Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Leaving (Fixed)

Chapter 4

Cuiping asked the maid to take the food box and went back to the East Courtyard. She saw the maid tiptoeing and carrying hot water into the East Wing. She knew that Jiang Yu had woken up, but the prince should still be asleep, otherwise Jiang Yu would not have washed in the East Wing.

Cuiping went into the room and saw that Jiang Yu had packed up, so she brought out almond tea, "Madam, please take a nap first."

Jiang Yu's face was full of fatigue, and her eyes were still a little blue, but there was an alluring brilliance in her eyes. Cuiping almost stared straight at her, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She could feel Jiang Yu's alienation, but what was yesterday?

After taking a sip of almond tea, Jiang Yu felt a little better. She looked in the mirror and saw that the dark circles under her eyes were still a little heavy, so she took another layer of powder and applied it, which was a little better.

She didn't know what happened yesterday, but she suddenly felt a little unwilling. In addition, Lin Bozhi was also very excited. He always looked indifferent, as if his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness had been buried underground with the death of King Zhou.

Jiang Yu was also very fascinated by such a vivid Lin Bozhi.

Yesterday, Lin Bozhi was so domineering and hot, like a ball of fire, as if she was a delicacy in the world, and she wanted to taste it over and over again. She never knew that the relationship between men and women was so addictive.

But when she waited for the morning, Jiang Yu saw that Lin Bozhi did not take off the jade pendant even when he was sleeping. It was like being splashed with a bucket of water, and her heart was cold.

Lin Bozhi was wearing a female bird with wings, which was carved lifelike and had a ruby in its mouth. It was extremely beautiful, but half of it was missing. She knew that this was a pair of lovebirds that lived together and flew together, and the male bird was with Princess Jialan.

Jiang Yu's eyes gradually turned cold, and his heart was not with her after all.

"It's getting late, let's go to Heshou Hall first."

Jiang Yu's eyes were firm and determined, which made Cuiping afraid.

***

Mother Zhao was Lin Bozhi's wet nurse. Because of her poor health, she didn't take care of things much. But when she heard about the imperial edict yesterday, she dragged her limping legs to the East Courtyard. It happened that Jiang Yu had already gone to Heshou Hall, but Lin Bozhi woke up.

Since she was here, she had to serve Lin Bozhi. While directing the maid to wipe Lin Bozhi's face, she looked at the food box on the table. She knew it was hot milk without even looking at it. She couldn't help but say to Lin Bozhi, "My Lord, don't blame me for saying something presumptuous. What was the palace like when Jiang married in? What is it like now? You should know that the princess doesn't manage things very well. The princess has spent a lot of effort to manage the palace properly. As for you, it's nothing to say... I told you about this bowl of milk once before. The princess has been giving it to you every day for three years."

Lin Bozhi was dressed neatly. Because he was going out today, he wore a sky-blue brocade short brown jacket with a Ruyi pattern that was convenient for riding a horse. He wore long boots on his feet, and looked handsome and upright.

Lin Bozhi thought of Jiang Yu's tenderness last night, and his expression eased.

"She said she wanted to go home."

Lin Bozhi was a quiet man, and this sentence was very rare. Mother Zhao remembered that her legs were not good, and it was Jiang Yu who took a lot of effort to ask people to find ointments in the palace, which made her feel more comfortable. She was very grateful to Jiang Yu in her heart.

As for the care that Jiang Yu had never neglected in the past few years, let alone, otherwise who would remember her when the palace was in a difficult situation?

Mother Zhao felt sad when she heard this and said, "My Lord, this is just a woman's angry words, why do you take it seriously? Think about the past three years, Jiang has been really sincere. Although you will definitely marry Princess Jialan in the future, can't such a big palace accommodate a little Jiang? For her diligence, you should at least give her something to eat, right? If you really let her go home, how can she, a married woman, have a way to survive in the future?"

Lin Bozhi's expression was indifferent, but the tension was gone. Mother Zhao knew that she had listened to him, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and reminded, "My Lord, this old woman is just nagging me, don't be annoyed, Jiang is really a good..."

The palace has been in decline over the years, and Jiang Yu was stretched to the limit, so he only focused on Heshou Hall and the East Courtyard. He built a corridor that went directly through the east to Heshou Hall where Princess Zhou lived.

Lin Bozhi walked two steps and arrived at Heshou Hall. There was a grape trellis in the yard, with grapes growing on it. The grapes were plump and very beautiful. The doors and windows of the hall were open, and he could see inside at a glance. His mother, Princess Zhou, was sitting on the armchair. It was unknown what she said. She patted Jiang Yu's shoulder with some regret. Jiang Yu turned sideways so that Lin Bozhi could not see her expression.

"The prince is here."

After hearing the little maid's report, Jiang Yu turned sideways slightly, and Lin Bozhi saw her indifferent face with almost no expression, and couldn't help frowning for a moment.

As he was waiting to walk in, he heard Princess Zhou say, "My son, your mother has decided on this matter for you."

"What is it?"

