Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

A few days after that thrilling night, the atmosphere in the capital was finally less tense, and the situation in the palace was barely stabilized.

Shops on the street began to open one after another, and the number of pedestrians on the road increased significantly. There were no more ferocious soldiers breaking into houses and searching them randomly, and the city gates that had been closed for many days were finally opened.

Everything seems to be the same as before.

But everyone knows that the sky above their heads is different after all.

But life must go on.

The people are the most vulnerable and the strongest. The slightest disturbance will make them tremble with fear and lose their souls, but they can endure the suffering of war and the destruction of their families.

Contradictory and harmonious.

When Xu Huaiyi was riding his horse, eager to go out of the city to pick up his wife, he saw this scene and couldn't help but express such emotion.

When they got to the manor, he spoke sentimentally to Gu Huanxi for a few more words, "Sometimes I really don't understand, how can the people be so forgetful? It's only been a few days since the coup? There was fighting all night that day, and so many people died. Who wouldn't have psychological trauma and some shadow left on their face?

Anyway, I still can’t get over it. My scalp tingles when I think about it.

But look at the people, they seem to have forgotten everything. Those who go to work, open shops, look for work, and even beggars can bask in the sun with peace of mind. Tsk tsk, what is this?"

After listening to this, Gu Huanxi complained angrily, "What else can the people do if they don't let it go quickly? Can they seek revenge on the murderer or bring their dead relatives back to life? If they can't do anything, don't they just have to accept it?

The robbed money can no longer be recovered, and the dead can’t be cried back, but the living still have to continue living. If they don’t find a way to make money quickly, who will support them?

How can ordinary people, who are living in danger from day to day, have the right to be sad about the passing of time?

You are the only one who is so hypocritical! "

Xu Huaiyi was choked and speechless.

After a moment, he explained to himself sheepishly, "In fact, I really admire the people for being so strong and optimistic, and for being able to think positively and let go. This is all great wisdom in life. Otherwise, our Chinese nation has experienced so many wars and hardships, but has still been able to thrive for thousands of years. It is all supported by this spirit!

Hehe, I really can’t compare to you, and it’s hard for me to do it. If it were me…”

Gu Huanxi asked with interest, "What will you do?"

Xu Huaiyi thought about that scene, his property being robbed, his wife and daughter being harmed, and he was filled with a rage that wanted to destroy the world. How could he let it go and continue to live in peace?

"I will definitely make them pay with blood, ten times the price. Otherwise, I won't be able to calm down and live like this."

Gu Huanxi was not surprised to hear this answer. "People are always different. You choose to seek justice for yourself because you have the confidence and ability to do so, but the people don't. They have to convince themselves to let it go. This is in their best interest. Otherwise, they will never live a comfortable life with resentment and hatred."

Xu Huaiyi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with relief, "You are right, I took it for granted. If you can't change the facts and current situation, you have to learn to face and accept it calmly."

This is also survival wisdom.

Gu Huanxi didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the subject and asked, "Are people no longer being arrested in the city?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Well, we have caught all those who should be caught. Those who cannot be caught have simply run away. The court has sent a pair of imperial guards to hunt down the Prince of Chu and his father, but there is still no news. In all likelihood, they will end up empty-handed."

"Isn't that letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"That can't be helped. The King of Chu is still quite capable, but he won't be able to stir up any trouble in the next three to five years. He also suffered heavy losses in the palace coup, so he will have to rest and recuperate for a few years before he can recover."

"Is that the next monarch's biggest concern?"

"Not necessarily. I guess the King of Chu should have taken the rest of his troops out to sea. It's impossible for him to hide in the mountains all the time. If he endures that for a few years, he will be exhausted. Going out to sea and occupying a small island, the emperor is far away, and he can do whatever he wants. How comfortable and free is that? Who would want to rebel if he lives a carefree life?"

"That makes sense. What about the palace? Is everything safe?"

"How could that be possible? Everyone is thinking about the issue of appointing a crown prince, and this time the Queen Mother came out in person to inquire about it."

Gu Huanxi blinked, "She doesn't eat vegetarian food or chant Buddhist scriptures anymore?"

Xu Huaiyi mocked, "Maybe he's afraid that if he doesn't fight for it, he'll have no chance at all."

Gu Huanxi sighed, "It seems that the King of Qin is really not clean. I wonder if Emperor Jianxing has guessed it."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "He's not stupid, but even if he guessed it, he has to pretend not to know for the time being. He's sick now, and he has to take care of the former dynasty and the harem. How can he handle it? If he really turns against the King of Qin, there's no guarantee that another eunuch will try to harm him.

