Chapter 196 Leaving Beijing
When Su Wan looked at him so straightly, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she hooked her hair behind her ears with her fingers.
"Come here." Gu Huaizhi waved to her.
With a smile on his brows and affection in his eyes, strong and straightforward, he stood under the eaves of the corridor waiting for his girl.
Su Wan pulled up her skirt and walked towards him, suddenly feeling shy like a young girl running towards her lover.
"Have you eaten?" Gu Huaizhi stretched out two fingers and naturally closed her lapels.
"Eat." Su Wan smelled the faint aroma of wine on his body. It was not unpleasant, but rather intoxicating: "Have you been drinking?"
Gu Huaizhi smiled and said, "Take a walk."
Since his health had improved, Su Wan would naturally not stop him from drinking. He did not answer, nor did he ask any more disappointing questions.
The two of them walked side by side along the bluestone slabs, with the breeze blowing on their faces. They didn't feel cold, but felt peaceful inside.
She enjoyed the moment.
"Su Jihong is dead." Gu Huaizhi said suddenly.
Su Wan was stunned, as if he was expecting it.
"Father did it?"
Su Wan guessed that it was not him who did it, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Yes." He responded in a low voice and said concisely: "The prince moved his hand."
"Have you got the handle?" Su Wan tilted her head to look at him. Under the dim moonlight, his outline was very deep, and his eyes were too deep to be seen. Aware of her gaze, he turned his head and looked over. The darkness in his eyes suddenly faded away, and he smiled, brighter than the breeze and the bright moon. She was fascinated by the sight, "I'm leaving tomorrow. It's been more than half a year. I really can't bear to leave." you."
Gu Huaizhi was silent and did not answer the previous question. He held her hand, which was incredibly soft and delicate, "You can write to me."
"It will take two or three months to go to Xiliang. By the time my letter reaches you, I have already come back before I receive your reply." Su Wan felt empty when she thought about being apart for so long. If he also How nice would it be to go together?
He needs to be in charge on Jingcheng Road. Their trip to Xiliang was too hasty, and his father had no time to arrange many things, so he needed to deal with the aftermath.
"No." Gu Huaizhi chuckled: "From the day you left, I wrote to you every day. On the second day after you arrived in Xiliang, you received letters every day." He rubbed her He took his hand and kissed his lips gently, with a slight smile in his eyes: "What do you think?"
Su Wan's heartstrings were plucked, she bit her lower lip and said softly: "You are so busy that you come home late, how can you have time to write to me? Shouldn't we each write to each other?" How boring is that?
Writing letters means going back and forth, asking questions and answering questions, and then telling some of the things you have encountered and your feelings.
"After you receive the letter, write a reply to each letter and keep it for yourself when you bring it back. Read it to me and I will answer you one by one."
"You are so thoughtful." Su Wan rolled her eyes. After being apart for so long, she received a letter from him every day, and she would inevitably write some sour words in her reply.
How embarrassing would it be to read it out in front of him?
He put his arms around her waist and leaned close to her.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, his breath hit her face, and his hands were very hot. He held her waist firmly. Her throat was a little tight, but she didn't move away.
He took her lips in his mouth and invaded her lips and tongue bit by bit. Su Wan's heart trembled slightly, and her hands couldn't help but grab the fabric at his waist, trying to respond to him.
Gu Huaizhi let go of Su Wan and rubbed the corners of her lips for a while.
Su Wan leaned in his arms, her cheeks were red and her breathing was a little rough.
"I will send you away at this time." Gu Huaizhi said reluctantly, "Have you packed everything?"
The departure time was advanced. Su Wan felt regretful and didn't ask any more questions. They might have other plans for her safety.
"It's packed. You came back home so early today, specifically to see me off?" Su Wan hugged Gu Huaizhi tightly, "You have to wait for me to come back."
Gu Huaizhi didn't speak, just rubbed her head: "You go ahead alone, Mo Yuan will escort you away, and then you can meet up with your father-in-law."
"Should I leave first?" Su Wan suddenly raised her head, frowning tightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Father, do you want to be a bait?"
"No." Gu Huaizhi shook his head: "The prince set up an ambush. You two are traveling together. The team is large and will attract attention. If you act separately, you must be secretive."
Su Wan was doubtful and had no other emotions, "Should I leave now?"
Gu Huaizhi observed her face and saw that she was serious. He glanced at the sky and whispered: "Okay, you can leave Xiao Tao in the mansion, and I will arrange for someone else to take care of you."
Gu Huaizhi took her hand and walked into the house.
Su Wan had no objection. The person arranged by Gu Huaizhi must be skilled in martial arts. Xiao Tao didn't know martial arts, so it would be more dangerous to bring him there.
I only brought a box of clothes, various poisons, antidotes, and silver needles.
Gu Huaizhi gave her a pair of servant's clothes: "Put them on."
Su Wan's eyes changed and she didn't say anything. She changed into the boy's clothes, combed her hair again, then mingled with several boys and followed Luo Cheng out.
Luo Cheng rode a horse and the boys walked, and went directly to the embroidery building to get the clothes made by Su Wan.
Su Wan followed the boy inside, and the shop seemed to have been cleared of customers. Except for a few embroiderers and a boy, there was no one else.
While the other boys were moving things, Su Wan was pushed into a corner by Luo Cheng and hid in the room where she was trying on clothes.
The former servant in the embroidery building, who was very handsome and about the same height as her, took her place and moved things away with Luo Cheng.
"Put on the eldest lady." The embroiderer came in with a set of clothes and helped Su Wan take off her servant clothes: "Someone will come to buy clothes later. You can leave with them. Mo Yuan is waiting there."
"I'm tired." Su Wan quickly changed into clothes.
The embroiderer helped her make a double bun. She had already prepared things inside. She used a wet handkerchief to take off her makeup and put on a new one.
After a while, a woman came to buy clothes. A huge procession brought many maids, each of whom covered their face with a veil.
Su Wan was put into the accompanying car by Xiu Niang and followed to the Red Sleeve Tower.
"Miss Zhao'er, my master invites you." Someone stopped the woman.
Su Wan looked up and saw the woman pointing towards her: "You, follow me to the carriage."
She lowered her head and got into the carriage with the woman.
There were two people in the carriage, one of whom was dressed like her.
"Miss, her name is Qingyuan, and she will take care of you along the way. It's dark at night, so I won't delay you on your way." Zhao'er didn't introduce much, pulled the skirt of his clothes loose, and wiped away the lipstick from his lips. , dizzy a little on the chin, creating a charming scene, and took another person down.
At night, when business in the brothel was booming, Zhao'er looked like this. Others looked at him, laughed meaningfully, and didn't think much about anything else.
Su Wan was tormented and realized that everyone in the Regent's Palace was probably being watched, otherwise Gu Huaizhi wouldn't have arranged for someone he had never met to pick her up.
The carriage left the capital, passed through a small town, and transferred to Mo Yuan's carriage. They went to the agreed place to wait for the regent.