Princess Zhou sighed and said, "Ayu is sensible. She said that she didn't want to create a rift between Princess Jialan and her, so she asked to go home. Mother thought about it and it was appropriate for her to go. After all, Princess Jialan waited for you in the temple for several years. You don't want to know that there is someone else as soon as you enter the mansion, right?"

Lin Bozhi looked deeply at Jiang Yu and saw that she lowered her head and did not respond. His eyes gradually became cold for a while.

"She has worked hard in the past few years and is really wholehearted. Mother also wants to obey her once."

Princess Zhou said this beautifully, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she wanted to drive Jiang Yu away.

Since the emperor issued the imperial edict, Princess Zhou felt that Jiang Yu was not good enough when she went to see her again. She always felt that her background was too low, and there was no good mother's family for her son to rely on, so she was picky and dissatisfied, but when Jiang Yu took the initiative to offer to give up her position and even go home, those dissatisfactions disappeared.

Princess Zhou went to hold Jiang Yu's hand and said sincerely, "You always call me mother. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

While waiting for Lin Bozhi to write the divorce letter, Jiang Yu respectfully thanked Lin Bozhi and said, "We have been married for three years, and I am grateful for your love... It's a pity that we are not destined to be together. I hope you can find another beautiful woman, live in harmony and live a happy life."

Lin Bozhi's expression became colder and he waved his hand impatiently.

Jiang Yu took the divorce letter and walked out without any nostalgia.

Today's weather is particularly good and sunny. Jiang Yu is a little reluctant and confused. She doesn't know how to walk the long road ahead, but she has a strange sense of relief. She is finally no longer the Crown Prince's Concubine Jiang Yu, who needs to take care of everything and serve Princess Zhou and Lin Bozhi, and she doesn't need to be sad every day and secretly guess Lin Bozhi's thoughts. She is just Jiang Yu herself.

She can sleep in in the morning and stay up late at night to read storybooks without worrying about not being able to get up in the morning and being scolded by Princess Zhou for being immature. She can also go to the pond to play in the water and pick lotus pods, just like when she was a little girl.

Although there was still a dull pain in her heart, Jiang Yu finally showed a relieved smile.

Mother Zhao watched Jiang Yu packing her bags and felt like she was dreaming. The prince was fine in the morning? What happened?

Li Fugui's wife, the housekeeper who was trained by Jiang Yu, was also shocked. She came in just now to ask about today's shopping, but saw Jiang Yu preparing to go back to the Jiang family.

She cried, "How can this be possible?"

Jiang Yu asked Cuiping to pack the luggage according to the dowry list, and said, "The princess doesn't take care of things. You have been with me the longest and understand these things best. I am afraid you have to take over temporarily."

Li Fugui understood what Jiang Yu meant. Even if Lin Bozhi wanted to get married, the Crown Prince's wife would be in the capital and it would be impossible for her to return to Lin'an. Princess Zhou didn't like to take care of the household affairs, so it was her day to come to the fore, but... Li Fugui was reluctant to leave and said, "Madam, I just can't bear to leave you."

Jiang Yu said, "If you handle things properly, it will be a great honor for me."

In addition to Li Fugui and Mother Zhao, there was someone else who came to visit Jiang Yu, that was the second master Lin Ji in the mansion.

Jiang Yu touched Lin Ji's head and said, "Second Master, you must study hard."

Lin Ji looked up at Jiang Yu, his eyes red.

***

Eunuch Zhang was not good at riding horses, but Lin Bozhi wanted to ride a horse to the capital, and he couldn't sit in the sedan chair by himself, so he could only grit his teeth and ride with Lin Bozhi.

It was strange. The weather was fine in the morning, but it started to drizzle when he went out. The eunuch took a raincoat and put it on Eunuch Zhang, and then put on a bamboo hat, which barely blocked the rain.

Perhaps because he saw that Eunuch Zhang looked gloomy, the eunuch wanted to cheer him up, so he told him everything about Jiang Yu, "She said that she asked the prince for a letter of divorce and left the palace."

The eunuch still remembered the appreciation of Jiang Yu in Eunuch Zhang's tone last night, and he must want to hear about it.

Sure enough, the eunuch saw that Eunuch Zhang showed a bit of surprise. The team escorting Lin Bozhi to Beijing was very long. After all, Eunuch Zhang was not good at riding horses, so he had fallen to the end. There was no need to worry that the conversation between the two would be heard by Lin Bozhi.

"Do you think this Jiang is stupid? Even if she is to marry someone else, does the palace still need her to make a living?"

"Oh, not necessarily."

Eunuch Zhang did not agree with the young eunuch. He glanced ahead. Lin Bozhi was riding very fast, his expression as cold as winter ice. He said meaningfully, "Sometimes things are too easy to get, so we don't cherish them. This Jiang has a bit of temper, which is rare." The

young eunuch was confused and didn't understand. "I really don't understand."

Eunuch Zhang knocked on the young eunuch's head with a whip and scolded, "What can you understand with your wooden head? Let's go!"

It rained all afternoon that day, but Lin Bozhi did not rest but walked forward in the rain. The followers were miserable. It would be bad if he caught a cold, but Lin Bozhi's face was gloomy. Eunuch Zhang took a look and swallowed his words.