The King of Qin and the Queen Mother must have secretly recruited a lot of people in the palace who can play a decisive role at the critical moment.

Emperor Jianxing doesn’t dare to gamble anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Huanxi couldn't help but frown and asked, "What is the attitude in the court?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "It's a secret."

"Hmm? No one in the court cares about the succession?"

"No, I just don't dare to express my opinion. Everyone knows that Emperor Jianxing has a son named Prince Qi, and the position of crown prince belongs to him. But because of this, Prince Qi's situation has become very dangerous. No one dares to mention it, for fear that Prince Qi will also be harmed. That would be really..."

"And the Cabinet?"

"The cabinet is busy cleaning up the mess."

"What did the Grandmaster think? He must have communicated with you, right?"

"Well, Master's attitude is very clear. Prince Qi must be brought back safely. This is also what Prime Minister Lu meant. They both firmly support the descendants of Emperor Jianxing to inherit the throne. Otherwise, there will definitely be another palace coup and civil strife. Dayong can't stand it again and again."

Gu Huanxi understood instantly.

As long as the King of Qi is there, no matter how much other royal descendants covet the throne, they will have no chance to touch it. After all, if the name is not right, the words will not be smooth, and not everyone can bear the reputation of rebelling and forcing the emperor to abdicate and make a desperate effort.

But if the King of Qi was gone, then everyone would have the hope of being adopted. The royal family had no shortage of sons. After decades of reproduction, there must have been dozens of them. Emperor Jianxing alone had three brothers of the same generation. The King of Qin was the legitimate son, and the other two were the King of Ping and the King of An. The other two were also idle princes, just eating and waiting to die. But if they were to be adopted, they would be qualified.

The Prince of Qin has the support of the Queen Mother, so he has more bargaining chips. Moreover, the Prince of Qin is both civil and military, and his reputation and ability are far superior to those of the Prince of Qi. Except for the fact that he is not the biological son of Emperor Jianxing, he is fully qualified to ascend the throne.

But if that happens, it will be chaos.

"Then Master... wants you to pick it up, right?"

"Well, there's no way around it this time."

"Then go ahead."

"I'll discuss this with Han Jun. He will definitely have to contribute as well."

After lunch, the group returned to the Jingning Marquis’ Mansion in a low-key manner.

I haven't lived here for more than half a month, but there haven't been many changes. Only the forsythia planted between the rocks has quietly bloomed, and the tender yellow buds have added a lot of spring color to the depressed yard.

After returning, Xu Huaiyi prepared to go to the north to meet the King of Qi.

Han Jun also helped to arrange manpower, striving to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Others are also busy every day, each doing their own job.

A few days passed in a flash, and Xu Huaiyi left Beijing with a thousand guards.

After he left, Gu Xiaoyu was obviously worried. Even though he ate, slept and studied as usual, he just couldn't relax, as if he was carrying a heavy pressure.

Gu Huanxi asked A Li to play with him more often and often tried to comfort him, but the effect was not satisfactory.

He always responded with a smile on his face, but was worried behind his back.

This is also normal.

After all, he is my biological father, and his life or death is unpredictable. No matter how calm I am, I can't just act as if nothing has happened.

As the suffering continued, the weather gradually warmed up.

Ali also became busier. She not only had to study with Dr. Jiao, but also had to take care of the planted herbs, and also find time to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, as well as the various vegetables in the greenhouse.

In short, like a little spinning top, there is no moment of leisure.

Compared to her mother, Gu Huanxi, her life is more fulfilling and diligent.

A month later, the impact and damage brought to the capital by the palace coup had disappeared.

The streets and alleys were bustling again. The smell of blood was gone from the air. Instead, the air was filled with the aroma of food and the scent of women's rouge.

Gu Huanxi looked through the account books handed in by the managers and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the war last winter, all businesses had inevitably been affected. Monthly profits had gradually decreased, and even started to lose money. After the New Year, there was a palace coup and no shops dared to open. Naturally, business plummeted.

Now, I have finally recovered.

The bad business has a lot to do with Su Zhe.

On the night of the palace coup, the Su family was indeed targeted by someone, and unfortunately, they were besieged by a group of people. No matter how many guards the Su family hired, they could not withstand the bullying of several parties. In the end, they broke in and looted without any care.

The loss of property was incalculable, as were the casualties.

