Chapter 45
Half a month later, He Lianjing, the ruler of the Nanyi Kingdom, announced that Jialian was the queen, and his daughter He Liannian was named Princess Wuyang.

Chang Xiaoman politely declined He Lianjing's offer to let them live in the palace, and returned to the rented house in Xuancheng.

According to rumors in the streets and alleys, the Xiao family was thrown into limbo for contradicting Empress Jialian.

In the past half month, apart from daily conversations, Chang Xiaoman hardly said anything to Lei Yuxiu.

As for Lei Yuxiu, besides practicing with the gun, he was still practicing with the gun, and he was even more silent than her.

One day, someone knocked on the door.

Chang Xiaoman opened the door, it was Gu Yunzheng.

He came to pick her up and left Xuancheng for Dapei.

"Xiao Man, are you ready?" He was as gentle as the wind, with warmth in his eyes, looking at Xiao Man.

Xiaoman nodded and turned to the luggage in the room.

The maidservants behind Gu Yunzheng quickly followed her and helped her with that thing.

Lei Yuxiu came out, frowned and looked at Gu Yunzheng solemnly, "If she gets even the slightest injury, I won't let you go."

"Yuxiu, you can't trust me after so many years of friendship." Gu Yunzheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget what I told you."

"I will definitely do what I promised you." Lei Yuxiu's voice was resounding.

Chang Xiaoman came out from the back room with a group of maids.

She lowered her eyelashes and looked calm.

The maids loaded the salute into the carriage.

One of the maidservants walked up to Xiao Man, "Miss, please get on the bus."

Chang Xiaoman still didn't speak, and didn't even raise his eyes.

She walked past Lei Yuxiu, lifted the hem of her skirt, and stepped into the carriage carefully.

Lei Yuxiu looked at her back, unable to tell whether it was reluctance or self-blame.

Gu Yunzheng shook his head and sighed softly, and also got into the carriage.

The coachman rode his horse, and the carriage started slowly. Lei Yuxiu stared at the carriage, suppressing the urge to stop the carriage, and clenched his fists fiercely to control the emotions that were about to burst through his chest.

Inside the carriage, Chang Xiaoman was silent.She was thinking about what Helian Jialian said in Xuanji Temple.

She still has a lot of things to do, and now she has the support of He Lianjing, but they still have a long way to go before they can really win the final battle.

Even if it wasn't for the love between men and women, Lei Yuxiu was the one who treated her best and cared about her the most when she came to this world.Even if his concern is only because she transmigrated into the role of Chang Xiaoman.

It's just to repay Lei Yuxiu's kindness to her.

Chang Xiaoman made up her mind, she had tasted the sweetness of predicting the plot, and decided to use this advantage to help Lei Yuxiu gain more advantages.

So she has no objection to following Gu Yunzheng back to Dapei.

Temporary separation may also allow me to think clearly about her feelings for Lei Yuxiu.

If it's just gratitude, then everything should be over after repaying your favor.

The carriage was bumping, and Gu Yunzheng in the carriage watched Xiao Man with his eyes closed without saying a word.

There was a smug chuckle at the corner of his mouth.

When I first met this girl, I didn't think she was anything special.

But gradually I don't know why I am attracted to her.

It's like a piece of original rice cake, without adding any seasoning, just the original taste makes people obsessed.

Gu Yunzheng suddenly remembered what his father Emperor Xian had said about Chang Xiaoman at the ceremony.

Indeed, compared to those ostentatious ladies from aristocratic families, ordinary women are more popular.

Presumably Xiaoman's biological mother, the princess of the Shuo clan, also attracted his father because of this indifferent taste.

Thinking this way, Gu Yunzheng felt that like a father like a son, he found the reason why he was attracted to this girl.

Suddenly, Gu Yunzheng thought of Gu Yunshen, the brother of the Nine Emperors was probably attracted by Chang Xiaoman in the same way.

Not only to fight for the crown prince, but also to fight for women.

This Ninth Emperor Brother is too worrying.

Since Gu Yunshen wanted it, he couldn't let it go.Whether it is the country or the woman, it should be his.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzheng raised the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly listened to the sound of the carriage rolling over the dirt.

a few days later.

Gu Yunzheng and Xiaoman entered the territory of Dapei. Unlike Nanyi, the plague in Dapei has not been effectively controlled and has intensified.

After passing through several villages, the condition of the patients inside was more serious than when they came.

Chang Xiaoman handed over the prevention and treatment prescriptions to Gu Yunzheng, and Gu Yunzheng arranged for his subordinates to apply the medicines along the way.

Wherever he went, the plague was immediately brought under control because of the prescription.

Wherever he passed, Gu Yunzheng gained a lot of popular support, and people even knelt on both sides of the road to welcome Gu Yunzheng's convoy passing by.

The patients who got the medicine kowtowed to Gu Yunzheng and Chang Xiaoman, which made Xiaoman feel ashamed.

"Will Wan Chenglin's medicine not work?" Chang Xiaoman asked.

"Not only did it not work, but it poisoned a lot of people who were taking the drug."

"How could this be?"

"Maybe she was too anxious, so the dosage of the medicine was not carefully considered."

"Now that you have obtained this prescription, you have won the hearts of the people. You must seize the opportunity. I will help you win the crown prince." Chang Xiaoman said firmly to Gu Yunzheng.

Gu Yunzheng was taken aback, "How do you know that I want to fight for the crown prince?"

"Whether you want to fight or not, you must be the prince."

Gu Yunzheng looked at Chang Xiaoman with piercing eyes, "Okay, with your help, I will definitely win the crown prince."

"However, if one day you inherit the Dapei throne, please promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Gu Yunzheng smiled and wondered, is this little girl negotiating terms with him? It's really interesting.

"I want a Danshu Iron Coupon to avoid death."

"Okay, I promise you." Seeing her seriousness, Gu Yunzheng seemed to really think that he would definitely become emperor.

"a man of his words."

"Well, but can I ask one more question, why do you want the Danshu Iron Coupon?"

"Don't ask, just remember to give it to me when the time comes."

Gu Yunzheng nodded and agreed, she didn't want status rewards, money and real estate, but a gold medal for avoiding death.

How could a decent person know that he would definitely commit a capital crime in the future, or that he was at risk of committing a capital crime, so he came to ask the emperor to give him a guarantee not to kill?
Chang Xiaoman didn't think about Gu Yunzheng's thoughts, but simply wanted to get an iron coupon for Lei Yuxiu's alchemy book, and try her best to get him more and greater guarantees.

"I can return to the capital tomorrow, Yunxi will be very happy to see you." Gu Yunzheng said.

When Yunxi was mentioned, Xiaoman suddenly remembered something: "I heard that His Majesty sent Yunxi to marry him."

Gu Yunzheng nodded, "Well, I heard that my father listened to that old man Yu Songjie's suggestion and wanted to send her to Beirong."

"No! This must be stopped!" Chang Xiaoman grabbed Gu Yunzheng's arm suddenly, and said without hesitation, "Sending her to Beirong is sending her to die!"
