Chapter 354 Departure
I had been holding back my anger for several days and I let it all out today . Not only did I let out my anger, I also cried out all the grievances in my heart.
It feels good when I cry.
But I'm done crying...
Rong Que never expected that he, a seven-foot-tall man who had never cried even when he was bullied as a child, would just hug his wife and cry on her neck.
How shameless is this!
However, the embarrassment only lasted for a moment, and soon Rong Que figured it out.
What's the point of having face!
Do you have the dignity to be gentle with your wife? Do you have the dignity to enjoy your wife's gentleness now?
Su Qingqing wrung out the handkerchief and wiped Rong Que's face . Rong Que just half-lying and half-sitting on the bed, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "You are an adult now, you are not afraid that the children will see you and cry."
Rong Que touched Su Qingqing's belly and said, "I am crying with my own wife, why is he laughing? If he wants to laugh, let him laugh with his wife later."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Are you not angry now?"
Rong Que let out a long sigh.
This sigh was trembling, bloody, and with hard thorns that had softened.
"I am still angry. I am angry at myself, at you, and at that bastard Duke Xue. But I can't control my anger. When I am angry, you suffer as well. I feel bad for you."
Su Qingqing curled her lips, "I feel bad for who gave me the cold shoulder before."
Rong Que held the person tightly in his arms in this position, "Let's talk about reason, okay? Who of us is being rude to each other? I'll come here early every day to coax you to eat."
Su Qingqing pinched his chest and said, "Are you trying to coax me into eating? You might as well be coaxing me into eating nails."
Rong Que smiled to himself and said, "I was wrong. I admit my mistake."
Su Qingqing leaned in his arms and made herself comfortable. "I know you are anxious, but this matter really can't be solved in a hurry."
Rong Que placed his hand in front of Su Qingqing's mouth, blocking her voice.
"Ancestor, please stop talking. I understand the truth, but my patriotism is not that strong. Now I have accepted it. Can you give me a chance to feel ashamed of myself?"
Su Qingqing gently licked Rong Que's palm.
Then she clearly felt that Rong Que's hand, which was placed in front of her mouth, changed from covering it lightly to covering it with trembling force.
"Don't." He said hoarsely.
Su Qingqing turned around and smiled, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, are you sure?"
Rong Que's eyes were even darker than when he first came in, as if he wanted to suck Su Qingqing in. He suddenly turned over.
Su Qingqing was pregnant, so he didn't dare to go too far. But when emotions came up, no one could control themselves.
The next morning, Rong Que personally escorted Su Qingqing out of the city. It was not yet morning court and the sky was still completely dark.
Jixiang sat in the carriage, waiting for it to start. Jixiang parted the curtains and took a look outside, then turned to Su Qingqing and said, "Master, you and His Majesty are too much."
The marks on Su Qingqing's neck had not disappeared yet. She had been busy for too long yesterday and was now so sleepy that she just wanted to sleep. She ignored Jixiang, tilted her head, and fell asleep hugging a small pillow.
Jixiang curled his lips.
What is this?
Last night, the two were so awkward with each other that they acted like enemies who had murdered each other, but after a night, this morning, Su Qingqing's neck became like this. What happened? Even if Jixiang had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run, and had seen it several times. She was very experienced.
Can the conflict between the couple really be resolved by doing this?
Jixiang didn't dare to say it, and didn't dare to ask. He could only figure it out in his heart.
She just couldn't figure out how her master had convinced Rong Que. After all, Rong Que's expression had been so bad in the past few days. How could he agree so easily?
When Su Qingqing woke up, Jixiang asked again. Su Qingqing smiled but didn't give her an answer.
Jixiang simply didn't ask.
Why bother with gossip? You’d better think about the things happening in Guangdong and Guangxi instead.
The flood in Guangdong and Guangxi did not break out overnight. Rong Que had already received a report before and had sent people there privately to investigate the situation.
The memorial said that needing assistance from the court was the least of the problems. The people sent by Rong Que brought back news that the flooding there was already very serious.
The flood submerged villages and towns and destroyed fertile farmland. Not to mention how many people were washed away, there are countless people who were left homeless in this flood alone.
The people in Guangdong and
Rong Que had been discussing these matters with He Chao before, and had also sent people from the Ministry of Works to deal with them, but unfortunately the effect was not great.
With great difficulty, Rong Que in Kyoto dealt with Concubine Qi and the Minister of Rites' gang, freed up his energy, found evidence to throw Duke Xue over there, but the situation over there was even more serious.
This time when Su Qingqing set out, she did not go on a secret visit. She went directly and openly with the Su family army.
Due to her physical condition, she could not move too fast, but the advance troops of the Su family army were marching at a rapid speed.
In less than half a month, a thousand troops arrived at the disaster area with relief food.
When they arrived, the local people affected by the disaster were immediately devastated.
They did not shed tears when the flood came, but when the Su family army arrived, they were like bullied children who finally saw their mother, and they could not control their tears and fell.
If there is anyone who can be trusted, in the eyes of the common people, it is only the Su family army.
As long as the Su family army takes action, they will feel at ease and have a solution, and they will no longer have to worry about this matter.
The Su family army's advance troops were led by Su Qingqing's former capable subordinate, Lieutenant General Zhao, the younger brother of the wife of the Datong prefect, Zhao Erbao, also known as Zhao Jiekang.
The common people welcome the Su family army from the bottom of their hearts, but there are also people who do not welcome the Su family army from the bottom of their hearts.
The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Xu Kefeng poured a cup of tea for Duke Xue and sat opposite him with a smile, "Duke, now that the Su family army is here, our affairs will be difficult to handle."
Duke Xue looked at the bright yellow tea in front of him and said nothing.
Xu Kefeng looked at Duke Xue's face and silently twirled his fingers a few times, "I heard that the Duke had a lot of friction with our Queen in Kyoto.
When the Su family army came this time, the Queen came in person to supervise despite being pregnant.
He is really diligent in his work and loves the people."
Duke Xue raised his eyelids and looked at him. "Such words have no effect on them. The emperor is cowardly. Not to mention that the queen is diligent in government and loves the people, even if you say that there are two emperors in one dynasty, you can't stir up their feelings. The emperor doesn't mind these things. It's useless."
Xu Kefeng raised his eyebrows.
He was far away from Kyoto, so naturally his information was not as comprehensive as Duke Xue's.
He only knew that the emperor rejected the proposal to add concubines to the harem for the sake of the queen. He didn't expect that he could so calmly accept the rumors that the throne was threatened and the harem was interfering in politics?
He doesn't believe it.