They can be said to be one of the most miserable families in the capital.

The Su family has suffered such a great disaster, how can they have any extra energy to run the business?

Moreover, Su Zhe's eldest brother Su Rui died that night. A few days later, Su Zhe's father also died because he could not bear the pain of losing his son and died of depression.

After a series of blows, Su Zhe lost more than ten pounds, but he still had to stay strong and deal with the aftermath.

Ever since the crown prince was deposed, the Su family has been in a state of panic, fearing that they would be purged by the court. Secretly, many people have been looking for ways out for themselves and have paid no attention to the family business.

When they learned that the prince had forced himself to abdicate, they became even more frightened, fearing that they would be implicated and punished. The position of head of the family, which they had fought so hard for in the past, now became a bomb that everyone tried to avoid.

Second Uncle Su Zhe simply moved out of the Su family mansion overnight, and as soon as the city gates opened, he couldn't wait to return to his hometown to avoid the storm.

It was under such circumstances that no one was optimistic about Su Zhe, yet he took the position of patriarch and took over the mess that was the Su family.

He didn't ask Xu Huaiyi for help.

Xu Huaiyi asked the question proactively, but he just smiled and said a few words to brush it off.

The current Su family is a burden, but also an opportunity. Su Zhe not only does not feel pain, on the contrary, he is in high spirits and full of energy.

Afterwards, Xu Huaiyi even said to her, "Without destruction, there is no construction. Su Zhe is a smart man. As long as he seizes this opportunity, accepts the mission and turns the tide, then his time will come. The power of the Su family will belong to him in the future, and no one will be able to interfere."

Gu Huanxi deeply agreed with this.

Xu Huaiyi reminded again, "Don't stop the business with him. Others are afraid that the Su family is too deeply involved with the late crown prince and will be implicated, but we are not afraid. It is reasonable for us not to be the kind of villain who seeks profit and avoids harm at this time."

Gu Huanxi naturally agreed.

She is also optimistic about Su Zhe's abilities and the future development of the Su family, and of course she will not break up now. A temporary predicament may also lead to a lifetime of wealth.

She still has a clear account of this.

After the business was back on track, Xu Huaiyi finally arrived in Northern Xinjiang.

There were no ambushes or roadblocks along the way, and even though we rode at top speed, it still took us nearly a month to complete the journey. You can imagine how hard it was.

With the RV, Xu Huaiyi did not go hungry. He drank a lot of nourishing soups and water three times a day. Therefore, he did not lose weight, but he looked haggard.

The further north you go, the stronger the wind and sand become, and your skin becomes darker and rougher day by day, and you look several years older.

Xu Huaiyi complained a lot.

Gu Huanxi found it funny, and although she disliked him, she felt relieved when she learned that he arrived safely.

Xu Huaiyi finally had the chance to stay in the RV, wash his face and hair, and tidy himself up.

Water was scarce along the way, so he had to take care of food and drink first. There was no way to take a shower. He could secretly take a shower in the car, but he didn't dare to clean up his hair and face.

Otherwise, the others all looked like rough men with frosted faces, but he was so smooth and sleek, who wouldn't be suspicious?

When he came out of the bathroom refreshed, Gu Huanxi asked hurriedly, "Did you see the King of Qi?"

Xu Huaiyi slumped down on the sofa comfortably and shook his head. "Not yet. It will be dark when we arrive. We are such a large group. Should we settle down first? Besides, we are all very sloppy and smell bad. It will be considered disrespectful to meet the King of Qi in this state. Let's get up tomorrow morning."

"Where are Han Jun and the people from Prince Qi's Palace?"

"Even if they go to see him, they have different feelings after all. Besides, the King of Qi is also anxious to know about the affairs of the palace. As for us, we have nothing in common with him, so he may not trust us in his heart."

At this point, he suddenly said sourly, "We helped him raise his son and did our best, but it's been three years and he doesn't even know about it. On the surface, we are still strangers to him. Ha, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Gu Huanxi didn't have that sour attitude, she just reminded him, "When you see him tomorrow, be respectful to him, don't act arrogantly and think that you have to repay him for raising his son. You brought Xiaoyu home, he didn't give him to you."

Xu Huaiyi said "hmm" reluctantly.

"Try to build a good relationship with him, not for profit, but for Xiaoyu, so as to save Xiaoyu from getting into trouble."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. I promise to be polite to him tomorrow, flattering him and showing him more respect than I did to Emperor Jianxing. Okay?"

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi became even more worried.
