to be happy about, why should we cry! “Manager, I am relieved to see you unharmed!”
Jin Xiaolou blinked her eyes, “Not only is it perfectly fine, there’s even an extra child. Nian Er is currently in Rainbow Garden, you will be able to see him tonight.”
“However, I still need to go to a place before I return to Rainbow Garden.” Seeing that Lv Yun wanted to leave immediately, Jin Xiaolou spoke out, “Liusu Pavilion, I need to go to the Liusu Pavilion to take a look at Gui Qi.”
